Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 76—Ultimate Poison!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a snow-white swan's kiss! You're not going to eat that, are you?!" Liehuo Xingjiao exclaimed in astonishment, her body trembling violently.

"That thing, you can't eat it!" the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass solemnly warned.

"I'm not crazy, why would I eat it?" Qian Lingyun looked at the two strange immortal herbs with a bewildered expression and explained, "I only use it to strengthen my Death Scythe. I'm going to eat another immortal herb."

After saying that, Qian Lingyun took out the Heart of Qiluo, which she had borrowed from the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb in the No. 4 Flower Garden. She opened her mouth and put the Heart of Qiluo under her tongue. She took a deep breath, her arms transformed into death scythes, and then began to use her soul power to catalyze the seemingly pure white immortal herb.

Under the watchful eyes of the fiery apricot blossoms and the eight-cornered ice grass, the snow-white swan kiss truly resembled a graceful swan, fluttering up and down in front of Qian Lingyun's arms, which exuded a chilling aura.

At first, it only twisted slightly a few times, then decomposed into white energy from the outside in, quietly adhering to Qian Lingyun's arm scythes.

When the white energy first entered her body, Qian Lingyun felt her arms were warm and comfortable, as if a warm liquid was enveloping them.

However, this warmth quickly turned into intense heat, as if something was burning against her arms.

Even more terrifying, the intense heat was gradually spreading upwards from her arms, and white lines were spreading along Qian Lingyun's arms toward her heart.

Fortunately, Qian Lingyun had the Qiluo Heart in her mouth. Under the protection of the Qiluo Heart, although her soul power was circulating at high speed, the poison could not cross the line and could only swirl around her arms.

Time passed second by second, and the scorching heat was gone, replaced by a bone-chilling cold.

It seems that... the surging toxins have given up on going elsewhere and instead lingered in Qian Lingyun's arm scythes.

"Huff...ha..." Qian Lingyun gasped for breath after surviving the ordeal. Large beads of sweat slid down her chin, and her clothes, along with the large area of ​​ground beneath her, were soaked with cold sweat.

She looked up at her arms and saw countless white, net-like patterns spreading downwards from her elbows. As expected, the day the white net-like patterns completely covered the Death Scythe would be the day she fully merged with the Snow Swan Kiss.

After an unknown amount of time, the white patterns on Qian Lingyun's scythes were completely formed. She sat quietly for a while and gently exhaled the Qiluo Heart from her mouth.

She stood up, intending to see just how far her Death Scythe had evolved.

Qian Lingyun casually summoned a few skeleton soldiers, and lightly swung her scythe at them. A purplish-black blade light shot out along with the scythe, directly cleaving the skeleton soldiers in two.

Even more terrifying was that... on the pale bones where the skeleton soldier had been severed, black residual poison was spreading to other places at a visible speed. In just a few breaths, the blackness, representing death and annihilation, had already spread to the skeleton soldier's head. As the poison spread, the pale blue ghost fire flickered a few times and then went out with a "poof".

"Wow!" Both Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass exclaimed in surprise!

"It seems my fusion was successful." Qian Lingyun restored the scythe to her fair hands and took out the celestial medicine she used to consume.

It was a delicate white herb, as pure and immaculate as a lotus root. This celestial herb was called Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle. It could nourish tendons and bones, and promote the flow of Qi through the eight extraordinary meridians.

"Before enjoying the delicacies, let's have some appetizers."

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun took out a golden ginseng and used a knife to pierce the skin of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king. Then she immediately put her mouth to it and gently sucked on it. Soon, the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king shriveled up.

The essence inside turned into juice and flowed into her stomach.

Although this ancient ginseng king cannot be considered a celestial product, it is still a rare spiritual medicine with very potent medicinal effects.

Although there's not much essence left in the ginseng peel, it can still be used to make tea. With that in mind, Qian Lingyun took a piece of red cloth and wrapped it up tightly.

In the short time it took to put away the ginseng skin, Qian Lingyun's face had already turned from fair to bright red, which showed how effective the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King was.

Using her soul power to slightly enhance the medicinal effects, Qian Lingyun picked up the Narcissus Jade Bone, tore off the petals one by one and swallowed them, and finally sucked out its stamens.

As the Narcissus Jade entered her body, Qian Lingyun felt a cool current flow from her muscles and bones to her limbs and bones, instantly relieving the extreme heat brought by the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King.

In the demiplane, there was no sun or moon. After an unknown amount of time, Qian Lingyun was awakened from her cultivation by something warm and damp. When she looked up, she saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion pressed against her face, licking her cheek with its wet tongue.

Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side, was watching her with a half-smile. When she saw that she had woken up, Qian Renxue chuckled and pulled Qian Lingyun up, saying, "Those two complementary immortal herbs have increased my soul power by seven levels. I only need one soul ring to break through to the Soul King level."

"Yes, I've found your spirit ring." Qian Lingyun wiped the drool the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had left on her face, then led Qian Renxue to the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot beside Jiao Shu. "Jiao Jiao, I've brought them. You two can talk it over!"

"Okay." Liehuo Xingjiao shook her leaves, organized her thoughts, and said, "Your sister said that you can return to your divine position in the future, and that once I offer a sacrifice to you, you can resurrect me in the divine realm."

Looking at the large red cabbage in front of her, Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised. Although she didn't know where the eyes were, she did feel that a pair of eyes were staring at her with eager eyes.

"I don't know if I can ascend to godhood, but I can guarantee that once I go to the God Realm, I will definitely resurrect you." Looking at this immortal plant with 100,000 years of cultivation, Qian Renxue said expressionlessly, "So, are you willing to bet that I can ascend to godhood again? This is a path with no turning back."

"...", Liehuo Xingjiao looked at the dim sky and fell silent.

After a moment's hesitation, and after much internal struggle, Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu finally agreed, saying, "Swear an oath, and I'll go with you!"

"Alright." Qian Renxue took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I, Qian Renxue, swear in the name of the Angel God that Liehuo Xingjiaoshu has sacrificed herself to me today. One day, when I ascend to the divine realm again, I will surely resurrect her. If I utter a single falsehood, may my divine position be shattered and I never be reborn."

"Let's begin." Fiery Apricot radiated a dazzling crimson light, and waves of heat surged outwards from where it was rooted.

Her cabbage-shaped, fiery red body burned with a dazzling red light, and her enormous form became increasingly ethereal.

Wherever the red light passed, everything was tinged with blood. Everything seemed to freeze in that instant.

Its body turned completely red, and at the center of the red light, flames burned fiercely, burning its 100,000 years of cultivation and flesh and blood, finally transforming into a blood-red halo.

With a flash of light, everything mysteriously vanished, leaving only the fiery apricot blossoms lying on the ground.

At that moment, all four of Qian Renxue's spirit rings began to tremble slightly.
