He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

The instant they came into contact with the poisonous rain.

The aura emanating from Li Yao dimmed considerably in an instant.

"Sizzle!"

At this moment, Li Yao was like a red-hot iron block that had been directly immersed in cold water.

His protective aura lasted for less than a breath.

It shattered instantly!

"How is that possible?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Yao's pupils instantly contracted.

But before he could make a second reaction...

The eerie green poisonous rain had already soaked his head and face.

"ah!!!"

The venom, once inside his body, not only corroded his flesh but also relentlessly eroded his meridians and consciousness.

The piercing screams emanating from his mouth at this moment no longer sounded like human voices.

The screams instantly echoed through the sky.

The remaining disciples who hadn't died were so frightened by the commotion that their legs went weak.

They dare not run, and they can't fight back? Are they really forcing people to wait to die?

Now let's look at Li Yao, considering his cultivation level.

Faced with this deadly poison, he was utterly vulnerable.

Amidst the excruciating pain, Li Yao was even more horrified to discover that his spiritual power was rapidly draining away.

His skin turned bluish-black at a visible speed.

His entire body was as if he had been thrown into a pool of sulfuric acid, rapidly melting and festering.

In the end, he was no longer recognizable as human.

"Help...help me..."

Li Yao turned his head with great difficulty.

He instinctively wanted to get Liu Tong's help.

However, Liu Tong was already preoccupied with his own problems under the control of the Taiyin Poison Spider.

So how could he possibly care about Li Yao's life or death?

Before he could even turn around to look.

Li Yao's cries for help came to an abrupt end.

At this moment, Li Yao's death was truly tragic and utterly miserable!

Because his throat had been eroded by the venom, he could no longer make a sound.

Its entire body, flesh and blood, was turned inside out.

His eyes, too, bulged out like those of a dead fish in the intense pain.

Because his bones and muscles had been almost completely corroded by the venom.

Therefore, he was unsteady on his feet.

Finally, with a "plop," it plunged headfirst into the dark waters of the Dragon Prison Pool.

He sank like a pebble dropped into a vast ocean, without even creating a ripple.

Lu Changsheng remained completely unmoved by this scene.

He simply stood quietly to one side.

He continued to coldly observe all of this.

At this moment, Li Yao's body was seen sinking to the bottom.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

"swallow!"

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron hummed and vibrated from his dantian, its mouth facing downwards, and a huge suction force suddenly shot out.

The suction light precisely enveloped the spot where Li Yao had sunk.

Whoosh!

The pool was forcibly torn open.

Li Yao's still-bubbling, rotting corpse was forcibly pulled from the bottom of the water.

The corpse, carrying foul-smelling black water, flew straight into the cauldron.

Chaos surged within the cauldron, and the corpse was instantly refined into a wisp of pure blood energy.

This extreme yin energy is of little benefit to the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

So he poured it all into the body of the Taiyin Poison Spider.

The Taiyin Poison Spider greatly benefits from this energy.

Its eight legs trembled slightly, and a hint of excitement appeared in its eyes.

Before Lu Changsheng could speak, it charged forward again with all its might.

Clearly, Liu Tong's flesh and blood held immense appeal for it.

Under the entanglement of the Yin Poison Spider.

Liu Tong's situation suddenly became extremely awkward.

Regardless of the strength of this Yin Poison Spider, its legs, which are as hard as steel spears, are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, each of its strikes carries a potent poison capable of corroding even the most potent elixir.

Therefore, even someone as powerful as Liu Tong could not avoid ending up with his body covered in wounds and his spiritual energy stagnating.

Besides that, what's even more terrifying is...

Under Lu Changsheng's control, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was operating continuously.

The Soul-Capturing Banner continuously draws out the remnants of the surrounding cultivators' souls, transforming them into Yin energy to nourish the great formation.

With each struggle, Liu Tong's soul was torn apart.

This caused him a splitting headache, bringing him to the brink of collapse.

"Lu Changsheng! You'll die a horrible death!"

He roared, cleaved the spider's forelegs with his sword, and then retreated rapidly.

Lu Changsheng observed all of this with a cold eye.

Heh? You've offended me, and you think you can run away?!

With a flick of his wrist, another twenty-odd thunderstorm talismans rained down.

Even if Liu Tong were made of iron, it wouldn't work now!

After being blasted to the ground by a "cannon".

Before he could react, the venomous spider immediately clung to him again.

With a soft "poof!"

The spider's stinger pierced his right arm.

This venomous spider truly lives up to its name.

The wound that was stabbed instantly became shrouded in black mist.

His entire arm quickly turned blue and swollen, and even the veins began to ulcerate.

"You old scoundrel!"

Liu Tong gritted his teeth and slapped his shoulder acupoint.

He tried to forcefully stop the spread of the poison gas, but the Taiyin poison was no ordinary poison.

Within moments, the chill had already seeped into his heart.

His internal golden core was struggling to circulate as if trapped in a quagmire.

"Who...who exactly are you?"

Exhausted, Liu Tong was panting heavily.

At this moment, there was no longer any contempt in his eyes, only deep fear.

"How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly control the Soul-Capturing Banner, tame the Yin Poison Spider, and possess such a bizarre magical treasure?!"

That strange magical artifact, of course, refers to the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng slowly descended from the sky.

Standing on a charred rock by the pool, despite having just experienced a great battle, his robes remained spotless.

This nonchalant demeanor was completely different from Liu Tong's.

When questioned, Lu Changsheng calmly replied:

"Who am I?"

"Heh, in your eyes I'm just an old piece of trash, an ant you can crush with a flick of your wrist!"

"What, you don't recognize me now?"

Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, then continued:

"Alas, it's a pity. Once ants have fangs, you are nothing more than livestock waiting to be slaughtered."

There seemed to be pity in his words, or perhaps a hint of mockery.

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his hands together!

"The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, collect souls!"

Suddenly.

The twelve Soul-Capturing Banners suddenly contracted, transforming into twelve blood-red lines that pierced through the remaining disciples.

Before those people could even scream, their souls were forcibly extracted.

Then it turned into wisps of green smoke and merged into the main banner.

At this point, with the exception of Liu Tong, the entire group from the Enforcement Hall was wiped out.

The banks of the Imprisoned Dragon Pool were deathly silent.

Liu Tong looked around and saw that all his former confidants had turned into withered bones and sunken in the pool. As a result, the last bit of hope in his heart completely collapsed.

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid of being investigated by the sect?!"

"The sect forbids its members from killing each other! If we all die here, the sect leader will definitely investigate thoroughly! You cannot escape!"

Lu Changsheng gave a cold laugh.

"Heh, why would I run away?"

"It was the Yin Demon Spider and the Soul-Sealing Banner that killed you. What does that have to do with me?"

"Besides, I think you came to see me secretly, so even if you die, they won't suspect me! What do you think?"

Liu Tong was stunned, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He definitely didn't report this!

The Taiyin Condensed Dew Fruit is a rare treasure, and if one were to consume it, one would surely break through the bottleneck and might even have a chance to glimpse the Nascent Soul realm.

Therefore, he became greedy.

To prevent the news from leaking out, the other disciples were kept completely in the dark.

As long as Lu Changsheng is killed, the fruit can be obtained and refined without anyone noticing, and one's cultivation level will skyrocket, elevating one's status to a higher level...

But now, it's all over!

He knew he was doomed to die today.

Liu Tong simply stopped thinking about anything else.

"Old dog, if you won't let me live, then you want to live too!"

As he spoke to me, he slapped his palm against his dantian.

Instantly, the blood and qi in his body surged.

Lu Changsheng's gaze sharpened.

Is this guy trying to self-destruct his golden core?

Although he knew what this guy was up to, Lu Changsheng did not panic at all.

He thought he had long anticipated that Liu Tong would resort to such a desperate measure.

If a Golden Core cultivator forcibly detonates their natal Golden Core, its power is comparable to an attack from an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

At that time, within a radius of a hundred feet, mountains will collapse and the earth will crack, and vegetation will turn to ash.

Even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would be instantly reduced to ashes if they were merely struck by the aftershocks.

But Lu Changsheng is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Trying to drag me down with you?"

"Are you worthy?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pressed his hands down!

"Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, suppress!"

hum!

The Devouring Cauldron that floats within Lu Changsheng's dantian.

It flew out suddenly, then amplified hundreds of times, causing the chaotic energy inside the cauldron to surge like a tide.

A heavy, mountain-like restrictive force crashed down, completely enveloping Liu Tong and the three-zhang space around him.

At the same time, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation had not yet dissipated, and the afterimages of the twelve Soul-Capturing Banners were still swirling in the air. At this moment, guided by Lu Changsheng's thoughts, they all changed direction and transformed into twelve blood-red chains, which wrapped around Liu Tong's limbs and dantian.

"No!"

Liu Tong's eyes were bloodshot, and his golden core was on the verge of exploding.

The spiritual energy surged like a volcanic eruption, but it was suppressed by the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

Therefore, that spiritual power was forcibly suppressed back into the body, like dynamite stuffed into an iron barrel with nowhere to be released.

"Explode it!!!"

He roared, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his meridians rupturing inch by inch.

However, the power of the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron far exceeded his imagination.

The self-destruction of a mere Golden Core is nothing more than a slightly violent wisp of spiritual energy in its presence.

It's not worth mentioning at all.

"receive."

Lu Changsheng uttered a single word.

The Devouring Heaven Cauldron suddenly inhaled!

Boom!

The golden core within Liu Tong's body was forcibly extracted from his dantian.

The golden elixir, carrying Liu Tong's last wisp of divine consciousness, immediately transformed into a dazzling golden light that shot straight into the cauldron.

Logically speaking, the power of even a single Golden Core exploding should not be underestimated.

But who would have thought that he would run into the Devouring Heaven Cauldron?

The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron can even devour the heavens!

A mere golden core, what's there to say?

The next instant, the golden elixir exploded inside the cauldron.

However, it was enveloped, crushed, and refined by layers of chaotic energy.

Ultimately, it transformed into a wisp of extremely pure Golden Core essence power.

As for this power, Lu Changsheng naturally didn't care for it, so he casually poured it into the body of the Taiyin Poison Spider.

"Cool!"

The venomous spider's eight legs trembled violently, and it spoke in human language.

Then it excitedly tilted its head back and neighed.

At this moment, there was no one left alive by the Prisoner of Dragon Pool.
