Chapter 24 Beating up Dugu Bo! Endless Nightmare! Divine Dragon Realm!
An extremely malevolent chill suddenly emanated from Lin Fan. His Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul manifested, and the second soul ring rising beneath his feet no longer concealed its true color, reverting to its original orange-gold hue!
Lin Fan quickly raised his right arm, and his right index finger had turned ice blue at some point, while his eyes shone with a piercing white light.
"If you dare to touch the person I've chosen, be prepared to die!"
He pointed his index finger forward, and instantly, a streak of icy blue light flashed and disappeared in the air.
Tianmeng's Finger! (Ultimate Evil + Tianmeng's Sealed Spiritual Essence Version)
He struck Dugu Bo squarely in the face, just millimeters from his finger!
The old poison master Dugu Bo was thrown heavily to the ground. At such close range, he was completely unprepared, which was no less than opening his mental sea without any defense and taking the mental attack of a mental-type Title Douluo head-on!
This blow was like a heavy hammer slamming into his soul, causing Dugu Bo to howl in pain, clutching his head and rolling wildly on the ground. Even the brilliance of his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul dimmed slightly. His Martial Soul True Body was nearly shattered.
"If you ask me, we should do it the way you did, why make it so complicated~" Tianmeng's arrogant voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.
Lin Fan urged, "Stop talking nonsense, he's moving!"
Dugu Bo stared intently at the person in front of him, as if he had suddenly become a different person. He channeled his poisonous soul power into his palm and lunged at him!
The orange-gold spirit rings flashed as the second spirit skill, Endless Nightmare (enhanced by the spiritual essence of Tianmeng), appeared!
The hand, imbued with potent poisonous soul power, trembled and froze in mid-air just before it was about to touch Lin Fan.
He was so close to catching him, but Dugu Bo just couldn't bring himself to do it!
An endless nightmare overwhelmed Dugu Bo like a tidal wave, and the scene before his eyes instantly twisted and changed.
He saw the figures of his grandfather and father appear, both of them looking like they had died tragically.
Then, there was the son's young but pale face. He lay on the bed, his breath weak: "Father, I can't hold on any longer..." His daughter-in-law was beside him, tears streaming down her face, before finally closing her eyes. Meanwhile, her soul power shattered, her heart breaking, and she died for love.
"Grandpa, I don't want to live anymore. Just kill me already, I can't bear this much torture... I don't want to be tortured to death like my father!" These are the words of Dugu Yan after she grew up.
These images kept replaying in his mind's eye, and those familiar yet painful voices echoed in his ears: "It's all this poison, it's all this poison that has ruined us! Die quickly, end this curse!"
"No, this isn't real, it's all fake!" Dugu Bo roared, trying to break free from this endless nightmare, but all his efforts were in vain under the spiritual power of Tianmeng.
"Impossible! You're all dead...you can't be standing here!"
Although it's hard to believe, it all feels too real.
"I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference!"
The Martial Soul True Body finally shattered amidst endless fear and pain.
If it were anyone else, they would not have been able to successfully cast the Endless Nightmare on Dugu Bo, for no other reason than the vast difference in their mental strength.
Even if it succeeded, it couldn't possibly have such good results. Ultimately, the reason is that he is too weak.
Lin Fan said, "Use the Demon Spider to parasitize Dugu Bo."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng immediately suppressed her playful expression, her second soul ring suddenly lit up, and Tianmeng's spiritual essence flowed like living water, quickly condensing into three dark green Soul-Devouring Spiders.
Dugu Bo was still immersed in the torment of endless nightmares and was completely unaware of everything in the outside world.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the three Soul-Devouring Spiders transformed into three streams of light, instantly entering Dugu Bo's brow and reaching his sea of consciousness.
"Are you... still Lin Fan?" Yue Guan frowned as he looked at Lin Fan, his eyes full of vigilance. His soul power surged faintly around him, as if he would not hesitate to attack if Lin Fan made the slightest move.
"Elder Ju, of course it's me." Lin Fan regained control of his body, and his eyes returned to their normal color.
His tone was respectful, yet subtly laced with a threat: "Everyone has their own secrets, don't they? Please, Elder, do not spread this matter, and absolutely do not tell the teacher."
"Don't worry, I'm not that talkative." Yue Guan nodded. Looking at Dugu Bo, who was writhing on the ground in pain, he asked, "What do you plan to do with this old poisoner?"
"Hey, Dugu Bo. Do you want to live?" As he spoke, Lin Fan took a few steps back, afraid that the Title Douluo in front of him would suddenly kill him.
The endless nightmare automatically dissipated the moment I regained control of my body, while the three demonic spiders continued to gnaw at his mind.
"Now I'll give you two choices."
"First, submit to me and join the Spirit Hall, and you can live."
"Second, if you don't join, then you'll just have to wait for your spiritual sea to be swallowed up and you to die."
Ultimately, they were the ones who broke into someone else's herb garden and acted as robbers. Besides, Lin Fan was short of a henchman.
So they gave him this opportunity.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is not afraid of death, but he cannot ignore Dugu Yan, the only family member he cares about.
The thought that after his death, Dugu Yan would lose the protection of a Title Douluo, and that her enemies would surely harm her if they found out, made her life difficult.
If he were gone, those enemies who had once suppressed him would surely pounce on Dugu Yan like wolves.
Thinking of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his tightly clenched teeth loosened a little.
"I...I'll join the Spirit Hall!" Dugu Bo finally relented, his voice hoarse and helpless.
As soon as the words were spoken, the Soul-Devouring Spiders in the Sea of Spirit stopped devouring.
"Don't worry, if you stay with me, I will help you and your granddaughter cure the poison caused by your martial soul in the future," Lin Fan promised.
Another reason for taking in Dugu Bo was that Lin Fan needed to use his poison pills to cultivate the poison of his martial soul.
Suddenly, Lin Fan looked towards the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, because he sensed two summoning forces coming from the depths of the spring.
His body began to move uncontrollably toward the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
After standing there for more than ten minutes, Lin Fan said, "Could you two please leave first? I have something to do..."
Yue Guan and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat bewildered. But they both obediently went outside.
The former was wary because of the Pope's disciple and the unfathomable methods he had just displayed. The latter, on the other hand, was simply in the other party's hands, his life in their grasp.
"Tsk..." Lin Fan rubbed his throbbing head and shouted, "Water Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, I'm the only one here now, you can come out. Why did you send me this vision out of the blue?"
The vision's main content was as follows:
In very ancient times, the realm of gods was called the Dragon God Realm. The Dragon God planned to evolve the realm of gods into a Divine Star and give it to his child, and then reincarnate to find his wife.
Everything was going very smoothly at first, but unfortunately, it failed right from the start.
The laws of the universe do not wish for the emergence of Divine Stars, as this would accelerate the processes of multidimensional space, even speeding up the collapse of the universe and leading it to its premature demise.
Therefore, the Dragon King of Time and Space, one of the Ten Dragon Kings, was chosen to influence the Dragon God, and the Dragon Prince sacrificed his life for his father... (omitting 300 words)
The Dragon God's madness caused the newly formed God Star to collapse and degenerate into the God Realm. (The original work contradicts itself; it states at one point that it hadn't become a God Star, then later that it had, and then it collapsed.)
Then the Light Dragon King killed the Water Dragon King, and then committed suicide together with the Dark Dragon King.
Finally, the Asura God killed the Dragon God, splitting into the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King.
The influence of the cosmic will guided the arrival of spacetime turbulence, shattering the realm of gods.
The aura of the divine realm leaked out, especially after the mass death of divine beasts, their bloodline energy leaked out and fell onto a planet called Douluo Star.
This affected the creatures there.
Ordinary animals evolved, and humans evolved as well. This led to the emergence of spirit beasts and human spirit masters.
The remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King also fell onto the Douluo Continent, forming this very place.
