545: Chapter 545 The Immortal Lord of Taiyin

Immortal Monarch Taiyin suddenly opened her eyes. Due to her weakness, her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand catties, but at this moment, she forced them open.

Her pupils suddenly contracted in an instant, staring intently at the tall, upright figure in the thick fog ahead, who exuded a Pure Yang aura from head to toe.

"Pure Yang Origin?"

Immortal Monarch Taiyin's voice no longer held its usual coldness and nobility; instead, it carried an uncontrollable tremble that made even herself feel ashamed.

Was this an illusion? Was it an obsessive hallucination caused by the Great Poison Technique as she neared death? No, that scorching temperature, that Pure Yang Qi that made the icy poison in her body instinctively tremble, was so real.

This was her only hope of survival at this moment, a lifesaving straw dangling down into the abyss of despair.

However, Lu Yuan's expression was indifferent, like an emotionless deity high above the Nine Heavens, looking down at her.

He did not immediately stretch out a helping hand, nor did he speak any words of comfort.

He merely gazed at her coldly, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate her flesh and see right through the riddled injuries inside her body.

He clearly saw that the sickly green poisonous gas had already formed a hideous toxic web over her heart meridian, tightening bit by bit.

"Immortal Monarch Wane's Great Poison Technique is only half an incense stick's time away from devouring your Dao Fruit."

Lu Yuan's voice was unusually calm, devoid of mockery, pity, or any trace of emotion.

He was merely stating a cold fact, but it was precisely this emotionless statement that, like a final heavy hammer blow, smashed ruthlessly against Immortal Monarch Taiyin's already tottering Dao Heart.

Her heart beat violently, as if it were about to burst through her chest.

Lu Yuan's indifference filled her with an unprecedented fear—he simply did not care whether she lived or died.

He was waiting—waiting for her to completely cast aside her pride and take the initiative to offer everything.

The intense pain inside her body surged wave after wave like a tsunami, and the erosion of the toxin was frantically dismantling her rationality and pride as a Middle Stage Immortal Lord.

She could clearly feel that her Taiyin Origin, which she had painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years, was collapsing. This sense of emptiness from the loss of power made her feel even more despondent than the physical pain.

She had once been the high and mighty Immortal Monarch Taiyin; her pride would not allow her to bow her head to anyone.

But now, on this desolate, unowned immortal island, this cold-faced man before her, who possessed the ultimate Pure Yang Origin, was the only person in heaven and earth who could save her.

At this moment, the instinct to survive overwhelmed all dignity, honor, and reserve with an unstoppable force.

In the face of true death, an Immortal Lord's dignity seemed so laughable and worthless.

Her mind was in Chaos, with only one thought flashing frantically: Survive! No matter the cost, she had to survive!

"Save me..."

Immortal Monarch Taiyin gasped heavily, black poisonous blood continuously trickling down the corner of her mouth. There was no longer any of her past coldness and disdain in her eyes; instead, it was replaced by the most primitive, pitiful begging.

She looked up at Lu Yuan as if looking at her only god.

"As long as you can cure the poison... whatever you want... I will agree to it."

She squeezed out these words, each one seeming to exhaust all her strength.

These words meant she had completely abandoned herself, unreservedly handing over her destiny, dignity, and even her body to this stranger before her.

She had thought she would feel humiliation and anger upon saying this, but strangely, apart from her yearning for survival, not a single ripple arose in her heart.

It turned out that once the bottom line was broken through, everything became a matter of course.

However, Lu Yuan still did not speak. He stood there coldly, like an eternal statue.

His eyes didn't flicker in the slightest, as if he were admiring a piece of exquisite porcelain that was about to shatter.

He was assessing, waiting for the moment the toxin reached its absolute peak. Only at that moment would Immortal Monarch Taiyin's will to resist be completely obliterated, allowing their Yin and Yang union to achieve the most perfect harmony, from which he could reap the greatest benefits.

Lu Yuan's lack of response filled Immortal Monarch Taiyin with an unprecedented panic.

She feared that Lu Yuan would truly leave her to die, feared that she would rot away just like this in the filthy venom.

Right at this moment, the toxin suddenly ushered in its most violent eruption!

"Ah—!"

Immortal Monarch Taiyin let out a shrill and painful shriek. It no longer sounded like a human voice, but more like a beast cornered in a desperate situation.

The sickly green poisonous gas instantly broke through the final inch of distance, biting viciously into her heart meridian.

The intense pain caused her rationality to be completely swallowed by her survival instinct.

Her eyes turned blood-red, and only one wild obsession remained in her mind—get close to that heat source! Get close to the person who could save her!

Instead of retreating from the pain, she dragged her battered, violently trembling body and stumbled toward Lu Yuan like a moth to a flame.

She stretched out her intact left hand, desperately grabbing Lu Yuan's arm with a death grip.

Her fingernails sank deep into Lu Yuan's flesh from her excessive force, but she was completely oblivious to it.

The moment they made contact, that scorching, overbearing Pure Yang aura surged through her skin like a bursting flood.

To Immortal Monarch Taiyin's Meridians, which were nearly necrotic from the torture of the cold poison, this surge of Pure Yang Qi was simply the most incredible divine medicine in the world, allowing her to experience a long-lost, thrilling relief.

She was like a traveler who had trekked through an endless desert for decades, on the verge of dying of thirst, suddenly plunging headfirst into a cool oasis.

This greed and desire welling up from the depths of her Soul completely destroyed her last shred of rationality.

Immortal Monarch Taiyin could no longer bear the torture of the cold poison inside her; she eagerly wanted to obtain more and more thorough Pure Yang aura.

Without hesitation, and even with a frantic urgency, she used her trembling hands to tear off her originally magnificent but now riddled Immortal Lord robe.

"Rip!"

The tattered fabric slid weakly to the ground, making a soft sound.

Immortal Monarch Taiyin actively pressed herself against Lu Yuan's body; her skin was bone-chillingly cold, while Lu Yuan's body was as hot as fire.

The collision of ice and fire caused her to let out an uncontrollable groan.

Relying on instinct, she pushed Lu Yuan backward, and both of them fell together onto the white jade bed deep inside the cave, which emitted a faint red glow.

Lu Yuan did not refuse, a sharp glint flashing across his deep eyes.

Everything was within his calculations. He fell onto the bed along with her momentum, dropping all defensive postures and letting Immortal Monarch Taiyin take the lead in everything.

He knew that for an Immortal Lord ruled by instinct, compliance was the best guidance.
