[With Tang Chuan's speed, he soon arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial City.]
[From afar, the towering palace complex in the center of the imperial city came into view.]
[Deep within the palace, earth-shaking spirit power fluctuations were erupting; various colors of light soared into the sky, accompanied by constant booming roars, faintly mixed with the angry cries of dragons and hissing roars!]
["Has the fighting already started?"]
[A flash of urgency crossed Tang Chuan's eyes as his speed increased further, crashing toward the center of the battle like a falling meteor!]
[Approaching the battlefield.]
[On the messy palace square, three massive creatures were locked in a fierce, frenzied battle!]
[One side was none other than Dugu Bo, who had revealed his Martial Soul True Body!]
[At this moment, he no longer looked like an old man, but had transformed into a terrifying venomous flood dragon over twenty meters long, covered in dark green dragon scales, with two horns on its head and claws beneath its belly!]
[This was the Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon True Body!]
[The flood dragon was surrounded by surging, terrifying dark green poison mist; wherever it passed, bricks and stones were corroded, and vegetation withered. Between its roars, it spat out toxic breath, and the poison mist filled the air with terrifying power.]
[However, his opponents were even more fierce, and there were—two of them!]
[One of them possessed a Spirit that was an incredibly massive, blood-red, bizarre pufferfish covered in sharp, scalp-numbing poisonous spines.]
[It was the Spirit Hall Elder, Porcupinefish Douluo!]
[The defensive power of Porcupinefish Douluo's Martial Soul True Body was astonishing, but even more terrifying was its bizarre ability to swallow, store, and convert toxins!]
[Facing Dugu Bo's overwhelming poisonous attacks.]
[The blood-colored Porcupinefish did not dodge; instead, it opened its massive mouth and, like a whale swallowing water, sucked a large amount of poison mist and liquid into its body. The blood-light on its surface grew even more vibrant, and its aura faintly rose!]
[Its resistance to and utilization of toxins happened to counter Dugu Bo's most skilled poison attacks to a certain extent!]
[The other person's Spirit was an even more bizarre and terrifying Purple-Green Double-Headed Giant Snake!]
[Its body was thick and covered in fine scales, presented in a spindle shape that flared up like sharp blades, emitting a metallic luster. One snake head was deep purple, while the other was bluish-black.]
[It was the other Spirit Hall Elder, Snake Lance Douluo!]
[This two-headed giant snake also had extremely strong resistance to toxins. Its two heads attacked alternately, possessing powerful physical biting and Binding abilities. Working in perfect coordination with Porcupinefish Douluo—one attacking and one defending—they kept Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon firmly pinned down!]
[Although Dugu Bo was strong and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon True Body was domineering, he was facing two powerful enemies who had also reached the Titled Douluo level, possessed abilities that countered him to some degree, and coordinated perfectly!]
[If he were fighting only one person, Dugu Bo might not have been at a disadvantage.]
[But facing two at the same time, Dugu Bo was somewhat outmatched.]
[Under the fierce battle, several parts of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon True Body's scales had shattered, with wounds deep enough to see bone. Dark green dragon blood constantly spilled out; he had clearly suffered significant injuries.]
[The poison domain around him was being continuously swallowed and weakened by Porcupinefish Douluo, while his attacks were nimbly blocked or endured by the two-headed snake. The battle situation could be described as a steady retreat.]
[The massive dragon tail swept and the flood dragon charged, destroying large sections of the surrounding ornate palace buildings. Booms continued and dust rose, yet it was difficult to truly wound his two opponents.]
[And just then.]
[A gentle yet indisputably majestic voice rang out from the roof of a nearby, still-intact palace.]
["Mister Dugu, why be so persistent?"]
[Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had stood upon the palace roof at some unknown point, his golden formal robes fluttering slightly in the night wind. On that feminine and handsome Face, his expression was calm and indifferent as he looked down at the tragic battle below.]
[His gaze fell upon the Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon, which was weak in aura but still fierce, and his tone carried a hint of pity and persuasion.]
["Imperial Uncle Xue Xing indeed saved your life, Mister, but you have helped many times over these years. That debt of gratitude has long since been mostly repaid."]
["Why place yourself in such danger for a dead man?"]
[Speaking to this point, Xue Qinghe's tone shifted as he began to recruit him.]
["As long as you stop now and are willing to submit, I guarantee in the name of the Heaven Dou heir that you will remain the Chief Guest Elder of our Imperial Family. Your status will be respected, and your treatment... will only be higher and more relied upon than before."]
["I am as good as my word!"]
[But facing Xue Qinghe's recruitment, Dugu Bo simply would not accept it.]
["Bah!"]
[The Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon True Body let out a hoarse roar full of disdain and anger.]
["You green youth, what do you know? A life-saving debt is a life-saving debt! How can it be measured or repaid by those worldly rewards or empty titles and status?!"]
["Back then, His Highness the Prince saved my life."]
["This debt, I will repay with this life of mine, and I do so willingly!"]
[As he spoke, Dugu Bo fixed his massive dragon pupils on Xue Qinghe atop the palace roof and shouted with fury.]
["As for you, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou and the future hope of the Empire, you secretly colluded with Spirit Hall, murdered your sovereign father, poisoned your imperial uncle, and slaughtered your brothers!"]
["Your actions of defying human relations, colluding with foreign enemies, and bringing chaos to the country are simply too numerous to record!"]
["Even if I die today and my Dao is extinguished, I will seek justice for Heaven Dou, for His Majesty, and for the Prince and Princes who died in vain!"]
["Just you wait; the heavens have eyes. A person who acts so perversely as you will surely Face divine retribution!"]
[Hearing this, the gentle indifference on Xue Qinghe's Face finally vanished completely, replaced by a cold sneer and mockery.]
[He shook his head lightly, as if looking at a piece of rotten wood that refused to recognize the situation.]
["Divine retribution? Hehe... Dugu Bo, your vision is too narrow; you don't understand at all."]
["This continent has been Split for a long time, with various nations standing side-by-side and constant wars. Spirit Masters stand high above, while commoners are like ants."]
["In such a World, what talk is there of a future? My cooperation with Spirit Hall is not for private gain, but to end this ten-thousand-year chaos and injustice! It is to establish a unified, powerful, and orderly new World! It is so that billions of commoners can truly live stable and prosperous lives!"]
["This is the Great Righteousness; how could a pedantic old fool like you understand?"]
[As he spoke, Xue Qinghe's gaze swept over the scarred but still standing Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon, and his tone turned cold.]
["Dugu Bo, for the sake of Brother Tang Chuan's Face, I will give you one last chance."]
["Surrender and swear loyalty to me, and I can let everything in the past go."]
["If it were anyone else who dared to defy me so, they would have been hacked into ten thousand pieces and their entire clan executed!"]
["Little Chuan's Face?"]
[Dugu Bo laughed out of extreme anger. The poisonous light around the Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon suddenly flared up again; he was actually prepared to make a final desperate strike regardless of his injuries.]
["When I act, why must I look at another's Face! If you want to fight, then fight; what do I fear!"]
[Just as the Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon was gathering its final strength, Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and Porcupinefish and Snake Lance Douluo were also prepared to deliver a fatal blow to Dugu Bo at the critical moment.]
["BOOM—!!!!"]
[The night sky was suddenly pierced by a tearing streak of light!]
[A blue-gold streak of light, carrying a sharp sonic boom and a majestic airwave, descended like a meteor from the heavens, crashing violently toward the center of the battle at an unheard-of speed!]
["BANG—!!!!!!!"]
[In a deafening roar, that "meteor" crashed with pinpoint accuracy into the open ground between the Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon and the two-headed giant snake!]
[The incredibly hard Granite square ground exploded.]
[A cracked crater dozens of meters in diameter formed instantly, and a violent shockwave mixed with stone fragments and dust swept out in a ring, leveling the already crumbling palace ruins nearby once more!]
[As the dust settled slightly, a young man wearing blue-gold combat attire appeared, his figure tall and straight, with hair and eyes like blue crystals and peerlessly handsome features, standing in the deep crater.]
[In the wild wind, Tang Chuan's Face was calm and his gaze cold; his blue crystal-like long hair and robes fluttered in the wind.]
["Little Chuan!"]
[When he saw it was Tang Chuan, Dugu Bo, who was still in his Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon True Body, could not help but be surprised and delighted, feeling incredibly moved.]
