Chapter 421 - Poison Shadow
In the vast heaven and earth, in the skies, the tribulation clouds dispersed, and the sea of thunder vanished, leaving behind nothing but a vast and messy land. Countless mountains were shattered, and the terrifying lightning struck the earth, creating craters in the ground that were dozens or even hundreds of feet deep.
However, at this time, a wave of destructive killing intent filled the entire universe, interweaving into a streak of annihilating black that enveloped the master. The master’s reaction was extremely fast, and in an instant, two kinds of fighting fire surged out from her body.
A huge wave of temperature rose as the ice and snow within a radius of several dozen miles melted.
Countless evil spirits roared, and one after another, Shura after another appeared within the Purgatory, with benevolent expressions on their faces as they recited the words. Within the Purgatory, mountains of blades, seas of flames, and six paths of reincarnation, all of them appeared, transforming into a world of endless flames that surged outwards in all directions as it charged into the Purgatory!
The streak of black light was instantly distorted by the combination of the two types of energy flames. It seemed to be on the verge of dissipating, but it didn’t dissipate, enveloping the Master. It could be seen how powerful this streak of black light was.
Xuan Yuan had already reached the realm of a sixth grade Dou Di and could not be compared to an ordinary person. Even if a first transition Dou Xian were to hide in the void, he could still sense it. However, the moment this killing intent exploded out, he did not feel anything at all.
The instant these eighteen black figures appeared, Xuanyuan Wentian’s heart froze:
“Second Cycle Dou Xian!” There were a total of eighteen second transition Dou Xian! No wonder I was unable to sense their presence. It seems like this will truly be a killing match! "
These eighteen second transition Warrior Immortals were no longer the killers of the ‘Six Paths’ or ‘Reincarnation’. They did not have any special markings on their bodies.
Dressed in black, a dark black poisonous gas rolled on top of their black clothes!
The eighteen second transition Dou Xian had joined hands. No matter how powerful Shi Mu was, he was unable to resist it. One must know that Shi Mu had just stepped into the second transition Dou Xian realm and Xuanyuan could clearly feel the extremely poisonous death aura flowing within the bodies of these eighteen second transition Dou Xian.
There was no color in their eyes, only emptiness. There was no fear, no shock, no emotion. There was only endless death, endless killing intent, endless destruction, as if they were born to be killed, assassinated, and destroyed.
Xuan Yuan knew that this was definitely a death warrior that had been trained with the background of an enormous family.
In that instant, his master was trapped in endless danger. Seeing that his master was about to die, Xuanyuan Shen remained calm and unmoving like a mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the eighteen black figures were frozen in mid air. It was not because they did not want to move, but because they could not move at all. A huge cauldron appeared above their heads, and an extremely mysterious aura flowed down.
On top of this cauldron was a mountain. It was incredibly heavy, and it was heavy enough to crush anything into pieces. There were all kinds of ancient runes interweaving into a great dao rhythm on it, giving off the grand aura of a million strong warriors.
“The ‘Taishan Dao Cauldron’ is a Dao item.” The greedy old man’s voice resounded in Xuanyuan Wentian’s heart:
“This is a supreme treasure passed down from generations of Mt. Tai. Although it isn’t a supreme dao tool, it still contains terrifying might. It’s not simple at all!”
Mt. Tai’s Dao Cauldron sank downwards, and the bodies of the eighteen black shadows began to crack apart. Essence blood gushed out from their bodies, and their battle qi broke through their bodies, emitting a highly toxic aura of death.
An artifact spirit emerged from the Dao Cauldron. The moment the spirit appeared, it seemed to prop up the entire area, giving off a feeling as if it were the ultimate ruler of all Heaven and Earth.
He wanted to search for his soul, but, in this instant, the body of this second transition Dou Xian suddenly exploded. A terrifying poisonous gas, containing their life essence flowed out, and the other seventeen black clothed second transition Dou Xian did not seem to have any hesitation. From their eyes, a flash of absolute madness could be seen!
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…!
One after another, they self-detonated, enveloping the entire sky within a ten mile radius with a highly toxic aura of death.
Countless black fog filled the air. The already desolate land was corroded into a land of death by the deadly poison. Within a hundred years, not even a blade of grass would grow, unless someone used a great ability to purify the soil!
The originally unaffected snow suddenly turned black, spreading out for a radius of thirty li. A deathly aura rose, and was incomparably poisonous. Trees withered one after another, and were decayed.
These death warriors were so decisive that they did not leave any chance for anyone else and did not give him any chance of survival. Thinking that his master had been assassinated by these death warriors, Xuanyuan Yuan couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.
After being baptized by the blue lightning tribulation, the Myriad Transformations Daos Armor and the Devouring Myriad Dao Boots on Xuanyuan Yun’s body became even more profound, the damaged parts of the armor had evolved by quite a bit. It was obvious that they had absorbed the power of the lightning and turned into their own bodies to repair themselves.
The Boundless Body of Myriad Manifestation had dissolved everything in the world. In front of him, the boundless death aura and deadly poison contained the same amount of vital essence of life. Naturally, Xuanyuan was not afraid at all.
Every inch of Xuanyuan body’s skin, as well as the ‘Myriad Dao Devouring Equipment’ on his body devoured this wave of energy that flowed between heaven and earth.
The instant Xuanyuan Yun absorbed the highly toxic death aura, he felt as if his own flesh and blood were going to be corroded, but in the blink of an eye, the surging green dragon blood essence inside his body immediately shattered the death aura into pieces, and in the end, the death aura was slowly crushed by Xuanyuan’s’ Myriad Manifestation Physique ', becoming pure energy and merging into the Jindan within Xuanyuan’s Dantian.
At the same time, endless memories flowed through Xuanyuan’s sea of consciousness. Xuanyuan only saw a huge battle arena.
The oldest was only ten years old, the youngest was only six years old, they were covered in filth, their faces were filled with the color of vegetables, their weak bodies were trembling, holding onto sharp blades, one could see the same fierce beast coming out from the cage, roaring, revealing its sinister fangs.
Vicious beasts rushed towards these children. These vicious beasts tore apart these children, devoured them, and created a terrifying scene in which these children also exploded with an intense desire to live. In twos and threes, they joined forces and used their weapons to kill these vicious beasts.
When these children saw their companions die, they were frightened at first, frightened, but eventually they became numb. Then, they were carried away by the people wearing the Hai Clan’s symbol, trained, trained, and thrown into the pile of dead people, the corpses of the vicious beasts, which emitted a stench, death aura, and poisonous insects. They fed the herbs to their companions, causing them to cultivate.
As they grew older day by day, the final batch of carefully selected people was once again placed into the battle arena. They fought against each other, stabbing their blades at their former comrades who fought the vicious beasts together. Their blades faced each other, and their expressions were empty.
And just like that, in the midst of these cruel selections, a terrifying killing machine had grown up. Their souls had been restricted from everything they looked at.
The darkness of their lives was simply unimaginable for ordinary people. Xuanyuan Wentian was furious, knowing that these people were just there to survive. To think that the Hai Clan would do such a cruel thing, it made his teeth go cold.
Xuan Yuan devoured their life essence, dou qi, and death energy, turning them all into his own. At the same time, he read their memories and understood their life experiences.
They were known as Poison Shadow. They didn’t have names, they only knew how to train, and when they received an order, they would leave to complete it. They didn’t have emotions, nor did they have a sense of self, they only knew how to carry it out!
“This time, when you go out to assassinate the little princess, we will pass on her location to you. Success is not an option, and if you fail, you will all know what to do.”
That was the last thing they heard.
Now, he already knew that every time he broke through, it would trigger a lightning tribulation, causing Xuanyuan to no longer be able to easily break through. This was because the lightning tribulation was no small matter, especially the lightning tribulation of a rank seven Dou Zhe. It was unknown how fierce it would become, but Xuanyuan had always been cautious, so he would naturally not be careless.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xuanyuan Feng took out the memories he had obtained and displayed them before Emperor Mt. Tai and his teacher.
The master’s face revealed an unbearable expression. Looking at this scene, he only felt that it was extremely cruel.
“How can the people of Hai Clan do such a cruel thing!”
“I never would have thought that it would be the East Province’s dynasty, the Hai family. No wonder, no wonder, they are truly sinister. They are simply planning to kill the Northern Province’s dynasty!” However, he was very calm and did not express it. If this scene were to spread, it would also set off a huge war, but the situation would be completely reversed.
As the Emperor of Mt. Tai who held the military power in the Northern Region, he had the power to start a war. However, this was the behavior of the people of the Hai Clan.
Calming his heart, the Emperor of Mt. Tai seemed to recall something. Looking at Xuanyuan, his heart was filled with shock.
“The souls of these Death Soldiers have already been imprinted with a sealing seal and shattered into pieces. No one can check their memories, but Xuanyuan is actually able to. What sort of method did he use to make himself so powerful? The inheritance of the Azure Dragon?”
No one knew that the might of the ‘Infinite Body’ was extremely terrifying. This was only one of them.
“Emperor Mt. Tai, what plans do you have now? The person who wants to assassinate our teacher has already revealed himself.” Xuanyuan Po looked at the Emperor of Mt. Tai. Xuanyuan Xuan believed that no matter what, the Emperor of Mt. Tai would not let this matter go. In the near future, there would be huge waves between the Northern and Eastern Region dynasties.
The master’s expression was worried as he said:
“I think we should forget about this matter. I’m fine now, these people are too pitiful, they were treated like this since they were young, they have no freedom, they don’t have their own thoughts, they can only become killing machines. Their deaths, that is already the biggest punishment they have, don’t pursue it, I don’t want more people to die because of war.”
“Master, I’ve said it before, if you have the guts to kill, kill to stop, whoever created them, we will kill them.” Master, I’ve said that if you have the guts to kill to stop, whoever created them, we will kill them. Xuanyuan Jiuding’s words were sonorous and filled with killing intent. He was obviously furious at Hai Clan’s actions.
“Little Brother Xuanyuan is right. I will explain this matter to the emperor and discuss how to handle this matter with First Prince Shi Ba and Grand Princess Dan Da.” The Hai Clan was the clan head of the Eastern Region Capital. With the authority in charge of intelligence in the world and the countless assassins under their command, they must have infiltrated the Northern Region. If they really wanted to launch a war against the Eastern Region Empire, they would have to first clear the entire Northern Region of the Northern Region. Otherwise, if they were to be stabbed in the dark during a huge battle, it would be extremely fatal and would cause a lot of unnecessary casualties.
From the fact that Xuanyuan and Shifu had not walked for more than half a day and the fact that these assassins had found this place in succession, it was sufficient to show that there was definitely a spy from the Hai Clan who had infiltrated Skyfrost City.
She had nothing to say. She knew that what Xuanyuan and Emperor Taishan had done was probably right.
“Alright, I believe this time, the final killing should have been finished. Emperor Taishan, I will take my leave first. You and your master can go back now.” Xuan Yuan looked at Shi Yu and slowly said:
“You must be careful. The people of Hai Clan will not let this go easily!”
"Xuanyuan, you too. I believe that you will definitely succeed in your tribulation! Even thunder tribulation cannot resist your will! " Right now, Shi Dong was not worried about anything else, he was only worried about the lightning tribulation that Xuan Yuan might encounter. This was an extremely terrifying matter, like a thorn in Shi Dong’s heart, which he would never be able to pull out!
“Haha, don’t worry. I’m going back to the East Continent!” After Xuan Yuan bid farewell to Emperor Taishang, he soared through the air in the direction of the Eastern Region.
