A few more days passed, and Dugu Feng had been continuously sensing the Core Pearl within Yan's body, yet he gained little from it.
Yan's progress was painfully slow; he had been struggling against a group of Flame Giant Lizards, making Dugu Feng feel like cursing at him.
So foolish and clumsy, no wonder Hu Liena doesn't fancy you.
After some thought, Dugu Feng decided to release the Emerald Dragon Snake.
"Go, head to Death Canyon. Transfer the Core Pearl from Yan's body into Xie Yue's, and while you're at it, uncover the secrets of Death Canyon!"
Dugu Feng patted the snake's head of an Emerald Dragon Snake.
The Emerald Dragon Snake's eyes gleamed with intelligence as it extended its jaw and bit Dugu Feng's hand, injecting a small amount of venom into him.
Then, it transformed into a phantom shadow and vanished from the room.
Dugu Feng was already accustomed to this.
Back when he suffered from poison flare-ups, he had used the Emerald Dragon Snake's venom to counteract poison with poison.
This led the two Emerald Dragon Snakes to believe their master greatly appreciated their toxins.
Their way of showing affection was to poison Dugu Feng a little.
Fortunately, Dugu Feng had long mastered control over the toxins in his body, or he would have been poisoned to death by these two Emerald Dragon Snakes long ago.
The Rainbow Overlord Poison in his lower Dantian shone with a radiant light, effortlessly absorbing the Emerald Dragon Snake's venom.
Dugu Feng felt pleased.
The Overlord Poison was exceedingly proud and usually disdained common toxins.
However, the venom of the evolved Emerald Dragon Snake now possessed the properties of Corrosive Poison, rivaling even Dugu Feng's Fourth Soul Skill, Icefire Poison Erosion.
Even the Overlord Poison was quite willing to absorb it.
After the Emerald Dragon Snake departed, Dugu Feng continued his silent cultivation in Slaughter City until his strength advanced to Level 60.
Only then did he request to leave from the King of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter had been living quite luxuriously during this period. Both the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall had grown quiet, and Hu Liena had also left Slaughter City, restoring peace to the place.
The King of Slaughter wished only for these good days to continue, allowing him and that Seductive Woman to enjoy their time alone together.
If only the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall didn't exist on the continent, and if Tang Chen could be eliminated, life would be truly comfortable.
The King of Slaughter mused wistfully.
When Dugu Feng expressed his intent to leave, the King of Slaughter thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Poison Demon King, the Slaughter God Domain you cultivate is a legacy left by a powerful Deity.
Although it greatly enhances your strength, from what I know, only by obtaining the inheritance divine artifact of this Deity can you unleash the true power of the Slaughter Power!"
Dugu Feng feigned ignorance, his face blank, and quickly asked, "What divine artifact might that be?"
The King of Slaughter didn't keep him in suspense and explained, "It is called the Asura Demon Sword, a demonic blade used by the Asura God to judge injustice and sin.
This demon sword contains immense Asura Divine Power. If you can possess it, you will soon be able to cultivate Divine Power with its aid.
Becoming a Deity is not beyond reach!"
The King of Slaughter's tone was laced with temptation.
"Then, where might this Asura Demon Sword be located?"
Dugu Feng continued playing dumb.
The King of Slaughter sighed deeply. "I only know that Tang Chen came to Slaughter City in search of a Godhood Seat. After obtaining the Slaughter God Domain, like you, he received the inheritance of the Asura God.
He also gained the recognition of the Asura Demon Sword. Later, Tang Chen disappeared, and the Asura Demon Sword vanished along with him.
Perhaps he is hiding somewhere, cultivating in secret, aiming to ascend to Godhood!"
"However, the Clear Sky Sect must have clues. Poison Demon King, you still need to pay more attention to the Clear Sky Sect!"
The King of Slaughter had finally revealed his true intentions.
He was actually tempting Dugu Feng with a godhood position and the Asura Demon Sword to make him deal with the Clear Sky Sect.
Dugu Feng showed a thoughtful expression and said, "With the death of a Titled Douluo in the Clear Sky Sect, they probably won't make any moves for several years. I suspect they're placing all their hopes on Tang San, expecting him to grow up! Your Majesty, rest assured, nothing on the continent can escape the notice of my Dugu Family. I will keep a close watch on the Clear Sky Sect!"
After speaking, Dugu Feng stood up, preparing to leave.
"Poison Demon King, since you became the Guest Minister of Slaughter City, I haven't given you a gift. Take this!"
The King of Slaughter pulled out a long, black-glowing object from his chest.
"A Soul Bone!"
"Indeed, this is a Ten-Thousand Year Left Arm Bone. You can either absorb it yourself or give it to your family!"
The King of Slaughter knew that with Dugu Feng's talent, he would be very selective about absorbing Soul Bones. But no matter what, Soul Bones were precious. He was willing to part with it, determined to win Dugu Feng over. After all, he would need Dugu Feng's help to deal with the Asura Demon Sword later!
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Until we meet again!"
Dugu Feng expressed his gratitude, took the Soul Bone, and directly stored it in his Storage Soul Tool. While he didn't value a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Bone for himself, it would be quite useful for other Soul Masters in his family to absorb.
After bidding farewell to the King of Slaughter, Dugu Feng directly left Slaughter City.
"My sixth Spirit Ring, here I come!"
Dugu Feng changed into a black combat outfit and nimbly mounted the Emerald Dragon Snake.
He was heading to Death Canyon.
During this time, the Emerald Dragon Snake had already uncovered the secrets of Death Canyon. There were six Soul Beasts over ninety thousand years old in Death Canyon, each dominating their own territory and bullying other Soul Beasts. However, this situation was deliberately created by the Spirit Hall, who had even arranged natural enemies and food sources around these six Soul Beasts to promote their growth and combat experience.
These six Soul Beasts were essentially being raised in captivity, though they themselves were unaware of it, believing they were the kings of their territories.
"So this is how Bibi Dong obtained her 100,000-Year Soul Ring!"
Dugu Feng admired Bibi Dong's cleverness. Since she couldn't find a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, she simply cultivated one herself. After all, not everyone had Tang Hao's luck!
He had learned that one of the six captive Soul Beasts in Death Canyon was currently evolving, and this particular Soul Beast was also suitable for him. Dugu Feng decided that no matter what, he would seize this Soul Beast.
He traveled cautiously, moving by night and resting by day, avoiding all cities and towns. He detoured far to the east of Spirit City before approaching Death Canyon.
As he drew closer, Dugu Feng noticed that the terrain here was vastly different from that of the Heaven Dou Empire, not even resembling the nearby Star Dou Great Forest. The area was filled with cliff-like mountains, with drought-resistant grass and weathered rocks covering the surface. It looked more like a desert region.
Only after entering the ravines within the desert does the scenery begin to change.
Occasionally, one can see clusters of trees and small ponds.
Various Spirit Beasts also start to appear, with their diversity no less than that of other Soul Hunting Forests.
However, resources here are scarcer than in other Soul Hunting Forests, leading to more brutal predation among the Spirit Beasts and making them more aggressive.
