Torso Soul Bone Skill: Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon? Fusing with Snow Swan Kiss to Increase Its Power?

At last, as the sun sank in the west,

Dugu Bo abruptly opened his eyes.

Two beams of solid-looking green light shot out, punching straight through the rock wall ahead!

"凝!!!" -> ensure Chinese call: "凝" condense. For me, condense!!!

Boom!

An aura several times stronger than before, yet incomparably restrained, burst from Dugu Bo's body!

Although his Soul Power Level hadn't directly increased, Dugu Bo had undergone a complete transformation in spirit, vitality, and essence.

His formerly sallow, sinister face had taken on a healthy flush.

Even his hair, once streaked with gray, had turned half black right before their eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Dugu Bo leaped to his feet.

Feeling the emerald Poison Pill slowly rotating inside him, obedient as an extension of his own arm, he couldn't help bursting into laughter:

"The Poison Pill!

It really worked!"

"My poison finally obeys me!"

Dugu Bo turned to look at Dugu Yan and Yu Nan's shadow, who seemed a little tired. His eyes reddened.

Then he clasped his fists and said, each word deliberate:

"Senior, Dugu Bo will never forget your great kindness!"

"From now on, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well belongs to you and Yan Yan!

All the resources of the Dugu Family are yours to command!"

Yu Nan's mouth twitched slightly.

Old Dugu Bo was a crafty old fox.

Yu Nan was already bound together with Dugu Yan.

When one prospered, both prospered; when one suffered, both suffered.

Only by raising Dugu Yan to godhood

could Yu Nan avoid dying when Dugu Yan's lifespan ran out.

And Dugu Bo had only one granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

Who else would he give those resources to?

Yet the way he put it made him sound so generous.

"Enough. Since you two have both dealt with your problems, then next..."

Yu Nan drifted over to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and several specific Immortal Herbs, a glint flashing in his eyes:

"We should properly 'divide the spoils' in this garden...

No, make good use of them."

Over the past two and a half months,

although most of the medicinal power from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot had gone toward body tempering,

some had still dispersed and transformed into Soul Power.

That had helped Dugu Yan break through to Soul Power Level 50.

"Yan Yan, your Soul Power is already at level 50. With the foundation you've built through the Ice and Fire Golden Body and the Poison Pill method,

it's time to break through to Soul King."

"And besides..."

Yu Nan looked at Dugu Yan, his expression mysterious:

"Don't you want to find out what the domain bestowed by your Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring will become when combined with certain Immortal Herbs?"

"Evolve?"

Yu Nan wagged a finger:

"Little girl, dream on."

"The Poison Dragon Domain is an Innate Domain bestowed by a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. It already stands at the very peak of domains.

For it to evolve again, you'd have to become a god or encounter some heaven-defying opportunity that could change your fate."

"Then what do you mean, Senior...?"

Dugu Yan blinked, her purple-gold, slit-pupiled eyes full of curiosity.

"It can't evolve, but we can 'add something' to it and bring about a qualitative leap in its effects!"

Yu Nan drifted over beside an Immortal Herb that was crystalline white all over, as elegant as a swan's neck.

"Snow Swan Kiss."

Yu Nan spoke softly:

"Old Poison Freak, you've guarded this treasure for so many years and only ever thought of it as a pretty flower?"

Dugu Bo's face flushed. He scratched his head awkwardly:

"This flower...

I truly couldn't detect any poison in it, nor any unusual Soul Power fluctuations. I thought it was just an ordinary ornamental plant..."

"An ordinary ornamental plant?"

Yu Nan scoffed, as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world:

"This is the finest of Immortal Herbs!

It has only one function."

Yu Nan paused, his gaze sweeping over the grandfather and granddaughter as he spoke, each word deliberate:

"Stimulation and amplification!"

"It's not poisonous by itself, but if you put it on top of any kind of poison,

even a drop of ordinary snake venom, it can instantly amplify its toxicity a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

"What?!"

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both sucked in a sharp breath, staring in shock at the beautiful, seemingly delicate white flower.

A hundredfold? A thousandfold?

What did that even mean?

If they used it on the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison, wouldn't that instantly create a cataclysmic disaster?

"Senior, th-this is far too terrifying!"

Dugu Bo's voice trembled.

"If it really works like that, this thing is the source of all poisons!"

"Exactly."

Yu Nan nodded, his expression grave:

"Because its effects are so overbearing, you absolutely mustn't consume the whole plant.

Otherwise, even Yan Yan as she is now would have the poison in her body run wild in an instant and explode."

"But..."

Yu Nan changed tack, fixing his gaze on Dugu Yan:

"We only need one of its petals."

"We'll use the medicinal power of that single petal, along with the 200,000-Year Poison Dragon Torso Bone inside you, as a medium and buffer."

"Then we'll guide this amplification power into your Poison Dragon Domain!"

Yu Nan raised a hand and traced that audacious plan in the air:

"Imagine this: when your Poison Dragon Domain spreads, the suppression of poison attributes within it is no longer fifty percent, but five hundred percent!

The corrosive poisonous miasma in the domain no longer eats away at you slowly, but dissolves you in an instant!"

"Then your domain won't just be for support and control. It'll be a true death zone!"

Listening to Yu Nan's description, Dugu Yan's heart pounded violently.

A death zone!

Just hearing the name made her blood surge.

"Besides, the Snow Swan Kiss can stimulate 'my' torso bone

and make it completely merge with your marrow and meridians, greatly increasing your strength after transforming into a dragon."

Yu Nan explained.

When ordinary Soul Masters absorbed a Soul Bone, it merely fused with the corresponding bone they already had.

But Yu Nan intended to make Dugu Yan completely 'evolve' in the direction of a Poison Dragon!

Yu Nan had two reasons for being confident enough to do this.

First, Yu Nan himself was the true owner of this 200,000-Year Poison Dragon Torso Bone.

Second, one of the two Soul Skills of this Torso Soul Bone was 'Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon.'

With the Poison Dragon Torso Bone as its core, her whole body would transform into a Poison Dragon.

If they followed Yu Nan's plan, the Snow Swan Kiss would stimulate the Poison Dragon Torso Bone and make it merge completely with her.

That would greatly strengthen her physique after transforming into a dragon, as well as amplify her poison-attribute Soul Skills.

Yu Nan looked at Dugu Yan, purple-gold light flashing in his eyes:

"Girl, do you dare to try?"

"It might hurt a little. After all, we'll be using such overbearing medicinal power to scour your body."

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, her expression resolute.

Ever since absorbing the Immortal Herb and reforging her golden body, she'd tasted the sweetness of becoming stronger.

The feeling of having power in her hands was simply intoxicating.

"Senior, I dare!"
