"Ke—ah!"
Facing the crushing pressure, Zygarde merely let out a sharp screech.
Aura Break activated.
The oppressive force was instantly shattered and reversed, suppressing Dugu Bo's aura instead.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, his expression growing even colder.
"Ah—!"
At that moment, Zygarde fixed Dugu Bo with its strange, snake-like pupils.
The next instant, it unleashed Glare!
Shua!
A phantom eye slowly emerged, like an abyssal gaze staring straight at Dugu Bo.
A flash of strange light appeared directly before his face!
"What?!"
Dugu Bo didn't even have time to react before a wave of numbness spread through his body.
Peculiar golden arcs of electricity flickered over him as his speed plummeted.
"Beast! You're courting death!"
A violent glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom!"
A spirit ring beneath his feet lit up as he spat out a torrent of dark-green poisonous mist. Wherever it passed, the air discolored and the ground corroded, hissing with white smoke.
This was his signature toxin—anyone below the level of a Titled Douluo would be injured on contact and die once poisoned!
Even other Titled Douluo wouldn't dare face it head-on.
Yet Zygarde showed no fear. It neither dodged nor retreated, directly activating Safeguard!
Just as the poisonous mist was about to engulf it—
A smooth, mirror-like light membrane appeared over Zygarde's body, completely enveloping it.
The torrent of poison slammed into Zygarde, but the lethal toxins had no effect whatsoever. Only the sheer impact caused negligible damage.
"My poison… it's useless?"
The rage on Dugu Bo's face froze.
"Zyga!"
Zygarde slowly stopped its dance, its aura surging to its peak.
Originally only at the level of a Spirit Emperor, it now far surpassed a Spirit Saint—no weaker than a Spirit Douluo powerhouse!
"Something's wrong!"
Dugu Bo frowned. The aura of this Spirit Beast was extremely abnormal!
At the same time, Bai Mu—who had already retreated far away through the underground tunnel—joined the fight via telepathy:
"Z2, use Thousand Arrows Volley!"
"Zyga—ah!"
Zygarde slammed its tail into the ground.
Boom—!
The earth split apart as hundreds of rock spikes burst upward, firing like a rain of arrows.
They blanketed every inch of space around Dugu Bo!
"Petty tricks!"
Dugu Bo sneered as his eighth spirit ring lit up.
"Eighth Spirit Ability: Time Stagnation!"
Strange ripples spread outward. Wherever they passed, even time itself froze.
The torrent of rock spikes halted midair.
With a casual wave of his hand, Dugu Bo unleashed a shockwave of green venom, instantly obliterating the suspended rock arrows.
But Zygarde's assault didn't stop.
"Frenzy Plant!"
Zygarde threw back its head and roared as brilliant light erupted from its white-and-green body.
Buzz—
Dugu Bo suddenly felt the ground beneath him tremble. Sensing danger, he immediately flew into the air.
Whoosh!
Countless ferocious, twisted, thorn-covered vines erupted from the earth.
The barren valley transformed instantly into a hellish forest of Frenzy Plants, all whipping toward Dugu Bo in the sky.
"Thousand Arrows Volley!"
Zygarde seized the moment and launched another barrage.
Frenzy Plants below. Rock arrows above.
The two formed an inescapable killing net, sealing off every possible escape route!
"What in the world is this?!"
Seeing two powerful attacks strike at once, Dugu Bo's expression finally changed.
His seventh spirit ring flared.
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Martial Soul True Body!"
His body expanded rapidly, transforming into a massive Jade Phosphor Serpent dozens of meters long.
Dark-green scales covered his body, vertical pupils gleamed coldly, and sharp fangs radiated an aura of absolute danger.
"Break!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent roared, lunging upward and swinging its colossal tail.
Whoosh—!
The rain of arrows was swept away instantly.
The tail then smashed downward into the Frenzy Plants.
Bang—!
Plants shattered apart—but in the next moment, they regenerated, with even more surging forward in relentless waves.
Before the serpent could recover, it spat out a wave of poison.
The plants withered and died on contact.
Yet drawing power from the unique terrain of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Frenzy Plants kept advancing without end!
Shua shua shua!
At the same time, Thousand Arrows Volley descended once again.
Arrows above. Plants below.
Anyone witnessing it would feel nothing but suffocation and despair.
"Jade Phosphor Divine Light—break!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent screeched as its ninth spirit ring blazed.
Countless green beams erupted from its body, blasting in all directions.
Boom!
The divine light wiped out both the Frenzy Plants and the rock arrows.
Shua!
The thickest beam sliced through the sky, blasting straight toward Zygarde at the center of the valley!
"Protect!"
Zygarde calmly raised an indestructible shield.
Bang!
The ground exploded—but the barrier remained unmoved.
"This… what kind of spirit ability is this?!"
Seeing his strongest attack blocked so easily, Dugu Bo's expression changed completely.
He no longer hesitated, treating Zygarde as a true equal.
Multiple spirit rings lit up as several toxic mists of different colors enveloped him, reinforcing his body and boosting his combat power by fifty percent.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent soared through the air, spewing an enormous wave of toxin.
Its range was terrifying.
But—
A flash of white light.
Zygarde vanished from the valley.
Whoosh!
A violent gust slammed into Dugu Bo's face.
Zygarde, having activated Extreme Speed, crashed into him with Take Down at lightning speed!
Dong!
The Jade Phosphor Serpent staggered. As it stabilized itself, it spat venom at Zygarde!
Crunch!
Zygarde ignored it completely, opening its jaws and biting down hard.
Crack! Bang!
Scales shattered. Blood splashed.
"Ah—!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent roared in pain as its eyes turned icy crimson, firing a Petrification Ray—
Medusa's Gaze!
The ray hit squarely.
Yet just like the venom, it was perfectly blocked by the Safeguard membrane!
"This Spirit Beast… what kind of monster is it?!"
The longer the fight dragged on, the more alarmed Dugu Bo became.
He knew Zygarde was extraordinary—but not to this extent.
Even his toxins and petrification were completely useless!
Driven into desperation, Dugu Bo resorted to the most direct and brutal method—pure melee combat.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent coiled around Zygarde, attacking with fangs, tail, and crushing strength capable of shattering mountains.
But—
It didn't work.
After a brief exchange, Dugu Bo realized in horror—
Not just speed.
Even in raw strength, his full-power self was inferior to Zygarde!
"No way… is my Zygarde really this strong?"
Even Bai Mu, watching from afar, was stunned.
A level 40 fighting a level 91—without disadvantage, even overpowering them in speed and strength?
This isn't right.
This really isn't right.
Bai Mu stared suspiciously at Little Soft.
Did you two… cheat behind my back?
