“Temporal Chaos!”
Yuexi’s longsword cast a swing, with its Sword Qi inducing temporal chaos, slashing towards the head of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede from the left!
“Sword Domain!”
Lu Changsheng started with the Fifth Sword Realm, turning his surroundings into a world of swords. The longswords of the disciples from the Mysterious Lady Palace were all vibrating, seemingly resonating with Lu Changsheng’s Cultivation Technique.
The Sword Qi from the Fifth Sword Realm cleaved through the air with overwhelming might, no less powerful than Yuexi’s swordsmanship from the Mysterious Lady Palace.
Two utterly different but equally formidable Sword Qis, one from the left and one from the right, cut through the gold and yellow mist unleashed by the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede, slicing it into three segments!
The massive body of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede fell to the ground, the carcass resembling three meaty mountains.
The gaze of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede lost its luster.
“Did we get it?”
“Worthy of being Sister Yue.”
“That Lu Changsheng, who defeated the Emperor at the Heavenly Court conference, is also very strong.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Even our Sister Yue hasn’t defeated the Emperor, this man is even stronger than Sister Yue.”
The people from the Mysterious Lady Palace marveled as they joined hands, purging the Ancient Demon Worms that had broken into the Liuren Great Formation.
“This demon beast is tough to deal with. Everyone, follow my command and fill the vacancies in the Great Formation.”
After dealing with the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede, Yuexi prepared to readjust the Liuren Great Formation.
Just now, many disciples from the Mysterious Lady Palace had been killed by the Ancient Demon Worms that invaded the Formation, leaving gaps that needed to be refilled and the Formation reorganized according to the available personnel.
Yuexi had just turned around when the lifeless Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede opened its eyes once again.
The disciples from the Mysterious Lady Palace panicked: “Sister, be ca—careful!”
Before Yuexi could turn back, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede opened its gaping maw, spraying out highly toxic venom!
The venom covered a wide area, and Yuexi had no chance to escape!
This time, it was over.
Just as this thought flashed through Yuexi’s mind, a figure stood in front of her.
Lu Changsheng didn’t have time to carry Yuexi away and instead took a gamble. Using the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and his powerful physique, he braced himself against the venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.
The venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede fell like a pool splashing down. Even the radiant light from the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda couldn’t fully block the lethal venom, and some still splashed onto Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng grunted in pain, a searing agony piercing to his marrow.
Lu Changsheng’s flesh was rapidly corroding.
He immediately consumed various Elixir Pills, relying on the strong vitality formed by his practice of the Eternal Indestructible Art to quickly heal the corroded parts.
Yuexi closed her eyes, yet she realized she was unscathed.
She was being held in someone’s arms, taken away from the site and distanced from the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.
“You…”
Yuexi saw that half of Lu Changsheng’s body had been corroded by the venom, only the other half remained intact, which unsettled her mind.
Lu Changsheng had protected her, almost perishing in the process.
The lethal poison of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede was capable of killing even a Divine King upon contact.
If Lu Changsheng had not cultivated the Eternal Indestructible Art, he would have truly died under the venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.
“I have Detoxification Pills…”
Yuexi frantically took out various Detoxification Pills, but she wasn’t sure which one could neutralize the virulent poison of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.
“Calm down. Use your True Qi to aid my detoxification.”
Since his time in the Dao Palace Realm, Lu Changsheng, having faced life-and-death situations far more than Yuexi, who grew up under protection of the Mysterious Lady Palace, remained unflustered in such a crisis.
The venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede couldn’t kill him. With Yuexi’s aid in expelling the True Qi inside him, he could quickly rid his body of the deadly toxin, and with the help of the Heaven Void Divine Pill, he would immediately restore his True Qi.
“Yes.”
Yuexi also realized she was not as calm, thus forcing herself to settle down. She quickly directed some of her True Qi from her back into Lu Changsheng’s body, assisting with the detoxification.
At the same time, several Great Accomplished Immortal Emperor Realm disciples from the Mysterious Lady Palace stood in front of Yuexi and Lu Changsheng to prevent any opportunistic attacks from the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.
“Little Human brats, has the lesson been bitter enough? Today, I shall devour you all.”
The three chunks of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede’s meaty mountains began moving, astonishingly reassembling together.
The aura of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede had not weakened much compared to before.
“`
“Was it playing dead just now, and then suddenly attacked our senior sister?”
“These demon creatures, they really are cunning and also skilled in trickery.”
“`
“`
Most of the disciples from Mysterious Lady Palace grew up in Heavenly Court, never having been part of such brutal life-and-death battles. Now, hunting Ancient Demon Worms in Valley of Doom, they witnessed these creatures’ cunning and strength.
“`
“`
The many disciples of Mysterious Lady Palace operated the Liuren Great Formation, trying their best to fend off the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede and buy time for Lu Changsheng to heal.
“`
“`
Yuexi also seemed a bit anxious, sweat beads trailing down her stunning face, flowing over her delicate collarbones.
“`
“`
If Lu Changsheng couldn’t expel all the intense poison and thus perished, the rescued Yuexi would feel eternal guilt.
“`
“`
As time ticked by, Lu Changsheng was expelling the toxin of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede from his body and collecting it in a jade bottle.
“`
“`
The venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede was immensely poisonous, but at the same time, it was also a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
“`
“`
“We did it, we succeeded!”
“`
“`
Yuexi, using her True Qi, helped Lu Changsheng expel the last drop of the venom, filled with surprise and joy.
“`
“`
Now, Lu Changsheng could swiftly recover without harm.
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng consumed a Heaven Void Divine Pill, instantly regaining his vigor, color returning to his pale cheeks.
“`
“`
“Thank goodness.”
“`
“`
Yuexi sat on the ground as if drained, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes with her delicate fingers.
“`
“`
She was almost to the point of crying anxiously.
“`
“`
“…”
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected to see such a fragile side of the top talent of Mysterious Lady Palace. It seemed her mentor, Qiongxiao Sword Maiden, had her reasons for bringing her to participate in the hunt in Valley of Doom.
“`
“`
The geniuses of Heavenly Court generally possess higher aptitudes, but compared to the talents from the Lower Realm, the ones from Heavenly Court lead extremely comfortable lives. Their usual spars lack life-and-death stakes and whether it is adaptability or willpower, they may not necessarily surpass the talents from the Lower Realm.
“`
“`
The talents from the Lower Realm face the possibility of being killed by Demon Chiefs during their excursions for training.
“`
“`
Someone like Lu Changsheng, who has survived countless life-and-death situations, wouldn’t be shaken by injuries of this nature.
“`
“`
“You’re not scared, are you?”
“`
“`
“What are you talking about? I wasn’t crying because I was scared.”
“`
“`
“That’s good then. Let’s join forces and kill this Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede, we must annihilate it completely this time.”
“`
“`
Seeing that the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had turned dull from blocking the venom of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede and temporarily lost its power, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but rage.
“`
“`
The Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede had almost destroyed one of his most valued Magical Treasures.
“`
“`
“We probably can’t kill the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede completely, even if we work together.”
“`
“`
After calming down, Yuexi realized that the Demonic Qi of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede hadn’t decreased substantially. Their combined Sword Qi, which severed the impregnable body of the centipede, had still not inflicted a critical blow to the creature with its incredible vitality.
“`
“`
“It looks like I have to use this pill.”
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng took out an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill.
“`
“`
This twenty-first rank Divine Pill was priceless.
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng normally could not bear to use it.
“`
“`
But now, there was no other choice.
“`
“`
“Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill?!”
“`
“`
Yuexi was astonished to see Lu Changsheng bring out a twenty-first rank Divine Pill.
“`
“`
Such a Divine Pill, only powerhouse characters like the Twelve Sword Maidens had access to.
“`
“`
Even as a disciple of the Third Sword Maiden, Yuexi did not possess a Divine Pill of this rank.
“`
“`
The man before her, not only defeated a host of geniuses from the Immortal Realm but also surpassed the Heavenly Court’s talents in his deep foundation.
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng consumed the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, which dissolved in his Dantian, and an immensely tremendous power spread to his Zodiac Meridians. His joints even made crackling sounds.
“`
“`
Lu Changsheng’s Realm rapidly advanced, breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“`
“`
Divine King of the ninth rank, eighth rank, seventh rank, sixth rank, fifth rank, fourth rank!
“`
“`
He achieved the breakthrough of six realms on the spot!
“`
“`
“The Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill is really impressive…”
“`
“`
Yuexi and the other disciples of the Mysterious Lady Palace were witnessing the use of a twenty-first rank Divine Pill for the first time.
“`
“`
The Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill elevated Lu Changsheng from the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor to the fourth rank Divine King; it was incredibly against the heavens.
“`
“`
The overbearing Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede now showed a hint of fear in its eyes, “You puny human, how could you possess such a level of Immortal Pill, this is unfair!”
“`
