Based on the potency of the venom he was currently experiencing, the Dugu Family must have had ways to secretly poison Tianxin and Tianheng as well.
Could it be that all of this was orchestrated by the Dugu Family?
Yu Yuanzhen shuddered at the thought.
Dugu Feng remained silent.
He wouldn't utter an extra word before his opponent died.
Villains often met their end due to excessive talking, and he wouldn't speak unnecessarily just to show off.
Dugu Feng was extremely cautious. With the Overlord Venom and two Emerald Dragon Snakes, he had already accomplished everything he needed to do.
Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the outcome.
Yu Yuanzhen had descended into his final madness.
He prided himself on being the most cunning among the Upper Three Sects, constantly playing both sides between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall.
He had not only secured development resources but also allowed his clan to live in comfort.
His son, Yu Xiaogang, had even been in a relationship with the Pope and learned the secret of Bibi Dong's Twin Soul Spirits.
Yu Yuanzhen was quite pleased with himself.
After all, in terms of strength, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family couldn't compare to the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile.
But in terms of reputation within the Spirit Master World, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the number one Beast Martial Soul, and his son Yu Xiaogang was the Grandmaster of Martial Soul theory.
This was largely due to Yu Yuanzhen's meticulous planning.
With the emergence of two geniuses in the family, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, along with Liu Erlong, Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter,
the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had encountered an opportunity to rise.
In a few decades, if these three advanced to become Titled Douluo, the family would undoubtedly become the number one Beast Martial Soul clan in the world.
But in the end, after hunting geese all his life, he had been pecked by a goose.
He had actually been schemed against by the Dugu Family.
Yu Yuanzhen was filled with immense regret. He should have let the Spirit Hall exterminate the Dugu Family back then.
He shouldn't have helped the Dugu Family withstand the pressure from Gui Mei.
One misstep had led to everlasting regret!
"Was it you who stirred up the enmity between my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Clear Sky Sect?
Was it you who killed Tianheng and Tianxin!"
Yu Yuanzhen screamed like a madman.
Only boundless silence and darkness responded to him.
"Tianheng and Tianxin must have been killed by you. Your Dugu Family is so vicious, so ungrateful.
You will come to no good end!"
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded!
Yu Yuanzhen had self-destructed.
His internal organs had been completely corroded, and he was barely maintaining consciousness solely through the Soul Power of his Martial Soul.
Meanwhile, his Soul Power was continuously being absorbed by the Overlord Venom, on the verge of being completely depleted.
Seeing no hope of survival left, Yu Yuanzhen directly gathered all his Soul Power and detonated his entire body.
A cloud of blood mist erupted at the center of the battlefield.
Blue energy lingered like dark clouds, refusing to disperse for a long time.
After a considerable while, when everything had settled, Dugu Feng finally approached the center of the battlefield.
The force of the self-destruction had left no trace of Yu Yuanzhen's body.
A deep crater had been blasted into the ground.
The two Emerald Dragon Snakes swiftly rushed over.
When Yu Yuanzhen self-destructed earlier,
they had relied on their extreme speed to escape.
They hadn't sustained any serious injuries.
Now, they were both gazing in astonishment at the scene within the crater.
At the center of the crater, four unparalleled, surging auras continuously vibrated.
Dugu Feng reached out and summoned them.
First, the colorful light representing the Overlord Venom landed in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, the originally pigeon-egg-sized Overlord Venom had grown slightly larger.
During the process of poisoning Yu Yuanzhen to death, the Overlord Venom also absorbed his Soul Power and life force to evolve.
Dugu Feng quickly released five different types of toxic energies, and the Overlord Venom in his hand calmed down within moments.
Once again under Dugu Feng's control, the Overlord Venom transformed into a rainbow glow and vanished into his body.
Immediately after, Dugu Feng turned his attention to the three other auras.
These three auras carried an immense pressure that seemed to solidify the surrounding space.
They were none other than Yu Yuanzhen's three Soul Bones.
Even his self-destruction couldn't destroy these treasures.
Based on their shapes, it was clear these three Soul Bones were a right arm bone, a left leg bone, and a right leg bone.
Dugu Feng flashed into the crater, swiftly took out a lead box, placed the three Soul Bones inside, and stored them in his Storage Soul Tool.
After thoroughly sweeping the battlefield to erase all traces he had left behind, he hurriedly sped toward Heaven Dou City.
This was no place to inventory his gains.
The commotion from Yu Yuanzhen's self-destruction was massive and would surely attract nearby powerful experts to investigate.
Dugu Feng had left some clues for them.
He hadn't erased any traces related to Yu Yuanzhen's lightning.
He wanted people to know that Yu Yuanzhen had been killed.
And the great battle that had just occurred outside Heaven Dou City naturally needed to spread as well.
The ones who killed Yu Yuanzhen could only be the Clear Sky Sect.
The Clear Sky Sect would still have to bear this blame.
The Spirit Master World was about to become lively again.
While traveling, Dugu Feng suddenly felt the Overlord Venom in his lower Dantian release a surge of energy.
The moment this energy appeared,
it was absorbed by the Core Pearl.
"This is the energy the Overlord Venom absorbed from Yu Yuanzhen. After evolving, it only retained the pure venom and released all other life force!"
Dugu Feng instantly understood.
But the Core Pearl's speed was too fast.
Before he could even sense it, it had already absorbed everything!
He saw the energy within the Core Pearl, which had originally reached eighty-five points, rapidly increase.
Eighty-six!
Eighty-seven!
Ninety-four!
Ninety-five!
It only stopped at ninety-five.
It was nearly one hundred percent.
At most, in another year, the Core Pearl could evolve again, and by then he would have sixteen Core Pearls.
Dugu Feng recalled his initial aspirations.
Soul Duels?
No, first self-destruct a Core Pearl, survive, and then duel.
Each Core Pearl contained venom, Soul Power, and exceptionally vast energy.
Just like Dugu Bo's Core Pearl, it held half of his total strength.
If self-destructed, even an ordinary Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Suppressing his excitement, Dugu Feng quickly returned to Sunset Forest.
He silently made his way back to his training ground and sat down cross-legged.
With a wave of his right hand,
he opened the lead box containing the Soul Bones.
Intense treasure light illuminated the entire underground cave.
Dugu Feng's gaze immediately fixed on the right arm bone among the three Soul Bones.
This right arm bone was entirely cyan, emitting a gentle yet resilient cyan glow. Its energy fluctuations were actually no weaker than the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
The forearm and upper arm were clearly distinguishable, making it extremely complete.
"Such a complete Soul Bone... could this be a 100,000-Year Soul Bone?
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family actually possessed such a Soul Bone!"
Thinking this, Dugu Feng felt that Yu Yuanzhen had died unjustly.
If Yu Yuanzhen had fought any other Titled Douluo, he definitely could have taken one down with him before dying.
When the Spirit Hall besieged the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, four Titled Douluo were involved—two were severely injured, and one perished together with their opponent.
The losses were immense.
Yet he never engaged him in direct combat.
In the end, he exhausted Yu Yuanzhen using Overlord Venom.
Dugu Feng was grateful he had restrained himself from revealing the truth to Yu Yuanzhen before his death.
He let Yu Yuanzhen die an aggrieved and confused soul.
To the very end, Yu Yuanzhen never received confirmation from Dugu Feng about the true circumstances behind the deaths of Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
What a pitiful Yu Yuanzhen!
