Yu Yuanzhen was currently in deep cultivation.
He was indeed quite severely injured.
Primarily due to the backlash from Tang Hao.
"What a formidable Great Sumeru Hammer, truly worthy of being called the Clear Sky Sect's strongest divine technique!"
As a fellow member of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Yuanzhen was quite familiar with the Clear Sky Sect.
Naturally, he understood that what Tang Hao had executed was the ultimate secret of Ring Detonation—the Great Sumeru Hammer.
"Haotian Douluo will now be the Waste Douluo. Crippling Tang Hao makes this trip worthwhile!"
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath and continuously cultivated his Soul Power to recover from his injuries.
He could feel his internal injuries gradually improving.
Yu Yuanzhen felt much more at ease. His body was robust, and his vitality was vigorous.
Although his injuries were severe, his recovery was rapid.
With just over a month of cultivation, he would fully recover.
"Huh? What's that movement?"
A faint sound of air disturbance came from several hundred meters away.
Yu Yuanzhen focused his perception in that direction.
He saw a small emerald-green snake slithering closer.
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
How dare an ordinary snake approach him?
But instantly, he sensed something was wrong. His Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, exerted a bloodline suppression on snakes.
Moreover, he had just been cultivating.
The aura of his Martial Soul was radiating around him.
How could this snake not fear him?
Yet upon closer inspection, it indeed appeared to be an ordinary snake.
But the next moment, he changed his mind.
The snake's body turned transparent and suddenly leaped up like a phantom.
Yu Yuanzhen was greatly startled.
"This is the black shadow that kidnapped Tang San!"
During his battle with Tang Hao, someone had taken advantage of the situation from the shadows.
The scene of Tang San being kidnapped was still fresh in his memory.
Yu Yuanzhen immediately stood up.
Without hesitation, he unleashed Lightning Arrows, shooting them explosively toward the snake.
But the Emerald Dragon Snake's concealment ability was exceptional. With careful planning against an unprepared opponent, it had already closed in on Yu Yuanzhen before he could react.
This completely captured Yu Yuanzhen's attention.
"Daring to attack me? You're seeking death!"
Dense lightning surged out, enveloping Yu Yuanzhen's entire body.
His first thought was defense—this phantom was too fast.
And could there be other attacks from the surroundings?
Yu Yuanzhen was highly experienced. At the start of any battle, he would first saturate the area with lightning.
Ensuring he remained invincible.
"Zizi!"
A faint sizzling sound continuously echoed as the Emerald Dragon Snake spewed thick purple mist.
Lightning and purple mist collided.
"Is this the Nine-Section Jadeite? It must have at least forty thousand years of strength!" Yu Yuanzhen was astonished.
He didn't know that the Nine-Section Jadeite had evolved into an Emerald Dragon Snake.
In reality, its age was less than thirty thousand years.
But the skills mastered by the Emerald Dragon Snake made its strength comparable to an ordinary forty-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Forty thousand years of strength was still within his ability to handle.
Now that he had confirmed the opponent's strength.
Yu Yuanzhen prepared to unleash a furious assault to directly kill this Emerald Dragon Snake.
"Thunder Fury!"
Yu Yuanzhen roared, activating his Third Soul Skill—a boosting ability.
His Soul Power increased by fifty percent, and his Lightning Power doubled.
The surrounding Lightning Arrows transformed into numerous Thunder Dragons.
A blue Lei Yun formed in the sky, maximizing his lightning attack power.
This was an indiscriminate assault.
The entire area within several hundred meters became a zone of lightning attacks.
Yu Yuanzhen remained highly vigilant.
He feared that aside from this Spirit Beast, there might be other enemies.
Otherwise, why would a Spirit Beast chase them all the way from Sunset Forest to here?
Thus, he unleashed a wide-range attack.
But the Emerald Dragon Snake's speed still captured most of Yu Yuanzhen's attention.
Preventing him from fully focusing on his surroundings.
Behind Yu Yuanzhen.
Another Emerald Dragon Snake, carrying Dugu Feng, glided close to the ground.
Utterly silent and undetectable by spiritual sense.
Only the radiance of the Overlord Venom could be seen with the naked eye.
It wasn't until Dugu Feng was less than a hundred meters away from Yu Yuanzhen.
That Yu Yuanzhen noticed a change in the surrounding light.
He instantly turned his head.
Greeted by a rainbow-colored glow the size of a pigeon egg.
At the same time, he also saw the appearance of the newcomer.
"Dugu Feng!"
The genius of the Dugu Family, Yu Yuanzhen naturally recognized him.
After the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, during the first resolution of the six powers in the Great Soul Arena, Dugu Shuo had contacted him to secretly protect the convoy.
At that time, the Dugu Family eliminated the Elephant Armor Sect, the traitors, for him, and he shielded the Dugu Family from Ghost Douluo.
Both sides had cooperated once.
That was when he had seen Dugu Feng.
He never would have imagined that the one attacking him was actually Dugu Feng.
"You brat who hasn't even grown all your feathers, stop playing tricks! Where are Dugu Shuo and Dugu Bo?"
Yu Yuanzhen finally confirmed the enemy.
Though shocked, he actually felt relieved.
Whether it was Dugu Bo or Dugu Shuo, his Lightning Power countered their poison.
He wanted to show them the power of the dragon.
While speaking, Yu Yuanzhen didn't hold back.
Wild lightning blasted toward the rainbow-colored pigeon egg in front of him.
Struck by the lightning.
The Overlord Venom rapidly dispersed.
Completely transforming into a rainbow glow.
Causing Yu Yuanzhen's attack to miss.
"Clan Leader Yu, farewell!" Dugu Feng waved his hand.
The Emerald Dragon Snake beneath his feet swiftly retreated.
Leaving only Yu Yuanzhen bathed in the rainbow light.
The Overlord Venom had already been deployed; now it was just a matter of waiting for Yu Yuanzhen to succumb to the poison.
From Dugu Feng's actions, Yu Yuanzhen sensed intense malice.
And the confidence that he had him completely in the bag.
He instantly flew into a rage.
The Lightning Power grew even more violent, countless bolts of lightning striking down from the thunderclouds.
Erupting continuously around him.
But surprisingly, the rainbow light seemed completely unaffected by the attacks.
Then Yu Yuanzhen felt his Soul Power rapidly draining away.
He instantly recalled Dugu Shuo's method of dealing with Huyan Zhen.
Back then, Huyan Zhen had been poisoned without even realizing it.
Had he been poisoned as well?
"Martial Soul Avatar!"
Yu Yuanzhen's seventh Spirit Ring flashed brightly, an instinctive reaction when facing danger.
Activating the Martial Soul Avatar could double the power of his Soul Skills.
But the result was that Yu Yuanzhen's entire body began to dragonize, his two arms transforming into dragon claws.
Yet the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon did not appear.
He had only reached the stage of Martial Soul Avatar.
After using the Martial Soul Avatar, it took seven days to recover.
How could he possibly activate it again now?
A chill ran down Yu Yuanzhen's spine.
The Dugu Family was too treacherous.
From this perspective, not only had they profited from the conflict between Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
Now they were targeting him as well.
They had clearly seized the opportunity when he was injured and had already used his Martial Soul Avatar.
But the draining of his Soul Power and the intense pain left no room for further thought.
The Overlord Venom was taking effect.
And the potency of the toxin was intensifying.
What exactly is this rainbow-colored poison?
Yu Yuanzhen immediately summoned the Lightning Power into his body.
Electric sparks flickered all over his form.
Like being struck by lightning, he intended to purge the toxins that had entered his system.
"Dugu Family, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
Yu Yuanzhen thought with intense hatred.
