427: Chapter 427 Thousand Poison Spirit Lake, Starfall Demon

"The Spirit Lake of Thousand Poisons is formed by the condensed essence left behind after a thousand poisonous insects self-destructed!"

"One could say the purple lake before us contains a thousand poisons, but it also holds majestic energy. If absorbed, even if origin injuries cannot be fully healed, at least seventy percent can be recovered!"

Hao Meili spoke calmly, with a joyful smile.

"Oh? Then it seems the Spirit Lake of Thousand Poisons is a treasure land!" Hun Tiandi let out a light breath, the sliver of worry in his heart fading!

"Meili, you heal your injuries, and I will protect you!"

"Mm!" As Hao Meili nodded in agreement, her figure flashed, flitting toward the Spirit Lake of Thousand Poisons.

Buzz!

Like a butterfly, Hao Meili slowly landed above the purple spirit lake, sitting cross-legged and closing her eyes to form cultivation hand seals.

A suction force erupted from her body, causing ripples in the purple spirit lake as streaks of pure purple energy drifted toward her.

Entering her body through her pores, it stimulated the Ten Thousand Poison Dou Qi within her, beginning to circulate through her meridians along the cultivation path.

Phew!

On the hilltop, watching Hao Meili enter her cultivation state, Hun Tiandi finally truly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Ling, Qing Yue, watch the surroundings!" Hun Tiandi said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Young Master!" Liu Ling's figure moved, landing on another hilltop, while Qing Yue stood beside Hun Tiandi.

The poison mist in the air still required the protection of the Taiyin True Fire.

Buzz!

Within the ruins, Senior Sister Liu Hanbing's eyes were filled with poisonous insects crawling densely; with a shift of her gaze, her eyes turned silver-white, erupting with two beams of moonlight.

The cold energy spread, instantly freezing the poisonous insects around where she stood.

All frozen to death, she wondered inwardly, "How can there be so many poisonous insects? Even for the Thousand Poison Ruins, this shouldn't be the case!"

Senior Sister Liu Hanbing mused in confusion, her gaze looking into the distance.

On the other side, Yao Ling walked through the ruins; wherever she passed, the poisonous insects beneath her feet gave way on their own, as if unwilling to provoke her.

In fact, if one smelled closely, a faint green fragrance drifted around Yao Ling.

It was this fragrance on her body that made the insects everywhere bypass her.

From time to time, she picked some aged poisonous herbs and flowers; if these natural treasures were placed outside, they would fetch exorbitant prices at auction.

The Medicine Clan dealt with medicinal materials year-round and naturally had many ways to deal with poisonous insects and mist.

Ah...

Meanwhile, throughout the Thousand Poison Ruins, shrill screams rang out; those who entered the ruins with insufficient strength were all devoured by poisonous insects.

Their flesh and Dou Qi became nourishment for the insects, devoured completely.

Only luster-radiating, grayish-white skeletons were left behind, their lives ending here.

Opportunities on the continent must be fought for, and a price must be paid; the most precious price is life.

Even so, cultivators on the Fighting Qi Continent still flocked to it one after another.

This is the charm of cultivation.

Spirit Lake of Thousand Poisons!

While the three including Hun Tiandi were protecting Hao Meili during her seclusion, a sudden change occurred; in short, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.

Whoosh...

Several figures sped from a distance, moving extremely fast; as the light dissipated, it was a youth from the Starfall Pavilion, followed by several elders.

Their auras were like abysses, and furthermore, they had no Dou Qi Wings, meaning the people protecting the youth were at least at the level of Dou Zong experts.

The light faded, revealing the youth's handsome face, looking down from above, surveying everything.

Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze carrying a hint of disdain.

"Are you Yun Tian?" The youth's tone was calm, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.

"To ask for someone else's name without first introducing yourself—people from the Starfall Pavilion really don't know the rules!"

Hun Tiandi spoke coldly.

"You... I am Ghost Demon of the Starfall Pavilion!" Clad in a Star Robe, Ghost Demon suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.

"Starfall Pavilion? Ghost Demon? Never heard of you..."

Hun Tiandi spoke intentionally; before a battle, he liked to use words to provoke his opponents. Once they felt anger or lost their reason, no matter how strong they were, they were nothing more than a ferocious magical beast.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of me. You once killed a youth and took the youhai storage ring!"

"Today, I am here to avenge my brother. The blood debt you owe the Starfall Pavilion must be repaid!"

Ghost Demon said coldly, without a trace of emotion.

"You mean... this? I must thank that youth for leaving me a generous amount of medicinal pills; otherwise, my strength wouldn't have increased so quickly!"

Hun Tiandi slowly raised his left hand, and a deep blue storage ring appeared before everyone.

"If you have the ability, come and take it!"

"It really was you..." Seeing the youhai storage ring, Ghost Demon's entire aura surged uncontrollably.

Vast Dou Qi surged, causing the world to lose its color.

"Young Master, for a mere thief, there's no need for you to act. Let this old man capture him and take him back to the Starfall Pavilion for the Pavilion Master to deal with!"

A gray-haired elder stood behind him, wearing coarse hemp robes; a centipede-like scar ran across his aged cheek, adding a bit of ferocity and killing intent to his appearance.

"Elder Hui, I will handle this personally. For my brother's revenge, there's no need for anyone else to step in!"

Ghost Demon refused coldly.

"Old man Hui, what are you worried about? For a mere Seven-Star Dou Wang to have the Young Master act personally is this kid's honor!"

Another white-haired elder nearby spoke, seemingly having absolute confidence in Ghost Demon.

The gray-robed elder nodded upon hearing this.

"Yun Tian, show me what you've got!" Filled with killing intent, Ghost Demon moved, and the Dou Qi in his body instantly surged out.

A brilliant Star Dou Qi erupted, and a tyrannical energy pressure filled the space between the two.

The aura of a Dou Zong was revealed without reservation. Hun Tiandi's expression remained indifferent as he stepped out of the blue flame barrier, his Seven-Star Dou Wang aura boiling like a tide.

Star Fist!

Ghost Demon shouted deeply, Dou Qi gathering on both fists. Covered by the brilliant Dou Qi and dotted with starlight, it looked very dreamlike.

Stamping his foot, his figure shot out like a sharp sword, smashing straight toward Hun Tiandi as the air exploded.

Half-Step Crushing Fist!

Seeing Ghost Demon attack, Hun Tiandi didn't hold back either, striking with full force. He started with the perfected Half-Step Crushing Fist, wrapped in blood-colored Dou Qi, his fists like blood jade.

Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method activated!

With his power surging fivefold, the two were like enraged magical beasts. They clashed head-on with powerful force, fist light bursting as red and white figures intersected on the hilltop.

Their figures were like maggots on a bone, following closely behind each other.

A continuous series of explosions rang out, each accompanied by the splashing of Dou Qi energy.

Ghost Demon grew more startled as the battle progressed, shocked in his heart, "How can this kid's physical body be so powerful!"

Every time the Star Fist struck Hun Tiandi, it felt very painful, which meant this boy focused heavily on tempering his physical body.

Furthermore, what Dou Technique was this kid practicing? That strange hidden force invaded his body, shaking his blood and qi.

In truth, Ghost Demon didn't know that the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method Hun Tiandi practiced specialized in the body, tempering it to be even more ferocious than high-grade weapons.

"As expected of the Young Master of the Starfall Pavilion, this body is truly tough!"

Hun Tiandi remarked. In the next instant, Ghost Demon erupted with an aura far stronger than before, piercing the sky like a sharp sword.

He forced Hun Tiandi back in one go.

"Your strength isn't bad, much tougher than that brother of yours!" Hun Tiandi shook his aching fists, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.
