The soul ring was successfully absorbed without any unexpected danger.

  Ding! Congratutions, host! You have completed the main task: [Third Soul Ring]!

  Reward: Random Martial Soul x1!

  Congratutions to host Xiao Tianyang for obtaining the martial soul: Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Fme.

  Xiao Tianyang slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

  At the same time, he lowered his head and examined the fusion fire in his palm.

  Absorbing the third soul ring hadn't significantly altered the fusion of different fmes. However, the newly acquired "Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Fme" had subtly infused the existing Fme with golden sparks, making it even more dazzling.

  "This third soul skill… is quite interesting."

  Xiao Tianyang gnced at the system interface in his mind, and a slight smirk appeared on his lips.

  Xiao Tianyang's expression turned thoughtful.

  This newly acquired soul skill was a fusion of control, sustained damage, and energy drain!

  To put it simply, Burning Sky Shackle Formation primarily focused on restricting movement and exhausting the opponent, while its damage aspect was secondary.

  Meanwhile, Fire and Ice Heart Lotus was also a rge-scale control ability, but it leaned more toward dealing direct damage.

  If he first deployed Fire and Ice Heart Lotus to lock down an area and then bombarded it, he could unleash devastating firepower.

  However, it had a fw—if the opponent was strong enough, they could force their way out of its range.

  But if he combined it with Burning Sky Shackle Formation...

  Even Xiao Tianyang himself shuddered at the thought.

  Not only would it inflict dual-yered damage, but it would also create a scenario where there was no escape—a situation that would drive any enemy into utter despair!

  Just as he was immersed in these thoughts—

  Suddenly, an intense pain erupted in his back!

  Xiao Tianyang groaned, his body instinctively leaning forward, hands pressing against the ground.

  "Wait… why does my back suddenly hurt so much?!"

  A stinging sensation spread through his shoulder bdes as if something was about to burst out from within!

  Puff!

  A pair of wings—crystal-clear like jade, yet dark as ink—suddenly sprouted from both sides of his spine!

  The moment they emerged, they began rapidly absorbing his soul power as nourishment, growing at an astonishing speed!

  "This… is an external soul bone?!"

  Xiao Tianyang quickly realized what was happening. Though the pain was sharp, his face lit up with excitement!

  Compared to the reward he had just received, the pain was insignificant.

  At first, he had thought he was suffering from an unknown backsh. But now that he understood the situation, he merely gritted his teeth and endured it.

  Once the pain gradually faded and the external soul bone was fully formed, Xiao Tianyang tried controlling the wings with his mind.

  It was then that he made another discovery—

  There wasn't just one pair of wings!

  Instead, he had a total of six pairs of these purple-bck crystalline wings!

  However, two of the pairs were still small, appearing insignificant compared to the fully developed main set, which had a wingspan exceeding four meters.

  "This is incredible! Not only did I gain an amazing soul skill, but I also received an external soul bone!"

  With a gentle fp of his wings, Xiao Tianyang's body lifted half a meter into the air. He couldn't help but ugh in delight.

  Originally, he had been worried about the unpredictability of this altered storyline.

  Since things had changed so much, he wasn't sure if the Titan Giant Ape would still treat them as in the original plot. This uncertainty had left him uneasy.

  But in the end, he discovered that the Titan Giant Ape didn't actively harm them.

  Of course, being thrown away like trash… wasn't exactly a pleasant experience either.

  However, there was no need to hold grudges. This was simply the nature of the retionship between humans and soul beasts.

  Shaking off those thoughts, Xiao Tianyang furrowed his brows.

  "An external soul bone shouldn't only have this one function, right?"

  A strange sensation welled up in his heart. Acting on instinct, he fpped his wings forward.

  "Shh-shh-shh!"

  Several purple-bck feathers shot out like razor-sharp arrows, piercing through multiple trees before embedding themselves in a massive tree as thick as a water tank!

  And that wasn't all—

  As soon as their momentum was halted, the feathers ignited into fmes, burning the massive tree in seconds!

  "As expected! External soul bones originating from divine beasts are on a completely different level! These wings have so many functions!"

  Xiao Tianyang grinned from ear to ear.

  His joy was beyond words!

  Meanwhile, Bubu, standing beside him, looked on with undisguised envy.

  His usual pyful expression was gone, repced by pure admiration and longing.

  He secretly hoped that one day, he too would obtain such a powerful external soul bone—one that was not only useful but incredibly cool!

  "Since these wings were obtained from the Xuanjing Evil Phoenix, I will name them—"Xuanjing Phoenix Wings!"

  As soon as he spoke, the system interface updated, listing "Xuanjing Phoenix Wings" under the Soul Bone section, beled as an External Soul Bone.

  "This was a great haul, but I think I've been away for long enough. Time to head back."

  Xiao Tianyang retracted his wings, and as his feet touched the ground, he took out a fresh set of clothes.

  The transformation had left him covered in blood, and his clothes had been completely destroyed.

  But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. He needed to leave the Star Dou Forest as soon as possible!

  Wiping the blood off his body with a handkerchief, he turned to Bubu and instructed, "Lead the way, Bubu. We're leaving now."

  Bubu wagged his tail and started walking ahead.

  But just as they were about to leave—

  "Whoosh!"

  A cold light fshed through the air!

  A flying sword shot down like a lightning bolt, piercing the ground right in front of Bubu, just a finger's width from his nose!

  "Woof!"

  Bubu's usual zy demeanor vanished in an instant, repced by a fierce, threatening growl!

  Xiao Tianyang's expression darkened.

  The Ancient God's Eyes opened on his forehead, emitting a golden glow as he examined the attacker—

  Name: Chen Xin

  Title: Sword Douluo

  Affiliation:Elder of the Seven Treasure Gzed Tile Sect

  Strength: Level 94 Titled Douluo

  Xiao Tianyang frowned in confusion.

  He hadn't done anything to offend the Seven Treasure Gzed Tile Sect, had he?

  "Senior," he asked cautiously, "have I done something to offend you?"

  Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly—

  "You bullied my Rongrong… and you act as if nothing happened?"
