Chapter 171 - 131: Netherworld Bone-Eroding, Medical Saint’s Medicine Body
When the hidden compartment opened again, everyone in the village had been slaughtered, except for the senior brother who had brought him into the sect.
Perhaps it was due to his cold nature, but the young Fang Yuan did not cry.
"If you want them to continue to exist, then refine them into Bone-Eroding Poison. That way, not only can they remain by your side, but they can also help you slay your enemies."
"One day, when you use the Bone-Eroding Poison refined from their flesh and blood to kill those bastards, it will be as if they’ve taken revenge with their own hands."
It was because of his senior brother’s words that Fang Yuan personally dug out the organs of his parents, sisters, and brothers.
He slowly collected their blood into a large jar.
He mashed their flesh and blood.
Under his senior brother’s guidance, his first attempt at Alchemy was unexpectedly a success.
"This is a Bone Pill, made from human flesh and blood. It can cure a hundred poisons," his senior brother said.
"Didn’t I refine a Poison Pill?" Fang Yuan asked in confusion.
"Only when the Bone Pill is combined with an Erosion Pill does it become the virulent Bone-Eroding Poison."
"The Bone Pill you refined from the flesh and blood of your family is the one most attuned to you. One day, your achievements will surely surpass mine."
His astonishing Talent allowed Fang Yuan to join the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect.
Not long after, Fang Yuan refined true Bone-Eroding Poison. With it, he personally annihilated an entire den of mountain bandits, leaving not even their bones behind.
This was the first time Fang Yuan felt a sense of belonging to the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect. He was grateful for everything the sect had given him, for allowing him to take revenge with his own hands.
From then on, Fang Yuan’s fame within the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect grew.
"The Bone-Eroding Demon Sect is the oldest Demon Sect under the Saint Demon Sect’s command, existing since the time of the first Saint Master."
"One day, the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect will surely rise again in the world along with the Saint Demon Sect."
These were the words his Master spoke to him when he was accepted as a True Disciple.
That was the first time Fang Yuan had ever heard the name "Saint Demon Sect."
"The Bone-Eroding Demon Sect is yours now."
"I hope that one day, you will see the Saint Demon Sect rise. Remember, the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect and the Saint Demon Sect are forever inseparable. The very reason for the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect’s existence is to be the number one Demon Sect under the Saint Demon Sect’s command!"
These were the last words his Master spoke to him before passing away.
He seemed to have died with immense regret, unable to witness the rise of the Saint Demon Sect and having personally seen the failure of Saint Master Yang Jingtian.
But now, Fang Yuan seemed to see a glimmer of light.
This generation’s Saint Master possessed the Root Bone of an Ancient Hero, was exceptionally intelligent, had a unique vision, and most importantly, was daring in his actions. When Fang Yuan first heard of the Saint Master’s plan, he too was somewhat astonished.
But he was still willing to act according to the plan.
Whether they succeeded or failed, he would have accompanied this generation’s Saint Master in accomplishing something the previous generation’s Saint Master could never do.
Fang Yuan reached into his pocket and slowly typed out a message in the chat group.
Bone-Eroding Demon Sect: Though I have slain the enemy Huaa Lin, I too will perish. This old man’s skills were inferior, and I am deeply ashamed. I can no longer serve the Holy Sect. I ask the Saint Master to appoint another to the position of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect.
Lu Changfeng, who was rushing toward the Capital Region, pulled a slip of paper from his robes. Upon seeing the message, Bai Touweng, who was at his side, clearly saw Lu Changfeng’s fingers tremble slightly.
Lu Changfeng gently typed out a response.
Saint Master: Do not worry, master of the Demon Sect. One day, I will take Emperor Song’s head and offer it in your memory.
The moment Fang Yuan saw the reply, the dry skin on his face cracked slightly, revealing an ugly smile.
BANG!
The smile was knocked crooked by Huaa Lin’s white-scaled fist.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Huaa Lin rained down punches, determined to beat this old poison-master to death before his Spiritual Power ran out.
Fang Yuan felt his Life Force steadily declining. He would delay no longer.
Demon Fiend Skill: ’Poison Dragon Assault’!
A black and green Poison Dragon suddenly shot out from behind Fang Yuan!
Because they were too close, Huaa Lin didn’t have time to react before the Poison Dragon bit down on him!
By this point, Huaa Lin had also consumed too much Spiritual Power. He wanted to break free, but for a moment, he found he couldn’t!
The Poison Dragon continued to inject venom into Huaa Lin’s body, but with the help of his ’Medical Saint’s Medicine Body,’ the poison’s effect was greatly diminished.
"Why struggle so desperately? The sooner you die, the sooner you’ll be reborn!"
Huaa Lin saw the Poison Dragon flickering and guessed that Fang Yuan’s Spiritual Power was also about to run dry.
In truth, Fang Yuan was already dissolving the power of his Spirit Body.
This was the disadvantage of walking the Extreme Dao. Under special circumstances, Fang Yuan, relying on his formidable poisons, had a chance of defeating ten Rebirth Realm experts by himself.
But when facing Huaa Lin, his nemesis, Fang Yuan’s lack of sufficient Spiritual Power became apparent.
However, that didn’t mean Fang Yuan was incapable of a desperate, final struggle.
"I have a poison that comes from the Netherworld. I wonder if you can undo it," Fang Yuan said with a sudden laugh.
Hearing this, Huaa Lin’s brows furrowed. He had a bad feeling.
He was contemplating whether he should dissolve his Spirit Body to unleash a burst of Spiritual Power and escape.
But Fang Yuan gave him no such chance.
Demon Fiend Skill: ’Netherworld Poison’!
Fang Yuan’s flesh and blood began to boil. His entire body started to seethe like boiling water!
"This is my final poison, the Netherworld Bone-Eroding Poison!"
Fang Yuan’s very flesh and blood was the Bone-Eroding Poison. His body dissolved, and enveloped by the power of the Netherworld, it transformed into a terrifying, giant net in the shape of a human face!
The face was cold and supreme, like the legendary Lord of the Netherworld.
The Poison Dragon released Huaa Lin, who immediately dissolved his Spirit Body in an attempt to flee!
However, the giant net-face was too large. The instant its gaze locked onto Huaa Lin, his figure paused for a fraction of a second. He felt his soul stagnate.
’It seems... my soul has been afflicted by some kind of poison?’
Seizing the opportunity, the giant net-face swooped down and enveloped him.
The giant net-face, nearly a hundred meters in diameter, could have originally taken many more lives.
But now, all of it was reserved for Huaa Lin alone.
After enveloping Huaa Lin, the giant net-face began to contract.
Looking down from the sky, one could see the face of the Lord of the Netherworld rapidly shrinking.
It shrank until it became a single point, and then, nothing could be seen at all.
It was as if Huaa Lin had vanished from this world.
Vanishing along with him...
...was Fang Yuan of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect.
They both departed in the exact same way, without leaving behind even a shred of flesh and blood. And no one knew where their souls would find their final rest.
