Martial Soul Evolves Again? Poison Ancestor, Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor?!

Dugu Bo stroked his chin. If this Whale Rubber could truly strengthen the body, then could Yao'er absorb a Soul Ring close to ten thousand years for his Second Soul Ring?

"If that is truly the case, then wait a few more days. I'll help you hunt Spirit Beasts. Your father, mother, and I will hunt Soul Rings first and break through our bottlenecks!" Dugu Bo said after pondering for a moment.

Dugu Yao had innate twentieth-level Soul Power and a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, while Dugu Yan had innate tenth-level Soul Power. Neither of them was in a hurry to absorb Soul Rings; they could do so at any time.

"Let's do that, Grandpa." Dugu Yao nodded.

"Yao'er, there is one more matter where I may need your help! Our Dugu family actually has a legend, passed down from my great-great-great-grandfather."

"If the possessor of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul reaches the realm of a Titled Douluo, their Martial Soul will undergo an evolution—or perhaps a mutation!"

"It will become the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. I do not know whether this information is accurate, since it has been passed down for far too long. Besides, members of our Dugu family tend to have rather short lives."

"Yao'er, use your Spirit Sensing to see whether this is true," Dugu Bo said calmly.

This was a family legend, and he did not know when it had first been passed down. He could not tell whether it was true or false unless he waited until after absorbing a Soul Ring to learn the answer.

Wasn't Grandpa's Martial Soul in the original timeline the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul? The Snake Ancestor, with ferocious poison! It evolved from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul.

But Grandpa's Martial Soul is no longer the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul. It is the even more powerful Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul. I wonder whether it can evolve once again after he becomes a Titled Douluo!

Dugu Yao thought to himself. He then summoned Xiangliu to fly onto Dugu Bo's shoulder and begin absorbing his aura. This time, it absorbed for longer, and the answer provided by Spirit Sensing was even more accurate!

After receiving the answer, Dugu Yao's face broke into a smile. Dugu Bo asked excitedly, "Yao'er, how is it?! Is that legend true, or is it false?!"

"Grandpa, according to Spirit Sensing, if the possessor of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul can remain alive and cultivate to level ninety, their Martial Soul will evolve after they absorb a Soul Ring. It will evolve into the Snake Ancestor!"

"The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul! Its poison will be enhanced again, and the Soul Master will also condense a Poison Pill within their body. Half the poison in their body will be stored within the Poison Pill."

"It could be said that as long as the Poison Pill remains, their poison arts remain; if the Poison Pill is gone, their poison arts are gone! Fortunately, Grandpa is not yet a Titled Douluo, and you consumed the Ten Thousand Year Nine-Rank Ginseng King!"

"Otherwise, if the effects of remolding your body and reconstructing your human form destroyed the Poison Pill, it might have done more harm than good for Grandpa. Destroying the Poison Pill could cause irreversible damage!" Dugu Yao explained.

"And now, because Grandpa absorbed Poison Dragon Grass, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul. Yet that trait still remains!"

"In other words, after Grandpa absorbs a Soul Ring, his Martial Soul will evolve again! It will become the Poison Ancestor—the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul!"

Dugu Yao said with a smile. This so-called Poison Ancestor was only in comparison to other Martial Souls. Compared to his Xiangliu Martial Soul—

The Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul did not even deserve to carry Xiangliu's shoes with its title of Poison Ancestor!

"Poison Ancestor!" Dugu Xin cried out. His father had never told him that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul could evolve. Perhaps he believed Dugu Xin would not live long enough to become a Titled Douluo either.

"That's right!" Dugu Yao smiled. "Even if the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul evolves into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and becomes the Snake Ancestor, it is still ultimately a serpent-type Martial Soul, not a dragon-type Martial Soul!"

"Although serpents are also a type of dragon, they are not true dragons in the end! They will still be suppressed when facing powerful dragon-type Martial Souls!"

"But when the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul evolves into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul, it becomes a true dragon-type Martial Soul. Not to mention the emperor of the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragons—the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor!"

"Even when facing exceptionally powerful dragon-type Martial Souls, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor will not be inferior in the slightest!"

He knew that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul could evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, but he had not known how it evolved or whether becoming a Titled Douluo was the requirement.

Or perhaps it required absorbing a Soul Ring produced by a particular Spirit Beast. He could not be certain which of the two methods it was, but he had been more inclined toward the former.

The answer Spirit Sensing gave him was more detailed and easier to understand, proving that his guess had been correct. It was indeed the former.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo burst into laughter. "Hahaha! The legend is true! The legend of our Dugu family is true—the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul can evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul!"

"And now that I have absorbed Poison Dragon Grass, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul has long since become a dragon-type Martial Soul. Once I absorb a Soul Ring, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul will evolve into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor!"

"A dragon-type Martial Soul should be stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, shouldn't it? After all, that one doesn't have 'Emperor' in its name!" Dugu Bo said excitedly.

"Congratulations, Father, on your strength advancing further!"

"Congratulations, Grandpa, on your strength advancing further!"

Dugu Xin, Lin Wanqiu, Dugu Yao, and Dugu Yan offered their congratulations at the same time.

Meanwhile, Xiangliu, who was perched on Dugu Bo's shoulder and preparing to devour the poison within his body, discovered in astonishment that there was not a trace of poison inside him.

Then, with a dejected expression, it returned to Dugu Yao's shoulder, rubbing against him as it tearfully complained.

"You little glutton, you just ate. What, are you hungry again?" Dugu Yao reached out and stroked Xiangliu's snake head. He then placed Xiangliu atop a poisonous herb and let it devour the poison within it.

After all, the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye lacked everything except spiritual herbs. No matter how much Xiangliu ate, it would never finish them all.

"Grandpa, Father, Mother, and little sister, this is the cultivation method practiced by Fierce God Xiangliu—the Nine Nether Poison Scripture. By cultivating this method, you can open up Nine Nether Space within your dantian!"

"You can fuse all kinds of poison within your body, store them in Nine Nether Space, and use them freely. At the same time, you can cultivate the Nine Nether Poison Body and become immune to all poisons!"

"If you are killed, you can release it of your own accord, detonating all the poison within Nine Nether Space and perishing together with your enemy. You should cultivate this method from now on!"

A weathered, ancient black book suddenly appeared in Dugu Yao's hand. On its left side, four large characters were written vertically: Nine Nether Poison Scripture.

When he had obtained the Nine Nether Poison Scripture, he had already thought of giving it to his grandfather, father, mother, and little sister to cultivate.

No time like the present—today would do. They were all family, after all!
