[Experiment Log: Taboo (Red) - First 'Forced Sacrifice' Experiment, Failure.]

As the purple light in Chen Hong's eyes slowly faded, he looked at the ancient cave spider whose compound eyes had lost their luster and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The ten-thousand-year-old cave spider, whose consciousness had been obliterated by Chen Hong's Soul Technique: Annihilation of Consciousness, returned to chaos. Despite being lured by Chen Hong's mental power, it was unable to trigger the cave spider's sacrificial conditions.

"Well, I was originally planning to try Qian Daoliu's talent test to reach level 40 in a year, but it seems I won't be able to absorb more soul power from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider." Chen Hong looked at the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider lying prostrate on the ground in front of him, its compound eyes vacant, and finally sighed slightly.

It's probably for the best that forced sacrifice, a technology that can harm people, doesn't succeed, otherwise the world will descend into chaos.

If Chen Hong's best plan were followed, he believed that if he could sacrifice the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider, his soul power level might directly soar from level 30 to level 37 or 38. In short, it would be incredibly powerful.

The soul power within the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider is immense compared to Chen Hong's level 30. Even just one layer of its soul ring could significantly boost Chen Hong's soul power. If a sacrifice procedure were performed, Chen Hong would acquire two layers of the Cave Demon Spider's soul power. If he could fully absorb it, Chen Hong might be able to ascend instantly—no, instantly reach level 40. However, considering Chen Hong's absorption capacity at level 30, he wouldn't be able to absorb all the soul power transferred from the Cave Demon Spider through its soul ring.

After all, according to the normal procedure, a Soul Master who can absorb a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast must start from at least a five-ring Soul King.

"Are you sure you can handle this without any problems?" Behind Chen Hong, Qian Daoliu's eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Chen Hong shook his head: "Teacher Yu Xiaogang recently accomplished something significant. He collaborated with the Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou Sect to preliminarily deduce the formula for Soul Ring age limits. Although there are some errors, the overall accuracy is very high. According to that Soul Ring age limit formula, the maximum age limit for my third Soul Ring is 12150 years. This ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider should have nearly twenty thousand years of cultivation, so theoretically I shouldn't be able to absorb it."

"But as I said, the formula for the age limit of spirit rings that Yu Xiaogang and his team initially deduced still has many aspects that have not been taken into account, such as the strength of the spirit beast's own soul."

"I have forcibly reduced the soul strength of this Cave Demon Spider by a whole realm. While the quality of the soul ring is damaged, the burden on me from the Cave Demon Spider is also greatly reduced. In other words, when I told my senior that I could absorb all soul beasts below the Black 2 realm, it was based on my conservative estimate of the formula in my mind."

If Chen Hong were willing to take a risk, he could even try to absorb the soul beasts of the Black 3 Realm.

Qian Daoliu's eyes widened in shock: "If Yu Xiaogang knew how much you took care of him, he'd be ashamed to death!"

"Alright, with the seniors protecting me, I'll try to absorb it."

Chen Hong shook his head, giving up on trying to persuade the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider to "force it to voluntarily" sacrifice itself. It was clear that the spider was not the kind of person who would listen to reason, nor was it the kind of person who would willingly sacrifice itself for the sake of the Soul Beasts. Chen Hong didn't really have any hope of persuading the Cave Demon Spider, which had a bad reputation among the Soul Beasts, to sacrifice itself voluntarily.

Behind Chen Hong, two layers of purple light halos were inlaid, eventually combining to form a dazzling purple wheel. However, compared to Qian Daoliu's Angel Martial Soul Wheel, which displayed his own holy six-winged angel pattern in the center, Chen Hong's purple wheel was completely empty, with no pattern visible.

"Telekinesis, let me see what kind of existence you truly are!"

Chen Hong murmured to himself, then a powerful spiritual light burst forth from his black eyes, shooting out a beam of spiritual light. The pure white spiritual flame, carrying a strong spiritual impact, attacked the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider, whose mind had been greatly weakened, whose soul realm had declined, and whose body was unable to move!

Then, the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider began to tremble uncontrollably, pure white flames constantly climbing onto its body. Its soul's instinctive defenses were completely dismantled by Chen Hong. Then, a sharp mental shockwave struck instantly, directly piercing and shattering the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider's soul, which was mired in countless negative states!

click!

A crisp sound rang in everyone's ears. Then, the ten-thousand-year-old cave spider, which had been suppressed by the killing intent of the Super Douluo and was crawling under an ancient tree, suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground. A black soul ring with a faint purple hue slowly appeared on the ten-thousand-year-old cave spider.

Chen Hong's soul technique was terrifyingly damaging to soul beasts, creatures that are inherently lacking in soul resistance. Chen Hong forcibly removed the soul of the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider, which directly reduced the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider's realm from nearly Black 2 to barely Black 1.

"Your first soul skill is Spiritual Permanence. Your second soul skill is Overclocking. So I'm curious, do non-spiritual soul beasts still have a spiritual soul skill attached to them? If so, then I can roughly guess your identity."

Under the watchful eyes of Qian Daoliu and the others, Chen Hong slowly walked towards the corpse of the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider. After getting closer, he stretched out his palm and reached out towards the black soul ring that had appeared on the Ten Thousand Year Cave Demon Spider's body.

Buzz.

As Chen Hong's finger, imbued with his martial soul power, gently touched the edge of the black spirit ring, he seemed to hear a crisp buzzing sound. Then, a powerful suction force came from his finger, directly drawing the black spirit ring into Chen Hong's palm.

Subsequently

To the astonishment of Qian Daoliu and the others, an invisible wave seemed to suddenly surge from Chen Hong's body. A massive, indescribable, and unobservable invisible beast surged out from behind Chen Hong. In everyone's vague perception, it seemed to be an invisible monster with countless tiny tentacles and a body shape that was almost like a ball of air. Suddenly, it opened its blood-red maw, its sharp teeth drawing an arc in the air, and then accurately swallowed the black soul ring that appeared in Chen Hong's palm!

Refining?!

Deng!

The outermost edge of the double purple roulette wheel that appeared behind Chen Hong suddenly exploded with a black outer ring!

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of soul power began to emanate from Chen Hong's body, and Chen Hong's soul power aura also began to increase.

After waiting for half an hour, Chen Hong's soul power finally calmed down at level 34, just before breaking through to level 35.

Chen Hong slightly raised his hand, and a black soul ring appeared in his hand. With a flash of black light, Chen Hong's expression suddenly changed!
