" Withering Poison Palm!"
The old man with the distorted face moved swiftly, naturally appearing in front of Xiao Yan. Black and purple Dou Qi rapidly condensed in his palm, and his old eyes flashed with light as he slammed his palm fiercely towards Xiao Yan's face.
Xiao Yan was not afraid at all. He was just a Five-Star Half-Emperor. He had even killed the Eight-Star Half-Emperor, the Cloud-Splitting Wolf. What could this ugly old man do to him?
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan met the old man's palm head-on with a fierce strike.
" Ancient Emperor Seal!"
Even with this High Earth Class Dou Technique, Half-Emperor level expert would find it extraordinary and imposing in his hands!
When these two things touched, the heavens and earth trembled. Even though the cultivators were far away, some of the weaker ones still coughed up blood.
Even the stronger ones couldn't help but have a trickle of blood at the corner of their mouths, and their faces instantly turned pale.
The Half-Emperor level expert truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest being on the Origin Martial Continent. Even at a distance of tens of thousands of miles, he regarded everything as nothing.
The two exchanged blows with a single palm strike, separating instantly. A violent explosion reverberated between them, the immense force causing tiny cracks to appear in the void, as if the entire void would collapse instantly with just a little more force.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
" Poison Xuan Finger!"
Just as the two were forced back a step by each other, Xiao Yan and the old man in front of him moved again. With a thought, Xiao Yan unleashed the Eight Extremes Collapse, and a flying kick swept towards the old man.
The old man was equally unwilling to be outdone. His withered hand clenched into a fist, and a finger carrying Holding Up the Heavens power slammed towards Xiao Yan's flying kick.
Although the old man looked ferocious and was as thin as a rake, even worse than an ordinary old man, his aura was incredibly powerful and domineering, completely contrary to his physical appearance.
The old man's finger strike was powerful, but Xiao Yan's attack, the Eight Extremes Blast, was equally formidable.
With the enhancement from the Eight Extremes Collapse, Xiao Yan's physical strength has reached an extremely terrifying level. If it were just a matter of physical strength, he could probably hold his own against a Half-Emperor of equal strength without being at a disadvantage!
Each finger and leg, carrying a terrifying aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, rapidly approached.
The already crumbling void, under such terrifying force, finally could not bear it and exploded with a roar, transforming into an endless, pitch-black Endless Void.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yan's leg collided fiercely with the finger strike. The old man's expression changed immediately. He hadn't expected the young man's body to be so incredibly strong. He was actually struggling to withstand the blow.
On the other hand, after the powerful Dou Qi between the two canceled each other out, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's fierce strength became prominent. His powerful physical strength made him invincible. No matter how powerful the old man in front of him was, he could not harm Xiao Yan in the slightest.
"Hmph! Boy, don't think you can defeat me just because you have some strength. To fight me, strength alone is not enough!"
The old man suffered a loss in the attack, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yan with a cold smile and said...
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed deep in Xiao Yan's eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips as he replied with a cold laugh:
"Then what do you mean by that?"
The old man was somewhat angry at Xiao Yan's feigned ignorance. This kid was already in trouble, yet he still dared to ask such a question. This really surprised him!
"Hmph! Arrogant brat! My Withering Poison Palm and Poison Xuan Finger are advanced techniques of the Central Region's super power, the Tribulation Crossing Sect. Both are renowned for their extreme poison, and when combined, their toxicity multiplies exponentially. Now that you are already poisoned, you still dare to be so arrogant! You are truly courting death!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. The Tribulation Crossing Sect, a power in the Central Region... Could this old man be from the Central Region?
"Oh? The Tribulation Crossing Sect, huh? It still exists. I just wonder if it's the same Tribulation Crossing Sect Tribulation Crossing Sect as before..."
Suddenly, Gu You's slightly wistful voice drifted into Xiao Yan's heart, causing Xiao Yan to raise an eyebrow once again.
Just how long has this Tribulation Crossing Sect existed that even Gu You is filled with awe?
" Elder Gu, are you familiar with this Tribulation Crossing Sect?"
Hearing Gu You's sigh, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask, and Gu You smiled faintly to himself, replying to Xiao Yan:
" The Tribulation Crossing Sect was established five thousand years ago. Its founder was a powerful figure who had reached the Yuan Sheng realm. Moreover, his identity is the same as that little girl you met in Qingyang City —he also Woeful Poison Body!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's spirits jolted, his heart filled with astonishment. The Tribulation Crossing Sect was actually founded by the Woeful Poison Body!
Moreover, what is most unbelievable is that the person who possessed the Woeful Poison Body was actually as powerful as the Origin Yuan Sheng Realm!
The Yuan Sheng Realm—that kind of strength represents the true top powerhouses of the entire Origin Martial Continent!
But in an instant, Xiao Yan frowned again, and couldn't help but have some doubts. Back then, when Xiao Yi Xian was only at the Dou Zun level, her Woeful Poison Body was already difficult to control. If she hadn't gathered the Magic Core of the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast and many other rare and precious materials, she probably wouldn't have been able to control it either!
But now, that ancient Woeful Poison Body has reached the strength of the Yuan Sheng Realm. How could Xiao Yan not be suspicious of such a difference?
"No need to overthink it, that person's strength has indeed reached the Yuan Sheng realm, and the Woeful Poison Body within her body has not yet erupted..."
"Um?"
The fact that it hasn't erupted means that the person's Woeful Poison Body hasn't been fundamentally suppressed!
"Hey, she's no ordinary person. Since she began cultivating, every time her Woeful Poison Body erupted, she forcefully suppressed it, and even on the day she perished, she remained the same..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was once again startled. This person was truly extraordinary, and the unwavering conviction in his heart was unparalleled in the world!
Just as Xiao Yan was about to ask something again, the old man suddenly trembled, and his palm rapidly gathered purplish-black Dou Qi, striking Xiao Yan with another palm strike.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned, let out a cold snort, his body trembled, and his Dou Qi surged from his palm. He clenched his right hand into a fist and clashed with the old man's fist.
