Chapter 1743 - Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison 2 (1/2)
He Ling appeared beside Yun Che and stared at the realm beneath her feet blankly… this was the first time she hadn’t spoken to him since making an appearance.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest as a dot of blue light emerged from the center of her palm. It was the Sky Poison Pearl.
Unlike twenty years ago when Yun Che first awoke in Floating Cloud City, there was a brilliant, emerald glow in the Sky Poison Pearl... a glow that might terrify any ancient god of the past had they still existed today.
He Ling’s long, emerald hair started floating, and the Sky Poison Pearl glowed brighter and brighter. Her eyes were also starting to glow the same color as the Sky Poison Pearl as well.
Her usual delicateness disappeared completely in that moment. It was instead replaced by a soundless, intimidating pressure.
The pressure came from the origin of the Sky Poison Pearl. It was a divine aura that exceeded all that existed in the Primal Chaos right now. Like an ancient goddess who descended upon the earth to lay judgment upon the sinful, she evoked a kind of uncontrollable fear and iciness that would paralyze any living being except Yun Che.
When the Sky Poison Pearl’s light reached its peak, He Ling finally released her palms and set free the shapeless, odorless and colorless sky poison.
The name of this poison was Heaven Wounding Thought Severing!
Back then, the Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison was a name that frightened even the ancient gods and devils.
Although it was far weaker compared to “Myriad Tribulations”, it was still deadly enough to kill a god.
Since the death of the original Sky Poison Pearl Poison Spirit, the only poison Yun Che had been able to cultivate was the lowest of low, a mortal poison. And that was after he found its poison origin on the Azure Cloud Continent.
After He Ling sacrificed herself and became reborn as the perfect poison spirit, the Sky Poison Pearl finally started regenerating its origin poison, Heaven Wounding Thought Severing once more.
This was especially true after he began dual cultivating with He Ling. Although it didn’t help his Laws of Nothingness at all, it did improve He Ling’s poison recovery speed by leaps and bounds.
In this sense, he could call himself He Ling’s “incubator”.
Although this was still nothing compared to when the Primal Chaos was still at its peak… it was still the Profound Heavenly Treasure which had a poison that could kill a god!
Even if the poison was a hundred times less toxic than it used to be, even if it was so miniscule that it was almost invisible, it still transcended common sense and the limits of endurance of any living being in the current world.
The Brahma Monarch Capital’s barrier failed to impede Heaven Wounding Thought Severing in the slightest. It landed right at the center of the capital before spreading outward.
The Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison was shapeless, colorless, odorless, and even “auraless” in a sense. It was the highest form of poison since the Era of Gods, and not even a god emperor could detect its invasion.
The pinnacle of the profound way in the Eastern Divine Region, the Brahma Monarch Capital looked as peaceful as ever. Not a single person had noticed the spreading poison.
Gradually, the entire capital was trapped inside its deadly embrace.
Yun Che only watched silently as He Ling continued her work. He hadn’t forgotten the pain and despair that nearly overwhelmed her when she heard of the death of her brother and her people. It was a pain he had gone through himself. That was why she had to be the one to do this.
He would never forget the look in her eyes when she turned herself into the Sky Poison Poison Spirit for revenge either.
Suddenly… he raised his eyebrows a little.
The light of the Sky Poison Pearl had become much dimmer, but He Ling’s eyes were as cool as ever.
Her complexion turned paler and paler, and her hands began to shake a little. But not only did she not show any signs of stopping at all, the poison continued to spread toward the rest of the realm after covering the whole capital.
“He Ling?” Yun Che asked. “You can stop now. It is done.”
“...” But He Ling still didn’t stop. Doing everything in her power to maintain the divine light in her eyes, she whispered very, very softly, “I wonder… if the people who killed father and mother… are beyond the capital?...”
Shaken, Yun Che quickly grabbed He Ling’s trembling hands and said urgently, “You can think about that later, now stop! You’re exhausting your poison energy and your spirit energy!”
Four years ago, Yun Che asked an enslaved Qianye Ying’er: Who was the one who had hunted down the Wood Spirit Royal Family?
Qianye Ying’er’s answer to him was “I don’t know”. She even deduced that that person must be pretty low level, or they would never have given He Ling and He Lin’s parents the chance to detonate their Wood Spirit Orbs.
Clearly, He Ling still remembered those words to this day.
“Low level”. Does that mean those people are outside the capital?...
Slowly, her memories started replaying themselves in her mind. The memory of her father and mother detonating their own Wood Spirit Orbs… the memory of her clansmen being massacred… the memory of her younger brother letting out a heartbreaking scream… the memory of the bad news that extinguished even her last hope…
Her pupils started swimming erratically, but she still didn’t stop releasing the Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison. She was normally an obedient girl who only knew how to say yes in front of Yun Che, but for the first time she disobeyed his order and kept spreading the Heaven Wounding Thought Severing Poison further and further away...
I… finally have the power to take revenge…
The day… has finally arrived!
For my parents, and for my clan…
They must die…
They all must die!
Her pupils and her hands started shaking more and more violently. Her face was rapidly losing all color. Slowly, even her emerald pupils...
…were starting to turn black, the kind of black that should never appear in a Wood Spirit’s eyes, much less a Royal Wood Spirit.
