Chapter 200 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [200]
Chen Ming, amidst the fierce battle, diverted some of his focus to strategize on how to deal with the tough-skinned and resilient Medusa Queen. In the Angel God's sword techniques, he found the appropriate solution.
"Sever the connection between the mental and soul power and the physical body, making the body fragile for an instant, and then resolve it with an extreme burst of power."
Dodging the Medusa Queen's attacks, Chen Ming left the weakened snake emperors and Medusas to be held back by Dugu Bo. Or rather, the two of them mutually supported each other by keeping the enemies restrained. After all, despite their numbers and quality, these creatures could only temporarily hold off a Super Douluo like Dugu Bo. Ultimately, the victor would undoubtedly be him.
Chen Ming's eyes gleamed as his right hand subtly shifted into a slightly awkward posture. Light and flame soul power augmented his Dark Gold Terrorclaw. Experimenting as though wielding a sword, Chen Ming attempted to mimic the Angel God's sword techniques.
The weakened version of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, empowered by light and flame, left a wound on the Medusa Queen's body. While such a wound would be fatal to small or medium-sized soul beasts, for the massive Medusa Queen, it was barely more than a superficial injury, far from life-threatening.
The light and flame soul power tried to burn at the Medusa Queen's wound, but even ultimate fire combined with light attributes was gradually suppressed by her overwhelming innate power and soul energy. Not only did the attack fail to expand its impact, but the Medusa Queen's incredible regenerative abilities forced the burnt wound to close and even begin healing.
The Medusa Queen unleashed her innate soul skills with abandon: venom, petrification, brute strength, and even charm. However, she refrained from using her ability to stop time. It wasn't that she didn't want to; she simply couldn't. Time Stop was the most powerful and bizarre ability of Medusa-type soul beasts, even stronger than petrification. Only Medusa Queens with over 50,000 years of cultivation could use it, and even then, activating it would instantly drain nearly half their soul energy.
The Medusa Queen and her kin under 50,000 years couldn't even attempt Time Stop. At most, they could use petrification. Even the 40,000-year-old Medusa Queen was no exception.
For the Medusa Queen herself, activating Time Stop required intense focus to mobilize her power and the laws within her bloodline. Without proper preparation, the skill might fail to activate or fail to immobilize her foes.
Whenever the Medusa Queen tried to concentrate on casting Time Stop, Chen Ming would launch relentless attacks on her vital points, forcing her to abandon the attempt.
As time passed, the tide of battle began to shift in favor of Chen Ming and Dugu Bo.
The three-headed snake emperors and the two hybrids suffered heavy losses. Chen Ming had already killed one Crimson Snake King, severely injured two Medusa, and forced the Nether Snake Emperor to use its life-saving skill. The only relatively intact Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor was no match for Dugu Bo, who treated it like a helpless child, keeping it on the fringes of the battle.

The venom, the primary weapon of snake-type soul beasts, was utterly useless against Dugu Bo, who had reached level 95. Dugu Bo began leveraging the snakes' venom to enhance his soul skills as the fight progressed.
The primary threat to Dugu Bo remained the group of Medusas. While their divine beast bloodline granted them high quality, their cultivation years were insufficient. Other than posing a brief threat at the start, they could no longer endanger him.
The two youngest Medusas, with the least cultivation, had already succumbed to Dugu Bo's poison, leaving behind two black soul rings.
The Medusa Queen, though massive and durable, was woefully lacking in combat experience. Her naturally high intelligence deprived her of the brutal instincts and battle-hardened wisdom typical of soul beasts. Frequently, in moments of pain, she missed opportunities to counterattack. This allowed Chen Ming to gradually chip away at her as if fighting a boss in a game.
Cold poison slowly seeped into the Medusa Queen's body, bit by bit eroding her vitality and soul power, weakening her overall strength and base attributes.
As her condition worsened, fear began to overshadow the greed and rage in the Medusa Queen's heart.
Feeling terrified, the Medusa Queen contemplated negotiating with these intruders, offering them other soul beasts in her territory, even her offspring, as soul rings in exchange for their departure. However, before this hesitation could turn into action, Chen Ming seized the opportunity. He suddenly launched another attack, his Dark Gold Terrorclaw—now cooled down—slashing out once more, almost cutting the Medusa Queen in half at her waist.
Sensing the threat to her life and realizing her enemies would not spare her, the Medusa Queen erupted in fury. The thread of reason in her mind snapped completely.
Her massive body froze briefly before crossing her arms over her chest, forcibly enduring Chen Ming's attacks as she began summoning the power within her. Despite Chen Ming's desperate efforts to kill her before she could unleash her skill, the Medusa Queen's immense durability meant he could only inflict deep, bone-revealing wounds, still short of a fatal blow.
An aura of sin surged from the Medusa Queen's body. Her once vibrant green snake hair and eyes turned a bizarre dark red, corrupted by the malevolent power coursing through her. Her snake hair expanded rapidly.
Sensing the sinister energy radiating from the Medusa Queen, the surrounding snake emperors and Medusas battling Dugu Bo instinctively knelt, ceasing their resistance even under lethal attacks.
Several Medusas were killed by Dugu Bo during this moment of submission. The Nether Snake Emperor, having lost its life-saving skill, was slain, while the two hybrid snakes were left barely clinging to life.
At that moment, the Medusa Queen's body suddenly grew, swelling from around 30 meters to nearly 50 meters. Her form took on a blood-red, translucent, and otherworldly appearance.
The power of sin erupted. The Medusa Queen's snake hair writhed wildly, each pair of eyes glaring at Chen Ming with pure malice. The overwhelming hostility bombarding Chen Ming's mind reminded him of the Rakshasa God's divine power he had encountered before.
Although the Medusa Queen's strength was far inferior to that of the Rakshasa God, the sheer purity of her malice surpassed the malevolence in the Rakshasa God's divine power.
The soul rings of the fallen snakes on the battlefield were drawn together by an invisible force, merging into the Medusa Queen's body. The blood spilled during the battle was also absorbed into her.
If the original Medusa Queen was a divine ruler among snakes, then the current Medusa Queen had undoubtedly become a demon from hell.
"Not enough... not enough!"
The Medusa Queen let out a piercing shriek, her immense spiritual power surging across the entire island.
Under her Death Wail, countless snake-type soul beasts perished instantly. Their soul rings and blood flew toward the island's center, merging into the Medusa Queen.
Despite Chen Ming's best efforts to stop her, most of the soul rings and blood still enters her body. Her once translucent form became increasingly solid.
The Medusa Queen's chest split open, revealing a medal that floated out. It was none other than the Soul Devouring Medal, the divine artifact once wielded by the God of Sin, Medusa.
