Chapter 191: Three Self-Created Spirit Skills
"Cold poison!"
At Dugu Feng's command, a layer of icy frost instantly spread three meters around him.
"The Cold Poison Domain—just as Father predicted. With the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass as the core and my inner cold poison as energy, I can form a domain of frost and venom!"
He paused, sensing its properties.
"This domain enhances and restricts… and it can even merge with the Killing God Domain!"
He smiled faintly. "So the heavenly herb is sentient—it helps cultivation, grants domain power, and strengthens the body. Truly, one herb with multiple benefits."
Exhaling, Dugu Feng allowed the frost to fade. In its place, a pale, sinister world emerged.
Cold wind swept through the Ice-Fire Valley, carrying the oppressive aura of slaughter and desolation, forming a unique world of killing intent and frost.
Everything around him froze solid—every flower, every blade of grass—stilled under his suffocating domain.
The endless killing intent in his eyes flickered dangerously.
He lifted his hands.
Dozens of white rays burst forth—slamming into the nearby rock walls with terrifying sharpness.
"Slaughter Twelve Fingers!"
Spinning once on the spot, forty-eight strikes of killing light erupted around him.
"These finger strikes contain greater offensive power than the Jade Phosphor Twelve Fingers… but still, not enough!"
"Shura Killing Formation!"
His loud shout echoed through the valley as the light within the Killing God Domain began to whirl violently.
The shrieking sound of cutting wind pierced his own eardrums—an indication of just how fast the energy spun.
The blades of murderous aura formed a vortex around him, rotating faster and faster until reality itself seemed to blur.
By the time it reached full speed, the whirl of glow and killing intent had severed Dugu Feng from the world outside, enclosing him in a storm of slaughter.
The power it released was terrifying—an energy of annihilation capable of erasing all within reach.
Any enemy, any attack, that entered the radius would be shredded to dust.
A large-scale technique of pure destruction.
"If I treat the Killing God Domain as my second martial soul, and killing energy as its spirit power, then my aura reserves are no less than my spirit energy.
And this energy is even more offensive than soul power—it damages both body and mind. In battle, it will be my trump card!"
Dugu Feng gradually dispersed the Killing God Domain.
His purpose in cultivating here had been achieved.
This was the result of his relentless practice—combining the steady growth of his spirit power with the refinement of his killing domain.
He had not only broken through in spirit rank but also subdued the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
And from his deep understanding of the domain, he had birthed three self-created techniques.
Slaughter Rush, Slaughter Twelve Fingers, and Shura Killing Formation.
"Perfect."
Still, he knew the Killing God Domain must advance faster.
After all, he would one day fight for the Shura Demon Sword itself.
There could be no leniency in honing his killing energy.
He calculated the time—it should be the start of the promotion matches now.
Half a month remained before heading to Spirit City.
Wiping a hand across his waist, he carefully stored the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass back into its pouch, then sat to cultivate again.
This time, his goal was the Fiery Apricot.
Having claimed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, his next step was conquering its opposite.
Opening eight spider legs from his back, he planted them into the ground, advancing closer to the burning hot spring of the Ice-Fire Well.
The sharp limbs glistened with hints of crimson light—fire poison.
During his time cultivating here, his Scorpion Claws had naturally absorbed the cold poison while the spider spears stored the fiery poison instead, slowly shifting toward a fire attribute evolution.
Yet his body was still adapting. The Scarlet-Eyed Ice Toad soul ring had improved his heat tolerance somewhat, but he remained far stronger with cold energy than flame.
After all, his second spirit ring had exposed him to ice long ago.
To refine this supreme fire poison would be no easier than taming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass itself.
Quietly, Dugu Feng immersed himself in meditation once more.
In the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well, he no longer noticed the passage of time.
When hunger came, he relied on the stored meat of spirit beasts in his spatial soul guide.
For thirst, he drank beast blood.
Fatigue? There was none. Only endless cultivation.
As night fell, two translucent snake shadows descended from the sky.
Whoosh!
Two crystal-like snake gallbladders dropped into his palms.
He bit into one, the juice bursting in his mouth—a mix of bitterness and sweetness.
The two snake spirits hovered above, hissing happily as they circled him.
Dugu Feng chuckled. "So, you two still have some conscience! Off gallivanting for days, yet you remember to bring me snacks!"
Stretching out his hands, the Emerald Dragon Snakes coiled themselves lazily around his wrists.
Even after twenty thousand years, their bodies remained sleek and slender, their translucence like faint emerald glass.
Together, they ruled the Sunset Forest—no creature dared challenge them.
"Master, we found a fifty-thousand-year Skytiger! We hid among its fur, and it never noticed!"
"We've explored every strong spirit beast in the forest—they're all too stupid!"
"When can we go to Star Dou Forest?"
The serpents began boasting excitedly.
Their bodies were nearly invisible, paper-thin, and almost immaterial. With every advancement, their natural stealth had become even greater, an innate cloaking ability born with them.
Even Dugu Feng envied them. They trained merely by hunting freely, growing stronger without constraint—a carefree existence in the forest.
"Star Dou Forest isn't a playground for you two," he said with a flick of his finger, making them settle quietly.
That forest housed beings far beyond them—Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, even the Dark Devilgod Tiger.
They weren't ready for that yet.
After spending some time playing with the serpents, Dugu Feng returned to his meditation.
And so, the days passed, until it was time to leave for Spirit City.
From the Sunset Forest, Dugu Feng emerged before the gates of Heaven Dou City.
On the grand road outside, fifteen luxurious carriages lined up in formation, ready to depart.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe stood at the gate to greet the competitors personally.
Each academy's leader and students were welcomed in turn by the prince and escorted to their carriages with royal courtesy.
Her demeanor pleased everyone—she bestowed the highest dignity upon them.
Then her gaze sharpened as she noticed him. A glimmer flickered in her eyes as though she had discovered something extraordinary.
Surprise rippled through her heart.
Such powerful chill… this was not from his Jade Phosphor Snake spirit.
Could it be—his Killing God Domain had evolved again?
In Qian Renxue's perception, the icy aura emanating from Dugu Feng was as sharp and oppressive as facing the Serpent Spear Douluo himself—cold, honed, and deadly.
