This time absorbing the Spirit Ring, Dugu Feng didn't believe there would be any danger. His physical strength had already surpassed that of most Soul Masters.
With numerous trump cards at his disposal, success was merely a matter of time!
As time passed, the first challenge Dugu Feng resolved was the Unicorn Earthworm's Soul Impact.
He had set up multiple lines of defense within his Sea of Spirit.
The amplification power of the Soul Bone had increased his spiritual power by nearly thirty percent, forming the first line of defense.
The formidable mental toxin, Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom, served as the second line of defense.
Following that was his Asura Domain, where the dark red Asura Power enveloped the entire Sea of Spirit.
When the Unicorn Earthworm's soul descended with the Spirit Ring energy, it retained its original form.
Its serpent-like body was crowned with a sharp unicorn horn.
The Unicorn Earthworm felt deeply wronged and unwilling, its intense resentment transforming into a surge of impact energy.
"Pierce!"
A sharp, buzzing sound rang out as a green light shot from the unicorn horn.
The green light, like an arrow released from a bow, struck Dugu Feng's mind.
His entire body trembled from the impact.
"It ignores defense and can only be offset by energy!"
The defensive line of Asura Power he had set up had proven utterly ineffective.
He could only rely on the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom and his innate spiritual power to neutralize the green light.
Spiritual energy could only be countered with spiritual energy.
Dugu Feng suddenly understood the terrifying nature of this unicorn horn.
Although this was the Unicorn Earthworm, executing its attack through Soul Impact, its natural skill likely functioned similarly under normal circumstances.
Dugu Feng suddenly recalled Bibi Dong's second Martial Soul's sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Creation.
So that's how it was!
In the original storyline, both Bibi Dong's sixth and seventh Spirit Rings were 100,000-Year Spirit Rings.
The sixth Soul Skill was an overpowering single-target attack skill, releasing intersecting green light waves from both arms. The attack was ineffective against physical defense and reduced energy defense by fifty percent.
Once struck, enemies could only rely on Soul Power energy to dissipate the attack's force.
Wasn't this exactly the Unicorn Earthworm's horn attack?
But now, if the sixth Spirit Ring granted the same skill, that would be perfect.
Within his Sea of Spirit, Dugu Feng continuously used his spiritual power to deplete the attacks from the Unicorn Earthworm's soul.
In a short while, his Sea of Spirit became riddled with holes.
Even healing progressed slowly.
Yet, the more this happened, the more excited Dugu Feng became.
It demonstrated the power of the Unicorn Earthworm's Soul Skill.
Since it was a Soul Impact and the energy couldn't be replenished, as long as Dugu Feng maintained the upper hand during the Spirit Ring absorption process, he would eventually wear it down completely.
Visibly, the Unicorn Earthworm's soul grew thinner, transparent, and finally dissipated entirely, transforming into a stream of energy that merged into Dugu Feng's Sea of Spirit.
Like sweet rain falling from heaven, the battered Sea of Spirit instantly restored itself.
Dugu Feng immediately felt invigorated and full of vitality.
Each Soul Impact he endured served as a baptism for his spiritual power.
He had withstood the Soul Impact of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
The gains he obtained were self-evident.
With the Soul Impact resolved, the Spirit Ring absorption was halfway to victory. All that remained was the Spirit Ring energy within his body.
Glistening red light enveloped his body, interweaving with his original purple Soul Power. Dugu Feng's physique was undergoing an indescribably powerful baptism.
With the energy of the 100,000-Year Soul Ring, his body gradually underwent a qualitative transformation.
His skin pores at this moment completely turned purplish-gold.
His entire being radiated a sacred aura unlike that of a human.
Quantitative change had reached qualitative change.
Dugu Feng had tempered his body through the Little Pill Pearl since childhood, with the torment of toxins laying a solid foundation for his physical strength.
Then, five instances of absorbing Spirit Rings beyond his level brought successive enhancements, coupled with the reinforcement and support from three External Soul Bones, the Head Soul Bone of Spiritual Wisdom, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and the Azure Wood Jade Dragon Right Arm Bone. This had already pushed Dugu Feng's body to the limit of what a human could achieve.
Now, absorbing another 100,000-Year Soul Ring.
Finally allowed his body to transcend humanity and advance toward the realm of divinity.
The golden light that appeared was the symbol of him surpassing human limits.
On Dugu Feng's forehead, the originally rainbow-colored rhomboid scales gained a layer of golden radiance.
The golden light slowly descended, circulated once within his body, gradually stabilizing the Soul Ring energy he was absorbing.
The energy of the Unicorn Earthworm became docile, bit by bit integrating into his body.
Outside his body, the sixth Spirit Ring appeared.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Red—six neatly arranged Spirit Rings looked incredibly captivating.
The second Spirit Ring was purple, the fourth was black, and the sixth was red.
Any one of these three Spirit Rings appearing would leave people speechless with shock.
Let alone all three appearing together.
Dugu Feng opened his eyes while in the state of absorbing the Spirit Ring. Seeing this blood-red sixth Soul Ring, his eyes shone exceptionally bright.
Advancing to Soul Emperor by absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring was simply perfect.
But this wasn't over yet.
Another unique aspect of 100,000-Year Soul Beasts was the Soul Bone. A red light shot out and landed on Dugu Feng.
"Torso Bone!"
Dugu Feng was stunned.
He had always anticipated the Torso Bone would come from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but never expected this Unicorn Earthworm would provide the Torso Bone.
Suddenly sensing something, Dugu Feng looked at the Unicorn Earthworm's corpse and saw the horn on its head had disappeared—it had actually transformed into part of the Torso Bone along with the red light.
Dugu Feng's expression turned serious.
The Torso Bone was the most important among the six Soul Bones.
Its enhancement and improvement to the body were also the greatest.
This sudden appearance of the Torso Bone even made him apprehensive—if the Soul Skill wasn't powerful enough, the loss would be tremendous.
As the Torso Bone entered his body, it instantly caused his External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, to burst forth from his body.
The Eight Spider Lances had already evolved once after absorbing the new External Soul Bone from Tang San's fourth Spirit Ring last time.
Following Dugu Feng's fifth Spirit Ring, which was also absorbed from a Man-faced Demon Spider, the energy of the Eight Spider Lances had formed Ruby Armor within his body.
The armor extended from his neck to his waist, from his chest to his back, connecting all eight spider legs.
Now, as soon as it appeared, Dugu Feng's upper body blossomed with blood-red ruby armor.
This Ruby Armor energy connected to every bone in Dugu Feng's body.
And the Torso Bone similarly needed to fuse with the bones of his upper body.
This caused a collision between the Eight Spider Lances energy and the Torso Bone energy.
Dugu Feng carefully sensed and discovered that even the Scorpion Pincers energy within his arms and the Fox Tail External Soul Bone at the end of his spine were standing ready.
It seemed that if the Torso Bone energy encroached on their territory, they would immediately counterattack.
"Hmm? How dare they cause trouble while inside my body!"
Dugu Feng let out a cold snort.
The rhomboid scales on his forehead once again emitted a faint golden light.
The light split into several streams, shining respectively upon the torso bone and the three external soul bone energies.
Instantly, the tense standoff completely disappeared.
