Chapter 139: Zhen Long Chui

Roar.

Du Gu Bo leapt out from the Ice and Fire Dual-Aspect Eye, his face flushed with intense excitement.

The Soul Power Level had stagnated for years, but now it rose continuously, reaching the astonishing Soul Power Level 94.

Two Immortal Herbs paired with the Ice and Fire Dual-Aspect Eye, the interweaving of extreme cold and extreme heat forged them; the poison skill advanced further, not only curing all years of hidden hazards, but also causing a delightful transformation of the martial soul tier, even the soul bone underwent a qualitative change.

"Du Gu Bo, lend him a helping hand."

Yang Wudi's hurried voice caught Du Gu Bo's attention.

The Purple Thunder Hammer Spirit was in a collapsing state; its excessively strong Thunder and Lightning Attribute exceeded the Purple Thunder Hammer Spirit's endurance limit.

But breaking the martial soul's limit is the only way to transform to a higher tier.

Du Gu Bo is a title Douluo, having refined the Bi Lin Snake Spirit to the Bi Lin Snake Emperor; his experience in martial soul cultivation far surpasses Yang Wudi's.

"Stop, this step can only be taken by him himself; if we intervene, even if the martial soul stabilizes, it will still be the Purple Thunder Hammer Spirit, but if we can bypass this step, it can advance into a truly top-tier martial soul," Du Gu Bo said, laying it bare.

Yang Wudi glanced at Tie Li with unease, then slowly withdrew his own soul power.

Deprived of Yang Wudi's soul power, the ferocious Lightning Light raged again.

Amid this terrifying Lightning Light, the Purple Thunder Hammer Spirit faded bit by bit, and even Tie Li's aura became considerably more ethereal.

Yet the three of them did not retreat, needing to constantly watch the splashing Lightning Light to avoid damaging the precious natural treasures here.

Especially Du Gu Bo, after witnessing the divine effect of the Immortal Herb, had already classified it among his treasured items.

But earlier he had promised to give the Immortal Herb to Yang Wudi; Du Gu Bo has always honored his promises, so he would never betray that.

Moreover, he owes Yang Wudi such a great favor.

Yang Wudi did not notice Du Gu Bo's change of expression; his focus remained on Tie Li within the Lightning Light.

He was ready to strike at any moment; Tie Li's martial soul might shatter, but his life must be saved.

Tie Li at this moment endured unimaginable pain; the shattering of the martial soul involved both body and spirit layers.

The most unexpected thing for Tie Li was that the Thunder Python Inner Core he once thought intact had broken, releasing Thunder and Lightning Attribute like a tide, triggering a chain reaction with his own Thunder and Lightning Attribute.

This massive upheaval exceeded Tie Li's comprehension; now Tie Li could only persist through sheer will.

Fortunately he had taken the miraculous mushroom chrysanthemum, whose yin‑yang harmonizing effect boosted his bodily strength.

"Miraculous mushroom reaching heaven, Diamond Indestructible Body"—the saying truly lives up to its reputation.

The raging Thunder and Lightning also served as a forge for his physique, helping Tie Li fully refine the miraculous mushroom chrysanthemum, forging a genuine Diamond Indestructible Body.

The Purple Thunder Hammer Spirit fragmented and vanished piece by piece, spreading to the hammer handle; three sigils emitted an unparalleled aura, and because of that aura, the raging Thunder and Lightning instantly calmed.

The Lightning Light contracted and coalesced, a thread of pressure from a top-tier martial soul emerged from the Lightning Light.

Du Gu Bo was the first to sense this thread; this pressure, unique to top-tier martial souls, he would never mistake.

"Did it succeed?"

A moment ago it had been on the brink of collapse, ready to fade into void; to Du Gu Bo, that was inconceivable.

The sublimation of a martial soul proceeds gradually, never instant, but Tie Li's situation clearly belonged to the latter.

It resembled an indescribable mighty presence, reshaping a shattered martial soul and granting it rebirth.

Yang Wudi felt the newly reappearing aura within the Lightning Light, his expression relaxed considerably.

The toughest period had passed; now came the waiting phase.

Relaxed, Yang Wudi couldn't help chatting idly with Du Gu Bo.

"Your current poison skill, across the world, will be hard for anyone to counter; even title Douluos above Soul Power Level 95 must fear your poison skill."

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo felt deeply moved; his green hair had already reverted to black, his poison skill became restrained.

Previously plagued by poison skill, his soul power had stagnated; now, with continuous Soul Power Level gains, he even glimpses signs of approaching Soul Power Level 95, perhaps soon he can raise his Soul Power Level to 95.

Hatred flashed in Du Gu Bo's eyes; when he reaches Soul Power Level 95 and further refines his poison skill, he will surely seek revenge on him.

"Yang Clan Leader, thank you this time, but I would like to ask a favor."

"For your descendants?" Yang Wudi replied.

Having witnessed the Immortal Herb's marvel, Du Gu Bo naturally wants to obtain one for his granddaughter.

But having promised Yang Wudi earlier, to take another now he must obtain his consent.

Moreover, Du Gu Bo cannot discern the Immortal Herb's properties; random picking might endanger Du Gu Yan.

"Yes, consider this a debt I owe you; if you need my help, I will certainly give my all."

Now Du Gu Bo is a different man, and his ties with the Tian Dou Imperial House are deep; his ability to make such a promise shows its weight.

"Alright!" Yang Wudi thought briefly, then had a plan.

He specially selected a milder Immortal Herb, carefully placed it in a jade vessel and handed it to Du Gu Bo.

"Thank you!"

"But don't rush to give it to your descendants yet; extract a drop of its essence, neutralize the toxin, then consume the Immortal Herb; the effect will be greater."

"Alright."

Yang Wudi, taking this opportunity, took several Immortal Herbs; around there were many Ten-thousand-year Spirit Herbs, but he only took the portion he needed.

Especially the You Xiang Qi Luo Immortal Herb was the one Yang Wudi most desired.

As the surrounding Thunder and Lightning gradually steadied, the aura from the top-tier martial soul began to surface.

"It's actually the Zhen Long Chui Spirit," Yang Wudi narrowed his eyes; among the successive heads of Fenglei Sect, three heads possessed the Zhen Long Chui Spirit, all having advanced their cultivation to the title Douluo level.

"Zhen Long Chui, legend says its hammer body seals a Yin Lei Demon Dragon King; it is a top-tier strong‑attack martial soul, its Thunder and Lightning Attribute approaches Ultimate Lightning," Du Gu Bo's gaze at Tie Li changed.

If he can cultivate to a soul douluo, he will have the strength to rebuild Fenglei Sect.

The hammer body displayed a heavy black mass, uneven hexagons exuding a strong sense of power; the handle stretched over a meter, and the sigil at the tip of the handle remained unchanged, as if it had always been part of the martial soul itself.

Opening both eyes, Tie Li could clearly feel his own transformation, but the most striking impression was the power surging from the sigil; just a thread of it could enable his metamorphosis into a top-tier martial soul.

That irresistible force surpassed Tie Li's understanding.

My Soul Power Level is currently stuck at Soul Power Level 50; after absorbing the Fifth Soul Ring, it should return to a normal Soul Power Level.

Through this terrifying Lightning Light tempering, Ice Fire Tempering Body, and also refining the celestial‑quality strange mushroom Sky‑piercing Chrysanthemum, Tie Li's physique far exceeds the normal limits of a Soul King.
