Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 479 Differentiation
Miasma rose, and poisonous insects scattered.

The Wushan Mountains trembled violently, and a line of colorful poisonous light shot out from the sky. Zhe Du's face lit up with joy, and a strange, deep black clay jar appeared in his hand.

Within the jar lay a hazy, poisonous light, intertwined with ever-changing incantations. He took a deep breath, his heart filled with barely suppressed joy.

The artifact containing the primordial poison, or even a treasure once used by that ancient sorcerer, was used to raise Gu poison.

His joy quickly faded as a heavy aura of malevolent light surged forth from nowhere, enveloping the area outside Wushan. Two Purple Mansions appeared in front of him, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

A man dressed in a black tiger robe with a fire mark between his brows, riding on demonic energy, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, made his origins easy to discern. Who else could he be but a member of the Wu family?
As for the other person, he was rather strange.

Zhe Du looked at the man in the gray robe. This man had sharp eyes and a sharp edge. Although he was only in the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, he could use his supernatural powers to seal off this place, which put Zhe Du under great pressure.

The talisman in his hand shimmered with light, leaping as if alive, causing a shiver to rise within the poisonous body.

"A talisman for warding off misfortune."

The Great Witch of Calamity, whose real name is Yuan E, is the master of Tian Du Mountain. He is at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm in the Dao of Calamity and is also the one who created the Poison-Breaking Technique.

Seeing this talisman manifest now, Zhe Du felt a strong sense of danger, but even more so, disbelief.

"I am Wen E, the successor of the Great Dao of Evil and Fiend. I have been born from the Central Heaven and have come here on the orders of the Imperial Family to take your life."

The evil master calmly and casually announced Zhe Du's death, causing the expressions of the sorcerers below to gradually turn ferocious.

"Qi Changsheng, and Yuan E. How dare they? I was born of destiny, caught between fortune and misfortune, and they..."

Zhe Du was always impulsive, but he was not stupid. After a little thought, he realized which official had given the order, and at this moment, he felt a sense of disbelief.

Why can't I kill you?

Wen E's voice was unhurried, a hint of mockery appearing on his face. He activated his supernatural powers, and the surrounding baleful light grew even stronger.

“My humble heart emerged from the Northern Thunder, and also received the Golden Edge; the Heavenly Buddha visited the Eastern Flower, but ultimately met with the utter destruction of the Great Void.”

"Aren't these two even more deserving of the title of 'born at the right time' than you? The calamity of the High Witch has fallen, and it is said that 'the original poison has returned.' The departure of the True Lord of Eternal Light has been said to be 'poison that brings disaster.' But who said that it would befall you?"

The surging, malevolent light rose and surged, and Zhe Du below held up the Five Poisons Altar in his hand, finally gaining some insight.

'I have been kept here until now only to obtain this item.'

Despite a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, the sight of that sorcerer's talisman made his fate clear.

Tiandu Mountain has always attached great importance to the words of the Supreme Witch, which is his reliance on to act recklessly. Even Qi Changsheng, considering the principle that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, should not dare to kill him.

“I am destined to die; if you kill me, Heaven will surely respond.”

Zhe Du was now somewhat flustered, his fierce demeanor masking his inner weakness, and he no longer possessed the unbridled arrogance he had displayed before.

His insect body has existed for a very long time, but he has only truly gained wisdom for a few decades. He thought he had a very clear understanding of the overall situation, but now his opponent has made an unreasonable move, almost forcing him into a dead end.

"This is the time for your downfall."

The harsh voice was like a cold wind, making Zhe Du's thoughts even more chaotic.

'Perhaps something changed in the two realms, allowing Yuan'e and Qi Changsheng to obtain the information, which gave them the confidence to kill me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted this way.'

Zhe Du exhaled a deep breath of poison, raised his head to look at the other person, and his eyes gradually darkened.

The person before them, Zi Fu, was none other than the successor of the Black Fiend Demonic Path. He came from a grotto-heaven, and his cultivation, supernatural powers, and magical artifacts were all of the highest caliber in the world.

Moreover, there was also the martial arts master beside him, who possessed an extremely perfect aura of blessing, which subtly emanated fluctuations that made people's hearts tremble.

Whether he can defeat these two is no longer important. From the moment Tiandu Mountain and the Song family abandoned him, this sorcerer was no different from being doomed.

However, he was unwilling to accept it.

The poisonous light filled the air, and the flesh beneath the folded poisonous robe churned incessantly. The eerie aura on the face grew ever stronger, and the colorful poisonous mist gradually clashed with the malevolent energy.

Wen E's expression remained unchanged as he watched the person before him struggle indifferently. The black demon, as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sea, rolled and transformed into a ferocious giant beast, stirring up a malevolent light, and like a corpse demon, it emerged from the ground.

In his hand appeared a deep black round stone. This object was uncarved, yet it exuded an extremely majestic aura, suppressing the Poisonous Divine Power, causing the poisonous light to sink, and the flesh on his face and hands to be as if it had been shaved away, revealing stark white bones. "An object of the Black Fiend Dao lineage."

The shaman immediately recognized the origin of this thing. [Beichen] is a celestial path on par with [Donghua], and its lineage has survived to this day without interruption, leaving behind countless powerful spiritual artifacts.

A ferocious aura rose in his heart. Zhe Du was now somewhat determined to fight to the death. With his bare, skeletal hands, he lifted the precious altar, and a colorful poisonous mist instantly rose up.

Wen E merely watched the sorcerer perform his act indifferently, then once again activated the black stone in his hand, unleashing two beams of malevolent light, one like a snake with its tail wrapped around its neck, and the other like a black sun hiding a crow.

The two beams of malevolent light descended one after the other, blocking the witch's treasure in the opponent's hand, causing Zhe Du's expression to change drastically.

The black stone in the opponent's hand was no ordinary spiritual treasure; its power was terrifying. Once it was unleashed, it firmly suppressed him. Zhe Du, on the other hand, did not possess any powerful spiritual artifacts. He only summoned a few bone weapons, which were instantly reduced to ashes by the baleful light.

Nan Wang, standing to the side, activated his supernatural powers to help seal off the area. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhe Du activated his supernatural powers as well, and a red centipede, a golden scorpion, and a white toad appeared one after another.

These are the Primordial Poison Divine Powers: the Crimson Fighting Centipede, the Filthy Scorpion, and the Netherworld Toad.

The moment these three supernatural powers were unleashed, they harmonized life and death, causing the sorcerer's physical body to become restless and his aura to surge, far exceeding that of the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. His flesh and blood were replenished once more, and he actually smashed through the surrounding evil energy, attempting to escape from this place and leave the cave.

Wen E activated the talisman in his hand. The talisman floated up, carrying with it the prayers of the ancestors, and then bursts of blood-red light and burning flames. Like a net descending from the sky, it firmly bound Zhe Du.

The sorcerer's magical body began to gradually dissolve, turning into a pool of pus, while the three poisonous insects behind him became increasingly solidified, their toxicity terrifying, causing Nan Wang to frown deeply.

Why, why?

Zhe Du muttered to himself. He had lived for a very long time and had always been supported in Tian Du Mountain. It was only after the Dao oath was revealed and the two evils were separated that he gained intelligence and was born as a supernatural being. He thought that the Great Dao was within reach, but now he was about to lose his life.

Wen E unleashed his murderous aura, putting away the Five Poisons Altar. Looking at the poison sorcerer's remaining head, he coldly said:
"If you were merely a poisonous insect in the mountains, naturally no one would bother with you. Zhe Du, you are too greedy and too arrogant. Even Tian Du Mountain has embraced the immortal path and abides by the rules, let alone you?"

"Relying on your status, you acted recklessly and offended too many people. Taizhen and Fuchen both disliked you. Your fall today is the result of all kinds of retribution."

Upon hearing this, Zhe Du's expression gradually turned ferocious. He opened his worm-like mouth and roared:
"Am I too greedy? Am I too arrogant? The sorcerers have seized my lineage and usurped the Yuan Du, how can they not be greedy? The immortals have conquered barbarians and slaughtered heretics, how can they not be arrogant?"

"Whose position was Li Huo in the past? Now we can see the traces of the Vermilion Bird. Geng Jin was the rightful heir of the Black Fiend in the old year. Today, Lord Bai Yi is to be the witness. Why don't you go and find Tai Zhen?"

A profound silence fell over the world. Nan Wang felt a chill run down his spine. Zhe Du truly deserved to die; he had offended the two lords with just a few words.

"Take action and settle this matter."

Wen E's voice gradually deepened, ignoring Zhe Du's wild words, and he only looked at Nan Wang beside him.

The martial arts master stepped forward gracefully, and from his hand appeared a golden jade ruyi, surrounded by auspicious clouds and shimmering with good fortune, sweeping away the poisonous and gloomy aura from all directions.

The sorcerer raised his head, his insect-like compound eyes fixed on Nan Wang. His mouth was now filled with golden evil energy, a bloody mess, making it difficult for him to utter another word.

Nan Wang activated his supernatural powers, and the light of the demon shone brightly in the room, echoing the evil aura beside him. Holding the Ruyi scepter, he silently said "I apologize" and then mustered all his strength to strike the sorcerer's head hard.

Boom!

His body, which was originally as solid as a spiritual artifact, instantly disintegrated under this blessed light. Zhe Du raised his head, his eyes filled with deep resentment, but he still turned into ashes in this blessed light.

The venomous light shot straight into the sky, and the colorful poisonous mist fell into the mountains. Various strange insects appeared and instantly disappeared into the Wushan Mountains.

This strange phenomenon almost covered the entire Wushan area. If it weren't for the great formation restraining it within the cave, it would have turned an entire prefecture into a poisonous pool, leaving no trace of human habitation.

The red centipede, golden scorpion, and white toad solidified completely. Wen E activated his supernatural powers to capture the poisonous insects corresponding to these powers.

The distant Wushan Mountain began to tremble, causing Wen'e's expression to change slightly. Countless incantations emerged from the mountain, soared into the air, and landed on the three poisonous insects, causing them to gradually become restless and develop sentience, as if they had truly come to life.

The incantation pulsed continuously, empowering the three poisonous creatures formed from supernatural powers, causing them to instantly transform into streaks of light and escape. Even when Wen E activated his supernatural powers and summoned his spiritual treasures, he could not stop them.

"No need to chase after them, let them go."

A voice rose faintly in his heart, causing Wen E to stop his methods and his expression to darken.

At this moment, Nan Wang looked at the streams of light. The golden scorpion and the white toad had both escaped from the cave, but the red centipede seemed to have gone into the cave.
