Hunting the Poison Fiend Wyvern, Part Two

A dense aura of Soul Power erupted from Dugu Feng's body.

The next moment, red and blue Soul Power representing Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice slowly emerged around Dugu Feng.

Yet in an instant, the two streams of Soul Power seemed to be drawn into a vortex, rapidly flowing back into Dugu Feng's body.

At Dugu Feng's dantian, the powers of ultimate ice and fire began to compress.

Using the powers of ice and fire as support, Dugu Feng treated his Poison Pill as a crucible.

His spiritual power was now strong enough to completely refine the original Poison Pill into a Poison-Attribute Soul Core.

This process was exceedingly long.

It took Dugu Feng a full four days.

When Dugu Feng opened his eyes, the Poison-Attribute Soul Core within his body officially began to operate.

There were no earth-shaking phenomena. Everything happened naturally, because his Poison Pill had already been the prototype of a Soul Core.

What had been lacking was soul power.

As he broke through to the Soul Saint realm, the spiritual power originating from his soul had also risen.

He planned to condense three Soul Cores, just like Huo Yuhao.

When he broke through to Soul Douluo, he decided to condense a Fire Soul Core first, then condense an Ice Soul Core after reaching Titled Douluo.

Successfully condensing a Soul Core allowed him to recover Soul Power quickly.

His Soul Power had officially reached level 75.

Moreover, it was at its peak.

He was just one step away from entering level 76.

His Soul Power had originally been level 71. After hunting the Thorn Dragon,

he absorbed its Soul Ring and raised his Soul Power by three levels, reaching level 75.

Then, during the process of transforming his Poison Pill into a Soul Core, he absorbed the surrounding Soul Power.

He successfully pushed his strength to level 75.

At his current rate, he would likely need only a few days to break through to level 76.

At the same time, Dugu Feng turned his gaze to his right hand.

The next moment, three incomparably sharp claws grew from between his fingers.

That was right—this was the External Soul Bone he had just obtained.

The skill granted by this Soul Bone was called Spatial Severing.

It was an exceedingly tyrannical spatial Soul Skill.

If someone was struck by Spatial Severing, they would truly be severed from head to body.

It directly split the physical body apart. Unless one could resist it with Soul Power—and possessed sufficiently powerful Soul Power at that—one could not withstand the power of space.

Spatial Severing was a Soul Skill that wielded the power of Spatial Law.

This Soul Skill directly disrupted space and used Spatial Law to kill its opponent.

Even as its user, he could not reverse this Soul Skill.

"With my Scorpion Tail added in, I now have two External Soul Bones. As my strength has risen, my Scorpion Tail has already come infinitely close to the Hundred Thousand Year level."

External Soul Bones could improve alongside their owner's strength. If Dugu Feng could raise these two External Soul Bones to the Hundred Thousand Year level,

he would gain four Soul Skills.

Dugu Feng then looked at the bone in his right leg.

This was a system reward, a Spirit Bone from a Toad Beast.

Its quality had now reached the Eighty Thousand Year level.

This also meant that the maximum distance of his A Leap of a Thousand Li had increased to eight thousand li.

Even if his opponent was a Titled Douluo, he could easily evade them.

Moreover, he could use it three times consecutively.

"From now on, I'll call you Spatial Claw."

Dugu Feng withdrew Spatial Claw. He decided to raise the age of his seventh Soul Ring to one hundred thousand years before searching for the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

During these years in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had already learned the Poison Fiend Wyvern's approximate range of activity.

It was near a Sulfur Volcano.

That Sulfur Volcano was filled with violent poisonous gas. To other Soul Beasts, it was a forbidden zone.

But to the Poison Fiend Wyvern, it was paradise.

What was poison to one could be honey to another.

Places that both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts avoided were cultivation holy lands to the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

To some extent, that place was also an excellent cultivation ground for Dugu Feng.

It was a Sulfur Volcano, containing both poison and fire.

His cultivation allowed him to absorb both poison and fire attributes.

The Soul Core in his body now seemed to have installed an accelerator on his cultivation.

It allowed him to absorb the Soul Power between heaven and earth more quickly.

Combined with his self-created Toad Breathing Method,

and the tremendous cultivation progress brought about by an ultimate Martial Soul breaking through level 70,

he now felt as though he had cheats activated at every moment.

Dugu Feng spent several days searching the mixed zone for a few ownerless Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. He absorbed their Soul Rings to increase their

Soul Ring ages.

The first and second Soul Rings had very limited increases, only five thousand years.

They rose to fifty-five thousand years and seventy-five thousand years respectively.

The third Soul Ring likewise increased by five thousand years, reaching ninety-five thousand years.

However, his fourth Soul Ring successfully broke through to one hundred thousand years.

Dugu Feng guessed that this was no longer related to his body, but rather to the Soul Rings themselves.

Although his first three Soul Rings ultimately could not transform into Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, Dugu Feng was already quite satisfied. After all, his current Soul Ring configuration

would be among the absolute best even in Douluo III or Douluo IV.

Aside from those who possessed Twin Martial Souls,

it was basically rare for both the first and second Soul Rings to begin at the Ten Thousand Year level.

His current Soul Ring configuration was three black and four red.

This was also where his confidence in killing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast came from.

After preparing everything, Dugu Feng arrived at the foot of Sulfur Mountain.

Before he even approached the Sulfur Volcano, he smelled a strong sulfur stench, within which a deadly poison was concealed.

Along the way, Dugu Feng saw some white bones, but he found no intact corpses.

This meant that no Soul Beasts had dared approach this area for a very long time.

However, the exposed bones also proved that this Sulfur Volcano had likely only begun releasing its deadly poison within the past decade or so.

Before that, it should have been dormant, with its toxicity not yet strong.

Thus, Soul Beasts had still moved around the area, until the toxicity completely erupted and the Soul Beasts that failed to escape died here.

At this moment, not a single Soul Beast dared set foot within more than ten li of the Sulfur Volcano.

Still, that was normal. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast lived here, and everything within those dozen or so li was its territory.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern liked leaving its mark within its territory.

And the marks it left behind were all filled with deadly poison.

Once an intruder entered, they would be killed by the poison it had left behind.

Unfortunately, its poison was completely useless against Dugu Feng.

"This sulfur stench is pretty potent, and the poison is strong too. It truly is an excellent cultivation treasure ground."

As Dugu Feng spoke, he sprang into the air.

Within the time it took to drink a few cups of tea, he leaped from the foot of the mountain to its midpoint.

Just as he prepared to continue toward the summit, a black shadow that blotted out the sky swept over the mountaintop.

Dugu Feng hurriedly concealed himself.

The one returning was the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

Dugu Feng activated the Soul Skill Nether Stealth and quickly arrived at the summit, where he saw that at the very center of the mountaintop

was roiling magma.

Dugu Feng looked at the surging yellow magma below.

Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped straight down.
