A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Really Was Different! Smoothly Becoming a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor! A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone Found in a Cave!

With the Army-Breaking Tiger's death, a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring gradually condensed into form.

Dai Fei let out a long breath and slowly walked over to the Army-Breaking Tiger's corpse.

He sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring.

But just as he began, a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.

Dai Fei frowned. This is bad.

Sure enough, several figures soon appeared in his field of vision.

"Haha, I didn't expect someone to take care of this Army-Breaking Tiger for us!" the man at their head laughed, his eyes full of greed.

Dai Fei looked at them coldly, inwardly on guard.

They clearly intended to take advantage of him while he absorbed the Soul Ring.

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, get lost, or don't blame us for showing no mercy!" the man said arrogantly.

Dai Fei ignored them and continued concentrating on absorbing the Soul Ring.

He knew he absolutely could not be distracted now, or the consequences of a backlash from the Soul Ring would be unthinkable.

"You're courting death!" Seeing Dai Fei ignore him, the man flew into a rage and swung his blade at him.

But just as the blade was about to touch Dai Fei, a golden light suddenly erupted from his body, blasting the man away.

"What?!" The others went pale with shock.

Dai Fei slowly rose to his feet, his eyes full of coldness. He looked at them coldly and said calmly, "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."

"Geng Metal Sacred Art: White Tiger Geng Metal Roar!"

A terrifying tiger's roar swept over them all, forcibly stunning them. Their internal organs suffered grievous injuries, and blood seeped through their skin, instantly turning them into figures drenched in blood.

Dai Fei had already vanished from where he stood.

The next moment, he appeared behind a man and swept out a claw, crushing his heart.

Immediately afterward, he rushed at another, moving as fast as lightning.

In just a few breaths, Dai Fei had dealt with every last one of those who had tried to take advantage of him.

"A bunch of fools who don't know whether to live or die!"

Dai Fei sat cross-legged beside the Army-Breaking Tiger's corpse,

his gaze grave as he stared at the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring floating in the air.

The Soul Ring radiated an intense black light and faintly exuded a violent resentment, as though countless wronged souls were howling within it.

He knew absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was no easy task, especially a Soul Ring from a Soul Beast that bore such intense resentment. The slightest mistake could cause a backlash, damaging his soul at best and scattering it into oblivion at worst.

"Geng Metal Sacred Art, circulate!" Dai Fei shouted under his breath and formed a hand seal. Soul Power surged out of his body like a river.

A faint layer of golden light appeared over his body, and the phantom of a majestic white tiger could just be seen taking shape behind him.

The white tiger phantom raised its head and roared at the sky, exuding a might that suppressed heaven and earth.

As the Geng Metal Sacred Art circulated, Dai Fei's Soul Power gradually began to resonate with the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The Soul Ring slowly floated above his head, and black light poured down like a waterfall, completely enveloping his body.

The instant the Soul Ring touched Dai Fei's body, a surge of violent power erupted.

The black light sliced furiously at his skin like countless sharp blades.

Countless fine bloody cuts instantly appeared across Dai Fei's body, and blood ran down his arms and chest.

At the same time, the magic contained within the Soul Ring transformed into streams of black Qi that coiled around his body like venomous snakes, attempting to invade his meridians.

"Hmph!" Dai Fei snorted coldly and circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art at full force. Golden Soul Power formed a shield over his body, blocking the black streams of Qi.

But the Soul Ring's resentment was immensely powerful. The black streams of Qi battered the golden shield ceaselessly, hissing as though they meant to corrode it completely.

The situation inside Dai Fei's body was no more encouraging.

The power of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring poured into his meridians like a flood, furiously battering the paths through which his Soul Power circulated.

Under the impact of that violent power, his meridians showed faint signs of collapsing.

The intense pain made the veins on his forehead bulge, and cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

"Suppress it!" Dai Fei growled through clenched teeth. The Soul Power of the Geng Metal Sacred Art formed a golden barrier in his meridians, forcing the violent power back bit by bit.

Yet the Soul Ring's power was extraordinarily stubborn. With every impact, Dai Fei felt as though his internal organs were being torn apart.

Just then, the White Tiger Martial Soul inside Dai Fei suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar. Golden Soul Power surged, transforming into a massive white tiger phantom that pounced straight at the violent power.

The white tiger phantom opened its great jaws and swallowed the black power in one gulp, then began refining it bit by bit.

But the threat of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was not limited to his body and Soul Power.

Just as Dai Fei thought the situation was gradually stabilizing, a cold resentment suddenly invaded the depths of his soul.

Countless bloody images flashed through his mind: the Army-Breaking Tiger's slaughter in life, the wails of countless Soul Beasts, and the despairing screams of the Soul Masters it had devoured.

"Suppress it!" Dai Fei's soul roared, but his consciousness gradually blurred under the assault of the resentment.

Hallucinations began to appear before his eyes, as though he had found himself in a blood-red hell, surrounded by ferocious Soul Beasts and wronged souls.

Such paltry resentment dares to shake my will?

Deep within Dai Fei's soul, a golden light suddenly blazed.

It was the Martial Soul Origin he had condensed by cultivating the Geng Metal Sacred Art, representing the core of his soul.

The golden light transformed into a majestic white tiger and pounced straight at the resentment.

Within the soul world, the white tiger and the resentment fought a fierce battle to the death.

Every collision sent a piercing pain through Dai Fei's soul, but his will only grew firmer.

He knew that if he backed down here, not only would he fail to absorb the Soul Ring, but he might even be completely devoured by the resentment and reduced to a walking corpse.

"Geng Metal Sacred Art, soul suppression!" Dai Fei's soul let out a low roar. The golden white tiger's might abruptly surged, and it tore the resentment to pieces.

As the resentment dissipated, clarity returned to Dai Fei's soul world.

With the resentment completely suppressed, the power of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring finally began to merge with Dai Fei's Soul Power.

The black light was gradually assimilated by the golden Soul Power, transforming into streams of pure power that flowed into his meridians and Martial Soul.

The bloody cuts on Dai Fei's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a layer of faint black markings that exuded a powerful pressure.

Boom! When the last trace of power was absorbed, a powerful presence suddenly erupted from Dai Fei's body.

At that moment, his Soul Power Level broke through, reaching a new height.

And that Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring hovered steadily around him, becoming his fourth Soul Ring.

Dai Fei slowly opened his eyes, a trace of golden light flashing through them.

He could clearly feel that he was several times stronger than before.

The Soul Skill granted to him by the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring in particular filled him with even greater confidence.

Fourth Soul Skill!

White Tiger Army-Breaking Kill!

When the Soul Skill was activated, it condensed all the Soul Power in his body into a golden pillar of light that charged at the enemy, crushing everything in its path.

A single-target attack of tremendous power, suited to killing with a single blow.

"Excellent!"

Dai Fei let out a long breath and slowly stood up.

His Soul Power had even broken through to level forty-three!

After reaching Soul Ancestor, the quality of his Soul Power was greater than at the Soul Elder level.

Thus, the increase was not especially large, but gaining three levels in succession was already very good.

He knew that although absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had been perilous, the rewards were equally immense.

Not only had he gained a powerful Soul Skill, but his soul had also been tempered in its struggle against the resentment, becoming tougher.

Hungry, he roasted and ate the Army-Breaking Tiger's meat, but found no Soul Bone.

It seemed Soul Bones were still very rare.

But just as he was preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed a strange presence coming from nearby.

Dai Fei frowned and followed the presence, soon discovering a hidden cave.

"This is..."

Dai Fei entered the cave and found an ancient skeleton inside, with a ring flashing with a strange light beside it.

Could it be something left behind by an expert?

A thought stirred in Dai Fei's mind, and he reached out to pick up the ring.

The instant he touched it, a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.

"This is... a Soul Bone?!"

Shock flashed through Dai Fei's eyes.

He had not expected to come across a Soul Bone here!

Judging by its presence, it was at least ten thousand years old!

"It seems the rewards of this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest have far exceeded my expectations."

Dai Fei smiled faintly and put the Soul Bone away, then left the cave.
