Spirit Devouring Poison?

Upon hearing the words of the Myriad Poison Ancestor specifically reminding him, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized that this so-called Spirit Devouring Poison must be the poison researched by Niu Geng and Zi Xiang. But what exactly was this Spirit Devouring Poison? Why would the Myriad Poison Ancestor specifically warn him to be careful?

"I know, thank you for your concern, Fourth Elder." Although he was secretly surprised, Zhuge Xiang did not intend to ask for clarification in the Myriad Poison Great Hall. He waved his hand and left the Myriad Poison Mountain with Niu Geng, Zi Xiang, and Mo Lingna.

This battle allowed Mo Lingna to grasp the Eagle Demon Claw, and her cultivation reached the peak of the Dao Seeking Realm. With the power of her Nine Beast Forbidden Canon, it was quite a helpful asset.

"By the way, Niu Geng, what exactly is that Spirit Devouring Poison? Why is even Myriad Poison Elder so concerned about it?" After returning to Futuo Mountain, the four of them sat together for a small gathering, and Zhuge Xiang asked Niu Geng.

"The Spirit Devouring Poison is the poison we two researched a few days ago. As we both entered the Deity Transformation stage, we've finally made some progress with this Spirit Devouring Poison, but it hasn't reached its strongest level yet." Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's question, Niu Geng didn't try to hide anything and told Zhuge Xiang all the information about the Spirit Devouring Poison.

The Spirit Devouring Poison was originally something that Niu Geng accidentally created while refining Toxins. He originally wanted to create Toxins that would paralyze the body, but after failing, Niu Geng accidentally came into contact with a little bit of it and discovered that this Spirit Devouring Poison could actually devour his spiritual energy to grow.

When Niu Geng first came into contact with the Spirit Devouring Poison Eater, his cultivation level actually dropped from the Eighth Layer of Return to Simplicity Realm to Return to Simplicity Realm Fifth Layer level.

Fortunately, the Spirit Devouring Poison created unintentionally wasn't strong enough, which allowed Niu Geng Spirit Devouring Poison completely eliminate it.

It can devour the spiritual energy of its target to strengthen itself? Niu Geng discovered this aspect of the Spirit Devouring Poison -Spirit Devouring Poison, which made him clearly feel its power. Therefore, from then on, Niu Geng delved into the research of this Spirit Devouring Poison and continuously improved it.

At first, the Spirit Devouring Poison could only continuously devour the target's spiritual energy to strengthen itself. However, as long as one's cultivation was strong enough, it was possible to remove all the Spirit Devouring Poison in one go. Therefore, after so much refinement, the Spirit Devouring Poison created by Niu Geng became more concealed, as difficult to remove as a maggot clinging to the bone. It even seemed to circulate within the body like a living thing, constantly evading the capture of spiritual energy.

After the eldest disciple of Ten Myriad Poison Mountain discovered Niu Geng's Spirit Devouring Poison, he demanded that Niu Geng hand over the method for refining the Spirit Devouring Poison. However, having poured so much of his effort into this achievement, how could Niu Geng easily give it away to someone else?

Therefore, after a fierce battle, the eldest disciple of Wan Myriad Poison Mountain was poisoned by Niu Geng's Spirit Devouring Poison. His Golden Core Stage cultivation was completely devoured by the Spirit Devouring Poison. In the end, the billions of Spirit Devouring Poison in his body directly poisoned the Myriad Poison Mountain's Eldest Disciple to death after he lost his cultivation.

"Oh? The Spirit Devouring Poison? You actually researched such a powerful and domineering Toxins?" Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback after hearing Niu Geng's explanation of the Spirit Devouring Poison, and said in surprise.

Even Zhuge Xiang, now a man of great experience, was shocked by this Spirit Devouring Poison. It was like a maggot clinging to a bone, impossible to remove, and it could continuously devour the spiritual energy of others to strengthen itself? This Spirit Devouring Poison was truly terrifying.

"This poison was discovered by chance. Although it has taken shape, it is not yet fully researched. It is effective against Nascent Deity Transformation and even many Void Returning Stage cultivators, but it is not enough against top-tier experts. Therefore, I need to further enhance the concealment and flexibility of the Spirit Devouring Poison," Niu Geng said, shaking his head at Zhuge Xiang's praise. He was still not satisfied with the Spirit Devouring Poison.

"Your achievements far exceed my expectations. You now possess the strength to kill Void Returning Stage expert," Zhuge Xiang said to Niu Geng with a mixture of admiration and joy. With his cultivation at the initial Deity Transformation stage, he already had the ability to poison Void Returning Stage Cultivator. Zhuge Xiang was happy for his achievement with this Spirit Devouring Poison.

"I know you'll be facing many powerful opponents lately. Wait a few days, and I'll refine some of the Spirit Devouring Poison for you to take with you," Niu Geng said happily to Zhuge Xiang valued his Spirit Devouring Poison. Niu Geng was also very happy to be able to help Zhuge Xiang.

"I know that your current Spirit Devouring Poison is not enough for you to deal with experts above the Tribulation Crossing Realm, but it should be enough to deal with Cultivator below the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and it will also prevent you from being surrounded by too many powerful opponents," Niu Geng added before Zhuge Xiang could answer.

"Then I'll trouble you," Zhuge Xiang said, nodding, upon hearing that Niu Geng's Spirit Devouring Poison could deal with Cultivator below the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

If it can handle Cultivator below the Tribulation Crossing Realm, then using this Spirit Devouring Poison to clear the field is indeed perfect. After all, this Spirit Devouring Poison can continuously devour the spiritual energy of the enemy to grow stronger. Who can guarantee that the Spirit Devouring Poison cultivated with dozens of Void Returning Stage experts as nourishment will not cause terrible damage to the Tribulation Crossing Realm or even Great Accomplishment Stage Realm Cultivator?

"You need to be careful when using the Spirit Devouring Poison. It's effective when you're poisoning someone, but if you kill them and there's no spiritual energy to nourish them, the Spirit Devouring Poison will completely lose its effect within half an incense stick's time. Therefore, if you want to make a large quantity of Spirit Devouring Poison, you must ensure that the Toxins reaches the next target within half an incense stick's time after it kills the previous one," Niu Geng reminded Zhuge Xiang about the characteristics of the Spirit Devouring Poison. This characteristic is actually to prevent the terrifying spread of the Spirit Devouring Poison.

"Okay, I've got it," Zhuge Xiang nodded and said, taking it to heart.

In the following days, Zhuge Xiang was relatively calm. Mo Lingna took advantage of these days to consolidate her cultivation at the Tenth Layer of the Dao Seeking Realm, while Niu Geng and Zi Xiang were busy refining the Spirit Devouring Poison for Zhuge Xiang.

As for Zhuge Xiang, he was also consolidating his cultivation. He was at the eighth level of the Spirit Severing Realm. Although his cultivation was strong, his growth rate was too fast, and he needed more time and experience to stabilize his realm.

However, the peaceful days were destined to be short-lived. Just a few days after Zhuge Xiang obtained a small amount of the Spirit Devouring Poison, Luo Ba, Luo Ba Sect Master of the Asura Sect and Zhuge Xiang's Master, returned to the Asura Sect. Moreover, Luo Ba brought a shocking message: war! War against the Great Qin Imperial Family!

War?! War against the Great Qin Imperial Family?! It has to be said that the news brought by Luo Ba deeply shocked the entire Asura Sect.

The Great Qin Empire possessed Imperial Clan resources of the entire empire, and Imperial Clan power far surpassed that of any Large Sect. It's worth noting that the Great Qin Imperial Family army alone numbered in the tens of millions of soldiers.

In the Sect Master's Great Hall of the Asura Sect, Luo Ba sat high on the Sect Master's throne. As for the 108 elders of the Asura Sect, all of them who had time came to the Great Hall. This news concerned the life and death of the entire Asura Sect, so naturally, all the elders of the Asura Sect had to know this news.

"Sect Master, why are we suddenly going to war with the Imperial Clan? Is it possible that we, the Asura Sect, are capable of this?" After a long while, following the shock caused by Luo Ba's news, an elder finally spoke up and asked Luo Ba.

"Hehehe, I've been fed up with that Imperial Clan for a long time. War? Great..." However, compared to their worries, many elders of the Asura Sect were eager to try and couldn't wait to take action. Over the years, many elders of the Asura Sect had been aware of the Great Qin Imperial Family's secret actions against the Asura Sect. Now, was it finally time to vent their anger?

"No, facing the entire Great Qin Imperial Family, the strength of our Asura Sect alone is far from enough," Luo Ba said in response to the elders' questions. "Besides our Asura Sect, there are also the Myriad Monster Kingdom, the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Yin Yang Demonic Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Temple, as well as the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the founding general of Great Qin, and the God of Slaughter Bai Qi— two peerless experts whose strength is no less than mine."

"The strongest of the Nine Great Sects is actually the Myriad Monster Kingdom, Heavenly Dragon Temple, Yin Yang Demonic Sect..." As Luo Ba's words fell, the elders in the Great Hall widened their eyes.

It seems that four of the Nine Great Sects have joined the rebellion, and there's also the East Sea Dragon Palace, a force stronger than any of the Large Sect. Therefore, it appears that there is indeed hope of victory in a war against the Great Qin Imperial Family.

"Moreover..." But after mentioning these incredibly powerful allied forces, Luo Ba didn't finish. He continued, "Furthermore, thanks to the efforts of General Bai Qi and myself, more than a third of the Great Qin Empire's army has expressed its support for us!"

"Alright! Let's do it!" After a moment of silence upon hearing this, the Asura Sect Hall erupted in shouts!

Although only one-third of the army supports the Asura Sect, it should be noted that at least half of the Great Qin Empire's army is unable to be mobilized due to its border defense duties. Therefore, in terms of military support, the Qin Empire already holds a significant advantage.

"Three days from now, at sunrise, will be the day we begin our battle..." Seeing the elders in the Asura Sect Hall jumping for joy, Luo Ba also smiled and gave his summary.

"Heavenly Dragon Temple and the Myriad Monster Kingdom have joined too? It seems there's real hope of overthrowing the Ying Clan's rule now," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile upon hearing that Heavenly Dragon Temple and the Myriad Monster Kingdom had also joined. (To be continued...)
