A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring—truly worthy of its name. Even though Lin Feng had long prepared and deliberately worked to strengthen his body, as the vast power of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was drawn in, his skin still inevitably began to flush red.
That was an unnatural redness caused by the immense pressure of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring accelerating his blood flow and rupturing some capillaries.
At this moment, Lin Feng somewhat understood why Zhang Lexuan had needed to recuperate after absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring back then.
Lin Feng had come prepared, so only a few capillaries burst—negligible for a soul master. For someone unprepared, merely protecting the main meridians would have been a struggle.
Zhang Lexuan's accident happened before Ma Xiaotao and the others, yet over five years later, her Soul Power had only reached a pitiful level eighty-six. Even accounting for the fusion of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, which only brought her to level eighty-one—unlike Tang San, who reached level eighty-three from the same—gaining only five levels in over five years showed the severe aftereffects of Zhang Lexuan's unprepared absorption.
"Don't struggle. Do you think I'd have no preparation for absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? This kind of power can't break through my body." The slight pain didn't bother Lin Feng at all; instead, it only fueled his excitement.
"Damn bastard! Big Sis Xiao Wu will fight you to the death!"
Within Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, Xiao Wu had lost her human form and reverted to her original beast shape—a massive rabbit—as she roared.
Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts possessed Soul Tremors, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Tremor could force a soul-level confrontation between the beast and the soul master in its true form.
At this moment, Lin Feng wasn't facing the two-ring Xiao Wu, but a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit attacking with her very soul as the source.
"What, is that all you've got? Your Soul Tremor isn't impressive. Are you really a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Lin Feng taunted Xiao Wu within his own Sea of Consciousness, trying to provoke her into recklessly attacking with her Soul Tremor.
For an ordinary soul master—even a Spirit Douluo—facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Tremor would be fatal. But Lin Feng's Martial Soul was Soul itself!
And the Soul Tremor was happening inside his own Sea of Consciousness.
With a Soul Martial Soul and home-field advantage, Xiao Wu pouring all her soul power into the Soul Tremor was actually the safest scenario for Lin Feng, whose Martial Soul was his own soul.
Once Xiao Wu's soul power was exhausted, the remaining vast, ownerless energy of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring could be guided into his body by Lin Feng's soul power and absorbed bit by bit.
And Xiao Wu, true to her hundred-thousand-year existence, didn't notice Lin Feng's deliberate provocation. She silently continued using the Soul Tremor common to all Ten-Thousand-Year and above Soul Beasts, trying to shatter Lin Feng's soul.
But this tremor only drained her own soul faster, having no effect on someone like Lin Feng, whose soul power had already reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm.
"Damn bastard!"
Xiao Wu gathered the last remnants of her consciousness, sensing her imminent dissolution as she prepared for a final, all-out strike. Lin Feng, in turn, focused his mind, ready to counter that last wave of attack.
Soon, in the gap before her soul completely dissipated, Xiao Wu unleashed her final assault.
Feeling the surging spiritual energy and Soul Power in the last burst of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, the Soul Bone in Lin Feng's left leg lit up—Xiao Wu's strongest defensive Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!
"How can this be!"
Xiao Wu never imagined that her strongest defensive Soul Skill would become the trump card used against her own Soul Ring's impact.
Unwilling to accept it, she tried to gather the Soul Ring's power for a counterattack. But as her energy entered its final countdown, Lin Feng stopped holding back. He unleashed Invincible Golden Body repeatedly—Invincible Golden Body! Invincible Golden Body! Invincible Golden Body!
In Xiao Wu's final eruption, the energy that tried to burst Lin Feng's body was completely blocked by her own Invincible Golden Body. In the end, Xiao Wu's consciousness dissipated in resentment, her Soul Tremor unable to fatally affect Lin Feng.
And without Lovesick Heartbreak Red to protect its master, Xiao Wu, like any ordinary slain Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, had no chance of resurrection.
With Xiao Wu's soul completely gone, the vast energy of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring finally became ownerless, free for Lin Feng to absorb and refine.
The energy was immense—enough to threaten the life of an ordinary Spirit Douluo. But for someone who had used Exploding Ring and whose cultivation and physique had already reached the Spirit Douluo level, it was bearable.
Guiding the massive energy into his body bit by bit, after a full day and night of absorption and refinement, six soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, red—pulsed around Lin Feng, marking his cultivation as officially reaching the six-ring Soul Emperor level.
"Hah..."
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Opening his eyes again, Lin Feng found his clothes covered in filth and blood scabs.
Those were the impurities expelled from his body during the marrow-cleansing process after successfully fusing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
After a quick wash, Lin Feng changed into a new robe and took out a crystal ball. As he channeled his Soul Power into it, the number sixty-seven appeared, indicating his cultivation had reached level sixty-seven.
"Not bad. As expected."
In the original Dou Yi story, when Tang San first broke through to level sixty, Xiao Wu's Soul Ring and Soul Bone pushed his cultivation straight to level sixty-six, and soon after to sixty-seven.
Lin Feng had already waited at level sixty for some time, so jumping straight to sixty-seven was within expectations.
"Soul."
After testing his normal Soul Power, Lin Feng summoned his Two-Character Battle Armor again. As it materialized, he once more channeled his Soul Power into the crystal ball. The number changed from sixty-seven to eighty-five, proving that with his Two-Character Battle Armor, Lin Feng now possessed level eighty-five strength.
Of course, with four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skills and other abilities, Lin Feng's actual combat power far exceeded that of an ordinary Spirit Douluo. He could already contend with some Titled Douluo in his normal state, and in a full-power burst, even a Super Douluo would have to avoid his edge.
After briefly testing his Battle Armor, Lin Feng examined the Soul Skills brought by Xiao Wu's Soul Ring.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skills: one is Void, and the other is..."
