A pitch-black Spirit Ring slowly rose from the Emerald Poison Dragon's body.
Seeing the Spirit Ring, Feng Xiaoyuan spoke seriously.
"Yanyan."
"Are you really planning to absorb this Spirit Ring?"
Dugu Yan took a deep breath, then said firmly.
"Yes."
"I have to give it a try."
"If I don't even dare to try, how will I ever stand at the pinnacle of the continent?"
As her teammate, Feng Xiaoyuan naturally chose to trust her unconditionally.
"Alright."
"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you otherwise."
"If anything goes wrong, I'll have my father promptly sever the connection between you and the Spirit Ring."
Dugu Yan nodded.
"Alright."
Feng Xiaoyuan continued.
"Still, I need to remind you of something."
"A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring is far beyond anything a Thousand Year Spirit Ring can compare to."
"The most crucial point is that Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts produce a spiritual shock after death."
Everyone's expressions gradually turned puzzled upon hearing this.
Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Spiritual shock? What's that?"
Feng Xiaoyuan continued.
"Simply put, a spiritual shock is an impact produced by the resentment of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast after its death."
"Although this Emerald Poison Dragon had only just broken through to the ten-thousand-year level."
"Its resentment was far deeper than that of an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast."
"It had just reached the ten-thousand-year level and hadn't even had the chance to enjoy it before we killed it."
"In the end, all its unwillingness remained within the Spirit Ring."
After Feng Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Dugu Yan said nothing.
She merely walked toward the Emerald Poison Dragon's corpse with a resolute gaze.
Sitting cross-legged, she began drawing in the Spirit Ring.
The pitch-black Spirit Ring slowly descended.
The next moment, an incomparably violent surge of Soul Power rushed into her body.
Dugu Yan's body jolted, and sweat instantly covered her forehead.
At the same time, tremendous changes took place within her spiritual world.
Within Dugu Yan's dark green spiritual world.
A pair of jade-green dragon eyes slowly opened.
"Roar!"
The Emerald Poison Dragon let out an extremely resentful dragon roar.
Its enormous body lunged madly toward Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth as the Jade Phosphorus Dragon martial soul slowly emerged behind her.
The two giant dragons collided in an instant.
Her spiritual world shook violently.
At the same time, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth in the outside world.
"Yanyan!"
Huo Wu could not help crying out.
Ye Lingling immediately released her martial soul, and the Nine Heart Begonia instantly bloomed.
Gentle life energy continuously flowed into Dugu Yan's body.
Helping her stabilize herself.
Within her spiritual world.
The Emerald Poison Dragon roared without cease, striking at Dugu Yan's will again and again.
The Jade Phosphorus Dragon roared continuously as well.
The two sides collided madly.
Time passed bit by bit, and Dugu Yan's face grew increasingly pale.
Yet the determination in her eyes never wavered.
Finally, with the last collision.
The Jade Phosphorus Dragon suddenly opened its jaws and swallowed the Emerald Poison Dragon's resentful remnant soul whole.
The entire spiritual world returned to calm.
The pitch-black Spirit Ring outside also completely merged into Dugu Yan's body.
Four Spirit Rings slowly emerged.
Yellow.
Yellow.
Purple.
Black.
With the Soul Power from the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, along with the residual effects of the Immortal Herbs and Whale Rubber.
Dugu Yan broke through to level forty-three Soul Ancestor in one go.
Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.
Feeling the surging power within her body, a smile appeared on her face.
"I succeeded."
"My ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring."
She slowly stood up, just about to show everyone her fourth soul skill.
The next instant, Feng Yan appeared before everyone.
Suddenly, the entire forest began to shake violently.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
The earth trembled without end, and countless trees swayed wildly.
In the distance, large numbers of Soul Beasts fled toward the edge of the forest as if mad.
The entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have descended into turmoil.
Everyone's expressions changed at once.
"What happened?"
Feng Yan's expression also became incomparably grave.
This was the first time everyone had seen Feng Yan display such a serious expression.
"Everyone."
"We need to leave this place immediately."
As soon as he spoke, Feng Yan's vast wind-attribute Soul Power erupted instantly.
Lifting all nine of them directly into the air.
They flew toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Feng Xiaoyuan immediately asked.
"Father."
"What happened?"
Feng Yan turned to look toward the depths of the forest and said in a low voice.
"The dying scream of the Emerald Poison Dragon just now."
"Combined with the Soul Power fluctuations you released earlier."
"Have alerted the true king of this forest."
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"The Titan Giant Ape."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an existence standing at the very pinnacle of Soul Beasts.
Feng Yan accelerated once more, instantly turning into a streak of cyan light.
He sped toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing those little bugs fleeing.
The Titan Giant Ape's enormous, suffocating figure slowly rose to its feet.
It continuously slammed its fists against the ground.
Rumble.
Rumble.
Rumble.
The surrounding earth instantly split apart, while the nearby trees turned into ash that filled the sky.
Terrifying pressure swept toward them.
Even from such a distance, it still made everyone shiver all over.
No one dared to look back.
Only after they had completely left the Star Dou Great Forest's range.
Did Feng Yan finally set everyone down.
Only then did everyone dare to let out long breaths of relief.
Huo Wu collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath.
"That..."
"That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Huo Wushuang gave a bitter smile.
"Just feeling its aura."
"I didn't even have the courage to make a move."
Feng Xiaoyuan also gently exhaled.
"Good thing you came with us this time, Father."
"Otherwise, we really would have died here today."
After everyone rested for a moment, Feng Yan slowly spoke.
"Alright."
"Xiaoyuan."
"Take out the Soul Guidance Airship. We need to head to the next location."
Feng Xiaoyuan nodded and took the Soul Guidance Airship out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.
He then infused it with Soul Power.
A silver-white flash passed, and a massive Soul Guidance Airship appeared in midair.
"Alright."
"Everyone, get on board."
As soon as he spoke, everyone leaped onto the airship.
After everyone had boarded, Feng Xiaoyuan walked to the control console.
He slowly poured Soul Power into it.
At the same time, he set the destination.
Thunder Gorge.
The next moment, the Thrusters at the stern sprayed out dazzling flames.
The entire airship instantly transformed into a streak of white light.
It flew toward Thunder Gorge.
Feng Xiaoyuan returned to the main hall.
Looking at Dugu Yan, he said with a smile.
"Yanyan."
"What is your fourth soul skill?"
"Let us see it."
The others also chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah."
"We've never seen a ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring before."
"Will it be different from other ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings?"
Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Dugu Yan slowly said.
"My fourth soul skill."
"Is called..."
"Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon Roar."
