Dimensional Journey Starting from Douluo Dalu

Martial souls are categorized into five tiers: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and divine-grade.

Originally, Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor could barely be considered a top-grade martial soul, while Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphor Serpent was merely high-grade at best.

Now, after absorbing an immortal herb and undergoing martial soul evolution, Dugu Yan's martial soul had transformed into the Twin-Headed Dragon King. Judging by its aura, it had already reached the very pinnacle of the top-grade level.

"Yan'er, this is your evolved martial soul? Judging by this aura, it must be one of the most powerful among top-grade martial souls," came a deep but energetic voice.

Dugu Yan turned to see her grandfather, smiling kindly at her.

Dugu Bo's appearance had changed dramatically. His once dark green hair had turned white. His eyes, previously like emeralds, had returned to a natural black. The usual foul stench that clung to him was completely gone.

All signs pointed to one thing: the poison that had plagued Dugu Bo for decades had been completely purged.

"Grandfather, looking at you now… you've successfully removed the backlash poison from your martial soul?" Dugu Yan asked excitedly.

"That's right," Dugu Bo replied with a smile. "The immortal herb the little monster found for me evolved my martial soul. Now it's become whole—a Jade Phosphor Nine-Headed Serpent Emperor. Though it hasn't become a dragon, it's now a complete martial soul, with proper poison sacs to store toxins.

Since the defect has been corrected, my body no longer needs to carry the burden of the poison. Naturally, the backlash has been resolved."

Seeing his granddaughter's excitement, Dugu Bo explained everything with joy.

"Yan'er, try sensing your martial soul. See exactly how it's changed."

Looking at the powerful Twin-Headed Dragon King before her, Dugu Bo sensed that there was still an enormous latent power within it. He prompted her softly.

Dugu Yan immediately focused her mind inward to sense her martial soul.

As the Twin-Headed Dragon King glowed faintly, a stream of information entered her mind.

Once she digested the information, her eyes lit up. Excited, she looked at Dugu Bo.

"Grandfather, it's just as Wu Tong predicted! After my martial soul evolved, the serpent poison fused completely with the Poison Dragon King essence. There's no longer any danger of backlash. And that's not all…"

She paused, then activated her soul power.

A circular field of pressure suddenly expanded outward, enveloping a radius of nearly five hundred meters.

The moment it appeared, Dugu Bo felt a wave of oppressive force strike him. Along with it came a chillingly familiar sensation—an invasive poison that immediately weakened his condition.

"This is... a domain?" Dugu Bo stared at the circle of pressure, utterly stunned.

"That's right. After my martial soul evolved into the Twin-Headed Dragon King, I awakened a domain—Dragon Might Domain. It combines the suppression force of the Earth Dragon Head with the toxic assault of the Poison Dragon Head."

Dugu Yan spoke proudly, like she was showing off.

Dugu Bo responded generously, "As expected of a top-tier martial soul. Not only did you gain an innate domain, but it has a dual effect—and it even works on me. This has to be one of the best domains among top-grade martial souls."

As Dugu Bo spoke, Dugu Yan initiated martial soul possession.

"I'm not done yet, Grandpa. Martial Soul Possession!"

With her command, the Twin-Headed Dragon King behind her transformed into a black beam and entered her body.

Her form changed instantly.

A tight-fitting suit of black dragon-scale armor appeared, perfectly outlining her figure. The black armor added an air of majesty and mystery, giving her the appearance of a divine warrior maiden.

The two dragon heads of her martial soul emerged from her shoulder blades, facing Dugu Bo. They looked sentient, both snarling fiercely at him as though ready to attack.

Her exposed arms began to shimmer as dragon scales gradually spread across them. Her hands transformed into dragon claws—each gleaming with a metallic sheen. As they flexed, the surrounding air shimmered as though space itself might tear apart.

"Grandfather, be careful. First Soul Skill—Dragon Breath!"

With that, Dugu Yan charged forward.

Enhanced by the Twin-Headed Dragon King, her physical attributes had skyrocketed. She became a black streak of light and arrived before Dugu Bo in an instant.

The two dragon heads behind her opened their mouths simultaneously. The left head began gathering green energy—Dugu Bo immediately recognized it.

It was the same poison energy he himself had once relied on.

From the right dragon head's mouth, yellow energy condensed and radiated a suppressive force. Within this energy, Dugu Bo sensed an ominous feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

'I must not get hit by that one.'

With that thought, Dugu Bo shifted his footing and turned his body to the side. In the next moment, two beams of energy narrowly missed him and shot into the distant forest.

The trees struck by the green beam immediately began to emit green toxic mist upon contact. Within seconds, they were corroded through, leaving large holes.

The trees hit by the yellow beam gradually turned into stone. In just a few seconds, the entire tree had been petrified—transformed into a lifelike sculpture of stone, both vivid and exquisite.

But neither of them had the time or mood to admire it. They continued their battle.

Though called a battle, it was more like Dugu Bo indulging Dugu Yan's play. To him, every one of Dugu Yan's attacks was full of openings. He didn't even release his martial soul—just dodged all her strikes through simple movement.

"I'm done, Grandpa."

After a while, either due to exhaustion or running out of soul power, Dugu Yan released her martial soul. The Twin-Headed Dragon King turned into black light and merged back into her body.

Wearing her tight light green outfit, Dugu Yan reappeared before Dugu Bo and spoke.

"Yan'er, you've done very well already. You're just at level forty, barely a Soul Ancestor, and yet even an ordinary Soul Emperor wouldn't be your match," Dugu Bo encouraged her as he looked at her panting form.

After all, Dugu Yan was still only a Soul Ancestor, and not even one with a fourth ring. The fact that she could overwhelm a Soul Emperor with just her soul skills was already incredibly impressive.

Dugu Yan wasn't discouraged. She understood the power of a Title Douluo. If Dugu Bo truly wanted to suppress her, his presence alone could suffocate her.

After catching her breath, Dugu Yan looked around at the devastated surroundings—signs of corrosion and petrification everywhere. She was shocked.

"I did all this? My attack power is that strong now?"

Her original Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul lacked the potent venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, which was why she had chosen the control path, using poison to restrain enemies.

But as the saying goes, every mage has the heart of a warrior. Dugu Yan was no exception.

Dugu Bo, too, looked at the destruction around them with lingering fear. He wasn't worried about the poisonous dragon breath, but if he were struck by the petrifying breath, he'd be left completely vulnerable.

He could tell that Dugu Yan's petrification breath was a rule-based skill. Even a Title Douluo like him could be controlled for a few seconds.

And in those few seconds, with her speed after martial soul possession, Dugu Yan could land more than a dozen attacks.
