Outside Spirit Hall City, Amon's main body sat on a branch of a tall tree.
He had been here for a long time, not daring to enter the city, fearing being surrounded and killed by Bibi Dong, nor daring to stray too far from Spirit Hall City, fearing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would find him by relying on the guidance of fate, bringing Di Tian to his doorstep.
Outside Spirit Hall City was the safest place for him right now.
As long as he hid his tracks well, the probability of being besieged by Spirit Hall experts was very low. If Di Tian attacked, he could also hide in Spirit Hall City, using Qian Daoliu's power to repel him.
It was foreseeable that he would have to live like this for the next three years. Although it looked a bit miserable and timid, safety came first.
As long as his life was guaranteed, everything else could be endured.
A temporary dormancy was for a better take-off.
The avatar walked unhurriedly, carrying the soul bones. The avatar did not have the ability to absorb soul bones.
Except for Amon's original special external soul bone attached to his spirit, which could be transferred to the avatar, they could not absorb the remaining soul bones.
Amon didn't know what skills these eight soul bones possessed, nor did he care too much. Low-year soul bones rarely produced top-quality skills. He treated them all as nourishment for his external soul bone.
This external soul bone was very useful to Amon, and the "ability to materialize" spirit power characteristic it brought not only benefited his main body but also extended to his avatars.
After absorbing the soul bones, the spirit power characteristic was further strengthened. Amon was somewhat looking forward to how tough his materialized spirit power would become if he raised this external soul bone to the million-year or ten-million-year level.
After absorbing the soul bones, Amon connected his spirit to the clone heading towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest through relay-style transmission.
The surrounding trees grew taller and taller, more and more ancient. The frequency of spirit beast appearances didn't change much, but their years were much higher than before.
Amon could feel the forest's malice towards him.
"Roar…" A roar came from ahead. A lizard with backward-curving horns and a row of spikes extending from its neck to its tail, looking somewhat like a dragon, darted out of the bushes.
A black and yellow striped tiger leaped out of the shrubs.
Branches rustled from the side. A giant python, twenty meters long, slowly descended from the canopy.
These were three ten-thousand-year spirit beasts!
Under normal circumstances, ten-thousand-year spirit beasts of different species rarely joined forces, but this time, the order from the spirit beast king made them abandon their opposition and face the enemy together.
Amon adjusted his monocle and smiled, "Does organization begin with ten-thousand-year spirit beasts… That's right, the intelligence of thousand-year-level spirit beasts is too low for precise command."
He clicked his tongue and muttered:
"This avatar is only composed of two Worms of Time, it's a bit difficult to face three ten-thousand-year spirit beasts."
The giant python opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of acid. In an instant, a large area of vegetation was poisoned by the strong, corrosive venom.
Amon jumped back, dodging the attack.
The striped tiger pounced fiercely, and a spherical spirit power barrier opened, blocking it.
Since the quality of his external soul bone had exceeded one hundred thousand years, under the same spirit power output, the hardness and toughness of his materialized spirit power had even surpassed Romier's Barrier Spirit.
The tiger crashed headfirst into the barrier, dizzy.
The Worm of Time in his body seized the opportunity and threw a "Deceit" over. Amon crossed his arms and swung out a fork-shaped light wave emitting emerald green light.
The slowed-down tiger-shaped spirit beast couldn't dodge, and its body was instantly cut into several pieces.
The single-target attack skill "Eternal Creation" from the one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring finally displayed its strength and dominance.
Under the circumstances that the basics of both sides are not very different, it can almost directly kill the opponent!
Before, it didn't seem very powerful in Amon's hands because he was facing Dugu Bo, who was many levels higher than him.
The death of the tiger-shaped spirit beast made the other two feel uneasy, but their hesitation didn't last long before they attacked again.
These lower-year spirit beasts could hardly resist the orders issued by Di Tian using his bloodline.
A lizard with some dragon-like features suddenly burrowed into the earth, then darted out, launching an attack from underground.
Amon jumped high, but was swallowed by the giant python that was coiled in the tree, waiting for an opportunity to move.
A spherical object slid down its throat and finally disappeared into a wider part of its body.
Light receded, darkness descended, and Amon could feel the giant python's wriggling stomach walls. He unhurriedly changed the shape of the barrier, and sharp thorns grew from the surface of the sphere.
Under the pressure of the giant python's own muscles, the thorns pierced through its body, emerging from its surface.
The giant python spat out blood and writhed in pain. It wanted to spit Amon out, but the thorns were firmly stuck in its flesh.
After struggling for five or six minutes, it finally lost its life due to excessive blood loss.
Amon changed the shape of the thorns again, turning them into long swords.
The long swords rotated, easily cutting the giant python into two sections.
He walked out of the corpse unscathed, without even a trace of blood on his body.
Amon used the last chance to use the stolen spirit skill on the lizard with some dragon-like features, and a move of "Eternal Creation" ended its life.
After solving the three ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, a shadow was cast from the sky.
Amon looked up and saw a huge creature suspended quietly in the sky.
This was a giant bear, fifteen meters tall, covered with dense and thick dark golden fur, with unusually long and extremely thick arms, and the muscles bulging on its shoulders were like small hills.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, with a cultivation base exceeding four hundred thousand years, Lord Bear! The second strongest existence in direct combat among the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Seeing this terrifying ferocious beast, there was no panic in Amon's eyes, but he greeted with a smile: "You must be Lord Bear."
With the blessing of the affinity brought by Amon's second spirit skill, Lord Bear unexpectedly didn't find him annoying, and said in a muffled voice:
"Human, although I don't understand why the Auspicious Beast said you would destroy the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest, I must kill you."
Seeing Lord Bear appear, Amon initially judged that in the Star Dou Great Forest, spirit beasts with more than ten thousand years of cultivation could transmit messages to each other, contacting the ferocious beasts in the forest.
Moreover, Lord Bear was able to rush over so quickly, indicating that it was not in the depths of the forest, but waiting in a more peripheral area.
Specially arranged to deal with me… Amon shrugged and said with a slightly helpless expression:
"I don't know either. I'm just chasing that rabbit, a one-hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. Is it so important to your Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Do you have any last words?"
Amon showed a slightly evil smile:
"Last words? I'm afraid I won't need them yet. Go back and tell that rabbit to wash her body clean and wait for me."
Lord Bear's sharp claws slapped down, turning him into a puddle of flesh.
It didn't leave immediately, but waited in place.
Amon's corpse gradually became illusory and eventually disappeared.
"A clone?" Lord Bear's expression was slightly solemn. This kind of enemy with an unknown true body was undoubtedly the most troublesome existence.
It hurried towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, preparing to convey Amon's words.
At the moment when Amon's avatar died, the spirit skills he stole naturally returned to their original owner.
Yan Jin, who was gnawing on chicken feet in a tavern in Spirit Hall City, stopped her movements and frowned.
Soon, her worry for Amon only lasted for three seconds, and she was once again attracted by the delicious braised chicken feet.
She had confidence in Amon. Even if it was the end of the world, he would probably be the last one to die.
Bibi Dong, who was standing on the corridor gazing into the distance, had a slight change in expression, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
She felt that her stolen sixth "Eternal Creation" had returned!
However, she hadn't been happy for long before her face darkened again. Her twelve spirit skills were once again silent. Although eleven of them returned immediately, "Eternal Creation" did not return.
She raised her head, saw Amon sitting on the roof, smiling at her, and said with gritted teeth:
"Duke Amon, what do you mean? Aren't you going back to govern your fiefdom properly, but specifically coming over to tease me?"
"How dare I…" Amon shrugged, "It was an accident."
Just then, Yue Guan walked over and bowed, "Your Majesty, there's trouble."
"What is it?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly.
"Recently, within Spirit Hall City, many people have reported that their spirit skills have suddenly disappeared and cannot be used, as if… they have been stolen."
The corner of Bibi Dong's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and she said softly: "I know, ignore it."
Yue Guan hesitated.
Seeing his expression, Bibi Dong asked: "Is there anything else?"
Yue Guan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, Old Ghost also lost a skill. He's anxiously searching for the reason everywhere."
Bibi Dong was silent. After a long time, she said: "You go down first. I know he's very anxious. Tell him not to worry first. I'll explain to him later."
"Yes."
Before leaving, Yue Guan glanced at Amon. He held a respectful but distant attitude towards this imperial duke who often appeared around the Pope recently.
After "Chrysanthemum Douluo" Yue Guan left, Bibi Dong stared at Amon and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
The strength Amon displayed at the Spirit Master Competition was amazing, but there were also many suspicious points, so there were various opinions within Spirit Hall about his actual strength.
However, one point that was unanimously agreed upon was that he was at least a Titled Douluo, most likely a Super Douluo, and there was a very small possibility that he had reached Qian Daoliu's level, an Ultimate Douluo.
Without any major conflicts, Bibi Dong was unwilling to clash with him head-on. But she wouldn't tolerate it all the time. If Amon went too far, she would definitely retaliate.
"I'm looking for suitable spirit skills. I just got the latest news that something happened inside the Star Dou Great Forest, making it very dangerous," Amon said, half-truthfully.
"Something happened?" Bibi Dong looked puzzled, then asked: "When exactly are you planning to take me to hunt those spirit beasts?"
"Three years from now, I need to do some preparations," Amon said with a light smile.
"What? Three years?" A hint of anger appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
"That's not long, right? At our level, top-quality spirit rings that can meet our requirements are not easy to find," Amon responded.
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then three years it is."
