Power Progression

Background

The Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon was identified by the Spirit Transmitter as a historically significant inherited mutated martial soul from the Sun Moon Empire. He stated that a soul master who awakened it and survived their cultivation would be able to surpass rank ninety and become a Titled Douluo 2.

Leng Yaozhu later connected the martial soul to the Xu Family, explaining that it had gone extinct from that bloodline eight thousand years earlier. She considered the historical mutation that once allowed the Xu Family's Sun martial soul to become the Purple Imperial Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon suspicious 7.

During Gu You's awakening, he witnessed a vision of an immense purple dragon whose destructive aura annihilated the surrounding starry sky. After it encountered nine-colored light, the dragon was torn apart and its skeleton vanished through a spatial rift. Gu You believed the vision depicted the progenitor of lesser dragons and its conflict with the Dragon God 2.
