ROAR--!!!

Yu Nan, having taken the Incarnation of the Poison Dragon, circled in mid-air, his massive dragon wings blotting out the sky.

With his appearance, the already terrifying Poison Dragon Domain was now amplified by the Snow Swan Kiss, automatically pushing it to its absolute limit!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle--!

Centered on the Poison Dragon, a five-hundred-meter radius instantly transformed into a purple-black dead zone.

Apart from the immortal herbs near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which were protected by a formation, even the ordinary rocks at the edge of the valley began to blacken and soften at a rate visible to the naked eye under the erosion of the toxic mist.

In the end, they dissolved into puddles of black liquid that flowed away.

The air was thick with a nauseating, cloying stench; even if one held their breath, the poison seemed capable of burrowing into the body through the very pores.

"This... this..."

Dugu Bo had already retreated to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, relying on the extreme cold and heat of the spring water to barely withstand the overwhelming toxic might.

He looked up at the Purple Gold Poison Dragon in the sky, which resembled a demon god, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

How could this be a mere soul skill?

This was clearly a living, breathing, two-hundred-thousand-year fierce beast in its prime!

"Is this... the power that awaits Yan Yan?"

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, the fear in his eyes gradually replaced by wild ecstasy.

Too strong!

It was outrageously strong!

In the face of this power, any pride he held as a Title Douluo was nothing but a joke.

High in the sky, Yu Nan felt this long-lost, massive body and the abyss-like, ocean-deep poison power within, feeling exhilarated to the extreme.

He violently flapped his wings, whipping up a foul wind, and lowered his massive dragon head to look down, speaking in a voice like thunder:

"Old Poison Freak!"

"Did you see clearly?"

"This is the ultimate form of the Ultimate Poison!"

"Within this domain, all below the god-level are but ants!"

Dugu Bo looked up at the sky-covering Purple Gold Poison Dragon, listening to the deafening, bold declaration, his throat dry and his heart pounding wildly.

"All below the god-level are but ants..."

He repeated the words in a murmur, his eyes filled with awe and yearning.

If his previous respect for Yu Nan stemmed mostly from the fact that the other could save his granddaughter and himself, as well as his identity as a two-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then now, he was truly conquered by this world-destroying power.

This was a true powerhouse!

This was the realm that he, Dugu Bo, had pursued his entire life!

"Senior's divine might is peerless; this junior... is convinced and humbled!"

Dugu Bo bowed deeply, performing a grand salute to the giant dragon in the sky.

There was no longer a trace of the arrogance of a Title Douluo in his tone, only heartfelt humility.

In the sky, seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Yu Nan ceased maintaining the energy-draining true form.

"Withdraw!"

With a low shout, the sky-filling purple-gold light rapidly receded.

The massive body of the Poison Dragon dissipated like a phantom, transforming back into a slender figure that drifted slowly to the ground.

The moment her feet touched the earth, the purple-gold light in Yu Nan's eyes faded, and he returned control of the body to Dugu Yan.

"Ugh..."

Dugu Yan shook her head as her consciousness returned.

Although her body had been taken over by Yu Nan just moments ago, her consciousness had not fully slept; instead, she had been like a bystander.

She had witnessed the shocking scene of the transformation into the Poison Dragon, a being whose pressure dominated the heavens and the earth.

That feeling of controlling everything, of being the sole sovereign, was deeply branded into the depths of her soul.

"Grandfather..."

Dugu Yan looked at the respectful Dugu Bo before her, then looked down at her own hands, her eyes filled with disbelief:

"Was that... really me?"

"That is you in the future."

Yu Nan's voice echoed in her mind, carrying a hint of laziness and encouragement:

"As long as you cultivate diligently, sooner or later, you will be able to achieve this level, or even surpass it, through your own strength."

Upon hearing this, a brilliance never seen before erupted in Dugu Yan's eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly and shouted in her heart:

"Rest assured, Senior! I will certainly not fail your expectations!

I, too, will become one of the supreme powerhouses of this world, just like you!"

At this moment, the image of Yu Nan in her heart had shifted from a mysterious "old mentor in her pocket" to a towering mountain, an idol worth chasing for the rest of her life.

"Alright, don't be in such a rush to make declarations; the path must be walked one step at a time."

Yu Nan chuckled, then shifted the topic, turning his attention back to Dugu Bo.

"Old Poison Freak, stop standing there like a fool."

Yu Nan controlled Dugu Yan's finger, pointing toward an immortal herb in the corner of the herb garden that was as white as snow and shaped like an orchid:

"Go, pick that 'Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid'."

Dugu Bo was stunned, looking in the direction the finger pointed.

It was an orchid with a body as white as snow, its petals appearing as if carved from white jade, emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy upon smelling it.

"Senior, this immortal herb... is it also for Yan-yan?"

Dugu Bo asked subconsciously.

In his view, all the good things here should naturally be prioritized for his granddaughter.

"For Yan-yan?

She has just absorbed the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and fused with the medicinal power of the Snow Swan Kiss; her body has already reached its limit.

To consume more would be seeking death."

Yu Nan said with annoyance:

"This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid has a mild and mellow medicinal nature, making it most suitable for consolidating one's foundation and purging impurities from the body."

"It is for you."

"For... for me?!"

Dugu Bo pointed at his own nose, his face full of disbelief.

He had lived for so many years, yet this was the first time he had ever heard of someone giving such a peerless immortal herb to an old man like him.

"Nonsense, if not to you, then to whom?"

Yu Nan explained:

"Although you have already condensed your Poison Pill and resolved the issue of backlash, your early cultivation was driven by a desire for quick success, leaving behind many hidden injuries and severely damaging your foundation."

"If these hidden dangers are not repaired, your life will stop at level ninety-one or ninety-two.

Wanting to break through to level ninety-five would be nothing but a pipe dream."

"But this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is different."

Yu Nan's voice carried a hint of temptation:

"It can cleanse your marrow and reshape your meridians, purging the medicinal dregs and impurities that have accumulated in your body for years."

"Consuming it will not only restore your potential to its peak but can also directly assist you in breaking through your bottleneck!"

"At a conservative estimate, it will allow your current soul power to increase by at least one level!"

"Increase by one level?!"

Dugu Bo's breathing became rapid in an instant.

At the level of a Title Douluo, every single level of improvement is as difficult as ascending to heaven, often requiring years or even decades of bitter cultivation.

And now, a mere herb could save him years of hard work?

Not to mention repairing his foundation and increasing his potential!

This was nothing short of a grace of rebirth!

"Senior..."

Dugu Bo looked at the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, his eyes moistening, his voice choked with emotion:

"Your great kindness to our grandfather and granddaughter... Dugu Bo truly has no way to repay you!"

"Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental; you're giving me goosebumps."
