Chen Xuanhai stared at Chu Yunfei's calm, expressionless face, a sudden chill running through him. He asked in a deep voice, "Boy, what do you mean?"
Chu Yunfei replied calmly, "A dying man need not know."
Chen Xuanhai frowned slightly.
Something's not right.
The young man's composure did not seem like a bluff.
A junior at the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, facing the encirclement and attack of two experts at the Divine Sea Realm, not only did not flee, but also took the initiative to stop, and his words were full of contempt for them.
This is very unusual.
Chen Xuanhai's intuition told him that things might not be as simple as he imagined.
He began to secretly prepare, his Divine Sea Realm spiritual power quietly circulating within him, ready to deal with any possible changes.
However, Han Kui, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain himself.
Chu Yunfei's arrogant attitude completely ignited the anger in his heart.
He had been humiliated in front of Chu Yunfei at the auction, and then ignored by the kid for half a day; the anger in his heart had already reached its peak.
"Playing tricks!" Han Kui let out a cold laugh like an owl. "I'd like to see what you're capable of to dare spout such nonsense!"
Before he finished speaking, a flash of black light appeared from his withered sleeve.
boom!
A colossal figure, three zhang tall, crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
It was a war puppet with a grayish-green body, its entire body shrouded in visible corpse energy, and each of its four thick arms held a heavy weapon: a giant hammer, a broadsword, a longsword, and an iron hook.
This is a poisonous corpse battle puppet that Han Kui painstakingly crafted over decades using the corpse of a poison cultivator at the Divine Sea Realm Third Level. It is also one of his strongest trump cards.
The moment the war puppet appeared, a putrid, corpse-poisonous aura quickly spread out, causing the vegetation within a radius of dozens of feet to wither and rot at a visible speed, and even the hard rock surfaces showed signs of corrosion.
"Die!"
Han Kui let out a cold shout.
A red light flashed in the eyes of the Poison Corpse Battle Puppet, and its four arms moved in unison, instantly locking onto Chu Yunfei with a violent killing intent.
The two arms at the top gripped a giant hammer, and with the force of Mount Tai crashing down, they slammed it down on Chu Yunfei's head!
Even before the hammer fell, the resulting gale-force winds were already suffocating.
Chu Yunfei finally moved.
He didn't dodge, but instead drew the Abyss-Devouring Sword from his waist and parried with it.
clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed far and wide in the silent, desolate mountains.
A tremendous force surged through the sword, causing Chu Yunfei's arm to go numb and his entire body to uncontrollably stagger back three steps.
Each step left a deep footprint on the ground.
Before he could regain his footing, the war puppet's second attack followed.
The broadsword and longsword clashed and slashed, blocking all his angles of evasion.
Chu Yunfei had no choice but to once again parry with his sword.
boom!
This time, he was hit head-on and his body was thrown back again, taking a full seven steps before he could barely regain his footing.
A tearing pain shot through his hand, and a trickle of blood slowly seeped out from the hilt of his sword. His black robe was also torn in several places by the force of the energy.
The difference in pure strength between the battle puppets at the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm and the Divine Sea Realm Third Level was laid bare at this moment.
Seeing this, Chen Xuanhai, who had been on guard the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought this kid was hiding some amazing trump card, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even withstand Han Kui's battle puppet.
It seems that his composure just now was indeed just a bluff.
He's just an arrogant young man who doesn't know his own limitations.
Han Kui burst into loud laughter, his laughter filled with smugness and disdain.
"Hahaha! Is this all the skill you've got? You dare to spout such nonsense?"
"You can't even withstand my battle puppet, yet you dare to dream of killing Divine Sea Realm? What a joke!"
Seeing that Chu Yunfei could only parry the attacks of the battle puppets, his killing intent grew stronger, and he immediately gave the order.
"Pour poison into his wounds, let him taste the agony of being devoured by a thousand ants!"
The armor on the war puppet's chest cracked open, spewing out billowing gray-green poisonous mist.
The poisonous fog spread out, instantly covering an area of several dozen feet in radius. The corpse poison it contained was extremely corrosive, enough to turn a Heavenly Origin Realm martial artist, bones and all, into a puddle of pus within just a few breaths.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanhai instinctively took a few steps back, holding his breath to avoid being tainted by the insidious corpse energy.
Han Kui's smile grew increasingly sinister, as if he could already see Chu Yunfei struggling in agony within the poisonous fog, his flesh and blood dissolving in agony.
However, the smile on his face froze the next moment.
The expected screams did not come.
Within the poisonous fog, the figure in black remained standing silently, uncorroded, and instead, a layer of dark golden light shone around him.
Mysterious dark gold patterns began to appear on the back of his hand, quickly spreading to his neck and cheeks, and finally covering his entire body.
Unleash the full power of the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body!
The corpse poison, powerful enough to melt metal and stone, was completely devoured the moment it touched his body, like rivers flowing into the sea, and transformed into the purest nutrients.
Chu Yunfei was not only unharmed, but his blood and qi, which had been somewhat fluctuating due to taking the attack from the battle puppet, recovered at an extremely fast speed, even becoming more abundant than before.
The dark gold patterns beneath the skin shone even brighter under the nourishment of the poisonous mist.
"This... this is..."
Han Kui's expression shifted from ferocity to astonishment, and finally to disbelief and shock.
He stared intently at the figure in the poisonous fog, its body glowing with dark gold patterns, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of a pinhole.
A word that only existed in ancient books and legends was uncontrollably squeezed out of his throat.
" The Myriad Poison Tyrant Body?! How is that possible!"
Chen Xuanhai, standing to the side, blurted out, "The legendary Myriad Poison Tyrant Body!"
Both of them had eyes filled with horror.
This kind of constitution, which only exists in legends, is born immune to all the world's poisons and can even devour deadly poisons, turning them into nutrients for its own growth.
The stronger the toxicity, the greater the benefit to the individual.
Han Kui's famous corpse poison tactics are a complete joke in the face of this kind of physique!
His prized poisonous corpse battle puppets not only failed to harm the opponent in the slightest, but instead became a "miracle cure" that nourished the opponent!
How can we fight like this?
Having figured this out, Han Kui's face turned extremely ugly, and a sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
He never dreamed that he, Puppet Sect elder who had spent his entire life playing with poison, would one day encounter the legendary Myriad Poison Tyrant Body.
After a brief moment of shock, a surge of rage instantly overwhelmed Han Kui's reason.
Even without poison, I can still crush you!
He let out a roar, his hands forming a hand seal, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed into the battle puppet's body.
"War Puppet, unleash your full power! Tear him apart with pure force!"
Upon receiving the command, the Poison Corpse Battle Puppet raised its four arms high once more, unleashing its full power as Divine Sea Realm Third Level. The four heavy weapons, imbued with immense force, slammed down on Chu Yunfei once more.
Chen Xuanhai also recovered from his shock.
He snorted coldly, and azure spiritual energy surged in his palm.
Although the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body can counter poison techniques, Chu Yunfei's cultivation level is ultimately only at the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
As long as he is not given the chance to ingest the poison, with their combined cultivation at the Divine Sea Realm, they can still kill him on the spot by overwhelming him with sheer force!
We absolutely cannot let him leave here alive!
Otherwise, once he grows up, he will be an absolute nightmare for the Cangyun Sect.
Just as the two were about to join forces to completely annihilate Chu Yunfei,
The black-clad figure, who had been passively taking hits, slowly rose into the air.
Chu Yunfei closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and murmured softly.
"It's time."
The next moment, his brow suddenly lit up!
A deep red rune mark appeared out of thin air.
The mark seemed to awaken from the distant ancient times, carrying a vast, domineering, and terrifying aura that could burn the heavens and the earth.
The moment the mark lit up, the entire mountain forest trembled, and even the heavy dark clouds in the night sky were shaken apart by that invisible aura, revealing a corner of cold moonlight.
At the same time, inside Chu Yunfei's body.
Within the dantian's spiritual pool, the liquid spiritual energy was instantly ignited, transforming into a spark that could burn everything... Burning Spirit!
Boiling blood and qi surged with the vibrations of spiritual energy, coursing through the limbs and bones, forcibly pushing the physical body to its limits... Blood Burning!
Deep within the sea of consciousness, the immense power of the divine soul transformed into a sovereign that ruled over all, forcibly binding together the rampaging spiritual energy and blood, unleashing them in a single instant—the three elements united as one... Soul Burning!
Saint-level secret technique, Great Heaven-Burning Art!
Unleash your full power!
boom!
An indescribable, terrifying aura erupted from Chu Yunfei's body!
His robes fluttered and rustled even without wind, and the deep red mark between his brows shone like blood, its light almost enveloping his entire being.
His aura surged at an alarming rate!
Seventh Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
The Eighth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
The Heavenly Origin Realm Ninth Layer.
Divine Sea Realm First Level!
Finally, the surging aura steadily stopped at the Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
The entire mountain was desolate and lifeless.
The wind stopped, and the chirping of insects ceased.
Only the heavy breathing of Chen Xuanhai and Han Kui remained.
The contempt and murderous intent on their faces had vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep-seated horror and fear.
They stared in disbelief at Chu Yunfei, who was suspended in mid-air with his aura surging dozens of times, feeling as if their understanding had been completely overturned at this moment.
Chen Xuanhai's voice trembled with fear, completely devoid of the composure of Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer expert.
"What... what kind of secret technique is this?!"
" The Heavenly Origin Realm... actually managed to forcibly enter the Divine Sea Realm?!"
Chu Yunfei slowly opened his eyes.
He gripped the Abyss-Devouring Sword tightly in his hand. The dark gold patterns on the sword seemed to echo the deep red mark between his brows, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.
His gaze was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, as if he were looking at two lifeless corpses.
"You two."
"Now... it's my turn."
