Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 230 Ning Rongrong Makes Her Move, Dugu Yan's Sixth Soul Ring

The Purple Serpent King spat out a large mouthful of purple poisonous mist at Dugu Yan, instantly enveloping her.

However, Dugu Yan neither dodged nor avoided the Purple Nether Serpent King's poison, which was enough to make even a Soul Saint extremely wary.

Despite being enveloped in the poisonous fog, Dugu Yan remained unfazed. The toxins, which would have made even a Soul Saint expert wary, had no effect on her whatsoever.

After her martial soul evolved, Dugu Yan herself became essentially the source of poison. Therefore, unless the poison used by a powerful being of a much higher level than her was applied, it could not have any effect on Dugu Yan.

Now, Dugu Yan is essentially immune to all poisons, because these poisons are not as potent as her own, so they naturally cannot exert their effects.

The Purple Serpent King was already feeling quite smug, but the next moment it was filled with terror as it sensed its life force draining away.

Dugu Yan raised her hand and beckoned to the Purple Nether Serpent King. As her soul power surged, many small emerald green beads separated from the pores of the Purple Nether Serpent King's body. These beads were the Purple Nether Serpent King's life force.

As its life force was stripped away, the Purple Nether Serpent King instantly wilted, but it quickly reacted and hurriedly used all its strength to condense its soul power on its body surface to prevent its life force from being stripped away.

Although Dugu Yan's first soul skill is powerful, it is not omnipotent; otherwise, she would be invincible with just this soul skill.

Dugu Yan's first soul skill can indeed deprive someone of life force, but if the opponent reacts and uses a large amount of soul power to protect themselves, Dugu Yan will be unable to strike.

Unless the opponent's level is lower than Dugu Yan's, Dugu Yan will not be able to extract life force again.

Even so, this can accelerate the consumption of the opponent's soul power. As long as the opponent's soul power is consumed excessively, Dugu Yan can still extract the opponent's life force again.

At this moment, although the Purple Serpent King reacted immediately, Dugu Yan had also extracted about one-tenth of its life force. Under Dugu Yan's control, this life force was directly fed back to Dugu Yan herself, making her complexion even more rosy.

Although the Purple Serpent King was terrified, it launched a counterattack after discovering that Dugu Yan could no longer extract its life force. After all, it needed to consume a lot of soul power to protect itself and prevent its life force from being extracted, so it had to finish the battle quickly.

The Purple Nether Serpent King, with its body over four meters long, charged directly at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, remained expressionless, and her fourth spirit ring, which had been black on her body, lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill: Medusa's Gaze!

As she unleashed her soul skill, two gray-white beams of light shot out from Dugu Yan's eyes, directly locking onto the Purple Nether Serpent King that was charging towards her.

The Purple Serpent King watched as Dugu Yan launched her attack. By this time, it was already very wary of Dugu Yan's abilities, so it naturally dared not take the attack head-on.

Suddenly, the Purple Nether Serpent King opened its mouth wide, and a foul stench wafted out. It then spat out two venom bullets, each half a meter in diameter, formed from condensed venom.

The venom bullets were petrified after hitting the two grayish-white beams of light, and then fell to the ground and turned into rubble.

As a top-tier snake-type soul beast, the Purple Nether Serpent King had naturally dealt with super snake-type soul beasts like Medusa. Upon seeing that Dugu Yan actually possessed such an ability, it reacted in an instant.

At this moment, the Purple Nether Serpent King spared no effort to expend a large amount of soul power, spitting out five more venom bullets at Dugu Yan, before turning around and leaving without daring to care about its people anymore.

A son and a wife can be found again, but if you lose your life, you lose everything. As the snake king, it knows how to make that choice.

When Dugu Yan saw that the Purple Nether Serpent King had given up resisting and was actually trying to escape, she was left with no choice.

Dugu Yan's strength lies in using poison to control and attack, but if the opponent wants to escape, she really has no way to stop it. After all, at her current level, poison is unlikely to have much effect on the Purple Nether Serpent King.

Dugu Yan swayed her snake tail to dodge the venomous bullets that were targeting her, and then chased after the Purple Nether Serpent King.

However, Dugu Yan's speed was still no match for the Purple Nether Serpent King, which had been around for over 40,000 years. In an instant, she was left dozens of meters behind. At such a distance, even Medusa could not hit her with a single strike.

After all, the Purple Serpent King doesn't run straight ahead; it would definitely avoid Dugu Yan's Medusa-like gaze.

Just then, Gu Xuan, accompanied by four women, arrived in front of the Purple Nether Serpent King from the sky, blocking its path.

The Purple Nether Serpent King, already a desperate fugitive, spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist at Gu Xuan and his companions.

Faced with the attack of the Purple Nether Serpent King, Gu Xuan did not make any move. Ning Rongrong held the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in front of Gu Xuan, her soul power surging within her body.

"The third soul skill of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover: Vast Ocean Raging Waves!"

Ning Rongrong directly used one of the skills of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. As her soul power surged and the soul skill was released, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her hand actually activated a huge waterfall with a diameter of ten meters, which directly suppressed the poisonous mist.

The spread of toxic fog requires air, but the air in seawater is thin and dozens of times denser than air, so it is impossible for the toxic fog to spread in a short period of time.

After blocking the poisonous fog, Ning Rongrong immediately activated the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"Second Soul Skill of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover: Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Cover!"

With the use of this second soul skill, Ning Rongrong's Vast Ocean Universe Cover directly turned into fragments and flew towards the Purple Nether Serpent King in front of her. Before the Purple Nether Serpent King could react, countless fragments of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover enveloped it and then formed a blue immobilization shield to trap it.

The main function of the Vast Ocean Stabilizing Shield skill is control, and the duration of the control is determined by the difference in soul power between the two sides.

Ning Rongrong's current soul power level is level 54. The "Vast Ocean Waves" skill she used previously consumed half of her soul power.

At this moment, in order to immobilize this soul beast that was over 40,000 years old, Ning Rongrong's remaining soul power was completely depleted.

Even so, Ning Rongrong could only control the Purple Nether Serpent King for a second, because the difference in their soul power was simply too great.

However, even a second was enough. Seeing that the Purple Serpent King was immobilized, Dugu Yan immediately activated her fourth soul skill, and two gray-white beams of light arrived in an instant.

The moment the Purple Serpent King was immobilized, it immediately surged its soul power in an attempt to break through the immobilization barrier. However, just as it broke through the barrier, it was immobilized again by two gray-white beams of light.

Because of the significant difference in strength, the Purple Serpent King was not completely petrified; only its lower body was petrified, but this undoubtedly restricted its movements.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the Purple Serpent King unleashed all its soul power, releasing all the toxins within its body. In just an instant, the poisonous mist released by the Purple Serpent King covered a range of ten meters and continued to spread.

However, Dugu Yan had already arrived in front of the Purple Nether Serpent King. Her first soul ring lit up again, and she absorbed all the poisonous mist released by the Purple Nether Serpent King, transforming it into pure soul power to replenish herself.

Poison is both a powerful weapon for Dugu Yan in her fight against enemies and a source of nourishment for her.

Fifth Soul Skill: Titan Poison Whip!

Dugu Yan released her fifth black spirit ring, and a huge snake tail, ten meters long, appeared silently like a Titan's hammer, smashing directly down on the head of the Purple Nether Serpent King. At this moment, the Purple Nether Serpent King had no way to avoid it.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the head of the Purple Serpent King exploded, and it lost all life!

A moment later, a black ten-thousand-year soul ring condensed on the body of the Purple Nether Serpent King. Dugu Yan sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing before preparing to absorb the soul ring.

Ning Rongrong also withdrew the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and sat cross-legged to the side to begin recovering her soul power. The two consecutive attacks and controls had consumed all of her soul power, and she needed to recover as soon as possible.

However, at the same time, Ning Rongrong also became more familiar with the skills and functions of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. If this continued, she would be able to make full use of this treasure.

A quarter of an hour later, Dugu Yan finished her meditation and began absorbing her sixth soul ring.

A sixth spirit ring of 43,000 years is more than enough for a seventh spirit ring of a Soul Saint. One can imagine the terrifying boost this spirit ring can bring to Dugu Yan.

Three full hours had passed, and six soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and three black—floated around Dugu Yan's body, signifying her formal advancement to the Soul Emperor level.

"I've reached level sixty-two." Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, her pretty face full of joy.

Now her soul power level is one level higher than Gu Xuandu's. With her own powerful strength, she now officially has the ability to fight a Soul Saint-level expert head-on.

However, although Gu Xuan's soul power level is only level 61, his strength cannot be limited by the simple soul power level alone.

Dugu Yan successfully absorbed the sixth spirit ring, and Ning Rongrong also recovered her spirit power. The group immediately headed to the next location to obtain the fifth spirit ring for Li Li.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
