A month and a half later, within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the violent poisons surged with soul power. Two figures embraced each other, their soul power rging together.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Erald Poison Emperor!"
A deep green light erupted, engulfing the two. As the beam of light gradually dissipated, a massive Erald Scorpion Emperor erged in its place. The scorpion waved its enormous pincers, its long tail swaying, and its body radiating waves of powerful soul energy.
Feeling the imnse power within, the erald-green scorpion let out a deafening roar.
After just two cries, Chen Ming froze awkwardly. Although his soul power was stronger than ever before, he still felt a little out of sorts.
"Wait... how does a scorpion even sound?" The massive Erald Scorpion turned its head to look at Dugu Bo, who was observing nearby, speaking with the voice of Dugu Yan.
"Scorpions... probably don't make any sound, right?" Dugu Bo scratched his head and awkwardly answered his granddaughter's question.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan's consciousness in the scorpion's body visibly fell, causing the originally raised tail to droop.
Over the past few months, Chen Ming had successfully tad the violent poisons in Dugu Yan's body. Not only did this eliminate the risk of her being hard by the backlash, but it also advanced her martial soul further.
After fully mastering their soul power, the synchronization between Dugu Yan and Chen Ming improved further. The martial soul fusion skill, which had seen little progress for a long ti, finally took its last step forward.
This was Chen Ming's first ti performing a martial soul fusion skill with Dugu Yan, and both were extrely excited.
Because the fusion process was led by Chen Ming and primarily centered on his martial soul, the fusion's appearance was essentially a magnified version of Chen Ming's martial soul. Only the tail section showed so characteristics belonging to Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent.
In this state, even Chen Ming could feel the imnse power, and a trace of excitent stirred in his heart. For Dugu Yan, who had never experienced such strength before, she was so thrilled she nearly lifted her tail to the heavens.
This brief distraction significantly dampened Dugu Yan's mood, counterbalancing her overexcitent.
The fused Erald Scorpion stood about seven ters in length, with a tail extending slightly over five ters. Each of its two massive pincers was about a ter and a half long, making its total length nearly fourteen ters—an enormous creature even among scorpions.
Its massive exoskeleton was engraved with intricate patterns, its colossal pincers glead with a purple hue, and its elongated tail swayed like a living entity, its tip hiding a dangerously sharp edge.
Observing the fused pair, Dugu Bo gave his evaluation.
"After the fusion, the soul power between the two of you has reached the level of a high-tier Soul King. With the effects of the martial soul fusion skill, you're already comparable to an average Soul Emperor."
"The power displayed after fusion isn't as simple as 1 1; it's a multiplicative enhancent."
"Even the Netherworld White Tiger, the royal inheritance of the Star Luo Empire, might not necessarily rival your fusion skill."
"However, personally speaking, there are far too few Jade Phosphor Serpent elents in your fusion form."
Dugu Bo, in high spirits, shook his head, expressing his disappointnt in his granddaughter.
Seeing Dugu Bo teasing her on purpose, Dugu Yan suddenly felt eager to act. In the state of martial soul fusion, her thoughts were instantly communicated to Chen Ming.
Spurred on by Dugu Yan, Chen Ming couldn't help but consider the possibility. "Grandpa, how about we spar to test it out?"
Chen Ming controlled the scorpion's massive body and issued a challenge to Dugu Bo.
"This is your first martial soul fusion—can you handle the energy consumption?" Dugu Bo, intrigued by the challenge, still showed so concern before agreeing.
"No problem, we're both in excellent condition!"
"Alright then."
As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, Dugu Yan controlled the scorpion's tail to strike at him.
Although the tail was initially only five ters long, it instantly extended several tis its original length during the attack. Coated with venom, the tail's sharp tip lunged fiercely toward Dugu Bo.
"Chen Ming, you're striking quite ruthlessly—not very like my precious granddaughter." Facing the sudden attack, Dugu Bo made a quip, but without even releasing his martial soul, he sidestepped the attack with ease.
In four and a half months, the poisons in Dugu Bo's body had been nearly neutralized. Though this detoxification process had taken a toll on him, it also granted him access to soul power and vitality he couldn't previously utilize.
Half a month ago, Dugu Bo had used this newfound strength to break through from level 93 to level 94.
Although most of his progress from level 91 to 94 had been achieved with the help of soul bones, and much of the remaining progress ca from absorbing poison attribute soul power, Dugu Bo's efforts accounted for only a small portion of the advancent.
Still, in the world of Douluo Dalu, this thod of cultivation was entirely acceptable.
After all, so individuals had advanced even more dramatically, relying almost entirely on spirit rings attached to a second martial soul to progress after reaching Titled Douluo. No one seed to question that.
At level 94, Dugu Bo's power was worlds apart from when he was at level 91. He could now handle two of his forr 91-level self with ease.
Currently, his skin was no longer wrinkled, and his hair had turned snow-white. At a glance, he truly looked like an immortal with an ethereal aura.
Although Chen Ming wanted to retort that the attack had been initiated by Dugu Yan, he knew he had to focus on the battle.
The Erald Scorpion's massive pincers, imbued with venomous soul power, moved with precision. Its legs scurried rapidly as its enormous body charged at Dugu Bo like a runaway truck, its colossal pincers slamming down rcilessly.
This powerful strike would intimidate even a typical Soul Sage, as the venomous soul power it carried could easily penetrate the defenses of 99% of soul masters.
However, as a level 94 Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo stood his ground. Without dodging, he calmly raised his arm, eting the massive pincer with his seemingly small hand.
"Boom!"
The collision between his hand and the pincer produced a dull sound. The ground beneath Dugu Bo cracked under the force, yet his posture remained firm. His hand, though tiny compared to the pincer, held it firmly in place.
"Up!" Dugu Bo shouted, his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul activating. With a surge of strength, he lifted the scorpion's massive pincer, forcing the Erald Scorpion to stumble backward several steps.
