Poisonous Formation

"Sacred Lord Ye."

Wu Qiandu, the Ascension Realm old woman of the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land, spoke with a hoarse voice.

She had entered the Dao through poison for nearly ten thousand years, and her voodoo poison techniques dominated the Four Great Divine Continents. Even Ascension Realm mighty figures of the same level were unwilling to easily make an enemy of her.

"I didn't expect the Sacred Lord to also come to this hall. What a coincidence. I just wonder why the Sacred Lord came alone, where are your companions?"

Her words seemed to show care, but they were actually probing.

If Ye Chuan was alone, she would be more confident in her calculations.

In her view, Ye Chuan being able to kill Wu Cang was mostly due to joining forces with Master Taichu, plus taking advantage of a sneak attack with that bizarre domain.

In terms of hard strength, a peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator was ultimately a major realm behind the Ascension Realm, unable to turn the sky upside down.

"Companions?" Ye Chuan raised his eyebrows and casually glanced at the group of Myriad Poisons Sacred Land disciples behind her who were acting as if facing a formidable enemy.

He was somewhat curious about how the people of the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land had gathered together, since he and Qian Shuang had been separated.

However, looking closely, there were also far fewer people from the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land.

Obviously, they had been separated when they entered.

"What, Ancestor Wu has more people, so you want to exchange blows with me at the entrance of this hall?"

As soon as these words came out, the two peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm Supreme Elders behind Wu Qiandu instantly tensed up, and the atmosphere instantly became volatile.

Wu Qiandu, however, hurriedly waved her hand.

The wrinkles on her face squeezed together, making her look even more sinister:

"The Sacred Lord must be joking. How could my Myriad Poisons Sacred Land make an enemy of the Sacred Lord? It's just that the restrictions of this hall are too bizarre. Our group has spent half an hour here and exhausted all our methods, but still couldn't break the restrictions on the hall door, so we lost our composure a bit."

She paused, changed the subject, and threw out a bait: "If the Sacred Lord has a way to break this restriction, then when we kill the guarding creature inside, my Myriad Poisons Sacred Land is willing to split the treasures and cultivation methods in the hall fifty-fifty with the Sacred Lord! Even the core inheritance of Almighty Xuanqiong can be studied together with the Sacred Lord!"

Her words were beautiful, but Wu Qiandu was already calculating in her heart.

Fifty-fifty split? It was just nonsense to coax this junior.

This hall was obviously the core dojo of Almighty Xuanqiong. It must contain supreme treasures that could allow an Ascension Realm cultivator to take a step further, and perhaps even a complete method to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Once they entered the hall, figured out this junior's background, and joined forces with her disciples, let alone the treasures, even the bizarre secret technique on him that could kill Wu Cang would all be hers!

A junior in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, even with some fortuitous encounters, how big of a wave could he make?

How could Ye Chuan not see through this old woman's thoughts? But he still kept a smiling face, as if completely unaware of her calculations.

"Oh? Split evenly if I break the restriction?"

"Sure, then I'll give it a try."

Ye Chuan lifted his foot and walked toward the main door of the hall.

Everyone from the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land stared fixedly at Ye Chuan's movements.

They had wasted a full half hour here without leaving the slightest mark on this restriction, and instead, several disciples had been injured by the restriction's backlash.

They wanted to see what kind of ability this rumored miraculous Sacred Lord Ye actually had.

They saw Ye Chuan walk to the main door without even stopping. He simply extended his right hand casually and pressed it gently against the door covered in ancient restrictions.

There were no earth-shattering spiritual energy fluctuations, no flashy magical techniques or divine abilities. There was only a faint wisp of black chaotic mist that seeped from his fingertips and spread along the runic patterns on the door.

Crack.

A soft sound was exceptionally clear in the silent white jade plaza.

That restriction, which even an Ascension Realm mighty figure couldn't break, was like paper, instantly covered in dense cracks.

Immediately after, the entire black stone door, along with the ten-thousand-year-old restriction on it, turned into sky-filling stone powder and was blown away clean by the wind.

It took less than a breath of time from start to finish.

He didn't even touch the hall door, and the restriction was completely shattered.

Everyone from the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land instantly froze in place, dumbfounded, their expressions changing from expectation to horror.

The two peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm Supreme Elders were full of disbelief.

The restriction they couldn't shake in the slightest even with all their might was gone just by this junior's casual press?!

The smile on Wu Qiandu's face also instantly froze, her pupils shrank sharply, and her heart sank heavily.

She originally thought Ye Chuan only killed Wu Cang by relying on unorthodox methods and the help of Master Taichu, but this move before her eyes, seemingly understated, contained a terrifying power that she couldn't understand at all.

That power that could easily crush the restriction made her, an Ascension Realm mighty figure, feel a chill originating from the depths of her soul.

But immediately, a deeper greed surged up from the bottom of her heart.

This kid absolutely hid heaven-defying supreme treasures and secret techniques! If she could seize them, let alone ascending to the Upper Realm, even in the Upper Realm, she could occupy a place!

Wu Qiandu suppressed the shock and greed in her heart, immediately put on a flattering smile, and quickly went up to meet him:

"The Sacred Lord is truly a heaven-sent genius! I have lived for nearly ten thousand years and have never seen someone as stunningly talented as the Sacred Lord! Casually breaking this ten-thousand-year restriction has really opened my eyes!"

Ye Chuan glanced at her, hooked the corners of his lips in a half-smile, didn't reply, and lifted his foot to step into the hall.

Wu Qiandu hurriedly gave the disciples behind her a look, and everyone immediately understood and followed closely, filing in one after another.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, an ancient Dao rhythm rich to the extreme rushed to their faces.

On the white jade shelves on both sides of the hall, a dazzling array of magical treasures and jade slips were neatly arranged.

There were ancient divine weapons gleaming with cold light, defensive supreme treasures flowing with vibrant colors, and jade slips recording various lost cultivation methods, pill recipes, and array formations.

Every item emitted extraordinary Dao principle fluctuations. Placed in the Profound Sky Continent, they were heavy treasures sufficient to trigger a storm of blood.

"Heavens! It's the ancient spiritual treasure, the Realm-Breaking Shuttle!"

"This jade slip! It's the long-lost Myriad Transformations Pill Scripture!"

"Elder! There's a Tribulation Transcendence Realm protective magical treasure here!"

The disciples of the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land instantly saw red, their breathing rapid, and their eyes full of greed as they looked at the treasures on the shelves.

If Wu Qiandu hadn't not given the word, they would have already pounced on them and scrambled madly.

But right at this moment, a sudden mutation occurred.

A disciple at the very front had just run two steps forward when his face suddenly turned pale. He bent over, clutching his stomach, and let out a painful muffled groan:

"Ugh... dizzy... I want to vomit... I think I've been poisoned... my stomach hurts... it hurts so much..."

Immediately after, the second and third disciples also began to show abnormalities.

"My spiritual energy... why can't it circulate?!"

"My whole body is so itchy! No! It hurts inside my bones!"

"Me too! My stomach feels like it's being twisted by a knife! What is going on?!"

In just over ten breaths of time, more than a dozen disciples of the Myriad Poisons Sacred Land all showed various abnormalities.

Negative effects swept through their whole bodies like a tide, exactly as if they had been given the most intense bone-corroding poison. One by one, they rolled on the ground in pain, cold sweat soaking their clothes.

Even the two Supreme Elders at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence realm turned pale and furrowed their brows. Clutching their stomachs, the circulation of spiritual energy around their bodies became sluggish; clearly, they had not been spared either.

"What is going on?!" Wu Qiandu's expression changed drastically as she instantly summoned her vital poison banner.

A dark green poisonous miasma instantly enveloped the entire hall. Her triangular eyes swept fiercely across her surroundings as she shouted sternly,

"It's poison! Be careful! There's an ancient poison array in this hall!"

Having lived for nearly ten thousand years and entered the Dao through poison, her perception of various toxins far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Yet, no matter how hard she probed, she could not find the slightest trace of toxins in the air. However, a familiar agonizing cramp gradually arose in her own abdomen, and the circulation of Dao principles throughout her body slowed by half a beat.

"Impossible!" Wu Qiandu's face turned livid. She immediately took out the Myriad Poison Holy Land's supreme treasure, the Myriad Poison Antidote Pill, and distributed them to her disciples, swallowing one herself at the same time.

"Quick! Take the antidote!"

But once the pill entered their stomachs, not only did it fail to alleviate the pain in the slightest, the cramping actually grew more intense. Several disciples with lower cultivation levels simply fainted from the sheer agony.

The Myriad Poison Antidote Pill could neutralize ninety-nine percent of the exotic poisons on the Profound Sky Continent, but here, it was completely useless!

"No! It's not poison! It's an illusion array! It's an ancient array formation!" Wu Qiandu instantly realized and shouted harshly,

"Everyone, guard your minds! Don't let the illusion affect you! Quickly, find the array core! Break this formation!"

The disciples instantly panicked, enduring the pain as they scattered to search every corner of the hall, trying to find the so-called array core.

Meanwhile, Ye Chuan, standing in the center of the hall, watched this chaotic scene with a flash of amusement in his eyes. However, he feigned a solemn expression, clutching his stomach and furrowing his brows as well.

He spoke to Wu Qiandu: "Ancestor Wu, why do I also feel cramps in my stomach, and my spiritual energy is becoming sluggish? Is this array really that wicked? Even I fell for it?"

"Give me one of your antidote pills too."

"Sacred Lord Ye, we have already tried it; the antidote pill is useless," Wu Qiandu replied, deliberately showing an awkward expression.

With Ye Chuan's words, the slight suspicion Wu Qiandu originally had toward him instantly vanished into thin air.

If even Ye Chuan had fallen victim to it, then there must be a problem with the hall's array formation; it absolutely could not be man-made.

How could she have imagined that this agonizing anomaly making them wish for death was not some poison or illusion array at all, but a cognitive contamination quietly spread by Ye Chuan.

A method that was effective even against Wu Cang was naturally effortless when used against these people.

Wu Qiandu gritted her teeth, forcefully enduring the severe cramps in her abdomen, and said in a deep voice to Ye Chuan:

"Be careful, Sacred Lord! This array of Almighty Xuanqiong is too bizarre. It won't be too late to take the treasures after we find the array core and break the formation!"
