Divine Inheritance

Although the magma had already cooled.

The heat contained within Rock Township had long since reached Dugu Feng.

Those orange crystalline blocks had completely turned crimson.

They contained power from the volcano.

Just as Dugu Feng was preparing to absorb them.

The volcanic crater above began to tremble.

A sharp giant claw tore through the volcanic rock layers.

Revealing a savage head.

Those crimson eyes greedily stared at the vast expanse of Volcanic Crystals below.

The dense fire-element energy stirred greed within the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

"Poison Fiend Wyvern, today is the day you die!"

Hearing the human voice, the Poison Fiend Wyvern lowered his enormous head.

He discovered that a human was standing completely unharmed amid this vast expanse of Volcanic Crystals. The heat radiating from these Volcanic Crystals had reached temperatures of over a thousand degrees.

Even he found it somewhat scorching.

Yet this human was standing here completely unharmed.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern did not dwell on it. Opening his mouth, he prepared to spew poisonous fire and burn him to death.

But the next second, he felt an even more domineering and terrifying flame appear within his body out of nowhere, colliding with the poisonous fire that had been about to form inside him.

The force generated by the collision of the two flames instantly scorched his throat.

Flames were his greatest specialty, yet at this moment, they had instead become a sharp blade stabbing back at himself.

Terrified, the Poison Fiend Wyvern hurriedly flapped his wings and shot toward the summit of the volcano.

Dugu Feng glanced at the Poison Fiend Wyvern, then at the Volcanic Crystals around him. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to absorb some of the Volcanic Crystals first.

He would raise his Soul Power to level 80, then, after dealing with the Poison Fiend Wyvern, directly absorb his soul ring and break through to the Soul Douluo realm.

At that point, he could directly complete the second divine trial.

At the same time, he understood that these so-called divine trials were entirely judged according to the deity's own will. They were not fixed sets of nine trials or six trials.

As long as one performed adequately and met the deity's requirements.

One could inherit the deity's divine position.

Before his death, Vulcan had entrusted his inheritance to the Forging Hammer and sent it to Douluo Star.

Therefore, he had not established nine trials like the Sea God and Angel God. Although Dugu Feng did not know what the later trials would entail.

He was confident that he could complete the six trials Vulcan had set.

And become the new God of Forging and Volcanoes.

Among the God of Forging and Volcanoes, the God of Forging's divine position was more powerful, because he could forge divine artifacts and was a highly sought-after deity in the Divine Realm.

To a certain extent, the Volcano God's divine position only seemed formidable because of the God of Forging. If one inherited only the Volcano God's divine position.

Then one's status in the Divine Realm would be little more than dispensable.

The Volcano God controlled the two elemental energies of fire and earth.

The God of Forging controlled laws such as metal and gravity.

As long as he inherited the divine position of the God of Forging and Volcanoes, he would be able to control the power of at least four elemental laws.

Dugu Feng absorbed the Volcanic Crystals as he pondered.

Perhaps because of the additional Volcano God divine position, his affinity had reached 10%.

His absorption speed was extremely fast, as though these Volcanic Crystals had originally been a part of him.

His strength quickly rose to level 80.

Dugu Feng opened his eyes, blazing flames burning within them.

He swept his gaze around. There were still a great many Volcanic Crystals remaining.

Even after breaking through to the Soul Douluo realm, he could continue absorbing the Volcanic Crystals here to rapidly improve himself.

Dugu Feng leaped upward. With only a few jumps, he went from the bottom of the volcano to its crater.

At this moment, the Poison Fiend Wyvern watched Dugu Feng absorb the Volcanic Crystals, his eyes filled with fury. He would never permit a human to lay hands on his treasure.

He dove straight down.

"Seeking death!"

Dugu Feng gathered strength in his legs, crouching like a toad pressed against the ground.

His tangible, condensed Soul Power gathered in his palms.

"Toad Overlapping Shadows!"

The next moment, Dugu Feng's soul rings began to merge with one another.

They all fused into his seventh soul ring!

That was right! He had transformed Toad Overlapping Shadows, which could originally have been used as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, into a self-created soul ring fusion skill.

Just like Huo Wu, he could merge the energy of his other soul rings into a single soul ring, vastly increasing that soul ring's power.

And now, he had merged the power of all six of his other soul rings into the seventh soul ring.

Greatly increasing the seventh soul ring's might!

"Seventh Soul Skill! Toad True Body!"

A gigantic toad with an enormous body and two unusual patterns on its back instantly appeared atop the volcano.

The toad's right eye was flame, while its left eye was ice.

The two patterns on its back matched the colors in its eyes: one was a blazing flame pattern, and the other an eerily cold, bone-piercing ice pattern.

Its entire body was pitch-black, surrounded by black mist.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern showed not the slightest hint of retreat at this sight. His sharp claws directly struck forward.

"Nether Stealth!"

The instant the Poison Fiend Wyvern's claws descended, Dugu Feng directly sank into the ground.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern's dragon claws smashed a deep pit into the ground, but they also became stuck in the earth at the volcanic crater.

In that fleeting instant.

Dugu Feng burst out from behind the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

His palms, which had long been gathering power in secret, struck down instantly.

They hit without deviation, smashing into the Poison Fiend Wyvern's two dragon wings.

One dragon wing froze over, while the other was directly burned to ash by ultimate flame.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern felt his wings on his back being destroyed, along with that unforgettable, bone-deep pain.

It instantly sent him into a frenzy.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern swung his tail, directly sending Dugu Feng flying.

The moment his tail sent Dugu Feng flying, the Poison Fiend Wyvern's fangs had already bitten into Dugu Feng's Martial Soul Avatar.

A massive amount of deadly poison was released!

Even Soul Douluo would not dare touch this poison lightly.

Yet the Poison Fiend Wyvern was now injecting vast quantities of it into Dugu Feng's Martial Soul Avatar. Watching the poison surge in, Dugu Feng was not afraid. Instead, he was delighted.

He circulated his Soul Core and drew the poison into his body.

After all, extracting poison from the body of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast was no easy task.

As the saying went, one should return courtesy for courtesy. He directly injected his Pill Poison into the Poison Fiend Wyvern's body as well.

Seeing that the time was about right, Dugu Feng controlled his Martial Soul Avatar and fiercely swung out a palm.

It struck the Poison Fiend Wyvern directly on the head. This powerful blow instantly caused the Poison Fiend Wyvern agonizing pain.

He immediately released his bite.

Dugu Feng did not choose to keep enduring it head-on, because maintaining his Martial Soul Avatar consumed far too much energy.

He directly used A Leap of a Thousand Li, vanishing from before the Poison Fiend Wyvern. The Poison Fiend Wyvern let out a furious roar.

Just as he prepared to turn around and return to the depths of the volcano to absorb the volcanic crystals, the Ice-Fire Poison within his body erupted completely.

Dugu Feng's Pill Poison contained the power of ultimate ice and fire.

At this moment, those two powers were colliding within the Poison Fiend Wyvern's body.

After Dugu Feng condensed his Soul Core, his Soul Power had already reached the level of a Titled Douluo.

Therefore, the poison he condensed was several times more powerful than before.
