Chapter 1664 Hundred Thousand Poison Immunity
"Wow, he"s doing much better than I expected…" Long Yejun muttered with a surprised look after seeing how far Yuan had progressed in the Baneful Dragon"s Poisonous Swamp.
He turned to look at Yingzi, who was standing beside him, and asked, "How long have you been traveling with him?"
"A little over two years."
"So only recently, huh? How did you guys meet?"
"I was the one who approached him. He appeared out of nowhere and piqued my interest."
"Is that so…"
Sometime later, Yuan stood up after receiving a notification.
[Progress: 10%]
Yuan stopped to cultivate again.
A few minutes later, Yuan walked to the next layer. He continued this until he reached the last layer of the first zone.
[Progress: 25%]
It was only when his poison immunity advanced to the next realm that he noticed an increase in his progress. This realization led Yuan to believe that he would need to continue elevating his poison immunity to even higher levels in order to complete his progress.
Sometime later, Yuan walked forward, stepping into the second zone of the swamp.
Long Yejun swallowed nervously when he saw this. The second zone was incomparably more challenging than the first, and even poison dragons had trouble adapting to the poison there.
"He"s only been here for a few hours, and he"s already entering the second zone…" Long Yejun sighed out loud as he recalled taking several hundred million years to reach that point.
"His insane speed of adapting to poison… he"s definitely a poison dragon!" Long Yejun was already convinced that Yuan was a poison dragon. Otherwise, it would make no sense.
"Hm?"
Long Yejun suddenly noticed a powerful presence behind him, prompting him to turn around.
A tall and handsome man with purple, blue, and green hair was walking toward them with a slight smile on his face.
"It"s been a while since I"ve seen you at my playground, Prince Yejun." This man greeted Long Yejun with respect.
"Baneful Dragon. Are you here to watch my little brother, too?"
Sure enough, this newcomer was the Baneful Dragon—the creator of the Poisonous Swamp.
"Your little brother?" The Baneful Dragon looked at Yuan and smiled, "So that"s the rumored fourth Dragon G.o.d"s Descendant. And I came here because I noticed something odd was happening at my playground."
"Something odd?" Long Yejun raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.
"My Poisonous Swamp started losing its strength rapidly a few hours ago, almost as if someone was purposefully detoxifying the poison."
The Baneful Dragon narrowed his gaze at Yuan and continued, "Turns out he has been absorbing my poison and using it to enhance his own body—and at an incredible rate at that."
"What? Isn"t that something only someone who has attained Poison Harmony could achieve?" Long Yejun"s eyes widened with shock. "Although Brother Yuan has poison immunity, he definitely hasn"t reached the level of Poison Harmony yet!"
Yingzi looked at Yuan with a weird expression on her face.
"Isn"t this exactly what happened at the Eternal Phoenix Domain? So he can do more than just absorb fire, huh?" Yingzi, who had witnessed Yuan"s feats at the Nine Levels of h.e.l.l, immediately realized what was happening.
However, she said nothing to Long Yejun and the Baneful Dragon since it would reveal Yuan"s true ident.i.ty, leaving them to figure everything out themselves.
When Yuan entered the second zone and was poisoned, his Hundred Thousand Poison Immunity immediately nullified the poison effects, so he continued walking deeper until he could no longer continue at the 20% mark.
"If he"s stopping there, then his poison immunity should"ve only reached the level of Hundred Thousand Poison Immunity." The Baneful Dragon remarked.
"That"s where I am now, and that took me hundreds of millions of years to achieve…" Long Yejun sighed.
The Baneful Dragon looked at him and sneered, "You make it sound like you"ve been training for hundreds of millions of years straight when, in reality, you"ve only really trained for a few thousand years."
It took Yuan a little longer to adapt to the poison in the second zone and a little over a week to advance his poison immunity to the next stage.
[Progress: 75%]
[Myriad Poison Immunity]
[Description: Grants the user immunity to over a million poisons, including Immortal-grade poisons.]
When Yuan attained Myriad of Poison Immunity, he"d just traversed a little over 75 percent of the second zone. However, even with his improved poison immunity, he was only able to continue all the way up to 90 percent before needing to halt again.
"I have never seen anyone adapt to poison so quickly…" The Baneful Dragon spoke with a shocked expression on his face.
"That"s my little brother for you! Hahaha!" Long Yejun laughed with prideful expression, as if he was the one who was being praised.
"By the way, can you tell what kind of poison dragon he is?"
The Baneful Dragon shook his head and said, "Everything about him tells me that he"s a poison dragon, but for some reason, I cannot see him being a poison dragon. My gut tells me he isn"t one." "What? He isn"t a poison dragon? How is that possible? There"s no way anything other than a poison dragon could adapt to poison so quickly!"
"I am well aware of that. If I have to be honest, even I cannot compare to him in that category."
"No way! You have the strongest bloodline and highest poison affinity as a poison dragon! How could you lose to someone who isn"t even a poison dragon? That doesn"t make any sense!" Long Yejun exclaimed.
The Baneful Dragon remained silent, almost as if he had no response to such remarks.
