Chapter 586: 579 Chapter: Slaying

No matter the strength or speed, Wu Shanxing was just like this.

Previously in hasty response, the punch from Chen Hai, which only unveiled a fraction of his strength, was able to match Wu Shanxing evenly.

His real deal of difficulty lies not in his abilities, but in the severe poisons that he harbors.

Once his Poison Domain was deployed, countless deadly toxins densely filled every inch of space around his body.

Thereafter, Chen Hai’s attacks, though significantly stronger than before, still hadn’t caused any substantial harm to Wu Shanxing up to now. The major reason was the interference from these deadly toxins.

Some toxins could manipulate a person’s senses, causing auditory and visual hallucinations.

Others could stiffen a person’s body and slow down their speed.

And there were toxins that could kill an ordinary person instantaneously upon mere contact.

According to their types, each toxin could reveal vastly different effects.

Chen Hai’s Holy Body was indeed powerful and highly resistant to toxins, that was an undisputed fact.

However, he was still not to the point of being completely immune, treating all poisons as if non-existent.

Under the influence of Wu Shanxing’s Poison Domain, any slight effect from those toxins could cause Chen Hai’s attacks to err, failing to effectively hit Wu Shanxing.

After all, for combatants of their levels, every single move could mean the difference between victory and a great loss.

At that moment, he opened his mouth wide, and the Sea of Samadhi True Fire that he had been forcibly suppressing within his belly surged out like an overwhelming force.

Many toxins were invisible and imperceptible, manifesting without any signs, silently affecting the target and potentially causing immediate death.

But this invisibility was not absolute.

The so-called formlessness was merely because they were unseen and unfelt, making people falsely believe in their non-existence.

The Sea of Samadhi True Fire, which Chen Hai had forcibly suppressed, initially covered the entire valley.

Compared to Wu Shanxing’s Poison Domain, the range of the Sea of Samadhi True Fire was undeniably much larger once unleashed.

The sea of fire instantly enveloped Wu Shanxing’s Poison Domain completely.

In a sense, fire naturally counteracts all poisons.

Moreover, the Samadhi True Fire is not a Mortal Fire, but a true fire of Taoism.

Under the blaze of the fire, nearly ninety-nine percent of the various deadly toxins within Wu Shanxing’s Poison Domain were instantly obliterated.

The few remaining toxins, though not afraid of the flames, had minimal effect on Chen Hai.

“Spewing a sea of fire from your mouth? What kind of technique is this?” Wu Shanxing, already somewhat terrified of Chen Hai’s power, suddenly exclaimed with a changed expression.

“What does it matter what technique it is, as long as it can take care of you!”

“The Miaozhen Cave Mansion hasn’t opened yet. Right from the moment you appeared so arrogantly, I’ve been wanting to kill you.”

“However, considering some other factors, I temporarily refrained, not making a move against you.”

“And here you are, coming right to me, and not only that, but you also try to steal my fruits, snatch my opportunities.”

“What would you call this? You have the gate to heaven, yet you don’t take it, hell has no gate, yet you break in!”

Licking his lips, Chen Hai laughed loudly.

The Sea of Samadhi True Fire, previously suppressed in his belly, had now been released again. Although he hadn’t fully reached his peak yet, the power he could exert now had clearly jumped another level or even more.

Stepping into the Nether Shadow Step, Chen Hai’s figure flickered, and he completely disappeared from Wu Shanxing’s sight.

“This young fellow, not famous at all, looks completely unfamiliar, how is his strength so fierce?”

“I have been hunting geese all day, only to have my eye pecked by one!”

“No, this sea of fire greatly suppresses my Poison Domain, without the lethal poison as my support, I am definitely no match for him.”

“Escape! As long as I escape this sea of fire, when the various deadly poisons on my body can exert their proper might, I will then have the strength to fight this youngster.”

Seeing Chen Hai disappear, Wu Shanxing couldn’t even sense his presence, and his heart began to feel obviously anxious.

Of course, having been in the Cultivation World for so many years, and having experienced numerous battles, no matter how anxious he felt inside, it didn’t show much on the surface.

“Boy, don’t think that by restraining me with this Sea of Samadhi True Fire, you have got me all figured out.”

“Heart-shattering poison, gut-wrenching heart-break, die!”

Putting on a display of risking his old life, Wu Shanxing let out a loud roar.

However, the next moment, his mouthful of Heart-shattering Poison did not appear at all, and he had already taken the opportunity to turn around and flee.

“Bluffing in front of me? Do you really take me for a three-year-old child that can be easily deceived?”

“I’ve caught you, come back!”

Just as he had disappeared from sight, Chen Hai reappeared behind Wu Shanxing.

With a reach of his large hand, he grabbed Wu Shanxing’s green hat and crushed it to dust.

Having only escaped a few steps, Wu Shanxing was grabbed by the hair by Chen Hai and forcibly dragged back.

“Ah ah ah ah…” In a hysterical rage, Wu Shanxing roared repeatedly.

The hair grasped by Chen Hai turned into several colorful poisonous snakes, biting fiercely at Chen Hai’s arm.

Unfortunately, with just a slight shake of Chen Hai’s arm, those colorful snakes couldn’t even pierce his skin and were already shattered into pieces.

“Now that I’ve caught you, still scheming in front of me, die!” Expressionless, after shattering the chaotic swarm of snakes that Wu Shanxing had transformed from his head, Chen Hai’s big hand was already on his bald head.

“You want me dead? Don’t expect to have an easy time…” Determined, Wu Shanxing’s body suddenly burst open with a ‘bang.’

Flesh and blood flew in all directions, mixed with strands of pink mist spreading out.

Holding his head, and merely inches away from him, Chen Hai inevitably had pieces of bone and flesh hit him.

However, that stuff had limited potential to harm, not even penetrating the High Grade Vestment robe taken from Ye Fangxian, let alone actually hurting him.

“This, and you didn’t want me to have an easy time? Who are you trying to scare?” With disdain, Chen Hai sneered.

Having killed a man, he naturally did not forget to search the body.

But now, with Wu Shanxing obliterated, leaving no bones behind, those shattered flesh and bones had been instantly incinerated by the omnipresent Samadhi True Fire into nothingness.

He was a True Demon, not a True Immortal, having not spent great effort to cultivate Immortal Qi to consolidate an Immortal Body, thus after his death, there was none of the pure Essence Qi to disperse into the universe for Chen Hai to devour.

Such a True Demon had completely crushed his own Divine Soul and then merged it into his body to form a Demon Body.

Strictly speaking, the path of cultivation of a True Demon was somewhat similar to the one practiced by Chen Hai.

However, when they cultivated their Divine Soul, they took some shortcuts.

Like the Bloodthirsty Sect, they used some sort of divine Essence Blood as the object of their visualization, and the final cultivated Divine Soul was either a pool of corrupted blood or a sea of blood.

What the Divine Soul that Wu Shanxing had merged into his body looked like, Chen Hai was unsure.

At the time of Wu Shanxing’s explosion, the pink mist that dispersed into the surroundings mixed with the flesh and blood might be related to the Divine Soul he integrated into his body.

But now, those pieces of flesh and bones had been burned to nothing by the Samadhi True Fire, and the pink mist had also vanished into thin air.

It was unclear whether the mist had been burned by the Samadhi True Fire or had dissipated on its own.

After scanning around and finding no spoils of war, Chen Hai, looking annoyed, once again opened his mouth and directly swallowed the surrounding Sea of Samadhi True Fire into his belly.
