"An eight-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider already had such a terrifying presence. How powerful would a ten-thousand-year one be?"
"Are you scared, kid?"
"Scared? I'm more terrifying than it is. Grandpa, I'm excited. I wonder whether the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison or the poison condensed in my dantian is stronger."
After speaking, Dugu Feng leaped forward and instantly landed before the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's eight eyes fixed on Dugu Feng in unison.
Two sharp spider legs tore through the air like daggers, stabbing toward Dugu Feng with piercing whistles.
Dugu Feng immediately activated Martial Soul Possession. Like a toad, he slapped both palms against the ground and sprang into the air.
He instantly evaded the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack while unleashing his First Soul Skill: Toxic Toad Devouring Breath.
Pitch-black poisonous mist surged from Dugu Feng's mouth, engulfing the entire battlefield in an instant.
Toxic Toad Devouring Breath could corrode Soul Power and numb the nerves.
Unless one lacked flesh and blood, it was difficult to resist.
If it had been an ordinary eight-thousand-year soul beast, its strength would likely have been cut in half when facing this Toxic Toad Breath. However, it had encountered the equally venomous Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's enormous body charged out of the poison mist in an instant.
Like a primordial beast, it barreled toward Dugu Feng.
Dugu Feng showed no panic as he watched the Man Faced Demon Spider rush at him, for he had expected this all along.
The Thousand-Year Soul Ring beneath his feet slowly rose.
At the instant the Man Faced Demon Spider was about to pounce on him,
Dugu Feng sprang upward again like a toad, soaring several meters into the air.
Seeing Dugu Feng leap skyward, the Man Faced Demon Spider instantly spat out a web laced with neurotoxin.
Facing the web rushing toward him, Dugu Feng felt no fear whatsoever.
Empowered by his Second Soul Skill, Spiritual Snake Hidden Force had already gathered between his palms.
Combined with Toad Style, all the Soul Power in his body had now condensed into his palms.
The instant the tough spiderweb collided with Dugu Feng's palms, it was blown apart by Spiritual Snake Hidden Force.
Dugu Feng's palms struck the Man Faced Demon Spider squarely on the head.
The Soul Power throughout his body, combined with Toad Style, entered the Man Faced Demon Spider's brain in the form of Spiritual Snake Hidden Force.
The hidden force instantly churned the Man Faced Demon Spider's brain into mush.
In mere moments, the Man Faced Demon Spider's head exploded as though an overinflated balloon had burst.
A deep-purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly emerged from the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.
Dugu Feng sat cross-legged and began drawing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring into his body.
The Soul Power from an eight-thousand-year soul beast was like a raging torrent.
It rampaged wildly through Dugu Feng's meridians.
If his Toad Style had not reached the stage of mastery, he likely would not have been able to withstand the immense Soul Power of an eight-thousand-year soul beast.
The Man Faced Demon Spider was savage by nature, and the Soul Power transformed from its Soul Ring was no less violent.
Fortunately, after his cleansing and marrow washing, the amount of Soul Power his meridians could endure was already comparable to that of a Soul King.
Under Dugu Feng's forceful suppression, the Man Faced Demon Spider's violent Soul Power gradually began to be refined and absorbed into his body.
When Dugu Feng opened his eyes again, an eerie gleam flashed through his jade-green eyes.
"How many levels did your Soul Power rise? What is your Third Soul Skill?"
Dugu Bo asked eagerly.
"I reached the peak of level thirty-four. This eight-thousand-year Soul Ring really packed a punch. More importantly, my Third Soul Skill is called Devouring Poison Gas."
"It can create poisonous gas that devours Soul Power and life force. Under my Devouring Poison Gas, the power of all soul skills formed from Soul Power will be weakened."
"It's actually that powerful? Let's give it a try."
Dugu Bo said with great interest after hearing this.
A sly grin appeared on Dugu Feng's lips. The eight-thousand-year purple Soul Ring beneath his feet slowly rose.
An invisible poisonous gas seeped out from around Dugu Feng's body.
True poison had to be colorless and odorless, leaving others completely unaware. Before they knew it, their opponents would already be poisoned.
Dugu Feng's Third Soul Skill, Devouring Poison Gas, directly dissolved into the air and was difficult to detect. Only those with exceptional spiritual power could sense that something was wrong.
After standing there and breathing a few times, Dugu Bo quickly felt the Soul Power within his body becoming somewhat obstructed.
He immediately circulated his Soul Power to disperse the gas around him.
"Not bad. Even I, a Titled Douluo, have been slightly affected by your Devouring Poison Gas."
Dugu Feng opened his palm. After devouring Dugu Bo's Soul Power, the previously invisible Devouring Poison Gas began turning dark green.
The dark-green poisonous gas instantly returned to Dugu Feng's body.
"I didn't expect your soul skill to not only devour others' Soul Power, but also transfer their Soul Power into your own body."
"Unless the opponent does not use Soul Power and fights me purely with their body, as long as I can stall for time, their loss and my gain will ensure their defeat."
"The more they use Soul Power, the stronger the poisonous gas's corrosive effects become."
"Your Third Soul Skill is truly impressive. As your strength gradually rises, the power of your Devouring Poison Gas will likely rise with it."
"Grandpa, with the support of my Third Soul Skill, I can help you suppress the violent Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison in your body, increasing your chances of condensing a Poison Pill."
"Good. With the help of such an obedient grandson, if I, Dugu Bo, still cannot condense a Poison Pill, then it must be fate."
"Grandpa, I have never believed in so-called fate. I only believe that man can conquer heaven."
Dugu Feng said, his eyes blazing.
The grandfather and grandson returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo took out the solidified Poison Pill and then followed Dugu Feng's instructions.
He first consumed the Nine Grade Purple Ganoderma, then swallowed the Poison Pill and began using Soul Power and spiritual power to shatter it bit by bit.
The Poison Pill was linked to his life, making the process extraordinarily painful. A single misstep could sever his meridians, or even destroy the pill and kill him.
Therefore, he first needed the Nine Grade Purple Ganoderma to strengthen his foundation and restore his vitality.
After being consumed, the Nine Grade Purple Ganoderma could increase Soul Power and even delay aging.
It was an exceptionally rare immortal herb.
Dugu Feng began circulating his Soul Power and activated his Third Soul Skill: Devouring Poison Gas.
He sent it into Dugu Bo's body. Dugu Bo offered no resistance, allowing the Devouring Poison Gas to enter his body and devour the highly poisonous Soul Power.
This eased the pain in his meridians.
This process was also greatly beneficial to Dugu Feng.
All the highly poisonous Soul Power was drawn into his body through the Devouring Poison Gas, then transformed into pure Soul Power.
As for the poisonous portion, it was absorbed by the Pill Poison within his body.
It truly killed two birds with one stone.
Transforming a solidified Poison Pill into a Soul Core capable of continuously restoring Soul Power was no easy task.
That was right. The true Poison Pill Dugu Feng wanted to condense was a Soul Core.
This Poison Pill art had actually borrowed from the Daoist Inner Elixir, the so-called Golden Core.
The true Poison Pill Dugu Feng sought was a Soul Core that integrated the original Poison Pill art into the soul master system.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to condense one himself, so he used Dugu Bo's hand to create a complete Poison Pill.
This refinement lasted a full half year.
Only then did Dugu Bo and Dugu Feng finally transform that solidified Poison Pill into a Soul Core.
During this time, the grandfather and grandson each consumed an Immortal Herb.
Dugu Bo consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, while Dugu Feng consumed Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
The former was used to increase spiritual power.
After all, spiritual power was indispensable for condensing a Soul Core, in addition to Soul Power.
With the aid of the Ninth-Grade Lingzhi and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, one Immortal Herb and one Immortal Herb,
Dugu Bo finally condensed a Poison-Attribute Soul Core. At the same time, his strength rose two levels from level ninety-one to level ninety-three.
One had to know that after a soul master broke through to become a Titled Douluo, increasing Soul Power became exceedingly difficult. For those with poor talent,
it was even difficult for them to make any breakthrough for the rest of their lives.
