Heaven Withers and the Dao Turns Toxic

Hua Caiyu was startled by Gu Qingfeng's sudden shout, acting like a frightened little deer while continuously patting his chest.

"Emperor Gu, you scared me." His expression was half-reproachful, carrying a hint of grievance.

"Fuck off!"

Gu Qingfeng couldn't hold back anymore and directly threw a punch.

Terrifying power surged out. The strike was like a vast realm pressing down.

A strange look flashed across Hua Caiyu's eyes, but he remained unhurried, allowing the terrifying fist print to hit his body.

Bang!

Hua Caiyu's body was blown apart.

However, the expected splatter of flesh and blood did not occur. His body exploded and turned into a sky full of raining petals, colorful and magnificent.

The next moment, the sky full of petals gathered together, forming Hua Caiyu's body once again.

But Gu Qingfeng did not attack again because he felt a bit disgusted.

He hurriedly pulled over Yan Lingxue, a beauty with snow-white skin. Amidst her exclamations, he buried his head in her chest, took two deep sniffs, and nuzzled a couple of times before finally feeling some relief.

Yan Lingxue trembled with anger, her snow-white little face turning bright red.

But she didn't dare to lash out, afraid that Gu Qingfeng would do something even more excessive.

"Why did you suddenly attack me?" Hua Caiyu said in dissatisfaction.

"Shut up! Where is the curse? Stop dawdling."

Hua Caiyu pouted, seeming a bit wronged, and then coyly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing robust chest muscles complete with chest hair.

It was just that his body looked a bit strange, actually displaying a bizarre yellowish-brown hue, like the color of withered petals.

"This is my curse. Every moment, I suffer from the erosion of the power of withering. I wonder if Emperor Gu has a solution?"

"A mere curse is naturally a piece of cake for this Emperor. Stand still and don't move."

Gu Qingfeng didn't want to stay here for another second. He directly activated the Ghost God's Touch, preparing to devour Hua Caiyu's power.

As for the curse?

Once the person is gone, wouldn't the curse naturally be lifted?

He had no intention of having any physical contact with Hua Caiyu.

The surrounding void instantly distorted, and countless thick, ferocious tentacles reached out from it, surrounding Hua Caiyu.

Swoosh!

Hua Caiyu dodged the incoming tentacles in a flash.

Gu Qingfeng showed a look of displeasure: "What is the meaning of this?"

"Emperor Gu, one cannot be without a heart to guard against others. Besides, you didn't even ask for a reward before taking action. It makes me feel uneasy," Hua Caiyu said faintly.

"You're right. This Emperor was indeed too hasty. It's mainly because I don't want to look at a sissy like you for another second. Since you've seen through it, this Emperor won't pretend anymore. Die!"

Gu Qingfeng had nothing to hide. His purpose for this trip was to devour the experts who survived from the previous era to strengthen himself.

The void distorted even more violently. More and more Ghost God's tentacles reached out from it. For a time, this world was reduced to an ocean of tentacles.

Hua Caiyu continuously dodged, as if teleporting, avoiding the Ghost God's tentacles. But as time passed, the space left for him to dodge became less and less.

Finally, the dense tentacles completely surrounded him, binding his entire body.

But with a soft bang.

Hua Caiyu's body burst open again, turning into a sky full of petals.

A hint of mockery flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes. He pointed at the sky full of petals, and suddenly, a sword aura rose across the sky. The light and shadows of reincarnation intertwined, obscure and heavy.

What he used was exactly the profound meaning of reincarnation from the Ghost Mother.

Boom!

The sword aura shot towards the stars. This single sword aura suddenly exploded, turning into hundreds of millions of reincarnation sword auras, evolving into a reincarnation realm, and suppressing those petals.

Bang!

The petals were ruthlessly crushed, unexpectedly turning into a sky full of pollen that permeated the surroundings.

Suddenly, a wretched figure fell from within, vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground. It was none other than Hua Caiyu.

Looking at the wretched Hua Caiyu, Gu Qingfeng frowned: "Why are you so weak?"

He turned his head to look at Yan Lingxue, who was watching the show from the side, and asked: "Didn't you say that this Hua Caiyu's strength was extraordinary? How come he can't even take one move from this Emperor?"

Indeed, after Gu Qingfeng absorbed Yan Lingxue's power, he was already comparable to a Half-step Immortal Lord expert. But logically speaking, it was impossible to defeat Hua Caiyu, who was also a Half-step Immortal Lord, in one move.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's dissatisfaction, Yan Lingxue hurriedly explained: "If we're talking about pure combat strength, Hua Caiyu could be said to be at the bottom among those of the same level. But his cultivation in the Dao of Poison can be called the best in the world. His true strength lies entirely in poison."

"Hahaha, Gu Qingfeng, the outcome is decided." The wretched Hua Caiyu didn't have the posture of a loser at all; instead, he laughed continuously.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the invisible pollen permeating the air and suddenly understood.

"The pollen is poisonous?"

"That's right. Having been struck by the Heavenly Wither Dao Poison that I carefully concocted, even if your cultivation reaches the heavens, it won't help."

Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged, and he even felt incredibly bored. He originally thought that this Hua Caiyu could bring him a little surprise and add more power, but who knew he was actually the weakest existence, relying entirely on poison.

When it came to the Dao of Poison, even without relying on the system, his Great Dao Poison Body alone was enough to completely crush this person.

This trip was truly a waste of time. The Flower Fairy was gone, and the gains in strength were also unsatisfactory.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng was unmoved, Hua Caiyu smiled even more happily.

"Do you think you haven't been poisoned? Are you trying to say that you actually prepared defenses against that pollen early on? Indeed, the sky full of pollen was too conspicuous, and with your cultivation, it was very easy to guard against. However, in the end, I was still one step ahead. You couldn't have guessed it, right? The pollen just now was actually just a cover. The real poison was already planted by me long ago.

To tell you the truth, from the moment you saw me, you were already poisoned."

Hua Caiyu laughed very happily, his face full of a victorious smile.

Gu Qingfeng showed a mocking expression, his gaze as if looking at a jumping clown.

"How long are you going to keep talking to yourself?"

Hua Caiyu wasn't annoyed either and smiled: "What? You don't believe it? Then I'll let you properly experience the feeling of your whole body withering away!"

Saying that, he formed a hand seal and activated the Heavenly Wither Dao Poison.

And then...

Time passed minute by minute, second by second.

Gu Qingfeng had no reaction at all, and the mocking look on his face grew stronger and stronger.

Hua Caiyu's expression suddenly stiffened: "This is impossible!"

He activated it continuously, but Gu Qingfeng still had no reaction.

Suddenly, he fiercely glared at Yan Lingxue on the side: "You lied to me!"

When Yan Lingxue realized that Gu Qingfeng wasn't poisoned, she had already panicked and hurriedly retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I lie to you?"

"Alright, you don't need to put on an act anymore. Do you really think this Emperor doesn't know about your little tricks?" Gu Qingfeng said lightly.

Yan Lingxue's face stiffened: "Emperor Gu, what are you saying? Xue'er doesn't understand."

"Actually, you secretly colluded with Hua Caiyu long ago, wanting to poison this Emperor here, didn't you? That little white flower you intentionally crushed just now was the real Heavenly Wither Dao Poison."
