Peerless Poison Emperor Tang San, the Sky Curtain Descends

Deep within Sunset Forest.

This place had originally been a forbidden zone for humans.

The miasma accumulated over ten thousand years was enough to make even Soul Saint-level experts retreat.

Yet at this moment, in the heart of this highly toxic region, there was a patch of pure land.

A youth stood with his hands behind his back.

He appeared to be around twenty years old, his posture as straight as a spear.

His blue-gold robe swayed gently in the wind. It bore no elaborate adornments, yet it exuded an innate air of nobility.

He had not activated his Martial Soul, and had even restrained his Soul Power Fluctuation to the utmost limit.

Yet something strange was happening.

Centered on him, the Blue Silver Grass within a hundred-meter radius was growing wildly.

They seemed to be cheering and leaping with joy, as though worshipping their Monarch.

The originally dark-green poisonous miasma was instantly caught by the countless swaying Blue Silver Grass the moment it approached this area.

Devoured and broken down.

It was transformed into the purest pale-gold life energy, which was fed back to the youth at the center.

This was Bai Tang San, who had not followed the original path of a purely control-type Soul Master.

In this Parallel World.

He had perfectly fused the endlessly regenerative nature of Blue Silver Grass with the Poison Scripture from the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Life in his left hand, deadly poison in his right.

Life and death both lay within a single thought.

"Phew..."

He let out a long breath of turbid air.

The old man standing beside Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

The old man was tall and thin, with green hair and beard.

He was none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, whose name struck terror throughout the Soul Master World.

The gaze this Titled Douluo turned toward the youth beside him no longer carried its usual arrogance.

Instead, it was filled with profound shock and a faint reverence he desperately tried to conceal.

Dugu Bo raised his hand.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison spots on his withered palm, which had tormented him for decades, had vanished completely.

The agony within his body, like a parasite clinging to his bones, had disappeared without a trace.

His body felt lighter than ever before, a state he had never dared dream of attaining.

"The poison... it really has been cured."

Dugu Bo felt the surging Soul Power within him. His voice was hoarse and carried a trace of tremor.

Not only had his level not fallen, but because the poison had been converted into pure Soul Power, he faintly showed signs of breaking through to level ninety-two.

Tang San turned around, his expression calm.

A gentle radiance unique to the Purple Demon Eye flickered within those profound eyes.

"This was more than simply curing the poison."

"The poison in your body had been stagnating for too long, Senior. It was better to guide it than to block it."

"I used the Life Plunder property of the Blue Silver Domain to extract the destructive factors from the poison."

"Then I assimilated them with the Extreme Poison domain."

"Now, that poison is no longer a death warrant for you. It has been transformed and put to use again."

Tang San's voice was not loud, but every word was incisive.

To Dugu Bo's ears, they sounded like thunder.

Life Plunder and Extreme Poison—two domains!

This kid had not even reached the Titled Douluo realm yet, had he?

And yet he had already mastered the power of two domains!

He was simply an unprecedented Monster.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Little monster..."

"No, perhaps this old man should address you as Young Master Tang."

"This old man accepts your methods."

Given Dugu Bo's original fiery temperament, after having his poison cured, he might have tried to default on the deal or even kill Tang San to silence him.

But before such absolute strength and methods.

He could not summon even the slightest thought of resistance.

More importantly, what Tang San had given him was not charity, but an equal transaction.

Tang San smiled faintly, calm and unruffled.

"Senior, you flatter me. I told you that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a Treasure Basin."

"I will take the Immortal Herbs within to cultivate. In return, I will give you a healthy body and the foundation to establish yourself in these troubled times."

"This is a transaction, and also a partnership."

There was no teasing remark about making him a son-in-law, nor was there the kind of one-sided calculation from the original story where Tang San alone reaped all the benefits.

Bai Tang San was more rational, and more domineering.

He did not need minor favors to win people over.

He only needed absolute benefits and strength to make Dugu Bo submit willingly.

Dugu Bo nodded, his expression solemn.

"What a transaction. From now on, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will be at your disposal."

"As long as you need this old bag of bones, I will await your orders at any time."

Tang San nodded slightly and walked to an Aromatic Silk Beauty, gently brushing its petals with his fingers.

"It is not only about you, Senior. The value of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well extends far beyond this."

"We will use the resources here to create powerful experts in batches."

"Not only will we increase Soul Power, we will also forge a Soul Master legion that can ignore deadly poison and possesses tenacious vitality."

A flash of ambition passed through Tang San's eyes.

The Spirit Hall of this world was wildly ambitious.

The two great empires were thoroughly rotten.

If he wanted to protect everything he cherished, one person's strength alone would not be enough.

He needed power. He needed a team of absolutely loyal warriors with terrifying combat strength.

And Dugu Bo was the best point of entry.

As Dugu Bo listened to Tang San's plan, he grew increasingly alarmed.

This youth's ambitions were enormous!

Yet the hot blood within him, dormant for so long, began to boil once more.

Following behind such a Monster.

Perhaps he truly could see a different kind of world?

Just as the two were enjoying their conversation and preparing to plan their future in greater detail.

A sudden change occurred.

Buzzz—!

A deep hum rang out without warning.

"What is going on?!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically.

Soul Power erupted from his entire body in an instant, and nine Soul Rings pulsed beneath his feet.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor flickered behind him as he warily scanned his surroundings.

Because he discovered that this pressure had actually made even him, a Titled Douluo, feel suffocated!

Tang San's expression also hardened as he abruptly raised his head toward the sky.

At that instant, the Purple Demon Eye was pushed to its limit.

The once-clear sky darkened in an instant.

It was not covered by dark clouds, but by a pure, absolute blackness.

It was as though someone had used an enormous black cloth to wrap up the entire world.

The birds and beasts of Sunset Forest fell silent at once.

All sounds vanished.

An indescribable sense of oppression settled over everyone's hearts.

It was not only Sunset Forest.

At this very moment, across the entire Douluo Continent.

Whether it was the towering Spirit City, the prosperous Heaven Dou Imperial Capital, or the secluded Upper Three Sects.

Everyone stopped what they were doing at that moment.

Inside the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong suddenly clenched her scepter, her exquisite face filled with horror.

Atop the cliffs of the Clear Sky Sect.

Several elders abruptly rose to their feet and stared at the heavens in disbelief.

Under the watch of countless eyes.

An eerie light suddenly appeared upon the ink-black Sky Curtain.

Streams of flowing golden patterns rapidly intertwined and converged.

In the end, they formed a line of soul-shaking golden words that stretched across heaven and earth.

[Dual Parallel World Comparison System activated]

Without giving the world any time to react, a massive torrent of information burst into everyone's minds with brute force, like a breached flood.

It was neither an illusion nor a spiritual attack, but the implantation of rules from a higher dimension.

Whether Titled Douluo or commoner.

In an instant, everyone understood the meaning of those words.

Parallel Worlds, the other me.

And the cruel comparison that was about to begin.

Tang San stood within Sunset Forest, sensing the additional information in his mind.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the hands behind his back slowly clenched into fists.

"A Parallel World? Interesting. I would like to see what the other me is doing."
