"It seems I still need to find time to study methods for cultivating mental strength, otherwise it will become a weakness for me."
Qing Mu thought to herself.
As a transmigrator, his mental strength should have been his strength, but unfortunately, his progress in other areas was too rapid.
In particular, the appearance of the Wood Realm Descent combo skill directly raised his combat power by several levels.
If the Wood Realm hadn't descended, Qing Mu's current combat strength would be at most level 98 invincible, barely enough to fight against an ordinary level 99. She wouldn't be a match for Qian Daoliu, let alone suppress him.
While Qing Mu's mental strength wasn't outstanding, it was actually sufficient when facing an opponent at level 98.
Shaking his head, Qing Mu rode his Mega Venusaur towards the Demon King. As Qing Mu and Venusaur moved, the Grassy Terrain began to press towards the Demon King.
"He really does have mental attributes!"
The Demon King was shocked to see the Green Grass Field closing in. He had been happy that the Green Mu vines had stopped moving, thinking that he had finally found a weakness of the Green Mu.
But to everyone's surprise, Qing Mu reacted in just a moment, which undoubtedly proved that the other party also possessed mental attributes. Otherwise, how could he have so easily broken through the effects of the mental impact?
At this moment, the Demon King felt a sense of despair. Wasn't this his own version of himself, enhanced in every aspect? How could he possibly defeat someone stronger than himself?
"run!"
Having figured this out, the Demon King immediately shrank his body, preparing to escape underground.
"Smack!"
However, this once invincible move failed to execute. The Demon King seemed to have crashed into concrete, unable to break through the soil and escape. He then possessed other plants to leap to other places.
Only then did the Demon King realize that the place he was standing in had been covered by lush grass, and he was unable to take control of the land beneath his feet.
Swish swish——
Numerous dark green vines sprouted from around the Demon King, enveloping him like a cage and blocking all his escape routes.
What's even more remarkable is that, without the support of external plant energy, his thousands of branches are simply no match for Qingmu.
Subsequently, many purple energy balls mixed with blue and red hues condensed again on these dark green vines, pouring down on the Demon King like a torrential rain.
Almost instantly, the Demon King was poisoned, but the poisonous attacks did not stop and continued to be launched, as if to overwhelm him.
After an unknown amount of time, the Demon King, who was on the verge of death and whose body was shattered, with only his head remaining, finally saw Qing Mu slowly approaching on a Mega Venusaur.
Originally, the Demon King had closed his eyes and was ready to die, but seeing that Qing Mu had not made a move, he opened his eyes again and whispered, "Hee, can we make peace? I can sacrifice myself to you, I only hope to retain my intelligence."
"Are you joking at this moment?"
Qing Mu, who was originally waiting for the Demon King's final desperate struggle, laughed in anger after hearing these words. The Demon King's skin was really thick, he could even say such shameless things.
However, this also made Qing Mu realize that the Demon King really had no more tricks up his sleeve, so he manipulated the vines to kill the Demon King.
A blood-red soul ring with numerous golden patterns condensed from the body of the Demon King. Qing Mu looked at the soul ring and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Compared to the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python, this 500,000-year-old Demon King is undoubtedly stronger. Moreover, after the battle just now, Qing Mu also discovered that the Demon King's attributes are incredibly compatible with his current state.
Perhaps the entire Douluo Continent will never find another soul ring as suitable for Qing Mu.
"That's right, the soul bone!"
After examining the soul rings for a moment, Qing Mu began manipulating the vines to search for the soul bone of the Demon King.
The attributes of this Demon King are so suitable for him, so the effect of the soul bone must be quite good.
Soon, a beam of light appeared in Qing Mu's field of vision, and Qing Mu was stunned after seeing the source of the light.
What appeared before Qing Mu was not any of the traditional six soul bones, but an energy crystal resembling a heart.
Immediately, Qing Mu's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. "Could this be... an external soul bone?"
Yes, external soul bones can be obtained just like normal soul bones, but the drop rate is extremely low.
As for Tang San's method of obtaining the Eight Spider Lances from a soul bone, that was an anomaly.
"Good stuff, now I have all my soul bones."
Qing Mu smiled as she grasped the heart-shaped external soul bone in her hand and stored it in her storage soul tool.
Qing Mu originally had three soul bones: a 30,000-year-old earth dragon soul bone, a head soul bone formed from spiritual energy, and the torso bone of the Ice Emperor Scorpion.
On the way back, Qing Mu absorbed another beast soul bone obtained from Xue Di, so Qing Mu now has a total of four soul bones.
If we add the external soul bone of the Demon King, then Qing Mu will only need two more soul bones to reach the full potential.
After putting away the soul bone, Qing Mu focused her attention on the Soul Ring of the Demon King once again.
"The battle between me and the Demon King was too loud, and this place is no longer suitable for absorbing soul rings. I need to find a new place."
Immediately, Qing Mu stored the materials of the Demon King into his storage soul tool, and summoned the Demon King's soul ring into his hand, transforming it into a green light and instantly disappearing from the spot.
Just as Qing Mu left, in the space beneath the Lake of Life, the core of the Star Dou Great Forest, a giant black-gold dragon suddenly opened its eyes from its slumber.
"The King of Ten Thousand Demons is dead? How is that possible?"
Di Tian was shocked and somewhat puzzled. He knew the strength of the Demon King all too well. He was among the top three in their ranks, and even Xiong Jun couldn't do anything to him. Who could possibly kill the Demon King?
Then, Di Tian stood up, his massive body instantly disappearing from the spot. He wanted to see what changes had occurred in the outside world.
Soon, Di Tian rushed out of the Lake of Life. He looked around and frowned when he saw the corpses of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python.
"These two spirit beasts are dead. Could it be that a powerful human has come to hunt for their spirit rings?"
The reason why Di Tian thought this way was because the Azure Bull Python's soul ring had disappeared, and judging from the Azure Bull Python's corpse, it was obvious that it had only recently died.
This is a situation that only occurs when humans hunt for spirit rings. However, what surprised Di Tian was that the traces left at the scene did not seem to indicate that many people had attacked. It seems that the human who fought against these two spirit beasts was quite powerful.
A moment later, Di Tian arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest, at the place where Qing Mu and the Demon King were fighting.
After carefully examining the traces of the battle, Di Tian frowned and said, "I never expected that there would be such a powerful figure among humans!"
