"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan shouted.
A Golden Crocodile, its shadow majestic, resembled a tall iron tower or an ancient siege ballista. Dugu Bo was struck as if by a meteor, hit hard by the sudden turn of events, and was sent flying!
Countless people felt their hair stand on end, as if they were startled fish.
"Who is this person? Even Poison Douluo couldn't stop him!?" A look of fear flashed across Yu Tianheng's face. In his memory, Dugu Bo was already considered to be at the pinnacle of combat power.
But at this moment, Youren!
" Xiao Yan, are you alright!?"
Yu Tianming and Cang Lin arrived at Xiao Yan immediately. The latter waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. Dugu Bo's Destruction attack, which was about to be launched, was blocked by this mysterious powerhouse.
"Who is this person? Why did he save us, and even risk fighting Dugu Bo!" Yu Tianming looked at Xiao Yan. In his memory, Xiao Yan had no background; he was just a child from a village on the outskirts of Nuoding City.
But now, Youren is standing up for him!
Xiao Yan shook his head.
He did not recognize this mysterious and powerful figure.
"Oh my god!"
Suddenly, Youren collapsed, trembling.
Looking around,
A giant serpent rose from the ground, its body a vibrant emerald green, its massive form gleaming with dazzling golden scales and long, sharp fangs, lunging towards the mysterious powerhouse!
The snake's body is hundreds of meters tall, resembling the mythical Nine Yin, with a pair of sharp, venomous fangs that are incredibly terrifying.
For a moment, a fishy smell filled the air.
A few of the weaker individuals immediately lost consciousness.
"No matter who you are, you have offended me, and you must give me an explanation today!" The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor spoke in a human voice, the voice of Dugu Bo, as cold as ice from the deepest abyss, possessing a terrifying quality that chilled the heart.
" Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!"
"It's over, Dugu Bo is serious!" Cang Lin's voice was tinged with fear.
As the deputy hall master of the Spirit Hall, he deeply understood that in this state, almost Youren in the entire imperial city could stop Dugu Bo. Even if someone could, the two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely not make a move!
"This is"
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
The scenario that everyone imagined —the Central Emperor serpent roaring and swallowing the mysterious expert whole—did not occur.
Instead, a loud bang erupted!
boom!
That mysterious expert actually knocked down the Imperial Serpent with a single blow!
"Arrogant!" Dugu Bo roared in fury.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor suddenly erupted, or rather, Dugu Bo was truly enraged. In his Martial Soul Avatar state, it was easily blocked!
Buzz!
Nine Soul Ring appeared in succession!
"Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black"
Countless people began to flee. Titled Douluo are incredibly powerful; when they use their Soul Ring skills in their Martial Soul Avatar state, their destructive power is overwhelming. Moreover, this one is Poison Douluo!
"That damned Dugu Bo!"
Damn it!
The people in the Crown Prince's residence began to flee.
"Where is the Crown Prince? Why hasn't he come out to stop Dugu Bo? Does this guy intend to go on a killing spree in the capital and defy the world?!"
"No matter who you are, I will not let Xiao Yan go today!" Dugu Bo hesitated slightly, but still gritted his teeth and activated the sixth and seventh ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill!
Both of these Soul Skill are powerful weapons for killing enemies.
The only side effect is that the consequences are too great, the toxicity is too strong, and it can easily affect innocent people.
What's more, this is inside the Crown Prince's residence!
"As long as I can defeat this guy and obtain the divine artifact within Xiao Yan's body, I will have the opportunity to become a god!"
"If that's the case, what good is it if we become enemies with the whole world!?"
Dugu Bo became furious, Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor began to roar.
Two massive fangs glowed with green light, and a wisp of ghastly green burst forth from its throat, merging together as two Soul Skill not only possessed the deadly venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor but also the ferocity of the fangs!
Dugu Bo was confident that this mysterious expert wouldn't dare to confront him head-on!
" Dugu Bo, do you really dare to unleash these two Soul Skill!?"
An aged and heavy voice came from the golden light, and the figure of the person could be vaguely seen in the dim light. He was a burly old man who was more than two meters tall.
"Um!?"
Dugu Bo frowned.
Something that terrified Dugu Bo happened.
One after another, the Soul Ring were slowly released.
Yellow, purple, black, black, black, red!
red!?
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? This Soul Ring is red!?"
"The number one spot on the Soul Master Dream Ranking—can Youren actually possess it? It's unbelievable!"
I thought Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was just a legend.
Even as people fled and dodged, they were still stunned by that dazzling fiery red color and couldn't move an inch.
In fact, from the moment that red Soul Ring appeared...
There is no danger ahead.
Dugu Bo immediately stopped charging up his Soul Skill, suppressing his internal injuries and forcibly interrupting the release of his ultimate move, his eyes fixed on the old man who was gradually revealing his figure.
" Elder Golden Crocodile!" Dugu Bo called out the name in a trembling voice.
This is a name that is legendary even within the Spirit Hall.
The six elders Worship Hall Elders!
Every single one of them is a terrifyingly powerful expert at level 95 or above. Any one of them could be a hero who could shake up a region in the Douluo Continent. Their reputation was earned step by step through countless battles!
More than a century ago, when the Great Enshrined was still the Pope, these six men practically ruled an era. With the six brothers working together, they truly propelled the Spirit Hall to its peak, making it a force that almost surpassed the empire.
They advocate nurturing talent from childhood, allowing non-sect talents in the Douluo Continent to rise up, overtake others, and truly stand on the same starting line as disciples of sects!
This is how a rogue cultivator like Cang Lin grew up!
It's important to know that a hundred years ago, in an era when Soul Master were even rarer...
Almost all Soul Master came from sects. It was an era when ordinary Soul Master could not rise to prominence. The appearance of Qian Daoliu and others was like lighting a beacon for the poor!
"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to secure a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!"
In that era of numerous sects, clear class distinctions, and constant warfare, Golden Crocodile Douluo rose to prominence, becoming another shining star after Qian Daoliu!
The ninth Soul Ring is red!
This is the most direct manifestation of power!
If it weren't for the appearance of a guy wielding a hammer who declared his intention to uphold the supremacy of the sect...
Otherwise, this group would have led the entire Douluo to this day, completely breaking the curse that ordinary Soul Master could not rise to prominence.
"Have you forgotten the oath you swore when you registered your title with the Spirit Hall?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke softly, without any emotion.
However, the nine terrifying Soul Ring became a towering mountain weighing on Dugu Bo's heart.
(Chapter 1. This chapter mainly discusses the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the former sects, making Xiao Yan's later actions more reasonable.)
