Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Small gaps suddenly split open on a sealed building of the Poison Devouring Sect, revealing eerie black voids.

Those horrifying, ghastly infant cries were coming from each of the black voids.

Within the voids, pairs of ghastly green eyes could be seen shifting, making everyone's scalp tingle with fear.

Even just hearing the sounds was enough to make one's blood run cold!

What's more, with the sky blotted out by black clouds, the world dimmed, and sinister winds gusting about, everyone felt a chill that went straight to their bones.

The cries, the sinister wind, the ghastly green eyes—it made everyone feel as if they had stumbled into a haunted land.

Moreover, listening to those cries, everyone felt a suffocating pressure on their hearts that made it hard to breathe.

"Be careful! These infant cries carry a mental attack!"

"It can affect us even from this far away! What would happen to someone who got closer?"

...

The crowd cried out in alarm, quickly retreating while trying to steady their minds.

At the same time, they looked ahead with lingering fear.

They watched as the hearts of the few Celestial Twin Sect disciples who had followed them suddenly burst, killing them on the spot.

In contrast, the baby in Xiaoran's arms was perfectly fine, seemingly unaffected by the wailing.

Xiaoran and Liu Tian's faces were also deathly pale.

Only Jiang Jichen, Little Gray, Luochen Fairy, and the thirty-odd Skeleton Soldiers remained unaffected.

Jiang Jichen frowned and focused his Divine Thought Power, projecting a single word: "Halt!"

This sound was imbued with Jiang Jichen's formidable mental power.

As the sound rang out, a sudden silence fell over the world.

The horrifying, ghastly infant cries were abruptly silenced.

"SCREE SCREE..."

The infant wails were gone, replaced by their strange, furious shrieks.

Then, one after another, small figures shot out from the eerie black voids.

In an instant, over a hundred infants were hovering in the air.

This...

The moment they saw those infants, a chill ran down everyone's spine.

Each infant had green-tinged skin, which oozed a disgusting and horrifying venom.

Their ghastly green eyes were filled with savagery, brutality, and cold-blooded cruelty.

Most terrifying of all were their long, sharp, black fingernails and rows of incomparably sharp teeth...

These were the Magical Treasures refined from living infants!

At this sight, some began to tremble uncontrollably, and some female Cultivators felt so nauseated they had to fight back the urge to vomit.

It had long been rumored that the people of the Poison Devouring Sect were cruel and vicious to the extreme, refining living infants into Magical Treasures.

But those were just rumors; they had never witnessed it firsthand.

Until this moment, when they saw it with their own eyes.

Even those who were normally utterly ruthless felt their legs go weak at the sight.

"The Poison Devouring Sect... How can they be so utterly inhuman?"

"An act this evil enrages both gods and men! Heaven itself cannot tolerate it!"

"Why does the Law Enforcement Association of the Six Paths Illusion Realm allow this to happen? Why don't they wipe out a Sect like Poison Devouring, which the Six Paths itself cannot condone?"

...

At this moment, many in the crowd began to voice their accusations, their faces grim.

Although this was a world where the strong reigned supreme and the weak were prey, some things were simply taboo.

What the Poison Devouring Sect had done was one of them.

And yet, no one dared to step in and stop them!

Xiaoran and Liu Tian stared at the hundred-odd Poisonous Infants floating in the air, their faces utterly drained of color.

They thought of their own child. If he were to fall into the hands of these people, then...

Many of the onlookers were parents themselves, and seeing this, they too were filled with an extreme, searing hatred.

But they also felt powerless.

The Poison Devouring Sect was simply too powerful; they were no match for them at all.

Jiang Jichen stood in the middle of the field, surrounded by the Poison Infant Treasures.

He motioned for Luochen Fairy and the others to stay back, for he could sense the terrifyingly potent poison radiating from the Poisonous Infants.

The saying that a single touch could melt flesh and scatter the soul was no exaggeration.

Therefore, he had to face these Poisonous Infants alone. With his extraordinary constitution and the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment in his possession, he was fearless.

Facing over a hundred Poisonous Infants alone, Jiang Jichen felt no anger. There was only a cold indifference and an endless killing intent.

A killing intent aimed squarely at the Poison Devouring Sect!

'He wasn't some righteous crusader, nor was he a hero.'

'He had no desire to do good deeds or uphold justice.'

'If something didn't concern him, he could walk away without a second thought.'

'But not this time!'

'Everyone had their own code, their own bottom line.'

'The Poison Devouring Sect's practice of refining living infants into Magical Treasures had completely crossed his.'

'So he wasn't fighting for justice; he was fighting for himself.'

Jiang Jichen coldly watched the grotesque infants in the air, gripping the Poison-Devouring Pearl so tightly it felt as if his body was merging with it.

At the same time, the Ancient Medicine Cauldron manifested, and the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth transformed into Battle Armor, wrapping around his body.

With his strongest defensive state active, Jiang Jichen stepped forward and charged.

Miao Que, the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect, stood ahead, watching Jiang Jichen with a cold sneer.

He began forming a series of mysterious Hand Seals while silently chanting a strange Spell.

In an instant, the hundred-odd Poisonous Infants in the air transformed into a wave of green light, surging toward Jiang Jichen.

"Haha... You think you can block the attack of my Poison Infant Treasures that easily?"

"In your dreams! Go die!"

Miao Que laughed like a madman.

He continued controlling the Poison Infant Treasures, sending them to kill Jiang Jichen.

The Poison Infant Treasures moved at extreme speeds, tearing through the air.

Their thin, sharp claws and teeth seemed to tear through the very air.

"SCREE SCREE..."

The Poison Infant Treasures shrieked incessantly, moving with unparalleled Frenzy.

Jiang Jichen's Seven-Colored Divine Thought swirled, easily tracking their trajectories.

Just as Jiang Jichen was about to smash a nearby Poison Infant Treasure with Sinking Mountain...

BANG!

But that Poisonous Infant suddenly exploded, sending a rain of poisonous blood spraying in all directions.

Even Jiang Jichen hadn't expected the Poison Infant Treasure to self-destruct without any warning.

He only had time for a slight sidestep.

But it was impossible to dodge completely, and he was still spattered with the poisonous blood.

Instantly, the toxic blood melted through even the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth, carving a deep wound into his shoulder.

And this was with Jiang Jichen's powerful physique, unparalleled defense, and astonishing resistance to poison.

Had it been anyone else, a single drop would have melted their flesh and scattered their soul.

"Haha... Didn't see that coming, did you? I can make these Poison Infant Treasures self-destruct with a single thought!"

"Jiang Jichen, how will you dodge now?"

Miao Que laughed endlessly, his arrogance knowing no bounds, believing he had Jiang Jichen right where he wanted him.

Jiang Jichen's expression, however, remained unchanged.

He was carefully analyzing the sensation of the poisonous blood entering his body.

'It could indeed melt flesh and extinguish the Divine Soul.'

'But my physical body and Divine Soul are astonishingly powerful and uniquely extraordinary.'

'They won't be destroyed so easily.'

He circulated the Undying Scripture, finally resisting the poison's invasion.

Moreover, this Poison Refining Body process would only make his constitution stronger.

"Why should I dodge?"

After analyzing the effects of the Poisonous Infant's blood, Jiang Jichen gripped Sinking Mountain.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging forward.

His Divine Thought locked onto an approaching Poisonous Infant, and he strode forward.

Mountain River Shadow!

Heaven-Breaking Saber!

Combining the Step Technique and Saber Technique, Jiang Jichen shattered a Poisonous Infant with a single blow from his saber.

SPLAT!

Endless poisonous blood rained down, splashing all over him and sizzling as it melted his flesh.

"Haha... How exhilarating!"

But Jiang Jichen only laughed wildly as he advanced, bathed in the rain of poisonous blood.
