Chapter 1697: Chapter 136: The Poison of Resentment

The concentrated burst of Void Energy, when clashing with Spiritual Power, creates fierce reactions, bombarding in hundreds and thousands of dense explosions, continuously consuming the Spiritual Power stored in the Divine Armor, and propelling the approaching Dao Child of the heavenly dragon further away.

Watching his opponent being repelled in the star field, Tang Luo felt no joy in having the upper hand.

Sometimes, he truly envied the people of this world, who could naturally regard their small surroundings as their whole universe.

As if concepts like clans, nations, and the world didn’t exist, people’s utmost recognition of community was limited to family and sect.

As for good and evil, these are entirely judgements served by one’s stance; the justice and fairness talked about by everyone are all self-interest oriented.

But who truly cares about the real meaning of these words? It seems that after the Demon Race completely withdrew, the moral standard of the Human Race began to regress in great strides.

To this day, he somehow felt as if the world was filled with swine and dogs; how were those so-called noble families any different from the once Demon Race?

Harm is harm, does it hurt the victim any less because the perpetrator is a humanoid beast?

In fact, the harm caused by one’s own kind often feels much more painful and fierce than that inflicted by a different species.

But then, who would willingly admit to being a complicit in evil?

Just like him now, embarking on the path of cultivation seeking freedom, hoping that every battle fought is for a cause that is justified.

But this time, he dared not face the still resolute Dao Child within the tumultuous Dragon Centipede Armor.

Even the bombardment of gathered Void Energy started to feel weakened.

On the other side, Yiqi of the heavenly dragon had no time to pay attention to Tang Luo’s inner turmoil; from the beginning of their encounter, he focused all his attention on the battle.

After all, the formidable combat achievements of the Void Grandmaster had to be studied, even by a non-combative sect like the Medicine God Sect.

Especially for Little Miasma Peak, the Void Spiritual Body was treated as an extremely rare treasure.

Because only Void Energy, with its extremely high resistance to all attributes, could break through the current highest limits of poison-based Spirit Arts.

The last time Little Miasma Peak had such enthusiasm for research was when Yiqi of the heavenly dragon awakened his Poison Spirit Body.

But bloodline talent is just luck after all, while the Void Spiritual Body could bring benefits to all cultivators afflicted by poison spirits; hence, this time the research of Little Miasma Peak was particularly in-depth.

In some ways, Yiqi of the heavenly dragon understood the Void Spiritual Body even better than Tang Luo.

That’s also why, from the beginning of the battle, this Dao Child of the Medicine God Sect didn’t waste any Spiritual Power on offense, but instead kept gathering different kinds of poison spirits.

Unless it was an ability that had reached half of the tri-phase qualitative transformation, Spiritual Power attack methods were merely scratching an itch for the Void Grandmaster.

Not to mention the Void Grandmaster had the technique "As You Wish" to evade into the void, making Spirit Arts completely futile.

But in the sophisticated theories of martial arts, the strongest and weakest often reside at the same point, which also applies to the Void Spiritual Body.

Unlike normal Spiritual Bodies which carry natural Spirit Power, the Void Spiritual Body’s ability to encompass everything means there is no excess energy leaking; let’s use a simple example.

A Grandmaster practicing a fire-based technique, when activating the Spiritual Body, would produce extremely high-temperature flames at the body’s surface. If someone used a Yellow Rank Spirit Art on them, it would melt upon touching the flames before even reaching the Spiritual Body.

But the Void Spiritual Body is different; as long as Tang Luo didn’t dodge, any level of Spirit Art could make contact with the Spiritual Body.

Though it would still be ineffective, this was the only opportunity that Yiqi of the heavenly dragon could seize.

As a condition for his strike, he had obtained a bottle of Poison Dragon’s Saliva from a Dao Child of the Beast Taming Sect.

The so-called Poison Dragon is a dragon of the abyss, feeding on the evil thoughts of all things; the heavier the malign qi, the stronger the dragon’s power.

With this Poison Dragon’s Saliva, Yiqi of the heavenly dragon began researching the Evil Thought Poison. It’s fair to say that this Dao Child of the Medicine God Sect was naturally a prodigious talent in the way of poison, and he actually discovered a method to refine poison by stripping away resentment.

However, having the method was not enough; he also needed a vessel to store the toxic resentment. With no other options, he could only use his own Spiritual Body as the container.

In his days of overcoming calamity and aiding the world, he not only upheld justice but also absorbed a lot of resentful poisonous qi.

All that anger, all that unwillingness, all that pain, were all gathered by Yiqi of the heavenly dragon using a secret method, all to possess the power for a decisive blow when facing a formidable enemy.

According to Little Miasma Peak’s judgement, the Void Grandmaster’s Spiritual Body is impenetrable; his combat techniques are the peak of the human realm, unbeatable unless the Human King himself arises.

Such an existence has long surpassed the limits that Fierce Realm warriors can handle, therefore from the start, Yiqi of the heavenly dragon never expected to win in battle.

But as a Divine Sect Dao Child, he too has his pride, which is to leave an indelible memory on the opponent even if he knows he is no match.

Feeling the sudden deceleration of the opponent’s attack, a flash of cold light in Yiqi of the heavenly dragon’s eyes, he suddenly activated all the Spiritual Power stored in the Yusu Longwu Armor, allowing the Dragon Centipede Soul to solidify as if real, charging violently towards Tang Luo.

Facing the fierce assault of the Dragon Centipede, the Void Grandmaster simply waved his hand from below, with Void Energy madly infusing his robust and long arm during the motion.

The giant hand, now expanded hundreds of times, merely swept away with one strike. The formidable strength, amplified by the kinetic force, instantly flung the threatening but inwardly frail Dragon Centipede phantom away.

Where the palm made contact with the remnant Dragon Centipede, the solid Spiritual Power model was vaporized by the immense compressive energy. With more kinetic force added, the vast phantom of the divine beast cracked inch by inch, quickly covering its hundred-zhang body.

The strike was successful, as the gigantic palm returned overhead as if to catch the unprotected Dao Child inside the Divine Armor; unbeknownst to it, Yiqi of the heavenly dragon was waiting for just this chance.

Shooting out of the shattered Dragon Centipede phantom, his spirit embraced a Poison Pearl filled with the resentment of a thousand souls, which he pushed into the descending giant hand.

The Void Grandmaster’s arm, capable of resisting thousands of spirits and spells, had no defense against this emotion-based toxin. The Poison Pearl was easily pushed into the Void Spiritual Body.

But at the same time, the overshadowing giant hand also came pressing down, an attack range so vast there was no room for evasion, leaving Yiqi of the heavenly dragon, divested of the Divine Armor, struck and sent flying.

Meanwhile, Tang Luo, successful with his strike, had no time to pay heed to the result, as he was resisting the Poison Pearl that had entered his large arm with the Yin-Yang Two Extremities Grinding Disc.
