Chapter 2648: Chapter 2622: In Peril (Seven Updates)
So powerhouses sensed the danger and began to consider retreat.
“Heh! The greater the risks, the greater the opportunities in that Poison Cave. Even if it ans losing one’s life, we must wager everything!”
The martial artists capable of entering Cold Poison City were at least in the mid-stage of the Great Void Realm. Such figures naturally possessed unyielding Dao hearts and supre confidence, fearing no peril.
The location where the Poison Tablet fell happened to be in the underground Poison Cave at the center of Cold Poison City.
Xuanlingzi and Ji Lin encountered nurous poisonous beasts along the way, fighting with all their might, both sustaining serious injuries. At this mont, they arrived at a spot rely ten miles away from the Poison Cave.
Going further forward would lead to the entrance of the Poison Cave, where nurous martial artists had gathered, as well as a large number of poisonous beasts.
Though the poisonous beasts were exceptionally powerful, their intelligence was exceedingly low. These beasts stayed here to guard whatever lay inside the Poison Cave, showing outright hostility to the martial artists and initiating savage attacks.
A pack of more than ten poisonous beasts sward toward Xuanlingzi and Ji Lin, the master and disciple duo. Xuanlingzi’s lips overflowed with golden blood, as his spiritual energy surged, singlehandedly holding off seven to eight beasts of equal cultivation level!
This suicidal burst of combat strength ca at a great cost, as Xuanlingzi had resorted to burning his blood essence and lifespan—an action riddled with dire consequences.
Though Ji Lin’s abilities were enhanced, her cultivation level was too low to contend effectively. She could barely handle one formidable beast, but now, three imnsely oppressive beasts surrounded her!
After just a few exchanges, Ji Lin suffered severe injuries and found herself in grave danger!
“Lin’er!”
Xuanlingzi’s eyes burned with rage, but he was overwheld by his own predicant. Helpless, he could only watch in despair as Ji Lin faced an almost certain death, his heart sinking into the abyss.
“Master, farewell… Ye Chen, goodbye… Our fate was never ant to be; I cannot stay by your side…”
At the final mont of her life as her Life Fire dimd and approached extinction, Ji Lin muttered inwardly.
Her crystalline, jade-like cheeks bore the trails of tears as she closed her eyes.
A three-headed poisonous beast raised its massive palm and struck toward Ji Lin. Trapped by the other two beasts, there was no escape from this blow; the fatal strike was about to reduce her to pulp…
“Roar!!”
Suddenly, a deafening roar reverberated across heaven and earth from the depths of the Poison Cave, as a tide of searing, ferocious flas swept outward!
The gigantic palm of the three-headed poisonous beast paused mid-air, while the other two beasts retreating her halted their assault.
Strangely, the other beasts attacking the rest of the martial artists only hesitated for a brief mont before resuming their frenzied attacks.
That roar seed directed solely at the three beasts surrounding Ji Lin…
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A poisonous beast resembling both a tiger and an elephant erged forcefully from the Poison Cave, shaking the ground with its steps. Invisible black flas burned around its massive body, corrupting even the surrounding space with a layer of blackness sufficient to dissolve reality itself—an embodint of lethal poison!
This beast wielded power approaching the Chaos Realm!
The martial artists striving to fight their way into the Poison Cave fell into shock. Panic-stricken, they unleashed desperate techniques to repel the poisonous beasts and fled the scene!
The beast chief headed directly toward Ji Lin. Its overwhelming aura caused the already faltering Ji Lin to fall unconscious imdiately!
Its blood-soaked maw opened wide, as the beast swallowed Ji Lin whole without hesitation before turning around and retreating back into the Poison Cave!
Xuanlingzi’s face turned ashen, despair driving him to roar in fury: “Stop! Leave my disciple behind!!”
Bang!
A monstrous beast slamd into Xuanlingzi, sending him soaring and leaving him sprawled helplessly on the ground, coughing blood. He could only watch powerless…
The beast that had swallowed Ji Lin vanished deep into the Poison Cave!
Seven or eight pairs of cruel, nacing eyes fell upon Xuanlingzi; death seed imminent. But at that mont, the tiger-elephant-like beast chief roared once more!
Roar!
The poisonous beasts around the Poison Cave appeared to have been given orders, each rushing toward the cave, either flying or running.
Xuanlingzi narrowly escaped death, though he felt no relief for surviving.
“Lin’er… I have failed you as your master; I should never have brought you here for this perilous venture! Ye Chen, I have failed your trust even more… Wait, Ye Chen. Perhaps Lin’er isn’t dead yet. Only Ye Chen might have the chance to save her!”
Though the hope was slim to the point of impossibility, Xuanlingzi could only muster up this fragile belief.
His steps faltered, his shadow desolate, as the heavily injured Xuanlingzi departed Cold Poison City.
He waited for Ye Chen to arrive!
A faint light pierced through the boundless void, flying in from the Westernmost Land of the Divine Kingdom.
The light landed, unfurling like a Mountain and River Scroll. From within, more than a hundred martial artists of imnse might erged!
This scene unfolded just outside Cold Poison City.
A rogue cultivator in the second-level Disaster Slaying Realm from the Divine Kingdom happened to witness this. Sucking in a cold breath, he turned and fled without hesitation.
“The Netherworld Map! Du Ye Hall’s most precious treasure! The opportunities here have drawn the great powers of this realm! There’s no doubt Heavenly Dao Palace will co too. When that happens, escape may no longer be possible!” the rogue cultivator thought to himself.
Du Ye Hall’s Hall Master, Li Fan Yi, led ten powerful Asura martial artists, using the “Absolute Weapon” Netherworld Map as a bridge to arrive in Cold Poison City ahead of the Innate Dao Palace!
“Hmph! They certainly arrived quickly. Enter imdiately and find the Poison Tablet first. Avoid Heavenly Dao Palace if possible!” Li Fan Yi said coldly, casting a glance upward before entering Cold Poison City without hesitation.
Just three breaths later, a blinding radiance descended, revealing ten figures shimring between the real and the unreal in the sky above Cold Poison City.
The Heavenly Dao Palace’s ten powerhouses had arrived!
“Li Fan Yi… So, Du Ye Hall. We failed to eradicate them last ti and hadn’t expected them to rise from the ashes. Yet now they dare to defy the will of heaven. My fellow elders, it’s ti we loosen up a bit and exercise our fists!”
Xuanyuan Han sensed the aura of a familiar foe and spoke coldly.
The other nine elders of Heavenly Dao Palace treated Xuanyuan Han with utmost respect, submitting to his command.
Xuanyuan Han, akin to a god reigning high above the Nine Heavens, issued a judgnt to all beings: “Eliminate Samsara Master’s successors, kill Li Fan Yi, and slaughter all life within Cold Poison City!”
The arrival of Heavenly Dao Palace’s ten powerhouses sent their boundless aura rippling across the heavens, causing the entire region to tremble violently.
The eerie poisonous mist enveloping Cold Poison City suddenly underwent strange changes, wisps of black and red gas erging to thicken the fog and darken the skies even further.
“Ahhhh!!”
A chorus of agonized screams rose as the poisonous mist’s suppression on martial artists’ strength intensified!
Several martial artists who had recently stepped into the late-stage Great Void Realm found themselves tainted by the newly erged black-red gas, their protective spiritual shields dissolved as poison infiltrated their bodies. Caught off guard, they perished instantly!
“The Reincarnation Tablet, a defiance of heaven itself, seems to have reacted to the presence of Heavenly Dao’s power. Such a phenonon… Elder Han, the suppression we’ll face here will likely be several tis more severe than that imposed on others…” one of the Heavenly Dao Palace powerhouses frowned with concern and spoke.
This man was “Demon Suppressing Ancestor,” holding the ninth-level Disaster Slaying realm.
