Hunting for a Ninth Soul Ring? The Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon, an Artificial Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his head and gazed toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He said confidently:
"Let's go!
Right now, on the Douluo Continent, apart from Tang Chen and the Great Worship, I'm invincible!
There's a chasm between Level 98 and Level 99.
Perhaps Yu Yuanzhen could have escaped before, but now?
Heh!
If that mere Yu Yuanzhen dares to utter even a single word of refusal, I'll personally level True Dragon Mountain!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his head and looked deeply at Dugu Xuan and Dugu Bo:
"Xuan, you may have reached Level 90, but you still haven't absorbed your ninth Soul Ring.
Since Ce'er is going back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to settle accounts, we might as well make this spectacle even grander!"
Dugu Xuan froze, then asked with some excitement:
"You mean...?"
"I'll take you to hunt a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that's most suited to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor."
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, radiating dominance.
"Once you officially enter the Titled Douluo realm, the Dugu Family will have two Titled Douluos in one family!
Then I'd like to see who still dares call the Jade Phosphorous Serpent a poisonous bug or a weed!"
"Two Titled Douluos in one family..."
A sharp glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Good!
Back then, that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen relied on his clan's foundation and looked down on everyone.
If he sees two Titled Douluos from the Dugu Family standing before him, his expression will be priceless!"
Dugu Xuan took a deep breath and bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo:
"Thank you for making this possible!
My greatest wish in life is to return to True Dragon Mountain with my head held high, bringing Ce'er with me to demand justice for Yu'er!"
"Master has thought this through."
Dugu Ce said coldly.
"The day Grandfather becomes a Titled Douluo will be the day the Dugu Family holds its head high.
I'll make the entire Douluo Continent know that the 'poisonous bug' once insulted and driven out by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has now become a true dragon they can't afford to provoke!"
To be sure,
even if Dugu Xuan broke through to the Titled Douluo realm and joined forces with Dugu Bo, they still wouldn't be a match for Yu Yuanzhen.
But their family had a powerful backer: Golden Crocodile Douluo!
This time, they would make Yu Yuanzhen pay when they went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!
That price could be his life, or the destruction of his cultivation!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wasn't made up entirely of enemies.
Yu Luomian had already become an inside agent for Spirit Hall.
He was the one who had revealed the existence of the Dragon-Serpent Resonance Secret Technique.
This time, they would eliminate Yu Yuanzhen and support Yu Luomian's rise to power.
The standing of the Dugu Family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would soon be completely reversed!
So what if they were dragons?
They'd still be swallowed by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent!
Golden Crocodile Douluo burst into hearty laughter, his voice shaking the trees:
"Exactly!
We won't just grow stronger. We'll make those hypocrites who pride themselves on their noble bloodlines tremble in despair!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo steadied his Soul Power, then turned to Dugu Bo:
"Dugu Bo, you know Sunset Forest best.
Do you have a suitable target for Xuan's ninth Soul Ring?
It must be at least eighty thousand years old. If we can find one that's ninety thousand years old, all the better."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment. A glint suddenly flashed in his jade-green eyes:
"I do!
Three thousand meters east of here, there's a bottomless poisonous pool.
When I first broke through to Titled Douluo, I went to investigate. A Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon was lying dormant at the bottom. Its cultivation is probably close to the hundred-thousand-year mark.
Its poison and bloodline are exceptionally compatible with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent of my family!"
"Close to a hundred thousand years?"
Dugu Xuan's breathing quickened, and he gave a bitter smile:
"I never would have dared dream of hunting such a vicious beast before."
"With me here, it won't cause any trouble."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly.
"If it's suitable, let's set out now."
Just then, Dugu Ce stepped forward and stopped them:
"Master, since the poison flood dragon is already close to a hundred thousand years old, why don't we give it a hand?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo raised an eyebrow:
"Ce'er, what do you mean?"
"I still have a Snow Silkworm Spirit Vine. It's not as valuable as those Immortal Herbs from before, but it works wonders for helping reptilian Soul Beasts break through their bottlenecks."
Dugu Ce analyzed the situation calmly:
"Grandfather refined the Ninth-Rank Purple Ganoderma, but decades of damage from snake venom have left his foundation impaired.
If he absorbs an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he'll probably never get past Level 94."
Dugu Ce paused, a ruthless glint in his eyes:
"But a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring would be different.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring comes with two Soul Skills and is guaranteed to produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
That would be enough to purify Grandfather's spirit. It wouldn't be difficult for him to aim for Level 96 and become a Super Douluo in the future!"
Dugu Bo sucked in a sharp breath:
"Ce'er, that's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
I'm afraid your grandfather's body..."
"Don't worry, Granduncle. My master is now a Level 99 Limit Douluo."
Dugu Ce looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and smiled slightly:
"With such an overwhelming advantage in strength, even if the poison flood dragon breaks through to a hundred thousand years, it can only obediently offer itself up or be killed by force.
Trading one Immortal Herb for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is a bargain."
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily, his eyes full of approval:
"Good lad, you've got guts!
And you're greedy!
But I like it.
Xuan, you're lucky to have a grandson like him."
Golden Crocodile Douluo swept his hand through the air, brimming with dominance:
"Let's go!
To the poisonous pool.
I want to see how many moves this beast can last against me!"
Dugu Xuan's eyes reddened, and his voice trembled:
"Ce'er... I owe you so much in this life."
"Grandfather, we're family."
Dugu Ce gazed coldly into the distance:
"When you become a Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and we return to True Dragon Mountain,
I want that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen to be unable to lift his head!"
The group raced forward and reached the poisonous pool in no time.
Foul-smelling poison gas churned above the dark green water. Nothing grew around the pool, save for a few dead trees leaning along the shore.
"This is the place."
Dugu Bo pointed toward the center of the pool.
"That beast is hiding beneath the water."
Dugu Ce took out the Snow Silkworm Spirit Vine and casually tossed it into the air above the pool.
At the same time, he gave it a slight jolt of Soul Power, and the medicinal herb instantly released a rich fragrance that filled the air.
"Roar—!"
A deafening dragon's roar rose from the bottom of the pool.
The next moment, a gigantic poison flood dragon burst out of the water, greedily devouring the medicinal energy.
As the medicinal energy entered its body, the black aura surrounding it began turning dark purple. Its already fearsome horns grew sharper, and its aura surged higher and higher.
"It's breaking through!"
Dugu Xuan clenched his fists nervously.
"Beast, even if you break through, you're still just a meal for Xuan."
Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted. The pressure of a Level 99 Soul Master swept out like a mountain bearing down on them.
The poison flood dragon, which had been in the middle of a frenzied evolution, suddenly sank under the terrifying pressure.
It was forced back down to the edge of the pool and couldn't move, terror filling its eyes.
A moment later, a dazzling red glow burst from the poison flood dragon. It was the sign that it had broken through to a hundred thousand years!
