Chapter 108: Evil Demon Orca King Spirit Ring
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, inside Dugu Bo's secret chamber!
Dugu Bo was currently examining the two spirit skills he had just obtained.
The Evil Demon Orca King spirit ring had granted him two abilities:
Evil Mirror of Annihilation (邪魔镜之灭)
Evil Soul Seizure (邪魔魂之摄)
Evil Mirror of Annihilation allowed him to condense soul power into an extremely durable mirror with astonishing defensive capabilities.
At the same time, he could shatter the mirror, causing violent spatial vibrations around him—making it both an offensive and defensive skill.
Evil Soul Seizure was a powerful control-type ability. Physical defense was completely ineffective against it. It released red ripples, and once an opponent's body came into contact with these ripples—
As long as their soul power level and spiritual strength did not greatly surpass Dugu Bo's, they would be forcibly stunned for three seconds.
With Dugu Bo's current cultivation and spiritual power, unless the opponent exceeded Level 98, this skill could guarantee a three-second stun.
After briefly familiarizing himself with the two new abilities, Dugu Bo turned his attention to the spirit bone lying on the ground.
Without hesitation, he gently pressed it against his leg.
Buzz—
With a strange humming sound, the spirit bone merged into his body and disappeared.
A faint red glow now radiated from one of his legs.
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged once more and began absorbing the spirit bone.
He couldn't help but sigh—having the system was simply too satisfying. A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone could be absorbed at will.
For others, they would have to risk their lives battling terrifying hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Outside the chamber, the entire forest had fallen silent.
At night, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was exceptionally beautiful.
The red and blue spring waters emitted a soft glow, resembling two massive pools of luminescent liquid.
The rare plants growing around it shimmered faintly in the darkness.
Countless tiny insects danced joyfully around the glowing flora, creating a breathtaking scene.
Amid the chirping of insects and birds, the night quietly passed…
By morning, a thin mist drifted through the forest.
As a streak of purple qi rose along the horizon, Dugu Bo—who had already finished absorbing the spirit bone—sat atop a hill above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, gazing intently at it.
His eyes glowed with the same purple light, appearing extremely mysterious.
The purple glow quickly faded, and Dugu Bo slowly descended from the mountaintop.
After absorbing the Evil Demon Orca King spirit bone the previous night, his soul power had not immediately broken through to Level 97.
But it was close. Even with normal cultivation, he would likely reach it soon.
The spirit bone in his leg granted two offensive abilities.
As for their exact power—he hadn't tested them yet.
Suddenly inspired, Dugu Bo activated his soul power.
His newly absorbed left leg burst with intense red light as he kicked sharply toward the sky!
His leg no longer resembled a human limb—it transformed into something like a massive crimson battle axe, cleaving upward.
Wooo—!
A deep, ferocious roar erupted from his leg.
A razor-sharp dark red arc shot into the sky like a colossal axe strike.
At that moment, it was as if the phantom of the Evil Demon Orca King appeared behind him, swinging its enormous tail against the sea.
Screech—
The red light spread outward in a fan shape, tearing through the air.
BOOM—
Moments later, a shockwave exploded high above the Sunset Forest, spreading outward in a circular blast.
Even the sparse clouds in the brightening sky were completely scattered.
This was Evil Demon Orca Axe—
A technique that condensed all of his power into his left leg, enhanced by the spirit bone, forming an incredibly sharp axe-like blade for a devastating single-target strike.
Though… its horizontal range was slightly larger than expected.
The second ability, Evil Demon Orca Fang, was similar to Dark Devil Thunder—a wide-area attack.
When activated, the spirit bone's energy formed blood-red sigils around Dugu Bo's body, launching toward enemies with massive coverage.
He chose not to test it for now.
Overall, Dugu Bo was quite satisfied with these abilities—
Especially Evil Soul Seizure and Evil Mirror of Annihilation, which were exceptionally powerful.
At present, his second martial soul had only absorbed two spirit rings.
Yet his soul power had already reached nearly Level 97.
At this rate, even without deliberate cultivation, reaching Level 99 would not be difficult.
But what then?
Seek a godhood inheritance?
Dugu Bo felt reluctant.
From what he had seen in his simulations, the gods of the upper realm seemed heavily restricted by their divine positions. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to pass them on.
But if that were the case—why wouldn't they allow him to inherit one?
Was his talent insufficient?
Or was he too old?
Seventy years old… shouldn't mean much to a god.
Wait.
The conclusion that he couldn't inherit a god position came from the simulator.
But what if… it was merely probability?
What if the simulation just happened to land on the outcome where he failed?
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment.
That… was entirely possible.
After all, simulations only represented probabilities. Without trying for himself, he would never know the truth.
Still, all of that could wait.
First—he needed strength.
Once he reached Level 97, there would be no need to remain hidden here. It would be time to venture out again.
For now, cultivation came first.
Level 97 was within reach.
Without hesitation, Dugu Bo tore off his clothes and leaped—
Splash!
—straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As the surface of the spring calmed, his body sank rapidly beneath the water.
Soon, he reached the bottom.
At the center, the spring's core continued to erupt with swirling ice and fire energy, creating immense pressure.
Dugu Bo glanced at it briefly before sitting down not far away.
Enduring the pressure, he began stabilizing his newly advanced cultivation.
A silver glow flickered across his body, dimming and brightening intermittently—an unusual sight.
In the days that followed, Dugu Bo once again devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
Each morning, he practiced Purple Demon Eye.
The rest of his time was spent within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
When he emerged, he hunted nutrient-rich soul beasts within the Sunset Forest to replenish his energy.
His days passed in steady, focused training…

T/N: for information Im bringing down the translations chapter counts to only two because I'm finding it extremely boring now. Plus I'm only translating for the feeling of writing, I myself is not that good of a writer you can see it on my non translated fanfics (translated fanfics are: res dragon emperor on douluo [dropped], honkai star rail: aha, heart to heart [postponed], honkai impact 3rd: question and answer [I fucking forgot the title lol] [postponed]) other than the three you can see that my own writing is heavily carried by AI itself
Now I'm also reading many Chinese cultivation novels (thirty years to the west thirty years to the east don't belittle the struggle of a little man) and I'm finding it extremely boring staying on douluo fandom (which is nearly non existent on internet) but don't worry I will still translate just not as vigorous as before
