Martial Soul Evolution!
A wound about an inch long opened up, and blood gushed out instantly!
But this blood was no ordinary scarlet!
It is like a liquid fused with molten rubies and sapphires, shimmering with the fiery intensity of molten gold and the deep blue luster of Mystic Ice in the deep sea, exuding a rich and irresistible fragrance of life, interspersed with a touch of soul-stirring, divine pressure!
The air was instantly filled with the crisp freshness of newly sprouted grass and the sulfurous scent of molten lava.
"Xiao Xia! You!"
Bibi Dong's fierce rebuke was like a thunderclap from the heavens!
The shock, anger, heartache, and terrifying pressure contained in that voice made the air in the entire valley freeze!
Her fingers gripping Lin Xia's shoulders tightened suddenly, with such force that they almost Crush Grip his shoulder bones!
A storm raged within his purple eyes, a raging fury even more intense than the one he had shown by the spring, a fury mixed with terror!
That damned brat! How dare he! How dare he harm his own essence again in front of me!
However, Lin Xia was even faster! Before Bibi Dong could completely unleash her power and imprison him, he endured the excruciating pain in his shoulder blade and flicked his left finger!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three drops of essence blood, condensed like pearls and shimmering with divine radiance, carrying Lin Xia's will, shot with unparalleled precision into Dugu Yan's mouth, which was slightly open in pain, as if they possessed life itself!
The moment the essence and blood left his body, the rosy glow on Lin Xia's face, a result of the initial formation of his divine body, vanished instantly, turning as pale as gold paper. All his strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, his vision went black, and his body slumped down uncontrollably, landing right in Bibi Dong's arms, which she had slightly loosened in shock and anger.
"Master..."
Lin Xia's voice was as thin as a whisper, carrying a deep weariness and an undeniable stubbornness. He struggled to raise his head and look at Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face, which was even more breathtaking in her rage.
"Sister Yanyan... took that Immortal Herb because she believed in me... How could I, Lin Xia... sit idly by and watch her efforts fail... and she perish..."
Before he could finish a sentence, he couldn't help but cough violently, each breath triggering the emptiness and stinging pain caused by the depletion of his vital essence.
Bibi Dong stared intently at the pale face of the boy in her arms and the glaring wound on his arm, her chest heaving violently and her knuckles turning white from clenching her fists.
That overwhelming anger, when faced with the almost stubborn sense of responsibility and clear persistence in Lin Xia's eyes, was like hitting Wailing Wall, ultimately failing to erupt.
In the end, all the shock, anger, fear, and heartache turned into a trembling sigh, suppressed to the extreme, and dissipated in the night wind.
She stopped speaking, but tightened her arms, holding the weak Lin Xia in her embrace with even more care and security, as if she wanted to meld him into her very bones and protect him.
That warm embrace, carrying a hint of cool fragrance, became Lin Xia's only support at that moment.
The master and apprentice both turned their gazes to the figure on the rock that would decide their fate.
The three drops of Divine Blood, upon entering her mouth, were like three miniature stars that exploded within Dugu Yan's body, which was on the verge of collapse!
An indescribable, warm torrent first swept over her throat and internal organs, which were Burn with holes from the Toxic, like a long-parched, cracked earth suddenly receiving divine grace and sweet rain.
Following that is an even more magnificent and vast Origin Power life!
This power, bearing the divine imprint of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, gently yet irresistibly took over the violent and out-of-control power of the Toxic immortal Immortal Herb within Dugu Yan's body!
Like the most skilled animal tamer.
The icy blue divinity precisely froze, organized, and guided those rampaging, destructive toxins, forcibly transforming them from chaotic destroyers into an orderly flow of energy.
The Red divinity acts like a furnace, burning and refining the violent impurities within, leaving only the purest, most potent Toxic essence.
Lin Hao's life essence, like the strongest thread, gently stitched together Dugu Yan's repeatedly torn meridians and flesh, nourishing her faltering soul.
The suffocating, seemingly endless pain of dissolving and tearing subsided rapidly, like the receding tide!
Dugu Yan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, her clenched teeth loosened a bit, and she uttered a few indistinct murmurs.
Her unfocused pupils regained a sliver of clarity, and although her body was still trembling slightly from the lingering pain, her consciousness, which was on the verge of collapse, was finally Sheer Force pulled back!
"Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo gasped in shock, overjoyed and incredulous, the dam of despair in his heart instantly shattering!
He clearly felt that the destructive storm within his granddaughter was being Sheer Force calmed and straightened by an incomprehensible force!
He turned his head sharply, his gaze Lock-On on Lin Xia's pale face—the boy was leaning weakly in the Pope's arms, the wound on his arm was slowly healing under the suppression of Bibi Dong's powerful Soul Power, but the weakness caused by the loss of his essence was undeniable.
Gratitude, shock, guilt, a heavy sense of resolute determination to entrust the entire future of the Dugu Family to him... countless emotions surged and crashed in the chest of Dugu Bo, the proud and aloof Poison Douluo.
Dugu Bo's lips moved violently, as if he wanted to say something, to express the unbearable gratitude, but in the end, all the words were stuck in his throat, turning into only a heavy nod, heavier than a mountain!
That look in their eyes was a silent vow.
Your His Highness the Holy Son, from this day forward, Dugu Bo's life and the future of the Dugu Family belong to you!
Time slipped away quietly amidst the misty haze of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A day and a night felt like an eternity.
The valley was deathly silent, save for the gurgling of the spring and the increasingly steady and powerful fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from Dugu Yan.
Around the rock where she sat cross-legged, the resilient and exotic flowers and plants seemed to worship, their leaves turning towards her.
The Toxic aura permeating the air did not weaken; instead, it became purer and more subtle, carrying an ancient and majestic rhythm, like a slumbering Ferocious Beast awakening.
Finally, when the first rays of the rising sun cast their golden light upon the valley on the second day, illuminating Dugu Yan, the intense surge of Soul Power within her, which had lasted for a day and a night, reached an unprecedented peak!
Boom--!
An indescribable pressure erupted from her center!
It was no longer the cold and eerie poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but a terrifying aura that combined divine majesty, deadly Captivate, and absolute chill!
The rocky ground cracked inch by inch around her, and tiny pebbles were lifted up by an invisible force field and suspended in the air!
At this moment, the entire spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well stopped churning. The surface of the water was like a mirror, reflecting the magnificent yet eerie celestial phenomenon above—half of the sky was dyed with deep, dark green poisonous clouds, while the other half shimmered with an eerie purple light!
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul phantom that had been guarding the side let out an unprecedented hiss, as if it came from the ancient primordial world!
Its form twisted and expanded violently amidst the golden and purple light!
Emerald green scales peeled away, sublimated, and reformed in the light!
The thick snake body stretched and sculpted wildly, shedding its reptilian form and beginning to outline a breathtakingly beautiful female silhouette!
The hideous snake head disintegrated in the radiance, replaced by the slowly coalescing outline of a woman's face, not yet fully clear, yet already revealing a breathtaking Charm and icy divinity!
"Roar--!"
A sharp shriek, neither human nor beastly, yet possessing a strange majesty and magnetism, burst forth from Dugu Yan's mouth!
She had kept her eyes closed for a day and a night, then suddenly opened them!
Buzz!
