Upon hearing this, the two men fell silent. They had already used up all their trump cards in the battle, and their combat power was the weakest among the four.
If the war breaks out again, they will probably suffer the most, and that is why they secretly formed a small alliance with each other.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "The Hundred Poison King can restrain the Golden Crow's Mist. The Liangyi Patriarch is at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, and he is protected by the Liangyi Demon-Slaying Formation."
"As the saying goes, pick the weak ones and squeeze the weak ones. If they can join forces, do you think they can both come back alive?"
When the two heard this, they fell silent.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, make friends with those far away and attack those near. The reason why the four major forces in your Central Region can be balanced is because your strengths are almost the same."
"Even if you can go back safely, once you return to Chixia Continent, will the two of them deal with me who is far away in the Western Regions, or will they first annex your two major forces and obtain the resources to advance to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul?"
"You should know that throughout the five regions of Nanling Chixiazhou, I have never heard of any region being able to give birth to two Yuanying Great Perfection people at the same time."
Upon hearing this, the two giants fell silent.
A hint of fear appeared in their pupils, and finally Qianji Yanzhu said: "After entering the third floor, we can hold back on you."
"But once we have a falling out with the Hundred Poison Venerables, we will definitely be poisoned by the Golden Crow's Mist, so I need you to provide a batch of antidote pills."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "I still have a few fourth-level intermediate-grade detoxification pills. Although they cannot cure the poison of Golden Crow Mist, they can temporarily suppress the toxicity."
"With your abilities, as long as you can return alive from Xuanyang Cave Heaven, I believe you can cure the Golden Crow Mist Poison."
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and said nothing more.
Just as everyone was communicating, the gate barrier finally began to show signs of breaking down under the attack of the five people.
"Everyone, please make an extra effort to completely break this formation, and we will share the treasures inside."
Seeing that the formation was about to be broken, the Liangyi Patriarch showed excitement.
But he saw him use all his strength to activate the Liang Yi Demon-Slaying Formation, condensing an ancient Liang Yi sword that stabbed into the air and hit the gate.
The other four also fought with all their strength, and each of them used their best skills to attack.
Even Ye Linyuan activated the Tiangang Thunder Pillar, which emitted a brilliant column of lightning that shot out and collided violently with the Liangyi Demon-Slaying Formation.
"boom--"
Finally, with a loud roar, the restriction was blasted open by everyone working together.
Seeing the door being opened, everyone flew in with surprise. The moment they entered the restriction, the Poison King instantly activated his magical powers and controlled a black snake to shoot towards Ye Linyuan.
"Shura Black Snake."
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly. This Shura Black Snake was the poison magic that the Lord of Hundred Poisons was good at. If an ordinary person was contaminated by it, he would turn into pus and blood and disappear.
However, today Ye Linyuan did not retreat a single step. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But at this moment, a blazing yin-yang light came, carrying the world-destroying divine power and colliding with the Shura Black Snake.
"Fellow Daoist Liangyi, you..."
Seeing that the Liangyi Patriarch suddenly stopped him, the Hundred Poison King suddenly showed a solemn look.
The Liangyi Patriarch smiled slightly and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Ye is the husband of the spirit plant. It is a pity to kill him. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why don't you just put an end to your grudges?"
When Bai Gu Du Jun heard this, his expression changed slightly.
He looked at Qianji Yanzhu and Wanjie Fuzun, but saw that the two were standing aside without taking any action, and seemed to be still hesitating.
The Hundred Poison King seemed to understand something, and immediately looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have a great plan. You can divide us with just a simple plan of sowing discord."
Ye Linyuan smiled and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist is good at poison techniques and was able to poison us without anyone noticing. How could you not be a little afraid?"
"The four of us are of the same blood, how could I poison you?"
The Lord of Poisonous Poisons showed an angry look, but he saw that the other three were staring intently at the hall in front of them.
He couldn't help but look back and found that in the center of the hall in front of him, a pill platform was slowly floating in the air.
It was a building made entirely of nine-day white jade, with the golden Sun God Spring flowing around it, and in the spring there was a golden crow flapping its wings and soaring.
"Nine Heavens White Jade."
"Sun God Spring."
Ye Linyuan whispered, a hint of doubt rising between his brows.
The Nine Heavens White Jade is a rare treasure of the fourth rank. It is the best material for refining spiritual treasures or cultivating the second Nascent Soul. It is also effective in resisting inner demons and is very useful for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Sun God Spring is a rare treasure of the fourth level and one of the nine main ingredients for refining the Heavenly Soul Pill. I didn't expect that there is such a small pool here. It must be no less than one third of the total.
"With so many Nine Heavens White Jades and the Sun God Spring, I'm really going to make a fortune this time."
Qianji Yanzhu couldn't help but speak, and continued to reach out to grab this thing, but still suppressed the desire in his heart.
Because in this third-floor hall, the Nine Heavens White Jade and the Sun God Spring are just supporting roles, and the real treasure is on the white jade platform.
But on the jade platform, a pill the size of a longan was seen slowly floating up and down. The pill was covered with glazed gold patterns, emitting colorful rays of light, and was surrounded by a hazy pure white fairy aura.
As soon as everyone smelled the fragrance of the elixir, they felt their magic power boiling up, and their bodies seemed to have a feeling of floating in ecstasy.
"This is……"
"The elixir of immortality, this is the legendary elixir of immortality."
Wanjie Fuzun opened his mouth slowly, and couldn't help but reveal a look of extreme ecstasy.
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan also figured out the origin of this pill. This so-called elixir of immortality is a supreme pure yang elixir made from a fifth-grade low-grade branch of the Longevity Ancient Tree, one of the ten ancient true spirit trees.
The mysterious thing about this precious pill is that after taking it, a Nascent Soul cultivator can directly increase his lifespan by 7,200 years, and then transform into an immortal being comparable to a top-level true spirit of heaven and earth.
As far as Ye Linyuan knew, the lifespan of a Yuanying stage True Spirit of Heaven and Earth was much longer than that of humans. An ordinary True Spirit of Heaven and Earth could live for about four thousand eight hundred years.
The longest ones can live as long as 7,200 years, but these are generally the true spirits of the upper heaven and earth.
Most of the top-notch true spirits of heaven and earth have a lifespan of around 9,600 years. Those true spirits of heaven and earth that have a lifespan of 9,600 years are also called immortal species.
Legend has it that there are some special spirits of heaven and earth that are more than 9,600 years old, such as the North Sea Black Tortoise, the Immortal Silkworm and other creatures of heaven and earth, whose lifespans are more than tens of thousands of years.
Of course, because they have to face the eternal catastrophe, it will be difficult for these creatures to survive the eternal catastrophe if they do not break through the realm of the primordial spirit.
And this elixir of immortality can transform a Nascent Soul cultivator into an Immortal Seed. What a supreme treasure it is.
In this era of scarce resources, life span has become the most precious thing. If they can obtain this elixir of immortality and transform into true immortal species, wouldn't they be able to enjoy their heyday for another five or six thousand years in the future?
In this way, let alone breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, they would have a glimmer of hope even to step into the Half-Step Nascent Soul stage.
"Elixir of Life."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were red, and greed appeared on their faces.
But they looked at each other, and then a hint of extreme murderous intent emerged in their eyes.
There was only one elixir of immortality on the scene, and this elixir was worth their life-threatening struggle. Compared to this elixir, their alliance had no meaning at all.
But for Ye Linyuan, this elixir of immortality did not have much appeal.
Because he is already considered an immortal, his life span exceeds seven thousand two hundred years, and he even holds a seedling of an ancient immortal tree in his hand.
If one day, he could cultivate this ancient immortal tree into a fifth-level true spirit ancient tree, his own lifespan would definitely far exceed these 7,200 years.
"There seems to be something wrong with this elixir of immortality."
After looking at it with a normal mind, Ye Linyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He discovered that although this elixir of immortality was surrounded by immortal aura, it looked like an extremely sacred pure yang elixir.
However, Ye Linyuan unexpectedly discovered that after the fragrance of the elixir entered his body, the turbid beads in his body actually responded and he had a desire to swallow the fragrance of the elixir.
"The fragrance of the elixir is poisonous."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and suddenly became alert.
His turbid beads are condensed from impurities and turbid air, which are the most yin and turbid things in the world. They like to devour the turbid air, evil spirits, demonic spirits and even poisonous air in the world. The fragrance of this elixir can attract the turbid beads, so it is probably a special poison.
Combined with the previous scene where the bottles of pills were all empty, Ye Linyuan immediately retreated several steps silently.
Seeing this, the Hundred Poison King looked at Ye Linyuan and sneered, "Why, fellow Taoist, do you want to reap the benefits?"
"You worry too much, my friend. I just want to protect myself. Now that you are fighting for the treasure, I will take the lead."
After he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan stood up and left quietly.
This time, Bai Gu Du Jun and others did not chase Ye Linyuan again. Compared with the treasure like the elixir of immortality, the grudge with Ye Linyuan was nothing.
The four of them took a look at the elixir of immortality, and then a war broke out.
This was an extremely chaotic melee, with the four giants fighting fiercely over the elixir of immortality, but whenever anyone approached the elixir, they would be besieged.
The battle lasted for hundreds of moves, but no one was able to seize the elixir of immortality.
"Almost?"
After the two sides had fought for hundreds of moves, the Poison King suddenly sneered and urged a True Spirit Gu worm to self-destruct.
In an instant, Qianji Yanzhu and Wanjie Fuzun spat out mouthfuls of black blood on the spot, and Liangyi Patriarch also had a dark green look on his face, and was unable to move for a while.
"Hahaha, this elixir of immortality belongs to me."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lord of Poison flew to the elixir of immortality and grabbed the elixir in his palm.
The three giants were immediately filled with anger. The Liangyi Patriarch looked at the Hundred Poison King, his eyes full of murderous intent as he asked, "When did you poison us?"
"As early as the moment you stepped into the Alchemy Palace, I had already started poisoning you."
The Lord of Hundred Poisons sneered, with a triumphant smile on his face: "In order to prevent you from noticing, the poison I used is not a highly toxic one, but a colorless and tasteless poison of the Dao."
"Although this poison is not very toxic, it is more concealed and is enough to greatly reduce your power in a short period of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Gu Du Jun picked up the immortality pill and swallowed it into his stomach. "You dare!"
In an instant, the expressions of the three giants changed suddenly, and they all used their magical powers to attack the Poison King.
Unfortunately, the Poison King was well prepared. While he was refining the elixir of immortality, he was also mobilizing all kinds of magical powers to protect his body. He was not at a disadvantage when facing the three people whose powers were temporarily reduced.
However, Bai Gu Poison King knew very well that once the three men recovered their strength, he would be no match for them, so he immediately prepared to escape from the hall.
But at this moment, the face of Bai Gu Poison King suddenly changed drastically, and he roared in extreme shock and anger: "No, it's impossible!"
"Is it that easy to take over my body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Poisonous Poisons sacrificed an ancient tortoise shell and flew up, emitting terrifying spells and magical powers, which seemed to compete with the mysterious existence of the eyes.
But in an instant, the tortoise shell was completely shattered, and the Lord of Poison suddenly crashed into the hall, and the whole person's aura seemed to dissipate in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly his expression changed slightly. The ancient tortoise shell was a special one-time magic treasure that could resist the attack of the backlash of the heavenly secrets spell. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed in an instant.
Seeing this, the three giants also prepared to take action to kill the Poison King, but they found it was too late.
Because a stronger aura emerged from the body of Bai Gu Poison Lord, and when he slowly opened his eyes, his originally dark purple eyes turned into a pair of pure golden pupils.
At this time, the Lord of Poison slowly rose into the air, and all around him, phantoms of the mighty Golden Crow appeared, each ray of which exuded the power to destroy nothingness.
"All immortality is false, only Tao is eternal."
The Lord of All Poisons spoke slowly and calmly walked down from the sky.
As he walked forward, the appearance of his surroundings seemed to have changed dramatically at this moment.
The originally old and withered appearance gradually became tall and slender, and the ugly face became unparalleled handsome. The black robe turned into a black and gold imperial robe, which was covered with the shadow of the sacred golden crow flapping wings.
"My name is Sheng Yangtian, and I am honored to meet you, my friends."
At this moment, the handsome man spoke calmly, with a smile in his eyes as he looked at everyone.
At this moment, everyone present felt uneasy, because it turned out that the elixir of immortality contained an extremely ancient forbidden existence.
"Holy Sun Sky!"
The Liangyi Patriarch seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said in shock: "You are the last ancestor of Jinwu Cave Heaven, the one who has dominated the world for thousands of years, and the senior Shengyangtian who once competed with the Great Desolate Saint for the position of the Heavenly Sovereign."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised and couldn't help but think of the past events about Shengyang Cave.
After the disappearance of the former Saint Yang Tianjun, in fact, the Saint Yang Cave Heaven did not disappear completely. It must be that the Saint Yang Cave Heaven and the Xuan Yang Cave Heaven can be regarded as an ancient cave heaven hidden from the world.
At that time, in Shengyang Cave Heaven, a Golden Crow would descend to the mortal world every few years, and among them there were many people who were qualified to compete for the title of Yuanshen Tianjun.
This senior Shengyangtian is the last ancestor of Shengyang Dongtian.
At that time, this person's talent was unprecedented in history, and he was praised as the most talented person in Shengyang Cave Heaven in the past 100,000 years. He could even be compared with the young Shengyang Tianjun and was called the second Shengyang Tianjun.
In fact, this is true. Sheng Yangtian has cultivated to the level of Pseudo Heavenly Lord at a young age and is only one step away from becoming the Heavenly Lord of Yuanshen.
At that time, in order to help Shengyangtian fight for the Tao, almost the entire Shengyang Dongtian clan mobilized to fight for the opportunity for him to achieve enlightenment.
Unfortunately, this person was unlucky and met the Saint Lord Taihuang. Who was the Saint Lord Taihuang? He was the only invincible figure who had achieved enlightenment in the flesh in nearly a million years.
The two sides fought a fierce battle for the opportunity to achieve enlightenment. In the end, the Jinwu clan was almost wiped out by the Taihuang Saint Lord, and Sheng Yangtian also seemed to have died on the battlefield.
Now it seems that Sheng Yangtian did not die, but hid in the Dan Palace, using elixirs to recover from his injuries, and then hid his soul in the elixir of immortality.
"Originally, I hid in the elixir of immortality, intending to seize the body of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
"Unfortunately, only a few people in the late Nascent Soul stage came. It seems that it will take some time for me to recover my cultivation."
Sheng Yangtian spoke slowly, then looked at the three giants: "If you youngsters are willing to submit to me and offer a wisp of your life soul to sign a slave contract, I am willing to give you a chance to live."
"Signing a slave contract?"
The expressions of the three giants suddenly changed. The Liangyi Patriarch sneered and said, "Although the senior is a pseudo-celestial monarch, he has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years. It is unknown how much power he still has."
"Not to mention that you have just seized the body of the Hundred Poison King, and seizing the body of the Hundred Poison King must have consumed a lot of energy, right?"
"kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Liang Yi Patriarch exploded instantly, urging the Liang Yi Demon-Slaying Formation to suppress Sheng Yang Tian.
Upon seeing this, Qianji Yanzhu and Wanjie Fuzun also used their magical powers one after another and madly suppressed Shengyangtian.
Facing the attack from three people, Sheng Yangtian remained calm. Instead, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You are right in your guess. I don't have much fighting power left. Even if a Nascent Soul Master comes, I will have to flee."
"It's a pity. Since I have made the plan, how could I be unprepared?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden true sun appeared behind Sheng Yangtian. The golden corona that shook the heaven and earth emerged and blocked the attacks of the three giants.
Then he sneered, stretched out his hand and clenched it, saying: "Explode for me."
"puff--"
In an instant, the expressions of the three giants changed drastically.
The bodies of Qianji Yanzhu and Wanjie Fuzun, who were more seriously injured, exploded with blood mist, and their powerful Nascent Soul bodies were cracked with many cracks, obviously they had suffered extremely terrible injuries.
The Liangyi Patriarch was slightly better, but he was also hit hard again.
"When did you poison us?"
Patriarch Liangyi barely suppressed his injuries and couldn't help but speak in horror.
But Sheng Yangtian ignored him, and turned into a golden rainbow that broke through the air, instantly passing through Qianji Yanzhu and Wanjie Fuzun.
When he reappeared, Sheng Yangtian was holding two Nascent Souls in his hands. He smiled strangely and said, "Nascent Souls in the late Nascent Soul stage. These are great tonics."
As soon as he finished speaking, he cruelly swallowed the two Nascent Souls into his stomach, swallowing them alive.
"I'll fight you."
Seeing Sheng Yangtian being so cruel, the Liangyi Patriarch was immediately furious and almost used the Liangyi Demon-Slaying Formation to attack Sheng Yangtian, but his true body turned into a beam and flew away.
"You can't run away."
Sheng Yangtian showed a hint of ridicule, then turned into a golden rainbow that broke through the air and instantly caught up with the Liang Yi Patriarch.
The technique of the Golden Crow transforming into a rainbow is one of the ten great ancient escape magic powers. Faced with the technique of the Golden Crow transforming into a rainbow, Patriarch Liang Yi was completely despairing and could only grit his teeth and fight it fiercely.
However, having suffered a series of severe injuries and being poisoned, how could he be a match for Sheng Yangtian, the pseudo-Lord of Heaven?
In just a moment, he died under Sheng Yangtian's Zhiyang magical power. However, this man was worthy of being a veteran Yuanhou giant, and he also caused certain injuries to Sheng Yangtian.
"Come out!"
After dealing with the three giants, Sheng Yangtian suddenly spoke calmly.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan also walked out calmly and looked at the tall figure in the black and gold imperial robe.
"I heard you are a spiritual plant husband."
Sheng Yangtian spoke calmly, his eyes leaving no room for doubt: "Following me is the greatest honor of your life. Hand over your soul and sign the soul contract."
"What if I don't?"
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and the Xuanyuan Zhenhai flags around him slowly circled.
Seeing this, Sheng Yangtian sneered and said, "Then the fate of the three of them will be your fate."
Ye Linyuan did not say anything, but just waved his sleeves and sucked out a ball of blood, and four big words "Shang, Die, Destroy, and Death" appeared on his palm.
Finally, the word "Hong" slowly lit up and completely merged with the ball of essence and blood.
"not good!"
Sheng Yangtian's expression suddenly changed with horror, and he immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed over through the air, but it was too late.
With the fusion of this death and essence and blood, Ye Linyuan's lifespan was taken away by a full sixty years. Then a cursed blood blade broke through the air and pierced into Sheng Yangtian's forehead with unstoppable force.
In just a moment, Sheng Yangtian slowly stopped in mid-air, and his body began to turn into pus and blood and dissipated bit by bit.
"I have been planning for many years, but I never thought that it would be defeated by a mere middle-stage Nascent Soul."
"What a blood soul curse..."
At the moment of death, Sheng Yangtian slowly opened his mouth, and eventually his body completely turned into pus and blood and dissipated.
"call--"
Seeing Sheng Yangtian completely fall, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but let out a breath slowly.
Sheng Yangtian had planned everything and was almost one step away from success. Unfortunately, the person he wanted to possess happened to be the Lord of Poison. It can only be said that he was extremely unlucky.
Because Bai Gu Du Jun had lost a lot of blood and essence before, he was worried that Ye Linyuan would ask someone to cast a spell to kill him, so he specially prepared a special magical tortoise shell to protect his soul.
As a result of a strange combination of circumstances, when Sheng Yangtian was trying to take over another's body, he bumped into the tortoise shell. Although Dao Zhiqi succeeded in taking over the body, he also consumed a lot of energy, and his own combat power was temporarily reduced.
Otherwise, with the soul at the level of Saint Yangtian Pseudo-Lord of Heaven, it is capable of taking over the body of a being at the level of Great Perfection of Nascent Soul.
The most crucial thing is that Ye Linyuan has taken over the essence and blood of the Hundred Poison King whose body Sheng Yangtian possessed. This can be said to be the most fatal weakness.
Now without the protection of the tortoise shell that could protect his soul and counterattack the spell, Sheng Yangtian faced the strongest move of the fourth-grade upper-grade Blood Soul Curse, and ultimately died in Ye Linyuan's hands in an extremely aggrieved and cowardly manner.
If Sheng Yangtian were allowed to take over another body and reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, or if he were allowed to recuperate for another seventy or eighty years until he had completely digested the power of the elixir of immortality, he should at least be able to recover half a step of his Nascent Soul cultivation.
Unfortunately, there is no if in all this. The Hundred Poison King's methods are even more sinister and cruel, which also destined him to be the first to seize the immortality pill. Taking over the body of the Hundred Poison King is almost his only choice. (End of this chapter)
