Better to Offer a Sacrifice Than Wait to Die! Raise Dugu Yan to Godhood?! Sacrifice Begins! (Please Add to Favorites!)

Not only could it take his poison arts to a whole new level,

it might even solve, once and for all, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison backlash that had plagued the family for a century!

At the thought, Dugu Bo's breathing grew ragged.

But he was an old hand, and naturally wary and cautious.

"Yan Yan, take half a step back."

Dugu Bo barked, then raised a thin, withered finger. Green light swirled at its tip.

Hiss—

A tiny Jade Phosphorous Serpent, formed entirely from condensed Soul Power, flicked its tongue.

Like a streak of green lightning, it shot into the billowing dust.

This was his test.

If the Ferocious Beast still had strength left, the little serpent would be crushed in an instant. Worse, the backlash might travel along the Soul Power and strike him.

If that happened, he wouldn't waste a word—he'd turn and run.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds passed.

The little Soul Power serpent swam through the dust, even daring to approach the enormous creature, but still drew no retaliation.

There wasn't even the slightest tremor of rebounding Soul Power.

It was dead silence.

"No reaction at all?"

Dugu Bo clenched his fist. The tension on his face instantly turned to wild joy, and his grin stretched from ear to ear.

"Hahahaha!

Heaven is helping me!

Heaven really is helping me!

This beast is probably nothing but a corpse now!"

The opportunity wouldn't wait!

"Yan Yan, stay close to Grandpa!

Our Dugu Family's chance has come!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan by the wrist.

He shot forward, turning into a green blur.

Without a second thought, he charged into the center of the crater, where the air reeked of sulfur and burning flesh.

The wind howled as Dugu Bo's domineering Soul Power forcibly scattered the dust.

The next moment,

the grandfather and granddaughter came to an abrupt halt at the crater's edge.

When they saw the curled-up figure at the center, even Dugu Bo, a man who had seen it all, felt his pupils quake.

He stood frozen in place.

"This... this is..."

On the scorched earth lay not the giant serpent or other Soul Beast he had expected.

It was a True Dragon, its body covered in shattered purple-gold scales, its horns sharp and imposing, five claws growing from its belly...

Though it was charred all over and its breath was faint as a thread, as if it could stop at any moment,

the pressure of a superior being, rooted deep in its bloodline—the terrifying aura of the Ancestor of All Poisons—

still made Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who possessed the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Souls, tremble from the depths of their souls!

"A dragon... a True Dragon with poison attributes?!"

Dugu Bo's voice grew sharp and hoarse with overwhelming excitement.

"This isn't some two-hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast...

It's a divine miracle!"

The green light in Dugu Bo's eyes was almost solid.

"Yan Yan, stay back!"

Dugu Bo roared, and the nine Soul Rings beneath his feet blazed to life.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!

The might of a Titled Douluo erupted without restraint.

Behind him, the enormous phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor lifted its head and hissed, jaws gaping wide.

It spewed a thick cloud of poisonous mist at Yu Nan, who lay on the crater floor, on the verge of death.

Though he had judged the other party to be at death's door, a lion still gave its all when hunting a rabbit.

Dugu Bo intended to paralyze the beast completely with his deadly poison first, then finish it off and strip its bones and skin!

"You old bastard, that's cold..."

Yu Nan cursed inwardly. The foul poison rushing toward him only made his already shattered dragon body worse.

Normally,

that little bit of poison would have been nothing more than a snack.

But he had no choice. His body was riddled with wounds, and this time, it could really get to him.

At this critical moment, Yu Nan's mind raced.

Either way, he was going to die?

Then he'd bet big!

A flash of inspiration struck Yu Nan.

He immediately thought of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

How had that big grub done it?

By voluntarily sacrificing himself to Huo Yuhao, who had just left the beginner's village, and becoming the first-ever Wisdom Soul Ring.

Not only had he helped Huo Yuhao cheat his way to godhood, he'd hitched a ride to an immortal divine position himself—and even won a beauty's heart!

I know this script!

A brilliant gleam suddenly burst from Yu Nan's dim dragon eyes.

The situation was practically a gift from heaven!

Old Poison Freak Dugu Bo had already reached the end of his potential. Even at his age, he was still just a "Titled Douluo floor tile."

Sacrificing to him would be like tossing meat buns to a dog—no future in it, and he'd have to put up with a whole lot of indignity.

Besides, Dugu Bo already had all nine Soul Rings. Could he even accept a sacrifice?

But Dugu Yan was different!

Yu Nan's gaze instantly locked onto the purple-haired girl standing behind Dugu Bo.

How old was she?

Only around twenty!

Most importantly, Dugu Yan's Soul Power was unstable.

She had probably just reached level forty.

Dugu Bo had brought Dugu Yan to Sunset Forest.

Clearly, she needed a fourth Soul Ring!

Level forty...

That meant Tang San, that cheater, hadn't yet had the chance to go shopping at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

All the Immortal Herbs in that garden—Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew...—still belonged to the Dugu Family!

As long as I sacrifice myself to Dugu Yan,

my two-hundred-thousand-year True Dragon origin will be more than enough to forcibly suppress and fuse with her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul—maybe even mutate and evolve it!

And with my knowledge of the original plot, I can use the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to cleanse her meridians, improve her constitution...

Forget becoming a Titled Douluo—even godhood is within reach if I push her hard enough!

If I helped Dugu Yan become a god, I could live forever alongside her!

This deal was pure profit!

Once he'd decided, there was no point dragging his feet!

Seeing the deadly Soul Skill already taking shape in Dugu Bo's hand, Yu Nan didn't hesitate.

"ANGH—!!!"

A clear but sorrowful dragon's cry suddenly burst from the center of the crater.

It instantly scattered the poisonous mist Dugu Bo had released.

"Last-ditch struggle?"

Dugu Bo sneered and was about to attack, but his expression suddenly changed.

The Purple Gold Poison Dragon, which had been on the verge of death, was suddenly engulfed in eerie blood-red flames.

They weren't ordinary flames. They were the fire of life, burning its soul and origin!

An indescribably terrifying field spread outward from Yu Nan's body.

Hum—!

It was as if the world had been paused.

The Sunset Forest's core, where the wind had howled moments ago, fell deathly silent.

Dugu Bo realized in horror

that even his tremendous Soul Power, the might of a Titled Douluo, had completely frozen within that blood-red field.

He couldn't even move a finger!

"What... what kind of Soul Skill is this?!"

Dugu Bo was horrified as he watched the enormous poisonous dragon begin to disintegrate.

It broke apart into countless purple-gold specks of light.

But the specks didn't scatter, nor did they attack him.

As if they had found their destined home, they surged toward the dazed Dugu Yan behind him!

"No!! Yan Yan!!"

Dugu Bo's eyes nearly split with rage. He thought the beast was trying to drag his granddaughter down with it before dying, but he was powerless to stop it.
