Chapter 90: Successfully Subdued and Obtained the Ten Thousand Poison Pill!
After listening to Zhao Qingmeng’s inner thoughts for so long, Lin Qi’an finally understood what had been troubling her.
In the future, she would face an incredibly powerful enemy! As a female emperor, she couldn’t run away but had to fight to protect her people.
Because the enemy was too strong, she had no choice but to use the “Golden-Winged Profound Sky Cicada” to call for my help.
‘Perhaps I had promised her that I would come no matter where I was if I received her message. But that time, I didn’t go to save her. The result was Zhao Qingmeng’s death.’
The fact that an enemy could push an emperor to her death showed just how powerful her future adversary would be…
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Destiny’s Child “Zhao Qingmeng” has been successfully subdued.】
As her hatred dropped to zero, a notification popped up.
【Villain Points +30,000, Luck Points +50】
“System, what exactly are these Luck Points used for?”
“Increasing Luck Points can allow the host to avert dangers in certain situations, more easily obtain opportunities and fortuitous encounters, and receive the favor of the Heavenly Dao.”
“When opening a Luck Chest, the cumulative Luck Points will add to the host’s current Luck Points, making the rewards even more valuable.”
“When killing a Child of Destiny, the Luck Points of both parties are reduced, making it easier to obtain the core of their luck.”
Besides the elusive favor of the Heavenly Dao, there were two practical effects.
‘First: Suppose I reduce a Child of Destiny’s Luck by 1,000, and I have 200 Luck Points left; then the Luck Chest will yield rewards worth 1,200 Luck Points.’
‘Second: Originally, to seize the Luck Core of a Child of Destiny, I needed to reduce their Luck Points to below 100. Suppose the opponent has 300 Luck Points left, and I have 200. If I kill them then, I can still obtain the Luck Core because 300 – 200 = 100, just meeting the requirement!’
‘In simple terms, it allows for more flexibility. In the future, if I encounter a Child of Destiny, I can choose to nurture them longer to increase the rewards, or if I really can’t stand them, I can kill them directly!’
【Ding! You have obtained a Luck Chest. Would you like to open it now?】
The reward for subduing Zhao Qingmeng had arrived. Their combined Luck Points amounted to a whopping 1,400!
“Open it.”
【Congratulations, you have obtained a Super Grade Pill: Ten Thousand Poison Pill】
Pills are ranked from one to nine, with anything above the ninth rank being Super Grade.
After reading the effects, Lin Qi’an was astonished.
【Effect: After consumption, it can neutralize any poison and grant the “Immune to Ten Thousand Poisons.”】
If Immune to Ten Thousand Poisons is cultivated to its peak, it could indeed become immune to all poisons in the world. Even without reaching the peak, it would still provide significant resistance to poisons.
Moreover, cultivation is not difficult; it just requires a lot of Villain Points! Eventually, it can be fully cultivated.
After reviewing the reward, Lin Qi’an felt quite grateful to Zhao Qingmeng. Not only did she help him enter the Thunder Emperor’s Abode, but she also brought him such a valuable reward. Of course, what mattered more was that this girl dared to love and hate intensely.
When she hated, she wanted to kill in revenge. When she loved, she wished to give everything to the other person.
It was obvious that she no longer harbored any hatred towards him—only love. Since she had been successfully subdued, if the opportunity arose, he could consider fulfilling her desire to start cultivating together next time.
The only unfortunate part was that now that she was subdued, he couldn’t hear those amusing inner thoughts anymore. But that’s alright—women who are hard to read are more charming.
“Why are you staring at me and smiling?” Zhao Qingmeng rolled her eyes.
“Oh, nothing. I just think you’re particularly cute right now.”
“You’re all talk. Even when something is handed to you, you don’t dare take it!”
“Next time, for sure. By the way, did the scrolls mention anything about the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance?” Lin Qi’an quickly asked, returning to the main topic.
“Yes, it said that if you inject your divine sense into the scroll, you can enter the trial’s spiritual realm.”
“The spiritual realm is an endless sea of thunder, and it’s meant to test whether you are qualified to receive the inheritance.”
“If you can’t withstand the thunder’s attacks, you’ll have to withdraw your divine sense, and you’ll never be able to enter again,” Zhao Qingmeng explained.
There was only one chance.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
Since he was already here, he had to try and he immediately injected his divine sense. His consciousness entered the scroll, and the surroundings instantly became chaotic.
When the scene cleared, he found himself in an endless sea of thunder.
Boom!
The sky was constantly filled with the deafening sound of thunderclaps. The entire world was bathed in bright purple light.
“Congratulations, you are the first to enter this Emperor’s trial spiritual realm!” The voice came from the heavens.
It should be a remnant of the Thunder Emperor’s spiritual consciousness, only capable of conversation.
“Next, countless bolts of thunder will descend. You can use all your abilities to resist. If you can last for thirty breaths, you will pass.”
“If you can’t endure, you can withdraw on your own. Let the trial begin!”
He faced the challenge resolutely.
Boom, boom, boom!
Violent bolts of thunder rained down from above.
At first glance, these were just ordinary bolts of thunder. The trial’s difficulty was low at the beginning. Lin Qi’an pointed with a finger, using his overwhelming sword intent to directly counter the thunder!
The clash caused both to dissipate into nothingness. Although he couldn’t use a Sacred Rank weapon, his strength alone was more than sufficient.
As the trial progressed, the thunder became increasingly violent, with bolts of thunder exploding near his ears one after another, but for Lin Qi’an, there was no pressure. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Ten breaths, twenty breaths, thirty breaths.
The time had passed, yet the bombardment of thunder continued!
He had already qualified for the inheritance, but qualifications vary in degree. Clearly, the Thunder Emperor wanted to test how talented his inheritor was.
After thirty breaths, the pressure suddenly intensified! Countless bolts of thunder transformed into wild beasts, attempting to tear Lin Qi’an’s divine sense to shreds!
“You want to destroy me? Not a chance.” Lin Qi’an condensed countless ethereal swords with his spiritual energy, nearly filling the sky.
“Ten Thousand Swords to Court!”
In an instant, the world was filled with nothing but the sound of clashing forces. The entire sky turned into a blinding white.
Finally, everything fell silent.
“Using a sword to break the thunder, how bold! Then take this final strike!” The Thunder Emperor’s voice echoed through the heavens, followed by a massive black thunderbolt, like a serpent tearing through the sky. The aura of annihilation it carried was terrifying.
“Roar!!!”
A heaven-shaking dragon’s roar erupted from Lin Qi’an’s throat.
A giant azure dragon, formed from his dragon might, clashed head-on with the terrifying black divine thunder. The two forces entangled and battled, ultimately disintegrating each other…
Lin Qi’an was drenched in sweat, having exhausted all his strength!
“Hahaha! I never expected my inheritor to be such a monster! A peerless genius, rare even in ten thousand years.” The Thunder Emperor’s hearty laughter resonated through the clouds.
“Very well, today I shall bestow upon you my legacy! As long as you follow my path, you will surely become a Great Emperor in the future!”
But Lin Qi’an shook his head. “I won’t follow anyone else’s path. My path to becoming an Emperor will be walked by me, just like you did.”
“Bold and ambitious!”
Every top-tier Great Emperor had forged their own path. While following someone else’s path might be easier, it would limit one’s potential. The Thunder Emperor understood this well.
A bolt of purple lightning shot into Lin Qi’an’s forehead, containing the Thunder Emperor’s techniques, divine abilities, and insights into the Great Dao!
With that, Lin Qi’an officially received the Thunder Emperor’s legacy. Though he wouldn’t use it to become an Emperor, he could still learn its divine abilities and strengthen his combat power by drawing from the best of various techniques.
“Rest assured, Senior, the Thunder Emperor’s legacy will not be tarnished!”
“Young one, since you’ve received my legacy, could you do two things for me?”
“The first is to deliver a message to the Tianhai Dao Domain?”
“Yes… though I wonder if she is still alive?”
“Don’t worry, I will go. Even if she is no longer there, I will bring the letter to her grave!” Lin Qi’an cupped his hands respectfully.
Because of the Thunder Emperor’s story, he and Zhao Qingmeng had reconciled, and now, having received this legacy, it was only right to fulfill a small request.
“What is the second task?”
“Not far from my abode, underground, there is a dark cave that holds an immortal, indestructible evil beast! My thunder techniques can destroy everything, yet I couldn’t annihilate it.” There was a hint of apprehension in his tone.
Lin Qi’an suddenly recalled that the Thunder Emperor had once suffered an incurable Dao injury—could it have been caused by this beast?
Demons were always terrifying entities that all cultivators feared.
Spirit beasts and fierce beasts might still possess some humanity, but demons were different! They were beings of extreme evil, devoid of any humanity, and everyone feared them.
And here, nearby, there was a sealed demon…
A demon that had brought down the mighty Thunder Emperor, who once shook the Nine Provinces!
