Hunting the Ninth Soul Ring? Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon, Artificial Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!

Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his head, gazing toward the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and muttered to himself:

"Let us go!

As of now, on the Douluo Continent, aside from Tang Chen and the Great Worship, this old man is invincible under the heavens!

Between level 98 and level 99, there lies a chasm.

Perhaps I might have let Yu Yuanzhen escape before, but now?

Heh heh!

A mere Yu Yuanzhen—if he dares to utter even half a word of dissent, this old man shall personally raze True Dragon Mountain to the ground!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo turned back, his gaze deep as he looked at Dugu Xuan and Dugu Bo:

"Brother Xuan, although you have reached level 90, you have yet to absorb your ninth soul ring.

Since Ce'er intends to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to settle debts, we must make the spectacle even grander!"

Dugu Xuan was stunned, then asked with a hint of excitement:

"What does the Second Worship mean?"

"This old man will take you now to hunt a ten-thousand-year soul beast most suitable for the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, radiating dominance.

"Once you officially step into the Title Douluo realm, the Dugu family will possess two Title Douluos!

By then, I would like to see who still dares to call the Jade Phosphorous Serpent a mere venomous weed!"

"Two Title Douluos in one house..."

A sharp glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Good!

Back in the day, that old scoundrel Yu Yuanzhen relied on his sect's foundation to look down on everyone.

If he sees two Title Douluos from the Dugu family arrive in person, his expression will surely be magnificent!"

Dugu Xuan took a deep breath and bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo:

"Many thanks to the Second Worship for your grace!

This old man's greatest wish in this life is to stand tall and bring Ce'er back to True Dragon Mountain to seek justice for Yu'er!"

"Master is thoughtful."

Dugu Ce said coldly.

"The day Grandfather achieves the Title rank shall be the moment the Dugu family holds its head high.

I want the entire Douluo Continent to know that the 'venomous insect' once humiliated and expelled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has now become a true dragon they cannot afford to provoke!"

Indeed.

Even if Dugu Xuan broke through to the Title rank, combined with Dugu Bo, they would still be no match for Yu Yuanzhen.

But their family had a backer: Golden Crocodile Douluo!

This trip to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would surely make Yu Yuanzhen pay the price!

That price could be his life, or it could be the abolition of his cultivation!

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not everyone was an enemy.

Yu Luomian had already become an inside agent for Martial Soul Hall.

The existence of the Dragon-Serpent Resonance Secret Technique was something he had leaked.

By eliminating Yu Yuanzhen this time and supporting Yu Luomian's rise to power, the status of the Dugu family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would soon be completely reversed!

What of dragons?

They, too, shall be devoured by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent!

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily, his voice shaking the trees:

"Not bad!

Not only must we grow stronger, but we must also make those hypocrites who boast of their noble bloodline tremble in despair!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stabilized his soul power and turned to look at Dugu Bo:

"Dugu Bo, you are most familiar with this Sunset Forest.

Do you have a suitable target for Brother Xuan's ninth soul ring?

The age must be at least eighty thousand years; if we can find one of ninety thousand years, that would be even better."

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his emerald eyes:

"There is indeed one!

Three thousand meters to the east of here, there is a bottomless poison pond."

Back when this old man first broke through to the Title Douluo realm, I went to investigate and found a Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon lurking at the bottom of that pool; its cultivation was likely approaching the hundred-thousand-year threshold.

"Its toxicity and bloodline have an extremely high compatibility with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent of our Dugu family!"

"Approaching a hundred thousand years?"

Dugu Xuan's breathing hitched, and he gave a bitter laugh:

"That kind of ferocious beast—this old man wouldn't have dared to even think about it in the past."

"With this seat present, it cannot stir up any trouble."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said indifferently.

"Since it is suitable, let us depart now."

Dugu Ce stepped forward at this moment, blocking the group:

"Master, since that Poison Flood Dragon is already approaching a hundred thousand years, why don't we give it a helping hand?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo raised an eyebrow:

"Ce'er, what do you mean?"

"This disciple still possesses a Snow Silkworm Spirit Vine. Although it does not compare to those previous immortal herbs, it has miraculous effects for reptilian Soul Beasts breaking through bottlenecks."

Dugu Ce analyzed calmly:

"Although Grandfather has refined the Ninth-Rank Purple Ganoderma, his foundation was damaged too severely by the snake venom over the past few decades.

If he only absorbs an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring, I fear he will be stuck at level ninety-four for the rest of his life."

Dugu Ce paused, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes:

"But if it is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, it will be different.

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring comes with two soul skills and is guaranteed to drop a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

It would be enough for Grandfather to cleanse his soul, and reaching the level ninety-six Super Douluo realm in the future would be no difficult task!"

Dugu Bo gasped:

"Ce'er, that is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!

This old man fears for your grandfather's body..."

"Grand-uncle, rest assured, Master is now a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo."

Dugu Ce looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and smiled slightly:

"Under absolute suppression of strength, even if that Poison Flood Dragon breaks through to a hundred thousand years, it can only obediently sacrifice itself or be killed by force.

Trading one immortal herb for a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—this deal is well worth it."

Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily, his eyes full of admiration:

"Good lad, you have enough guts!

And enough greed!

But this seat likes it.

Brother Xuan, having a grandson like this is truly a great blessing."

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his large hand, full of dominance:

"Let's go!

To that poison pool.

This seat wants to see how many moves this beast can withstand in front of me!"

Dugu Xuan's eyes reddened, his voice trembling:

"Ce'er... Grandfather truly owes you too much for this life."

"Grandfather, we are family."

Dugu Ce looked toward the distance with cold, sharp eyes:

"When you become a Title Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and we return to True Dragon Mountain.

I will make that old scoundrel Yu Yuanzhen unable to even lift his head!"

The group traveled at lightning speed, arriving at the poison pool in a few moments.

The dark green water churned with foul-smelling poisonous gas; nothing grew in the surrounding area, save for a few dead trees slanted along the bank.

"This is the place."

Dugu Bo pointed toward the center of the pool.

"That beast is hiding down below."

Dugu Ce took out the Snow Silkworm Spirit Vine and tossed it into the air above the pool.

At the same time, he vibrated his soul power slightly, and the herb instantly transformed into a thick, fragrant medicinal mist that permeated the air.

"ROAR--!"

A world-shattering dragon roar erupted from the bottom of the pool.

Immediately after, a massive venomous flood dragon broke through the water's surface, greedily devouring the medicinal power.

As the medicinal power entered its body, the black mist surrounding the venomous flood dragon began to transform into a dark purple. Its originally ferocious dragon horns became even sharper, and its aura surged continuously.

"It's breaking through!"

Dugu Xuan clenched his fists nervously.

"Beast, even if you break through, you'll just be food for Brother Xuan."

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, his level ninety-nine pressure sweeping out like a mountain crushing down.

The venomous flood dragon, which had been in a state of frenzied evolution, suddenly sank under this terrifying pressure.

It was directly forced back to the edge of the pool, unable to move, its eyes filled with terror.

A moment later, a dazzling red light burst from the venomous flood dragon's body – the mark of breaking through one hundred thousand years!
