Douluo Continent: The 18-year-old Sword God was exposed by the heavens.

The dragon's might and the poison's might intertwined, and the aura of a level 94 titled Douluo swept out like a tsunami.

All the poisonous creatures in the Sunset Forest lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.

Even the exotic flowers and rare herbs in the Poison Valley seemed to be paying homage.

Dugu Bo slowly closed his eyes, feeling the changes within his body, and his face revealed an unprecedented sense of comfort and ecstasy.

The bloodline curse was lifted, the martial soul evolved, the soul rings increased dramatically, and the soul power soared.

At this moment, he truly became one of the strongest figures on the continent.

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded, her small face filled with shock and ecstasy, and tears streamed down her face.

"Grandpa! That's wonderful! Your poison is completely cured! And your martial spirit has even evolved!"

Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes, golden light flashing in them, and the aura of the Azure Dragon Martial Soul spread wildly around him.

He looked up at the sky, bowed deeply, and spoke with a tone full of awe and gratitude.

"Thank you for this blessing from Heaven! Dugu Bo will remember it forever!"

……

Above the sky, golden light flowed, and the voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded once more.

[Tenth Place: Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, well-deserved. End of ranking.]

[Ninth place, to be revealed soon.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire continent was once again swept up in fervor and anticipation.

All the titled Douluo felt their anticipation grow stronger.

Even Dugu Bo made the list and received such a generous blessing from Heaven.

Those titled Douluo with higher cultivation and stronger combat power will definitely be on the list, and their ranking will be higher, and their blessings will be more abundant.

The Golden Crocodile Douluo of Wuhun City was full of pride and confidence.

"As a level 98 peak Super Douluo, I'm certain I can rank in the top five, or even the top three!"

Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Chen Xin, and the others were also eager to get started, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Waiting for the heavens to reveal the next powerful figure.

In the endless void, Lin Xiao gazed at the changes in Dugu Bo on the sky, a faint smile playing on his lips, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"I see, so strategic deterrence is also used as a ranking criterion. That's quite interesting."

His curiosity grew stronger as he continued to look down, waiting for the ninth-place finisher to be revealed.

They were increasingly looking forward to seeing where they would rank on this Heavenly Dao Ranking and what kind of Heavenly Dao blessings they would receive.

In the central hub of the divine realm, the five great god-kings gazed at the changes in the sky, their faces filled with apprehension.

No longer daring to underestimate them, they could only watch silently, speculating in their hearts.

How many more surprises and shocks will this Heavenly Ranking bring?

……

at the same time.

The moment after Dugu Bo finished thanking Tianmu.

A sense originating from the very essence of his martial spirit surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

This is the inherited memory that the Azure Scaled Dragon possesses after its evolution.

The secrets of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's bloodline, the control of toxins, and even more importantly, how to completely eliminate the backlash poison within the bloodline.

Dugu Bo closed his eyes, carefully sensing this inherited memory.

The ecstasy on his face gradually faded, replaced by an extreme solemnity and urgency, even the soul power around him became somewhat restless.

He finally understood that the blessing from Heaven not only cured him of the poison that caused the backlash from his bloodline,

He evolved his martial soul, increased his soul power, and gained the ability to completely eradicate the curse of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's bloodline.

This ability is not a simple suppression, but rather it addresses the root of one's bloodline.

The backlash poison hidden deep within the martial soul will be completely stripped away and purified, eliminating any future troubles.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, was still looking up at the comments that had just flashed across the sky, her face gradually stiffening.

"The poison of bloodline backlash..."

"The lineage of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King...a curse passed down through generations..."

She muttered to herself, her gaze gradually turning to terror.

From childhood to adulthood, she often experienced stabbing pain in her meridians and surging blood and qi. Whenever her cultivation level increased, she would feel uncomfortable all over. Her grandfather would always give vague explanations, only saying that it was a qi deviation during cultivation.

But now, seeing the detailed exposure of Tianmu's explanation of Dugu Bo's bloodline curse, a terrifying guess suddenly exploded in her heart.

She also possesses the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

She is her grandfather's granddaughter.

Does that mean... she also has the exact same curse?

Dugu Yan suddenly turned her head to look at Dugu Bo, who was still meditating with his eyes closed, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"grandfather……"

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, about to speak, but immediately saw his granddaughter's deathly pale face and her eyes filled with fear.

"You... the backlash poison in your bloodline..." Dugu Yan clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, every word trembling.

"Do...do I have it too?"

Dugu Bo froze, falling silent instantly.

The thing he was most worried about and most wanted to hide was still seen through by her.

Seeing his reaction, Dugu Yan's heart sank, and tears welled up instantly.

"I guessed right, didn't I?"

I've also been poisoned by this, I've had it since birth...

My parents...they weren't killed by spirit beasts, right?

She blurted out all her guesses in one breath, her eyes fixed on Dugu Bo, waiting for the answer that would bring her despair.

Dugu Bo looked at her, on the verge of tears but stubbornly refusing to cry, and felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Can't hide it.

The sky has already exposed everything to the world; no matter how much he tries to cover it up, it's meaningless.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse, filled with undisguised exhaustion and guilt.

"……yes.

You have one too.

"I've had it since the moment I was born."

These words struck Dugu Yan's heart like a boulder.

She shuddered violently and staggered back a step.

The color drained completely from his face, leaving only a deathly pale ashes.

Tears finally streamed down her face, unable to be held back any longer, from those eyes filled with fear.

It hit the ground, kicking up tiny specks of dust.

"I knew it... I knew it..."

She choked up, her voice broken and fragmented.

"No wonder I always have stabbing pain in my meridians, no wonder my cultivation speed is so much slower than others."

"No wonder Grandpa always told me not to cultivate too hard, no wonder you insisted on nurturing me every month..."

"No wonder...no wonder you never told me the real cause of my parents' deaths..."

Scenes from the past flooded my mind like a tidal wave.

When she was a child, she would experience severe pain all over her body if she practiced too vigorously, and her grandfather would always rush to use his soul power to soothe her.

Whenever I ask about my parents, my grandfather either gives vague answers or gets angry and changes the subject.

Even the way her grandfather looked at her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul when she awakened it.

They all concealed a trace of sadness and worry that she didn't understand at the time.

It turns out that behind all of this lies this cruel truth.

It turns out that she was cursed to die from birth.

It turns out that her parents had already been consumed by this curse.

"Mom and Dad...they were also infected by this drug, weren't they?"

Dugu Yan raised her tear-streaked face and looked helplessly at Dugu Bo.

Her voice carried a last glimmer of hope, wishing to hear a negative answer from her grandfather.
