291: Chapter 291 Entering a Desperate Situation, the Path to Destruction

"What a terrifying poison. It's even more horrifying than Aunt Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison. What exactly did he do to be tainted by such a terrifying ultimate poison?"

"Sigh, for the time being, we can only leave it to fate. She has no way to neutralize the poison, so we can only watch Hun Tiandi!"

Xiao Xiao, her body wrapped in pale green flames, looked at the figure emitting black gas and spoke helplessly.

"Truly bad luck. Back then, the heart of samsara sealed the nine ultimate poisons. Until now, no good solution has been found. Even Elder Dan has looked at it, and it's extremely tricky!"

"I originally planned to solve the trouble in my body later when my strength grew greater, or by finding a Heavenly Flame, or Innate Divine Fire..."

Hun Tiandi murmured. Now that he was in the Sea of Destructive Lightning, and the purple flame thunder bead was absorbing the thunder from the sky, the seal had been inadvertently torn open. Since trouble had found him, he had to resolve it.

"Ultimate Destructive Poison? Destruction Sword Intent?"

He contemplated in his heart, not losing his cool in anxiety. Relying on his strong physique, it wouldn't be a big problem to hold out for a while.

At this moment, the Ultimate Destructive Poison spread, corroding his flesh, organs, and cells. His originally vibrant body became withered.

"Terrifying ultimate poison!" After a brief deliberation, Hun Tiandi closed his eyes and moved his hand casually.

Clang!

A crisp sword hum rang out. Above this Sea of Destructive Lightning and the Dead Silent Ice Lake, it even drowned out the rumbling thunder.

The deep blue abi sword vibrated with its hum, revolving around Hun Tiandi's body.

Wisps of pure life aura surged out, pouring into his body. The material used to forge the abi sword back then was abyssal blue crystal.

abyssal blue crystal was rumored to be an innate crystal nurtured by gathering the infinite righteous energy of heaven and earth, containing innate qi. The blue crystal emitted faint, strange blue light.

It contained rich life force and possessed strong vitality. This crystal was imbued with life.

"That sword? How can it contain such rich life force!"

Xiao Xiao was completely dumbfounded. Just how many trump cards did this damn Hun Tiandi have?

He always managed to turn danger into safety, with an endless stream of trump cards. Xiao Xiao had originally thought she had gauged Hun Tiandi's depths, but she never imagined they were so profound.

Buzz!

Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged, black gas and deep blue light intertwining on his body as if fighting for control. Half was black, half was deep blue.

The changes inside his body were even greater. The Ultimate Destructive Poison flowed, destroying his flesh and physique, while the abi sword Qi descended, its deep blue life force repairing him.

Thus, Hun Tiandi constantly alternated between destruction and repair. The Ultimate Destructive Poison continuously released poisonous gas, like a lonely boat in a wild storm, swaying precariously.

"For now, the poisonous gas and life force are in balance. But how do I expel the toxicity? This Ultimate Destructive Poison contains rich energy. If I can turn it to my own use, it will surely enhance my strength!"

Hun Tiandi was in deep thought, trying to solve the destruction toxicity.

Whoosh...

Gu He arrived through the air, looking at the black-robed figure on the mountain peak, who was his disciple Liu Ling.

"Teacher!" Liu Ling spoke respectfully.

"Fortunately, the red sun root is still here. A step later and it would have been taken by that Old Man Huo!" Gu He showed a gentle smile.

"Huo Yuan?" Liu Ling's expression froze. Being in the Flame Alliance, the overt and covert struggles between Huo Yuan and Gu He were becoming increasingly intense. However, Gu He repeatedly yielded, unwilling to affect the Flame Alliance.

Gu He had even developed the idea of leaving the Flame Alliance.

He flipped his hand and took out the jade box containing the red sun root, handing it to Liu Ling. Liu Ling spoke gratefully, "Teacher, thank you for your hard work!"

"You brat, why are you being polite with your master?" Gu He scolded with a smile.

"Teacher, take these spiritual wines. Their energy is comparable to medicinal pills. When you cultivate, you can drink a bottle to refine it. It might be of no small help to your advancement to the Dou Zun level!"

As if thinking of something, Liu Ling waved his sleeve, and a pile of spiritual wine appeared in mid-air.

"Oh? Spiritual wine? Comparable to medicinal pills?" Gu He showed a curious expression. He opened a jade bottle, which emitted a rich wine fragrance. Taking a light sniff, he felt the Dou Qi in his body circulate a bit faster.

"Ling'er, where did you get these spiritual wines?" Gu He asked curiously.

"Teacher, I cannot say for now. I will definitely tell you in the future!" Liu Ling showed a difficult expression. With the Blood Spirit Seal on him, he was absolutely not allowed to betray information about Hun Tiandi.

Unless Hun Tiandi permitted it!

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. When you're out, be careful!" Gu He saw his disciple's predicament and quickly cut him off.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Liu Ling then gave a respectful salute, put away the jade box, and turned to vanish from the spot.

Gu He sighed, put the spiritual wine into his storage ring, and flew toward the Flame Alliance.

Ding-dong...

Hun Tiandi was still contemplating when a tinkling sound suddenly came from his soul, crisp and refreshing. With a thought, he opened the Netherworld, and a perfect jade plate slowly rotated. It was white as jade, with three thousand dots of various colors on it.

It hovered above his head, letting fall wisps of heavenly music, keeping Hun Tiandi's mind clear at all times.

"lingxiao jade butterfly!"

The lingxiao jade butterfly he had forged in the small world he opened had unexpectedly rung out on its own today.

"That rotating plate, what exactly is it?"

Xiao Xiao was preparing to watch the show, but who would have thought Hun Tiandi would take out another plate, emitting brilliant light.

Faint black light flickered on his body—gloomy, dark green; these were the colors of death.

It was filled with the scent of destruction.

The lingxiao jade butterfly rotated and began to absorb the black gas around Hun Tiandi. One of the dots flickered with light, seemingly nourished by the Ultimate Destructive Poison.

The Ultimate Destructive Poison contained the power to destroy all things and all living beings. Had it not been for the life force of the abi sword nourishing him, he would have long since turned into a pile of white bones.

The silent danger appeared peaceful. There was no grand slaughter or violent aura; it was quiet.

Who would know the infinite danger contained within this?

The power of destruction was strong and continuous. The ultimate poison of the Nine-Headed Poison Dragon Emperor was not so easily neutralized.

His body was becoming a skeleton, his flesh and blood essence seemingly destroyed. Even though the life force of the abi sword was continuously released, it could only maintain his final spark of life from dissipating.

Hun Tiandi's soul was also withering and dissipating within the destruction. The Ultimate Destructive Poison was too powerful.

Stepping into a desperate situation, the path of destruction.

Today was Hun Tiandi's true trial of life and death.

The lingxiao jade butterfly fully devoured the destruction poison gas, and the abi sword fully released life force. Amidst destruction and rebirth, Hun Tiandi comprehended a trace of Destruction Intent.

Rebirth in destruction, destruction in rebirth—cycling back and forth like this.

Clang!

Just as Hun Tiandi's consciousness was about to fall into a deep sleep and perish within it, the abi sword shone brilliantly, and peerless deep blue life force descended to nourish him.

The lingxiao jade butterfly liked the destruction toxicity, and the Ultimate Destructive Poison in his body grew weaker.

Under the tinkling heavenly music, his mind entered a state of emptiness, actually using the power of destruction to comprehend its mysteries.

Recalling his Killing Sword Intent, under the guidance of the abi sword, he also began to comprehend another kind of sword intent.

Destruction Sword Intent!

The Ultimate Destructive Poison destroyed his physique, destroyed everything—meridians, bones, organs, Dou Qi... everything in his body that contained life force was to be destroyed.

When his own life force was destroyed to the extreme, the abyssal blue crystal contained in the abi sword released infinite life force.

It invaded his body.

Thus, the inside of Hun Tiandi's body became a battlefield, and a tug-of-war between destruction and rebirth began.

The lingxiao jade butterfly continuously absorbed the Ultimate Destructive Poison, constantly weakening its toxicity.

With the ebb and flow, Hun Tiandi's life force was strengthened, surpassing the power of destruction. With the heavenly music of the lingxiao jade butterfly to listen to, his consciousness, which had almost fallen asleep, was jolted awake.
