"Unless the opponent's strength far surpasses mine, possesses some protective treasure, or wields an extreme-attribute counter, anyone hit by it is guaranteed to die—even the bones will melt to sludge!"
"Hiss—"
Everyone around drew a sharp breath.
Who would dare duel the Old Poison after this?
"What about the second one?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Dugu Bo chuckled, his gaze turning strange.
"The second ability is called Myriad Venom Devouring Heart – Celestial Python True Form!"
"It isn't a Spirit Avatar; it's an amplification state."
"Once activated, I myself become the source of ten-thousand poisons, every attribute rising by fifty percent."
"More importantly, within fifty meters of me all air, water—even space itself—is instantly converted into a toxic environment."
"Inside this zone, enemies' spirit power consumption doubles, and they can't recover by absorbing spirit power from outside."
"Think of it as an unconventional Domain-type Spirit Ability."
After hearing the description even Lin Yuan couldn't help raising an eyebrow; the two skills granted by this hundred thousand year spirit bone were genuinely impressive!
...Across the continent, when others saw the heavenly screen bestow rewards on Dugu Bo, their faces turned green.
They hadn't expected Dugu Bo to silently advance to level ninety-six, condensing his Jade Phosphor soul core.
Judging by the system's reward, he should at least hit ninety-seven, right?
And what exactly was that Jade Phosphor Poison Canon?
Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu smiled as he watched the heavenly screen explain Dugu Bo's abilities: "No wonder his strength shot up so fast—he obtained a cultivation method from Lin Yuan."
"If a non-disciple can improve this much, imagine what will happen once Xiao Xue studies under Lin Yuan for a while? I'm really looking forward to it."
The tiny golden characters before them shifted again.

...Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Sixteenth place?"
"Only one rank above that old poisoner?"
Yu Yuanzhen's beard trembled in fury; he stamped so hard the rock beneath him shattered to dust.
"Why?"
"I'm the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! I possess the number-one Beast Spirit under heaven!"
"Before, that old poisoner didn't dare breathe loudly in front of me!"
"Now we're separated by just one spot?"
"And…"
Yu Yuanzhen stared fixedly at the reward column, eyes full of resentment.
"That old poisoner gets a hundred thousand year spirit bone—why don't I?"
"Is the heavenly dao targeting me?"
He didn't even notice his total rewards already surpassed Dugu Bo's by quite a bit!
Though a hundred times unconvinced, his body was honest: the instant the heavenly dao golden light descended he calmed his mind and began absorbing the vast energy.
"Boom!!"
A violent pillar of lightning swallowed him whole.
First came the spirit power breakthrough—
Rank 97!
Next, the nine spirit rings at his feet began to pulse.
Under the 5,000-year boost, the original fourth purple ring deepened until it turned pitch-black.
Three purple, six black!
His spirit ring configuration rose another tier!
"Roar!!"
Yu Yuanzhen howled at the sky; a thunderous rumble echoed from within as two vortexes formed simultaneously—one in his Dantian, one between his brows.
A resplendent thunder soul core!
A crystalline spirit soul core!
Dual cores resonating!
"Bang!"
A terrifying shock-wave erupted, sweeping across True Dragon Mountain.
Propelled by this force, his freshly advanced rank-97 spirit power surged again—
Rank 98!
"So this is the might of Dual Spirit Cores?"
Clenching dragon-scale fists, feeling the endless, self-renewing spirit power, some of his resentment finally faded.
"At 98, I've already surpassed every ancestor!"
But it wasn't over yet!
The lightning spirit power inside him began a qualitative shift.
The original blue-violet lightning turned purer, becoming a near-transparent azure that carried world-destroying might.
Extreme Thunder!
Wherever it passes, all withers and evil retreats!
"Blue Lightning Thunder Prison!"
With a low shout he released his newly awakened innate Domain.
"Crackle—"
A hundred-meter radius became a sea of lightning.
Arm-thick bolts roamed the field, forming a thunderous cage.
Domain Effects:
[Thunder Suppression: non-Lightning Spirit abilities lose 30% power, Lightning abilities lose 50% (unless also Extreme Thunder).]
[Paralysis Field: foes inside suffer constant lightning strikes each second, high chance of paralysis, speed and reflexes plummet.]
[Thor's Fury: Yu Yuanzhen can detonate every bolt inside the Domain for a devastating area strike!]
"What a ferocious Domain!"
Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed.
With this, he'd be a thunder god in any group fight!
"It's still not over!"
Three-Word Battle Armor!
Countless azure metallic streams poured from the void, instantly covering his entire body.
A savage, awe-inspiring full-body armor took shape.
Dragon-head pauldrons, scale-mail tassets, and on his back gigantic mechanical dragon-wings crackling with violent current.
Three-Word Battle Armor—Thunder Dragon King!
"Buzz—"
With the armor donned, his aura rocketed once more.
His rank-98 spirit power, amplified by the armor, now brushed the threshold of 99!
"This…"
"So this is the might of Battle Armor?!"
Hovering in mid-air, feeling near-invincible, Yu Yuanzhen was practically floating…
