Chapter 1665 Heaven’s Bane
Another two weeks have pa.s.sed since Yuan attained Myriad Poison Immunity.
[True Poison Immunity]
[Description: Grants the user immunity to most poisons.]
[Progress: 90%]
"Looks like I will have to advance my poison immunity by one more stage if I want to complete the fusion…" Yuan thought to himself as he took his first step into the third zone, where the poisons are strong enough to kill even immortals within seconds.
"I would"ve stopped him from advancing further if you weren"t here, Baneful Dragon." Long Yejun said.
However, the Baneful Dragon shook his head and said, "Even with me here, there"s nothing I can do to save him in the third zone because the poison there are strong enough to kill him before I can even attempt to save him."
"My Poisonous Swamp isn"t the most dangerous training ground in the Divine Dragon Sanctuary without reason. It has the most casualties, and even other Baneful Dragons have perished here because they underestimated my poison."
"What? Then I need to stop him immediately! Before it"s too late!" Long Yejun hastily said.
"He"ll be fine." Yingzi suddenly spoke for the first time since the Baneful Dragon"s appearance.
"Where is your confidence coming from?" The Baneful Dragon inquired, his gaze filled with intrigue.
"From experience, I guess. I have seen what he"s capable of."
"But you"ve only been with him for around two years!" Long Yejun exclaimed.
"And in those two years, I have witnessed enough to be confident of him." Yingzi shrugged.
Long Yejun s.h.i.+fted his focus to Yuan again and swallowed nervously.
"Even that Unrivaled Tyrant hasn"t stepped foot inside the third zone…" he mumbled in a dazed voice.
The third zone of the Baneful Dragon"s Poisonous Swamp was much smaller than the previous two, requiring only a hundred steps to reach its very center. However, each step introduced a new, more potent layer of poison. These toxins were so deadly that even those at the G.o.d Ascension would succ.u.mb to them within minutes.
Even with True Poison Immunity, Yuan couldn"t take more than ten steps before he had to sit down to cultivate.
The pain he experienced was excruciating, and if it weren"t for his regeneration ability that constantly created healthy blood cells and restored his organs, the poison would"ve melted his body within seconds.
"Oh G.o.d… what is his body made of?" The Baneful Dragon was shocked by what he was witnessing, and he even began to doubt the effectiveness of his poison, something he had been immensely proud of for countless years.
"That regenerative ability… if he"s not a poison dragon, he"s a dragon with extremely high recovery rates…" Long Yejun immediately started thinking of the possibilities.
"Only an Undying Dragon would be able to rival that recovery speed of his… but they are especially weak to poison, so that can"t be right…"
"The Dragon G.o.d"s blood within him might have something to do with that."
"No… the Dragon G.o.d"s blood only enhances our existing abilities to extreme lengths. None of the Dragon G.o.d"s Descendants have abilities beyond what they"re capable of—not even the Unrivaled Tyrant."
For example, Long Yejun"s ability to control water reached levels other Ancient Azure Dragons could never hope to achieve because of the Dragon G.o.d"s blood within him. However, he would not suddenly acquire the ability to control the void or fire.
Four hours later, Yuan stood up and took another step before sitting back down again to cultivate. He would continue to spend four hours for each step until he reached the 69th step.
Ding!
[Progress: 100%]
The Baneful Dragon narrowed his eyes, sensing a drastic change in Yuan"s body and aura as his physique merged properly.
"What a ridiculous monster. Even the Unrivaled Tyrant is nothing in front of his poison affinity!" The Baneful Dragon praised loudly. "Don"t let her hear that, or she"ll kill you." Long Yejun said as he nervously looked around to make sure n.o.body there heard it.
"Relax. This place is usually empty." The Baneful Dragon laughed.
"I wonder why." Long Yejun shook his head.
Meanwhile, Yuan continued his march toward the very center of the poisonous swamp. Unlike before, when each step took him hours to complete, this time he moved forward without pause, not stopping for even a second.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the very center of the Baneful Dragon"s Poisonous Swamp.
[Heaven"s Bane]
[Rank: Celestial]
[Mastery Level: 1]
[Description: The strongest poison—the bane of all existence. A single drop of Heaven"s Bane could poison even Heaven itself.]
Despite the powerful new technique he"d just acquired, Yuan was paying attention to something else—something inside the Baneful Dragon"s Poisonous Swamp.
He crouched down and reached into the water, carefully retrieving a purple crystal as large as his entire head. The crystal gleamed with an otherworldly glow and exuded a deadly presence.
[???]
"What is this?" he muttered.
"Congratulations, fourth Dragon G.o.d"s Descendant!" The Baneful Dragon suddenly appeared before Yuan with a wide smile on his face.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"I am the Baneful Dragon—the owner and creator of this wonder playground! And you"ve just become the first ent.i.ty to defeat all of my poison by reaching the very center of the swamp!"
"That object in your hand is a Baneful Crystal—a treasure I have been nurturing for over a billion years in this playground. It can be used to create poison or as a material to craft another treasure. I"ll give it to you to celebrate this occasion." "Thank you, Baneful Dragon. I will put this treasure into good use," Yuan said, already thinking about how he should use it.
