200,000-Year Poison Dragon Torso Bone?! Nine-Level Leap to Peak Level 49! (Please Bookmark!)

Meanwhile, inside Dugu Yan's Sea of Consciousness.

It had once been an ocean of jade-green mist, symbolizing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's insidious nature.

But now, with Yu Nan's soul taking up residence, the entire Sea of Consciousness was instantly dyed a dazzling, regal purple-gold.

Yu Nan's shrunken soul apparition hovered above the golden ocean.

Before him floated Dugu Yan's newly evolved Martial Soul: the Poison Dragon.

It was a miniature True Dragon, purple-gold in color.

Though its body had shrunk countless times over,

the dragon's disdainful, world-dominating aura had not diminished in the slightest.

Yu Nan instinctively reached out, wanting to touch the newborn Martial Soul.

Yet the instant his fingertips brushed the miniature Poison Dragon, a strange sensation coursed through his entire body.

"Hm?

What is this feeling..."

Yu Nan was astonished to discover

that with the slightest movement of his thoughts, the Poison Dragon Martial Soul before him actually obeyed his commands as easily as his own arm!

It roared, coiled, and thrust out its claws...

There was no awkwardness at all, as if it were simply an extension of his own body!

"Can I actually control her Martial Soul directly?"

Yu Nan's heart surged like a stormy sea. After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood.

"That's right!

This sacrifice didn't simply grant her power."

During the fusion just now, his domineering 200,000-year Poison Dragon bloodline hadn't strengthened Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent bloodline.

Instead, it had devoured and fused with it in an almost predatory fashion!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent bloodline had vanished completely, replaced by the far more advanced and purer Poison Dragon bloodline.

In other words, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul was now, in essence, another extension of Yu Nan's own life form!

"And there's more..."

Feeling the terrifying poison emanating from the Martial Soul, Yu Nan's lips curled slightly.

"This poison is no longer ordinary Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

It's the Ultimate Poison, which reigns above all poisons!"

In this era, Ultimate Attributes simply didn't exist!

(According to the settings in Douluo 1 and Douluo 2, no Ultimate Attributes appeared in Douluo 1, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist.)

On the Douluo Continent, an Ultimate Attribute meant invincibility against others of the same rank. It meant absolute suppression of ordinary attributes!

With this trump card, and his absolute control over the Martial Soul,

whenever Dugu Yan fought in the future, he could take over her body and pull off moves far beyond her own understanding, if he so wished!

"Now that the Martial Soul's evolution is complete, I might as well see this through to the end!"

Yu Nan turned his gaze toward the outside world.

There, his enormous dragon body had already completely vanished.

Only a translucent, purple-gold-glowing spine with thirty-three segments remained, quietly suspended in midair.

A 200,000-Year Poison Dragon Torso Bone!

It was one of the most precious and hardest-to-obtain Soul Bones: a torso bone, second only to the External Soul Bone!

If Dugu Yan absorbed it on her own,

even with its 200,000-year quality, it would probably take months—and she would still risk having her body explode.

But this was a sacrifice!

"Come!"

Yu Nan's soul gave a quiet shout and reached out with one hand.

The priceless 200,000-year torso bone in the outside world instantly turned into a streak of light and shot into Dugu Yan's back without the slightest resistance.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bones locking together rang out.

There was no pain, no rejection.

Under Yu Nan's control, the spine, which contained terrifying energy, instantly replaced and fused with Dugu Yan's original spine.

In an instant, the refinement was complete!

Boom!

With the Soul Ring and Soul Bone both in place, the sacrificial ritual finally reached its closing moments.

An indescribably vast wave of Soul Power burst from Dugu Yan's body.

Outside.

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched as he stared fixedly at his granddaughter.

Dugu Yan's Soul Power had been stuck at Level 40, but now it began soaring like a rocket!

Level 41!

Level 42!

Level 43!

In the blink of an eye, she broke through the Level 45 watershed, and her momentum showed no sign of slowing!

Half the energy of the 200,000-year Soul Ring had been sealed, but even the remaining half, combined with the complete 200,000-year torso bone,

still brought a terrifying boost to her Soul Power!

Level 46!

Level 47!

Level 48!

At last, after breaking through the Level 49 threshold, that violent aura slowly settled, stopping at the peak of Level 49!

Just one step away from entering the Soul King realm!

Fourth Soul Ring: one hundred thousand years!

Soul Power had leaped nine levels!

That was the power of a 200,000-year Ferocious Beast willingly offering itself in sacrifice!

Dugu Yan felt as though she had just awoken from a long, fantastical dream.

In the dream, she had become a True Dragon soaring through the heavens, looking down over the vast earth, with an endless torrent of power surging through her body.

As she slowly opened her eyes, a purple-gold dragon's pupil now stood vertically within the depths of her once-jade-green eyes.

It gave her an eerie, regal air.

"Grandpa..."

Dugu Yan instinctively looked toward Dugu Bo nearby. She was about to tell him of the astonishing changes in her body

when she had a thought and instinctively tried to summon her Martial Soul, wanting to show her grandfather what she looked like now.

But before she could even channel her Soul Power,

Roar!

A deafening dragon's cry erupted behind her without her summoning it!

Immediately afterward, a massive Poison Dragon apparition several meters long appeared behind her, wreathed in surging purple-gold poison flames.

Its eyes flashed like lightning, its scales glinted, and its five claws were as sharp as blades.

The instant it appeared, it raised its head and roared, proclaiming the arrival of a king.

"This... This is my Martial Soul?!"

Even Dugu Yan was startled.

Before, she'd needed to guide the Jade Phosphorous Serpent out with great care.

Why did this Martial Soul seem even more eager than she was?

Something even more frightening happened.

Across from her, Dugu Bo—a Titled Douluo at Level 91—turned pale.

"Hiss..."

Without Dugu Bo even voluntarily releasing his Martial Soul,

his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor emerged on its own, terrified and oppressed by the Ultimate Poison!

But this time, the Serpent Emperor, once so mighty and imposing, looked like a little loach facing its natural predator.

It coiled behind Dugu Bo, its head lowered, not even daring to flick out its tongue.

It pressed itself against the ground, trembling before the Poison Dragon apparition behind Dugu Yan.

This was a shudder from the depths of its soul, the absolute submission of a lesser being to a greater one!

Bloodline suppression!

"My Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor... is actually afraid?"

Feeling the urge to prostrate itself that his Martial Soul conveyed,

Dugu Bo wasn't angry. Instead, he was so overjoyed that even his beard trembled.

"Good!

Good!

Wonderful!"

"Even my Serpent Emperor has submitted. Yan Yan, yours is without a doubt the legendary top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul—the Poison Dragon!"
