Martial Soul Evolution
Behind Dugu Bo, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul manifested uncontrollably. The giant emerald green serpent phantom was undergoing astonishing changes.
The snake's bright green scales began to fall off, revealing new, thicker, dark green scales underneath.
On the snake's head, two bulges slowly rose, eventually breaking through the flesh and transforming into two ferocious dragon horns! The snake's body also lengthened, and the phantom images of four sharp claws sprouted from its abdomen.
Most astonishingly, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's originally sinister poisonous gas had transformed into a more advanced and purer form of venomous energy. This energy had lost some of its sinister malice and gained more of its domineering power.
"This is... a dragon transformation?!" Dugu Bo was shocked as he sensed the changes in his Martial Soul.
No, it's not just about transforming into a dragon. He could sense that his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was evolving in an unprecedented direction—a brand-new Martial Soul that combined the majesty of a dragon, the agility of a serpent, and the domineering power of poison!
Finally, when the evolution was complete, what appeared behind Dugu Bo was the phantom of a giant beast over twenty meters long, with two horns on its head, four claws on its belly, and its entire body covered in dark green dragon scales.
It resembled both a dragon and a snake, its body surrounded by a dark green, poisonous aura that was condensed and did not dissipate, containing terrifying corrosive and destructive power.
"Azure Phosphorus - Poison Dragon Emperor!" Dugu Bo blurted out, naming this brand-new Martial Soul.
He could sense that the Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul was at least a level higher than the original Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor! It not only retained all the original poison abilities, but also added the powerful physique and imposing aura of a dragon-type Martial Soul.
Driven by the Martial Soul Evolution, his Soul Power broke through to level ninety-three in one fell swoop, and it was incredibly stable!
When the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon Emperor, the immense Soul Power and the power of creation nourished him, and his apparent age began to visibly "regress" once again!
The signs of aging on her skin have faded further, leaving it firm and elastic; a few strands of deep blue, symbolizing vigorous vitality, have even appeared in her long, silver-gray hair: her overall energy and spirit have reached their peak.
Standing before Yan Zu at this moment was no longer the gloomy, sickly old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, but a heroic young man who looked to be in his early forties and in the prime of his life.
He was tall and straight, with a resolute face, long silver-gray hair cascading over his shoulders, and dark gold eyes that shone brightly. Every gesture he made exuded both the calm charm of a mature man and the powerful majesty of Titled Douluo.
If it weren't for that familiar dark green robe and his still unique demeanor, Yan Zu would hardly have recognized him as the former Poison Douluo.
On the other hand, Dugu Yan's transformation was equally astonishing.
When the medicinal power of the Universe Creation Pill fully erupted within Dugu Yan's body, the evolution of her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was more thorough and astonishing than expected.
Originally, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, although of good quality, was limited by the toxins in her bloodline and was never able to show its true potential.
At this moment, under the impact of the power of creation fused with several kinds of Immortal Herb herbs by the Universe Creation Pill, that shackle was completely broken.
The first thing to change was the form of the Martial Soul phantom.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent's originally slender but slightly thin body was now expanding and elongating.
It wasn't simply a matter of increasing size; rather, the entire skeletal structure was being reconstructed—the snake's body became thicker and more powerful, each vertebra shimmering with a jade-like luster. On its abdomen, two pairs of protrusions were rapidly rising and extending, eventually piercing through the illusory skin and transforming into four sharp dragon claws!
The dragon claws were not the five claws of the Eastern dragon, but rather the three-toed claws of Western dragons, covered with fine, bluish-green scales, their tips gleaming with a cold light, containing the power to tear everything apart.
The changes to the snake's head are even more pronounced. The originally slightly flattened skull begins to extend backward, with the frontal bone protruding, forming a more three-dimensional skull structure.
Most astonishingly, two bulges on either side of its head rapidly broke through and transformed into a pair of newly sprouted dragon horns!
The dragon horns were not as ferocious and thick as those of the Dugu Bobi Phosphorus Poison Dragon Emperor, but rather more slender and elegant, like jade carvings, with a translucent bluish-green color and a faint shimmering light flowing inside.
The snake's snout extended forward, its mouth structure changed, its teeth became sharper and denser, and a faint flash of fire appeared at the forked end of its tongue—a harbinger of dragonfire.
Its scales are also undergoing a transformation. The original emerald green scales peel away one by one, and the new scales are finer and more regular, displaying a gradient color—from the deep turquoise of its back to the light jade white of its belly. Each scale is like a carefully polished piece of jade, reflecting a mesmerizing brilliance under the light.
Golden patterns are faintly visible along the edges of the scales, a symbol of the dragon bloodline being activated.
A bluish-green mist rose from the illusory image of the Martial Soul. The mist no longer caused discomfort; instead, it carried a strange, refreshing lotus fragrance.
However, if Soul Master were to perceive it carefully, they would discover that beneath this fragrance lies a terrifying poison capable of numbing the nerves and corroding Soul Power. However, this poison is now completely under control, manipulated at will.
When the evolution was complete, what hovered behind Dugu Yan was no longer the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but a dragon-like creature more than ten meters long, with jade horns on its head, four claws on its belly, and its body covered with green and blue jade scales!
It possesses both the elegance and slenderness of a snake and the majesty and power of a dragon.
Its azure body swam slowly in mid-air, its four dragon claws pressing down, its jade horns shining, and its dragon eyes were a pure emerald color with long, narrow vertical pupils that seemed to penetrate the soul.
"Azure Phosphorus - Jade Dragon!" Dugu Yan had a sudden inspiration and named this brand-new Martial Soul.
She could clearly sense that the quality of this Jade Phosphorous Jade Dragon Martial Soul had completely surpassed that of the original Jade Phosphorous Serpent, becoming a top-tier Martial Soul!
It not only retains all of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's talent for using poison, but also adds the powerful physique of a dragon-type Martial Soul and an affinity for elemental energy.
To her even greater surprise, the toxicity of her new Martial Soul had undergone a fundamental evolution.
The original area-of-effect poison mist attack has been transformed into a variety of precisely controllable poisonous forms. It can transform into a nerve-numbing fragrant mist, condense into highly corrosive venom, and even integrate poison into dragon breath to form a terrifying poisonous fire breath.
Moreover, since the toxicity is completely contained and controllable, she no longer needs to worry about the problem of toxic backlash.
This means that from now on, she can cultivate and fight without any worries, and fully unleash the potential of the Jade Phosphorous Jade Dragon.
The energy feedback from the Martial Soul Evolution allows her Soul Power to continue accumulating. How many levels she can advance will only be known after she obtains her Soul Ring. Her entire life level will be elevated.
At this moment, Dugu Yan appears to be in the prime of her life, radiant, bright, and full of vitality.
At the same time, a [ding] sounded in Yan Zu's mind.
