Generally speaking, Spirit Beasts' abilities tend to be specialized, for example, leaning towards speed, attack, or defense.
However, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is an anomaly; its strengths lie in both offense and defense, making it a complete contradiction. Its dark gold fur possesses extremely strong defensive power, while its terrifying giant claws possess terrifying offensive power.
Therefore, Bear Lord can be described as unparalleled in both offense and defense.
But Zhu Zhuqing's Evil God Thorns was also not weak; its sharp stings, combined with martial arts ability, fiercely pierced Bear Lord's eyelid.
Roar!
Bear Lord immediately let out an angry roar, and a layer of dark gold light burst out from its body. Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spewed out, directly sending her flying back.
Shi Quan soared into the air, directly embracing the retreating Zhu Zhuqing, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Bear Lord still not enough?"
Bear Lord's figure paused slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, she passed."
Although Zhu Zhuqing's attack did not pierce Bear Lord's skin, it did cause him pain.
Although no substantial damage was caused, for a Spirit Emperor to be able to make Bear Lord feel pain was already enough.
Shi Quan continued to summon Blue Silver Light to help Zhu Zhuqing recover from her internal injuries. Bear Lord had held back, so Zhu Zhuqing's injuries were not severe. In just a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries had all recovered.
"Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy." Zhu Zhuqing saw that Bear Lord was somewhat arrogant, so she knew when to praise him.
"You still have some discernment." Bear Lord nodded, then looked at Shi Quan, still bowing in Thank you, "Your Excellency, I am ready."
Shi Quan nodded, summoned his Martial Spirit, and began transforming Bear Lord into a soul spirit.
The sharp aura of Extreme Gold seemed as if it could pierce through the sky.
Soon, Bear Lord transformed into a miniature version of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing had gained Bear Lord's approval, the Fusion process was still extremely painful.
During this time, Shi Quan was not idle; he began searching in the Star Dou Great Forest. He needed to prepare suitable soul spirits for some people.
His parents, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, as well as the Shi Family Brothers and Yu Feng. Besides them, he also needed to prepare for a thousand soul spirits per year.
Of course, the main goal of his search was to find Spirit Beasts that were dying or about to reach the end of their lifespan. Unless he encountered an extremely suitable one, Shi Quan rarely hunted wantonly; he always relied on his special status to persuade them with emotion and reason.
Several days later.
Seven shining spirit rings shimmered and swayed beneath Zhu Zhuqing.
After extreme pain, Zhu Zhuqing finally successfully absorbed the Bear Lord soul spirit, and her strength directly Broke through from sixty-eight to seventy-one.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Red, Black, Vermillion Gold.
At the same time, she also gained a special external Spirit Bone—the Dark Gold Dreadclaw.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw of Extreme Gold possessed the power to tear apart Dragons and shake the heavens.
It can be said that it directly maximized Zhu Zhuqing's attack power.
Just as everyone thought Zhu Zhuqing's absorption was over, suddenly, a dark, night-like evil aura erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's body. Within that evil aura, there was countless blood light and Killing Intent.
The next moment, the blood light and Killing Intent burst out like a bonfire instantly ignited.
With a loud bang.
The scarlet flames rolled inward, and the Evil God Thorns behind Zhu Zhuqing burst out with a powerful aura. The phantom of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing.
"What is this?" Dugu Yan was also awakened by this sudden evil aura.
"Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger?" Shi Quan sensed Zhu Zhuqing's anomaly and rushed back immediately. Looking at the phantom of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger behind Zhu Zhuqing, his brows furrowed, "Didn't I completely destroy the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Soul? Why is there still such a change?"
Just as Shi Quan was puzzled, a white light suddenly erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's body, and cold Killing Intent replaced the evil aura.
Meow!
A clear cat's meow sounded, and the phantom of the Dark Demonic Spirit Cat Martial Spirit appeared. The phantom of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger seemed to sense a terrifying aura and began to tremble.
The next second, the Dark Demonic Spirit Cat Martial Spirit swung a claw and directly split the phantom of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger in half, then swallowed both halves.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure trembled violently. As the bloody aura flowed around her, the surging white light around Zhu Zhuqing became even more intense and turbulent. The black ring, originally ranked sixth beneath her, underwent a strange change. Amidst the rising bloody light flames, the original black of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's fifth spirit ring began to ripple with a red glow. The red slowly and steadily spread until it covered the entire spirit ring.
In Slaughter City, as she continuously slaughtered, Zhu Zhuqing felt a power slowly accumulating within her body.
And at this moment, these powers completely erupted.
After Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring, she also absorbed the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's Origin Core Pearl, which not only evolved Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit but also mutated her fifth spirit ring into a special spirit ring similar to an Origin spirit ring. It would increase in age as Zhu Zhuqing slaughtered and devoured, just like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, simultaneously increasing her strength through slaughter and devouring.
As she Broke through to Spirit Saint and gained her Martial Spirit Avatar, the energy she accumulated from her frenzied slaughter in Slaughter City finally erupted at this moment.
With the complete Awakening of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's power, a large amount of slaughter in a short period, coupled with the influence of Rakshasa's power, caused Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit to be affected by the Evil God's power, resulting in a similar corrupted, evil mutation. Fortunately, this power was ultimately directly devoured and absorbed by her Slaughter God Domain, which not only prevented Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit from becoming evil but also helped Zhu Zhuqing's Slaughter God Domain evolve further.
The black wings that originally represented corruption now had several more blood-colored feathers.
Seeing this, Shi Quan's eyes also lit up. The evolution of the Slaughter God Domain meant that Zhu Zhuqing had further gained the Asura God's approval.
The Slaughter God Domain had just been obtained and already evolved, indicating that Zhu Zhuqing's current Martial Spirit and the Asura God's power were still very compatible.
This was good news for both Zhu Zhuqing and Shi Quan.
The blood flames gradually subsided, and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at her fifth spirit ring with a surprised expression. Along with the spirit ring's evolution, her physical attributes had also improved again, and even her external Spirit Bone, Evil God Hook, had evolved with it.
She only felt that her state had reached an unprecedented level.
"What exactly is going on with the power within this Slaughter God Domain?" Bear Lord's startled voice came, and a dark gold light emerged, as Bear Lord's slightly pale figure also appeared outside.
Bear Lord soul spirit and Zhu Zhuqing's Origin were one, so his perception of everything that just happened was the clearest. Even he had to avoid the sharp edge of that evil power, but such evil power was directly swallowed by the Slaughter God Domain, or more accurately, directly killed by the Slaughter God Domain.
"That is Asura God's power." As soon as Asura God was mentioned, a chilling coldness involuntarily appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.
"You indeed chose a good spirit ring for her. The help that the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring brought her is no less than the help that the Bear Lord soul spirit brought her." Gu Yuena's gaze fell on Shi Quan, not understanding whether this was a coincidence or something else.
"Shi Quan, then isn't this god-bestowed spirit ring useless to me?" Zhu Zhuqing took out the god-bestowed spirit ring she had obtained from the Dragon Tomb from her spirit tool.
"Useful, how could it be useless." Shi Quan's lips curved into a smile as he looked at Gu Yuena.
"Zhuqing, just crush it, and I will help you absorb it." Gu Yuena stepped forward and came to Zhu Zhuqing's side.
Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled, because her spirit power was just seventy-one. Wasn't the god-bestowed spirit ring supposed to bestow a spirit ring? She should not be able to absorb a spirit ring in her current state, right?
Although puzzled, she still sat down cross-legged.
With a crack.
The god-bestowed spirit ring in her hand transformed into a nine-colored radiance that enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, a nine-colored light also erupted from Gu Yuena's body. As the two lights intertwined, the nine-colored light surrounding Zhu Zhuqing instantly became denser, enveloping both of them.
Seven brilliant spirit rings emerged from beneath Zhu Zhuqing, and faintly, one could see the nine-colored light continuously compressing around Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings.
Waves of majestic aura continuously erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's body.
That was the aura of the Spirit Bone, and the next second, the Slaughter God Domain also unfolded.
The nine-colored light, like a giant hammer, continuously pounded on Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings. While being tempered a thousand times, the spirit rings on Zhu Zhuqing's body were changing at a visible speed.
The first two spirit rings, originally yellow, gradually deepened in color, slowly turning purple. The subsequent purple spirit rings were also the same, deepening in color and gradually turning dark purple, moving towards black.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Gradually, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings turned purple, black, black, black, red, red, and vermillion gold.
The nine-colored light gradually converged, finally completely merging into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
"It's already her body's limit." Gu Yuena stood up.
Zhu Zhuqing also felt her whole body swollen at this moment, a feeling like being overstuffed.
"Thank you, Master!" Bear Lord's excited voice came, seemingly having gained considerable benefits from the god-bestowed spirit ring as well.
"Assist Zhuqing well. When she inherits the Asura God Position, that will be your time to advance." Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
"Shi Quan, what's going on with the Asura God?" Zhu Zhuqing was still completely bewildered.
She had just come out and obtained the soul spirit of the 500,000-year Vicious Beast, Bear Lord.
Then, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring had just evolved to 100,000 years, but it seemed the god-bestowed spirit ring had again increased the age of her various spirit rings.
And what did the Asura God have to do with her?
This series of changes made her feel completely muddled now. She had too many questions at the moment…
