Poison Emperor's Swan Song, Angelic Slaughter, Absolute Overwhelming

"Impossible!"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened round, his face filled with fury and panic.

The poisonous venom he had unleashed with all his strength—

had not even budged the outermost layer of his opponent's defensive barrier.

"Old Poison, and you dared to come picking a fight with that little skill? Get ready to collect your death package!"

Qian Sha Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his wanton mockery striking straight at the heart.

Dugu Bo's face turned ashen, his teeth nearly shattering from the force of his bite. He no longer dared to hold anything back.

"Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"

"Hiss!"

A deep roar shook the valley as Dugu Bo's body rapidly expanded.

A colossal serpent over thirty meters long, covered in sturdy emerald scales, burst through the waves of mud and rose from the ground.

The giant serpent coiled in the center of the gorge, its foul-smelling tongue stirring up showers of bloody rain with every flick.

"Medusa's Gaze!"

The snake's skull blazed with light as its head Soul Bone skill erupted.

Two thick emerald beams, like pillars supporting the heavens, swept through the void, carrying laws that tore apart life itself.

Wherever the beams passed,

whether flowing light and shadows or howling winds, everything fell into a deathly petrified stillness.

This was the control-type divine skill bestowed upon Dugu Bo by the Medusa Skull, capable of petrifying everything.

"Turn into rubble for me!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor let out an earth-shaking hiss.

"Playing with control, are you?"

A mocking smile curled across Qian Sha Yu's lips.

This petrifying beam was essentially a dual assault of spiritual power and laws.

It had happened to strike directly at his greatest strength.

His sixth Soul Ring shone brightly!

Angel's Blood Wail!

The Killing Angel Martial Soul behind Qian Sha Yu shed two lines of bloody tears, releasing a wail like that of an inferno in the Nine Netherworlds.

Blood-red radiance surged out like a tidal wave, effortlessly melting Medusa's Gaze.

Dugu Bo did not even have time to make his next move.

The enormous blood-red six wings behind Qian Sha Yu suddenly flapped, whipping up a raging gale.

He raised the divine Slaughter Blood Sword high, its scarlet blade erupting with destructive sword light that pierced the clouds.

Silent Slaughter Sword Pressure!

Heavenly Punishment Demon Sword Burial!

The purest, most extreme destructive sword intent surged forth.

This was not a complicated technique, but an utterly merciless crushing blow driven by absolute power and killing intent.

The blood-red crescent-shaped sword pressure came down heavily against the remaining petrifying beam.

A crisp shattering sound rang through the void!

Medusa's petrifying beam, said to be able to seal everything, instantly turned to powder.

The blood-red crescent did not lose any momentum, smashing into the giant serpent's vital point with the force to destroy all things.

"Pfft!"

The hard emerald scales shattered and flew apart like fragile sheets of paper.

Blood sprayed wildly from the enormous serpent's body as the violent sword pressure sent it flying, before it crashed heavily into a pile of rubble.

"Hiss—!"

The giant serpent let out an incomparably miserable shriek, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body completely collapsed.

Dugu Bo crashed heavily into a heap of mud, coughing up scalding blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

The fluctuations of Soul Power around him rapidly faded like the last flicker of a dying candle.

Trembling, Dugu Bo wiped the organ fragments from the corner of his mouth with his withered hand. A flash of resolve and madness passed through his eyes.

"This old man... hasn't lost yet!"

Dugu Bo's bones crackled throughout his body, and the corners of his eyes nearly split apart.

His body, sprawled in the mud, forcibly pushed itself upright, organ fragments hanging from the corner of his mouth.

His eighth pitch-black Soul Ring erupted with dazzling light around him.

Madness born of mutual destruction ignited in the old poison's eyes.

"This old man has roamed the continent his entire life. Even if I am reduced to dust today, I will never let you have it easy!"

"Eighth Spirit Skill, Time Freeze!"

An incomparably eerie fluctuation of laws spread wildly along the muddy ground.

The space within several hundred meters fell into absolute stillness as the earth trembled.

The raging wind ceased, and broken stones hung in midair.

Charred flecks of mud dancing through the sky froze in the air.

Even Qian Sha Yu's fluttering red hair and the mocking curve of his lips were locked tightly within fixed time.

Every speck of dust on the battlefield had been pressed with a pause button.

Dugu Bo panted heavily, forcing out wild laughter from the depths of his throat.

"Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo collapsed into the slick mud, letting out hoarse, frenzied laughter.

"So what if your killing intent reaches the heavens?"

"Before a time-based spirit skill, you are nothing but a puppet unable to move!"

"This old man will trade this wretched life for the fall of a god of slaughter like you. This deal is absolutely worth it!"

Dugu Bo forcibly mobilized every last trace of poisonous Soul Power remaining in his meridians.

Ninth Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Divine Light!

Countless streams of emerald poison compressed into a destructive green rainbow spanning the sky, shooting straight toward Qian Sha Yu's brow.

This attack contained the lifelong obsession and final swan song of the Poison Douluo.

A mad smile hung on Dugu Bo's lips as he waited to see his opponent melt into black water.

At the heart of frozen time and space, a hint of amusement flickered deep within Qian Sha Yu's scarlet demonic eyes.

Within the stilled time and space.

Qian Sha Yu's body appeared unable to move, yet an almost crazed amusement surfaced in the depths of his scarlet pupils.

"Want to use time to trap me?"

"A mere control spirit skill from an eighth Soul Ring, and you dare show off before me?"

He had always known all of Dugu Bo's abilities, so he had naturally prepared for this.

Slaughter Demon Body at full power!

All the forbidden ferocity contained within it awakened.

The red-and-black blood energy behind him transformed into a towering pillar of blood that reached from heaven to earth.

His incomparably violent killing intent resembled an unmatched ancient ferocious beast breaking free from its shackles.

Before absolute power, every fancy rule was nothing but a paper toy.

His ninth Soul Ring, a blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, erupted with towering bloody radiance!

Myriad Silence Slaughter Heaven!

An absolute killing will beyond mortal reason descended!

Overwhelming blood light exploded from Qian Sha Yu's body.

The purest, most extreme will to slaughter forcibly spread open an independent crimson world.

The frozen space was forcibly torn apart by this tyrannical power.

Crack!

With a crisp sound like shattering glass, the Time Freeze domain, said to be capable of locking down everything, instantly collapsed.

Countless fragments of time and space crumbled inch by inch in the air.

The wild grin on Dugu Bo's face froze in his throat.

His green-glowing serpent eyes contracted into pinpoints.

"Impossible!"

"How could you possibly shatter Time Freeze?"

Qian Sha Yu looked at him as coldly as though he were an ant on the ground.

"What is impossible about it?"

"On Douluo Continent, when it comes to poison, I, Qian Sha Yu, would call you the strongest. But in every other aspect, you are still far too lacking."

Amid the countless shattered fragments of space ahead, Qian Sha Yu elegantly stepped forward.

His red hair danced in the wind, his expression cold as he looked upon a dead thing.

"Old Poison, you've finished using your ultimate move."

"Now, it's my turn to send you on your way."

Qian Sha Yu raised his right arm, and the divine Slaughter Blood Sword in his hand gleamed with bone-chilling cold light.

His eighth Soul Ring suddenly lit up!

Angelic Demon Sword of Judgment!

A blood-red rainbow spanning heaven and earth burst from the sword's tip.

"Slash!"

The Jade Phosphor Divine Light, which had gathered all of Dugu Bo's life force, was split in two as easily as a knife cutting tofu before the blood-red rainbow.

Green poisonous light collapsed and exploded to either side, corroding countless deep pits into the muddy ground.

The blood-red rainbow was unstoppable, passing across Dugu Bo's neck in a thousandth of a second.

Absolute killing intent instantly severed all nerve sensation and pain.

Qian Sha Yu sheathed his sword, the blood-red six wings behind him gently flapping.

Dugu Bo only felt his field of vision abruptly rise.

The spinning sky and dispersing poisonous mist whirled rapidly through his sight.

The flow of time stretched infinitely within his consciousness.

There was no imagined agony, only numbness cold to the marrow.

The old poison had lived for most of his life, yet no hatred toward Spirit Hall surfaced in his mind before death.

Even Tang San, whom he had poured everything into helping, failed to leave the slightest trace in his consciousness.

He felt only immense absurdity and mockery.

He had worked for Tang San for nothing, and even his lair, the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, had been uprooted by that brat.

In the end,

he had lost his life here,

while Tang San was probably still plotting how to keep squeezing out what little value he had left.

Working until he lost everything was truly a first.

The final scene of his life flashing before his eyes froze on a young girl in a dress.

Yan Yan.

His only granddaughter.

She had already grown up.

Yet he would never again see Yan Yan start a family.

Scarlet liquid, whether poisonous blood or tears, flowed from the corner of Dugu Bo's eye.

Without the protection of a Titled Douluo like him,

how was Yan Yan, alone and helpless, supposed to survive in this soul master world where the strong devoured the weak?

What filled him with the greatest despair and fear was that he knew Dugu Yan's stubborn temperament all too well.

If Yan Yan were blinded by hatred and tried to seek revenge against this red-haired demon king before her—

that would be no different from a moth flying into a flame, seeking her own death!

"Yan Yan... don't seek revenge..."

"Live on... you must live on..."

His silent cries echoed through his remaining consciousness.

But he could no longer make another sound.

"Remember this in your next life: find the right boss when you work. Don't be some fool's scapegoat and free labor again."

Even capitalists would weep at Tang San's bloodsucking methods, yet he had actually thought he was profiting.

Qian Sha Yu swung the Slaughter Blood Sword through the air, and the blood-red light faded.
