The tips of the eight wings appeared extremely sharp, like sword edges, while inside the wings, the original golden patterns resembled Devouring Golden Threads, with golden streams of light flowing across them.
These turned out to be hollow channels finer than strands of hair, densely covering the eight wings. Dugu Feng immediately thought of the meridians and blood vessels within his own body.
Particularly the meridians in his calves, where the flowing blood could unleash tremendous power.
The fine channels on the Spider Emperor Wings were similar—the flowing light within them brimmed with extreme Fire Poison, precisely the fire-attribute energy and Deadly Poison of the Eight Spider Lances.
"If I were to use Devouring Golden Threads now, these channels would function like human meridians, pumping like water pumps and displaying immense suction power!"
Dugu Feng shuddered slightly. The Spider Emperor Eight Wings might look dazzling and radiant, but in terms of devouring and killing, they were undoubtedly an art form.
Dugu Feng raised his hand and gently stroked the wings on his back—smooth and soft, no different from real wings.
He attempted to control the wings to stretch out, and his body soared upward like a great bird.
This was true flight.
Far more fluid and natural than the flight granted by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
They were simply not on the same level.
Winged flight was in a class of its own.
Dugu Feng's body transformed into a streak of light, soaring upward! Upward! Ever upward.
He had already reached an altitude of twenty thousand meters.
The air grew extremely thin.
At this height, even Titled Douluo could not linger for long, as their flight relied on powerful Soul Power to manipulate air currents, lacking both speed and endurance.
Thus, once they reached such high altitudes with thin air, sustained flight became difficult.
But Dugu Feng was flying with genuine wings—large wings akin to those of a giant eagle.
He recalled that Bibi Dong's wings were small, enabling her to fly swiftly and maneuver at low altitudes—completely different from his own massive wings.
His giant wings shimmered, drifting entirely with the wind, covering several kilometers in a single flash.
These Spider Emperor Wings were incredibly effective.
Suddenly, Dugu Feng thought of how Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had transformed into Sea God Eight Wings after he became the Sea God, and a peculiar smile crossed his face.
The Sea God must have directly modified those Eight Spider Lances!
The Spider God likely stood no chance against the Sea God, with no possibility of competing for an inheritor.
"Dugu Feng, you have cultivated Spider Emperor Wings of divine artifact caliber, completing my preliminary trial. You shall become my inheritor, with the potential to inherit the great Spider God Godhood.
What follows is your ultimate trial: refine the Spider Emperor Wings into Spider God Eight Wings. Strive, young man, I await you!"
A cold shout echoed in his mind as the Spider God spoke again, the words almost identical to the last time.
This wouldn't do. Where was the reward? Where was the reward? Since I've passed your preliminary trial, there must be a reward!
As this thought crossed his mind, Dugu Feng's blood suddenly surged with fervor. Asura Power emerged, flowing with his blood throughout his body and into the Spider Emperor Wings.
It coursed through the cloud-like patterns within them.
Dugu Feng's Asura Will, which he had been cultivating all along, immediately manifested. Dugu Feng anxiously said, "Great Spider God, as far as I know, completing a God Test comes with substantial rewards. Since I have passed your preliminary test, what about the reward?"
He sensed that this Spider God was too aloof and seemed about to leave again, so he hurriedly displayed his Asura Power to let the Spider God see it.
"You humans are so troublesome.
My Spider God Test isn't as complicated as the inheritances of your human Deities, with their nine tests or seven tests.
I only have three tests. The first test, Spider Emperor Wings, you have already completed.
The second test is Spider God Eight Wings, and the third test is reaching level 100 to become a Deity and inherit the Godhood.
What? You want a reward?
No one dares to ask me for rewards! Only inheritors offer me blood sacrifices!
You... Huh? Asura..."
At this point, the Spider God suddenly fell silent.
Dugu Feng chuckled inwardly, certain that the other had detected the Asura Power.
"How do you have the Asura God's inheritance on you?" the Spider God finally spoke again.
"Asura God? I don't understand what you mean, Lord Spider God. Are you referring to the Asura Domain?"
A blood-red Killing Intent erupted, and a overwhelming Slaughter Aura swirled around Dugu Feng.
"Exactly!"
"Lord, this is something I gained from passing a trial in a peculiar place on the continent. Could it also be a Deity's inheritance?" Dugu Feng played dumb.
The Spider God was inwardly cursing. Finally, there was an inheritor who had cultivated Spider Emperor Wings, but it turned out he had also passed the Asura God's preliminary test.
However, he had heard that the Asura God's method of seeking inheritors was more haphazard.
It was like casting a wide net.
This human before him probably hadn't even caught the Asura God's attention yet.
The Spider God began to regard Dugu Feng seriously. So young, yet truly a genius!
He felt extremely conflicted. If the Asura God snatched him away later, all his efforts in nurturing him would be wasted!
Forget it, he might as well give some benefits first. The Asura God hadn't noticed him yet!
A day in the God Realm is a year on the mortal plane, and the Asura God is so busy. Hopefully, he can pass my tests before the Asura God takes notice.
"Dugu Feng, you are indeed incredibly fortunate. Not only have you received my inheritance, but you may also inherit the Asura God's legacy.
Seize this opportunity and cultivate diligently, understand?" the Spider God said sternly.
"Yes, Lord. What about the reward?"
"Take it!"
A cold shout echoed as a purple pearl struck Dugu Feng's head.
The pearl burst, and boundless energy poured into him.
Dugu Feng was overjoyed—a God-given Soul Ring.
Exactly what he needed most.
This saved him the trouble of searching for a 100,000-Year Soul Beast!
Dugu Feng aimed to reach the pinnacle in the path of poison, so his eighth Spirit Ring naturally had to be a poison-attribute one.
But until now, he hadn't found a 100,000-Year poison-attribute Soul Beast.
He never expected to receive a God-given Soul Ring now.
A God-given Soul Ring would undoubtedly be the most suitable for a Soul Master and would produce the most needed Soul Skill. For Dugu Feng, it would naturally generate a poison-related Soul Skill.
Dugu Feng spread his eight wings behind him, diving down and accurately landing in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
All his External Soul Bones emerged, with two Crab Claws and a Fox Tail breaking through his body.
The five Soul Bones on his body also emitted a faint halo, instantly maximizing his physical strength.
Under these conditions, the energy level of the Soul Ring released by the purple pearl instantly surpassed that of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
Terrifying energy permeated every corner of his body.
Moreover, the energy was saturated with deadly poison.
Its toxicity surpassed any he had encountered when absorbing Spirit Rings.
"Dugu Feng, I can see your obsession with poison. In the God Realm, among all Deities who wield poison, if I claim to be second, none dare call themselves first.
Comprehend it carefully—my Spider God Poison!
I await you!"
The Spider God's voice gradually faded into the distance.
