Above the wetlands.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood frozen in shock.
"Yue Guan, where is the Unicorn Earthworm!" Ghost Douluo’s body was ethereal, only his eyeballs glaring brightly.
"That aura just now—it must have evolved into a 100,000-Year Soul Beast. Could it have discovered our setup after evolving and run away on its own!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo’s head buzzed, feeling as if he were dreaming!
"What are we waiting for, Yue Guan? Hurry up and search! We’re going to be killed by this Unicorn Earthworm!"
Ghost Douluo shouted loudly.
His spiritual power imdiately spread out, swirling around the wetlands.
Chrysanthemum Douluo also began transmitting sound through compressed air, sending ssages to the Spirit Hall Soul Masters on alert duty nearby.
Then he descended himself, carefully inspecting the original burrow of the Unicorn Earthworm.
His spiritual power left no trace unchecked.
Finally, on the ground inside the burrow, he discovered a patch of soil that seed different from the surrounding earth.
"Could this Unicorn Earthworm have burrowed underground!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly extended his spiritual power deep underground for exploration. This investigation imdiately revealed areas of soft soil below.
After all, Dugu Feng had left in haste, with no ti to cover his tracks.
This further convinced Chrysanthemum Douluo that the Unicorn Earthworm had escaped through underground ans!
It never occurred to him that another Soul Master might have captured the Unicorn Earthworm.
After all, it was a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
Even Bibi Dong couldn’t instantly kill a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
And only a few breaths had passed between them detecting the Unicorn Earthworm’s evolution aura and coming to investigate.
Who could possibly capture the Unicorn Earthworm that quickly!
Chrysanthemum Douluo continuously probed with his spiritual power, but reached his limit without finding any trace of the Unicorn Earthworm.
At that mont, in the sky above.
Bibi Dong arrived.
She had absorbed a 100,000-Year Soul Beast before—she would never mistake that aura.
That Unicorn Earthworm must have successfully evolved.
"Your Holiness, there are traces of the Unicorn Earthworm’s disappearance underground. It must have discovered us after evolving to the 100,000-year level and imdiately fled!" Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly reported.
A black light flashed as Ghost Douluo flew back, saying helplessly, "Your Holiness, I’ve searched through Death Canyon and found nothing unusual!"
Bibi Dong’s face darkened like still water.
"Trying to run? After I fed you for so long, I won’t let you off that easily!"
She swayed slightly, and a dark green spiderweb pattern appeared on her forehead.
Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Avatar.
Then her third spirit ring lit up as she once again activated the Demon Spider Summoning skill.
A circle of dark green light spread out and transford into illusory poisonous spiders.
These poisonous spiders possessed a special ability—they could lock onto any unfamiliar scent.
After appearing, these spiders imdiately spread throughout the wetlands.
Then they began expanding across the entire Death Canyon.
"There’s traces of human presence!" Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, rage bursting forth as if her entire body were about to explode.
The worst-case scenario had materialized.
Soone had been here.
"Who could possibly capture a 100,000-Year Soul Beast instantly!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said incredulously.
Bibi Dong similarly found it hard to believe, but the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider’s detection could never be wrong.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider could clearly distinguish between humans and soul beasts.
"Are you doubting my Soul Skill!"
Bibi Dong could no longer restrain herself.
Her icy gaze fixed upon Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Terrified, Yue Guan and Gui i imdiately dropped to their knees, prostrating themselves.
Neither had ever seen Bibi Dong this furious before.
"Find him!" Bibi Dong roared.
Yue Guan and Gui i instantly flew away, knowing better than to provoke her further at this mont.
After their departure, Bibi Dong sat cross-legged, channeling her spiritual energy into the Soul-Devouring Demon Spiders, frantically expanding her perception.
Ti passed, yet despite exhausting her spiritual energy, she detected nothing.
She swiftly rose and flew toward the edge of Death Canyon.
Her terrifying spiritual energy, combined with the Soul-Devouring Demon Spiders, continuously widened the search radius.
As ti ticked by, Bibi Dong’s expression grew increasingly desolate.
Nothing. She found absolutely nothing!
These Soul-Devouring Demon Spiders were ford from death energy and her own Soul Power, allowing them to rapidly reach any area saturated with death energy—faster even than a Titled Douluo.
In just this short ti, they had already spread dozens of miles beyond Death Canyon.
Yet, there was still no trace.
Expressionless, Bibi Dong flew directly above the ravine where the Cave Demon Spider resided.
Gazing down at the dazzling black Spirit Ring below, she felt no excitent.
A 90,000-year Spirit Ring had lost all its appeal!
Why hadn’t she waited a little longer? Why hadn’t she verified the Unicorn Earthworm’s evolution imdiately upon arriving at Death Canyon?
Regret gnawed at Bibi Dong, twisting her insides.
Only a few minutes remained until the hour would pass.
The newly ford Spirit Ring below would soon vanish, forcing her to abandon the search.
The 100,000-Year Soul Beast was already gone. If she lost the 90,000-year one too, she would have nowhere to vent her despair.
Taking a deep breath, Bibi Dong resentfully extended her hand, summoning the Spirit Ring. For now, absorbing it was her only option.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Feng landed on a giant tree.
Death Canyon lay south of Spirit City, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest.
After fleeing Death Canyon, Dugu Feng raced straight here without stopping.
Now, he was safe.
He had no fear of Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo pursuing him.
The two Erald Dragon Snakes had instinctively taken up guard positions around him.
With fiery eyes, Dugu Feng patted the cloth pouch at his waist.
A massive block of ice, several ters wide, appeared on the tree branch—the frozen Unicorn Earthworm.
"Die!"
The Overlord Venom unleashed its final surge of power.
Still encased in ice, the Unicorn Earthworm completely lost its life.
The poor creature, having just evolved into a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, had no chance to savor its new strength before Dugu Feng ended it.
Crimson energy began to gather.
Vibrant, blood-red energy coalesced above the ice crystal, forming a scarlet cloud.
Without hesitation, Dugu Feng issued a summoning call.
The red energy descended from the sky, enveloping him in its radiance.
Boom!
His consciousness was violently ejected from his body, as if his soul had left its shell.
The energy of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast’s Spirit Ring exceeded Dugu Feng’s expectations.
Its sheer volu was staggering.
Like a raging river surging eastward, it scoured his entire being.
"If you are the river, I am the unyielding rock!"
Dugu Feng’s heart was as firm as forged tal.
He trusted his body to withstand this torrential impact.
This was yet another trial to temper him.
The energy of the Spirit Ring and the soul impact ca one after another. Dugu Feng relied on his physical strength and the resilience of his Sea of Spirit to resist them.
In the past, the true challenge of absorbing a Spirit Ring had always been the process of toxin fusion. But this ti, his Overlord Venom had already taken form. The toxins of the Unicorn Earthworm would only be assimilated by the Overlord Venom, producing an even stronger version of it.
For Dugu Feng, there was no difficulty in this.
As long as his body held on, it ant success.
