Plop—
A soft sound, like the bursting of a water pouch.
The crimson eyes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger cub, filled with unwillingness and terror, instantly lost all luster, turning dull.
Its tiny body convulsed violently once, then went completely limp, devoid of life.
A dense gray current, seemingly condensed from the darkest and most evil energy in the world, shot up into the sky from the cub's corpse!
This current coalesced in the air, eventually forming a black soul ring edged with eerie gray patterns.
The soul ring slowly rotated, emitting an overwhelming energy far surpassing that of an ordinary sixty-thousand-year soul ring. Even a hundred-thousand-year soul ring would not be much different.
"Phew!"
Dai Chengfeng exhaled deeply, his eyes flashing with anticipation as he gazed at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
"Finally, it's time to reap the rewards!"
Despite the surging blood and the weakness and sharp pain coursing through his soul from using the "Divine Ultimate Kill," Dai Chengfeng didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately sat cross-legged.
The Heavenly White Tiger martial soul emerged behind him, letting out a low roar.
It then drew the ominous gray soul ring down slowly.
Instantly, as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring energy began flooding into his body, Dai Chengfeng truly sensed how domineering and violent this peerless beast's soul ring was!
It wasn't just the overwhelming surge of soul power akin to a tsunami, but also mingled with a cold, desolate, destructive, and cursed evil energy—the Evil God energy!
This force was like billions of icy venomous needles, racing wildly through his meridians, bringing bone-chilling cold and tearing pain wherever it passed, even seeming to stagnate blood flow and make soul power circulation excruciatingly difficult.
"Hmph!"
Dai Chengfeng grunted, his face instantly turning from pale to an unhealthy grayish hue, veins bulging on his forehead, cold sweat streaming down.
He clenched his teeth tightly, fully channeling the Innate Skill, guiding and refining this violent energy.
However, how deep was the resentment of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?
That Evil God energy seemed to have its own consciousness, sensing Dai Chengfeng's resistance and becoming even more ferocious.
They converged into a gray torrent, like a ferocious dragon, roaring as it charged towards Dai Chengfeng's spiritual sea, attempting to erode his will and drag him into endless darkness and madness.
"Pfft—"
Dai Chengfeng could no longer suppress it and suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.
The blood landed on the ground, making a "hiss" sound, carrying a corrosive evil aura.
His body trembled violently; irregular gray patterns began to appear on his skin surface, spreading like a curse, and his consciousness started to blur, hearing what sounded like countless wails of vengeful spirits.
"Damn it! Let's see whether your fucking Evil God energy is stronger or my two divine powers are more terrifying?!"
Feeling the erosion of the Evil God energy, Dai Chengfeng grew furious.
Deep within his body, two dormant divine powers were thoroughly awakened by Dai Chengfeng's stimulation and the provocation of this extreme foreign evil energy!
One was a cold, stern, and absolute judgment-willed dark red energy—the Asura power!
The other was a cold, insidious energy filled with endless grievances and malevolence—a purple-black energy—the Rakshasa force!
"Hum—"
Dai Chengfeng's body turned into a battlefield.
The dark red Asura power was like the sharpest sword, carrying the will to annihilate everything, precisely cutting down those Evil God resentments trying to erode Dai Chengfeng's consciousness;
The purple-black Rakshasa force was like the most insidious poison, entangling, devouring, and assimilating the Evil God energy destroying the meridians.
Although these two divine powers were far less abundant than the vast soul power brought by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, their quality was subtly superior, especially their natural suppression and dominance over evil attributes, which was displayed vividly.
No matter how strong the Evil God energy was, it was ultimately not controlled directly by the Evil God himself but came from the lower realm's Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
How could it compete with the true divine enforcer, the Asura power, and the god-level malice represented by the Rakshasa force?
Under the joint suppression of the two divine powers, the originally uncontrollable Evil God energy melted away like ice under the sun, quickly being dismantled, divided, and refined.
The cold, destructive will was obliterated by the Asura power, while the insidious curse energy was absorbed by the Rakshasa force.
Though this process still brought immense pain to Dai Chengfeng, feeling as if his body was being torn apart and reassembled repeatedly, the most fatal crisis had been resolved.
Dai Chengfeng clung to a sliver of clarity in his mind, seizing this opportunity to guide the initially tamed flood of soul power along the path of the Innate Skill, circulating it frantically.
With each full cycle, a large amount of pure soul power was absorbed and integrated into his own martial soul.
And the remaining essence of the Evil God energy was divided and devoured by the Asura power and the Rakshasa force, making these two divine forces seem to solidify imperceptibly.
Time slowly passed amidst the torment of pain.
After an unknown duration, the violent energy fluctuations around Dai Chengfeng gradually subsided.
The soul ring absorption was complete.
Dai Chengfeng opened his eyes, a flash of intense light vanishing instantly.
"Phew!"
As Dai Chengfeng exhaled a long breath, this breath carried a faint gray hue, touching the weeds on the ground, which instantly withered and vanished.
"Level 64..."
Dai Chengfeng felt the surge of soul power inside him, which had increased manifold, and a wave of joy rose in his heart.
Absorbing such a powerful soul ring across levels brought significant enhancement, directly propelling him from the sixtieth-level bottleneck to the sixty-fourth level, saving him at least a year of arduous cultivation.
And the benefits did not end there.
Dai Chengfeng discovered that his Killing God Domain underwent strange changes after fusing with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
The domain, originally purely composed of icy killing intent, now seemed to incorporate some of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's darkness and evil characteristics.
The domain's range expanded, and its intensity increased. Within it, one would not only suffer from killing intent but also experience weakened perception and corroded soul power, making it more insidious and harder to defend against.
This was undoubtedly an unexpected boon, strengthening his ace card even further.
His sixth soul skill naturally surfaced in his mind — Breath of the Evil God!
Unlike Tang San's long-range attack soul skill "Dark Demon Thunderous Fury", Dai Chengfeng's soul skill focused more on a comprehensive self-enhancement.
Upon activation, it could draw upon a trace of pure Evil God power, boosting all his attributes by fifty percent for a short period!
Moreover, attacks would carry a potent "Annihilation" effect, which was not simple destruction but could more easily dismantle the opponent's soul power defense and physical defense, causing deeper, harder-to-heal damage.
