This Ninth Soul Skill, It Harms Heaven and Earth, But Not Dugu!

"Let's start with a Titled Douluo's ninth soul skill! This ninth soul skill truly deserves to be called a Titled Douluo's ultimate ability! Its power is incredibly formidable, far surpassing the first eight soul skills!"

"Because of the ninth soul skill, the difference between me before becoming a Titled Douluo and me after becoming one is like a chasm!" Dugu Bo remarked as he walked.

Only those who had truly become Titled Douluo could clearly understand that the gap between a Titled Douluo and a Soul Fighting Douluo was not merely due to the ninth soul skill!

There were also many other factors, such as the vastness of one's soul power.

It could be said that even the weakest Titled Douluo could fend off several powerful Soul Fighting Douluo at once.

In a one-on-one fight, an ordinary Soul Fighting Douluo could hardly inflict any meaningful damage upon a Titled Douluo. It was a complete, all-around suppression!

Moreover, if a powerhouse like a Titled Douluo—a true weapon of mass destruction—were placed on a battlefield...

With the terrifying might of their soul power, it would not be impossible for them to overturn the entire battlefield single-handedly!

"Father, why were you running so fast? We know you wanted to hurry back to see Yao'er and Yanyan, but there was no need to rush this much, was there? Ah, I'm exhausted!"

Everyone turned toward the voice.

They saw Dugu Xin walking toward them, panting heavily, with Lin Wanqiu close behind him. The two had evidently worn themselves out trying to catch up with Dugu Bo.

"Father, Mother, welcome home!" Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan said in unison as they watched the two approach.

They had just been wondering why Grandpa had returned without Father and Mother in sight. So they had been lagging behind.

Though Dugu Xin was gasping for breath, his face was beaming with a smile. "Come on, come on, let's go inside first. Whatever it is, we can talk about it indoors."

Once the five of them arrived at the Reception Hall, the servants began brewing tea. Dugu Xin picked up a teacup and drained it in one gulp.

Still panting, he said, "After absorbing our Soul Rings, those Immortal Herbs gave us an absolutely outrageous boost!"

His gaze fell upon Dugu Yao, and he smiled warmly. "Yao'er, you deserve great credit for this. You're our greatest contributor! If not for the help of the Immortal Herbs, it might have taken us several more years to become Soul Sages."

"Your mother and I have now reached the astonishing Soul Power Level of seventy-three. That is entirely thanks to the Immortal Herbs!"

Level seventy-three. Soul Sages at level seventy-three, immediately after absorbing their Soul Rings!

Thinking back, Dugu Xin had only been a level-sixty-eight Soul Emperor, while his wife Lin Wanqiu had merely been a level-sixty-five Soul Emperor. Yet in just these few short days...

His Soul Power Level had surged by five whole levels—five entire levels! Lin Wanqiu's improvement was even more outrageous. Her Soul Power Level had jumped by eight levels at once, bringing her straight to level seventy-three!

Under normal circumstances, such a rate of soul power growth would absolutely be considered an unorthodox path. It would make one's soul power unstable and might even lower one's future potential!

But what they had absorbed were Immortal Herbs. What were Immortal Herbs? The finest among Top-grade Spirit Grass, the kings among spirit grasses! They were botanical treasures beyond compare!

Cause their soul power to become unstable? That was even more impossible!

Even now, the medicinal properties of the Immortal Herbs remained within their bodies, waiting to be refined.

Hearing this, Dugu Yao grinned but said nothing. This was Father and Mother's fortunate encounter—was it not also his own?

A moment later, Dugu Xin had recovered. Looking at his father with a mischievous grin, he said, "Father, introduce your Martial Soul and soul skills to Yao'er and Yanyan. I'm sure they'll be utterly shocked!"

Back then, it had always been Dugu Yao shocking them. Now, it was their turn to shock Dugu Yao!

Dugu Bo nodded, then immediately released his Martial Soul. The emerald-green Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul appeared before everyone's eyes!

Compared to the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul possessed far deeper, more terrifying eyes. Being watched by it felt as though one were being stared down by some peerless venomous creature, sending chills through the heart!

Its entire body was majestic and domineering, exuding an indescribable aura. Though Dugu Bo had deliberately restrained it, it still pressured everyone present!

At the center between its dragon horns was a fleshy protrusion resembling a crown, as though it wore the coronet of an emperor. It was exceptionally eye-catching.

Everyone could clearly feel that indescribable aura. At the same time, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor radiated a faint, intermittent dragon's might!

Dugu Xin felt it most clearly. After all, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor was the father Martial Soul of the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon, standing above his own Martial Soul.

His heart could not help trembling. That trembling stirred the depths of his soul and could not be concealed.

Dugu Yao's mouth hung wide open, his eyes round as saucers. The Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul was unmistakably an Eastern dragon, with five claws!

If its body had not been such a deep emerald green, but azure instead, it would have looked extremely similar to the Azure Dragon, the Divine Beast of ancient times!

"So this is Grandpa's Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor. It's unbelievably cool! Look at that fleshy protrusion between its dragon horns—it resembles an emperor's crown and makes it feel even more domineering, as though it could awe the entire world!"

"Unfortunately, my Martial Soul is Xiangliu. If I could choose, I really wish my Martial Soul were a dragon too!" Dugu Yao sighed. Xiangliu was powerful, but...

As someone descended from the dragon, he had always felt something indescribable toward dragons—especially Eastern dragons.

Dugu Bo withdrew his Martial Soul and said with a smile, "After evolving into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Martial Soul received an all-around enhancement! As for my ninth soul skill, the ultimate ability of a Soul Master, it is called Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light!"

"Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light?" Dugu Yao asked in confusion.

"That's right, Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light. This soul skill can unleash the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor's poison to its absolute limit. Not only does the attack possess tyrannical, overwhelming corrosive power—"

"It can also instantly erode the opponent's soul power and life force. Most importantly, if an opponent is struck by my attack, it comes with the ability to spread poison!"

"It can turn one into two, two into three, and three into infinity. It is a large-scale offensive skill. If used properly, against a densely packed crowd, slaughtering an entire city would be no difficult task!"

"If it were combined with the Snowy Swan Kiss's effect, the results would be simply unimaginable! How many cities would there be for me to slaughter? Still, it would be far too harmful to the natural order!"

Dugu Bo spoke endlessly, the smile on his face nearly overflowing. Becoming a Titled Douluo had been his wish for many years.

Yet now that he had truly become a Titled Douluo, it did not feel all that extraordinary. He was not even particularly ecstatic. All he wanted was to share this joy with his two grandchildren.

"Hiss—" Dugu Yao drew in a sharp breath. In the original timeline, Grandpa's ninth soul skill had been Jade Phosphor Divine Light, which likewise possessed the trait of poison propagation.

As a result, in the future, it had nearly wiped out Spirit Hall's army at Jialing Pass!

As for this Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light, it was a Soul Skill that emerged after the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul had evolved twice. Its true effects were likely far more terrifying than Dugu Bo had described!

It might offend the harmony of heaven, but it would not harm the Dugu family!

If any major power drove them into a corner, a single Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light would wipe them out completely—be it a sect with a ten-thousand-year legacy or one that had endured for a thousand years!

Especially with its terrifying ability to spread poison. Even if an army of a million stood before Dugu Bo and charged at him, with the Dragon Emperor Annihilation Divine Light in hand, an army of a million would be no different from a single person!

Killing a million soldiers would be as easy as slaughtering dogs and chickens!

And if the effects of the Snowy Swan Kiss were added on top of that, perhaps its true power could only be known once it was actually used.

Seeing Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan so shocked that they were at a loss for words, Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "Although your grandfather's Soul Skill is incredibly powerful and domineering, it cannot be used lightly. Otherwise, it would cause an unimaginable disaster! With great power come limitations!"

Calling him a Humanoid Disaster would not be an exaggeration.

Dugu Yao nodded slightly. This Soul Skill was already immensely powerful on its own, yet it even came with the ability to spread. Whether low-level Soul Masters or ordinary armies, anyone who became enemies with his grandfather would die no matter how many came. Its upper limit was outrageously high!

Seeing Dugu Yao's expression, Dugu Bo was delighted. This was exactly the reaction he wanted. If he was not going to show off the effects of this Soul Skill to his family, then who was he supposed to show them to—his enemies? He was not sick.

As he underwent a complete transformation and reshaped his humanity, his mindset was changing as well.

Just then, Dugu Yan suddenly asked, "Grandfather, Father, Mother, have you successfully cultivated the Nine Nether Poison Scripture and opened up Nine Nether Space?"

Thinking of her performance over the past two days, she did not know whether it was because her comprehension was poor, because she was simply stupid, or for some other reason.

Her brother had entered the basics so quickly and opened up Nine Nether Space, but what about her? She was practically starting to doubt herself. She had no idea how her grandfather and parents were progressing in their cultivation.
