Chapter 430 - 249: Myriad Poison True Qi Shatters Myriad Insects!
After the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons reached the 10th Realm Shocking the Ancients, Su Que immediately comprehended a new technique—the Myriad Poison Sword Aura!
He released the Myriad Poison True Qi, and with a thought in his heart,
In an instant, the Myriad Poison True Qi around him condensed into deep purple sword Qi.
Dense and overwhelming, emitting an enormous sense of oppression.
With a flick of his finger, these deep purple sword Qi shot forward swiftly!
Piercing through the giant trees ahead, cutting off the exotic flowers and grasses in front.
The cuts and breaks on the plants were corroded by the Myriad Poison True Qi, turning black and emitting wisps of white smoke.
After trying the technique, Su Que left this Poisonous Forest and headed to another one.
...
In a poison field where Su Que absorbed the poison, a Gu Master dressed in Miaojiang attire, pushing a wheelbarrow, saw the wilting poisonous grasses and flowers in the poison field, along with two unconscious guards nearby.
His eyes immediately widened, and he put down the wheelbarrow.
Pushing off with his foot, his figure flickered and stopped beside an unconscious guard.
"Clap clap!"
He patted the guard’s shoulder several times.
Seeing no response, he injected True Qi into the guard’s meridians.
Moments later, the guard slowly woke up, looking at the Gu Master with confused eyes.
Gradually, his eyes began to focus.
"What happened?" the Gu Master asked.
The guard first looked around, saw the other unconscious guard and the wilting exotic flowers and grasses in the poison field, and was instantly shocked.
"I... I don’t know why. I don’t even know why I’m lying here!"
The guard said in panic, knowing that with the damage to the poison field under his watch, he would definitely be punished.
The Gu Master squinted slightly in contemplation and, leaving the wheelbarrow behind, darted straight toward the highest mountain.
...
The mountain village where the Miaojiang Holy Altar is located is surrounded by three mountains, with the one in the middle being the highest.
On the highest mountain, a large platform is built, facing the clouds and sky from afar.
On the platform, there is a grand altar made of rough stone blocks.
In the center of the altar is a majestic statue.
The statue appears to depict a War God.
This War God is shirtless, revealing a muscular physique.
Holding a giant axe to the sky, with a fierce and menacing face, horns growing from his head.
Beside the altar is a five-story wooden building with intricate architecture.
In the wooden building resides the High Priest of the Miaojiang Holy Altar, Chi Wuli.
Chi Wuli is an over one hundred and twenty-year-old elder.
Yet his skin remains firm, and his beard and hair are still jet black.
Just from his appearance, one cannot perceive any signs of old age.
He is clad in a brown hemp robe, which, despite its looseness, cannot conceal his robust physique and bulging muscles.
At the moment, he is standing with his hands behind his back, in front of a blood pool on the first floor, examining thirty-six corpses soaking in the pool.
The skin of these corpses is pale with a hint of blue.
The blood vessels beneath the skin turned a deep red, protruding prominently.
Making it appear as if there are red patterns all over the corpses, giving them an eerie look.
These thirty-six corpses were secretly harvested from the Central Plains by Chi Wuli over nearly a hundred years, having poisoned Divine Realm experts, and then brought back to Miaojiang.
Intending to use the Corpse Refinement technique to refine these corpses into "War Corpses", and then attach unparalleled Corpse Gu to these corpses, allowing them to regain their strength from life.
Possibly, even stronger than in life.
Now, the thirty-six Divine Realm Martial Artist corpses are about to be refined into "War Corpses".
Thirty-six unparalleled Corpse Gu have long been refined, just that they are still in the growth stage.
Chi Wuli estimates that by feeding them poisonous substances for another forty-nine days, these unparalleled Corpse Gu will fully mature.
Once the Corpse Gu matures and the War Corpse is refined, he intends to invade the Liang Kingdom along with these thirty-six War Corpses and the Gu Masters of the Miaojiang Holy Altar.
Despite residing in Miaojiang, he often dispatches Miaojiang Gu Masters deep into the Central Plains to gather intelligence, thus knowing much about the Central Plains.
Currently, with turmoil in the Liang Kingdom and Emperor Jing of Liang, who has been in seclusion for years, showing no signs of movement.
Chi Wuli believes it’s likely that Emperor Jing of Liang met his demise while attempting a breakthrough in his training.
Tap tap tap!
Suddenly, a Gu Master hurried towards him: "High Priest, our poison field has been damaged!"
"Where’s the poison field?" Chi Wuli frowned, inquiring.
This Gu Master had just mentioned the location of the poison field when another Gu Master came to report.
Subsequently, several Gu Masters tasked by Chi Wuli to collect poisonous substances to feed the unparalleled Corpse Gu returned to report this matter to him.
Chi Wuli’s heart stirred, his eyes flashed with essence: "Who has invaded Miaojiang?"
Suddenly, he recalled something and asked: "Didn’t you say earlier that the people from the Cave of Myriad Poisons and Nineteen Villages invaded the Southern Domain first, but were repelled by a Heaven-Breaking Army? "
"The Cave Master of the Cave of Myriad Poisons and the Village Chief of the Nineteen Villages both died as a result, significantly reducing our combat strength in Miaojiang."
"Moreover, at that time, aside from the Holy Altar, many poison fields and poisonous forests in Miaojiang were drained of poison."
"Could it be that those who invaded the Holy Altar this time are from the Heaven-Breaking Army?"
Upon hearing this, the Gu Masters looked at each other. After a while, one of them spoke to Chi Wuli:
"High Priest, we...are unaware. Everyone involved with the Cave of Myriad Poisons and Nineteen Villages is dead."
"No one saw the Heaven-Breaking Army take action, and the information we received is too scarce."
