"Yes, senior."
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan immediately nodded in agreement.
Opportunities are fleeting, and absorbing poison-attribute soul bones in this highly toxic environment certainly has a unique advantage.
"Grandpa, please protect me."
Dugu Yan turned to Dugu Bo and said with a determined look in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Yan Yan, with Grandpa here, not even a fly can get in!"
Dugu Bo patted his chest to assure him, then flashed away and retreated to a boulder at the edge of the poisonous pool, warily watching his surroundings.
Although the Medusas were terrified by Yu Nan's dragon might, he dared not be careless in the slightest for his granddaughter's safety.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the swirling, dark green venomous pool.
If it were in the past, she would probably have had to be extremely careful to even get close to this deadly poison that could corrode even a Soul Saint.
But now...
"Martial Soul, Possess!"
With a clear and melodious shout, Dugu Yan's body shone with a brilliant purple light.
hold head high--!
A deep and majestic dragon roar echoed through the valley.
A phantom image of a venomous dragon, its body entirely purple-gold, suddenly appeared behind her.
As the martial soul possessed her, Dugu Yan's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, and a faint layer of purplish-gold scales appeared on her originally fair skin.
She leaped into the pool of ten thousand poisons!
Thump!
The dark green venom instantly engulfed her.
However, the horrific scene of the skin tearing open and turning into pus, as expected, did not occur.
On the contrary, the potentially deadly venom surged joyfully the moment it came into contact with Dugu Yan's body, as if it had met a family member.
They frantically burrowed into Dugu Yan's body through the pores of her fur.
Not only did it not cause any harm, but it also transformed into streams of pure energy, nourishing her meridians and martial spirit.
"Comfortable..."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but let out a groan.
This feeling is like returning to a mother's embrace—warm, comfortable, and full of security.
She floated cross-legged in the center of the poisonous pool, with only her head and shoulders visible.
The purplish-gray, 60,000-year-old Bone-Eating Venom King Scorpion Tail Hook Bone was currently hovering in front of her, emitting a faint purple light.
"Begin, use your soul power to guide it, and let it fuse with your spine."
Yu Nan's voice rang in Dugu Yan's mind, steady and powerful:
"Remember, the process of fusing external soul bones is extremely painful because it requires breaking your original skeletal structure and reshaping it into a new form."
You must grit your teeth and hold on; you absolutely cannot faint!
"clear!"
Dugu Yan silently recited the mantra, then mobilized all her soul power, transforming it into strands of purple silk threads that wrapped around the tailbone.
Buzz!
Drawn by the soul power, the coccyx seemed to come alive and trembled violently.
Then it transformed into a streak of light and pierced deeply into Dugu Yan's spine!
"ah--!!"
A piercing scream instantly echoed through the valley.
The excruciating pain felt as if someone had forcibly pulled out my spine and then shoved a red-hot iron rod inside.
This caused Dugu Yan's face to turn deathly pale instantly, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Her body trembled violently, and the once calm poisonous pool was now filled with turbulent waves due to the violent soul power that erupted from her body.
"Yan Yan!"
Hearing his granddaughter's screams from the shore, Dugu Bo felt as if his heart was being torn apart and instinctively wanted to rush over.
"Don't move!"
Yu Nan sternly shouted to stop:
"This is a transformation she had to go through!"
Your interference now will only harm her!
Dugu Bo abruptly stopped, gripping the rock beneath him so tightly that his fingernails broke.
Blood was flowing freely, but he was completely unaware of it.
He could only watch helplessly as his granddaughter struggled in agony in the poisonous pool, silently praying in his heart.
At this moment, Dugu Yan felt as if she were in purgatory.
The moment the coccyx entered her body, it released an extremely domineering and chilling energy.
This energy spread wildly along her spine.
Wherever it passed, bones shattered inch by inch, only to rapidly regenerate under the nourishment of soul power and venom.
The pain of having your bones shattered and regenerated is simply unbearable for a human being!
"Hold on... I must hold on..."
Dugu Yan clenched her teeth so tightly that her lips bled.
Fresh blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
It dripped into the dark green, poisonous pool.
It spread instantly.
The image of her grandfather having to bow down to others to protect her kept flashing through her mind.
The expectant look in Senior Yu Nan's eyes came to mind...
"I want to become stronger... I want to become stronger!!"
An indomitable will erupted in Dugu Yan's heart.
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying light burst forth from her purple-gold vertical pupils.
hold head high--!
Yu Nan was also satisfied with Dugu Yan's will.
With a thought, the phantom of the poisonous dragon behind Dugu Yan roared to the sky.
Then it suddenly swooped down and burrowed into Dugu Yan's body!
boom!
A terrifying shockwave swept outwards from Dugu Yan, blasting the venom in the entire poison pool into the sky!
In the midst of the torrential rain, Dugu Yan's clothes on the back instantly ripped apart.
A brilliant purple light emanated from her spine.
Immediately afterwards, purplish-gray joints emerged from under the skin on her back, growing and extending rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a three-meter-long scorpion tail, entirely purplish-gray in color and with a sharp barb at the end, suddenly appeared behind her!
The scorpion's tail swayed nimbly, each flick accompanied by a chilling whooshing sound.
The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by its sharp tail hook.
At the same time, the venom in the Poison Pool seemed to be summoned by something, and frantically converged towards the scorpion's tail.
The originally dark green pool water became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye!
All the toxins were completely devoured by this newly formed external soul bone!
"It's...it's done?!"
Dugu Bo, standing on the shore, watched this scene with such emotion that he trembled all over and tears streamed down his face.
Sixty thousand years of external soul bone!
It really worked!
As the last bit of venom was absorbed, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, her demeanor changed drastically.
Her original charm now carries an air of chilling coldness and domineering aura.
The purplish-gray scorpion tail behind him swayed gently, like the scythe of death, exuding a deadly threat.
How are you feeling?
Yu Nan's voice carried a hint of satisfaction.
"After the coccyx was completely absorbed, it directly absorbed all the toxins in the poison pool."
"The lifespan has increased by 60,000 years, reaching the level of 120,000 years."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was shocked.
"120,000?"
Dugu Bo gasped.
"Don't forget, Yan Yan still has a 200,000-year-old torso bone inside her!"
Yu Nan said calmly.
The ability to absorb toxins is the most basic capability of this bone-corroding scorpion tail hook bone.
