Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison, Sacred Dragon True Form (Part 2)

"Trading poison for power? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Sensing Du Gu Lin's surging aura, Ling Bai's expression turned grim.

In other words, not a single drop of blood could now be detected in Du Gu Lin's venom!

"Hahaha, I wasn't going to live long anyway. What life is there to speak of?"

Du Gu Lin threw back her head and laughed, but there was a trace of sorrow and desolation in her laughter. "The Jade Phosphorous Serpent is one of the strongest poison-type martial souls in the world, but those who inherit its poison also inherit its backlash. They become neither human nor ghost, and even poison their descendants!

"I was eroded by Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison from the moment I was in my mother's womb. After my martial soul awakened, they determined that I wouldn't live past twenty-five! But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. What is lost is gained elsewhere. I possess Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison several times stronger than that of ordinary Jade Phosphorous Serpent soul masters!"

Du Gu Lin's snake tail slithered, and the seductive allure of the snake woman made one's entire body burn uncontrollably. Waves of Emerald Green Soul Power surged forth like a flood, and four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—appeared. Her First Soul Ring immediately lit up!

A massive serpent covered entirely in jade-green scales, its head triangular in shape, suddenly burst from the ground. Its ferocious maw, lined with fangs, opened to an exaggerated angle of nearly one hundred and eighty degrees. Bloodthirsty brutality flashed in its snake eyes as it viciously lunged at Ling Bai!

First Soul Skill, Jade Serpent Strangulation!

The Third Soul Ring of the five-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King flashed. The Angel Holy Sword erupted with a dazzling golden radiance, and Ling Bai's will, Soul Power, and spiritual power instantly broke through their shackles, entering another realm. A three-foot blade of light extended from the sword's tip, making the Angel Holy Sword appear even more slender and sharp. He raised the blade, and sword qi whistled forth!

Boom—

The massive serpent was cleanly cleaved in two by the Angel Holy Sword enhanced by the Sacred Heart and crashed to the ground. It turned into a pool of venom that madly corroded everything around it. Tangible strands of foul stench drifted through the air, and everyone who smelled it furrowed their brows, enduring the physical discomfort brought by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

A figure soared into the sky on golden light. His brilliant golden hair fell to his waist, and the sunlight outlined his exceptionally handsome features. The Angel Holy Sword, as long as his body, displayed an innate nobility and elegance, while a faint cold arrogance shone in his golden eyes.

"If this is all you have, I'm afraid your vow will go unfulfilled."

"That was just an appetizer. Today, you'll definitely walk out of the Soul Arena with your pants down!"

Du Gu Lin's voice was languid and alluring. As her words fell, all four of her soul rings actually separated at once, lining up neatly along either side of her body and releasing four dazzling, intertwining rays of light!

Roar!!!

A deep roar suddenly resounded through the Inner Court Soul Arena. From each of Du Gu Lin's soul rings, an illusory jade-green figure slowly emerged.

"Jade Phosphorous Five Poisons..."

Ling Bai's face visibly changed from relaxed to tense. Veins faintly pulsed in the hand gripping the Angel Holy Sword. If Ning Tian had been watching now, she would have been astonished, because this was one of Ling Bai's rare moments of extreme vigilance!

Jade Phosphorous Scorpion, Jade Phosphorous Centipede, Jade Phosphorous Toad, Jade Phosphorous Gecko!

All four of Du Gu Lin's first soul rings came from the most poisonous soul beasts in the world!

And with Du Gu Lin's own Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul!

The Jade Phosphorous Five Poisons were complete!

"Madwoman..."

Ling Bai's facial muscles twitched. Du Gu Lin, who had suffered endlessly from Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, had actually dared to absorb the other four Jade Phosphorous poisons. This was more than simply courting death—she was practically dancing at the gates of the underworld, flipping off the King of Hell as she shouted, Come hit me, then!

"Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison!"

Du Gu Lin's movements continued!

The four Jade Phosphorous poisons erupted in dazzling radiance. Beams of light shot out crosswise from the phantom figures, tracing mysterious paths and forming an intricate, complex light formation in the sky!

At the same time, the final phantom among the Five Poisons—the Jade Phosphorous Serpent—rushed from Du Gu Lin's body. Its triangular tongue flickered in and out, while its poisonous fangs gleamed with chilling light within its enormous maw. Amid everyone's astonished gazes, it swallowed the phantoms of the other four poisons one bite at a time, then turned and returned to Du Gu Lin's body!

Each of the Jade Phosphorous Five Poisons was a peerless poison in its own right. When five unparalleled poisons merged as one, only one word could describe the resulting toxin: absolute!

Five Poisons United, Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison!

"Fourth Soul Skill, Sky Nether Poisonous Pool!"

Du Gu Lin's final purple soul ring erupted. A layer of clouds rapidly formed overhead, and Emerald Green rain poured down in sheets. These Emerald Green raindrops appeared utterly powerless, yet whenever a droplet sliced through the air, it left behind a faint black streak in its path!

Poison rain!

Every drop contained terrifying Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison. Countless Emerald Green droplets descended from the sky, and within the curtain of rain, golden light suddenly tore through the air!

Angel Domain!

The golden Angel Domain forcibly claimed the entire sky with overwhelming dominance. Countless raindrops around it seemed drawn toward it, but after becoming stained by those toxic droplets, the golden light gradually dimmed amid a series of hissing sounds. Its expansion also slowed considerably, as though it had fallen into a mire.

The raindrops eventually struck the ground, and the poison rain gathered into an endless jade-green pool, flooding the Soul Arena floor in an instant. Bubbles of all sizes continuously rose within the pool. As they burst, a dense jade-green vapor slowly spread, drifting wantonly like smoke.

"Raise the soul tool barrier!"

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, the referee hurriedly shouted. The soul masters hidden around the Soul Arena poured in their Soul Power, and a hemispherical soul tool barrier swiftly rose, cutting off the further spread of the Heavenly Poison Nether Pool and protecting the innocent.

The venom surged like waves against the soul tool barrier, producing dull, repeated pfft, pfft sounds.

Many of the students present could no longer sit still. They rose one after another, seemingly intending to leave the Soul Arena.

Poison was one of the things most likely to inspire fear, and the Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison had undoubtedly exceeded some people's limits of endurance!

"Senior sisters, you see now..."

Chu Qingtian pointed at the Heavenly Poison Nether Pool formed by the Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison and smiled bitterly.

"Ever since Du Gu Lin broke through to the four-ring Soul Ancestor realm, no student in the entire Shrek Outer Academy has dared to fight her again."

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming's faces darkened. No wonder Chu Qingtian thought Ling Bai might lose. With the Jade Phosphorous Five Poisons united, it might have already surpassed the realm of ultimate poison!

If it were them at the same cultivation level, they definitely would not have been Du Gu Lin's match!

Behind a cloud in the sky, Spirit Soul Department Dean Yan Shaozhe was frantically conversing with Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi.

"Du Gu Lin has never used Five Poisons United in all these years at the Outer Academy! Elder Xuan, is this ultimate poison?"

"Mm..."

Xuan Zi had been about to nod when he suddenly noticed something from the corner of his eye. His cloudy old eyes immediately lit up.

"No, that's not right! It's still a little short!"

He pointed at the radiant golden Angel Domain.

"Look, the rain is growing weaker, which means the Angel Domain has begun suppressing the poison rain. If it were ultimate poison, it should at least be able to contend with the Angel Domain at a four-to-six disadvantage—at a disadvantage, but not suppressed. Jade Phosphorous Absolute Poison... can only be considered half a step into ultimate poison at most!"

Do not underestimate that mere half step. Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix could not even take that half step toward Ultimate Fire!

Xuan Zi reached his final conclusion. "In terms of attributes alone, throughout the Outer and Inner Courts, Du Gu Lin is second only to Ling Bai!"
