Chapter 931: Chapter 930 [Above the Divine Throne, Poison Saint Skeleton?]

Du Tianqi sat cross-legged above the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, appearing calm and collected. Despite Ye Tianchen’s demonstrated combat power and talent, which startled him, in his eyes, Ye Tianchen was still just a fledgling, and killing Ye Tianchen wasn’t difficult. Moreover, Ye Tianchen was already trapped within the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, making escape virtually impossible. If it weren’t for the mysterious and powerful Holy Heaven Prison, whose Chaos Qi is indestructible, Ye Tianchen would have been annihilated by now. Thus, in this battle, Du Tianqi held an absolute advantage, allowing him to remain composed and at ease.

Ye Tianchen was beneath the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, watching wave after wave of toxic Martial Arts True Power assail him. Despite the protection of the Chaos Qi, his mastery of Holy Heaven Prison and utilization of Chaos Qi had not reached the level of being freely controlled. Holy Heaven Prison was too powerful. Although Ye Tianchen began to comprehend it whenever he had time, he still couldn’t uncover the great secrets within Holy Heaven Prison. What kind of treasure was Holy Heaven Prison, and how strong its power was remained unknown.

The qi and blood within surged, and even with the protection of Chaos Qi, Ye Tianchen couldn’t withstand those waves of toxic Martial Arts True Power. Each attack was an overwhelming force, sending Ye Tianchen crashing around. If it weren’t for the protective Chaos Qi, he would have been dead by now. Continuing like this, he would sooner or later be shocked to death.

Bang!

Another wave of powerful toxic Martial Arts True Power sent Ye Tianchen flying, startling him. This Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was too powerful and bizarre, unlike ordinary treasures. No wonder Poison Saint, despite not being an Emperor-level figure, had reached an impressive level. Even with only thirty percent of the banner’s power exerted, its might was evident. Despite Ye Tianchen’s Chaos Qi protection — an indestructible shield — Ye Tianchen still felt overwhelmed and admired the banner’s power.

"No, if this continues, I’ll really lose my life. I’ve just infiltrated the Five Poison Sect, only to be trapped here. It’s unacceptable!" Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Suddenly, from four directions, four waves of toxic Martial Arts True Power charged forth, aiming for Ye Tianchen’s head. Ye Tianchen was startled; these waves seemed even more powerful than the previous Slaughter Aura. Taking them head-on would result in death or severe injury. This Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was too strong and strange. Any object trapped within would autonomously be attacked by toxic Martial Arts True Power, increasingly fierce and stronger with each attack. This autonomous slaughter attack was terrifying.

Ye Tianchen couldn’t avoid the attacks. Facing them head-on made his internal qi and blood surge, causing some disorder in the Martial Arts True Power within his Dantian. This would destabilize his use of Chaos Qi. This time, he really might be killed. He glanced upward, where a white skull opened its mouth, revealing a black vortex with tendrils of poison gas emitting from it. Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth, steeling his resolve: "Into the lair, attempt it regardless of danger; this was forced beyond reason, there’s no other choice but to fight!"

Boom!

Exerting all his Martial Arts True Power, Ye Tianchen transformed into a stream of Golden Light, charging into the white skull’s mouth like running into a trap, as the four powerful toxic Slaughter forces hadn’t hit him yet. He rushed into the white skull’s mouth.

Ye Tianchen dashed inside, unaware of what awaited him in the white skull’s mouth, whether a deadly trap or a snare. At the moment of entry, he fully mobilized the Chaos Qi, enveloping himself tightly to guard against any possibility.

Upon Ye Tianchen’s daring entry into the white skull’s mouth, he found no Slaughter Aura attacks, nor was it pitch black. Instead, within the white skull lay a starry sky scene. At the top of this starry sky was a Divine Throne, forged from countless skulls. Seated atop the throne was a skeleton, its bones seeming endlessly white, presenting a terrifying spectacle too intimidating to gaze upon directly.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow; he truly hadn’t expected this scene inside the white skull above the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner. Initially thinking there would be an even mightier Slaughter Aura inside, assuming entry meant imminent death, he was surprised to find a starry sky scene. At the sky’s zenith was a Divine Throne, forged from innumerable skulls, and seated there was a skeleton, infinitely white and daunting, displaying an aura imposing to the heavens.

"This skeleton has seemingly been here for hundreds of thousands of years. Nothing can withstand the erosion of time. Even an unrivaled Emperor must face a day when he turns to dust, yet this skeleton persists, its brightness intact, exuding an imposing aura over all existence. Could it be..." Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ponder internally.

Ye Tianchen was truly stunned, shaken by the skeleton on the Divine Throne above the skull. It’s been here for at least hundreds of thousands of years. The idea of hundreds of thousands of years passing, rendering anything nonexistent, even an unrivaled Emperor, dominant in the Martial Arts World without peer, could only live for about fifty thousand years at most. Hundreds of thousands would suffice for such an Emperor, who once roamed the entire Martial Arts World, to vanish utterly. Even the strongest legacies could fade away, let alone others. Yet this skeleton has endured here for hundreds of thousands of years. Is it really immortal? What individual was this whose bones remain as such formidable relics?

Buzz!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen felt as if he were seen through, an unsettling and ominous sensation, like standing naked in front of everyone, without any reservation. He hurriedly circulated the Martial Arts True Power within him, enveloping his cultivation at the Great Achievement Realm of "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" around his body, further channeling Chaos Qi tightly to protect himself.

"After hundreds of thousands of years, I didn’t expect someone to reach here. You are not a disciple of the Five Poison Sect. Who are you?"

A calm voice echoed in Ye Tianchen’s ear, not too loud or too cold, yet imbued with an irresistible, authoritative feeling that demanded a response. Ye Tianchen’s heart skipped a beat. The power of this speaker was beyond his reach.

Despite this, Ye Tianchen forcibly heightened a breath of Martial Arts True Power, swirling Chaos Qi into a small tornado to counter this undeniable authority. He did not remain silent but spoke: "My name is Ye Tianchen, and I am here to destroy the Five Poison Sect!"

"Destroy the Five Poison Sect? Do you know who I am? Saying such things in front of me will cost you your life!"

"If my guess is correct, you are the Poison Saint..."

When Ye Tianchen uttered this, even he was startled, scarcely believing he had encountered the Poison Saint. Despite merely being a skeleton, it emitted the aura of a peerless figure, oppressive to the world, shaking the heavenly vault. In front of this skeleton, Ye Tianchen indeed felt powerless. The gap in strength and cultivation realm was enormous, impossible to ignore or evade.

The Poison Saint was an extraordinary figure, with one foot in the Emperor Realm. Although never becoming an Emperor, he exhibited an invincible stature, having touched that realm. Throughout history, across countless millennia, those able to become an Emperor were scarce, and even touching that realm was rare, awe-inspiring. Even though the Poison Saint did not become an Emperor, he left a prominent reputation in the Martial Arts World, having been received and praised by the Human Clan Emperor, instilling fear!

However, Ye Tianchen would not bow or submit, even before the Poison Saint. Though the Poison Saint could likely crush him with a finger, Ye Tianchen would never surrender. This was his dignity and courage; amidst a crumbling sky and sinking earth, he remained steadfast, the sun, moon, and stars at his command!

"I am the Poison Saint, but also not. You say you want to destroy the Five Poison Sect; why?" The authoritative voice sounded again, still calm, surprisingly not striking Ye Tianchen down immediately.

"Du Tianqi wants to seize the Cultivation Treasure and treasure on me, threatening to mobilize the Five Poison Sect’s power to kill me, so I came, to kill first!" Ye Tianchen stated bluntly.

"Oh? Since you know I am the Poison Saint, you also know the Five Poison Sect was my creation. Wanting to destroy it cuts off my legacy. You won’t live!"

"Whether I live or die, fate is in my own hands. My life is up to me. You, as the Poison Saint, are an esteemed elder. If you want to kill me, I won’t wait idly; I will fight to the death." Ye Tianchen solemnly spoke to the skeleton on the divine throne.

"Haha, good courage, good spirit. A sect aims to destroy you, yet you invade it first to kill; such courage I admire. Facing me, the Poison Saint, you still wish to fight fiercely; this spirit is commendable. Let me see how strong you are..."

As these words were spoken, the skeleton on the divine throne seemed to come alive. From nowhere, a white light shot towards Ye Tianchen...(To be continued.
