Amulet! Awakening!

Pulling Poison Fairy back a few steps, Long Han said, "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but I have already recognized a master. Forgive me, but I must refuse."

"Oh? What benefits did your master promise you to make you so utterly devoted? Why not come with me to meet the Corpse King? I'll put in a good word for you." Du Mingzi was still trying to persuade him.

"I've made my refusal clear. Please don't make things difficult for me, Senior."

Long Han was a little annoyed.

"Hmph! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Poison formation, rise!"

Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, Du Mingzi had no choice but to resort to force.

When Du Mingzi attacked, Long Han met him head-on.

Poison Fairy, supported at the side, did not sit idle. She hurriedly circulated her Qi to heal her injuries, ready to join the fight at any moment.

"Fairy, are you all right?"

The Venerables, having cleared away most of the corpses, hurried over to check on Poison Fairy.

"I'm fine. The battle to come is beyond what you can handle. Leave at once!"

Poison Fairy gazed coldly at Du Mingzi in the sky and ordered them to retreat.

"This... Then we'll withdraw to the city gates and await your triumphant return, Fairy!"

The dozen or so Venerables looked at one another. They knew the battle above was far beyond their strength, and joining it would only mean throwing their lives away. They could only wait at the city gates for news of Poison Fairy's victory.

Even if she lost, they would defend the city gates with their lives until the very last moment.

After everyone left, Poison Fairy adjusted her condition and flew toward the two men.

"Du Mingzi, what exactly happened that day?"

Poison Fairy desperately wanted to know what her mother had gone to do back then.

"Heh heh heh, want to know?"

"Speak!"

Du Mingzi said smugly, "Your mother died beneath my blade, heh heh heh!"

"What?! You!"

Hearing this, Poison Fairy was not only furious, but even more grief-stricken.

When she heard with her own ears that the person before her had killed her mother, her desire for revenge was completely ignited.

"I spread all those rumors. If Lord Corpse King weren't preparing for its plan, this city of yours and the entire Western Continent would have been mine long ago!"

"Lapdog! You're a disgrace to the Human Race!"

Hearing that her mother had been falsely accused for hundreds of years, Poison Fairy was enraged.

"Long Han, stand back. Today, I must kill this beast with my own hands and avenge my mother myself!"

Poison Fairy motioned for Long Han to withdraw. She wanted to finish this beast herself!

"Please be careful, Miss Poison Fairy. His strength is not to be underestimated."

Hearing this, Long Han silently retreated to the rear.

He had just tested Du Mingzi's strength. If he assumed his true form and fought with all his might, he could certainly kill him.

But with her mother's murderer right before her, Long Han had no reason to keep stealing the limelight. He needed to let Poison Fairy do this herself.

"Oh? You want to fight me to the death? Then let me show you the gap between us!"

Seeing Poison Fairy step forward alone, Du Mingzi shouted.

In any case, the young master had said nothing, so he would follow her instructions.

"Myriad Poison Palm!"

"Poison Transforms the Great Thousand!"

The two immediately began fighting.

Poison Fairy held absolutely nothing back, venting all the anger she had accumulated over the past century.

"Her moves are too light, and she lacks power. Poison Fairy has had too little time," the Heavenly Dao sighed.

If Poison Fairy had been given a few more decades, the battle before them would not have been so deadlocked.

"Heh, she's the child of fortune of your Weiyang Realm, after all. Do you really have so little faith in her?"

Ye Zichen glanced at the Heavenly Dao and sneered.

"Du Mingzi! Today, you must pay with your life!

"Poison Lament!"

Poison Fairy's attacks were continually neutralized, but Du Mingzi was not having an easy time of it either.

"Hmph! Damn it! You're still this troublesome? Then let me show you the Corrosion Qi Lord Corpse King gave me!"

Seeing the battle deadlocked, Du Mingzi first ordered the corpses under his command to continue their attack, then opened the bottle in his hand.

"This is bad! That thing of his is expanding the poison gas. Once it spreads in here, we won't be able to stop the corpse horde!"

Long Han cried out as he fended off the attacking corpses.

His lord still had not given him any orders. If he could not take the form of a true dragon and join the battle, the corpse horde would wear him down to death.

"Hmph! This is something Lord Corpse King spent a long time researching to make the poison gas evolve. Let's see what you do now!"

Bolstered by the Corrosion Qi, Du Mingzi's body continually recovered, and his strength grew even greater.

"Come on! Let's continue!"

Du Mingzi roared. He was stronger now than he had been moments ago, and boundless pressure swept across the entire battlefield.

"Despicable!"

Poison Fairy had already sustained several injuries. Watching this now, she was deeply unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do.

"Poison Withering Palm!"

Du Mingzi struck directly at her with his palm. Poison Fairy took the blow head-on and barely managed to neutralize it, but she spat out a great mouthful of blood.

"Today, you must die here and go meet your mother! Heh heh heh!"

The wicked smile on Du Mingzi's face grew wider and wider. He felt that victory was already in his grasp.

The outer barrier had been breached. Whether it was the Venerables defending the city or Long Han fighting off the corpse tide below, none of them could hold back the endlessly reviving corpses any longer.

Faced with the situation before her, Poison Fairy was filled with despair.

"Mother, what should I do?"

She touched the last keepsake her mother had left her, tucked against her chest, and a sense of grievance welled up in her heart.

"Is it finally going to take effect?"

Seeing this, Ye Zichen finally grew interested.

"It's only an immortal treasure. Why do you care so much about it, my lord?" the Heavenly Dao asked in puzzlement.

What treasures did Lord Immortal Emperor not possess? He had more saint artifacts than could be counted. Although emperor artifacts were difficult to make recognize a master, this lord might have those too!

"What I'm watching is more than this mere immortal treasure. When watching a show, a scene like this, where one finds a way to survive in a desperate situation, is exactly what one watches for."

Ye Zichen simply wanted to see what Poison Fairy could accomplish. Otherwise, this trip to the Western Continent would probably have ended when he slapped the Corpse King to death at the very beginning.

As Poison Fairy's feelings of grievance, longing, and anger rose, a green spiritual light flashed from her chest!

"This... this is!"

Before she could recover from her surprise, the green spiritual light entered Poison Fairy's mind.

Poison Fairy saw a breathtakingly beautiful figure, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mother... I miss you so much..."

"My daughter, I leave the future of the Western Continent to you."

The woman smiled with great tenderness.

Slowly, her figure began to fade.

"Mother... don't go..."

In her mind, her mother's figure gradually faded away.

In the real world, Poison Fairy slowly opened her eyes. At that moment, the immortal treasure Extreme Yin Immortal Poison and the Myriad Poison Immortal Physique completely fused!

Poison Fairy stepped into the Peak Half-Immortal realm!

With a wave of Poison Fairy's hand, the poison gas within tens of thousands of li dispersed at once!

"This! What's going on?!"

"Beast! It's time for you to die!"

The voice of judgment rang out across the entire battlefield!
