Dugu Bo was different from Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan was weak in strength; even now, she was only at the Soul Emperor level and couldn't even materialize her spiritual power.

Therefore, when Wang Li released the power of life, awakening her vitality and activating her bodily functions, she could only passively allow her bodily functions to suppress the poison.

However, Dugu Bo was different. As a Titled Douluo, his spiritual power could materialize into a Phosphor Snake Emperor, and with his immense spiritual power and terrifying will, upon sensing the revival of his vitality and the activation of his bodily functions, he made the most accurate judgment to actively guide this life force and expel the poison within his body.

He was extremely familiar with the Phosphor Snake's poison. It was his weapon of choice for killing enemies, but also the source of his suffering.

Over the years, the poison had spread throughout his body—into his organs, limbs, and bones. Now, it began to gradually peel away from his internal organs and limbs, slowly separating from his body. Under the intense suppression of the life force, it eventually returned to where it belonged.

Because the poison had deeply rooted itself, the process was slow, but with the replenishment of Wang Li's life force, Dugu Bo didn't fear the consumption of his vitality.

On the outside, white smoke was rising from Dugu Bo's body, but his expression was calm, his complexion rosy, no longer carrying the dark and ominous air he once had.

Dugu Bo's negative state was not just from the poisoning, but also the weakness and gradual aging caused by the poison.

Under the supplementation of Wang Li's life force, the poison returned to the Phosphor Snake Emperor Martial Soul, and his body, after decades of poisoning, seemed to revive. All the damage was repaired, his wrinkles gradually disappeared, and his white hair turned black again. He now looked rejuvenated, like a man in his thirties or forties, no longer the frail old man in his seventies or eighties.

This was not an extension of his life. Once his natural lifespan expired, Wang Li would have no way to intervene.

However, before that time came, Wang Li could keep him at his peak state, with death, poison, weakness, and aging all set aside—this was the ultimate expression of life force.

Previously, Wang Li lacked the soul power to fully unleash this soul skill's effect, but now, with the energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, he had a deeper understanding of the "Revival" soul skill.

Such tenacious vitality meant that it would be difficult for Wang Li to die in the future—of course, provided he had enough soul power and wasn't obliterated by a single strike.

Soon, a day and night had passed.

Wang Li stopped, letting out a long sigh. He now felt as though his body was falling apart. Helping a Titled Douluo suppress the poison was not something a Soul Zong could handle.

It was only with the support of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye's energy that he had managed to do it, but being the intermediary wasn't easy.

Extracting energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, filtering the fire poison and ice poison, and converting it into life force with pure soul power was exhausting, especially since the Titled Douluo's body was like an endless pit. Wang Li had almost run out of energy just maintaining the process.

The downside was that his body and recovery abilities were being severely tested.

The upside was that he had made a breakthrough—reaching the 42nd level of soul power and was nearing level 43.

Moreover, his meridians had expanded several times, and some special meridians had been opened, greatly improving both his physical condition and soul power circulation.

At this moment, Wang Li moved his thoughts and recalled his Martial Soul. All the Blue Silver Grass vines retracted.

Looking at his Martial Soul, Wang Li couldn't help but feel a strange, undefined aura of overwhelming power emanating from it. Had it absorbed too much energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye?

He thought this was likely the case. He looked closely at the vivid red and blue intertwined threads within his Martial Soul. He couldn't help but feel a chill.

He didn't know how terrifying the fire and ice poison would be if he fully activated it now.

After all, he had absorbed the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for a full day and night. All the fire and ice poison had been retained in his Martial Soul.

Wang Li couldn't help but think:

"Now that I have four soul skills—Control, Healing, Powerful Attack, and Absorption—there are almost no weaknesses. If I add the fire and ice poison, I could even challenge an ordinary Soul Saint. For those below Soul Saint, such as Soul Kings or Soul Emperors, without a Martial Soul's true body, they might not even survive the poison's effects!"

After recalling his Martial Soul, Wang Li once again looked at Dugu Bo. Now, Dugu Bo appeared to be in his middle age, his eyes closed, exuding an imposing presence without anger.

Wang Li clearly knew that the poison within Dugu Bo had already been suppressed. He had not woken up yet, which likely meant his strength had greatly increased.

Since Dugu Bo's breakthrough to Soul Power level 90, when he absorbed his ninth spirit ring and became a Titled Douluo, his strength had not progressed further.

It was very likely that his cultivated soul power had been completely consumed by the poison, which then backfired, eroding his body.

Now, this poison had been suppressed back into his Martial Soul. This poison accumulation spanned nearly ten years. Once Dugu Bo completely refined it, when he woke up, his soul power could very well reach level 92, or even 93.

This was not impossible. After all, Tang San only helped Dugu Bo expel the poison, and in a short period, Dugu Bo had broken through to level 92 in soul power.

Now, Wang Li had spared no effort, helping Dugu Bo suppress all the toxins back into his Martial Soul. He also replenished the weakness, damage, and deficits caused by the poison, allowing Dugu Bo's body to return to its peak condition. In other words, Dugu Bo still had the potential for significant progress in his soul power cultivation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Bo had the chance to make a huge breakthrough, using the accumulated strength of the past ten years.

Having not lingered, Wang Li slowly walked towards the valley's exit, not using any soul power. He was truly exhausted now.

Upon reaching the valley's entrance, Wang Li's appearance startled Dugu Yan, who had been meditating. Seeing Wang Li so weary, she was alarmed and hurried over to support him.

"Xiao Li, what happened?" she asked.

Wang Li looked at Dugu Yan, offering a light smile before replying, "Yan Yan Jie, Grandpa should be fine now. Let him rest for a while. I'm a bit tired; I'll take a nap..."

Dugu Yan felt a pang of heartache, carefully helping Wang Li sit down to the side. Wang Li wasn't joking. He closed his eyes, too tired to open them again.

As for Dugu Yan, she gently assisted Wang Li, laying him down so his head rested on her lap. Softly humming a lullaby, she soothed Wang Li into a peaceful sleep.
