Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Black Poisonous Fog Flower

"Leave those two youths alone!"

A burly man in black brocade roared in a deep voice, his long sword moving extremely fast, continuously striking the scales of the venomous sea dragon, sparks flying everywhere.

The other two, clearly twins, were dressed and looked extremely similar, attacking from both sides with the strongest offensive.

Youths?

Qin Jun’s face was an odd mix of emotions, wanting to laugh but holding it back.

Li Yuanba, on the other hand, didn’t care. Thin as a rail, his body remained in the state of a teenager; naturally, he looked like a youth.

But this "youth’s" combat power was off the charts.

"The first layer of the Indestructible Saint Body technique can absorb myriad poisons to temper the body. I wonder if that black flower will have any effect on me," Qin Jun mused to himself. He wasn’t looking for too much of a breakthrough, as long as there was some progress, it would be fine.

A black flower guarded by a peak third-stage venomous sea dragon was definitely not simple, truly extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the four middle-aged cultivators and the venomous sea dragon were locked in a fierce battle. All four were strong in the Golden Elixir Realm, ranking among the top, their spiritual power dominating, wreaking havoc over a space of twenty meters around them, with the fog swirling and taking various forms.

Yet they were still unable to overcome the venomous sea dragon. Although the creature’s size wasn’t overwhelmingly large, its abnormal defensive strength was causing immense headaches for the four of them.

Dark aura swirling, the venomous sea dragon became increasingly violent, its tail lashing out from time to time with immense force, causing the short and plump middle-aged man to be struck and his battle-axe to fly out of his hand.

"Hiss—"

The flickering snake’s tongue, the sinister snake eyes emitted two terrifying beams of blood-red light in the thick fog, looking from the side it truly seemed like a sea dragon writhing inside, forcing the four cultivators to dare not approach.

After watching for a while, Qin Jun found it boring and led Li Yuanba towards the black flower behind the venomous sea dragon.

The black flower was as large as a basin, with four petals, looking incredibly strange; from a distance, it resembled a statue of a flower made out of black iron.

"Kid, don’t go over there!"

The brocade-robed middle-aged man shouted angrily. First, he was worried about Qin Jun being killed by the venomous sea dragon, and second, they would be extremely frustrated if they put in all the hard work only for someone to get there before them.

But Qin Jun didn’t pay any attention to him and kept walking toward the black flower, much to the fury of the four cultivators.

"Let the kid go. If he dies, he deserves it!"

The short and plump cultivator cursed, his face full of anger.

The venomous sea dragon also noticed the actions of Qin Jun and Li Yuanba. It immediately swung its tail at them with the force of ten thousand jins; if hit, one would undoubtedly be reduced to a pile of broken bones.

At that moment, Li Yuanba suddenly flashed in front of Qin Jun, casually grasping the tail with his right hand. His fingers sank into the flesh like eagle’s claws, causing blood to surge out and the venomous sea dragon to shriek in pain.

Ssss—

The four cultivators gasped in shock. They were well aware of the fearsome defensive power of the venomous sea dragon; despite their attacks, they could not break through its scales. But Li Yuanba easily did, and with just one hand. How strong must his right hand be?

"Hmph! A mere sea dragon dares to be so rampant!"

Li Yuanba snorted coldly and with a casual toss, the venomous sea dragon, weighing thousands of pounds, was flung away, flying over the heads of the four cultivators.

They stared, dumbfounded.

The venomous sea dragon, which appeared almost invincible to them, was so easily defeated in Li Yuanba’s hands.

Unaffected by their shocked expressions, Qin Jun settled down before the black flower to meditate. An exotic fragrance rushed into his nose, causing an impulse to claim the black flower as his own.

No wonder magical beasts always guard such heavenly treasures. If it were an ordinary person, they likely couldn’t resist the temptation.

With that thought, Qin Jun began to cultivate using the first layer of the Indestructible Saint Body technique. The strange aura emitted by the black flower rushed into his body, causing the four cultivators’ eyes to turn red with envy.

"Wasting such a treasure! He’s actually using the Black Poison Mirage Flower to cultivate. That’s a rare ingredient for alchemy!" The short and plump cultivator was so angry that he stomped his feet, his three companions grinding their teeth in frustration.

But Li Yuanba stood behind Qin Jun, deterring them from any rash actions.

"Young brother, could you spare us a bit?" The brocade-robed middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth. They had finally found the Black Poison Mirage Flower and fought the venomous sea dragon for a whole half-hour, and now someone else had come to cut in. How could they give up so easily?

"Scram!"

Li Yuanba said impatiently, giving them no face.

A terrifying murderous aura burst forth like a tsunami, rushing towards the four, causing their faces to change dramatically, retreating rapidly, with goosebumps covering their bodies.

They couldn’t match this force!

The thought simultaneously flashed through the minds of the four.

If it wasn’t for Li Yuanba’s good mood, they would already be corpses.

Li Yuanba never reasoned with anyone, a displeased mood could mean a hammer to the head.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun had already immersed himself in cultivation. The aura of the Black Poison Mirage Flower entered his body and his skin quickly turned a blackish purple that was visible to the naked eye, looking as if it were poisoned, utterly chilling.

Qin Jun felt as if thousands of insects were crawling inside his body, the sensation unbearably itchy, but he endured it with his strong willpower.

All for the sake of becoming stronger!

He had already died once, and even with the Mythology system, he wished to become stronger!

He firmly believed that the heavens don’t drop pies without reason. If the Mythology system had chosen him, there must be ulterior motives. Without knowing if they were good or bad, he needed to empower himself.

Moreover, as the Gods and Demons he summoned grew stronger, if he couldn’t keep up with their strength, he would eventually be betrayed by them.

His most important goal was still ahead!

That was to return to Earth. Although in his previous life he was just an ordinary office worker, he also had his family. His parents only had him as a son, and if they found out that Qin Jun had disappeared, who knows if they would collapse.

Boom!

Just then, Qin Jun felt an explosion within his body, as if the heart method of the Indestructible Saint Body had achieved a minor breakthrough, and the speed at which it absorbed the aura of the Black Poison Mirage Flower increased exponentially.

His pain also intensified. Initially just itchy, now it was excruciating, as if every muscle in his body was being gnawed by poisonous insects, twisting his features in agony.

"You’re courting death to absorb the poison gas of the Black Poison Mirage Flower so recklessly," the brocade-robed middle-aged man cursed. Although the Black Poison Mirage Flower contained vast amounts of spiritual energy, it also had a lot of poison. Most other cultivators would only absorb the spiritual energy, unlike Qin Jun, who absorbed everything.

Li Yuanba gave him a glare, causing his neck to shrink back, not daring to say more.

At the same time, the Black Poison Mirage Flower visibly withered away, Qin Jun’s face alternating between black and red, looking incredibly eerie.

"Ding! Since the host has absorbed a heavenly treasure for the first time, a one-level upgrade is rewarded!"

The system’s prompt suddenly sounded.

Boom!

Qin Jun’s spiritual power surged, his aura tumultuous, stirring the surrounding fog, twirling like a tornado around him.

Golden Elixir Realm, third layer!

The four cultivators watched, their eyes widening in disbelief. Damn it, he’s even breaking through!
