Chapter 112: Enslaving the Luan Yue Ancestor

"A mere Essence Transformation cultivator, and his escape technique is actually this terrifying?"

The Luan Yue Ancestor chased closely behind Lu Chen.

The disciples of the Wan Yao Lou sect, including the cultivators from the Dual Cultivation Tower, upon hearing this tremendous sound, also noticed her and Lu Chen.

"What's going on? The Ancestor is actually this furious?"

"Who exactly is it, that the Ancestor would actually manifest her true form?"

"It seems there's a man ahead of the Ancestor?"

The discussion lasted only a moment, and in the next instant, it could no longer be heard.

Lu Chen fled at high speed toward the direction of Zhou Continent, not daring to look back in the slightest.

"I don't believe such escape speed can be sustained for long!"

The Luan Yue Ancestor instantly flew into a rage, and in the next moment, she flicked her tail, tearing through the void, and immediately appeared before Lu Chen.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's pupils shrank sharply, and he hastily took out the seventh-rank magical artifact he had previously obtained from Huang Jingxuan to block.

"Clang!"

With just one strike, the seventh-rank magical artifact shattered, and he also sustained some injuries from it.

Fortunately, the injuries were not severe; he immediately changed direction and fled toward Wan Yao Lou.

His purpose was not to escape, but to buy time.

Now, his soul is not strong enough; to completely control the other's will, he probably needs at least ten or so seconds.

From just now until now, only a few seconds have passed.

"You actually still have a seventh-rank magical artifact, too bad your cultivation realm is insufficient; otherwise, I truly would have no way to deal with you!"

The Luan Yue Ancestor's expression turned gloomy, as if she had made some decision, and in the next moment, she fiercely spat out a drop of poisonous blood from her tongue.

The poisonous blood instantly arrived before Lu Chen, and in an instant, it exploded with a boom.

"One drop of Myriad Poison Blood requires me to nurture it for a hundred years; if it weren't absolutely necessary, I truly wouldn't want to use it on you."

"Being able to see it, you can die without regret!"

The Luan Yue Ancestor's figure gradually came to a stop; she could already see Lu Chen's flesh rotting and decaying after contact with the poison.

【Detected host suffering from poison blood corrosion!】

【Original effect: flesh rotting and decaying, the use of spirit-slaying qi is restricted.】

【Reverse effect: flesh strengthened, the use of spirit-slaying qi becomes more flexible.】

"What?"

But she never expected that, in the next moment, Lu Chen would actually burst out of the poison mist, his body seemingly completely unaffected.

"There's still a body-protecting magical treasure?!"

Shocked in her eyes, but she didn't have time to think further, and hastily chased after him again.

She could feel her consciousness gradually being affected.

Even in her heart, a vague unwillingness to attack Lu Chen had already arisen.

"Time is short, I absolutely cannot be enslaved by her!"

She had been a master all her life, never imagining that one day she would be enslaved by someone else.

Such humiliation, she said she would never accept no matter what.

She gritted her teeth, and in the next moment, she actually spat out a spherical object from her mouth.

"I originally intended to save it for the day I go to Zhou Continent to use......"

Knowing there wasn't enough time for her to overthink, the next second she suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her breath instantly weakened considerably, and immediately afterward, a tremendous killing intent surged all over her body, and nine-tenths of her terrifying aura were bestowed upon this spherical object.

Because the killing intent released in such a short time was too immense, it even attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck down with a thunderous crash; if it were normal times, she would absolutely try to dodge it, after all, such lightning is also a tremendous threat to her.

But at this moment, she simply had no time to do these things.

She could only harden herself against a bolt of lightning.

Her body's killing intent surged again, and in the next moment, Lu Chen felt his speed suddenly drop to an extreme point.

"What is this?"

Immediately afterward, he was enveloped by a spatial rift.

When he finally reacted again, a terrifying power exploded with a thunderous crash within the rift.

"This time, it should be fine."

The Luan Yue Ancestor's expression was calm; just now, that strike had consumed nine-tenths of her cultivation, and she even had to harden herself against a bolt of lightning, thus losing several decades of lifespan.

She turned her gaze inward, intending to check the erased mark.

But soon, she discovered that the mark was still there.

"How is this possible?"

The mark not only still exists, but it has already reached the final stage of its formation.

"Impossible! Why! Why could he withstand that strike!"

Before she could figure out the reason, the mark had already thoroughly influenced her.

Although her heart still held confusion and regret, but under the influence of the mark, she immediately released Lu Chen.

She had thought Lu Chen, even if he managed to save his life, would at least be severely injured under her attack.

But at the moment she saw Lu Chen, she felt her Dao heart almost shatter.

"He's actually completely unharmed?"

The Luan Yue Ancestor was dazed.

That incomprehensible daze.

Lu Chen walked out from the spatial rift, brushed off the dust on his body, and let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Fortunately I held on; the two blocks of the death curse were used up. Any later by a second and I might have been done for."

He glanced at Luan Yue Laozu before him.

"Return to human form."

Lu Chen truly couldn't appreciate the sight of that person who was neither human nor snake.

Although Luan Yue Laozu was unwilling, she had no choice but to comply.

Soon, she reverted to her human form.

"Hmm, at least this way I can still look."

Lu Chen could see the strong unwillingness on the other's face.

The eyes carried killing intent, hands clenched tightly, nails digging into flesh, even drawing out much green blood.

"Alright, there are some precautions I need to tell you."

Lu Chen, as always, conveyed his prescribed words to the other party.

This was mainly to prevent others from discerning their true relationship.

"After returning, you continue to act as Luan Yue Laozu; to the outside world, you may only claim that I have already been killed by you."

"Next time we meet, it should be on the battlefield of the righteous-demonic war."

"Then, it will be the time for you to play your part."

Lu Chen's expression remained calm; while speaking, he also casually rummaged through the other's storage bag.

After all, the other was a Dao-comprehending cultivator—perhaps he could find something good.

Unfortunately, the techniques in the storage bag were inferior to the ones bestowed upon him by the Empress.

But he did greatly like those pills.

Without hesitation, he picked up those pills and immediately swallowed them.

Luan Yue watched this scene, her eyes wide open.

If those pills were taken by a cultivator other than a poison cultivator, they would instantly explode and die.

"Isn't he afraid?"

The next moment, a system notification arrived.

【Detected host consuming pill, Black Blood Toxic Pill.】

【Original effect: Greatly increases one's own toxicity, enhances toxic damage. Non-poison cultivators consuming it will be corroded by large amounts of toxicity, suffering permanent damage.】

【Reversal effect: When consumed by a non-poison cultivator, they will not be corroded by toxicity and will greatly enhance their resistance to poison.】

【Detected host consuming pill, White Snake Scatter Pill】

【Original effect......】

Lu Chen swallowed the pills in one breath; the next moment, his aura grew stronger by several degrees.

Luan Yue Laozu beside him noticed his sudden surge in aura, her expression frozen in place.

"What is going on?"
