Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 132: The Road of Poison and the Fight with Dugu Bo
This external soul bone brought Chen Ming a special soul skill called the Scorpion King's Tortoise.

The effect was similar to Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor's Turtle, which became extremely hard and its strength was greatly enhanced. However, because the source was only a metacarpal bone, the effect was also discounted. It could only transform Chen Ming's left hand and left arm.

However, because it obtained Chen Ming's origin, the Scorpion King's claw had a strong poisonous attribute. With the combination of the extreme ice and poisonous attributes, an even stronger cold poison was born.

Its effect can freeze the enemy's soul power, mental power and vitality, and this freezing is almost irreversible. Unless Chen Ming himself takes action to remove it, he can only seek help from the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who are extremely powerful beings with ice attributes, or the high priest of the gods.

Under normal circumstances, even a Titled Douluo cannot remove the cold poison without special abilities. Once frozen, it is basically considered that a part of the upper limit has been permanently lost.

Soul power is the foundation of a soul master. Even the strongest soul master would lose his foundation if he lost his soul power. Chen Ming's ability would undoubtedly scare all soul masters who knew the effect.

After experiencing this skill, Chen Ming was also a little surprised. He couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being his soul bone, and its deterrent power was even greater than that of the Ice Emperor's Claw.

At the same time, Chen Ming was also thinking about how to combine fire and toxins to create a fierce fire poison.

Logically speaking, his poison attribute has already surpassed Dugu Bo. If there really is an ultimate poison, then his level should be at that level. Even if there is a gap, it should be infinitely close to the ultimate and he should be able to feel what the ultimate poison is.

But the fact is, even at this point, Chen Ming still couldn't feel what the ultimate poison was.

Extreme ice represents extreme coldness, extreme fire represents extreme temperature, so what should extreme poison look like?
Corrosive? Diffusion? Complexity and weirdness?
Or is it that there is no such thing as the ultimate poison in this world? The so-called poison attribute has never had any limit, nor any ultimate?
At the same time, after completing the absorption, Chen Ming also solved the doubts he had when he first saw the Ice Scorpion in the Far North.

The Ice Scorpion and the Emerald Scorpion...or the Green Phosphorus Scorpion, actually come from the same source, but their subsequent development directions are very different.

Probably a long, long time ago, the green phosphorus scorpions split up, and some of them migrated to cold places. After several generations, the first batch of green phosphorus scorpions with ice attributes were born.

This group of ice-attributed green phosphorus scorpions continued to migrate towards cold places, adapting to the cold generation after generation, and eventually the soul beast called the Ice Green Scorpion appeared.

An unknown amount of time ago, the Ice Scorpion clan touched the realm of ultimate ice, but their own poison became an obstacle for this clan to completely control the ultimate ice.

In the end, in pursuit of the ultimate ice, the Ice Scorpion clan gave up their own poison, obtained the ultimate ice attribute, and became a true super soul beast, the dominant clan in the Far North.

Nowadays, the quality gap between these two soul beasts is huge. Although they have the same ancestor, their strengths are worlds apart. Only the traces deep in their origins can prove that there is still some connection between the two.

After Chen Ming absorbed the soul bone, he stayed next to Dugu Bo for a long time. When Chen Ming was worried that Dugu Bo had suffered too much of a shock and had mental problems, Dugu Bo slowly got up from the ground and sighed at Chen Ming.

"Xiao Ming, you must be nicer to Yanyan in the future."

"Grandpa, I will." Although he didn't understand what Dugu Bo was thinking about all this time, Chen Ming still nodded and agreed.

Dugu Bo dusted himself off and pointed into the distance.

"Xiao Ming, how about we go outside and practice for a while? I want to see how much you have changed since before."

"Okay!" Chen Ming nodded, his eyes shining.

Although he is now only a quasi-Soul King who has not yet obtained the fifth soul ring, but with his current configuration, Chen Ming feels that his strength is probably not weaker than that of a Titled Douluo.

Even if Dugu Bo didn't say anything, Chen Ming also wanted to find an opportunity to test his own strength.

Dugu Bo nodded, tapped the ground with his toes, and moved towards the Yin-Yang Eye like a ghost. Chen Ming took a breath, felt the active soul core in the middle and lower dantian, and also tapped the ground with his toes, quickly following.

At the beginning, Dugu Bo was still controlling his speed, a little worried that he might lose Chen Ming. After seeing that Chen Ming was about to catch up with him, Dugu Bo immediately increased his speed. After several consecutive accelerations, Dugu Bo reached the limit of his normal speed. Although Chen Ming was slightly slower, he still followed Dugu Bo closely with his endless soul power as a backup.

Finally, Dugu Bo stopped in the poisonous swamp and waved to Chen Ming, indicating that there was no need to run any further.

"Xiao Ming, you are very good. Let me try and see what level you can reach." Without waiting for Chen Ming to speak, Dugu Bo took the lead in displaying his soul skills.

The fifth soul ring lit up in one step, providing Dugu Bo with an attribute increase. Then the first, second, third, and fourth soul rings on his body flashed at the same time, and four different types of poisons were released by Dugu Bo at the same time, and then under Dugu Bo's control, they gathered into a more powerful and strange pink poison.

The pink poison created by the combination of four toxins entangled Chen Ming like a long snake, and its toxicity was enough to kill almost all Soul Douluo on the continent in seconds. Even most of the Title Douluo would choose to avoid it.

But Chen Ming just smiled slightly.

Everyone looks down on the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King, but if given the chance, everyone wants to be the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King for once.

Chen Ming's left arm gathered the soul power of extreme ice, and his right arm gathered the soul power of extreme fire. Chen Ming put his hands together in front of him, and the power of ice and fire merged, forming an indescribable huge shock wave beside Chen Ming.

Chen Ming used his own poison and the fourth soul ring as an aid to reconcile the two completely opposite properties of extreme ice and extreme fire. With a slight agitation of the soul power between ice and fire, he easily evaporated the threatening poisonous python completely.

"Mysterious Ice Jade Fire Palm!"

Chen Ming shouted, opened his palms, and pushed forward. Two huge illusory palms slapped Dugu Bo heavily. The power of the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire was fully displayed at this moment.

Although Dugu Bo dodged the two powerful palm prints at his fastest speed, when the two palms exploded in mid-air, the huge destructive force still almost sent Dugu Bo flying backwards.

After taking a few steps back, Dugu Bo felt the blood in his body churning, and a hint of horror appeared in his eyes.

If he hadn't dodged just now, he would have been seriously injured by the powerful force.

After discovering that Chen Ming's strength had reached a level that he himself could not underestimate, Dugu Bo completely put away his contempt in his heart, and paid close attention to Chen Ming's every move, just like he did with Ju Douluo.

Next, Chen Ming’s performance did not disappoint Dugu Bo at all, and even shocked Dugu Bo greatly.

It is not in vain that Chen Ming has been exposed to the laws for so many years. During this process, Chen Ming's understanding of soul rings and soul skills has become extremely profound.

Now that his soul power and mental strength have reached the standard, ordinary self-created soul skills are basically free in his hands. It is almost impossible to see repeated moves.

Even if the power is slightly lower, the consumption is slightly higher, or even there is some damage to one's meridians, these problems are not a problem for Chen Ming.

The two soul cores moved slightly, and all problems were no longer problems.

If the power is low, use more soul power to make up for it. If the consumption is large, it will not exceed the recovery speed of the soul core. If there are side effects, use vitality to cure them.

Even with the support of two soul cores, Chen Ming does not have unlimited firepower in the true sense, but now Chen Ming's maximum soul power output speed is not as fast as the speed at which the soul core recovers soul power.

For him now, he is equivalent to unlimited firepower, and only the cooling time of his soul skill itself can cause him to lag a little.

While Chen Ming was performing his own self-created soul skills, he was secretly adjusting his deficiencies. His strength was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
