Seeing Dugu Feng block his Soul Bone Skill with an inexplicable dark red energy, Dugu Bo furrowed his brow.
He had already recognized the origin of this dark red power.
That terrifying aura of slaughter must have come from Slaughter City.
In Dugu Bo's view, this was Dugu Feng's Slaughter Domain.
He was both shocked and furious—did this brat truly think having some strength meant he could challenge a Titled Douluo?
"Dugu Feng, the power of a Titled Douluo is beyond your imagination. Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"
After the initial shock, Dugu Bo's rage peaked.
His Eighth Soul Ring suddenly blazed brightly.
Dugu Bo unleashed his most powerful single-target attack skill—Time Freeze.
This Soul Skill alone consumed one-fifth of his total Soul Power—one-fifth of a Titled Douluo's energy.
Even against Yue Guan, Time Freeze could immobilize him for an instant.
Unless absolutely necessary, Dugu Bo was reluctant to use this skill with its massive Soul Power consumption.
But Dugu Feng was too monstrous—he had to restrain him at all costs.
This skill was his best option to maintain dignity while ensuring a one-hit victory.
No matter what, Dugu Feng was merely a Soul Emperor. Even with special skills and a 100,000 Year Soul Ring, how could he compare to Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Skill?
Dugu Bo could already envision it—no matter how Dugu Feng responded, he would be trapped and unable to break free.
Meanwhile, Dugu Feng wasn't waiting idly.
His Soul Duel experience far surpassed his peers; even Dugu Bo might not match his combat expertise.
The best defense was offense.
While activating his Asura Domain to resist Medusa's Gaze, Dugu Feng had already begun his counterattack.
His Sixth and Fifth Soul Rings simultaneously ignited.
The Fifth Soul Ring, obtained from the Man-faced Demon Spider, contained a skill that even shocked Dugu Feng.
Its name was Spider God's Aid.
Dugu Feng clearly understood this skill originated from the Man-faced Demon Spider's ability, Spider God Possession—a buff skill.
This was the strongest skill of a Man-faced Demon Spider over ten thousand years old, consuming one year of cultivation per second of activation.
The cost was enormous, and so was the power.
For Dugu Feng, Spider God's Aid consumed normal Soul Power instead of cultivation years.
Its effect remained amplification—doubling all of Dugu Feng's attributes simultaneously, including Soul Power, mental strength, attack power, physical strength, defense, resistance to abnormal statuses... all attributes.
Even the toxicity of the venom within him doubled.
This was a skill he obtained from absorbing a 40,000-year Man-faced Demon Spider—undeniably powerful, an all-around enhancement.
The combined effect of boosting all attributes would impact actual combat more than a simple doubling.
Dugu Feng even wondered—did the Spider God truly exist?
Could there really be such a Deity in the God Realm?
Now, Dugu Feng directly activated this Spider God's Aid, explosively unleashing his power.
Simultaneously, as his Sixth Soul Ring lit up, Dugu Feng's 100,000 Year Soul Skill was finally about to be unleashed.
Eternal Creation—ignores physical defense when attacking, reduces energy defense by 50%.
Dugu Feng crossed his hands, unleashing a massive wave of Soul Power.
The energy ripple spread outward like waves across water, fanning forward in a slicing arc.
It first collided with Dugu Bo's Time Freeze.
After a violent clash, Dugu Feng's energy wave continued its advance.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo's Time Freeze power simultaneously descended upon Dugu Feng.
Dugu Bo was initially overjoyed. When he saw Dugu Feng execute a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, he had been somewhat startled—the momentum of such a skill was truly formidable.
But ultimately, the energy wave from the hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill failed to completely neutralize his Time Freeze.
This finally put Dugu Bo at ease.
With a wave of his right hand, his Fifth Soul Skill activated, forming a dragon-shaped shield before him to block the remaining power of the hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill.
His Fifth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Heavenly Shield, was a defensive technique that concentrated toxins.
Moreover, if an enemy drew near, it could explode while defending, simultaneously attacking the opponent.
Now that Dugu Feng's hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill had already been partially neutralized, how could its residual energy possibly break through his Jade Phosphor Heavenly Shield?
Dugu Bo paid little mind to the impending attack.
But soon, his expression froze.
The water-like energy ripple passed straight through his Jade Phosphor Heavenly Shield, clinging to him like maggots to bone.
"Not good, my defense is useless?"
Startled, Dugu Bo hastily retreated.
But how fast are Soul Skills? The energy struck him squarely in an instant.
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo grunted, his body trembling violently. He swayed twice before steadying himself.
Why was the attack so powerful?
At that moment, the Soul Power within him was in chaos, and he had expended tremendous energy just to withstand the skill's assault.
He had never encountered such an overpowering Soul Skill—one that ignored physical defense, nullified fifty percent of energy defense, and could only be countered by consuming Soul Power. It was truly tyrannical.
Dugu Bo's face turned jade-green with fury as he glared hatefully at Dugu Feng. "You little brat, how does it feel to be frozen—"
He cut himself off mid-sentence, his expression stiffening.
Dugu Feng wasn't frozen—rather, it was Dugu Bo's own face that seemed paralyzed.
Dugu Feng was smiling.
The rainbow scale between his eyebrows shifted like a swimming fish, transforming into a rainbow-colored egg.
The egg landed in Dugu Feng's palm, then hovered before him.
Radiant light erupted, shattering all the energy of Dugu Bo's Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze, into scattered fragments.
"Second Grandfather, do you know what this is? Our ancestor once said that in the Poison Cultivation Lineage, with each additional Poison Attribute Soul Ring, the potency of one's internal toxins doubles.
If one can absorb five Poison Attribute Soul Rings without dying, they can form the Overlord Venom that dominates the world.
This rainbow glow, the size of an egg, is the Overlord Venom I've cultivated.
It holds unimaginable wonders. How do you find its power, Second Grandfather?"
Dugu Feng spoke teasingly, his tone unhurried.
"Overlord Venom..."
Dugu Bo felt he had heard this distant term before.
Yes—back when he left the family.
His father had urged him to switch from Serpent Cultivation to Venom Cultivation, to cultivate Overlord Venom and permanently resolve his Martial Soul Defect.
But at that time, how could he have listened?
He only thought his father was biased, that his father had gone mad!
Enraged, he left the family, and soon after, by chance, arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Here, he could suppress the toxins.
He had completely forgotten every word his father said, retaining only the instinct to survive and cultivate in obscurity here.
Now, hearing Dugu Feng mention the term "Overlord Venom,"
these distant memories resurfaced in his mind.
Dugu Bo froze entirely.
The images of his father Dugu Hai and his eldest brother Dugu Hao watching him leave the family became clearer than ever before.
