The True Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly

Xie Biyan was brimming with grandeur, seemingly willing to expend all of Chu Yun Empire's resources just to win Su Yun's favor.

Although a poison-attributed Dou Zong could not refine poisons to raise their cultivation like someone with the Woeful Poison Body, cultivating certain specific poison arts was still necessary.

Hai Bodong and the others wore strange expressions. Xie Biyan had arrived with such fierce momentum just moments ago, nothing like this.

Su Yun smiled faintly. "Why go to all that trouble? Kill you, and the entire Chu Yun Empire will belong to This Sect Master."

"Even if your cultivation is heaven-defying, how could you possibly contend against the strength of three Dou Zongs?

"Besides, our three nations possess formidable armies. How could a mere Jia Ma Empire compare!"

Xie Biyan spoke coldly as purple-black poisonous mist churned in his palm. Yan Luotian unfurled his golden wings, while the three members of the Mu Lan Three Elders circulated their cultivation art, stacking one man's strength up to the Dou Zong Realm.

On the ground, the allied armies of the three nations let out earth-shaking battle cries at once. Their voices swept across the land like a tsunami as countless war banners snapped in the gale, and clashing iron armor created a thunderous uproar.

"Then what if you add my Snake-People Race to the equation!"

Just then, a chilling voice rang out. From the distant horizon, five peak Dou Emperor Snake-People experts tore through the air. Behind them came the Snake-People army, their snake tails scraping against the ground with soft rustling sounds.

"The entire Snake-People Race has come to lend milord a hand!"

The Snake-People Race's Great Elder said solemnly.

"So the Jia Ma Empire truly has been colluding with the Snake-People Tribe!"

Xie Biyan snorted coldly.

Yan Luotian's expression was icy. "Old poisoner, their reinforcements have arrived. Are you still hoping for peace talks?"

"Then fight!"

Xie Biyan roared, Dou Qi gathering in his throat as the command spread throughout the alliance of the three nations.

"Kill!"

The armies clashed. The Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe joined forces against the allied armies of the three nations, while Dou Emperor experts such as Jia Xing Tian entered the fray one after another, their terrifying momentum sweeping across the earth.

High in the sky, every Dou Emperor and Dou Wang expert instinctively kept away from the region where Su Yun, Xie Biyan, and the others stood.

In a battle between Dou Zongs, even a Dou Emperor could lose their life if they were carelessly caught up in it.

"Boom—!"

Four entirely different Dou Zong auras intertwined in the void, forming a visible vortex of energy.

Xie Biyan and the others were shaken. The combined strength of their three Dou Zong-level combatants actually could not suppress Su Yun's aura?!

"Let's skip the probing. Show me what you can do."

Jade-green poisonous flames flickered in Su Yun's palm, their wild, violent blaze seemingly intent on setting even the void ablaze.

"A relic of the old era dares look down on us!"

Xie Biyan flew into a rage.

"Three Beasts Slaughter!"

Old Tiger shouted lowly, his arm muscles bulging as three savage streams of Dou Qi burst forth, transforming into a fierce tiger, a giant lion, and a violent bear! The three beasts lunged in formation!

"Ordinary."

Su Yun remained calm as the poisonous fire in his hand surged forth, swelling with the wind and instantly becoming a jade-green wall of flame spanning the heavens.

The moment the three beasts touched the fire wall, they let out shrill wails. Like ice and snow meeting boiling water, they rapidly melted and collapsed into wisps of black smoke.

"Tiger, lion, bear... your cultivation art is called the Three Beasts Savage Art, isn't it? Through a particular formation, it concentrates Dou Qi into one person, allowing them to temporarily reach the Dou Zong Realm.

"It sounds quite impressive, but in the end, it is merely the grafting of Dou Qi. For such an art to be ranked Earth-grade Mid-tier is truly giving it too much credit."

Su Yun unhurriedly analyzed the Three Beasts Savage Art as his five fingers quietly spread. The Nether Poison Flame in his palm abruptly changed, becoming three jade-green fire butterflies within a few breaths.

The three fire butterflies danced gracefully through the air, scattering sparks. Though their fragile-looking wings fluttered softly, tiny cracks were burned into space around their edges.

"Watch out!"

Xie Biyan's pupils contracted. "This seems to be his signature technique, the Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly!"

"It seems you have investigated This Sect Master's information."

A faintly amused smile touched Su Yun's lips.

By ordinary reasoning, one needed to understand an opponent well enough to find their weaknesses and defeat them in one stroke.

But he was different. Practice Falsehood to Achieve Truth—the more you believed, the more real he became... Your understanding would only make him stronger!

Xie Biyan had likely contributed greatly to the manifestation of the three Dou Techniques!

"The Three Beasts Savage Art grafts Dou Qi. While strengthening one person, it also causes the other two to enter a weakened state. In that case, as long as I attack all of you at once, your true forms will be exposed!"

Su Yun flicked his finger, and the three jade-green fire butterflies abruptly flapped their wings. Wherever they passed, space was scorched into warped black marks, emitting sharp sizzling sounds.

The Mu Lan Three Elders' expressions changed drastically. Old Tiger raised a Dou Qi defense, but his eyes were filled with terror. Perhaps he could survive this strike, but what about his other two brothers?!

"Don't even think about it!"

Xie Biyan shouted fiercely, thrusting out both palms as terrifying poison power attacked Su Yun. Yan Luotian beat his wings and raced forward with gale-like speed, intending to save Old Lion and Old Bear.

"Then I'll deal with you first!"

Su Yun threw out his right fist, wrapped in Nether Poison Flame. Wherever his fist passed, space warped and shattered with a shriek like ghosts wailing!

Xie Biyan's face filled with horror. He could only respond in panic, his withered hands rapidly forming seals. "Jade Scale Sky Barrier!"

In an instant, countless scales of dark-green poisonous gas condensed before him, forming a solid barrier.

"Break!"

Su Yun's expression turned cold as the force of his fist surged. The seemingly impregnable poisonous barrier was punched through like thin paper, and terrifying flames spread along the cracks until the entire barrier was burned away.

"Pfft!"

The fist's remaining force slammed brutally into Xie Biyan's chest, making him spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood.

"Damn it!"

Xie Biyan's face was filled with fury. Borrowing the momentum of Su Yun's heavy punch, he swiftly retreated.

I took a hit, but thankfully it's only a light injury. As long as the Mu Lan Three Elders aren't dead, then...

Thinking this, Xie Biyan turned to assess the others' situation, only for his pupils to shrink.

Yan Luotian gripped Old Lion and Old Tiger in either hand as he sped through the sky. Yet behind the three of them, two jade-green fire butterflies remained firmly locked onto them, impossible to shake off no matter what they did!

"What is this?!"

Xie Biyan clenched his fists.

"Soul locking, a minor technique used by alchemists. As long as one's Soul Power reaches a certain level, it can be performed... Hmm, this method is widespread in the Central Plains, but this is the Northwest Continent. It is normal that you do not know it."

Su Yun chuckled. "Unless those two die, my fire butterflies will never stop."

"No choice!"

Yan Luotian's expression hardened as he abruptly released both men.

"No!"

Old Lion and Old Bear revealed looks of despair. They hurriedly spread their own Dou Qi Wings and fled, but at their speed, the fire butterflies quickly caught up to them.

"Boom—!"

A heaven-shaking explosion of energy erupted, and towering jade flames dyed the sky green as the two men's bodies turned to ash within the Nether Poison Flame.
