The Ancestral Dragon's True Form! The Corpse King Appears

"Hmph! So what if you've reached the Peak Half-Immortal realm? I'm the master of this Western Continent!"

Seeing that Poison Fairy had reached the Peak Half-Immortal realm, Du Mingzi dared not be careless and began chanting an incantation.

Then all the remaining zombies charged straight at Poison Fairy!

"Long Han, it's time to put on a show."

Ye Zichen's voice entered Long Han's mind.

Now that Poison Fairy had finally succeeded in merging with the immortal treasure and attained the perfect Myriad Poison Immortal Physique, Ye Zichen ordered Long Han to show what he could do.

"As you command, Young Master Ye!"

Hearing this, Long Han finally stopped holding back.

A flash of golden light burst forth!

"What's that?"

Poison Fairy and Du Mingzi were both stunned.

With a dragon's roar, a golden dragon filled the sky above the entire Poison Control City!

"A true dragon? A flood dragon of the Demon Race actually attained a true dragon's body?!"

Du Mingzi could hardly believe it. Everyone said flood dragons had mixed bloodlines and their true dragon bloodline barely manifested, yet in this age, a flood dragon had actually become a true dragon!

"I never expected Long Han to really be the same race as his surname!"

Poison Fairy smiled, and her smile was breathtakingly beautiful.

"The dead should enter the cycle of reincarnation. Rest in peace."

Long Han gazed at the zombies with pity. They had once been living beings of the Western Continent, but now they had been turned into walking corpses, unable to rest even in death.

Then a dragon's roar shook the heavens!

Every zombie within the tens of thousands of miles where Poison Fairy had dispersed the poisonous gas stopped its frenzied movements and vanished like dust and smoke.

"No! This can't be! Impossible!"

At the sight, Du Mingzi finally panicked!

"Now it's your turn, Du Mingzi!"

Poison Fairy turned back, looked at Du Mingzi before her, and coldly pronounced his death sentence!

"You! You and your meddlesome mother both deserve to die!"

Du Mingzi unleashed his full presence. He would make one final struggle with this last attack!

"Poison Extinguishes All Under Heaven!"

Green mist spread endlessly across the sky with Du Mingzi at its center. Countless living beings wailed within the mist: they were the souls of the dead!

Without hesitation, Poison Fairy raised a dagger she had never taken out before. It was a little trinket her mother had given her for protection when she was young, and she had carried it with her ever since.

"You! Go to hell!"

She threw the dagger, and backed by her Peak Half-Immortal cultivation, it pierced straight through Du Mingzi's body.

Then it turned, pierced back through him, and returned to Poison Fairy's hand.

"No! No! I can't die yet! Lord Corpse King, save me!"

Du Mingzi's face twisted as his body split apart, until he finally exploded in midair.

"Mother, I've avenged you..."

At that moment, Poison Fairy finally could not hold back her tears.

Behind her, Long Han returned to human form and stood in the air above Poison Control City.

"My lord, are you satisfied with this show?"

The Heavenly Dao asked Ye Zichen how he felt about it now.

"What belonged to her, she seized."

Ye Zichen looked at Poison Fairy and gave his approval.

Since that thing had been her mother's hope for her, it had not been in vain.

"I'll take over the rest of the proceedings for you."

Ye Zichen spoke to the Heavenly Dao.

"Thank you, my lord. With you taking action, what do I have to worry about?"

The Heavenly Dao sighed. With this lord taking action, he could expend less of his own power of Heavenly Dao rules. He had only recently awakened, and already he had such a mess on his hands. It had been giving him a headache.

Boom!

Below, the ground kept splitting open. In the distance, something was gathering.

"Hm? Not good! Get inside the barrier behind you, quickly! Hurry!"

Poison Fairy was naturally referring to the Venerables still celebrating her victory at the city gates, but it was too late.

Several ugly, rotting hands reached over from the distance, attacking Long Han, Poison Fairy, and the dozen or so Venerables.

The Venerables had no time to react and were slaughtered in a gruesome sight.

Long Han and Poison Fairy defended themselves in time and were unharmed.

"Excellent. You are the complete form I need!"

The speaker was none other than the Corpse King, though, looking at his horribly decayed appearance, he could hardly be called a person.

"I've waited a long time for this day. I even have to thank Du Mingzi for helping you attain the perfect immortal physique!"

The Corpse King gazed at Poison Fairy, his greed laid bare.

"Originally, I planned to capture you after you obtained the Hundred Poison Fruit. It wouldn't have been perfect, but it would have been enough. But since you finally absorbed that thing, refining you now will be perfect!"

With the Extreme Yin Immortal Poison and the Myriad Poison Immortal Physique, the Corpse King would become the only living corpse immortal in the world if he succeeded!

"So you've had your eye on me for a long time."

Poison Fairy was calm. In a situation like this, she could no longer back down.

"But we're both at the Peak Half-Immortal realm now. Are you really confident you can defeat me?"

Poison Fairy spoke provocatively.

"Hahahahaha! You seem to think I can't do anything to you?"

The Corpse King stomped, and a rotting hand just like the one before reached out of the ground beneath Poison Fairy.

"Wh-what's going on?!"

Poison Fairy was shocked. Why couldn't she resist a technique like this?

"After Du Mingzi killed your mother, I went to great lengths to extract her Myriad Poison Immortal Physique. Her pathetically fragile barrier could hold back the Corpse Qi for a time, but it can't withstand me as I am now!"

The Corpse King smashed a fist into the barrier, shattering it instantly. Under his control, the Corpse Qi began spreading toward the other continents.

The Myriad Poison Immortal Physique he had refined back then was now the Law Treasure being used to bind Poison Fairy.

"Stop, you beast! You can't do this!"

Long Han suddenly flew into a rage. If something like this reached his Southern Frontier, his clansmen would be finished!

"Oh? Right, right, there's you too, with your true dragon bloodline. No rush. I'll deal with you after I kill her!"

As the Corpse King spoke the last word, a revolting mass of rotten matter shot toward Long Han.

But then,

"What's going on?"

The Corpse King was deeply puzzled to see that the attack he had launched had vanished.

"You dare lay a hand on my mount?"

A voice rang out from the clouds like the descent of the Heavenly Dao, and Ye Zichen slowly walked down from them, one step at a time.

Every cloud served as a stair for Ye Zichen. At that moment, his entrance shook everyone to the core!

"Oh? You must be that sword immortal from the Central Continent Du Mingzi reported to me about before?"

Seeing Ye Zichen make his entrance with the bearing of an immortal descended to the mortal world, the Corpse King immediately thought of the sword immortal Du Mingzi had reported to him about-the one whose single sword strike had awed Weiyang!

"What? He's that sword immortal?"

Poison Fairy was shocked to hear this. Everyone on every continent had seen that sword strike, and she was naturally no exception.

But now he was telling her it had been this taciturn ice-block face?!

"I've lost interest in this show. It's time to bring it to an end."

Ye Zichen ignored the Corpse King's question and waved Long Han and Poison Fairy back to his side.
