Chapter 29 Dugu Bo Joins the Haotian Sect
As for joining a sect...
Dugu Bo lived a solitary life and rarely had close relationships with anyone except his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps having someone to rely on wasn't a bad thing.
"Your Excellency is so frank, and Dugu Bo is not one to mince words." Dugu Bo took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting.
"I am honored by the Clear Sky Sect's high regard for me. I, Dugu Bo, am willing to join the sect as a guest elder and fight alongside you all against the Spirit Hall!"
"Great! Welcome to the team!" Tang Kun's eyes flashed with joy.
The addition of a poison master who is about to break through to the Title Douluo level is undoubtedly a timely help for the Haotian Sect.
This gives us an even greater chance of success in our future confrontation with the Spirit Hall.
"But before that, senior, you should absorb the soul bone and soul ring first," Tang Yu reminded him.
"Your body can't hold on much longer."
Dugu Bo nodded, no longer hesitating.
He walked to Medusa's corpse and reached out to press his hand on the purple halo.
As the soul power drew in, a strange bone, entirely purplish-black in color and shaped like Medusa's head, slowly rose up.
The head and soul bone of Medusa, which is 80,000 years old!
Dugu Bo sat down cross-legged, placed the soul bone in front of his forehead, and began to absorb it.
The dark green Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared behind him, resonating with the purplish-black energy emanating from Medusa's Soul Bone.
The two top-tier martial soul powers, both belonging to the snake family, attracted and merged with each other.
Tang Kun stood guard to the side, his aura as a nine-ring titled Douluo emanating out, deterring other soul beasts in the forest that might be attracted by the soul bone energy.
Tang Yu carefully observed Dugu Bo's process of absorbing the soul bone.
He could see that the dark green poisonous mist around Dugu Bo was surging wildly, as if it had found an outlet, and was converging towards the Medusa head soul bone.
However, the process was far more painful than he had imagined.
"Ugh—!"
Dugu Bo groaned, veins bulging on his forehead, his whole body trembling violently.
The deadly toxins that had accumulated in the internal organs, limbs and bones over the decades were now being forcibly stripped away and guided away. The pain was like being cut into a thousand pieces, or like ten thousand ants gnawing at the heart.
What's even more terrifying is that these deadly poisons have long since become one with his soul power and flesh. Forcibly separating them would not only be painful, but would also damage his foundation!
"Senior, calm down!"
Tang Yu's voice clearly reached Dugu Bo's ears.
"Since you have been cultivating the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul for decades, your body has long been integrated with the toxins. Therefore, the removal of the toxins cannot be rushed and must be done gradually. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the backlash may be even more severe."
"Moreover, senior should try to stabilize his own poison first. There will be plenty of time in the future to force the poison into the soul bone. Now is not the time to be greedy and reckless."
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Dugu Bo stopped trying to force out all the toxins at once. Instead, he used his soul power as a guide to slowly expel the toxins and channel them into his soul bone.
In this way, the pain, though still present, becomes bearable.
More importantly, the damage to the body was minimized.
Tang Kun stood aside, watching his grandson calmly instruct a Soul Douluo powerhouse, and felt a surge of emotions.
This child is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Time passed second by second.
The light from the soul bone on Dugu Bo's forehead grew brighter and brighter, and its color gradually changed from the initial purplish-black to a strange luster of purple, green and black intertwined.
That was the change resulting from the fusion of Medusa's soul bone power and the deadly poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King.
At the same time, Dugu Bo's complexion gradually improved.
The bluish-black death aura that had enveloped his face slowly faded away, and although he was still pale, he had regained some color.
The uncontrollable churning of poisonous mist around him gradually subsided and became docile and controllable.
The most obvious change was his aura—his soul power, which had been disordered and unstable due to the backlash from the poison, had now become solid and substantial, and even showed faint signs of a breakthrough!
"It's a success..." Dugu Bo opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming.
The soul bone on his forehead had completely merged into his body, leaving a faint purple-green snake-shaped mark between his eyebrows.
"How are you feeling?" Tang Kun asked.
"It's better than ever before!" Dugu Bo stood up, stretched his limbs, and showed an incredulous surprise on his face.
"More than half of the deadly toxins that had accumulated in his body for decades have transferred to his soul bone!"
"The remaining trace of toxin is not only harmless, but it can also complement my soul power, aiding my cultivation!"
He took a deep breath, and the eight spirit rings around his body automatically appeared. The light that had been dimmed by the poison now became dazzling.
Tang Kun nodded: "In that case, there's no time to lose, Brother Dugu, please absorb this soul ring as soon as possible."
Dugu Bo looked at the deep black spirit ring, his eyes no longer showing any hesitation.
He walked to Medusa's corpse, sat down cross-legged, and released the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul.
The 80,000-year-old spirit ring was drawn down and slowly descended, encircling his body.
This time, the absorption process went exceptionally smoothly.
Without the worry of poison backlash, Dugu Bo could focus entirely on absorbing the soul ring.
While Dugu Bo was absorbing the spirit ring, Tang Yu was not idle either, and began to look around at his surroundings.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed discovered a hidden cave entrance.
Looking at the cave entrance, a thought instantly popped into Tang Yu's mind: "Could this be the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
Just as Tang Yu was still fantasizing about whether this cave entrance was the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo had successfully absorbed the spirit ring.
"boom--!"
A powerful aura erupted from Dugu Bo.
A dark green light shot into the sky, condensing behind him into a gigantic phantom of a Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, its serpent eyes opening and coldly surveying the forest.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Nine spirit rings appeared one by one. The last black spirit ring, though deep in color, had a faint hint of dark red at its edges—a symbol of being close to the level of 100,000 years!
Level 91!
Title Douluo!
Dugu Bo stood up and roared to the sky.
The whistling sound was filled with exhilaration and liberation.
Decades of suffering from deadly poison and decades of uncertainty about the future vanished in an instant!
He is now a true Title Douluo, and because he has resolved the hidden danger of poison backlash, his future cultivation path will be smooth sailing!
"Congratulations, Senior Dugu, on achieving your title." Tang Yu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Congratulations, Brother Dugu." Tang Kun also smiled.
Dugu Bo restrained his aura and solemnly bowed to the two of them.
"If it weren't for the help of the two of you, I, Dugu Bo, would not only have failed to obtain a title today, but I would probably have already died from the poison and become a pile of bones in this forest."
"This kindness and gratitude will never be forgotten!"
He spoke sincerely, his eyes no longer showing any arrogance, only genuine gratitude.
"Brother Dugu, you flatter me." Tang Kun helped him up. "Now that you've joined the Haotian Sect, you're one of us, so helping each other is only right."
"Brother Dugu, now that you have broken through, do you need time to stabilize your realm?" Tang Kun asked.
Dugu Bo sensed the surging soul power within his body and shook his head.
"The soul ring absorption went smoothly, and my cultivation level has stabilized."
"Alright." Tang Kun glanced at the sky. "We've been out for too long, it's time to return to the sect. The relocation is imminent, and there are still many things to prepare."
