After thoroughly examining Qian Renxue's hidden powers, Dugu Feng returned to his residence in Tongshui City.
With all arrangements properly made, he now awaited the development of the battlefront.
Back in his room, Dugu Feng activated his Asura Domain.
He emitted an icy aura entirely condensed from tangible killing intent.
This aura gathered and intensified, rapidly transforming into crimson Asura Power.
The Asura Power swiftly expanded, soon filling the entire room.
Dugu Feng found himself completely enveloped in the crimson energy.
In the imperceptible air, strands of killing intent and bloody aura converged like rivers into the Asura Power surrounding Dugu Feng.
The killing intent and bloody aura here were pure, devoid of the evil energy characteristic of Slaughter City.
Dugu Feng absorbed it all with great satisfaction.
As the Asura Power continued to accumulate, Dugu Feng's heart raced, and the sound of rushing blood echoed within his body.
Dugu Feng had known from the beginning that Asura Power was a form of Bloodline Power. After his Slaughter God Domain evolved into the Asura Domain, the Asura Power had fused with his blood.
Now, with the increasing Asura Power, Dugu Feng felt his blood brimming with tremendous strength.
This power surpassed Soul Power, capable of fundamentally transforming his physique and rebirthing him anew.
Even...
Even transcending humanity!
This thought suddenly occurred to Dugu Feng.
This power could ultimately enable him to transcend humanity.
Even after absorbing three External Soul Bones and appearing like a giant scorpion, Dugu Feng never considered himself anything less than human.
But the changes in his bloodline made him feel as though he had become part of another race.
Asura!
No wonder the Asura God could ascend to godhood from the Douluo Continent. The Asura Power he comprehended was overwhelmingly powerful—an ability that fundamentally altered one's essence.
It even created an entire race.
Distinct from humanity.
Dugu Feng immersed himself deeply, diligently cultivating by harnessing the slaughter aura from the battlefield.
Apart from his occasional meetings with Qian Renxue and his intimate exchanges with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling during breaks from cultivation,
Dugu Feng devoted all his remaining time to training, determined to break through to Soul Saint as soon as possible.
As time passed, Dugu Feng felt an increasing sense of urgency.
In a short period, the Emerald Dragon Snake in Death Canyon had detected Bibi Dong twice.
The deranged Bibi Dong continuously fed Spirit Beasts, and another nearly 100,000-Year Soul Beast had entered hibernation.
Once this Spirit Beast successfully advanced, it would be time for Bibi Dong to absorb her sixth Spirit Ring.
Dugu Feng absolutely could not stand by and watch Bibi Dong enhance her power.
He was determined to seize the 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
Another three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Dugu Feng was on the verge of his breakthrough.
He immediately sought out Qian Renxue.
Dugu Feng dared not wait any longer.
In the palace where Qian Renxue resided, she warmly welcomed Dugu Feng.
"Brother Feng has been so busy with cultivation—what brings you to visit me today!" Qian Renxue chuckled, clearly in high spirits.
The ongoing battles with the Star Luo Empire had seen both victories and defeats.
Watching the Star Luo Empire gradually adapt to her combat rhythm,
Qian Renxue felt secretly pleased.
Once the Star Luo Empire became completely complacent, it would be her chance to utilize her hidden forces, breach their defenses in one strike, and defeat the Star Luo Empire.
"Brother Xue, I've come to bid farewell.
After focusing on cultivation during this period, I'm about to break through to Soul Saint. I plan to return to Sunset Forest to prepare for absorbing my seventh Spirit Ring!" Dugu Feng truthfully informed.
Though he wasn't actually going to Sunset Forest, but to Death Canyon.
Qian Renxue was startled, feeling astonished that Dugu Feng was already approaching Soul Saint level so quickly.
She then put on an envious expression, "Brother Feng, your cultivation speed is truly astonishing.
I'll have to rely on you from now on!"
Qian Renxue affectionately patted Dugu Feng's shoulder, acting out their brotherly camaraderie.
"Don't worry, Brother Xue. Your enemies are my enemies. When I return, I'll definitely help you defeat the Star Luo Empire!" Dugu Feng declared grandly.
Qian Renxue nodded with satisfaction, though inwardly marveling at Dugu Feng's extraordinary talent.
He was practically invincible on land and in the sky among his generation.
His cultivation progress was even faster than her grandfather's in his youth.
It seemed she needed to accelerate her own cultivation pace. Currently at level 77, it wouldn't be long before she reached Soul Douluo!
Qian Renxue suddenly realized her cultivation had indeed been somewhat slow.
With innate twenty-level Soul Power, yet still not reaching Soul Douluo by thirty years old.
Compared to Dugu Feng, she felt like trash.
Then there was that prodigy Zhu Zhuyun from Star Luo Empire, younger than her but already a Soul Saint.
And Tang San from Clear Sky Sect, who had also cultivated to Soul Emperor level with beyond-limit Spirit Ring absorption, probably around level 64 now.
This generation certainly had no shortage of talents.
Qian Renxue felt somewhat distressed inside - she had wasted too much time!
This time, she must defeat Star Luo Empire in one stroke, then devote herself fully to cultivation for a period.
Regardless of Qian Renxue's thoughts, Dugu Feng departed Tongshui City directly after bidding her farewell.
He flew eastward toward Death Canyon.
Revealing his strength to Qian Renxue was unavoidable, especially since even Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Tang San had all reached Soul Emperor level.
As Heaven Dou Empire's top genius, he must be approaching Soul Saint level, making concealment unnecessary.
When he helped Qian Renxue defeat Prince Xue Xing in Heaven Dou City last time, he had already displayed Soul Emperor strength.
Now approaching Soul Saint advancement was only natural.
As his power grew, concealment became increasingly difficult.
Dugu Feng sneered inwardly - his strength beyond Soul Power was far too powerful.
Far beyond what could be measured by Soul Saint standards.
Any enemy treating him as merely a Soul Saint would pay dearly.
As these thoughts flashed through Dugu Feng's mind, his rapid flight gradually brought him closer to Death Canyon.
Approaching the area, Dugu Feng again chose to tunnel underground.
He began digging far from Death Canyon.
This time was completely different from last.
Bibi Dong was extremely vigilant - around the potential 100,000-Year Soul Beast, four Titled Douluo stood guard day and night.
Including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Besides Titled Douluo, experts at Soul Douluo, Soul Saint, and Soul Emperor levels were stationed everywhere like a tight security net.
The 100,000-Year Soul Beast cultivated with massive resources.
Bibi Dong couldn't afford any losses.
Dugu Feng was truly snatching food from the tiger's mouth this time.
After entering underground, he carefully sealed the exit.
Then he took out a triangular blue gem and infused one-tenth of his Soul Power into it.
The first ability of the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover, Vast Sea Protection, could conceal him for twelve hours using only one-tenth of his Soul Power.
This was precisely why Dugu Feng dared to make his move.
With this divine artifact, even Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and others would be unable to detect him.
Any attempts to sense him through spiritual perception would prove futile.
