Chapter 111: Refining the Power of the Evil God, Soul Skill Evolution, and the Man with the Buzzcut

Ever since the day he obtained the external soul bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Dai Chengfeng had been studying it. 

Ultimately, Dai Chengfeng discovered… 

The Wings of the Evil God were exactly as he had initially suspected—not a solid soul bone, but rather a form of power. 

Similar to how the Evil God's influence had seeped into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it was a force that entered its body. 

Thus, Dai Chengfeng had pondered: if he could fuse this power with his own soul rings, might it not only increase the years of his soul rings in the future, but also allow him to fully control the Life-and-Death Arena once the power was completely refined? 

He would no longer need to worry about being stripped of the protective power of the Evil God within the Life-and-Death Arena, reverting him to the form of a six-year-old child like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 

However, until now… 

Neither the first soul ring of the Metal Beast nor the second soul ring of the Emperor Blood Tiger had attributes compatible with the power of the Evil God, which was why Dai Chengfeng had delayed taking action. 

It wasn't until he obtained the soul ring of the Nine Nether Azure Phoenix—imbued with dark attributes and sharing a slight compatibility with the power of the Evil God—that his research finally made significant progress. 

"Unfortunately, my current soul power is still too weak. Fully refining the power of the Evil God remains unrealistic…" 

"But refining a small portion is entirely possible!" 

"Sigh!"

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath, his heart filled with both anticipation and a hint of unease. 

After all, this was an unprecedented and bold attempt. 

Much like when he had boldly shattered the lofty celestial throne, rejecting the opportunity to ascend to godhood. 

Unprecedented, perhaps never to be repeated again! 

"Even if I fail and the power of the Evil God disappears entirely…" 

"Still, whether it's the power of Asura or the power of the Evil God, they are ultimately just my 'tools.'" 

"My core will always be my White Tiger martial spirit!" 

"As long as my White Tiger martial spirit isn't affected… Let's do this!" 

Dai Chengfeng no longer hesitated. He began using the power of Asura to "cut and separate" the Wings of the Evil God. 

Though called "cutting," the essence of the process was the extraction of power… 

Time passed silently and slowly. 

Outside the carriage, the gates of Nuoding City bustled with carriages and crowds, noisy and chaotic. 

Inside the carriage, however, Dai Chengfeng seemed cut off from the outside world, completely immersed in his own realm, fully focused on attempting to fuse the two powers: his soul ring and the power of the Evil God. 

Dai Chengfeng could even clearly hear his own heartbeat, growing increasingly tense and rapid. 

"Now!" 

As the extracted sliver of the Evil God's power came into contact with his third soul ring, Dai Chengfeng let out a low exclamation. 

The power of Asura surged within him like a violent tide, rushing into the depths of that sliver of the Evil God's power. 

However, the moment the power of the Evil God encountered the power of Asura, it erupted with fierce resistance. 

Dai Chengfeng felt as though countless sharp wails echoed within his consciousness—the instinctive defiance of the Evil God's power. 

But… 

The power of Asura was born for the ultimate destruction and annihilation. 

Moreover, the sliver of Asura power Dai Chengfeng possessed did not come from the God of Asura—it originated from the most fundamental laws of the Douluo World. 

Thus, the unclaimed power of the Evil God was utterly powerless against the might of Asura. 

As the power of Asura relentlessly crushed the instinctual consciousness within the power of the Evil God… 

"It's done!" 

An indescribable joy surged through Dai Chengfeng's heart. 

At this moment, the deep purple glow of his nine-thousand-year third soul ring had subtly taken on traces of black, spreading like ink in water, strikingly conspicuous. 

9,999 years! 

Simultaneously, the Nine Nether Dark Wind Wings on Dai Chengfeng's back were completely saturated with an inky-black aura. 

Then, the originally several-meter-long Nine Nether Dark Wind Wings suddenly expanded to over ten meters. A single wing alone was enough to envelop Dai Chengfeng entirely.

An overwhelming pressure, like a tsunami, shook the surrounding air. 

Bam—

The next second, the frame of the carriage shattered, splinters flying everywhere. 

A black gale erupted, centered on Dai Chengfeng, wreaking havoc in all directions. 

Many people waiting in line at the gates of Nuoding City were violently knocked down by the sudden black wind. Even those with stronger cultivation squinted their eyes against the force. 

Stalls were uprooted, goods scattered into the air—fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities were swept up and smashed to pieces upon hitting the ground. 

Roar—

Dai Chengfeng was lifted high into the air, his White Tiger martial spirit roaring to the heavens behind him. 

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The Nine Nether Dark Wind Wings behind Dai Chengfeng flapped continuously, each movement amplifying the ferocity of the black gale. 

Finally, Dai Chengfeng snapped out of his astonishment. 

With a wave of his hand, the gale subsided, and he gently descended back to the ground. 

Yet, his eyes still gleamed with unconcealed excitement. 

"Although the Wings of the Evil God have disappeared, I can now unleash the Life-and-Death Arena through my third soul skill, the Nine Nether Dark Wind Wings, with greater concealment and faster activation!" 

"And most importantly…"

"I no longer need to worry about reverting to a six-year-old form within the Life-and-Death Arena!"

Dai Chengfeng muttered softly to himself, his voice brimming with immense satisfaction.

Not far away, Zhu Fan and the others were left stunned by this sudden turn of events, frozen in place. 

Only after the gale gradually subsided and Dai Chengfeng returned to the ground did they finally snap out of their daze. 

"Chengfeng, what happened?" 

Zhu Fan's eyes were filled with curiosity. 

Beside him, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Ye Renxin chimed in, "Yeah, Chengfeng, are you alright?" 

Only Dugu Bo, the strongest among them, remained standing in place, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief. 

As a Title Douluo, his perception of power was extremely acute. Just moments ago, he had sensed a terrifying force emanating from Dai Chengfeng—one that made even him instinctively tremble… 

"Hiss! How is this possible?" 

Dugu Bo muttered under his breath, "Prince Chengfeng is merely a Soul Elder, yet he possesses a power so fearsome that even I am terrified?!" 

In response to everyone's inquiries, Dai Chengfeng simply smiled faintly. "It's nothing—just an evolution of my soul skill." 

With that, he turned to his uncle. "Uncle, handle the aftermath." 

Then, he shifted his gaze to Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin. "Elder Dugu Bo, Elder Ye, let's enter the city. No need to block the entrance here." 

Dugu Bo's gaze remained fixed intently on Dai Chengfeng, trying to discern something from his expression. But Dai Chengfeng's demeanor was calm, revealing nothing. 

In the end, Dugu Bo gave a slight nod. Since Dai Chengfeng didn't wish to elaborate, he refrained from asking further. 

Internally, however, he couldn't help but sigh quietly: 'How many secrets does this young man, Dai Chengfeng, truly hide?'

Soon, Dai Chengfeng led Dugu Bo, Ye Renxin, and the others toward the interior of Nuoding City.

Meanwhile,

Not far from the gates, a middle-aged man dressed in black clothes, wearing cloth shoes, sporting a beard, and a buzzcut hairstyle clumsily got up from the ground, brushing the dirt off his clothes. 

With a look of surprise, he watched Dai Chengfeng's retreating figure.
