Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon: True Body Descent! Defense, Speed, Strength Increased by Three Hundred Percent!

Dugu Yan stepped forward, her voice crisp and forceful:

"To become stronger, what is a little pain like this!"

"Good! Such spirit!"

Yu Nan nodded in approval, then looked toward Dugu Bo:

"Old Poison Freak, do it. Pluck a petal. Remember, use the Jade Knife, and be quick—don't let the medicinal potency dissipate."

Although Dugu Bo still felt some apprehension in his heart, seeing his granddaughter's determined gaze, he knew he could not hold her back now.

With a flick of his wrist, an exquisite Jade Knife appeared in his hand.

He approached the Snow Swan Kiss cautiously, held his breath, and brought the blade down in one swift motion.

A crystal-clear petal drifted down, caught and held steady by Dugu Bo's soul power.

"Yanyan, open your mouth."

Dugu Yan obeyed, parting her red lips.

Dugu Bo flicked his finger, and the petal transformed into a streak of light, landing in Dugu Yan's mouth.

The petal melted the moment it touched her tongue, turning into a stream of air that was cool yet carried a strange, restless agitation, instantly sliding down her throat.

BOOM!

The moment the petal entered her stomach, Dugu Yan felt as if a volcano had been ignited within her body!

The Poison Dragon soul power that had been flowing quietly through her meridians was suddenly stimulated by some frantic force, instantly boiling over!

"Ugh!"

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, her face turning deathly pale as beads of sweat the size of peas rolled down her forehead.

The sensation was as if countless ants were gnawing at her bones, or as if thousands of steel needles were piercing through her meridians!

"Don't panic! Guide the medicinal power and channel it into your torso bone!"

Yu Nan's shout exploded in her mind, acting like a stabilizing anchor that steadied Dugu Yan's wavering focus.

"Poison Dragon Domain, open!"

Enduring the excruciating pain, Dugu Yan threw her head back and let out a shrill, high-pitched dragon roar.

ROAR—!!!

A purple-gold light erupted instantly, and the Poison Dragon Domain suddenly expanded!

But this time, the domain was no longer a pale purple-gold.

Under the stimulation of the Snow Swan Kiss petal, the purple-gold mist within the domain instantly thickened like ink.

It even faintly shimmered with a heart-stopping blood-red hue!

The surrounding air emitted a teeth-grinding sizzling sound, as if even space itself were being corroded and pierced through by this terrifying poison!

Standing at the edge of the domain, even though he had been mentally prepared, Dugu Bo was forced to retreat several steps.

He had to activate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor to protect his body, his eyes filled with shock:

"This... is this really a domain that a Soul Ancestor can unleash?!"

"This aura... even if I were caught in it, I fear I would lose a layer of skin!"

"AH—!!!"

A shrill, miserable scream erupted from Dugu Yan's throat.

The Snow Swan Kiss's incredibly domineering, amplifying medicinal power was now rampaging through her body like a wild horse.

Fine beads of blood began to seep from the surface of Dugu Yan's fair skin.

Her meridians, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, began to show signs of rupturing.

Under the scouring of this violent energy, Dugu Yan's consciousness was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished.

"Is it still too much?"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Yu Nan frowned as he watched Dugu Yan's crumbling spirit.

While this girl's willpower was commendable, the Snow Swan Kiss was, after all, an extreme existence among immortal herbs.

Furthermore, it specifically countered poison-type soul masters.

Coupled with the resonance of the hundred thousand year soul bone, it was indeed an overload for someone who had just reached level fifty and was a quasi-Soul King.

"Fine, since this is the path I chose for you, I certainly cannot let you perish here."

Yu Nan's thoughts stirred, and a ripple of soul power instantly swept across the entire Sea of Consciousness.

"Hand your body over to me, and go to sleep."

Dugu Yan's taut nerves finally relaxed, and she fell into a deep slumber.

Outside.

Dugu Bo, who had been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, suddenly noticed that his granddaughter's screams had come to an abrupt halt.

He saw Dugu Yan, who had been struggling in agony and covered in blood, suddenly stiffen before slowly straightening her back.

When she raised her head again, the look of pain on her face had vanished without a trace.

In its place was a cold, majestic indifference that looked down upon the world as if all things were but straw dogs.

Within those purple-gold vertical pupils, two clusters of eternal dragon flames seemed to burn.

"Sen... Senior?"

Dugu Bo called out tentatively, his heart trembling.

The pressure this "Dugu Yan" exerted on him now was even more intense than when she had performed the sacrifice!

Yu Nan ignored Dugu Bo; the moment he took control of the body, he mobilized the primal power belonging to a two-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast.

"Hmph, a mere petal of the Snow Swan Kiss thinks it can burst me?"

"Refine—for me!"

Yu Nan let out a low shout, his hands forming a strange seal before his chest.

The violent medicinal power that had been rampaging through his body, upon encountering Yu Nan's overbearing soul power, instantly acted like a mouse meeting a cat; it was obediently driven, compressed, and finally poured entirely into the spine!

Hum—!!!

In an instant, a brilliant, dazzling purple-gold light erupted from Dugu Yan's back.

Through her clothes, one could clearly see that the thirty-three vertebrae seemed to have transformed into thirty-three purple-gold suns.

Each segment was frantically devouring the medicinal power of the Snow Swan Kiss.

Crack, crack, crack—

The sound of bones growing and popping rang out incessantly.

As the medicinal power fused completely, that two-hundred-thousand-year-old torso bone seemed to come alive, beginning the deepest level of restructuring with Dugu Yan's flesh, blood, and fascia.

An indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his entire body, and Yu Nan couldn't help but tilt his head back and let out a long howl.

"Roar—!!!"

This howl was no longer a human voice, but a pure, heaven-shaking dragon roar!

Immediately following, a sudden change occurred.

Perhaps the medicinal power of the Snow Swan Kiss was too vast, or perhaps the fusion between the torso bone and the physical body was too perfect, triggering some primitive instinct.

Yu Nan only felt a surging power within his body that had to be released.

It was a powerful impulse to break free from the constraints of human form and return to his true self!

"This feeling... I can't suppress it!"

Yu Nan's expression shifted slightly, then a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes:

"Since I cannot suppress it, then let this world witness true dragon might!"

"Two-hundred-thousand-year torso bone skill—"

"Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon: True Body Descent!!!"

Boom—!!!

In Dugu Bo's horrified gaze, "Dugu Yan" stomped her foot, and her entire body shot into the sky like a cannonball.

In mid-air, the purple-gold light expanded a thousandfold, dyeing the sky above the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into a purple-gold canopy.

Within that blinding light, Dugu Yan's figure vanished.

In her place was a massive True Dragon, over thirty meters long, covered in purple-gold scales, with wings on its back, looking majestic and ferocious!

Its thick dragon claws were as sharp as knives, and atop its massive dragon head, two spiral dragon horns pierced the clouds.

One of the soul skills of the two-hundred-thousand-year Poison Dragon torso bone: Incarnation of the Poison Dragon!

It was not an energy construct like a Martial Soul Avatar, but a true transformation of flesh and blood!

In this Poison Dragon form, defense, strength, and speed were all tripled, and the user became immune to all poison-attribute skills!
