Since this successor had also passed the Asura God's trial, the Spider God needed to raise the stakes, and the benefits given to Dugu Feng were extraordinary.
It was the Spider God's comprehension of the essence of poison.
Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance for this Eighth Soul Skill to be born, it would still bring a qualitative improvement to Dugu Feng's realm.
The Spider God completely departed, leaving only Dugu Feng to absorb the Spirit Ring.
Sensing the energy of the God-given Soul Ring, Dugu Feng immediately understood that the Spider God intended to elevate the status of the Spider God Godhood in his heart.
From the perspective of cultivating poison, the Spider God was indeed the best choice.
Now, Dugu Feng wanted to see for himself the formidable aspects of the Spider God's poison!
"Overlord Venom!"
With a loud shout from Dugu Feng, a fist-sized, multicolored pearl shot out from between his eyebrows.
It hovered in front of him.
Only poison could counter poison!
When the Overlord Venom first formed, it was only the size of a pigeon egg. After years of cultivation, it had grown to the size of an adult's fist, and the toxins contained within had expanded many times over.
A dazzling multicolored light radiated, completely enveloping Dugu Feng.
It instantly resonated with the energy of the God-given Soul Ring within his body.
A black energy rapidly spread through his meridians.
His limbs, chest, head, and Sea of Spirit were all filled with the black energy of Deadly Poison.
This black energy was the destructive result of the collision between the Overlord Venom and the Spider God Poison.
Calmly, Dugu Feng manipulated the Overlord Venom to begin transforming, embarking on endless evolution.
Poison was a mixture of abilities such as confusion, chaos, destruction, corrosion, paralysis, and more.
The Spider God Poison seemed to possess all these abilities.
It sought to control Dugu Feng's body from both physical and spiritual aspects.
With unwavering determination, Dugu Feng guided the Overlord Venom to evolve each of these abilities, beginning to devour the energy of the Spider God Poison.
Although the Spider God Poison was formidable, it did not exceed the limits of the Eighth Spirit Ring.
After all, the Spider God did not intend to kill him; this was the essence of poison that the Eighth Spirit Ring could accommodate.
Especially the spiritual toxins, which ravaged Dugu Feng's Sea of Spirit like a Soul Impact.
Dugu Feng exerted all his strength to balance the damage inflicted by the toxins and his recovery ability.
He had no idea how long he persisted, but he noticed the light before him seemed to have intensified.
The fist-sized Overlord Venom had now transformed into eight colors, with each color constantly shifting, as if new colors were about to burst forth.
"The Overlord Venom has evolved again!"
After observing it carefully, Dugu Feng felt relieved. The power of the Overlord Venom had strengthened once more, now surpassing the energy of the Spider God toxins contained within the God-given Soul Ring.
He had comprehended the Spider God Poison and had evolved a part of it within the Overlord Venom.
Dugu Feng's Sea of Spirit glowed with a white fluorescence, as countless insights about poison and the variations of Mixed Poison arose within.
With a slight thought, various techniques of poisoning surged into his mind.
Dugu Feng felt his spirit sublimating, and his control over the Overlord Venom became even more effortless.
"Spider God, the God of Poison in the God Realm, you must be a Second-level God. A Third-level God wouldn't be this strong!"
Dugu Feng made a conjecture.
In the God Realm, there were five God Kings, twenty First-level Gods, only two hundred and sixteen Second-level Gods, and nearly two thousand Third-level Gods.
Top-tier second-class deities were already prominent figures in the God Realm.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing ultimately inherited second-class godhoods.
The Spider God should also be a unique deity in the God Realm, undoubtedly ranking among the top in combat prowess.
He should secure whatever benefits he could obtain first; deciding which godhood to inherit would be a matter for later.
The Spider God's trials didn't require sequential completion. The Spider God's second trial was to cultivate the Spider God Eight Wings.
This was likely an evolved form of the Spider Emperor Eight Wings.
The Spider Emperor Eight Wings were already divine artifacts—how much more powerful would the Gods' Eight Wings be?
Dugu Feng felt the eight large wings on his back.
With a slight flutter, these divine artifact-level wings could slice through the Eight Treasure Ruyi Soft Armor forged by Lou Gao.
They were already this powerful—how could they be further enhanced?
Dugu Feng had no ideas at all.
After pondering without reaching any conclusion, he simply continued absorbing Spirit Rings.
He then noticed the eighth Spirit Ring already rotating around his body. Unconsciously, he had maximized the energy of the God-given Soul Ring.
Another red Spirit Ring appeared.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red!
Eight Spirit Rings pulsated rhythmically.
This indicated he had reached the Contra Realm.
Checking his Soul Power Level:
"Eighty-third level!"
A pleased expression crossed Dugu Feng's face. He sensed the eighth Spirit Ring's age was at least over 180,000 years.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have brought him a two-level improvement.
Dugu Feng rolled over and lay steadily in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
His body slowly rose, exposing his head above the surface. Relaxing as if soaking in a hot spring, he gazed contentedly at the sky.
At twenty-two years old, he still had over two years before the original timeline where Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong achieved godhood.
Thanks to his interference, the situation had drastically changed.
Qian Renxue had successfully usurped the throne and was now the emperor of Heaven Dou, still immersed in her dream of unifying the continent.
According to intelligence gathered by the Emerald Dragon Snake, Qian Renxue had left Tongshui City once six months ago.
Dugu Feng didn't need to guess—he knew she had gone to absorb her eighth Spirit Ring.
Due to the changes he had brought about, Qian Renxue had only recently reached the Contra Realm and hadn't yet activated her God Test, significantly slowing her progress.
Tang San had also undergone major changes. His departure for Poseidon Island was delayed by over a year, and he had just passed the second trial of the Black Level Six Trials, with his Soul Power Level rising to seventy-six. He no longer posed a threat.
Only Bibi Dong, under his schemes, had battled Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, losing a portion of her Divine Power.
Simultaneously, she had lost two 100,000 Year Soul Rings, so her current strength was certainly inferior to the original timeline. However, Dugu Feng had no opportunity to hinder the progress of Bibi Dong's God Test.
If following the original timeline, Bibi Dong would achieve godhood in just over two years.
Even with delays, if he didn't intervene, she would become a deity within three years at the latest.
Moreover, having stolen two of her 100,000 Year Soul Rings, if she turned more malevolent, she might even achieve godhood earlier.
The key now was to ambush her when she absorbed her final two Spirit Rings.
This was the last opportunity.
Once Bibi Dong became a Double Ring Title Douluo and retreated into the Rakshasa Secret Realm to undergo her God Test, no one could stop her from succeeding.
At this thought, Dugu Feng suddenly felt he must take action—he absolutely couldn't wait any longer.
If Bibi Dong were to absorb two seventy to eighty-thousand-year Spirit Rings now and devote herself fully to the God Test, even he would have no choice but to plan an escape route and find a place to hide.
A glint of wisdom flashed in Dugu Feng's eyes.
He needed to delay Bibi Dong's ascension to godhood, but at this point, it was already extremely difficult to postpone any further.
The only option left was to force a decisive battle ahead of schedule.
Dugu Feng decided to take action.
