Chapter 114: Myriad Poisons Return to the Ancestor

Lu Chen puts away the Nine Infant Toxic Fang.

From Luan Yue's face one can see she is filled with strong unwillingness.

No matter how unwilling she is, she can only kneel there, watching the fang being taken away.

It seems because of her unwillingness, she asks Lu Chen: "So, are you from the Nether Clan, or are you that Female Emperor's person?"

Obviously, the other party knows some things about the Nether Clan.

That is to say, this fang must have once contained some information.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly becomes interested and counters: "Regarding the Nether Clan and the Female Emperor, what else do you know?"

Old Ancestor Luan Yue startles, suddenly realizing she seems to have asked something wrong.

She forgot that she can now only speak the truth, so when asking Lu Chen she didn't think much.

"I don't know much; I only know that the Nether Clan's chieftain has scattered his treasures and avatars across myriad realms."

"His purpose has two parts: first, to completely resolve the Night Clan's Female Emperor."

"Second, to control those realms."

Listening to Luan Yue's words, Lu Chen isn't overly surprised, but he always feels the other party's purpose isn't that simple.

But now the information is too scarce, he also cannot guess the stakes involved.

Looking at the fang, Lu Chen discovers it constantly secretes toxin.

"Are you cultivating using these toxins?"

"Hmm."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Chen silently frowns.

Poison cultivation is truly terrifying.

After properly storing the fang with several special items, he puts it into his storage bag.

"She probably has nothing left on her; since that's the case, I'm heading back."

The Female Emperor returns once more to Lu Chen's sea of consciousness, continuing to nurture her soul.

Her soul has now recovered to nearly seventy percent; let alone seizing a body, even if she directly uses soul power to attack, she poses a considerable threat to enlightenment cultivators.

Originally, the Female Emperor had some interest in the opponent's body.

Unfortunately, Luan Yue's true form is not human, and she lacks any special constitution.

Thus, the Female Emperor instantly lost interest.

"If only my physical body were still here..."

After the Female Emperor returns to the sea of consciousness, Lu Chen turns his gaze to the nearby bookshelf.

Having come all this way, naturally he should learn something before heading back.

Ignoring Luan Yue still kneeling where she is, he gets up and walks to the bookshelf.

He reaches out to flip through, and the next second a system voice sounds.

【Ding! Detected demonic technique, Silk Thread Force!】

【Original effect: Transform killing intent into invisible threads that infiltrate the enemy's body, entwining meridians and bones, gradually devouring spiritual energy and killing intent.】

【Ding! Detected demonic technique, Corrupt Immortal Miasma!】

【Original effect: Using rotting corpse essence-blood as a guide, with miasma as aid, refined into Corrupt Immortal Miasma; in an instant it poisons countless immortals. Once inhaled, mild cases affect thoughts and spiritual power release; severe cases cause immediate toxic death. Side effect: During cultivation, prolonged exposure to corpse-rot miasma likely leads to bodily disintegration......】

【Reverse effect: Long-term exposure to corpse-rot miasma can condense a stronger Corrupt Immortal Miasma.】

【Ding! Detected demonic technique, Myriad Poisons Return to the Ancestor Grand Method!】

【Original effect: Embrace all poisons under heaven, forge an indestructible poisonous body. The practitioner must constantly ingest, refine, and absorb various strange poisons, ultimately merging multiple toxins into their natal lethal poison. Each poisoning usually accompanies flesh rotting, consciousness blurring, soul scorching pain; one must constantly suppress with killing intent, otherwise a slight mistake leads to toxic death.】

【Reverse effect: Each poisoning usually accompanies flesh refinement, clear consciousness, lucid soul joy, no need to suppress with killing intent. Affinity for poison greatly increases; even if poisoning fails, no injury occurs.】

Seeing this long string of text makes Lu Chen a bit dazzled, but he knows this is the same cultivation method Old Ancestor Luan Yue practices.

It must be that at that time, her final move was the natal lethal poison condensed from the Myriad Poisons Return to the Ancestor Grand Method.

The might of the natal lethal poison is still vivid in Lu Chen's memory.

If it weren't for the Female Emperor's death-substitution curse, he might have died long ago.

"Such poison techniques can be cultivated one or two; perhaps they could exert some effect."

Thinking thus, Lu Chen takes down the Corrupt Immortal Miasma and the Myriad Poisons Return to the Ancestor Grand Method.

Seeing his action, Old Ancestor Luan Yue is full of confusion.

Her true form is a kind of poisonous snake, so she is naturally suited to become a poison cultivator.

And Lu Chen, an ordinary person, if he rashly cultivates poison techniques, will only lead to flesh rotting and other negative effects.

However, in the next moment she suddenly conceives another thought.

Combining the fact that when she previously unleashed her natal lethal poison Lu Chen remained unharmed, it seems Lu Chen does not fear his own poison.

"It seems he is someone from the Female Emperor's side?"

As she speculates, she suddenly sees Lu Chen over there picking up the toxin just secreted by the Nine Infant Toxic Fang and pouring it into his mouth.

"Are you crazy? This grade of toxin, even if diluted ten-thousandfold, is extremely deadly poison, and you actually just drank it down?"

Perhaps under the influence of a pulling technique, Luan Yue asks with a hint of concern.

Lu Chen ignores her, continuing to pour toxin into his mouth.

The Nine Infant Toxic Fang secretes little toxin; plus what remains on Luan Yue's body is only enough for him two sips.

Luan Yue watches him, expecting Lu Chen to show skin rot etc. within a few seconds, but she didn't expect Lu Chen to walk over to her side as if nothing were wrong.

"Are you alright?"

She asks.

Even she, before breaking through enlightenment, would not dare to directly consume the Nine Infant's toxin like this, while Lu Chen...

Lu Chen still did not answer; he quickly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began trying to refine the poison within his body.

As time passed bit by bit, the surprise on Old Ancestor Luan Yue's face grew ever stronger.

As a wisp of poison mist slowly appeared and then faded, Lu Chen opened his eyes.

"I never expected that practicing this demonic art would also enhance my cultivation."

Lu Chen let out a sigh, his face showing some delight.

"I am now only a step away from the Condensed Spirit Realm; I originally thought I could only attempt a breakthrough after returning to the Purple Imperial Palace, but it seems I can break through right here in the Myriad Demon Tower."

"Guard me."

Lu Chen said slowly.

Actually, he is still a short distance from breaking through.

But he did not choose to dual cultivate; instead, he chose to practice the Myriad Slaughter Devil Classic.

The reason is simple: he looks down on Luan Yue.

"Yes."

Luan Yue agreed, then proceeded to activate several protective formations.

Seeing the violent murderous qi swirling around Lu Chen, she grew increasingly shocked.

"Clearly there was still a considerable distance to the breakthrough before, yet now it seems he is about to break through?"

"Does his breakthrough have no bottleneck?"

Luan Yue was puzzled.

From her own breakthrough experience, after reaching a bottleneck one must solidify the Dao foundation for nearly two months before a smooth breakthrough can occur.

Otherwise, the breath will be unstable and the chance of breakthrough will be greatly reduced.

She had thought she would be guarding here for several months or even a year, when suddenly she felt a terrifying aura explode like a boom.

"This...... this is the breakthrough?"
