140: Chapter 139 The Trap of a Sixth-Rank Dou Zun

A strange fire related to poison can only be the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Although this strange fire does not rank high on the strange fire ranking list and cannot compare to those top-tier strange fires, it is the most suitable for Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body.

In his previous life, Ling Yuan read many fanfiction novels, and some contained methods of using the Netherworld Poison Flame to control the Calamity Poison Body, allowing the poison body and the strange fire to complement each other and completely solve the problem of the poison body's backlash.

This method follows the same principle as controlling the poison body with the heavenly poison pill, which is to transfer the excess poison that the body cannot withstand into a carrier.

A poison pill can serve as a carrier, and so can the Netherworld Poison Flame. Furthermore, the Netherworld Poison Flame can convert poison into poison power to nourish the poison body.

Ling Yuan calculated in his heart that if the strange fire in the center of the poisonous miasma was truly the Netherworld Poison Flame, perhaps he wouldn't need to wait for the bodhi transformation saliva to appear to help Xiao Yi Xian completely control her Calamity Poison Body.

Even if this method did not work, there would be no loss; he could just continue to provide her with the Poison Pill Method at that time.

Having made up his mind, the two stepped into the poisonous miasma.

Ling Yuan casually cast a layer of Dou Qi protective shield, enveloping himself within it; no matter how dense the poisonous fog outside was, it could not penetrate in at all.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, she was even less afraid. She activated her Calamity Poison Body, and a faint layer of green poison emerged around her. The surrounding poisonous fog was continuously absorbed into her body, turning into nutrients to nourish her poison body.

The two continued to penetrate deeper toward the center of the poisonous miasma. The further they went, the denser the poisonous fog became, and the poison in the air grew stronger. Even Ling Yuan's Dou Qi protective shield could feel a slight erosion.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the center of the poisonous miasma.

The scene before them caused the two to pause. In the open space at the center of the poisonous miasma, a green flame was floating.

The flame was not large, but it emitted a rich, poisonous aura. The surrounding poisonous fog was being continuously emitted from this very flame.

The Netherworld Poison Flame.

It was the strange fire ranked twentieth on the strange fire ranking list, born in the environment of poisonous swamps and miasma, gaining sentience after a hundred years and forming after a thousand years, containing potent poison.

Although it was only ranked twentieth on the strange fire ranking list, it could emit poisonous fog that even a Dou Zong could not withstand. Clearly, this Netherworld Poison Flame was not newly born.

It had obviously been fattened up by its previous master.

Near the strange fire, there were clear signs of a battle, along with many skeletons that had not yet been completely eroded by the poisonous fog.

Looking at it, one could tell that a great battle had likely taken place here, and perhaps the master of the Netherworld Poison Flame had died, leaving the flame behind.

Xiao Yi Xian was very pleasantly surprised: "It's the Netherworld Poison Flame!"

This time, she finally knew what the thing Ling Yuan said could help her get rid of the trouble of the Calamity Poison Body was.

Xiao Yi Xian was overjoyed and could not help but step forward, wanting to collect the Netherworld Poison Flame.

But Ling Yuan reached out and held her back: "Wait, this strange fire has an owner."

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned and turned to look at Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan continued to explain: "For the twentieth-ranked Netherworld Poison Flame to be nourished to this extent, its master's Realm must have reached at least the Dou Zun level."

"And the imprint on this Netherworld Poison Flame is still very strong, which means the master of the strange fire is still alive."

After explaining, Ling Yuan's gaze instantly became sharp. He turned to look into the depths of the poisonous fog not far away and said in a deep voice: "Come out, I know you are there."

However, after his voice fell, the surroundings remained quiet, without any movement, as if Ling Yuan were talking to the air.

Ling Yuan did not waste any more words. Knowing that the other party wanted to continue hiding, he moved his fingertips, and an invisible Soul attack was flung directly toward that patch of poisonous fog.

A burst of intense Dou Qi fluctuations suddenly erupted from that patch of poisonous fog, which had previously appeared empty.

A green figure violently retreated from the poisonous fog, while simultaneously forming hand seals rapidly, doing everything possible to protect his Soul.

A "grunt" sounded. Immediately after, the green figure's face instantly paled, his eyes filled with pain. He only felt a buzzing in his head, and his Soul felt as if it were being torn apart in agonizing pain.

After a while, he barely managed to steady his figure. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Ling Yuan: "You are clearly only a One-Turn Dou Zun, how could you possibly discover me? My concealment technique, even a Five-Turn Dou Zun might not be able to see through it!"

One must know, his Realm had reached a Six-Turn Dou Zun!

Ling Yuan looked at him, his tone cold, and spoke slowly: "Using the Netherworld Poison Flame as bait to attract poison masters in the Central Plains here, then taking the opportunity to murder them and take their poison blood as nutrients to help you achieve a Breakthrough in your Realm—a fine method indeed."

Once these words were spoken, the man was completely shocked. His body stiffened suddenly, and his face was written with disbelief: "You... how did you see through it?"

Relying on this method, he had killed many poison masters in the Central Plains during this period, and there was even no lack of some Dou Zun-level poison masters.

The previous Three-Turn Dou Zun who came here searching for the Netherworld Poison Flame had not discovered his trail and was ambushed and killed by him.

So many times, he had never failed, always feeling that his methods were flawless and no one could see through them.

But now, he had been exposed at a glance by such a young man who did not look old at all, which he simply could not accept.

After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Xiao Yi Xian's expression changed instantly. She turned to look at the man in the green figure, her eyes filled with disgust and coldness: "Are all these scattered skeletons killed by you? Using the poison blood of poison masters as nutrients, what a vicious method!"

Even though she possessed the Calamity Poison Body, she had never thought of doing such a thing.

The man wiped the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, a ferocious smile appearing on his face, his sinister eyes staring at Ling Yuan and Xiao Yi Xian.

"Even if you found out, so what? You are just a One-Turn Dou Zun, while I am a Six-Turn Dou Zun. What can you do to me?"

"Today, you and this woman with the Innate Calamity Poison Body will become my nutrients together!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly, as if possessed by madness. "Hahaha, the Innate Calamity Poison Body, it is a hundred times stronger than that trash Bing He's Acquired Calamity Poison Body. With your poison blood, I will definitely be able to achieve a Breakthrough to a Seven-Turn Dou Zun. This time, I've really hit the jackpot!"

Before his loud laughter had even faded, the man slammed his palm onto the ground. The green Dou Qi within his body instantly erupted, spreading in all directions, directly establishing a connection with the Netherworld Poison Flame not far away.

The green Dou Qi, carrying the thick poisonous fog, formed a huge light shield, instantly enveloping both Ling Yuan and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian subconsciously leaned toward Ling Yuan's side, a trace of nervousness appearing on her face.

Ling Yuan, however, was not afraid at all.

A Six-Turn Dou Zun—he had defeated those stronger than this before.

"Reincarnation Sound Wave Technique!"

As his voice fell, the Dou Qi and Soul Power within Ling Yuan's body operated simultaneously. An invisible sound wave erupted from his body, spreading in all directions.

Wherever the sound wave passed, the surrounding poisonous fog was instantly torn apart, the ground collapsed, and the surrounding dead trees and rocks were all shattered, its destructive power extremely strong.

This was a Heaven Rank Low Tier Dou Technique of the Ling Clan.

Having confirmed that the other party was an enemy, Ling Yuan would not hold back; he directly unleashed his strongest attack.
