The Sixth Soul Skill: White Tiger God-Slaying Kill!
Dai Fei sat cross-legged beside the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse. The sixty-thousand-year-old black Soul Ring slowly rose from it, hovering in midair and radiating dense dark energy and intense resentment.
Countless pairs of scarlet eyes seemed to be watching Dai Fei from within the Soul Ring. They were the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's savagery and unwillingness to accept its fate in life.
"Sixty thousand years. Come on!"
Dai Fei took a deep breath, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes.
He circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art, and golden light blazed from his entire body. An illusory image of the Sacred Beast White Tiger appeared behind him, radiating a majestic presence.
His Soul Power drew the black Soul Ring slowly toward him.
The instant the Soul Ring touched Dai Fei's body, a torrent of violent energy flooded into him.
The energy of a sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring was immense. Dark energy enveloped Dai Fei's body in an instant, as though he had been cast into an endless dark abyss.
The energy battered his meridians until they nearly split apart. The intense pain drew a muffled groan from him.
"A mere sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring from the sewers of fantasy dares act so wildly before me!"
Dai Fei gritted his teeth and growled, circulating the Geng Metal Sacred Art with all his might.
Golden Soul Power flowed through his body, clashing fiercely with the dark energy.
Golden lines appeared across the surface of his body, forming something like armor to resist the Soul Ring energy's corrosion.
Yet the Soul Ring's trial had only just begun.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's resentment took the form of a huge illusory figure in Dai Fei's spiritual world.
It was a giant tiger wreathed in dark energy, its eyes flashing with bloodthirsty red light as it roared and pounced at Dai Fei.
"Human, how dare you covet my power! I'll tear your soul apart!" The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's resentment roared in Dai Fei's spiritual world, its voice as deafening as thunder.
Dai Fei sneered, utterly unafraid.
In his spiritual world, an illusory image of the Sacred Beast White Tiger also appeared, confronting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The Sacred Beast White Tiger raised its head and roared at the sky. Golden light dispersed the surrounding darkness, driving the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's resentment steadily back.
"You were no match for me when you were alive, and now you want to turn the tables after death? Dream on!"
"Sacred Beast White Tiger! Suppress it!!"
Dai Fei shouted, condensing his spiritual power into a sharp golden blade that stabbed straight at the core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's resentment.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's resentment let out a piercing scream. Its body gradually crumbled into countless motes of black light, which vanished from Dai Fei's spiritual world.
Just as Dai Fei thought everything was about to end, the energy within the Soul Ring erupted again.
This time, the energy was even more violent, as if it meant to tear his body to pieces.
Beads of blood began to seep from the surface of Dai Fei's skin, and his meridians continued to rupture under the energy's assault.
"This can't go on!"
Dai Fei gritted his teeth and growled, activating the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings Torso Divine Bone within him with all his might.
The power of the Divine Bone Skill, "Ice and Fire Dragon Kings God-Slaying Kill," erupted within him. The energies of ice and fire intertwined, forming a powerful barrier that temporarily suppressed the Soul Ring's violent energy.
"Suppress it!"
Dai Fei roared. Illusory images of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings appeared behind him, joining the illusory Sacred Beast White Tiger in suppressing the Soul Ring's energy.
The power of ice and fire steadily wore down the dark energy, finally bringing it completely to heel.
As the last trace of dark energy was refined, Dai Fei's body gradually returned to a calm state.
His meridians grew tougher as the Geng Metal Sacred Art repaired them, and his Soul Power rose rapidly, nourished by the Soul Ring.
The sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring had fully merged with his Martial Soul, becoming part of his power.
Dai Fei slowly opened his eyes, a glint of golden light flashing through them.
He felt the power surging within him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
The sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring had not only brought his Soul Power to rank sixty-three, but had also made his foundation more stable.
"Finally, I did it!"
Dai Fei stood and clenched his fists, feeling the powerful force within him.
His sixth Soul Skill was White Tiger God-Slaying Kill!
This Soul Skill was fucking awesome!
It combined the Sacred Beast White Tiger's ultimate killing power with the sharpness of Geng Metal's power, making it Dai Fei's strongest single-target attack Soul Skill so far.
It was powerful enough to threaten even a Titled Douluo-level expert!
With his Martial Soul Avatar, it would be even more terrifying!
As his Soul Power increased, he would even be able to kill a god with it in the future!
He knew that his gains this time went far beyond a single Soul Ring. There was also the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's inner core.
The energy contained in that inner core was enough to raise his strength another level.
"Next, I'll refine the inner core."
"But I'll deal with this thing after I get back to a safe area."
Dai Fei thought to himself.
Soul Rings had a time limit, but this Evil God Pearl Inner Core did not.
After checking, he found no Soul Bones left in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
But the corpse was a treasure too. He cut it up and put it in his storage ring.
He looked around. Thick fog still filled the swamp, but it no longer held any threat to him.
He quickly left the swamp and headed out of Sunset Forest.
He knew Dugu Bo's anger had yet to subside, and he had to leave as quickly as possible.
A disturbance that great had surely attracted Dugu Bo's attention.
Dai Fei quickly left the swamp, using White Tiger Wind Shadow Step to its fullest as he darted through the forest like the wind.
He was so fast that he nearly became an afterimage. The trees and terrain around him flew past his eyes.
However, just as he was about to leave the depths of Sunset Forest, he suddenly sensed a powerful presence in the distance.
Damn, it's Dugu Bo!
Dai Fei's heart tightened. He immediately stopped, ducked behind a large tree, and held his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.
A moment later, an ink-green figure swept through the sky. It was Dugu Bo.
His face was dark, and his gaze was sharp as lightning as he surveyed the forest below, clearly searching for something.
"Was that energy fluctuation just now caused by someone hunting Soul Beasts here?" Dugu Bo murmured, a trace of anger in his voice. "Could it be the culprit who ruined my treasure land!?"
As he spoke, a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
Dai Fei's heart tightened. He knew the energy fluctuations he had caused while absorbing the Soul Ring had attracted Dugu Bo's attention.
He dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art, completely concealing his presence until he seemed to blend in with the surrounding trees.
Dugu Bo circled in the air for a while but found no trace of Dai Fei. At last, he snorted coldly, turned, and left.
Dai Fei breathed a sigh of relief, glad he had not acted rashly.
Even though he now had a physique immune to all poisons and a sixth Soul Skill, he still did not particularly want to confront a Titled Douluo directly.
If he could avoid a fight, that was naturally best. If he truly could not, he would just have to grit his teeth and fight.
Clearly, he could avoid one now!
There was no need to take the risk.
I have to get out of here as quickly as possible!
With that thought, Dai Fei quickly ran toward the edge of the forest.
Along the way, Dai Fei carefully avoided several powerful Soul Beasts while continuing to adjust his condition.
Although absorbing the sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring had been perilous, it had also brought his strength a qualitative leap.
His sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger God-Slaying Kill, in particular, had given him another trump card.
With this Soul Skill working together with the Geng Metal Sacred Art, I won't have to worry so much, even if I face a Titled Douluo.
Dai Fei thought to himself, a trace of confidence flashing in his eyes.
However, just as he was about to leave Sunset Forest, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
Dai Fei frowned, quickly concealed his presence, and quietly approached the source of the sounds.
