Poseidon stared blankly at the continent for a long while, then looked up at the sky with devout reverence.
"Great Master, what should I do? He actually holds the Sea God's Heart!
Could it be that you intend for him to inherit your Godhood?"
Poseidon felt immense bitterness. Normally, if someone possessed the Sea God's Heart, it indicated they were qualified to inherit the Sea God Divine Seat.
This person already had the Asura God Inheritance and now also held the Sea God's Heart. Such unparalleled favor—no one could surpass him.
Poseidon dared not even imagine how someone could possess such overwhelmingly prosperous fortune.
Who exactly was he?
Continent.
Dugu Feng was like a golden-winged roc, with eight wings spread behind him, piercing through layers of clouds. He moved so fast that only spatial ripples could be seen in his wake.
This flight was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, completely breaking free from the shackles of the ocean.
"Poseidon, how could you possibly catch up to me? I'm using the Spider God's Wings, flying with a Divine Tool. What do you have to chase me with?"
Dugu Feng was confident that even Qiandao Liu wouldn't be able to catch up.
Leaving the ocean behind and returning to the continent, Dugu Feng felt as free as a bird soaring in the vast sky.
Having obtained the Asura Demon Sword, his future had completely changed.
But now was not the time for fusion. Dugu Feng needed to return to Heaven Dou City quickly.
The exposure of the Asura Domain proved that the Soul Master who seized the Asura Demon Sword must have once possessed the Slaughter God Domain.
Dugu Feng would inevitably become a suspect.
He planned to first return to Heaven Dou City and make an appearance, creating a time conflict to establish an alibi.
Like the wind and lightning!
Dugu Feng returned to Heaven Dou City in just one hour.
What happened next was simple—shopping!
Dugu Feng took Ning Rongrong to the Heaven Dou Auction House.
Those participating in the auctions here were nobles and powerful Soul Masters from Heaven Dou City.
Moreover, after the Heaven Dou Empire unified the continent, Heaven Dou City became even more prosperous, serving as the center of the entire continent.
The business of the Heaven Dou Auction House grew increasingly bustling.
As the two walked hand in hand into the auction house, Soul Masters occasionally bowed in greeting.
After all, the handsome and beautiful duo of Dugu Feng and Ning Rongrong was rarely unrecognizable.
The two made their way to the VIP room and sat down quietly.
"You said you have a gift for me. What is it?" Ning Rongrong leaned close to Dugu Feng's ear and whispered softly.
Since returning from Poseidon Island, through diligent cultivation, Ning Rongrong was now just a step away from reaching level ninety.
Recently, stimulated by Tang Chen's return, Ning Rongrong only wanted to become a strong expert and quickly advance to Titled Douluo.
Ordinary gifts no longer interested her.
"How about gifting you a 300,000-Year Soul Beast?" Dugu Feng said with a smile.
Ning Rongrong's mouth formed an 'O' shape. "300,000 years? Are there Soul Beasts with such a high age on the continent?"
The last time a 100,000-Year Soul Beast appeared, it shook the entire continent.
What would a 300,000-Year Soul Beast even look like? She truly had never seen one.
Dugu Feng smiled without answering.
"Brother Feng, are you really going to give me a 300,000-Year Soul Beast?" Seeing that Dugu Feng didn't seem to be joking, Ning Rongrong immediately grew interested.
"Would I lie to you?"
Dugu Feng brushed his hand over the pouch at his waist, and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King appeared.
Unfrozen, it was exposed within the room.
Upon seeing Dugu Feng, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King immediately lowered its head in submission.
"Is that the soul beast you mentioned that once parasitized Tang Chen?" Ning Rongrong looked at the appearance of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and easily recognized it.
Soul beasts with nine heads were far too rare.
Dugu Feng nodded and said, "Perfect timing—you're about to break through to Titled Douluo, so there's no need to cultivate further. The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's sacrifice can elevate you to at least level ninety-three!"
"Wow!"
Ning Rongrong was both shocked and overjoyed. She quickly kissed Dugu Feng on the cheek.
The gift Dugu Feng had prepared was simply too perfect for her.
"Begin the sacrifice!" Dugu Feng commanded.
"Yes, Poison Demon King!" the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King immediately complied without the slightest resistance.
Its willingness to cooperate stemmed from Dugu Feng revealing the Asura Demon Sword during their journey back.
Finally, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King understood Dugu Feng's purpose in releasing Tang Chen—it was to seize Tang Chen's inheritance divine artifact.
But Dugu Feng had gone even further, not only taking the Asura Demon Sword but also scheming to obtain the results of Tang Chen's God Test.
Under these circumstances, Dugu Feng's ascension to godhood was a foregone conclusion.
After Dugu Feng promised to make the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King a divine official, how could it not cooperate with him?
Ning Rongrong hadn't expected Dugu Feng to act so swiftly and hurriedly said, "Isn't absorbing a soul ring here too conspicuous?"
She knew very well that the commotion caused by a soul beast's sacrifice was immense.
"No matter. With me here, no aura will escape!"
Dugu Feng had already released the Asura Domain and his Tyrant Poison Aura.
With the Asura Demon Sword anchoring the Asura Domain, any fluctuations would be suppressed.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King trusted Dugu Feng unconditionally. At his command, a soul-shaking red light erupted, radiating scorching energy capable of burning everything.
Of course, the first to burn were the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's own blood, life, and its 300,000 years of cultivation.
Everything around them fell into absolute stillness.
Only the intensifying blood flames expanded into a massive crimson ring, encircling Ning Rongrong, who stood in a state of shock.
Then, these blood flames slowly merged into Ning Rongrong's body.
Her Martial Soul and spirit rings involuntarily manifested.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared resplendent and divine.
The eight surrounding spirit rings were even more miraculous: Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!
The Top Seven Trials had helped Ning Rongrong enhance her soul ring ages, allowing her eighth spirit ring to break through to 100,000 years, granting her the first 100,000 Year Soul Ring.
Now, she was about to obtain a second one.
Dugu Feng watched calmly from the side. If nothing went wrong, Ning Rongrong's ninth soul skill would be the Nine Treasure Invincible Divine Light.
It could grant invincibility for one second, capable of withstanding any attack below the divine level. It could be used on herself or to defend others, and could be activated ten times a day.
This skill was the most powerful divine technique, equivalent to ten life-saving opportunities daily—simply overwhelmingly domineering.
Absorbing a 300,000-year soul beast this time might make this skill even more formidable.
Now this was what you called cheating!
Drawing from the experience of Ye Lingling's Spirit Evolution, Dugu Feng even speculated whether the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda also carried the bloodline of a deity. Otherwise, how could such a powerful soul skill be born from it?
At this moment, with the sacrifice of the 300,000-year Soul Beast's cultivation and life energy, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power Level easily broke through to level 90, then continued to climb.
Level 91!
Level 92!
Level 93!
After pausing briefly at level 93, it slowly surged toward level 94.
However, in the end, it fell slightly short and failed to cross the threshold.
Level 93, nearly reaching level 94, had already exceeded Dugu Feng's expectations.
Next, it was time to see what this Ninth Soul Skill would be.
