When Chu Feng absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, that would be her best chance to strike.
He would be at his most vulnerable then.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo might get in her way if she made her move.
But they were no threat to her.
Besides, they were out in the open while she remained hidden. The advantage was hers!
Bibi Dong gathered her thoughts.
Her gaze returned to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring slowly rising from the waters of the Lake of Life.
What a shame to lose this Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. She had originally prepared it for her Second Martial Soul.
If she had known Chu Feng would become such a threat today, she should have acted sooner and dealt with him as soon as he first showed his talent.
But one mistake had led to another, and now it was too late.
All she could do now was set things right and restore everything to its proper course.
Although the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring was gone, the Spirit Bone would still be hers in the end.
Chu Feng also had several Spirit Bones. They could serve as compensation for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring she had lost.
Besides, there were two Level 95 Titled Douluo and one Level 90 Titled Douluo. If she used her Second Martial Soul to devour all their Soul Power, how much stronger would she become?
Chu Feng had no idea that a hidden viper had already set its sights on him.
Bibi Dong planned to strike while he absorbed the Spirit Ring.
Chu Feng was completely unaware that danger was about to descend and disaster was at hand.
Chu Feng stared toward the center of the Lake of Life, looking through its waters and down to the lakebed.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's pure energy compressed inward, gathering within its body until it formed a red Spirit Ring and a completely azure Right Arm Soul Bone.
The Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone slowly floated out of the Sky Azure Bull Python's body and rose toward the surface. They emerged from the Lake of Life, and the enormous Spirit Ring gleamed above it.
When the Sky Azure Bull Python's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone emerged, a wisp of Life energy from the Gold of Life at the bottom of the lake had clung to them.
Chu Feng reached out and took the Sky Azure Bull Python's Right Arm Soul Bone.
Then he looked at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring slowly spinning above the lake.
At some point, the Spirit Ring had grown enormously. It floated above the lake, spanning the entire Lake of Life.
A brilliant crimson light shone from the ring, turning the waters below red.
The Spirit Ring rotated slowly, and a faint trace of dragon might seep from it.
That dragon might came from the wisp of Azure Dragon Bloodline within the Sky Azure Bull Python. When a Spirit Master equipped the Spirit Ring, there was a chance they could obtain that trace of Azure Dragon Bloodline.
"This is the Spirit Ring left behind by the Forest Emperor. The energy it contains is truly powerful.
"It feels far beyond the standard of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast!"
A Million-Year Spirit Ring might not even be this powerful, right?
Chrysanthemum Douluo gazed at the Spirit Ring and sighed in amazement. He had seen plenty of Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings.
But this was the first time in his life he had ever seen one like this.
The Spirit Ring before them was astonishingly huge, filling the entire space above the Lake of Life.
Ghost Douluo beside him looked up in equal astonishment, his eyes fixed on the Spirit Ring.
This was the largest Spirit Ring he had ever seen.
Without exception!
Weren't Spirit Rings supposed to be a fixed size? Why was this one so huge?
Ghost Douluo couldn't make sense of it.
But then he remembered that this was the Spirit Ring left behind by the Forest Emperor. The Sky Azure Bull Python was the Spirit Beast Emperor of the Star Dou Forest, blessed by the fortune of the Soul Beast Clan and possessing the Azure Dragon Bloodline of the Dragon Clan.
So it was only natural for its Spirit Ring to be larger.
But how was Chu Feng supposed to absorb something this huge? How could he compress it to the size of a normal Spirit Ring?
Compared to the Spirit Ring, Chu Feng looked so small, like an ant standing before an elephant.
"Chu Feng, this Spirit Ring is unusual. It contains a vast amount of Life energy, as well as a faint trace of dragon might."
"Normal Spirit Rings don't have either of those," Chrysanthemum Douluo added after Ghost Douluo. "And this Spirit Ring's size is far beyond the normal range!"
After Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed it out, Chu Feng also realized just how astonishingly large the Sky Azure Bull Python's Spirit Ring was.
The aura it gave off was strange.
Spirit Rings formed when a Spirit Beast died and its source energy transformed under the laws of the world.
In theory, it shouldn't contain something as unmistakable as dragon might.
Could this strange Spirit Ring be...
Chu Feng suddenly thought of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
In the original story, after Tang San hunted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, it had left behind a contingency, preserving its soul within its Spirit Ring.
Later, during Tang San's godhood trials, it used that contingency to try to possess him and take his place as the new Sea God.
Could the Sky Azure Bull Python be planning the same thing?
But the thought had barely formed before Chu Feng dismissed it.
There was absolutely no way.
Setting aside whether the Sky Azure Bull Python even had such an ability, if it did, why had it offered itself as a sacrifice to Tang San in the original story?
It could have let Bibi Dong hunt it, hidden its soul in the Spirit Ring, and waited for a chance to possess her after she absorbed it. Wouldn't that have been better?
Moreover, the shot Chu Feng had fired hadn't only struck the Sky Azure Bull Python's body. It had also attacked its soul.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's death had truly been the simultaneous destruction of its body's vitality and its soul.
Otherwise, why would the mighty ruler of the forest have died so easily?
Chu Feng thought it over, then looked down into the Lake of Life.
Perhaps this had happened because of the Gold of Life below!
The Gold of Life was a miraculous substance, containing an immense amount of Life energy.
The Life energy in this Spirit Ring must have come from the Gold of Life.
As for the dragon might within it, that was probably also due to the Gold of Life, which had refined the Sky Azure Bull Python's Azure Dragon Bloodline into the Spirit Ring.
As for why the Spirit Ring was so huge, Chu Feng came to the same conclusion: it was also the influence of the Gold of Life.
The Gold of Life's energy must have amplified the Spirit Ring, storing more of the Sky Azure Bull Python's source energy inside it.
With that thought, Chu Feng felt completely at ease absorbing the Spirit Ring.
The Spirit Ring contained a great deal of Life energy, which was also a good thing for him.
With that Life energy protecting him, the danger of absorbing the Spirit Ring would drop dramatically.
He might even gain a ninth Spirit Skill with an attribute of endless regeneration.
"I'm going to absorb the Spirit Ring. Please guard me, Elders!"
After asking Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to protect him, Chu Feng crossed his legs, sat down, closed his eyes, and began absorbing the Spirit Ring.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Chu Feng entered a state of selflessness.
Then a black spear appeared behind him.
"Ke ke ke!"
But just as Chu Feng entered this state of "selflessness," a murderous aura suddenly filled the air, and a terrifying killing intent locked onto him.
A ghostly figure appeared out of nowhere and swiftly closed in on Chu Feng.
