Tang San looked at the bottles contained within the box, his heart already brimming with confidence regarding the completion of the Hell Road.
As for what Bibi Dong had given to Huliena, it was nothing particularly extraordinary—just a bottle of Death Spider Emperor Origin Poison, a bottle of potent Soul Dissipation Pill, and a few other rare poisons with various uses.
The items were not especially precious, but Tang San was a member of the Tang Sect, and he was fond of these little trinkets.
The others were negligible and of little use in the current situation; the main focus was the Death Spider Emperor Origin Poison. With this item in hand, regardless of whether it was the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King or any other enemies blocking their path later, as long as they were struck, even a toxic Soul Beast as difficult to kill as the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King would surely be tortured into agony, allowing them to escape to safety naturally.
The subsequent events were simple. Faced with Tang San's proficient Tang Sect poisoning techniques, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King and the later Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, both massive beasts, were struck one after another. Tortured beyond measure by the Death Spider Emperor Origin Poison from Bibi Dong, they thrashed about in the sea of blood, having no spare energy to specifically target the two small fries, Tang San and Huliena.
Afterward, the two used Tang San's Spirit Bone flight ability to bypass the "obstacles" directly, escaping to safety and successfully obtaining the greatest trophy of their journey: the Slaughter God's Domain.
Outside the Slaughter City, once Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan found Huliena, who had successfully broken out of the Hell Road, he immediately took her and left. As for Tang San, he had already vanished without a trace.
One week after Tang San walked out of the Slaughter City.
Outside Heaven Dou City, in the Sunset Forest, just outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Valley.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth with a very handsome appearance, a scholarly temperament, and a gentle gaze—looking just like an ordinary person without any powerful aura—smiled at the old man standing opposite him, who still appeared somewhat dazed.
"Congratulations, Grandfather, on breaking through to level ninety!"
Hearing the youth's congratulations, the old man snapped out of his daze, his expression filled with excitement as he let out a loud laugh.
"Hahahaha—"
"I never expected that I, Yang Wudi, would also have a day where I break through to become a Title Douluo!!"
This grandfather and grandson were none other than Yang Wudi and Yun Ming.
Over the past five years, Yang Wudi had finally succeeded in condensing his Soul Core and breaking through to level ninety. Once he hunted his ninth Spirit Ring, he would truly become a Title Douluo. As for Yun Ming, he had spent the last two years traveling across the continent with Ya Li, and he had specifically returned early after receiving news that Yang Wudi was about to break through.
Looking at Yun Ming before him, Yang Wudi said with some emotion.
"Ming Er, Grandfather must thank you. If not for you, I fear I would never have had the chance to touch the realm of a Title Douluo in this lifetime!"
Before Yun Ming began traveling the continent a few years ago, Yang Wudi had already broken through to become a Spirit Douluo, but he had been unable to make any further progress until he obtained the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb. Yang Wudi saw it clearly; if nothing unexpected happened, he figured his cultivation would remain at the Spirit Douluo level for the rest of his life.
Yet, he never expected that the "unexpected" would arrive so quickly. Not long after Yun Ming began traveling the continent, he obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He acquired the Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, and his Soul Power began to improve significantly. As he neared the breakthrough, Yun Ming passed on the Soul Core Method to him. The path to becoming a Title Douluo had been so incredibly smooth—Yun Ming had essentially arranged everything for him, which was something he could never have imagined.
Looking at Yang Wudi with eyes full of pride and affection, Yun Ming smiled.
"Grandfather, you are too modest; this is what I should have done."
"Moreover, your limit will not just be a Spirit Douluo! Beyond your current Title Douluo status, there are Super Douluo and Limit Douluo realms; you will reach these in the future."
Hearing Yun Ming's words, although Yang Wudi felt the possibility was low, he still smiled.
"Good! In this life, I shall also try to see if I can climb to the higher peaks of those Soul Masters."
Yun Ming noticed Yang Wudi's lack of confidence, but he said nothing. As long as his plans succeeded, even if Yang Wudi's talent was insufficient, he could forcibly elevate him. As for now, it was better to resolve the immediate priority! Yun Ming spoke up.
"Grandfather, prepare yourself! We will depart tomorrow morning to hunt for your Spirit Ring."
"I have already chosen your ninth Spirit Ring for you."
Yang Wudi nodded in agreement and expressed his anticipation.
The next day, early morning.
Yun Ming, Yang Wudi, Dugu Bo, and Gu Rong gathered at the Breaking Clan's stronghold in Heaven Dou City. This target was a bit troublesome, so Yun Ming brought two extra people to make things simpler.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yun Ming gave a signal.
"We are departing; everyone, please do not resist."
Then, he stepped down, and a gorgeous, mysterious silver light array appeared, enveloping the four of them. Three seconds later, they vanished from the spot, leaving no trace behind.
As the silver light dissipated, everyone opened their eyes and saw the scene and location before them. Dugu Bo looked at the familiar place and asked in surprise.
"We're here already?"
He knew Yun Ming could teleport over long distances; after all, during the previous battle with the Clear Sky Sect, Yun Ming had teleported back to Heaven Dou City. However, he had needed other items to assist him back then, and the consumption had been significant. Now, only three years later, could Yun Ming so easily teleport the four of them over a thousand miles? Just what level had Yun Ming's cultivation reached in these three years!
Looking at the lush, verdant, and vast forest before him, and sensing the increasingly vibrant vitality the deeper they went, Yun Ming confirmed they were in the right place and replied.
"Yes! We have arrived."
Gu Rong sensed the surroundings and found no spatial markers, which surprised him even more. As someone who also possessed Space Element abilities, Gu Rong knew exactly how difficult this effortless "Anchorless Teleport" of Yun Ming's truly was. If it were just the distance from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to Heaven Dou City, he could do it too, but a distance of over a thousand miles was beyond his capabilities. Thinking of this, Gu Rong sighed in admiration.
"Little Friend Yun has truly attained a divine level of mastery!"
After two years of practicing with the Soul Core, Yun Ming's abilities in all aspects had skyrocketed compared to two years ago.
The Divine Origin Realm, the Artifact-level Martial Soul, the dual soul cores, and other such extraordinary powers began to manifest their inherent strength as his cultivation rose. The ability Yun Ming had just used was a unified application combining multiple powers.
Hearing Gu Rong's sudden praise, Yun Ming smiled. After returning a polite remark, he turned back to their main topic.
"Two seniors, and Grandfather, our target this time is..."
After Yang Wudi and the two Douluo, Poison and Bone, heard the target they were to deal with, their eyes lit up, and their hearts burned with excitement. The two Douluo were somewhat envious of Yang Wudi's good fortune; they wished they had such a grandson too. Yang Wudi also said excitedly.
"This is truly perfect."
"Let's go, let's depart immediately."
Following this, the impatient Yang Wudi dashed into the forest. Yun Ming and the other two hurriedly followed.
However, what Yun Ming did not know was that on the other side, two of his acquaintances had also arrived at this location.
