Chapter 431 - 249: Myriad Poison True Qi Breaks Ten Thousand Insects! (Part 2)
Chi Wuli pondered for a moment and then said, "Let all the Gu Masters in the Sanctuary, leave only twenty percent to guard the Sanctuary, and let the rest go out, release the Gu insects, and search for the intruders!"
After Chi Wuli spoke, the other Gu Masters responded with a sound and went to carry out the orders.
Chi Wuli then tapped his foot, his figure swept along the corridor and into a room in the loft where the Gu insects were raised.
This insect room was extremely spacious, very dark, and one could faintly see many thumb-sized, winged, furry Gu insects gnawing on something inside.
Upon closer inspection, these Gu insects were gnawing on human corpses and some exotic flowers and herbs carrying severe toxins.
These were the battle-used Gu insects raised by Chi Wuli.
Usually, to feed these Gu insects, one needed to provide them with human corpses and toxic plants and substances.
Because humans are omnivorous, they accumulate many toxins in their bodies, which serve as nourishment for the Gu insects.
Chi Wuli activated his Divine Intent, which erupted from his brow like a wave and swept over these Gu insects.
Generally speaking, Gu Masters below the Divine Realm need to use flutes, pipes, whistles, or other items to control the Gu insects.
However, upon reaching the Divine Realm, a Gu Master can control the Gu insects with just a thought.
Not only does the control over the Gu insects greatly increase, but the ability to simultaneously manipulate more Gu insects also grows.
Chi Wuli, with just one thought, caused those Gu insects still gnawing on corpses and poisonous substances to flutter their wings and rise up.
The sound of Gu insects chirping and wings flapping resounded densely, and if someone were present, they would feel chills running down their spine.
Chi Wuli turned and left the insect room.
Under his Divine Intent control, these Gu insects followed him like a mass of dark clouds.
Taking the Gu insects with him, Chi Wuli proceeded to the Divine Hall in the loft.
The Divine Hall also housed a statue of the War God, identical to the giant statue in the altar.
It depicted the War God with bull horns on its head and a robust body.
However, the statue in the Divine Hall was much smaller than the one in the altar.
It represented Chiyou, the ancestral god worshipped by generations in Miaojiang.
Miaojiang has a legend that tens of thousands of years ago, they were the rightful owners of this land.
However, because their descendants grew weaker, they were invaded and gradually retreated to the current Miaojiang in the corner.
The Chiyou statue in the Divine Hall also held a War Axe.
Unlike the stone-carved statue in the altar, this War Axe was not carved from stone but was an actual Iron Axe.
Chi Wuli performed a reverent obeisance before the Chiyou statue, then stepped forward, with the muscle on his right arm bulging fiercely, and took down the Iron Axe with force.
This was Miaojiang’s "Chiyou Battle Axe," the axe handle thicker than a baby’s arm, the axe head as large as two human heads, its edges sharp, shimmering with a cold gleam.
Chi Wuli wielded the giant axe in his right hand, followed by a massive insect cloud, and stepped out of the wooden building.
...
Bam!
Su Que smashed a Gu Master’s skull with a punch.
Then he flicked his right fist, flinging the Gu Master’s brain and blood onto the ground along with the Gang Qi on his fist.
He had been absorbing toxins in the Poison Field when this Early Stage Meridian Opening Realm Gu Master approached him, attempting to engage him in close combat, only to have his skull shattered by a punch.
After fracturing this Gu Master’s skull, Su Que continued absorbing the toxins from the Poison Field.
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (10th Realm Shocking the Ancients 9%), Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (10th Realm Shocking the Ancients 10%)...
As the toxins transformed into wisps of smoke, entering his body through his seven orifices and pores, the cultivation progress of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons continued to rise.
Before long, he had absorbed all the toxins from this Poison Field.
Whether plants or animals, they wilted.
’Finally, the people of Miaojiang Holy Altar have noticed the anomaly...’
Su Que thought as he searched through the belongings of the Gu Master.
Finding nothing valuable on the Gu Master, Su Que first curled his fingers into a claw and instantly absorbed the Death Qi from the Gu Master’s body.
Then, he casually released a wisp of Myriad Poison True Qi, instantly corroding the corpse completely.
He tapped his foot, performed Lightweight Skill, and searched for another Poison Field.
In no time, his Spiritual Power located another Poison Field.
As he was gradually moving towards the depths of Miaojiang Holy Altar, the Poison Fields or Poisonous Forests he encountered grew larger.
This Poison Field was the largest he’d seen since coming to Miaojiang.
Su Que flew to that Poison Field, defeated the guards, and sat cross-legged in the center, activating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons to begin absorbing toxins.
After a while, he felt a change, as his spreading Spiritual Power detected many Miaojiang Gu Masters arriving.
"The intruder into our Miaojiang is right there!"
A dozen Gu Masters, controlling Gu insects, the Gu insects forming a massive insect cloud, arrived at the Poison Field.
This Poison Field was one of the three major Poison Fields in Miaojiang.
These Gu Masters, knowing the Sanctuary intruder aimed to absorb toxins from the Poison Fields and Poisonous Forests, naturally sought these three major Poison Fields first.
Upon arriving at this Poison Field, they saw Su Que.
Seeing him, they wasted no time, directly playing the flutes and pipes, maneuvering the giant insect cloud to cover Su Que like a cloudy top.
Su Que paid them no heed, continuing to operate the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
The enormous insect cloud flew to the Poison Field’s sky.
Suddenly, the insect cloud’s flight slowed, strands of various colored poisonous mist emerged from the cloud, gathering towards Su Que.
The insect cloud comprised of myriad toxic Gu insects.
Su Que’s Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons could utilize all poisons.
The toxins from these Gu insects naturally would not be left behind.
Soon, those Gu insects, having much of their toxin absorbed, wilted and fell.
A massive insect cloud, as if suddenly drained of power, collapsed like sand.
"What evil technique has this person cultivated!"
The Gu Masters were shocked at this sight.
But they believed their numbers, and their Martial Arts cultivation wasn’t weak, despite losing the Gu insects, they unleashed Miaojiang Martial Arts and charged at Su Que.
Momentarily, Gang Qi and Vigorous Qi exploded around these Miaojiang Gu Masters.
Su Que remained cross-legged in the Poison Field, not moving.
But he activated his mind, releasing deep purple Myriad Poison True Qi like a wave, overwhelming the Gu Masters.
Instantly, the Gu Masters were submerged in the Myriad Poison True Qi.
Their skin, upon touching the Myriad Poison True Qi, immediately formed pustules.
Soon pus flowed, and their skin corroded swiftly.
Due to the skin corrosion, the Gu Masters felt painful and itchy, initially screaming but soon ceased as they inhaled the Myriad Poison True Qi, resulting in death.
After killing all the Gu Masters, Su Que continued absorbing the Poison Field toxins.
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (10th Realm Shocking the Ancients 33%)
Su Que noticed a significant improvement in the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons after absorbing the toxins from those Gu insects.
It seemed these Gu Masters fed the Gu insects substantial poisonous substances.
Shortly after these Gu Masters arrived, Su Que felt a stronger presence approaching.
’It seems like someone at the Peak of Divine Realm!’
Su Que sensed the strong Divine Will Power from the approaching person.
Then, the buzzing intensified, but a cloud even larger than the previous insect cloud pressed down on him.
Furthermore, rustling sounded, the nearby grass and trees swayed, and the soil squirmed.
Close by, it was the High Priest of Miaojiang Holy Altar, Chi Wuli, utilizing Divine Will Power to perform Gu Skill.
Not only controlling his Gu insects but also summoning all poisonous insects within a hundred-mile radius.
Finally, whether flying poisonous insects or crawling poisonous snakes, they gathered and formed a two- or three-story-high insect tide, pushing towards Su Que’s Poison Field.
Su Que continued operating the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons.
As the insect tide entered a certain range, strands of various colored toxic gas floated up.
Gathering towards Su Que’s eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and pores.
Even the massive insect cloud formed by Chi Wuli’s raised Gu insects emitted strands of toxic gas gathering towards Su Que.
