386: The helpless Phantom Poison King

By this time, the Phantom Poison King had cast Soul Corrosion on Xun Xiuyuan several times, but the other party showed no reaction at all.

The Phantom Poison King knew that the culprit behind everything was the Great Saint Realm Human Race before him.

His army was almost completely wiped out, leaving only a few commanders with no troops left.

However, the Phantom Poison King still held a sliver of hope and asked coldly, "Was it you who killed Illusion Spirit?"

Seeing that the other party still hadn't given up, Xun Xiuyuan took out the corpse of a Phantom Poison Person.

"Are you talking about him? He was very strong; it was a hard-fought battle to kill him."

Xun Xiuyuan's words were true and not exaggerated, but at that time, Xun Xiuyuan was only in the True Saint Realm. If the current Xun Xiuyuan were to face Illusion Spirit again,

it certainly wouldn't take that long.

Watching Illusion Spirit's corpse being held in Xun Xiuyuan's hand like a puppy,

the Phantom Poison King's expression turned ugly once more. Illusion Spirit was the third strongest expert in the Phantom Poison Universe, second only to the Phantom Poison King and Huan You.

The current situation also indirectly proved Xun Xiuyuan's power.

Except for the Phantom Poison King, all the Saint Kings of the Phantom Poison Universe looked at Xun Xiuyuan with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

The Phantom Poison King did have one cosmic core. His deal with Nuke was also for one cosmic core; although it was of the common Five Elements attribute, it was still extremely valuable.

However, he was unwilling to just hand it over for nothing.

While the Phantom Poison King was hesitating, Xun Xiuyuan grew a bit impatient.

It was only because he feared his strength wasn't enough to take down the Phantom Poison King that Xun Xiuyuan hadn't made a move yet.

Seeing the unwilling look in the Phantom Poison King's eyes, Xun Xiuyuan stopped wasting words.

He directly cast another Dream of a Thousand Years, enveloping the thirty Saint Kings before him. Who cares about exotic beast value?

Even if it's a loss, I'll kill you.

The Dream of a Thousand Years cast with ten billion Mental Energy was immensely powerful.

Except for the Phantom Poison King, whose expression remained unchanged, all the other Saint Kings felt a sense of discomfort.

The Phantom Poison King looked back at his subordinates and then at the pale-faced Xun Xiuyuan.

Every time he cast a full-power Dream of a Thousand Years, Xun Xiuyuan felt a wave of weakness, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Seeing this, the Phantom Poison King prepared to attack Xun Xiuyuan, but Qing Hui, Mortal World, and the others guarding Xun Xiuyuan's side all moved to intercept him. Ignoring their own injuries, they were determined to stop the Phantom Poison King.

However, the paleness on Xun Xiuyuan's face lasted only an instant before he recovered immediately.

The moment his recovery was complete, Dream of a Thousand Years fell again, then recovery, then Dream of a Thousand Years once more.

When disregarding the cost of exotic beast value, Xun Xiuyuan's combat power was truly tyrannical.

Except for the Phantom Poison King, all the single-system Saint Kings on the opposite side looked dispirited, and even the five-system and six-system Saint Kings hesitated to move forward.

Because Dream of a Thousand Years had a huge impact on the Soul, they wouldn't be able to exert much power even if they attacked.

Blocked by Qing Hui, Mortal World, and the others, the Phantom Poison King looked at the Saint Kings behind him again and felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.

Finally, he chose to retreat and said, "I can give you one cosmic core, but I have one condition."

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head. "Condition my ass!"

Seeing the Phantom Poison King softening, Xun Xiuyuan was fuming. In the Great Saint Realm, every time he recovered, it cost fifty quadrillion exotic beast value, and he had just recovered six times in that short span.

The Phantom Poison King was stunned by Xun Xiuyuan's response: Is he cursing at me?

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the Phantom Poison King and said in a heavy voice, "Now it's not one, it must be two. Otherwise, none of you should think about going back."

Xun Xiuyuan saw that Qing Hui and Mortal World could withstand the Phantom Poison King's attacks.

His Dream of a Thousand Years could also greatly affect the other Saint Kings. It was clear that after advancing to the Great Saint Realm, his combat power had increased significantly.

The Phantom Poison King's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to say something harsh but feared that the hothead opposite him would attack at the slightest provocation.

A cosmic core wasn't a common cabbage; even the Phantom Poison King only had one.

He had only prepared one because of the deal with Nuke.

One must know that if a cosmic core is used properly, it almost represents a single-system Saint King, which is a combat power comparable to someone like Titan.

The Phantom Poison King was now secretly communicating with the several six-system Saint Kings behind him.

"Your Majesty, that man's Soul Secret Skill is incredibly overbearing. We don't have Soul Defense Treasures like yours. Although it's not fatal, we lose our ability to fight."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay for long. I think we should retreat and reconsider our plans."

Listening to the words of the six-system Saint Kings, the Phantom Poison King looked at Xun Xiuyuan again.

"I have one cosmic core, and only one. If that's not enough, then let's fight to the death!"

By saying such words, the Phantom Poison King was already showing extreme concession.

Xun Xiuyuan then received a transmission from Qing Hui: "Xiao Yuan, don't be too aggressive. Mortal World and I have reached our limits."

Xun Xiuyuan originally wanted to persist, but after hearing Qing Hui's transmission, he said indifferently to the Phantom Poison King, "One cosmic core and ten million cosmic stones. No negotiation."

After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan closed his eyes and stopped looking at the crowd opposite him.

The Phantom Poison King's expression changed repeatedly, and finally, he helplessly threw out a spatial ring. As the ring flew in front of Xun Xiuyuan,

the Phantom Poison King spoke again: "Might I know Your Excellency's name?"

After catching the spatial ring, Xun Xiuyuan answered calmly, "Xun Xiuyuan. I'll remember your invasion this time. Wait for me in the Phantom Poison Universe; I will come soon."

The condition the Phantom Poison King originally wanted to propose was that the Yuan Ling Universe must not attack the Phantom Poison Universe for a short period. This was because the Phantom Poison King had to suppress a rebellion upon his return; if there was an external invasion, he would certainly be overwhelmed.

Hearing Xun Xiuyuan's words, the Phantom Poison King, despite his dark expression, didn't say much more.

He only gave a cold snort and then quickly left with the dozens of Saint Kings.

Seeing this, Qing Hui immediately shouted, "Everyone, return to your respective fortresses!"

This time, the Yuan Ling Universe had suffered heavy losses. The True Saint Realm was almost completely wiped out, and less than a third of the Great Saint Realm remained.

Fortunately, almost all the high-end combat power was preserved.

All of this was thanks to Xun Xiuyuan's return; otherwise, the Yuan Ling Universe would likely have been doomed this time.

Mortal World looked at Xun Xiuyuan and couldn't help but say, "You are very strong, and very good."

Xun Xiuyuan didn't know that Mortal World's impression of him had always been poor. Seeing Mortal World speak to him,

he smiled faintly and said, "Grand Elder Hong Chen, I know where Senior Jiu is being held. I need to go into seclusion for a while, and then I will seek a way to rescue him."

Hearing this, Mortal World's eyes widened. "Is what you say true?"

Xun Xiuyuan nodded.

At this moment, Mortal World threw all her previous suspicions about Xun Xiuyuan aside, and he looked much more agreeable to her.
