The Beast God Sect Rises, Suppressing Dugu

"Not bad!"

"I am Dugu Bo."

"Since you recognize my Martial Soul and identity, you should know my temperament and methods!"

Seeing that Niu Gao had recognized his Martial Soul and identity, Dugu Bo first nodded.

Then, a cold gleam flickered in his eyes as he said icily, "I found this valley first. Many of the herbs within were planted by me, and even the poison formation outside was personally set up by me..."

"So when I say this is my territory, it is. Anyone who wants to set their sights on it must first get past me."

"You will all leave now!"

"I can overlook your trespassing. Otherwise, even if you have strength in numbers, I can still pay any price necessary to bury every last one of you here and turn you into nourishment for my herbs."

Faced with Dugu Bo's threat.

Before Niu Gao could speak, Jin Feng suddenly said, "Grandfather, there's no need to waste words with him. Beat him into submission first... The [Beast God Sect] we've prepared for all these years is also due to be established."

To Jin Feng.

He had three objectives in coming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

First, the immortal herbs within the valley.

Second, to help himself, his grandfather, and his uncle break through.

Third, to subdue Dugu Bo, this powerful independent cultivator, and make him the first Titled Douluo consecrated elder of the [Beast God Sect]!

And if he wanted to subdue Dugu Bo, words alone were clearly not enough. They had to fight and let him witness the power of the [Beast Scripture] for himself.

Hearing this.

Niu Gao's eyes lit up.

He instantly understood Jin Feng's meaning.

After sizing up Dugu Bo before him, he grinned and said confidently, "No problem. Just wait here. Your grandfather will suppress him right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Niu Gao immediately stepped forward.

He said to Dugu Bo, "Poison Douluo, since we both want this place, let's settle it with strength!"

"The two of us will fight one-on-one. If you can defeat me, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, we'll leave immediately. But if you lose, not only will this valley's herb garden belong to us, you'll have to come with us as well. What do you say?"

Hearing this.

Dugu Bo, challenged by an eight-ring Soul Douluo, was so enraged that he laughed instead.

Certain that he could not lose, he paid no attention to the unfairness of these terms.

He immediately shouted, "A mere eight-ring Soul Douluo dares act so arrogantly before this Titled Douluo? Since you insist on courting death, I will grant your wish today!"

Seeing Dugu Bo agree.

Niu Gao wasted no more words. He stomped his foot and shot off the Golden Horned Behemoth's back like a cannonball, charging toward Dugu Bo.

Very soon.

The two began fiercely battling each other.

Violent Soul Power fluctuations swept through the entire valley. Even the aftershocks of their battle made the ground tremble, while broken rocks continually rolled down from the cliffs.

Meanwhile, Jin Feng stood atop the Golden Horned Behemoth and watched the battle below with an incomparably calm expression, his eyes full of confidence in his grandfather Niu Gao's strength.

In his view.

After its evolution and mutation, the Golden Horned Scaled Rhino Martial Soul surpassed Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul in every aspect.

Moreover, with the support of the Beast Scripture, his grandfather's Soul Power endurance and recovery speed were several times greater than Dugu Bo's.

As for Dugu Bo.

Although he possessed one more ninth soul skill than Niu Gao, Niu Gao had an additional fifty-thousand-year torso soul bone inherited from the Defense Clan.

Including soul bone skills.

The two sides possessed exactly the same number of skills.

Therefore.

In a prolonged battle.

Niu Gao, whose physical body was unmatched, whose attacks were fierce, and whose Soul Power endurance was greater, could absolutely defeat Dugu Bo, whose one-on-one combat strength ranked at the bottom among Titled Douluos.

And in fact.

The battle's eventual course.

Was indeed exactly as Jin Feng had predicted.

As time passed and they exchanged over a hundred moves, Dugu Bo's breathing had already become hurried, and exhaustion was written all over his face.

In contrast, Niu Gao's aura remained domineering and robust, while his battle intent soared ever higher.

"Damn it!"

Looking at Niu Gao, whose aura was still steady, Dugu Bo was both shocked and furious. "What kind of damned Martial Soul is that?"

"Why can't my Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's venom break through the defenses of an eight-ring Soul Douluo like you?"

Facing Dugu Bo's curiosity, Niu Gao grinned. "Defeat me, and I'll tell you the answer!"

At that response.

Dugu Bo's face darkened as though water could drip from it. Having been famous for decades, he could never accept losing to an eight-ring Soul Douluo!

With that thought.

His seventh soul ring suddenly lit up. As black light bloomed, a soul bone emitting dazzling radiance appeared on his forehead.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Soul Bone Skill: Medusa's Gaze!"

As the two shouts rang out, Dugu Bo's body abruptly expanded, transforming into a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor dozens of zhang long. Then, two incomparably dazzling snow-white beams burst from his emerald snake eyes and blasted toward Niu Gao with overwhelming force.

Seeing Dugu Bo unleash a desperate killing move.

Niu Gao did not dare be careless either.

With a low roar, he also activated his seventh soul ring and unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a Golden Horned Scaled Rhino as enormous as a mountain.

As golden light erupted around his body and his defenses were raised to the limit, a golden Soul Power shockwave condensed upon the golden rhinoceros horn atop his head and crashed fiercely into Medusa's Gaze.

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion.

The golden Soul Power shockwave collided with the snow-white beams of Medusa's Gaze.

In an instant.

Starting from the point where the two attacks collided, the golden Soul Power shockwave became coated in ash-gray at a visible speed, and the petrification effect rapidly spread backward.

After only a few breaths.

The snow-white Medusa's Gaze rays released by Dugu Bo broke through layer after layer of obstruction and struck the Golden Horned Scaled Rhino that Niu Gao had become.

For a moment.

Starting from the golden horn on its head, the Golden Horned Scaled Rhino was petrified bit by bit, the effect rapidly spreading toward its body.

Just as Dugu Bo believed that Niu Gao would be completely petrified and lose the match.

"Soul Bone Skill: Giant Rhino Tyrant Body!"

With a furious shout, dazzling light suddenly erupted from the Golden Horned Scaled Rhino's chest.

After Niu Gao activated his torso soul bone and unleashed the Giant Rhino Tyrant Body soul bone skill, which could negate all control effects.

An incomparably domineering force erupted from the torso soul bone and instantly swept through Niu Gao's entire body, helping him break free of the petrification, dispel all negative effects, and strengthen his power and defense.

At the same time.

Before the utterly stunned Dugu Bo could recover his senses.

Niu Gao activated the head soul bone he had absorbed several years ago, condensing an invisible Spirit Spike that accurately struck the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's head.

For a moment.

After being struck by the Spirit Spike, Dugu Bo only felt a burst of agonizing pain in his mind. Then, he could no longer maintain his Martial Soul Avatar and reverted to human form.

"Pfft~"

As the Martial Soul Avatar collapsed.

Dugu Bo's face turned pale as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Staggering several steps backward, he muttered in disbelief, "I... lost!"

"I actually..."

"Really lost to a Soul Douluo!"

Seeing this, Niu Gao voluntarily dismissed his Martial Soul Avatar and returned to human form, walking over to Dugu Bo, who could not accept his defeat.

"According to our previous agreement, this place belongs to us, and you must join us as well!"

Hearing this.

Dugu Bo, as if all his strength had drained away, waved his hand and said, "I am not someone who refuses to accept defeat. You won, so the herb garden naturally belongs to you."

"But you want me to submit!"

"Never!"
