Crimson Firmament Protects Its Master

After the poison was neutralized, the paralysis throughout his body gradually eased somewhat.

During this time, Wang Jingyu enjoyed resting on Bibi Dong's lap while pondering many questions.

Just then, Bibi Dong suddenly cried out in alarm and hurriedly pushed his head off her thighs.

Wang Jingyu opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Bibi Dong, only to find her face flushed, cheeks puffed out, glaring angrily at him.

What was wrong with this girl? Hadn't she been perfectly fine just now?

Why was she looking at him like he was her sworn enemy?

"Dong'er? What's wrong?" Wang Jingyu asked tentatively, utterly bewildered.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong merely snorted coldly, then turned her back on him and refused to pay him any attention.

She was furious. If not for the Diary Instance, she would not even have known she had been played.

His mind had clearly been perfectly lucid, yet he had deliberately ignored her and waited for her to feed him bile.

And after all that, he made it sound as though she had taken advantage of him.

Damn it! In all her life, she had never met anyone so shameless and brazen!

She regretted it. She should not have bothered with him back then and should have just watched him die! Hmph!

Seeing that she was unwilling to pay attention to him and unable to figure out why, Wang Jingyu did not dwell on it.

He turned his gaze toward the corpse of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python, which had been dead for nearly half an hour, and a wild idea quickly filled his mind.

He wanted to try and see whether he could turn it into his fourth Soul Ring.

In the peril-filled world of Douluo Continent, he had to rapidly increase his strength.

Although the system had stated that his chance of successfully absorbing this Soul Ring was ten percent, Wang Jingyu felt he had to take a gamble.

Perhaps that ten percent applied to others. For him, the odds could not possibly be that low, because he had the system!

He did not believe that the system would stand by and do nothing when he was facing a crisis.

That thought magnified his gambling mindset without limit: take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle; take a bigger chance and turn that motorcycle into a Land Rover.

Just as he would never have imagined that he could kill this nineteen-thousand-year Soul Beast, yet he had succeeded now!

No matter what, he could not give up this nineteen-thousand-year Soul Ring before him, and not merely because of the ring itself.

More importantly, this Soul Ring would greatly increase his strength.

The age limit of the Soul Rings he could withstand would also rise considerably because of it, and his first Soul Ring would grow to the nineteen-thousand-year level along with his tolerance.

What that meant went without saying.

Four Soul Rings, two purple and two black—such power was absolutely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

At that thought, Wang Jingyu's gaze grew increasingly frenzied as he forced his tottering body upright.

He staggered toward the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

Bibi Dong thought he wanted to come apologize to her. She gave a cold snort and said indignantly.

"Hmph, you big liar! You dared trick me. Begging for mercy won't help you!"

Yet after waiting for quite some time, she did not see Wang Jingyu come over to comfort her.

She turned her head back in confusion, only to see Wang Jingyu standing before the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

Bibi Dong seemed to understand something, and her expression instantly changed. She hurriedly ran in front of him and blocked his path.

"Jingyu, this Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python is a Soul Beast with nearly twenty thousand years of cultivation.

No matter how gifted you are or how strong your body is, you cannot possibly withstand it."

Bibi Dong anxiously shouted at Wang Jingyu.

She was unwilling to watch him, whom she had just saved from death, end up dying because of such a crazy act.

Wang Jingyu smiled gently at her and tried to push her away from in front of him.

"Dong'er, don't stop me. This Soul Ring is only nineteen thousand years old. Don't worry, I will definitely absorb it successfully.

Don't forget, my first Soul Ring was already a thousand-year Soul Ring. I can't be judged by common sense."

Wang Jingyu wanted to go all out and lay a powerful foundation for the future!

But Bibi Dong did not think it would be easy. If he failed to absorb it, it would cost him his life.

Therefore, no matter what, she would not move aside. She absolutely would not allow Wang Jingyu to do something so foolish.

Whether out of personal feelings or for other reasons.

"Jingyu, give it up. No matter what, I won't let you successfully absorb this Soul Ring!"

After only a moment of being forceful, she began pleading in a humble voice.

"Jingyu, can we give up? Once you recover a little, let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest first.

In a few days, when your injuries have healed, Dong'er will accompany you here to hunt Soul Beasts again..."

Seeing her pleading appearance, Wang Jingyu understood that she truly would not let him have his way. He could only sigh.

His Three Tomoe Sharingan appeared once more, and his eyes met Bibi Dong's.

Bibi Dong also realized Wang Jingyu's intention. She hurriedly shut her eyes on instinct, wanting to avoid his ocular technique.

But it was too late. The Illusion Technique had already taken effect, and a drowsy feeling arose within her. Just before she fell asleep, she pleaded tearfully.

"Jingyu, please, give up..."

Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed headfirst into Wang Jingyu's arms.

He gently laid Bibi Dong on the ground, sat cross-legged, silently closed his eyes, and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

A black Soul Ring rose from the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's body and hovered above Wang Jingyu's head.

Wang Jingyu immediately felt a vicious python appear in his mind.

As the vicious python roared, terrifying spiritual power surged toward Wang Jingyu like an ocean.

At that moment, Wang Jingyu was like a lone skiff upon the sea, in danger of capsizing at any time amid such vast waters.

Wang Jingyu had already lacked the strength to absorb the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python's Soul Ring, and now he was nearly spent, his Soul Power weakened to the extreme.

He could barely even maintain the Three Tomoe Sharingan state.

Thus, he had no way to use the Sharingan's power within his mind to suppress the remnant soul of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

Wang Jingyu felt that the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python could overwhelm him at any moment and finish him off.

However, his will to live and become even stronger grew exceptionally firm.

It kept him, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, from being extinguished even amid such violent storms.

Seemingly sensing Wang Jingyu's unyielding spirit, the remnant soul of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python hissed and slithered toward him, intending to devour his soul outright.

Once it devoured Wang Jingyu's soul, his absorption would inevitably fail, and he might even become an idiot.

Just as the remnant soul of the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python was about to devour Wang Jingyu, his martial soul, the Crimson Firmament Sword, appeared before him.

The Crimson Firmament Sword's ability to automatically protect its master was activated by Wang Jingyu's unyielding mental state.

It stood majestically between Wang Jingyu and the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python.

Like an impassable heavenly chasm, it prevented the Nine Venomous Yin Phosphorus Python from drawing near!
