"7th Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor - True Body!"
Dugu Bo jumped from the high ground and activated the True Body of his martial soul, transforming himself into a gigantic Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor with cunning glares.
Since Han Yuan has ordered Dugu Bo to partake in the last run, the Poison Douluo knows he has to go all out. Even then, Dugu Bo was careful of his approach because the enraged 100,000-year-old spirit beast who had ignited its blood was terrifying.
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin bathed in molten rocks as its cold eyes stared at Dugu Bo. The pangolin has transformed with more dragon-like features now.
"DIE!" The spirit beast roared at Dugu Bo, pouncing on him.
ROAR!
Dugu Bo skillfully steered his now-giant body and lashed the snake's tail at nearby peaks, sending them flying toward the spirit beast.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin charged through the peaks like they were nothing, creating a ravine with its steps.
Of course, when the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin broke past these hurdles, Dugu Bo wasn't in his original position anymore. The giant snake slithered away.
"Bye~!" Dugu Bo's playful taunts echoed in the mountain range.
ROAR!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin didn't care about the method and tore through every peak Dugu But led it to, creating a massive ravine over two miles away.
Many spirit beasts ran away, not wanting to be part of this run-and-chase play.
"If this spirit beast entered the Heaven Dou Empire, I can't imagine the casuality it could cause..." said Ye Xuelan upon watching one peak after another crushed by the mad pangolin.
Dugu Xin also wiped his cold sweats and added, "Yeah. We are lucky the spirit beast didn't use Blood Ignition earlier. Or else, I can't outrun it."
Liu Erlong glanced at Han Yuan and saw how calm he was, "What is the next step?"
Han Yuan stared at the sky and watched thunderclouds slowly gather due to the intense heat caused by their fights. He could feel the concentration of lightning energy in the atmosphere rising quickly.
When the lightning energy reached Han Yuan's desired level, he could use that move.
"What nice weather..." Han Yuan couldn't help but say.
"..." Liu Erlong.
"..." Dugu Xin.
"..." Ye Xuelan.
Which part of the weather is nice?
Why don't you point it out for us?
Han Yuan didn't bother to explain because that move required too many preparations to form a significant blow.
"Let's move. Senior Dugu won't last long against the full-blown attack of the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin." He said, to which Liu Erlong and two others responded with a nod.
Then, Han Yuan and others hurriedly moved to the last trap.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo felt the increasing pressure and killing intent on his back. Maintaining the Martial Soul's True Body consumed too much spirit energy, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Come on." Dugu Bo dodged an orange blast made of molten rocks and spirit energy, watching it melt through mountain peaks like nothing.
Swoosh~!
"Fuck-!" Dugu Bo couldn't dodge on time, and his giant serpentine body was 'naturally' hit by some melting boulders.
After getting hit by the melting boulders, Dugu Bo felt his world turned upside down as his serpentine body crashed onto a cliff.
BOOM!
Painful.
Very painful.
The feeling of getting your Martial Soul's True Body beaten to a pulp is much worse than one could imagine. After all, this state is when the twin coexistence, spirit master and martial soul, becomes one.
Dugu Bo groaned in pain, wiping the blood coming from the edge of his lips with his snake's tail. "What a ruthless beast..."
"However, you won't bring me down easily..."
Dugu Bo's serpentine body emitted emerald light as the snakeskin shed itself and was 'quickly' replaced with faint yet noticeable, more durable dragon scales.
It wasn't evolution. In fact, it's spirit skill from the spirit bone Han Yuan gave to Dugu Bo, Tyrant Dragon Transformation. This spirit skill allowed Dugu Bo to attain dragon-like traits for thirty minutes using the dragon essence stored in the spirit bone.
Of course, it doesn't mean using Tyrant Dragon Transformation wastes the dragon's essence because it will get absorbed into Dugu Bo's body.
Dugu Bo regained his mobility and used the head spirit bone's ability to petrify the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin.
"Medusa Gaze!"
BOOM!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin froze before tumbling down to the ground.
Dugu Bo activated his ninth spirit skill, "Ninth Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorus Divine Light!"
Swoosh!
Intense green light beamed the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's body and corroded the thick scales on its body with extreme poison, darkening and rotting it to the bones. The surrounding rocky areas also melted due to the intense green light.
Yes, this is Dugu Bo's killer move. He usually didn't dare to use this spirit skill because the effect was too terrifying.
However, he cares less about holding back against this 100,000-year-old spirit beast!
ROAR!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin set its body ablaze, creating a layer of protection against Dugu Bo's terrifying skill.
However, Dugu Bo expected this already and used his 8th spirit skill, which froze the time around the spirit beast.
"8th Spirit Skill: Time Freeze!"
Dugu Bo opened his serpentine's mouth and gathered a notable amount of spirit energy before compressing and spinning them in two directions, creating a green spiral.
Although the speed of the green spiral forming is slow, the Time Freeze buys enough time for Dugu Bo to finish this self-created technique that Han Yuan taught him.
"Giant Rasengan!"
Dugu Bo swung his head and sent the poison-infused Giant Rasengan to the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin.
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin finally shook the effect of time freeze but faced another threat immediately. Watching the incoming green spiral that rivaled its head in size, the spirit beast couldn't help but roar and create so many barriers made of molten rocks.
Unfortunately, the green spiral has a natural crushing effect against any defense. It weakened the green spiral slightly before hitting the giant pangolin's body.
A buzzing sound reverberated in the mountain range as the green spiral tore the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin inside out.
BUZZ~! BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The ground shook violently.
Dugu Bo smirked, "Take that..."
However, Dugu Bo's happiness was cut short.
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin took Dugu Bo's attack head-on with confidence. Even though its outer scales have corroded and suffered external and internal damage, the beast's eyes showed no sign of getting down.
Not to mention the Heavenly Restriction Dews in its body.
Yet, even with all that debuff, the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin stood high. Its body emitted a much more dangerous aura now.
RROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!
A shockwave hit Dugu Bo heavily as the 100,000-year-old spirit beast burned its last card, Flame of Life!
Every creature has a Flame of Life, signifying their vitality (life force) and aptitude, which can be used as fuel to get more power.
However, once the Flame of Life dies, so does the creature's life.
And the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin burned its Flame of Light decisively, leaving Dugu Bo speechless.
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's body generated its gravity field as it locked its gaze on Dugu Bo. "RRRWWWRR..."
"You can't even talk anymore." Dugu Bo sighed at how much they pushed this spirit beast down.
ROAR!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin rolled its body and spun like a saw blade, chasing Dugu Bo with extreme speed.
SWOOSH!
Ten mountain peaks sliced clean instantly.
"Here we go..." Dugu Bo ducked and ran to the last trap, where Han Yuan and others waited patiently.
Three minutes later.
Dugu Bo panted in his serpentine body and landed on the fragile ground made of molten rock, which was a cover for a deep valley between two mountains.
He waited for the raging spirit beast and laughed, "Come!"
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin strongly clawed two mountains and destroyed them with sheer strength.
Kacha! Boom!
Watching the two mountains gone, Dugu Bo smiled and canceled his True Body. He counted in his heart, 'One, two, three, four...'
As the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin slowly approached Dugu Bo with murderous eyes, the ground beneath it suddenly collapsed and revealed a deep valley.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, "Gotcha, bitch!"
ROOAARR!
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin roared angrily as it fell into an estuary mixed with a Cold Poison called Heavenly Cold Haze, which is incredibly volatile against anything with fire elements.
The spirit beast felt its body invaded with extreme cold, spurting blood left and right. "D-Despicable humans..."
Even then, the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin hasn't fallen yet.
The anger in its heart was too great. If "Too Angry to Die" was a creature, it would be the Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin.
Above, Ye Xuelan hurriedly healed Dugu Bo with her Nine Heart Begonia's healing skills.
"Ahem, what's next?" Dugu Bo coughed and asked with a hint of excitement.
Han Yuan looked down at the deep valley, "We finished it once for all..."
"Erlong, get your weapon ready."
Liu Erlong smacked her lips happily, "Hehe, I'm about to get a 100,000-year-old spirit ring~!"
"Guys..." Dugu Xin suddenly gained everyone's attention.
"What are those?"
He stared at the sky with horror on his face.
Everyone abruptly looked up and saw several meteorites falling from the sky, breaking the thunderclouds apart. Their calm expressions changed instantly.
The Dragon-Blooded Crimson Pangolin's eyes flashed with murder, "You are 100,000 years too early to kill me..."
"Face me wrath, HUMANS!"
"FACE MY WRATH..."
"DRACO METEOR!!!"
