Dugu Xuan Breaks Through, Title: Nine Nether? 100,000-Year Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon Right Leg Bone!

"It is done!"

Dugu Ce's eyes sharpened.

"Master, strike!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo pressed his right hand into the void, and a massive golden crocodile claw manifested out of thin air, pinning the venomous dragon by its throat.

"Brother Xuan, if not now, when?"

Dugu Xuan hesitated no longer; his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul possessed him, and a beam of emerald toxic light instantly pierced the venomous dragon's skull.

As the life force of the venomous dragon ebbed away, a red spirit ring slowly emerged.

"A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring..."

Dugu Bo's voice trembled.

"I have lived for the better part of a lifetime, yet this is the first time I have laid eyes on such a supreme treasure."

"Grandfather, calm your heart and absorb it. With Master guarding us, no one can disturb you."

Dugu Ce reminded him in a deep voice.

Dugu Xuan nodded, sat cross-legged, and began to draw the red spirit ring toward himself.

Taking advantage of the interval while Dugu Xuan was absorbing the ring, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Dugu Ce.

"Ce'er, once Brother Xuan emerges from seclusion, shall we head straight to True Dragon Mountain?"

"No rush, Master."

A cruel arc curled at the corners of Dugu Ce's mouth.

"We shall go to Tiandou City first. I recall that Liu Erlong should be running a Blue Tyrant Academy there. First, we take the 'catalyst,' then we exterminate the sect; this is what one calls killing the person and punishing the heart."

"Hahaha, a fine 'killing the person and punishing the heart' indeed!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo patted Dugu Ce's shoulder.

"That Yu Yuanzhen prides himself on being the head of the True Dragons. When he discovers that his own niece has become your 'medicine catalyst,' and that the venomous insect he humiliated years ago has become a god he cannot afford to provoke, that 'little fellow's' expression will surely be interesting."

Little fellow?

Dugu Ce's mouth twitched slightly.

Indeed, only you, Master—the oldest person on the entire Douluo Continent—could refer to Yu Yuanzhen as a 'little fellow.'

Dugu Bo listened from the side, his heart racing with shock, yet he felt an incomparable sense of gratification.

"Ce'er, your schemes are even more ruthless than my poisons. But, I like it!"

Dugu Ce stood by the pool with his hands behind his back, gazing toward the direction of True Dragon Mountain, his voice hauntingly soft.

"Yu Yuanzhen, the life you owed my father back then, I shall have your entire family pay for it."

A while later, the red light enveloping Dugu Xuan gradually receded, and he let out a long breath as he stood up.

Beneath him, nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red—slowly pulsed!

The pressure of a level 91 spirit power surged forth without the slightest restraint!

To be precise, it was the peak of level 91!

Having just absorbed the spirit ring, Dugu Xuan's spirit power had already touched the bottleneck of level 92.

If nothing went wrong, Dugu Xuan would only need to cultivate for a short time longer to successfully break through to level 92.

"It is done!"

Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with wild joy.

"Quick, let us see the changes in your Martial Soul!"

Dugu Xuan's thoughts stirred, and the massive shadow of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent appeared; the originally emerald scales were now overlaid with a layer of purple-gold luster.

A single horn had even sprouted from its forehead, exuding the majesty of an emperor.

Dugu Bo watched, overjoyed.

Currently, on the entire Douluo Continent, those who possessed the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul were Dugu Bo, Dugu Ce, and Dugu Xuan.

But in terms of bloodline, Dugu Xuan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was the highest, for it contained the blood of a True Dragon.

Dugu Xuan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was secondary, possessing the poison dragon bloodline of the Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon.

In contrast, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor bloodline was the lowest.

It was merely a Serpent Emperor.

"The Martial Soul has evolved; it is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"

Dugu Ce exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

"Grandfather, how do you feel?"

"Better than ever before!"

Dugu Xuan clenched his fists.

The backlash from the snake venom that had plagued Dugu Xuan for years had been thoroughly suppressed into his dantian by the massive surge of hundred-thousand-year soul power.

Furthermore, following Dugu Bo's experience, he had condensed a Poison Core.

"The energy from this hundred-thousand-year soul ring not only helped me break through my bottleneck, but it has also completely revitalized my life force!"

"Good, very good!"

Dugu Bo slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

"Brother Xuan, now that you have become a Title Douluo, have you decided on your title?"

Dugu Xuan looked at the carcass of the Poison Flood Dragon by the pool, pondered for a moment, and said:

"This Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon helped me defy the heavens and change my fate; my title shall be 'Nine Nether'. From this day forward, this old man is the Nine Nether Douluo!"

It was not that Dugu Xuan did not want to use 'Jade Scale', the title derived from the Dugu family's iconic 'Jade Phosphorous Serpent' martial soul.

Back when Dugu Bo first broke through to the Title Douluo realm, the title he chose for himself was indeed 'Jade Scale Douluo'.

However, Dugu Bo later felt that the title 'Poison' was quite fitting, so he simply referred to himself as the Poison Douluo.

As a result, there were two ways the outside world referred to Dugu Bo.

One was 'Jade Scale Douluo', and the other was 'Poison Douluo'.

"Nine Nether Douluo, imposing!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly, his gaze then sharpening.

His right hand transformed into a massive, golden soul-power crocodile claw, which he thrust violently into the remains of the Poison Flood Dragon.

Following a harsh sound of grinding bones, Golden Crocodile Douluo pulled out a leg bone radiating a rich, crimson light.

"It truly appeared: the hundred-thousand-year Nine Nether Poison Flood Dragon Right Leg Bone."

Seeing this, Dugu Xuan was about to ask if Golden Crocodile Douluo would keep it.

However, he saw Golden Crocodile Douluo wave his hand, and the precious soul bone landed steadily in front of him.

"Second Worship, this..."

Dugu Xuan was stunned.

"Take it," Golden Crocodile Douluo said indifferently.

"This old man already absorbed a ninety-thousand-year right leg bone in my early years; this thing would be nothing more than gilding the lily for me. But for you, it is a true rebirth."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Dugu Ce, his eyes carrying a hint of profound meaning:

"Ce'er is right. Since we are going to collect a debt, we must make a grand display. You have just broken through, and your aura is not yet stable. Refining this soul bone immediately will allow you to firmly cement your realm as a Title Douluo."

"Many thanks to Master for your generosity!"

Dugu Ce bowed on behalf of his grandfather.

Dugu Xuan no longer declined; he took the soul bone, his eyes filled with a sense of resolve:

"Since that is the case, this old man will not stand on ceremony! Once I have finished refining it, we shall head to Tiandou City. We will first take that Liu Erlong, then go to True Dragon Mountain and raze the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to the ground!"

Dugu Ce had no interest in this right leg bone.

The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden by Tang Hao was Dugu Ce's true target!

It possessed a heaven-defying healing ability capable of regrowing flesh on bare bones.

As for the second 'flight' soul skill that Tang San gained after refining it in the original work?

There was no need to worry about that at all.

When different soul masters absorb the same soul bone, the soul skills they master are not necessarily the same.

Tang San gained a flight spirit skill after refining his bone because neither of his two Martial Souls could fly.

As for Dugu Ce, whether it was his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul or his Radiant Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, both were capable of flight.

Naturally, he had no need to worry that refining that spirit bone would result in a useless flight spirit skill.

Dugu Xuan immediately held his breath and focused, pressing the red-glowing leg bone, which radiated monstrous blood energy, against his right leg and beginning to channel its vast energy into his bone marrow.

Dugu Bo stood guard for his elder brother, then turned to look at Dugu Ce, asking in confusion:

"Ce'er, when you distributed the immortal herbs earlier, even this old man and your grandfather benefited immensely. When do you intend to use the few you kept for yourself?"
