Chapter 168: Death Canyon
At this moment, Bo Saixi had completely gone limp in Su Mo's arms, fast asleep. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
Although Su Mo also had his eyes closed, he did not fall asleep.
He remained awake at all times to prevent any accidents from occurring and disturbing Bibi Dong's absorption of the Soul Bone.
After all, absorbing a Soul Bone was not something that could be completed in a short moment; the slightest carelessness could ruin all previous efforts.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
During these few days, Su Mo and Bo Saixi never left the hotel, not even by a single step, so as to prevent the outside world from disturbing Bibi Dong.
Aside from checking on Bibi Dong's condition daily, Su Mo spent his time discussing life with Bo Saixi, making their days quite leisurely.
On this day, Bibi Dong's absorption of the Soul Bone finally neared its end.
Suddenly, she opened her beautiful eyes.
In an instant, her aura climbed abruptly, and an invisible pressure surged from within her body.
Previously, after Bibi Dong finished absorbing her eighth Soul Ring, combined with the one level of Soul Power rewarded from the Sea God trial, her Soul Power reached level eighty-two.
But now, after absorbing two Soul Bones, the Soul Power in her body surged all the way to level eighty-six.
Of course, this was mainly thanks to that hundred thousand year torso bone.
That nearly ninety-thousand-year head spirit bone did not increase her Soul Power by much, but instead greatly enhanced her Spiritual Power.
"Dong'er, you can start absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring now, directly attaching it to your Second Martial Soul."
Su Mo stood in front of Bibi Dong, speaking with a faint smile.
Although Bibi Dong currently lacked divine force, having the hundred thousand year torso bone made her Physique far exceed what it once was.
Attaching a small number of Soul Rings to her Second Martial Soul would not place a burden on her body.
More importantly, the attributes of Bibi Dong's two Martial Souls were similar, so they would not easily clash.
"Alright." Bibi Dong had absolute faith in Su Mo's words.
She immediately took out the god-bestowed spirit ring.
As dark green light surged, she released her Second Martial Soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor.
Previously, Bo Saixi had explained the function and usage of the god-bestowed spirit ring in detail, so Bibi Dong naturally understood.
She took a deep breath to calm her mind and directly crushed the god-bestowed spirit ring.
Golden specks of light slowly merged into her body.
In the next moment, the embryonic form of a Soul Ring emerged around Bibi Dong.
At first, the Soul Ring was a faint white, almost transparent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
But as time passed, the white quickly turned into yellow, and then into purple.
And the purple continued to deepen, from light purple to deep purple.
From deep purple to black...
Days passed, one by one.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
A god-bestowed spirit ring was different from a Soul Ring obtained by hunting a Soul Beast.
The former had no Soul shock, so it would not impact one's mind.
Everything depended solely on physical fitness.
And Bibi Dong's Physique had previously been tempered by the Seagod's Light, and was further strengthened by the hundred thousand year torso bone, so it was naturally extremely powerful.
At this moment, the Soul Ring around her had turned a deep black, dark as ink, and began to show faint traces of red.
Clearly, this Soul Ring was about to reach the hundred thousand year level.
Before long,
a blood-red light instantly blossomed inside the room.
Bibi Dong's Soul Ring had completely transformed into a hundred thousand year spirit ring.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Looking at the red Soul Ring around her that countless Soul Masters dreamed of, an indescribable excitement welled up in her heart.
"Su Mo, look!" Bibi Dong cried out in excitement, "I have a hundred thousand year spirit ring too!"
Su Mo smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
"Keep up the good work." With that, he took out a god-bestowed spirit ring—the one Ah Yin had obtained previously.
As a transformed Soul Beast, Ah Yin could condense Soul Rings on her own and did not need the help of a god-bestowed spirit ring, so she had given this ring to Su Mo to use as he saw fit.
"After absorbing this Soul Ring, you should reach level ninety. When that time comes, I'll take you to hunt for a Soul Ring, and then we'll head back to Sea God Island."
Suppressing her excited emotions, Bibi Dong nodded. She took the god-bestowed spirit ring, crushed it, and closed her eyes once more.
Golden specks of light merged into her body, and the embryonic form of a new Soul Ring emerged once again.
Just like before, the Soul Ring started from white and transformed step by step.
Time quietly slipped away.
This absorption went slightly more smoothly than the first.
Another month or so passed.
When Bibi Dong opened her eyes again, her second Soul Ring had also quietly turned red.
Two hundred thousand year spirit rings slowly rotated around her, emitting a suffocating sense of pressure.
And her Soul Power, relying on the massive energy of this hundred thousand year spirit ring, successfully made a Breakthrough to level ninety.
"Congratulations, Dong'er," Su Mo said with a smile.
"Congratulations to Sister Dong'er on being about to become a Titled Douluo," Bo Saixi also offered her congratulations.
"Thank you," Bibi Dong smiled.
At this moment, her heart was incredibly thrilled.
In just a few short months, she had leaped from level eighty to become a quasi-Titled Douluo.
Su Mo said, "Tomorrow, we will go and hunt for a Soul Ring."
"Alright," Bibi Dong nodded.
A light of anticipation flickered in her eyes.
The next day, as the horizon turned the color of a fish's belly,
the three of them left the hotel where they had stayed for two months and embarked on a new journey.
"Su Mo, are we not going to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Bibi Dong asked, somewhat puzzled.
The Star Dou Great Forest was the most densely populated area of Soul Beasts on the continent, and the preferred choice for most high-level Soul Masters to hunt for Soul Rings.
"I have long prepared your Ninth Soul Ring for you," Su Mo said calmly.
The Ninth Soul Ring he spoke of was precisely Bibi Dong's original Ninth Soul Ring, the hundred thousand year Death Spider Emperor.
This Soul Beast was a perfect match for Bibi Dong's first Martial Soul, and it could even provide two hundred thousand year Soul Bones.
Now, due to his appearance, many butterfly effects had occurred.
But Bibi Dong was his woman; Su Mo naturally wouldn't let her miss out on such a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast that perfectly suited her.
Although this was sudden and Su Mo did not know the exact location of the Death Spider Emperor, he generally knew that the Soul Beast was located within the Death Canyon.
Once they arrived, with Su Mo's current Spiritual Power coverage, he should be able to find it very quickly.
A few hours later,
the three of them arrived above a giant canyon.
Below their feet was the Death Canyon, which made countless Soul Masters on the continent turn pale at its mention.
The cliffs on both sides of the canyon looked as if they had been carved by knives and axes. They were a dark red, like coagulated blood, steep and perilous.
The bottom of the canyon was shrouded in thick toxic mist year-round. The mist surged and tumbled, completely obscuring the scenery below, and a deathly silent aura rushed over them.
"This is the Death Canyon?" Bibi Dong exclaimed softly.
Although she had never set foot here, as the Wuhun Hall Holy Maiden, she had heard of this perilous place.
"That's right. We'll go straight down."
As Su Mo's voice fell, he took the lead and leaped down toward the depths of the canyon.
The two women exchanged a glance and closely followed, leaping down after him.
The three figures plunged into the swirling toxic mist, completely swallowed by the dense fog in an instant.
Before long, the three of them landed on the rugged, boulder-strewn bottom of the canyon.
