Chapter 528 526: Body Refining in Blood
Such a frenzied and utterly intense scene shocked all who witnessed it.
How could there be a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator in this world who was unafraid of the blood from the Poison Devouring Sect's Poison Infant Treasures?
He strode forward, bathed in poisonous blood, laughing maniacally like a divine demon.
Wounds opened across his body, his flesh sloughing off to reveal the stark white bone beneath.
Yet he neither retreated nor showed fear. Instead, he attacked with even greater ferocity.
He pushed his Shadow Step to its absolute limit, the Ancient Medicine Cauldron on his back, Sinking Mountain in his hand, and the Poison-Devouring Pearl in his mouth.
His figure darted between heaven and earth, his blade capable of sweeping away countless enemies with a single strike.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
For the sake of the justice and principles held in his heart.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
To make every beast in this world bow its head in submission.
At this moment, Jiang Jichen's mind was a blank slate, fully immersed in the ultimate path of slaughter.
Life and death were irrelevant; he sought only the thrill of a satisfying slaughter!
POP!
POP!
POP!
With three consecutive slashes, the grotesque cries of three Poisonous Infants ceased abruptly as they exploded into a bloody rain that showered his body.
The poisonous blood continuously corroded and dissolved his flesh.
But at the same time, it was also tempering and strengthening it.
The Vice Sect Leader of the Poison Devouring Sect, so arrogant just a moment before, was now trembling all over, staring in terror at the unkillable, blood-soaked Killing God.
"I don't believe this! I'll have ten of my Poisonous Infants self-destruct at once. Let's see you survive being drowned in a tide of their blood!"
Miao Que roared, crazed, and directed ten Poison Infant Treasures to charge at Jiang Jichen from all directions.
BOOM!
The ten Poison Infant Treasures exploded simultaneously, transforming into a tide of blood that completely submerged Jiang Jichen.
The next moment, Jiang Jichen was a mangled wreck of flesh and blood, his features utterly unrecognizable.
Moreover, his flesh continued to dissolve.
Stark white bone was visible everywhere.
The sight was absolutely, utterly gruesome.
But Jiang Jichen remained, laughing grimly. "Only ten? You're being too stingy. Allow me to help you!"
As he spoke, Jiang Jichen's figure suddenly blurred into motion.
Illusory Indeterminacy!
Six Harmonies Unite!
....
At this moment, Jiang Jichen moved so fast he seemed to flicker across the void.
And with each flicker, a burst of blood-red light erupted—another Poison Infant Treasure had been destroyed.
POP!
POP!
POP!
....
One after another, the Poison Infant Treasures exploded, dyeing the surrounding void with blood.
When the strange, whimpering cries faded away, a dead silence fell over the battlefield.
Jiang Jichen's figure finally reappeared before the crowd.
His body was a tattered ruin, corroded and dripping with poison.
But the onlookers also noticed something: the poison could no longer corrode the few scraps of flesh remaining on his body in the slightest.
"Ah, he's using Poison Blood Refining Body! That… that absolute madman!"
"But… it looks like he's succeeded!"
"Success? Looking like that? Clearly not. He's still one step away from finishing!"
"That final step… is rebirth from the flames!"
...
Everyone who witnessed this felt a chill creep down their spine.
Miao Que's will to fight had plummeted to rock bottom.
The hundred-odd Poisonous Infants he had spent decades and countless resources nurturing were now completely destroyed.
"Today, the Poison Devouring Sect will fall. No one can stop it!"
Jiang Jichen's hoarse voice rang out.
His eyes, streaming with blood, were fixed coldly on Miao Que.
Right now, Jiang Jichen looked like a malevolent demon that had crawled out of Hell itself.
He looked utterly terrifying, a truly chilling sight.
"No… The Poison Devouring Sect won't be destroyed! We still have the Sect Leader…"
Miao Que screamed in terror.
Before he could finish, a terrifying force erupted, sending him flying to the side with a deafening CRASH.
"You useless piece of trash! I was in seclusion for a short time, and you nearly let the Poison Devouring Sect be annihilated!"
As the voice sounded, a figure materialized.
He was a tall young man, but his eyes held an ancient, world-weary look.
Clearly, he was far older than his youthful appearance suggested.
He wore a black robe, his expression grim and forbidding.
"So it's you who wants to destroy my Poison Devouring Sect?"
The black-robed youth's electric gaze fell upon Jiang Jichen as he asked coldly.
Jiang Jichen smiled grimly. "Back when Sand Snake Ancestor came to kill me, I told him that once I established myself in Chaotic City, I would use the Poison Sect's grounds as a foothold for my Luochen Sect. If I don't wipe you out, how am I supposed to do that?"
"You dare to dream of such a thing? In that wretched state of yours?"
"None of you who came here today will be leaving. You will all die… As for your so-called Luochen Sect? I will personally pay it a visit and slaughter every last one of them."
The black-robed youth was supremely arrogant, paying Jiang Jichen no mind whatsoever.
He had just emerged from secluded cultivation after achieving a breakthrough.
He had been ranked seventy-eighth on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's list of experts, and he expected to rise several ranks now.
In truth, the top eighty on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list was a major dividing line.
Within the top eighty, advancing even a single rank was an incredibly difficult feat.
Moreover, the gap in power between each rank was enormous, making it extremely hard to surpass anyone!
But this breakthrough during his seclusion had granted Mo Zhao, the Sect Master of the Poison Devouring Sect, a qualitative leap in strength.
Thus, he was incredibly arrogant, possessing the kind of power that could turn enemies to dust with a casual wave of his hand.
Jiang Jichen stared at Mo Zhao and spoke in a ragged voice, "You'd have to be able to leave this place first. But today, you will fade into eternity along with your Poison Devouring Sect."
"I said that everyone from the Poison Devouring Sect must die. You are no exception!"
As he spoke, raging black flames suddenly erupted from Jiang Jichen's body.
An ancient, primal aura spread across the battlefield.
The expressions of everyone who sensed it changed drastically.
"The aura of a Demon Phoenix!"
"The Demon Phoenix Technique!"
"How does he know the Demon Phoenix's undying rebirth technique?"
...
Before the shocked eyes of the crowd, the Demon Phoenix Flame instantly incinerated all the poison blood within his body.
Then, as the Demon Phoenix's Rebirth Technique activated, Jiang Jichen's body recovered at a terrifying speed, becoming as good as new in an instant.
"The Demon Flame burns away the poison blood, followed by the art of undying rebirth!"
"No wonder he dared to undergo Poison Blood Refining Body! He just took the final step—rebirth through poisonous blood! His body is even stronger now, impervious to all poisons. He's too powerful!"
At that moment, everyone understood.
Now, a perfectly restored Jiang Jichen stood before Mo Zhao, the Sect Master of the Poison Devouring Sect.
His eyes shone like stars, his physique was flawless, and his aura was as deep as an abyss and as steady as a mountain. He was even more powerful than before.
"Jiang Jichen, you are certainly impressive. But in the end, you're just a newcomer. You have no idea how terrifyingly powerful those in the top eighty of the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list truly are!"
"With your pitiful level of Cultivation, you think you can contend with me?"
"Die!"
Mo Zhao was direct. Even as he spoke, he had already unleashed a casual palm strike.
BOOM!
A Palm Shadow blotted out the sky, carrying with it an endless pressure. Poisonous runes surged like a ceaseless tide, rushing to engulf Jiang Jichen.
'So strong!'
Jiang Jichen felt the immense power of this Palm Intent.
PFFT!
He was instantly sent flying by the storm of poisonous runes. His body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.
But Jiang Jichen quickly steadied himself. Facing the storm of poisonous runes, he swung Sinking Mountain and charged forward in a counterattack.
"Break!"
Charging into the storm of poisonous runes, Jiang Jichen swung his blade.
A brilliant Blade Aura tore through the void, parting the storm of poisonous runes.
Then, with a single step, Jiang Jichen appeared before Mo Zhao.
Using his body as a weapon, he slammed straight into him!
