Dugu Yao's Soul Rings

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
First Soul Ring — Million-Year 3, 6 A golden God-Bestowed Soul Ring granted by Xiangliu's remnant will. Its sole passive Soul Skill increases the potency of poison-attributed attacks released through Dugu Yao's hands by one hundredfold.
Second Soul Ring — 9,600 years 28 Absorbed from a Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake; granted Fire Poison Blazing Flame Array and raised Dugu Yao from level 20 to level 28.
Second Soul Ring — Ten-Thousand-Year 40 Xiangliu's Devouring Evolution raised the ring beyond ten thousand years. Fire Poison Blazing Flame Array expanded from orange flames over a 100-meter radius to blue-white flames over a 200-meter radius.
Third Soul Ring — 19,000 years 50 Absorbed from the Jade Mist Azure Gang Serpent after taking a Supreme Soul Protecting Pill; granted Hurricane Fierce Poison Formation and raised Dugu Yao to level 37.
Fourth Soul Ring — 31,000 years 67 Dugu Yao began absorbing an Abyssal Poison Water Snake's Soul Ring after taking a Supreme Soul Protecting Pill.
Fifth Soul Ring — 40,000 years 84, 85 Absorbed from a Profound Frost Dark Ice Snake; granted Extreme Cold Storm and raised Dugu Yao from level 50 to level 54.
Sixth Soul Ring — 50,000 years 112, 113 Absorbed from a Black Abyss Scale Snake; granted Dark Corrosion. The absorption raised Dugu Yao's Soul Power by two levels.
Seventh Soul Ring — approximately 74,000 years 211, 215 Dugu Yao's tested absorption limit was 75,000 years. He began absorbing a Soul Ring around 74,000 years old under the protection of a Supreme Soul Protecting Pill.

Acquisition and Absorption

Soul Rings condense above a Spirit Beast's corpse after its death. A Soul Master draws the ring onto their body with Soul Power and absorbs it to obtain a Soul Skill. Dugu Yan, for example, killed a 3,000-year Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake before absorbing its ring and gaining Three-Phase Netherflame Breath 28.

Absorbing a ring beyond one's physical limit can damage a Soul Master's foundation or cause death. Dugu Yao endured a tearing sensation while absorbing his 9,600-year Second Soul Ring, though his enhanced body allowed him to complete the process 8 28.

Age Limits

A Soul Ring's usable age depends on the absorber's physique and spiritual endurance.

  • Physical strengthening — Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue greatly increased Dugu Yao's physique, allowing him to withstand a Soul Ring close to ten thousand years old; Dugu Yan's first-ring limit rose to roughly 3,000 years 25.
  • Soul impact — Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings inflict a spiritual impact during absorption. The Seventh-grade Supreme Soul Protecting Pill can negate that impact, enabling Dugu Yao to safely absorb rings far above ordinary limits 42 50.
  • Measured limits — Dugu Yao's body was assessed as capable of handling a roughly 30,000-year Fourth Soul Ring, while his later Seventh Soul Ring limit reached 75,000 years 62 211.

Non-Beast Ring Creation

The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda can allow Soul Masters to condense Soul Rings without hunting Spirit Beasts, though its current upper limit is approximately 30,000 years. Its maximum ring age increases by one year annually and cannot be accelerated 209.

Ring Age Enhancement

Dugu Yao's Xiangliu Martial Soul possesses Devouring Evolution, which can raise the age of Soul Rings it already possesses by consuming spirit herbs, medicinal herbs, poisonous plants, toxins, and Spirit Beast flesh and blood 4 30.

  • After absorbing a Soul Ring, Xiangliu can devour the originating Spirit Beast's corpse, gain its attribute, and awaken a corresponding new head 26 29.
  • Ten ordinary poisonous herbs increased Dugu Yao's 9,600-year Second Soul Ring by one year; ordinary poisonous herbs become ineffective once a ring reaches ten thousand years 30.
  • As ring ages rise, Xiangliu requires materials with greater energy. Top-grade Spirit Grass continued to produce small age increases for Dugu Yao's rings, while ordinary spirit grass eventually lost its effect 110 205.
  • By the time Dugu Yao possessed six rings, his configuration consisted of one golden Million-Year ring and five black Ten-Thousand-Year rings whose ages continued to increase through Xiangliu's feeding 191.
