Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 867 Peak of Nascent Soul, A World of Deadly Poison (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The entire city was shrouded in an atmosphere of mixed anticipation and trepidation.

Occasionally, a chilling energy fluctuation would emanate from the depths of the city lord's mansion. Although it was mostly blocked by the formation, the occasional leaked aura still made the powerful figures in the city tremble in their souls.

One year...two years...three years...

On this day, inside the secret room.

When Li Yunjing completely absorbed the energy of the last Saint Realm Crystal Core, the boiling aura around him finally reached a critical point!

"Boom!!!"

Within his dantian, the nascent soul that had reached its limit suddenly opened its eyes!
The eyes of the nascent soul no longer held simple spiritual light, but reflected a grand scene of chaos, birth and death, thunder and lightning, and the rotation of the five elements!

A profound aura, surpassing even that of a Nascent Soul, began to emanate from within the Nascent Soul.

At the same time, Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness was also expanding and transforming dramatically!
The spiritual energy, which was originally like mist, began to condense and compress wildly, eventually transforming into a phantom of a primordial spirit that was exactly the same as the nascent soul, but more solid and seemingly containing infinite wisdom and will!

Although it has not yet fully solidified, it already possesses the rudiments of a primordial spirit!

The gate to the Divine Transformation realm has already opened a crack for him!
Nascent Soul Realm, Peak!

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of chaotic lightning, as solid as metal, shot out and soared into the heavens!
He felt the boundless, surging magical power within his body, and the nascent primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was able to perceive and manipulate the laws of heaven and earth more clearly. A joyful smile finally appeared on his face.

"Peak of the Nascent Soul stage... I've finally reached it!"

He could clearly feel that his power was much stronger than before!

Now, when facing a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, he doesn't even need to use any immortal artifacts to crush his opponent.

Moreover, the formation of the nascent primordial spirit means that he has already stepped halfway into the Nascent Soul stage.

Next, all you need to do is continuously nurture and strengthen your primordial spirit until it is completely solidified, and then you can pass through the legendary "Transformation God Tribulation" and truly step into the transcendent realm of Transformation God!

"These crystal cores were indeed worth the effort."

Li Yunjing stood up, his aura restrained, but the unfathomable feeling, as if he were one with heaven and earth, was even more pronounced than before.

He stretched his muscles slightly, and a sound like muffled thunder rumbled through his body.

"It's time to leave."

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared outside the secret room.

When he reappeared in the council hall of the city lord's mansion, Malfurion, Kelos and others who had been waiting there, merely felt the aura emanating from him unintentionally, which was like an abyss, and they involuntarily knelt down, not even having the courage to look him in the eye.

"Welcome back, City Lord, upon your return!"

The crowd's voices were filled with awe that came from the depths of their souls.

They could sense that the city lord before them was far, far stronger than before he went into seclusion!

That's an absolute difference in the level of life!
"During my seclusion, you all managed the city diligently."

His voice was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, "Today I am about to leave, and this city will remain under your jurisdiction."

Before he finished speaking, he lightly flicked his sleeve.

Several streaks of light flew toward Malfurion, Kelos, and the others.

Malfurion caught a vibrant green leaf, exuding a rich aura of natural vitality and law. It was the [Fragment of the Heart of Nature] that Li Yunjing had casually condensed while refining a portion of the essence of the "Ancient Tree of Life," and to this druid, it was an unparalleled treasure.

What Kairos obtained was a piece of dark gold metal ore with dragon scale-like patterns on its surface. It contained amazing toughness and anti-magic properties [Dragon Blood Star Iron], which was enough for him to ask a master to forge a legendary peak weapon.

The "Tower of Wisdom" deacon received a magic crystal that recorded some ancient arcane knowledge.

The dwarf guild leader of the mercenary guild received a jug of "Volcanic Flame Wine," which exuded a rich wheat aroma and magical energy.

The temple bishop received a small vial of [Holy Dust] blessed by the Holy Light...

Every reward was precisely tailored to their needs and path, priceless in value, yet seemingly so casually bestowed upon them by Li Yunjing.

"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord!"

The crowd was both surprised and delighted, their voices trembling with excitement, and they bowed deeply once more.

These rewards are enough to elevate their strength and influence to a new level!
Although this city lord was ruthless, he was also very generous to his own people.

Li Yunjing said no more, took a step forward, and his figure appeared in the sky above "Emerald City", thousands of feet in the air.

He made no attempt to conceal his presence when he moved.

In an instant, all the powerful beings who had reached a certain level in the entire "Emerald City" and even the surrounding area of ​​thousands of miles, whether human, elf, dwarf or other race, felt something and looked up at the sky in horror!

"That's... the direction of Emerald City!"

"What a terrifying smell!"

"Has that 'true god' emerged from seclusion?"

"What is he going to do?"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, some filled with fear, some with awe, and some with curiosity, Li Yunjing remained unmoved, simply raising his right hand slightly.

The next moment, a massive, suffocating shadow tore through the clouds without warning and appeared above Emerald City!
What a colossal ship it was!

Its entire body is a deep blend of dark blue and silver-gray, with smooth and majestic lines. Its scale is comparable to a magnificent floating mountain, no, even larger than many mountain ranges!

At a rough glance, it is over 330,000 zhang long and tens of thousands of zhang wide!

Its enormous shadow instantly enveloped a large part of Emerald City!
The surface of the ship is not smooth, but covered with layers of armor plates like dragon scales. Countless complex and mysterious runes are engraved on the armor plates, with leaping lightning patterns, twinkling starlight, flowing five elements, and spatial ripples naturally undulating around it!

A heavy, ancient, vast, and seemingly immense pressure, as if emanating from the depths of the starry sea, enveloped the heavens and earth as if it were a tangible force!
"Then...what is that?!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"Is that the city lord's carriage? My goodness..."

Inside Emerald City, countless residents looked up at the colossal, sky-covering structure, letting out deafening gasps and uproars. Many even knelt down involuntarily, bowing in worship.

Although Malfurion, Kelos, and the others were mentally prepared and knew that the city lord was unfathomable, they were still extremely shocked when they saw the "Sky Patrol Ship" that looked like a mythical creation. Their awe of Li Yunjing reached its peak.

This massive energy fluctuation and the incredible appearance of the colossal ship spread like a storm throughout the entire Arcane Holy Star in an instant through various magical communications, communication spells, and even the divine sense perception of powerful beings!

The headquarters of the Natural Council, the palace of the Storm Empire, the remaining dragons on Dragon Island, the major temples, the reclusive families... all the leaders of the top forces were alarmed at this moment and turned their attention to the direction of Emerald City.

They "saw" the terrifying creation that floated in the sky like a moving continent, and felt the oppressive aura that far surpassed that of the Holy Realm, making their souls tremble.

"Is the true god... leaving?"

Someone muttered to themselves, feeling inexplicably relieved.

"Such a divine object...where did it come from?"

Many more people were filled with endless doubts and shock.

High in the sky, Li Yunjing seemed oblivious to the prying eyes below and from all around the stars.

In a flash, he appeared in the magnificent bridge command room of the "Sky Patrol Ship".

Hundreds of fourth-order puppet mechanical beasts performed their respective duties, silently and efficiently controlling this behemoth.

The Star Power Core operated smoothly, providing seemingly inexhaustible energy.

"Start, take off."

Li Yunjing gave the order calmly.

"Boom!"

The mysterious runes around the "Sky Patrol Ship" lit up one after another, emitting a soft yet powerful energy glow.

The ship trembled slightly and began to slowly climb upwards.

At first, the speed was not fast, but for every ten thousand feet it ascended, its speed increased by one point!
The massive hull tore through the atmosphere, but without triggering a violent sonic boom or storm. All the energy was perfectly constrained and channeled by the array on the surface of the hull, leaving only a ripple in space that gradually dissipated behind it.

In just a few breaths, the "Sky Patrol Ship" broke through the clouds and reached the highest point in the sky, and its speed increased as it headed towards the depths of the boundless starry sky!

From the ground, the overwhelming shadow rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a barely perceptible point of light before disappearing completely into the azure sky.

The sky above Emerald City has returned to its usual clear skies.

But the entire city, and even the entire Arcane Star, fell into a prolonged silence and shock.

Everyone knows that Li Wutian, the "true god" who streaked across the sky of Arcane Saint Star like a shooting star, leaving behind countless legends and awe, has already left.

He came suddenly, and he left just as abruptly.

All that remained was the Emerald City, which flourished even more because of him, and an eternal topic about the stars and supreme power.

……

In the endless sea of ​​stars.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" has already escaped the gravitational pull of the "Arcane Star" and entered the cold and dark space of space.

Standing in the observation and meditation room, Li Yunjing looked back at the planet that was gradually shrinking and taking on a beautiful blue-green hue through the special crystal dome.

His experiences on the Holy Star of Arcane Magic replayed in his mind like a movie.

They reaped great rewards, not only improving their cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but also gaining a wealth of valuable knowledge and resources, and developing a deeper understanding of different power systems.

"A decent supply depot."

He made a brief comment and then looked away.

The starry sea is boundless, and his journey is still long.

"Set course, target: Heavenly Emperor Ancient Star."

"Initiate the space jump procedure."

"Yes, Master."

The puppet mechanical beast's cold response echoed across the bridge.

The space in front of the "Sky Patrol Ship" began to distort and fold, and a deep and unfathomable dimensional passage slowly formed.

The next moment, this colossal vessel, carrying the ambitions of a Nascent Soul peak cultivator, suddenly accelerated and plunged into the dimensional passage, disappearing from this star field.

Only the eternal starlight continues to twinkle silently, witnessing yet another powerful figure's interstellar voyage.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" sailed steadily through the distorted dimensional passage, while the outside world was a bizarre and dazzling spectacle of destruction caused by the collision of fragments of laws.

Li Yunjing was in charge of the central control room, but he did not immerse himself in cultivation.

Once one's cultivation reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, with one foot already in the Divine Transformation stage, the effects of simply engaging in secluded and arduous cultivation are greatly diminished. What is needed now is a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, as well as that mysterious and profound opportunity for breakthrough.

He had originally decided to immediately attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage, but from the "Arcane Saint Star," he witnessed another system.

This system also provided him with many new ideas.

This made him decide to wait and see, to suppress his desires. He wanted to integrate more systems into his own Dao Fruit, to prove his Dao and become a Divine Transformation, the strongest Divine Transformation!

Therefore, for most of the voyage, Li Yunjing used the observation array of the "Sky Patrol Ship" to comprehend the chaotic and primitive laws manifested in the outside world during dimensional travel, especially the Daoist rhymes related to space and destruction, which were faintly in line with the true meaning of "annihilation" in the thunder magic he cultivated.

At the same time, he also spared a sliver of his mind to immerse himself in the many knowledge systems he had obtained from the "Arcane Holy Star".

The mage's precise manipulation of the elemental rules, the druid's resonance with the forces of nature, the knight's battle aura's ultimate development of will and body, the priest's use of the power of faith...

These paths, so different from the cultivation system, opened multiple windows for him to observe the universe, confirming his own Great Dao from different angles.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

The accumulation of this otherworldly wisdom allowed him to have a broader perspective on "chaos" and "evolution".

Ten years have passed quietly in the tedious yet fulfilling interstellar voyage.

On this day, the "Sky Patrol Ship" completed yet another long-distance jump, breaking free from the violent spatial tremors and returning to the embrace of the main universe.

Inside the observation and meditation room, Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of chaotic lightning appearing and disappearing in them.

He felt an unusual "call," not a sound, but a faint pull from the depths of his bloodline, or rather, from the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" he was practicing.

He took a step and was already on the bridge.

"Report your current location and scan the surrounding star system."

Li Yunjing gave the order.

The three-dimensional star map quickly outlined the distribution of stars in the surrounding area. Compared with the star map in the "Meteorite Order", this place is still on the route to the "Ancient Star of the Heavenly Emperor", but there is still an extremely long distance to the destination.

However, the star map revealed that in an unknown star field not far ahead, there existed an extremely vast, seemingly ancient, enormous nebula.

The nebula had a strange dark red color, and its internal energy reaction was abnormally chaotic and powerful. It also had continuous bursts of poisonous gas. Ordinary stars and even asteroid belts would be torn apart or swallowed up by the invisible poisonous fog if they got close.

That inexplicable sense of attraction originated from the depths of this dark red nebula.

"Master, the 'Burial Nebula' has been detected ahead. Its toxin energy level is extremely high, posing unknown risks. We recommend detouring via conventional routes."

The puppet mechanical beast's cold, robotic voice rang out.

"The Burial Nebula..."

Li Yunjing stared at the ominous area on the star map, feeling the growing excitement and longing of the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" within his body, and a smile of interest curled at the corner of his mouth.

"This appears to be a highly poisonous world."

"This is an opportunity for my 'Heavenly Poison Scripture' to be elevated."

"Now that we've encountered it, there's no reason to miss it."

He made a decisive decision: "Change course and approach the outer edge of the 'World Burial Nebula'. Activate the highest level of protection and conduct preliminary detection."

"As ordered."

The "Sky Patrol Ship" adjusted its course, like a cautious behemoth, and slowly sailed towards that deathly star field.

The closer you get, the more terrifying that dark red poisonous cloud becomes.

As far as the eye could see, there were rolling, surging clouds that seemed to be formed from a mixture of seven-colored light and destruction, within which the poisonous mist transformed into all sorts of demons dancing wildly.

In the center of this star field, an enormous vortex, like an eye of destruction, slowly rotates, emanating an aura that devours everything.

The "Sky Patrol Ship" was like someone who had stumbled into a purgatory composed of death and vibrant colors.

The closer one gets to the area marked "Burial Nebula," the more bizarre and dangerous the surrounding cosmic environment becomes. The once cold and dark vacuum is now filled with a poisonous haze that is visible to the naked eye, displaying a beautiful yet deadly color.

These poisonous mists are not simply gases, but are composed of countless unknown highly toxic energies, corrosive particles, and even tiny active venomous insects. As if they were alive, they sensed the "Sky Patrol Ship" as an outsider and rushed up frantically, constantly eroding and gnawing at the ship's protective light shield.

The protective array patterns flickered violently, emitting a strained buzzing sound, and the energy reserves were decreasing at an alarming rate.

The outer shell of the ship, made of Ten Thousand Years of Azure Stone and Star River Eternal Gold, which was strong enough to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator, began to show fine, corroded spots at the parts that came into contact with the poisonous mist.

"Warning! Shield energy is continuously decreasing and has dropped to 73%!"

"The unknown toxin possesses highly corrosive and energy-consuming properties!"

"Corrosion detected on the ship's surface material; anti-corrosion array overload!"

……

The cold alarm of the puppet mechanical beast echoed in the bridge.

"it is good!"

"It's really awesome!"

"Even a fifth-tier starship would find it difficult to maintain a permanent presence in this area. It seems that my time spent here wasn't wasted!"

Li Yunjing stood in front of the observation window, his expression solemn yet tinged with excitement.

He could clearly sense that the toxicity, strangeness, and unpredictability of this star field far exceeded any poison he had ever seen before.

Even some of the ancient and rare poisons recorded in the "Heavenly Poison Classic" pale in comparison.

"What an extremely poisonous place!"

Far from being afraid, the Heavenly Poison Scripture within his body accelerated its operation on its own, as if it were a long-awaited rain after a drought, generating a strong desire to devour the surrounding poisonous energy.

For him, this place was a crisis, but also an unparalleled treasure land that would push the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" to a whole new level!

"Maintain shield strength, reduce speed, and zigzag to avoid areas with dense poison mist."

Li Yunjing calmly gave the order, "At the same time, activate the 'Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace' projection and attempt to absorb and analyze the components of the surrounding poisonous mist."

"As ordered."

A hazy, azure halo, exuding an aura of purification and refining, emanated from the core of the "Sky Patrol Ship," which was the projection of the fifth-order magic weapon "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace."

Wherever the halo passed, the surging poisonous mist was forcibly absorbed and decomposed like moths to a flame. A portion of the pure toxic energy was stripped out and sent into the ship for analysis, while more impurities were purified and discharged.

However, the toxicity here far exceeded expectations, and the purification speed of the "Ten Thousand Paths Glazed Furnace" projection could not keep up with the speed at which the poisonous mist surged in!

"Master, the initial analysis is complete."

"The poisonous mist is extremely complex, containing more than three thousand unknown fragments of highly toxic laws. Some of the toxins possess multiple characteristics such as 'law erosion,' 'spiritual pollution,' and 'physical decay.' We recommend an immediate evacuation."

The puppet mechanical beast made a rational judgment.

"Erosion of the laws?"

"Primordial spirit contamination?"

Li Yunjing's eyes gleamed even brighter. "Truly extraordinary! If I can refine this poison, my 'Heavenly Poison Body' will surely reach its peak, and I might even be able to comprehend entirely new poison-based divine abilities from it!"

Instead of leaving, he made a bold decision.

"You will operate the 'Sky Patrol Ship' to find a relatively safe area on the periphery to stay in, continue analyzing the toxins, and collect data."

"I'll go in and take a look myself."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunjing's aura changed. The originally vast and boundless chaotic thunder energy quickly receded, and in its place, a deep, dark, and seemingly life-devouring "extremely poisonous" aura spread out.

On the surface of his skin, fine, dark purple patterns resembling ancient poison patterns appeared, and his eyes turned into pure dark green. This was the manifestation of the "Heavenly Poison Body," which was initially formed after cultivating the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" to a high level!
"Master, risk level: extremely high!"

The puppet mechanical beast issued its final warning.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing took a step forward, his figure passing through the layers of protection of the "Sky Patrol Ship" and directly exposed to the terrifying poisonous mist that could destroy stars!
"Chichichi..."

Upon contact, the colorful poisonous mist around him surged towards him like sharks smelling blood, attempting to penetrate his pores, corrode his meridians, and corrupt his spirit.

However, Li Yunjing neither dodged nor avoided, but instead took the initiative to activate the "Heavenly Poison Scripture"!
His pores seemed to transform into countless tiny vortexes, not only failing to repel the poison, but instead absorbing the surging toxins into his body with an overwhelming, swallowing force!
"boom!"

An indescribable, excruciating pain instantly swept through my entire body!
It felt as if a million poisonous needles were piercing my bone marrow at the same time, or as if countless poisonous insects were gnawing at my soul!
Various types of highly toxic energy surged and clashed within his body, annihilating and giving rise to new and even more bizarre toxins!
Any other cultivator, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would likely suffer physical decay and spiritual dissolution, leading to death and the annihilation of their soul, under the onslaught of such terrifying toxins.

But Li Yunjing is different!

He possesses the initial achievement of the "Heavenly Poison Body" and has also cultivated the "Heavenly Poison Scripture," which points directly to the Great Dao of Poison!
What outsiders see as deadly poison is, to him, a great tonic, an invaluable resource for tempering his poisonous body and enhancing his power!

He carefully guarded his mind and used the supreme methods of the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" to forcefully guide and refine the violent poison energy surging into his body.

His meridians were constantly ruptured by the toxins, but were quickly repaired by the operation of the technique, becoming more resilient and able to accommodate even more potent toxic energy.

His bones, internal organs, and even every drop of his blood, were gradually stained with a deep, dark purple luster during this frenzied tempering, emanating a chilling, poisonous aura.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, wisps of dark green poisonous mist began to swirl around the illusory image of the primordial spirit, making the primordial spirit appear even more eerie and powerful.

During this process, his understanding of the laws of "poison" also improved rapidly.

He "saw" various meanings contained in the poison, such as "decay," "decay," "end," and "chaos." These meanings corroborated his previous understanding of the great Dao, such as the "destruction" of thunder and the "encompassing" of chaos, making Li Yunjing's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth more comprehensive and profound.

He moved slowly along the outer edge of the "Burial Nebula" like a mobile source of poison. Wherever he went, even the violent poisonous mist seemed to be subdued by his aura, becoming much more docile and even giving way on their own initiative.

After an unknown amount of time, when Li Yunjing felt that his "Heavenly Poison Body" had stabilized and developed considerable resistance to the surrounding poisonous mist, and he could even control some of the toxins as if they were his own arms, he stopped.

At this moment, his aura was as deep and mysterious as an ancient well, and his eyes shimmered with dark green light as he opened and closed them, as if a single glance could poison a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His "Heavenly Poison Body" has been perfected, and his physical strength, resistance to poison, and control have all improved by several levels.

"If the outer perimeter is so powerful, what must the core be like?"

Li Yunjing's gaze fell upon the enormous, most colorful yet darkest vortex deep within the nebula, its rotation slow and swirling, and his anticipation grew even stronger.

He concealed his aura, perfectly blending himself into the surrounding poisonous environment, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, silently stealthily moving towards the core area of ​​the "Burial World Nebula".

The deeper one goes, the more diverse the types of poisons become, and the more complete and violent the laws become.

He even saw "poison spirits" of various shapes, formed from pure toxic energy, swimming around, devouring and evolving each other, forming a cruel and bizarre ecosystem.

Occasionally, he would encounter some strange poisonous beasts born in this place. They were ferocious in appearance, covered in poison, and their strength ranged from Nascent Soul to Divine Transformation.

Li Yunjing either poisoned or devoured these roadblocks with his superior poison skills, or quietly avoided them with his agility and stealth abilities far exceeding those of his peers.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time of stealth, he reached the edge of the enormous vortex.

Here, the toxic energy has become so concentrated that it has turned into a liquid, forming a boundless "sea of ​​poison" with ever-changing colors!
In the sea of ​​poison, the waves surged, and every drop of water contained a terrifying toxicity that could instantly kill someone in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm!
At the very center of the poisonous sea, in the eye of the vortex, Li Yunjing witnessed a scene that shocked him to his core!

Contrary to expectations, a deadly place was actually where a plant was growing!
A strange lotus flower, its entire body as black as ink, its stem twisted like a dragon, yet its leaves display a dreamlike, iridescent rainbow!

The lotus has nine grades, and each petal seems to be formed from different rare and exotic poisons, yet they are harmonious and unified, exuding a magnificent Taoist charm of "all poisons returning to their origin".

At the heart of the lotus, a point of chaotic light pulsates like a heart, each pulsation causing the toxic energy of the entire "Burial World Nebula" to ebb and flow!
"This is... 'Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons'?!"

Li Yunjing's pupils contracted sharply as he recognized the legendary sacred artifact of poison that only existed in the final chapter of the "Heavenly Poison Scripture"!

According to scriptures, this lotus is one of the sources of all poisons in the world, and is the embodiment of the law of poison! If one can gain its approval and refine its essence, one can not only instantly achieve a body that is "immune to all poisons", but also wield a portion of the power of the Great Dao of Poison. In a single thought, one can spread plagues or neutralize all poisons!
"I never imagined... that such a divine object would be nurtured here!"

Li Yunjing's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

The value of this "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons" far exceeds that of ten or eight immortal artifacts to him!
However, he also clearly sensed that around the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons" there was an extremely powerful natural restriction, as well as a hidden yet chilling protective will.

Obtaining this lotus is by no means an easy task.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his eyes regained their calm and composed expression.

The opportunity is right in front of us, but it requires patience and wisdom.

He did not rush to make a move, but instead chose to lie in ambush behind a relatively hidden reef at the edge of the poisonous sea. While continuing to temper his "Heavenly Poison Body" with the help of the rich toxic energy of the place, he carefully observed the restrictive fluctuations around the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons" and the patterns of its protective will.

Time, in this eternally poisonous realm, seems to have lost its meaning.

Like the most experienced hunter, Li Yunjing patiently waited for the best opportunity to strike.

Subduing this "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons" will be another major opportunity for him during this interstellar voyage, second only to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!

While he was completely focused on the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons," he did not notice that on another edge of the sea of ​​poison, a pair of cold, cruel compound eyes, filled with greed and savagery, were also staring intently at the sacred lotus, and... him, the uninvited guest.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the ebb and flow of the toxic sea.

Li Yunjing was like an unchanging ancient reef, perfectly concealed within the highly toxic energy, his aura blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

Under continuous tempering, his "Heavenly Poison Body" became increasingly profound and restrained, and the dark purple poison patterns on his skin seemed to come alive, flowing faintly.

Through observation of the natural restrictions surrounding the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons," he discovered that these restrictions were not inanimate objects, but rather their strength changed regularly with the ebb and flow of energy from the sea of ​​poison.

Whenever the chaotic light at the lotus heart pulsates most violently, causing the poisonous energy of the entire nebula to surge, the restriction will show an extremely slight loosening.

The subtle protective will mainly resides in the depths of the poisonous sea directly beneath the mother lotus, seemingly drawing upon the primordial power emanating from the mother lotus.

"Opportunity lies in that fleeting moment..."

Li Yunjing calculated in his mind, "I must break through the barrier the moment the restriction loosens, while avoiding the direct impact of the protective will."

He held his breath and focused his mind, adjusting himself to his peak condition, like a venomous dragon poised to pounce, waiting for that crucial moment.

However, just as he was about to make his move, a sudden change occurred!

"hiss……"

A sharp, piercing scream, seemingly capable of tearing apart one's very soul, suddenly erupted from the other side of the sea of ​​poison!
In an instant, the venom in that area began to boil and churn, and an enormous black shadow broke through the venomous waves, revealing its hideous and terrifying appearance!

That was a colossal creature over ten thousand feet long!

Its entire body is covered with a colorful carapace that constantly flows with viscous venom. It resembles a centipede, but it has hundreds of pairs of sickle-like limbs. Its head has a nauseating compound eye structure. With each opening and closing of its mouthparts, the dripping venom instantly corrodes the poisonous sea below, creating holes!
The aura it emitted had clearly reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and was filled with tyranny, greed, and a pure desire for destruction!
"The Centipede Poison Dragon King!"

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine as he recognized this ancient, exotic species, recorded in the appendix of the "Heavenly Poison Scripture," which was said to originate from extremely poisonous lands.

This creature is not highly intelligent, but its physical body is incredibly strong. It is born with the ability to control all poisons, making it an extremely troublesome being.

Clearly, it was also attracted by the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons" and regarded Li Yunjing as an enemy who was fighting for the treasure!
"Roar!"

The Centipede Poison Dragon King had no intention of communicating at all. With a sudden swing of its massive body, hundreds of scythe-like limbs slashed through the venom, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that seemed to tear through space, as it swept towards the place where Li Yunjing was hiding!

At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a highly condensed, chaotic poisonous breath, which caused the space itself to sizzle and corrode wherever it passed!
Before the attack even arrived, the terrifying pressure and the stench of poison had already hit us!

"Beast!"

"Destroy my good deeds!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and a murderous intent burst forth!
This beast not only interrupted his best opportunity to harvest the mother lotus, but also went so far as to kill him!

He no longer concealed himself and suddenly sprang up!

Faced with the onslaught of scythe-like limbs, he advanced instead of retreating, his dark purple poisonous patterns gleaming brightly. He clenched his right fist, and a strange power that combined "Heavenly Annihilation Poison Essence" and "Chaotic Thunder Power" instantly condensed!

"Poisonous Lightning Shatters the Heavens!"

With a single punch, there was no grand momentum, only a gray-purple fist force, like a twisted poisonous dragon, silently crashing into the sky full of sword light!
"Puff puff!"

A series of teeth-grinding sounds of corrosion and cracking rang out!

The scythe-like limbs, powerful enough to sever spiritual treasures, snapped and dissolved like rotten wood the instant they came into contact with the gray-purple fist force!
The force of the punch continued unabated, directly shattering the chaotic poisonous aura and slamming it hard onto the chest and abdominal carapace of the Centipede Poison Dragon King!
"Crack!"

The shell, harder than pure gold, shattered instantly, revealing writhing, equally poisonous flesh inside!
The Poison Dragon King let out a roar of pain and rage, its massive body slammed backward by the force, creating a towering wave of poison!

It clearly hadn't expected that this "little guy" would possess such terrifying power and bizarre poison skills!

"hiss!!"

The Poison Dragon King went completely mad, its body radiating a dazzling array of poisonous light that shot into the sky. Its massive body seemed to transform into a giant source of poison, causing the surrounding hundred-mile-long sea of ​​poison to boil. Countless toxic energies surged into its body like rivers flowing into the sea. Its shattered carapace rapidly repaired itself, and its aura, instead of decreasing, increased, becoming even more violent!
It suddenly opened its huge mouth, no longer spewing poisonous breath, but instead, a point of extremely concentrated dark light at its core, seemingly containing all the negative emotions in the world, began to gather!
That's the power of its innate poison pill!

Li Yunjing's expression changed slightly. He could feel the destructive energy contained in the dark light. If he were hit, even with his current poisonous body, he would not be in good condition!
"We can't let it fully unleash its power!"

His mind raced, and his figure transformed into a phantom of poison, instantly traversing space and appearing above the Poison Dragon Emperor's head!
At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and the phantom of his primordial spirit, shrouded in poisonous mist, suddenly opened its eyes in his sea of ​​consciousness!
"Heavenly Poison Domain, open!"

hum!
Centered on Li Yunjing, a dark green domain covering an area of ​​dozens of miles suddenly unfolded!

Within this domain, all laws seemed to have been corrupted and distorted by a deadly poison!
The Poison Dragon Emperor's movement of gathering his life-bound poison pill suddenly stopped, as if he had fallen into an invisible quagmire, and even his thinking became sluggish!
This is precisely the domain power that Li Yunjing has initially formed by cultivating the "Heavenly Poison Scripture" to its fullest extent and combining it with his own understanding of the laws of poison: the Heavenly Poison Domain!

"good chance!"

A fierce glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a point of chaotic lightning and dark green poison energy perfectly merged at his fingertips.

"Chaotic Poison Lightning Finger!"

With a flick of his finger, the gray light at his fingertip, carrying the power to destroy life, seemed to transcend time and space, instantly striking the center of the Poison Dragon King's enormous compound eye!
"Pfft!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion; the Poison Dragon King's hard compound eye shell was pierced as easily as tofu!
The Chaotic Poison Lightning Finger Force, carrying the most primal destruction and deadly poison, instantly invaded its head, frantically destroying all its life force!
"Hiss... Heh..."

The Poison Dragon Emperor's massive body convulsed violently, and the power of its half-gathered natal poison pill went out of control and backfired, erupting along with the chaotic poison lightning that had invaded its body!
Its compound eyes quickly lost their luster, and the flesh beneath its carapace melted into pus like ice and snow. Finally, its towering body collapsed with a mournful cry of despair, turning into a pool of bubbling, even more bizarrely colored venom that merged into the poisonous sea below.

Only a poison pill, roughly the size of a house, multicolored, riddled with cracks, and emanating a violent and unstable aura, remained suspended in mid-air.

Li Yunjing was slightly out of breath. He had used his supernatural powers one after another, especially the "Heavenly Poison Domain", which had taken a toll on him.

He reached out and suppressed and put away the poison pill that was on the verge of collapse.

Although this substance possesses violent energy, if it is carefully refined, it can even be beneficial to its toxic effects.

"Finally, the problem is solved!"

He calmed his surging blood and turned his gaze back to the "Mother Lotus of Ten Thousand Poisons".

After the fierce battle with the Poison Dragon King, the energy of the Poison Sea became even more chaotic, and the fluctuations of the natural restriction were also affected.

The protective will hidden beneath the mother lotus seemed to have been startled by the aura of the battle just now, becoming more active and... vigilant?
"Can't wait any longer!"

Li Yunjing knew that the commotion just now might have attracted the attention of a deeper entity, and he had to resolve the matter quickly!

He took a deep breath, adjusted himself to his best state, and fixed his gaze on the pulsating rhythm of the chaotic light in the heart of the mother lotus.

It's now!

At the moment when the light pulsated to its extreme, causing the restriction to loosen as if by a ripple!
"Whoosh!"

Li Yunjing's figure transformed into an almost imperceptible stream of light, shrinking the "Heavenly Poison Domain" to the surface of his body to form the strongest layer of protection and concealment. At the same time, he activated an extremely profound spatial escape technique recorded in the "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Scripture," Thunder Instant!
