It seemed Bibi Dong had cultivated some additional Divine Power during this period, and she did not hesitate to use it now.
"Hmph!"
Dugu Feng snorted coldly and began burrowing deeper underground, surrounded by the blue glow of the Sea God's Heart.
Hidden by the Sea God's Heart, Dugu Feng was not at all worried about exposing any trace of his aura.
But Bibi Dong was unleashing an indiscriminate attack.
Dugu Feng had no choice but to flee quickly.
The explosion of the Netherworld Poison Crocodile's corpse was the work of the Overlord Venom, which had evolved an explosive toxin similar to the Second Soul Skill, Poison Burst Technique.
Then, amidst the explosions, he took the Netherworld Poison Crocodile's Soul Bone and burrowed underground.
The Overlord Venom itself possessed strong concealment abilities, capable of blocking spiritual detection.
Amidst the explosions and having left Bibi Dong and the others' line of sight, he naturally vanished without a trace, making it impossible for Bibi Dong to find him again.
Dugu Feng controlled the Overlord Venom from afar, planning to reunite with it only after reaching a safe area outside Death Canyon.
As for himself, he went deeper, deeper, and deeper still.
The tunnel he had dug earlier now proved useful.
He moved smoothly downward, continuing until he was ten thousand meters underground, then changed direction and flew toward the outside of Death Canyon.
Hidden by the Sea God's Heart, although the Berserk Rakshasa Great Scythe on the surface caused significant destructive force underground, it still did not harm Dugu Feng.
But Dugu Feng's current condition was not good.
The fluctuations of Soul Power within his body were intense.
The Eight-Angle Black Ice Herb clung tightly to his shoulder, helping him suppress the energy inside.
It turned out that during his rapid escape, Dugu Feng had already begun absorbing the 100,000-Year Spirit Ring.
The energy of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast was immense. Sensing his call, it poured down almost instantly, filling his meridians, bones, and blood.
The most critical point was that normally, absorbing a Spirit Ring required a quiet environment and complete focus.
But Dugu Feng had to evade Bibi Dong's attacks, and he had no intention of staying beneath Death Canyon.
Thus, he had no choice but to absorb the Spirit Ring while escaping.
This method of absorbing a Spirit Ring was absolutely unprecedented and would likely never be replicated.
Moreover, the Spirit Ring he was absorbing was a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring.
No one else could possibly manage such recklessness.
The physical pressure and Soul Impact brought by the Spirit Ring's energy were enough to overwhelm most Soul Masters.
But relying on his formidable physical strength, Dugu Feng endured the pain, fusing with the Spirit Ring while flying at high speed.
Once he survived this ordeal, he would become a Soul Saint.
From then on, he could unleash his Martial Soul Avatar, and his strength would increase significantly once more.
Dugu Feng gritted his teeth and persevered.
Of course, this was mainly because the Overlord Venom was not inside his body. Otherwise, with the Overlord Venom's abilities, the Netherworld Poison Crocodile's Soul Impact would have had no effect on Dugu Feng.
But now, he could only rely on his own spiritual power and the Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom to resist.
Within his Sea of Spirit, the aggrieved soul of the Netherworld Poison Crocodile thrashed its long tail, continuously assaulting Dugu Feng.
Having just become a 100,000-Year Soul Beast only to be killed—how could it not feel aggrieved?
Dugu Feng's spiritual power remained as solid as a rock, enduring the baptism.
The energy of the Netherworld Poison Crocodile within his body remained within Dugu Feng's tolerance range, after all, his blood was fused with Asura Power and aided by the Core Pearl.
The Soul Ring energy was gradually being absorbed by him.
Just as he was about to exit Death Canyon, the fluctuations of Soul Power within Dugu Feng's body had already subsided, leaving only the Soul Impact.
At this point, Dugu Feng was in no hurry.
Each Soul Impact was a perfect test of spiritual power; as long as he endured it, his spiritual power would surely increase significantly.
Most of Dugu Feng's focus was immersed in the Sea of Spirit, constantly battling the soul of the Netherworld Poison Crocodile.
The Soul Skill of the Seventh Soul Ring was certain to be the Martial Soul Avatar.
And the Martial Soul Avatar represented a deeper utilization of the Martial Soul, where the entire body fused with the Martial Soul, making the role of spiritual power even greater.
While enduring the Soul Impact, it was also the moment for Dugu Feng to comprehend his Martial Soul and the formation of the Seventh Spirit Ability.
Around his body, the phantom of the seventh Soul Ring had already appeared, emitting a faint red glow.
Gradually solidifying.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Red, Red!
The colors of the seven Soul Rings shimmered brilliantly, illuminating the entire underground passage.
Dugu Feng felt as if he were floating on air, filled with immense excitement.
It felt incredible.
Not only because he had absorbed a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, but also because it was taken from Bibi Dong.
She had given everything, and he reaped the rewards.
And to this day, Bibi Dong still didn't know who had stolen her 100,000-Year Soul Beast!
This feeling was simply exhilarating.
While Dugu Feng happily enjoyed the fruits of victory and enhanced his strength,
terrifying attacks continued to erupt above Death Canyon.
Bibi Dong's wings trembled behind her as her entire body transformed into a Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Her upper body was covered in dark green spiderweb patterns, while her lower body was a spherical form with three pairs of Spider Legs.
On the Spider Legs, dark green corrosive fluid dripped continuously.
Crescent-shaped green light blades shot frantically toward the ground.
Where the Netherworld Poison Crocodile had once been, a massive pit tens of thousands of meters deep had been carved out.
Among it, the passage Dugu Feng had dug was also exposed.
This allowed Bibi Dong's spiritual power to continuously probe through the underground passage, but unfortunately, she still detected no trace of anyone.
She frantically burrowed into the passage, but soon reached a dead end.
While distancing himself, Dugu Feng had naturally been continuously collapsing the passage behind him.
Only the other unused passages remained.
Bibi Dong traversed all the passages.
Then, she vented her Soul Power wildly.
She was truly going mad.
How exactly had the other party delivered the final blow? To this day, Bibi Dong couldn't figure it out.
This drove her to the brink of insanity.
Soon, Bibi Dong exited Death Canyon and began frantically searching around it.
As for Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, they spared no effort in expanding the search radius.
Naturally, the result was fruitless.
This state of frenzy lasted for over half a day before Bibi Dong, with a dazed expression, returned to the oasis.
Looking at the desolate scene around her, Bibi Dong's mind was in turmoil.
After another moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others had all returned, kneeling on the ground, awaiting Bibi Dong's punishment.
Time passed, and Bibi Dong remained standing there. It wasn't until a full twelve hours had elapsed that her eyes finally flickered.
During those twelve hours, Bibi Dong relived her entire life in her mind.
All the agonizing memories came back to her.
Even the time when she was defiled by Qian Xunji—every movement, her own struggles—Bibi Dong remembered it all.
On Bibi Dong's body, the sinister purple-black aura grew deeper.
In her eyes, countless frenzied demon spiders flickered.
No one knew what Bibi Dong was thinking.
Undoubtedly, the blow of losing two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts in a row was comparable to the time she was defiled.
The loss was too great.
