Soul Power Reaches Level 30, Entering the Otherspace Again

Ever since Dugu Yan and Dugu Yao left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they had gone in only once a week to check in. Even when she saw Yu Tianheng, she kept far away from him.

She gave him no chance to approach her at all. A full month and a half had passed, and throughout that time, Dugu Yan cultivated tirelessly every day.

She had successfully opened up Nine Nether Space, though the space she created was rather small. If Dugu Yao's space was the size of a thumb—

Then Dugu Yan's was only the size of a bean. Yet despite being only bean-sized, it held a world within and could still store a great deal of venom.

After she opened Nine Nether Space, Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, and Lin Wanqiu followed suit and successfully opened their own Nine Nether Spaces, which were about the same size as Dugu Yan's.

Once everyone had succeeded, Dugu Yao gave them Xiangliu's venom to store within their Nine Nether Spaces. But it had to be said—

Xiangliu's venom was truly tyrannical!

Even the poison of Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, would be completely assimilated by Xiangliu's venom within moments of entering Nine Nether Space.

Discarding the dross and retaining the essence, a single drop of Xiangliu's venom had already reached an extremely terrifying level. At the same time, during this period—

Dugu Yao cultivated day and night, refining his Soul Power. His Soul Power Level had long risen from Level 28 to Level 30.

He had met the conditions to enter the Otherspace again, enter the Five Emperors Platform, and receive Fierce God Xiangliu's Third Inheritance. Meanwhile, in the Reception Hall—

"Yao'er, how is it? Can you sense Fierce God Xiangliu's inheritance ground?" Dugu Xin asked excitedly. Dugu Yao had long since told them the conditions for receiving Fierce God Xiangliu's inheritance.

As Dugu Xin spoke, Dugu Bo and Lin Wanqiu also wore grave expressions as they looked at Dugu Yao, waiting for his answer.

"I can already sense the existence of that Otherspace. As long as I want to, I can enter it right now and receive Fierce God Xiangliu's Third Inheritance!!!"

Dugu Yao smiled at everyone. The moment his Soul Power Level reached 30, he had felt an inexplicable summons.

"Yao'er, once you receive Fierce God Xiangliu's Third Inheritance, I'll take you and Yanyan to Sunset Forest. I'll help you hunt your third Soul Ring and help Yanyan hunt her second Soul Ring."

Dugu Bo was all smiles. In this short time, it was not only Dugu Yao who had advanced rapidly—Dugu Yan had improved enormously as well, and her Soul Power Level had already reached 20.

Once she absorbed a Soul Ring, she could become a Soul Grandmaster!

Of course, the most terrifying one was still Dugu Yao. A six-year-old Soul Elder—it was simply unbelievable. From the time Dugu Yao awakened his Martial Soul until his Soul Power Level reached 30—

Less than three months had passed in total. Such talent was simply monstrous!

Of course, his ability to reach this point was due to many factors: his Martial Soul, Innate Spirit Power Level 20, and three Immortal Herbs.

There was also the Soul Ring that was nearly Ten-Thousand-Year, as well as the Nine Nether Poison Scripture. Using it to refine Soul Power was unimaginably fast!

And the nearly Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring he had absorbed back then had, during this period, been raised to the Ten-Thousand-Year level by Xiangliu through the Devouring Evolution skill!

The Fire Poison Blazing Flame Array's effect had expanded from igniting orange flames within a hundred-meter radius, dealing fire-attribute damage to enemies while inflicting deadly poison—

To igniting blue-white flames within a two-hundred-meter radius, dealing damage while inflicting deadly poison. Those blue-white flames were precisely the ability possessed by the Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Eye Netherflame Python!

However, after the Soul Ring's age reached ten thousand years, Xiangliu could no longer gain any effect from devouring ordinary poisonous herbs. It could only devour things of higher quality.

Dugu Yao smiled and nodded. "Grandfather, Father, Mother, I'll be back shortly."

With that, he closed his eyes, his consciousness already traveling to another space. Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin, Lin Wanqiu, and Dugu Yan waited anxiously.

Drip~

Drip~

Drip~

The familiar sound of water dripping echoed out. This was Dugu Yao's second time in this Otherspace, and he was no longer as flustered as before. Instead, he calmly surveyed his surroundings.

An endless expanse, a pitch-black surface of water, and the towering, majestic palace ahead. On either side of the palace steps stood two upright stone pillars.

"Hiss hiss hiss~ Hiss hiss hiss~" Xiangliu suddenly appeared on Dugu Yao's shoulder, licking his cheek. But when it looked toward the palace ahead, disgust appeared in its intelligent eyes.

"Well, well. You little fellow came in too. Thinking about it, that makes sense. If I hadn't awakened my Martial Soul, you would have been here to begin with."

Dugu Yao teased it. During this period, he had sorted through his thoughts. This Otherspace had existed ever since he came to this world.

And his Martial Soul, Xiangliu, existed because of him. Broadly speaking, Little Xiangliu was part of his body!

It was only because of certain restrictions at the time that the already-formed Little Xiangliu had no choice but to remain in this gloomy place. That was also why Little Xiangliu hated this place so much.

Anyone trapped somewhere with limited space, gloomy and damp surroundings, and nothing at all except a few stone statues would probably hate the place and never want to return.

Dugu Yao walked forward and soon arrived before the two stone pillars. Looking at the characters carved into them, he shook his head helplessly and stepped onto the stairs.

At last, he arrived before the palace gates and placed his hand upon them. With a thunderous roar, the gates suddenly opened, producing a deafening boom.

Flames ignited along both sides of the pitch-black passageway, bringing light and guiding him forward.

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~" Xiangliu, lying on Dugu Yao's shoulder, bared its fangs at the passage.

Sensing Little Liu and Little Red's disgust, Dugu Yao gently stroked their snake heads with two fingers and comforted them. "All right, all right, Little Liu, Little Red. I know you hate this place. You won't have to stay here for long in the future."

After saying that, Dugu Yao entered the passage. Thinking of how the excited little fellows had knocked him unconscious the first time he came here, he found it rather amusing.

Before long, Dugu Yao arrived before the stone door at the end of the passage. The stone door had been destroyed, and the ones responsible for that masterpiece were naturally the Little Xiangliu on his shoulder.

Inside was an extremely spacious area. What met his eyes were five lifelike statues, as well as the altar used for sacrifices.
