The Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Displays Mighty Power, Medusa Gaze, Jade Phosphorous Divine Light!

Deep within the canyon.

The collision of ice and fire had turned this world upside down.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree finally revealed its true form.

It was a towering giant tree over twenty meters tall.

Its entire body was crimson, like a red-hot branding iron.

White-hot magma flowed through the dense cracks in its trunk.

Every leaf was a dancing cluster of flames.

Its root system tore itself from the canyon floor.

Hundreds of burning roots danced wildly in the air like giant pythons.

Every root that lashed across the ground left behind a charred trench.

It had no mouth, yet the entire canyon roared on its behalf.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King showed no fear.

Its massive, nine-meter-long body moved with lightning speed amidst the encirclement of roots.

The dual-colored ice and fire mane on its back trailed two brilliant tails of light as it moved at high speed.

It opened its blood-red maw.

An ice-blue breath surged forth, colliding with the incoming flaming roots with a thunderous crash.

Ice and fire exploded in the air.

White mist billowed.

The entire canyon felt as if it had been shoved into a giant steamer.

Several of the Crimson Flame Ancient Tree's flaming roots were frozen solid.

But more roots burst from the ground, closing in to strangle the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King.

The two soul beasts had been locked in battle for a long time.

A jade-green figure appeared silently above the canyon.

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back.

"Hiss--!"

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled and hissed behind him.

The pressure of a level ninety-two Title Douluo poured down without reservation.

He looked down at the battlefield below, a cold smile curling his lips.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree had been exhausted by the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King was also wounded.

There was a charred gash on its waist and abdomen burned by the flaming roots, and the movement of its front left leg was noticeably sluggish.

Both soul beasts were at the perfect moment for an attack; Dugu Bo could wait no longer.

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor True Body."

The massive phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor hissed toward the sky, and Dugu Bo's figure merged into it.

Just as he prepared to move in for the kill, both soul beasts suddenly ceased their movements.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree's flaming roots stopped pursuing the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King stopped dodging as well.

They turned their heads in unison.

The demon wolf's red and blue beast eyes locked onto Dugu Bo in mid-air.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree aimed at him as well.

The next moment, fire and ice struck simultaneously.

Hundreds of the Crimson Flame Ancient Tree's burning roots pointed toward the sky in unison.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King opened its mouth and unleashed a breath of mixed fire and ice.

Faced with an extreme threat, the two soul beasts instinctively abandoned their fight with each other to prioritize eliminating this more powerful outsider.

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted, and he cursed silently, "Damn it."

He had no time to think, instantly activating his sixty-thousand-year Medusa Gaze head bone soul skill.

"Medusa Gaze!"

The light of the head soul bone erupted from between his brows.

A grayish-white petrification beam struck the center of the Crimson Flame Ancient Tree's trunk with precision.

The gray color of petrification spread wildly from the center of the trunk.

The flaming roots about to lash out at him suddenly froze less than three meters away.

The flames extinguished, and the wood solidified.

In the span of a few breaths, the entire Crimson Flame Ancient Tree turned into a petrified giant.

Even the flames dancing on its leaves were frozen into gray stone carvings.

The breath of the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King was already inches away.

The surrounding air boiled from the interweaving of cold and heat, condensing into countless ice crystals.

Dugu Bo did not look back.

"Time Stasis!"

His eighth soul ring lit up.

A ring of invisible temporal ripples spread out from him as the center.

That breath, mere inches away, was frozen in mid-air.

Along with it, the Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King, baring its fangs behind the breath, was also locked in its charging posture.

However, Dugu Bo could feel that Medusa Gaze could not trap the Crimson Flame Ancient Tree.

The effect of Time Stasis could only last for a few breaths at most on a ninety-thousand-year soul beast.

But, it was enough.

He immediately took that snow-white immortal herb from his Soul Tool.

The Snowy Swan Kiss glowed with a gentle fluorescence amidst the sky full of jade light, as if it did not belong to this land of slaughter at all.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his body suddenly turning entirely emerald green, as if he had transformed into an emerald statue condensed from deadly poison.

"Jade Phosphorous Divine Light!"

This was his ninth soul skill!

Emerald-green poisonous light erupted from his translucent body.

The light was eerie and bewitching; wherever it passed, the air was violently corroded, emitting a hissing sound.

And the moment the Jade Phosphorous Divine Light pierced through the Snowy Swan Kiss, that gentle fluorescence was completely ignited.

The Snowy Swan Kiss trembled slightly, as if a sleeping swan had finally opened its eyes.

The originally emerald-green poisonous light suddenly turned a despair-inducing ink-green after passing through its leaves.

A corrosive power a hundred times more terrifying!

Even Dugu Bo's own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor avatar was trembling slightly.

The ink-green poisonous light flooded the entire canyon like a tsunami.

The petrified Crimson Flame Ancient Tree began to disintegrate in the poisonous light.

Countless cracks appeared on its grayish-white stone surface, and the emerald-green toxin seeped into the tree's heart along the fissures.

Time Stasis wore off.

"Awoo!!!"

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King let out a painful howl.

Its ice-and-fire-colored fur rapidly lost its luster in the poisonous light.

The powers of extreme cold and extreme heat erupted frantically, attempting to resist the deadly poison, but only accelerated the spread of the toxin.

"Boom!"

The trunk of the seventy-thousand-year Crimson Flame Ancient Tree collapsed with a roar in the poisonous light.

The limbs of the ninety-thousand-year Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King began to tremble violently.

Dugu Bo stood in mid-air, watching this scene.

"Gulp."

He swallowed hard.

He had scared even himself.

Was this power... a bit excessive?

Outside the canyon.

Ye Qing stood on a horizontal branch of an ancient tree, his black eyes fixed tightly on the direction of the canyon.

He saw a pillar of ink-green light shoot up from the depths of the canyon, dyeing half the sky an eerie green.

Under the reflection of the green light, the surrounding trees withered and blackened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Corroded spots appeared on their bark.

Ye Qing understood in an instant that Dugu Bo had already made his move.

He instinctively clenched his fists.

Old man, whether this succeeds or not depends on this one wave.

If you flip your cart, I'll be burning paper for you this time next year.

The dark green toxic light persisted for about several dozen breaths before slowly dissipating.

Ye Qing counted off twenty seconds.

Confirming that the toxic light had completely vanished, he leaped down from the horizontal branch of the Crimson Flame Ancient Tree and sprinted toward the canyon.

Just as he reached the valley entrance, he was so shocked by the scene before him that his mouth hung wide open.

The entire canyon looked as if some deity had taken a massive piece of sandpaper and polished it from end to finish.

The rock walls were covered in a layer of dark green crystals, resembling glass formed after being soaked in venom and left to solidify.

A strange, sweet fragrance permeated the air—the lingering scent of the potent poison as it dissolved.

If not for his Hundred Poison Immunity Body, he would have been poisoned to death just by approaching this range.

At the bottom of the canyon, two massive carcasses lay sprawled across the scorched earth.

The Crimson Flame Ancient Tree had completely collapsed.

The towering giant, originally over twenty meters tall, was now broken into several sections scattered across the ground.

The trunk was riddled with holes corroded through, with wisps of green smoke still rising from the edges.

The Ice and Fire Demon Wolf King was curled up on the other side of the canyon, its nine-meter-long body huddled into a ball.

Its signature dual-colored fur of ice and fire was now dull and lusterless, and the rise and fall of its abdomen was so faint it was nearly invisible.

Both soul beasts were still alive.

But both were teetering on the very edge of death.
