This was the Dan Pearl that Dugu Bo had condensed when his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
It contained powerful energy and toxins, condensing half of Dugu Bo's strength.
It was connected to Dugu Bo's heart and blood. Once Dugu Bo died, the Dan Pearl would immediately explode, destroying everything around it.
In the still Space, everything had stopped moving.
Only Dugu Bo could move.
Dugu Bo's arms were injured, and he couldn't lift them.
He could only use his mind and Soul Power to control the Dan Pearl, flying it in front of him to directly block the energy of the ray.
Otherwise, if he moved carelessly, he would extend the point into a line.
His arm would also be cut in half.
"In a state of Time Freeze, it can still maintain such high temperature and cutting force. The level of this energy has definitely reached the Titled Douluo stage.
Has it transformed the Fire-attribute energy generated in this Space for its own use?"
Ordinary Fire would stop emitting light and heat in a state of Time Freeze.
However, his Soul Skill was not absolute. If faced with high-level energy, Time Freeze would not be so effective.
Dugu Bo looked at the faint Black Light with lingering fear, and sincerely praised it.
"Now, let me see your true face."
Dugu Bo flew along the Black Light to a certain point in the air, where the Black Light terminated.
In the Darkness, Dugu Bo couldn't see anything, but he could feel a heat transferring from the Space in front of him, which was exactly the same as the energy emitted by the Black Light.
The corners of Dugu Bo's mouth curled up, and he said evilly, "Finally found you."
The Dan Pearl floating beside Dugu Bo began to emit Emerald Green energy, spreading to the Space in front.
Suddenly, the Emerald Green energy began to smudge and eventually slowly took shape, finally turning into a ball of Fire.
Dugu Bo's energy enveloped Quan Yi's ball of Fire.
The Emerald Green energy continuously drilled into the interior of the Fire, but the internal Fire energy was extremely pure and extremely tough. Even Soul Douluo-level energy was strongly repelled.
Moreover, in the Space of Time Freeze, this ball of Fire seemed to be continuously increasing the temperature of the Fire, trying to resist the invasion of energy.
"Oh? It can still maintain consciousness in the frozen Time. Truly remarkable."
Dugu Bo's cold expression turned into one of extreme surprise.
That's right, at this moment, Quan Yi could sense everything around him, and also saw Dugu Bo approaching.
However, he was like being fixed by the Body Immobilization Technique, unable to move at all.
"Time Stop!"
Quan Yi didn't expect that a Poison Attribute Soul Master would possess such a rare Time-based Soul Skill.
If it weren't for Quan Yi's current Fire Element Body being composed of ultimate Fire Element, the energy intrusion just now would have been able to undo his Fire Spirit Body without Quan Yi's awareness.
Miscalculated! What to do, what to do? The current situation is the worst that Quan Yi could have imagined.
Quan Yi can now only resist the energy intrusion by increasing the Fire temperature.
His Element Body can completely ignore physical attacks, but it cannot be completely immune to energy attacks.
Being completely enveloped by Dugu Bo's Soul Power, he cannot replenish Fire Element energy from the outside.
Once his Soul Power is exhausted,
he won't even be able to escape.
Time Stop is simply a cheat-like skill.
"Since you can maintain consciousness, you should be clear about how bad the situation is now."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo's expression was sinister and full of oppression, but after saying the first sentence, he suddenly changed his tone.
"However, considering that you didn't try to kill me before, I've decided to spare your life.
I'll give you two choices: one is to join my family and obey my orders.
That way, you can not only freely use my Medicine Garden, but I can also personally guide your cultivation.
It's definitely the perfect choice for you."
Dugu Bo's tone returned to calm, but there was an overbearingness in his words that would not allow refusal.
After explaining the first choice, Dugu Bo paused slightly.
"The second is to wait until you exhaust your Soul Power and reveal your true form. I will directly cripple your Meridians and then throw you directly into the forest outside.
Two choices, no matter which one you choose, you can save your life from my hands.
Originally, I would usually kill small rats like you, but this time, consider it a great act of kindness on my part."
His tone was still extremely calm.
Dugu Bo's sunken cheeks, illuminated by the Emerald Green light, looked less like a person and more like a devil.
Quan Yi was speechless after hearing this.
Are these two choices? This is clearly just one choice.
Cripple his Meridians and throw him into the forest.
This is the central area of Sunset Forest.
Outside, powerful Soul Beasts are as numerous as hairs.
In less than a quarter of an hour, his flesh would be torn apart and then swallowed by Soul Beasts.
Regarding the 'two' choices Dugu Bo gave him,
Quan Yi's choice, of course, is to choose neither.
Now, although Quan Yi cannot escape, Dugu Bo can't do anything to him either.
With Quan Yi's Soul Power reserves, he could probably resist for half an hour.
Not short, but not long either.
The scorching heat and extreme cold aura infinitely weakened Dugu Bo's Poison Attribute Soul Power, but half an hour was definitely not enough to exhaust Dugu Bo's vast Soul Power.
However, Quan Yi had left a backup plan.
He could only pin his hopes of escape on this backup plan now.
The stopped Time began to turn again.
The Black Light on Dugu Bo faded, and the dark green Scale Armor returned to Emerald Green.
His Eighth Soul Skill, although extremely powerful, also consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power.
After catching Quan Yi, he immediately released Time Freeze.
And sat on the ground, monitoring Quan Yi's appearance.
He controlled the Dan Pearl, continuously applying pressure to Quan Yi, trying to exhaust Quan Yi's Soul Power as soon as possible.
"Alright, kid, I released Time Stop, now you should be able to speak.
Don't try to break free, once I catch you, you will never escape.
So, tell me, what is your choice?"
Quan Yi was now firmly trapped by Soul Power, unable to move, but he seemed to be able to speak.
"Ah~, I guess I'm unlucky, to actually encounter a Soul Skill that can stop Time. If it weren't for it, you would never have been able to find my location."
Quan Yi looked like a mischievous child who refused to admit defeat.
"Kid, answer my question."
Dugu Bo stared intently at Quan Yi, his tone becoming impatient and increasingly cold.
Faced with Dugu Bo's coercion, Quan Yi continued to do his own thing, and even blatantly began to provoke Dugu Bo.
"Ah~, ah~. I really didn't expect that the Douluo Continent's top Poison Attribute Soul Master would actually suffer from poison, it's really a joke.
Old man, from the looks of you, you don't have many days left to live. You might as well give this territory to me sooner rather than later.
In exchange, I can help you take care of the funeral. How about it, not bad, right?"
Hearing Quan Yi's provocation, the aura emanating from Dugu Bo became cold, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
Because Quan Yi's provocation just hit the point he cared about most.
Carefully observing Dugu Bo, Quan Yi keenly noticed the subtle changes in Dugu Bo's expression.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that I have stepped on Dugu Bo's sore spot.
