Yu Tianheng Cries Urgently? Yu Nan: A Little Snake Dares To Be Presumptuous?! Absorption Successful, Level 53!

"Committee members! We cannot leave! Yanyan, she..."

The moment his feet touched the ground, Yu Tianheng struggled to charge back, his eyes bloodshot and his expression bordering on madness.

"Tianheng! Calm down!"

Qin Ming grabbed Yu Tianheng in a death grip, his own eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

"That is a Title Douluo! Charging over there would be nothing but suicide; it wouldn't change a single thing! We can only pray now... pray that His Excellency Dugu truly has a plan we aren't aware of."

Although he said this, Qin Ming's heart was cold as ice.

Seventy thousand years... That was an age limit that even a Soul Doura would not dare to attempt lightly. How could Dugu Yan, a mere Soul Ancestor, possibly succeed?

The group stood on a distant hillside, gazing toward the stone forest shrouded in poisonous fog, the atmosphere suffocatingly oppressive.

In the center of the stone forest.

Having chased away the bothersome flies, Dugu Bo retracted his terrifying killing intent. As he turned to look at Dugu Yan, his gaze instantly softened with concern.

"Yanyan, don't let them affect you."

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice:

"The mediocrities of this world will never understand the world of a genius. Prove it to them—you, Dugu Yan, are destined to stand above all living beings!"

"Yes!"

Dugu Yan nodded heavily and sat cross-legged beside the massive corpse of the Medusa.

She took a deep breath to steady herself, then raised her right hand, a purple-gold light flickering faintly in her palm.

"Come!"

Following the guidance of Dugu Yan's soul power, the black soul ring hovering in mid-air, radiating monstrous resentment and pressure, seemed to respond to a summons and began to spin violently.

Hum—!!!

The moment the soul ring descended and settled onto Dugu Yan, a visible wave of black energy exploded outward!

Crack, crack!

The rocks beneath Dugu Yan instantly crumbled into powder.

"Argh—!!!"

Even with mental preparation, the moment that incredibly violent energy surged into her body, Dugu Yan could not help but let out a shrill, agonizing scream.

It was too painful! It felt as if a living giant python had burrowed into her veins, frantically biting and expanding, attempting to tear her body limb from limb!

On the distant hillside.

Hearing that scream, Yu Tianheng's body shuddered violently, tears streaming from his eyes as his fingernails dug deep into his palms.

"It's over... the energy is too violent..."

Meng Shenji's face turned deathly pale as he shook his head. "To be in such agony at the very start—her body cannot possibly withstand the sustained impact that follows. Dugu Bo... he is personally destroying his own granddaughter!"

However, just as everyone believed Dugu Yan was about to explode and perish, a sudden change occurred!

"Hmph, a mere seventy thousand years of energy thinks it can break my defenses?"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Yu Nan let out a cold snort.

The next moment, a strange red and white light suddenly ignited across the surface of Dugu Yan's skin!

It was the Ice and Fire Golden Body!

Sizzle, sizzle!

The meridians and blood vessels that were on the verge of rupturing under the impact of the violent energy suddenly became incredibly resilient the moment they touched the red and white light.

No matter how the seventy thousand years of soul power surged and thrashed, Dugu Yan's body acted like an indestructible furnace, locking the energy firmly within her.

Dugu Yan's face, previously twisted in agony, miraculously began to relax.

"This... what is this?!"

In the distance, Bai Baoshan's eyes widened as he pointed at the red and white light interweaving on Dugu Yan's body, exclaiming in shock.

"Her body... actually withstood it?!"

"How is this possible? That was the energy impact of a 70,000-year Soul Beast! Even with my own defensive Martial Soul, I fear that I would..."

Before they could recover from their shock, an even more perilous trial arrived.

Soul Shock!

"Hiss-!!!"

A venomous screech, audible only on the spiritual plane, exploded violently within Dugu Yan's mind.

Upon that black Soul Ring, a miniature phantom of Medusa suddenly emerged, opening its blood-red maw.

Carrying endless resentment and killing intent, it charged fiercely toward the center of Dugu Yan's brow!

This was the soul backlash of a 70,000-year fierce beast after death!

Once it breached the Sea of Consciousness, the best outcome would be becoming an idiot, and the worst would be total soul annihilation!

"Oh no! It's a Soul Shock!"

Committee Member Zhilin cried out in alarm. As a Control-type Soul Douluo, he was the most sensitive to fluctuations on the spiritual level:

"It's over... This resentment is too strong! Yanyan's spiritual power absolutely cannot block this!"

Yu Tianheng closed his eyes in despair, not daring to witness the scene of her brain matter splattering that was sure to follow.

However.

Just as Medusa's remnant soul sneered and charged into Dugu Yan's Sea of Consciousness, preparing to wreak havoc.

It suddenly froze.

Because it discovered that this Sea of Consciousness was not the narrow, murky puddle of an ordinary Soul Ancestor.

Instead, it was a vast, boundless ocean shimmering with purple-gold light!

And hovering above that ocean was a terrifying existence so massive that it made its soul tremble.

It was a giant dragon, its entire body purple-gold, majestic as a prison!

Yu Nan lazily opened one dragon eye, looking at the "little snake" shivering before him, a playful arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Yo, little loach, feeling quite arrogant, aren't you?"

"Hiss..."

Medusa's remnant soul instantly stiffened. That originally monstrous resentment, in the face of this 200,000-year True Dragon.

Was like residual snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly melting away without a trace.

It wanted to flee.

But this Sea of Consciousness had already been completely sealed by Yu Nan.

"Since you've come, don't bother leaving. You can just serve to nourish this girl's spiritual power."

Yu Nan said indifferently, then raised a dragon claw that blotted out the sky.

There were no flashy movements.

Just a simple, straightforward slap downward!

Slap!

It was as if he were swatting a fly.

That 70,000-year Medusa remnant soul, which had made the three Soul Douluo outside pale with fear.

Didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was slapped into a sky full of light particles!

"Refine!"

Yu Nan opened his mouth and inhaled, instantly devouring those pure spiritual energies.

Afterward, he converted them into the gentlest nourishing force, feeding it back into Dugu Yan's soul.

Outside.

The scene everyone expected—Dugu Yan bleeding from her seven orifices and suffering a mental collapse—did not occur.

On the contrary.

Dugu Yan's tightly furrowed brows completely smoothed out, and a look of enjoyment even curled the corners of her mouth.

The aura on her body began to soar at a rocket-like speed!

Level 51... Level 52... Level 53...

BOOM!

Accompanied by a crisp, explosive crack.

That pitch-black, ink-like ten-thousand-year spirit ring finally stabilized, hovering quietly around Dugu Yan and shimmering in harmony with her other four spirit rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black (disguised), black!

The fifth spirit ring, seventy thousand years!

Absorption successful!

"Huu—"

Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, two streaks of grayish-white light erupted from her eyes, striking a massive boulder directly ahead.
