Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 81 Heavenly Silver Roc

"The Silver Roc of the Sky?!"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo reveal the name of the soul beast, Yun Ming exclaimed in surprise. Thinking about the information about this species, Yun Ming felt things were becoming rather troublesome.

The 'Sky Silver Roc' is a super soul beast with the bloodline of the divine beast Roc. It is enormous in size, with wings that blot out the sky, and its physical strength is extremely powerful. It can be said to be the top among avian soul beasts. In addition, it has remarkable spatial talent, and its speed, strength, and defense are all flawless. It is a perfect soul beast that can fight against true dragons of the same level, and is the undisputed overlord of the sky.

Yun Ming's first soul spirit in his previous life was a hundred-year-old Sky Silver Roc, which fought alongside him for a hundred years, constantly rising in spirit level, and eventually reaching the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul spirit. Therefore, he was very clear about the combat power of this kind of soul beast.

Now, Dugu Bo told him that the target to be hunted was a Sky Silver Roc with 30,000 years of cultivation. Its combat power was basically equivalent to a 100,000-year-old soul beast with a high bloodline and good at fighting. He really felt that it would be quite difficult to deal with.

Seeing Yun Ming's shocked expression, Dugu Bo calmly spoke.

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."

Even if it's one of the dominant spirit beasts in this Sunset Forest, it can't escape!

Seeing Dugu Bo's confidence, Yun Ming had some guesses about Dugu Bo's method. To this, Yun Ming could only express his hope that Dugu Bo would succeed.

After killing the Iron Arrow Serpent King, Yang Wutian removed the serpent's body from the swamp, found a suitable place, called out to Yun Ming and Dugu Bo, and began refining the soul ring.

Three hours later, Yang Wutian successfully absorbed his eighth spirit ring. Even though he hadn't been able to break through level 80, Yang Wutian's years of diligent meditation finally paid off. With the energy of the spirit ring, Yang Wutian broke through and reached level 83, directly surpassing Yang Wudi to become the new strongest member of the Breaking Clan.

When Dugu Bo saw Yang Wutian's Soul-Breaking Spear, he also understood Yun Ming's background, and could explain why Yun Ming, at such a young age, had such knowledge of pharmacology and poisons. Seeing Yang Wutian break through to the Soul Douluo level, Dugu Bo was even more confident in his plan.

After exchanging a few words, the three began to discuss the specific plan for hunting down the "Sky Silver Roc".

Dugu Bo's plan was exactly what Yun Ming expected: poisoning.

For the next few days, Yang Wutian and Dugu Bo observed the habits of the Sky Silver Roc and how to poison it. The method of poisoning was to capture the spirit beasts in the Sky Silver Roc's hunting area, poison the spirit beasts, and force the Sky Silver Roc to ingest the poison itself.

If we force it, even if we can defeat it, we won't be able to keep it or kill it, which doesn't meet Yunming's requirement for it to be the fourth soul ring. So we can only resort to underhanded tactics.

However, spirit beasts of this level possess considerable intelligence and resistance to poison. If they were to escape unscathed, Yun Ming and the others would have a difficult time catching up. Therefore, Dugu Bo chose to apply two layers of poison.

The first layer of poison used is "Netherworld Powder," a paralyzing poison that initially causes no effect but requires a catalyst to take effect. It is not fatal, only affecting the bird's movement. This is the first layer. Considering the size of the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc, this has been the poison used for the past few days.

The second layer consists of the first layer's medicinal guide and Dugu Bo's Azure Scale Serpent King's original poison.

Sunset Forest, beneath Cloud Pine Cliff

A giant roc, nearly sixty meters tall, with silvery-white feathers and unparalleled strength, stood on the ground, pinning down a ten-thousand-year-old elephant and eating its dinner. This giant roc was none other than Yun Ming's target, the Heavenly Silver Roc.

Yunming and his two companions hid in the shadows, watching as the small vials containing the deadly poison and medicinal ingredients they had stuffed into the flesh of the Pipi Elephant were all swallowed by the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc. The reason the poison was placed in the vials was because the Azure Scale Serpent King's original poison was too potent; the symptoms of poisoning in the Pipi Elephant would be very obvious, and the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc would not eat it.

Seeing that the time was right, the three of them made their move.

A purple soul ring appeared beneath Yun Ming's feet, directly controlling the Sky-Supporting Mark on the medicine bottle inside the Sky Silver Roc's belly. The two medicine bottles shattered one after the other, the medicine guide bottle breaking first, and the poison bottle breaking after the 'Netherworld Powder' took effect.

When it felt weak and numb all over its body, the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc was still a little confused, but when the Azure Scale Serpent King's primal poison began to spread in its body and a sharp pain came from its abdomen, it quickly realized that someone wanted to harm it.

Pain and anger caused it to let out a powerful and high-pitched cry, which traveled far and wide, and all spirits fell silent.

"De~!"

The Sky-Piercing Silver Roc spread its wings, its wingspan exceeding two hundred meters. It was poised to take flight, attempting to first eliminate the deadly poison within its body before searching for the insect that had harmed it earlier. But Yun Ming and the others had already taken action; how could they allow the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc to escape so easily?

Dugu Bo swallowed a sausage with a loud thud, letting out a long howl. Emerald-like soul power shone brightly, and Dugu Bo's first seven soul rings lit up. Then, Dugu Bo's thin body swelled up in the emerald-green soul power and transformed into a large serpent with wings on its back in the blink of an eye.

The serpent's body was covered in emerald green, diamond-shaped scales that looked like pieces of jade inlaid in its surface. Its body was a full thirty meters long and as thick as a water vat. The only somewhat incongruous feature was that this emerald green serpent had a pair of purple wings.

This is Dugu Bo's true martial soul form, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. As for the purple wings, they are Oscar's third soul skill, "Flying Mushroom Sausage".

The Azure Serpent King stared coldly at the Silver Roc in the sky with its pair of serpentine eyes, its tongue flicking in and out, and thick green mist swirling around its body.

Upon seeing that the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc was about to flee, the Azure-Scaled Serpent King immediately flapped its wings, creating gusts of wind, and rushed towards the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc at lightning speed.

Due to the effects of the potent poison within his body, the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc's takeoff speed was somewhat slower this time. It had barely taken off and hadn't even had a chance to travel far before being overtaken by the Azure-Scaled Serpent King. Perhaps because the Azure-Scaled Serpent King and the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent both belonged to the same serpent family, Yun Ming found the Azure-Scaled Serpent King's flight particularly smooth.

Seeing that the culprit was a 'small' poisonous snake, and that it dared to appear in front of it, the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc let out a roar, flapped its wings, and countless roc feathers, like sharp swords, slashed towards the Azure Scale Serpent King with the power to tear through space.

The Azure-Scaled Serpent King was not intimidated at all. It opened its mouth wide and spewed a cloud of green poisonous mist towards the Silver Roc in the sky. After spewing the poisonous mist, the Azure-Scaled Serpent King flapped its wings and flew higher. Most of the Roc Feather Swords were dodged, and the few that could not be dodged were shattered one by one by the Azure-Scaled Serpent King using its tail as a whip. Although it also caused some damage to the Azure-Scaled Serpent King, with some of the azure scales on its tail broken, it was not a serious matter.

Faced with the oncoming poisonous mist, the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc adjusted its angle and, with a flap of its wings, deflected the mist back towards Dugu Bo. The Azure-Scaled Serpent King ignored the returned mist and continued its attack; its poisonous mist was of little use to him.

The snake opened its mouth, and another wave of emerald green poisonous light shot straight towards the Sky Silver Roc. This time, the Sky Silver Roc could not dodge in time and could only use its pair of huge wings as a shield. A layer of silver-white shield appeared on its wings to block the poisonous light wave from the Azure Scale Serpent King.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Silver Roc's wings had transformed into a shield, preventing it from moving, the Azure Scale Serpent King quickly flew towards the Heavenly Silver Roc and lashed out with a venomous snake tail whip at its back, causing the Heavenly Silver Roc to stagger.

The Sky-Piercing Silver Roc was enraged to see that the 'little' venomous snake that Dugu Bo had conjured dared to slap it. As a top-tier flying spirit beast, being slapped by a snake enraged it. It wanted to kill Dugu Bo first before expelling the poison. Although the Azure Scale Serpent King's venom was very potent, its resistance to it was also very strong.

Even though the Sky Silver Roc is currently weak and has to suppress the potent poison within its body, it is still the overlord of the sky.

With a roar like a roc, it unfurled its enormous silver wings and unleashed a Sky-Piercing Wing Slash at the Azure Serpent King. Sensing the immense power of the heavens and the spatial slash carried by the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc Wings, Dugu Bo dared not take the blow head-on; he feared he would be severed in two by a single wing. The Azure Serpent King hastily twisted its agile, relatively small body to dodge.

The Skywing Slash unleashed a silver blade, which the Azure Scale Serpent King dodged, then hurtled towards Yun Ming and Yang Wutian below. The two hastily retreated sideways. Then, Yang Wutian and Yun Ming witnessed the birth of a canyon.

Wherever the silver blade passed, the earth was torn apart, and nothing could stop it. After the wing light finally dissipated, only a ferocious canyon about 100 meters deep and 2 kilometers long was left behind. Due to the influence of spatial power, it was not smooth at all.

Dugu Bo also saw the results of the Sky Wing Slash. His resolve to fight a direct confrontation and instead engage in hit-and-run tactics became even stronger, otherwise he would definitely be doomed!

Seeing its wing strike miss, the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc flapped its wings and pounced on the Azure-Scaled Serpent King again, its claws striking out simultaneously, one aimed at the vital spot, the other tearing through space. The Azure-Scaled Serpent King, meanwhile, flapped its wings, taking advantage of the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc's sluggish and stiffened movements due to the potent poison, to evade the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc's direct attacks. It continuously spat venom and poisonous light at the Sky-Piercing Silver Roc, disrupting and hindering its attack rhythm, and attempting to force it to absorb more toxins, thus worsening its poisoning symptoms.

Aside from some unavoidable attacks, it wouldn't use its snake body to catch them; even if it did, it would retreat immediately upon contact.

The silver and green light collided continuously, causing the entire mountain to tremble. In an instant, rocks flew everywhere, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Faced with the new wing attack launched by the Sky Silver Roc, the Azure Scale Serpent King could not avoid it in time. It swept its tail out to try to block the attack and then use the force to retreat. But this time the Sky Silver Roc had learned its lesson, or rather, because the poison was having a greater and greater effect on it, it was forced to become smarter.

This time, its wing attack was just a feint. The real purpose of the Sky Silver Roc was to tear the Azure Scale Serpent King apart if it misused its strength and couldn't dodge in time.

After the Azure Scale Serpent King lashed out at the wing of the Sky Silver Roc with its tail, it slid away along the smooth feathers. Dugu Bo immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late!

"Dragon Claw of the Sky"

The Heavenly Silver Roc unleashed its innate soul skill, which Dugu Bo could no longer dodge.

Dugu Bo encountered a crisis, but Yun Ming also saw an opportunity.

Yun Ming loudly reminded Dugu Bo.

"Petrifying Ray!"

Then Yun Ming used the Sky-Supporting Mark to teleport Yang Wutian several times, arriving in front of the Sky Silver Roc's claws.

All four of Yang Wutian's ten-thousand-year-old soul rings lit up, and the pitch-black Soul-Breaking Spear was shrouded in black flames. Yang Wutian borrowed power from the Azure Scale Serpent King, pouring all his soul power into this spear, directly clashing with the 'Heavenly Dome Dragon Claw'.

"Soul-Shattering Strike!"

The spear's edge met the roc's claw, and the spear's edge collided with the claw's edge, producing a loud bang.

"Clang!!!"

Although Yang Wutian was at a disadvantage, he still managed to block the claw attack of the Sky Silver Roc.

Dugu Bo was not idle either. Two pale white beams of light shot out simultaneously from the white eyes of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, heading straight for the Silver Roc in the sky.

The Sky-Piercing Silver Roc attempted to mobilize spatial energy to create a shield to block the petrifying rays. Upon seeing this, Yun Ming activated the Sky-Supporting Divine Spear, its white flames igniting and the "Anti-Air Power" activated.

Under Yun Ming's full-force attack, the shield that the Sky Silver Roc temporarily mobilized to form with spatial energy was completely destroyed internally and was directly pierced by the petrifying ray.

Petrifying ray, hit!
