Episode 137

  "Boom!"

  A loud noise echoed through the mountain, and dozens of feet away, a figure fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  "Ah! Feng Chengxiao, I swear to kill you!"

  A loud roar of resentment burst out like a sea. The giant stone figure shook and swayed, standing on one leg, with an increased venomous glare in its eyes. Next to it, a severed leg lay on the ground, covered in blood. The broken area was a blur of flesh and blood. The person's handsome face twisted, their anger turning their originally pale complexion into dark red.

  "Ah! I swear to kill you!"

  He stumbled and staggered, holding the severed leg in his hand, trembling with both hands as he gazed at the severed leg. Then, he pressed the severed leg against the fractured wound, took out a few talismans from his hand and stuck them to the wound. At the same time, he threw several dan medicines into his mouth. Before long, the bleeding stopped, and his leg was reborn, but it was not as good as before. After all, the fracture site had bone damage and muscle loss, and the severed leg was actually shorter than before by an inch or so. He looked at his short leg again, and roared angrily:

  "I swear I will kill you! Kill you! Ah! Ah! ............"

  It walks quickly with rapid strides, but sways from side to side, and its gait is unsteady.

  "Ahh! Ahh! I... I... I've been crippled! Crippled! Waaahhhh... I swear to tear you into a million pieces! A million pieces! ...Death! ...Waaahhhh..."

  In the midst of his mournful and angry roar, a sobbing tone was mixed in, as he rushed towards the dusty place with a swift and fierce momentum. The treasure in his hand shone brightly, and with a furious strike, he killed the cultivator who had fallen to the ground.

  "Boom!"

  The dust dispersed, and a deep ditch dozens of feet long suddenly appeared on the ground.

  "Ah!... Ah!... Ah! You insignificant ant! I swear to kill you! Tear you into ten thousand pieces! Woe is me..."

  A mighty beast wounded by an ant! What a great shame and humiliation! The one who suffered this great shame was so humiliated that he couldn't utter a sound, and even his handsome face was distorted!

  Several hundred feet away from here, under a clump of shrubs, one was coughing up blood and panting heavily, secretly thinking to himself:

  "What a close call! Just a hair's breadth away from being a goner! But this narrow escape was worth it, for he had already been poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Toxin. The goal has been achieved. I've traded half my life for his temporary loss of divine powers. Given the current situation, our family still comes out on top! At least we've eliminated one major threat to my life!"

  His repair was indeed insufficient for the person, but at this time he had suffered too much damage and could no longer move his body.

  "Hmph! It's not wrong for me to plot in a certain household, but you're the one who leaned against the giant stone of the illusionary array. You didn't get hurt, who got hurt?"

  Originally, the Nine Palaces Great Array was not perfect and its layout was simple, but its mysterious changes were far beyond ordinary. It's like a giant stone behind the Thunderbolt Body, it feels real when touched, but once the array is activated, the changes between reality and illusion are unpredictable. Insufficiently, he hid his divine consciousness under it, using his own body to attack him, Thunderbolt was about to make a move, so he didn't hide his strength, using all his might in one strike, and the remaining strength had been exhausted, no later strength was born, at this time, Insufficiently recognized the divine consciousness and struck out! Although Thunderbolt's cultivation was small and perfect, but in the urgent moment, he dodged and flashed, but was caught by one leg.

  At this time, the Thunder Beast was swallowing the elixir. Because it suddenly felt a strange poison in its body. For a moment, it was frightened and forgot all about being insulted by the small ant, only hoping that the medicine in the magic bag could cure the poison and save its life! The feeling of being high above everything at first had long since flown away!

  "Alas! My soul is numb with fear. What can I do? Ah! Thus, I must be the object of some villain's scheme!"

  Ben Lei took out all the medicinal pills from his bag and swallowed them one by one. Among them were several kinds of antidotes, but after trying them, the poison still spread without stopping. Ben Lei was shocked and his soul flew away in fright.

  "What's to be done? What's to be done?"

  Think of Feng Cheng's cunning and viciousness, and the resentful expression of Xie Changlao. Suddenly, Ben Lei gritted his teeth, took out a jade box from his bosom, carefully removed the seal, opened the box, and a black pill the size of a broad bean appeared before him. If there were any powerful cultivators present, they would surely be shocked! It was actually the "Dao Sheng Dan"! The heaven-defying elixir that broke through the entry period of Xuan Yuan's cultivation! Among the millions of cultivators who entered the Dao, less than one in a hundred thousand could achieve this. This elixir was so precious that it couldn't be named!

  "Feng Cheng was a child, forced by you to be like this, I swear I will kill you!"

  He let out a sob, and sent the elixir into his mouth. Tears rained down as he did so. This Reversal of Heaven Elixir was an opportunity that cultivators had only once in their lifetime. The power of the elixir was too overwhelming, refining one's body to the extreme, causing any subsequent consumption of the same type of elixir to lose all effect! From now on, the chance to enter the path of thunder would be lost forever!

  Half a time later, the elixir dissolved and its medicinal power barely managed to stop the poison from breaking out.

  At this time, if it is not enough to be on the side, knowing that it is the inverse of the heavenly elixir of the Taoist period, it must be a big laugh of mistaken energy! This poison, although initially fierce, can be treated with the soul and spirit staying, but it's just made from the juice of several ordinary poisonous grasses in the abyss of ten thousand calamities mixed with several spiritual medicines and refined. It only takes three days to take effect! If you don't take the elixir, its effect will resolve itself after three days! Ben Lei, although his magical powers are all-encompassing, knows very little about the principles of alchemy, and is worried that he has been plotted against by Feng Cheng or Xie Zonglao. He actually took the precious Taoist saint elixir as an ordinary spiritual medicine to detoxify! With a heart full of schemes for others, the retribution is like this, isn't it the destined number in the dark?

  After resting for a while, he felt that his magical body and powers had returned to normal. He then stood up and entered the magical array where Ben Lei was located. Just as he was about to fly up and kill Ben Lei, he suddenly stopped and stood still on the ground.

  "Impossible! How could he have solved the mystery of this 'Gu' poison, a legendary toxin known only to a select few? This is a treatment based on an ancient, exquisite formula, and yet it's something that hardly anyone today knows about. Could it be that he stumbled upon this formula by chance?"

  Insufficient to shock and anger, yet standing; dare not believe! Only hiding in the formation, dare not shoot.

  "Ah!"

  The thunder rumbled and rose, gritting its teeth and saying:

  "Way of the Saint's Elixir! A certain immortal family's divine medicine! Woe is me... Feng Cheng, you little brat, forcing me to this point, I swear I will kill you!"

  "Ah! Could it be that the Thunderclap has used the Daoist Sacred Elixir to detoxify?"

  For a moment, I was stunned and suddenly woke up from a dream.

  "Alright! It must be the Sacred Dan that can detoxify! Haha... You, Thunderbolt Thief, don't know my poison and actually dare to use the sacred medicine! Haha..."

  "Feng Cheng, you despicable scoundrel! You want to plot against me? Dare to use extreme poison? I will surely kill you! Ahhhhhh......"

  The thunder boomed loudly and struck in all directions, like a madman.

  "Good heavens! This scoundrel's skills have not diminished, and it won't be easy to kill him. Alas! I can only think of another plan!"

  Insufficient thought, so quietly hid and retreated. That thunder struck fiercely four times for a long time, looked around in all directions, nothing else, only silence, no result, so stopped.

  Insufficient to retreat back to the outside of the large formation, turned around and looked around, that large formation trembled slightly.

  "It will be broken in a month or several months. At that time, the five of them will join forces and one family will be destroyed! However, turning around to fight to the death is just like the newly promoted Thunderbolt, and the chance of winning is also one in ten thousand!"

  Insufficient to frown, unable to think. Turning back to look at the most mysterious place in this Wan Jie Abyss, the stone monument stands quietly, though it says nothing, yet it seems to speak, and the danger within is almost absolute!

  "At first, I thought that the five of you would each break through your own formations and find an opportunity to attack! Who knew that Xiaoyuan's cultivation was not something that could be resisted by a small law body?! Although they had the support of a large formation, their magical powers were not smooth in the formation, the heavenly gods' abilities and original powers could not be mobilized, their divine consciousness could not go out, and there was no way to know the situation around them. Having taken advantage of this opportunity, I can still barely survive; without it, my family would have perished long ago!"

  Sighing with a deep sense of foreboding, I resolutely stepped into this place of infinite tribulations.

  After three months.

  Originally a place of complete silence, the dull gray sky suddenly churned with purple clouds from all directions. The whirlpool in the midst flashed with lightning, yet eerily there was not even a single thread of sound! The purple cloud grew more majestic, filling almost the entire space. However, the boundary between the purple cloud and the mortal world was marked by a stone tablet: on one side, thick clouds churned, while on the other side all was calm and quiet as usual, with only dense fog drifting through the air.

  Suddenly, the whirlpool of purple clouds rapidly contracted, like a giant jade plate spinning around, and then "Rumble!" A loud noise, as if countless sounds were gathered in one place, burst open at the same time. The sound waves spread out in all directions, like thousands of thunderclaps ringing in the ears. Wherever the sound waves passed, mountains collapsed, objects were destroyed, smoke and dust spewed out, like a vast expanse of smoke that turned into mist at the same time, and then quickly disappeared, as if it had come and gone in an instant, leaving behind only a fleeting beauty, with all things present but no trace remaining.

  The disaster has passed, and inside the misty veil, all is calm and serene. But outside, it's as if doomsday has arrived, with everything destroyed. Where are the lush grasses, gullies, hills, and other natural wonders? The only thing left is a massive pit over 100 meters deep, where five corpses lie entwined in each other's blood-soaked bodies, sprawled on the rocks and soil, their lives hanging by a thread.
