Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Poison Array

The moment the words fell—

"Boom!"

A terrifying pressure descended like a collapsing mountain and a surging tsunami!

The aura of a Titled Douluo was released without reservation, and the air in the entire valley seemed to become viscous and heavy. The gravel on the ground trembled slightly, and the rotation speed of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well seemed to slow down a beat.

Liu Erlong stepped forward, blocking the three of them.

Dark red Soul Power surged from her body, her Soul Sage-level pressure fully unleashed, forcefully creating a space within Dugu Bo's abyss-like pressure. The two auras collided in the air, emitting a silent roar.

And Yu Tiancheng—

He stood in place, his expression calm, not even his clothes fluttering.

It wasn't that he couldn't feel the pressure.

On the contrary, the aura of a Titled Douluo pressed down on him like a physical entity, every inch of his skin screaming, every bone trembling. But the Time Dragon Emperor Martial Soul within his body hummed slightly, a power from its origin quietly flowed, subtly resolving and redirecting the external pressure.

This was not a contest of strength, but a difference in the essence of their Martial Souls.

Facing Dugu Bo's vertical pupils that seemed capable of piercing the soul, Yu Tiancheng slowly bowed and paid his respects.

"Junior Yu Tiancheng greets Senior Poison Douluo."

His voice was calm and clear, sounding exceptionally abrupt in the valley shrouded by pressure.

Then he looked up, directly into those pair of emerald green snake eyes, and said word by word:

"Poison, I can resolve it."

"But before I treat it, I have a condition."

Dugu Bo's vertical pupils locked onto Yu Tiancheng, the killing intent in the air almost solidifying.

"A condition?" he asked, his hoarse voice laced with bone-chilling coldness, "Boy, do you not understand the situation? You are begging me to let you treat it, not the other way around."

Yu Tiancheng's expression remained unchanged: "Senior misunderstands. I came here, firstly, at the request of Miss Dugu, and secondly, for some herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This is a transaction, not charity."

"A transaction?" Dugu Bo laughed, a dry and unpleasant sound, "With you, a mere twenty-level Soul Master, you dare to talk about transactions with me?"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve.

"Buzz—"

Centered on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, seven layers of poisonous mist of different colors surged like a tide, spreading layer upon layer at the valley entrance.

Each layer of poisonous mist exuded a different dangerous aura; some had a pungent stench, some were colorless and odorless, and some even carried a strange sweet fragrance.

"This is the 'Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Poison Array' that I laid down with the origin poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor,"

Dugu Bo said coldly, "Seven types of potent poisons layered upon each other: corrosive, paralyzing, bone-eating, heart-burning, spirit-disrupting, soul-severing, and life-extinguishing. Below the Titled Douluo level, without an antidote, entering it means certain death. Didn't you boast of inheriting the Myriad Poisons True Scripture? Then let me see how much substance your inheritance has—pass through this seven-layered poison array and walk before me."

"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan said anxiously, "You usually don't let me near this array, and Yu Tiancheng is only level twenty-something..."

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, the coldness in his vertical pupils softening slightly, "Yan'er, if he can't even break this array, how can he resolve the poison on you and me?"

He looked back at Yu Tiancheng, saying indifferently, "Boy, you can still admit defeat now. Kneel and kowtow three times, admit you were bragging, and I can let you leave safely."

Yu Tiancheng glanced at the emerald green poison array, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes—the array, though seemingly dangerous, actually contained a glimmer of hope.

Dugu Bo had ultimately left a way out.

"Senior," Yu Tiancheng said calmly, "If I can break this array, will that prove my ability?"

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, "If you can walk in here unharmed, I will believe you. Begin."

Yu Tiancheng glanced at the dense poison array, said nothing more, and directly stepped into it.

The moment he entered the poison array, countless poisonous gases surged towards him from all directions, desperately trying to penetrate his body.

Yu Tiancheng was not flustered. The Myriad Poisons True Elixir cultivation technique within him began to circulate.

Instead of resisting or dodging like a normal person, he opened all his acupoints, allowing the poisonous gas to flood in.

This scene made Liu Erlong outside the poison array's complexion change, and Dugu Yan cried out in shock.

But in the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.

The poisonous gases that entered Yu Tiancheng's body, instead of causing harm, seemed to have met their nemesis. They flowed docilely within his meridians, finally converging at his dantian, where they were refined and absorbed by an invisible force.

Yu Tiancheng's footsteps did not stop, and he walked slowly through the poison array.

Wherever he passed, the poisonous mist automatically parted, as if making way for him.

One step, two steps, three steps...

His steps were steady, his breathing even, and his complexion was even more ruddy than before.

After ten steps, he had reached the center of the poison array.

The concentration of poisonous gas here reached its peak, even the air had turned into a viscous dark green. An ordinary Soul Master here would die instantly from just one breath.

Yu Tiancheng, however, merely took a gentle breath.

Myriad Poisons True Elixir—Myriad Poisons Return to Origin.

The potent poisons entering his body were rapidly decomposed and transformed under the operation of the cultivation technique, turning into pure energy that nourished his limbs and bones. His Soul Power grew at a visible rate, and the bottleneck of level twenty-eight shattered with a bang.

Level twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty...

By the time he reached the end of the poison array, his Soul Power had steadily reached level thirty.

"Hoo—"

Yu Tiancheng let out a gentle breath. It was a wisp of pure, dark green airflow that landed on the ground, corroding the rock into a deep pit.

The poison array slowly dissipated behind him.

He looked up at Dugu Bo and cupped his hands, saying:

"Senior, the array is broken."

The entire place fell silent.

Dugu Yan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. The Nine Heart Begonia in Ye Lingling's hand trembled slightly.

Liu Erlong let out a long sigh of relief, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

Dugu Bo stared intently at Yu Tiancheng. After a long moment, he slowly exhaled.

The Myriad Poisons True Elixir truly lives up to its name.

He walked up to Yu Tiancheng and, for the first time, looked at the young man as an equal. "You not only passed through the poison array, but you also used it to break through to level thirty. Good, very good."

Yu Tiancheng smiled faintly. "Senior's poison array actually left a path to survival. If it weren't for that, this junior wouldn't have dared to be so bold."

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "You saw that?"

"At the core of the poison array, there was a wisp of opportunity for transformation," Yu Tiancheng said. "That was a flaw deliberately left by Senior."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

After a long while, he slowly nodded. "Indeed. Although I wanted to test your abilities, I didn't truly want to make Yan'er sad. If you couldn't hold on, the poison array would have dispersed on its own."

He paused and said solemnly, "Now, you are qualified to discuss any terms with me, and I will agree to them. Heal your injuries first, and then we will talk in detail."
