Ye Feng had come here for two reasons: one was for the Immortal Herbs, and the other was for the two Dragon Souls buried beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Over the years, the Dragon Bodies and Dragon Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had long since merged with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. If they were forcibly extracted, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would be destroyed, and the Dragon Bodies would be ruined as well.
Thus, only the Dragon Souls could be extracted. If he could absorb them, it would undoubtedly accelerate the unsealing of his bloodline.
"This Sunset Forest is truly harsh. The environment is far worse than the Star Dou Great Forest," Zi Ji, walking ahead, muttered with a slight pout.
She clearly looked down on the environment here, and even more so on the Soul Beasts.
"It's just a difference in geographical location. The Star Dou Great Forest's location is the most suitable for Soul Beasts to thrive and multiply. The Sunset Forest is actually not that bad. Although the environment is harsh, the Soul Beasts here are top-tier hunters, and their combat power is much higher than those of the same age in the Star Dou Great Forest," Bi Ji explained with a gentle smile.
Bi Ji's personality was mild and kind, and her tone of voice was soft and pleasant to the ear.
"Young Master, how could there possibly be treasures in a place like this? You must have been deceived. I used my spiritual senses to probe the surroundings and found nothing special."
Zi Ji said with a hint of boredom.
Compared to this dull adventure, she preferred to stick close to Ye Feng or play some adult games.
"That treasure site has an aura that conceals it and can interfere with spiritual senses. It's normal that Sister Zi Ji couldn't detect it. We should be close now and will arrive soon."
Ye Feng said with a smile.
As they ventured deeper, the aura of the two Dragon Souls grew increasingly intense, continuously drawing him in.
The three of them passed through layers of dense forest and finally arrived before a massive hill.
The hill was a hundred meters tall, covered in lush, towering trees, making it particularly striking.
Moreover, the hilltop was enveloped in a thin layer of emerald-green mist, emitting an aura that kept the surrounding Soul Beasts at bay.
"What a peculiar hill. It seems there's a rather powerful being living inside."
Zi Ji licked her lips, sensing the presence within through her powerful perception.
If Zi Ji could sense the strong being inside, the being inside could naturally sense the situation outside as well.
"Whoosh—"
At that moment, a figure shot up from the hilltop.
The three of them slightly raised their heads and saw an elderly man in an emerald-green robe standing on the distant hilltop.
The old man appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, with green hair and eyes that also carried a green hue, giving him an overall sinister appearance.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into my territory? Are you seeking death?"
The old man's tone was cold, filled with thick killing intent. Behind him, nine Soul Rings manifested, showcasing his formidable strength. Clearly, this was a Titled Douluo! After all, this was Dugu Bo's forbidden land, containing numerous Natural Treasures. If others discovered it, there was no telling when it might be raided.
Generally, facing Soul Masters who dared to intrude like this, he would undoubtedly kill them on the spot.
However, this time, Dugu Bo inexplicably felt a trace of threat, which was why he didn't act immediately.
"Giggle~ A mere scaly snake dares to speak to me like this? Truly courting death~"
At that moment, a soft, mocking laugh rang out.
Zi Ji soared into the air, her height surpassing Dugu Bo by a significant margin.
She unleashed her aura, with nine Soul Rings slowly rotating behind her, and she didn't hold back in releasing the terrifying presence of the Hell Demon Dragon King.
As a Great Beast, transforming into a human was effortless for her, and creating fake Soul Rings was also something she could do with ease. As long as she didn't go all out, no one below the level of a Limit Douluo would be able to see through her disguise.
While suppressing her strength, Zi Ji's aura also diminished, barely reaching the level of a Titled Douluo. However, even so, bullying a mere Dugu Bo would be no problem at all.
"A Titled Douluo!"
Sure enough, when Dugu Bo saw this, he was immediately horrified, as he could feel that the opponent's aura was no weaker than his own.
Not only that, but the opponent's Martial Soul was actually a dragon-type Martial Soul, which naturally suppressed him! His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor only had a trace of dragon bloodline, while the opponent's Martial Soul was a true dragon.
"Who exactly are you? This is my territory in the Sunset Forest. Isn't it a bit impolite for you to barge in with others like this?"
"Moreover, we are both Titled Douluos. Isn't it a bit disrespectful for you to insult me right from the start?"
However, despite his shock, Dugu Bo remained unyielding.
As his words fell, Dugu Bo directly summoned his Martial Soul Avatar.
"Buzz—"
In the next moment, Dugu Bo transformed into a massive Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, coiling around the mountain peak. A terrifying cloud of Poison instantly spread out, completely engulfing the entire mountain and rapidly surging toward Ye Feng's direction.
The reason Dugu Bo was famous wasn't just because of his strength, but also because of his terrifying Poison.
He could tell that the young man below seemed to be very important to this suddenly appearing Titled Douluo woman.
If a real fight broke out, even if he couldn't defeat her, he could definitely spread his Poison and then use the young man to threaten her.
This was the real reason why Dugu Bo was so famous on the continent.
Of course, Dugu Bo's plan wasn't flawed, but this time he had the Bad Luck of encountering Zi Ji and Bi Ji…
The Poison that surged toward Ye Feng and Bi Ji was effortlessly blocked by Bi Ji.
And Dugu Bo's actions thoroughly enraged Zi Ji.
"A mere worm dares to lay hands on the Young Master? You've already chosen the path to death!"
Without hesitation, she instantly transformed into a massive black dragon.
The dragon was dozens of meters long, its body wreathed in dark demonic flames, and its vertical purple pupils radiated a terrifying ferocity.
"Roar—"
Zi Ji let out a furious roar and directly unleashed a "War Stomp" toward Dugu Bo, clearly enraged to the extreme.
"A… a Demon Dragon! What kind of monster are you?!"
When Dugu Bo saw her Martial Soul Avatar, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
If the opponent had been an ordinary sub-dragon or pseudo-dragon, he might have been able to put up some resistance. Even if he couldn't win, it wouldn't have been too disastrous.
But now he realized that the opponent's Martial Soul was actually a purebred Demon Dragon! How could he possibly fight this? "Medusa's Gaze!"
"Time Freeze!!"
However, although Dugu Bo was inwardly shocked, the formidable combat awareness of a Titled Douluo allowed him to react swiftly. Without hesitation, he unleashed his most powerful attacks and defenses.
