Light and shadow shifted.
When Qin Xuan opened his eyes again, the scene before him was completely different.
’So this is what it’s like inside the Reincarnation Tower?’
Qin Xuan was quite astonished.
As far as the eye could see, the world was vast, seemingly boundless.
The air was filled with a multicolored, poisonous Miasma. Trees were withered and twisted, and the ground was littered with pallid human bones.
"Wooo... wooo..."
Malevolent phantoms, formed from pure toxic gas, let out sharp hisses.
The poisonous Miasma coiled around him like a living creature, seeping in through every opening.
Qin Xuan felt a burning pain on his skin, as if countless tiny Poisonous Insects were burrowing into his pores.
Even more terrifying, wisps of Miasma were trying to invade his sea of consciousness.
Illusions sprang up before his eyes, and the whispers of innumerable Resentful Spirits echoed in his ears, trying to throw his Divine Soul into chaos.
"Hmph!" Qin Xuan grunted. Just as he was about to circulate his Demonic Essence to resist, the Beast Taming Pouch at his waist suddenly began to throb violently!
The next moment, a dark light shot out from the pouch. The Netherworld Deceitful Spider had appeared on its own. On its palm-sized body, intricate Nether Patterns began to glow faintly.
It seemed unusually excited. Its mouthparts opened and closed, and like a great whale drinking the sea, it devoured the dense, multicolored Miasma in the surroundings!
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as realization dawned on him.
He immediately activated the Five Poison True Understanding.
Once the Cultivation Technique was activated, the pores all over his body seemed to transform into countless tiny vortexes, generating a powerful suction force.
The virulent, poisonous Miasma that had been eroding his body was now as docile as a lamb, rushing eagerly into him. The Cultivation Technique swiftly put it through Refinement, converting it into pure Poison Element that flowed into his Elixir Field Purple Mansion.
"Hahaha! This place may be extremely toxic, but for me, it’s a supreme paradise for cultivating my Poison Skill!"
Qin Xuan roared with laughter.
A faint, five-colored halo appeared around his body.
The absorbed poison Miasma circulated through his meridians, where it was tempered and purified. Its mottled colors faded away, transforming into a sliver of pure Poison Element that settled within him.
Incredible!
A look of pure contentment spread across Qin Xuan’s face.
The initial discomfort was swept away, replaced by a feeling of comfort that permeated his entire being.
His gaze swept over his companions.
Not far away, Wei Qingyi, the inheritor of the Poison Blood Sword Demon’s legacy, was equally composed. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
On his Lifebound Longsword, a dark green Sword Talisman flowed like a living thing, absorbing all the poison Miasma that drew near.
Meanwhile, Shi Jian, who possessed the Heaven-Burning Sword Talisman, had a completely different style.
"Red Fire Flames, burn!"
He let out a low shout, and crimson flames erupted around him. The violent Fire Element incinerated any toxic gas that approached, reducing it to nothing.
The air crackled and popped continuously, and the searing heat waves kept the surrounding poisonous creatures at bay.
Qin Xuan observed this secretly and shook his head.
’Shi Jian’s method is fierce and effective in the short term, but sustaining it for a long time in this endless poisonous Miasma will consume a huge amount of Demonic Essence. It’s not a sustainable strategy.’
The Purple Mansion Cultivators each displayed their own Divine Techniques.
No one lingered at the edge of this level for long. They all transformed into streaks of Escape Light and sped toward the depths of the Poisonous Miasma Prison.
Their figures were quickly swallowed by the thick, miasmic fog.
Qin Xuan proceeded unhurriedly, operating the Five Poison True Understanding to absorb and perform Refinement on the Miasma while cautiously exploring deeper.
’I have to stay in this Poisonous Miasma Prison for a month. Who knows what I’ll encounter... Maintaining an ample supply of Demonic Essence is the top priority.’
A glint appeared in Qin Xuan’s eyes.
...
「One day later.」
Qin Xuan had ventured deep into a toxic swamp region.
The mud churned, and dark green poison bubbles gurgled to the surface. The Miasma in the air was so thick it had almost condensed into a liquid.
Suddenly, the toxic swamp ahead exploded, and a bizarre monster charged out, roaring.
’The Reincarnation Miasma Demon, it’s here!’
A chill went down Qin Xuan’s spine.
The Miasma Demon before him was about ten feet tall. Its form was unstable, a twisted humanoid shape condensed entirely from dense, multicolored poisonous Miasma and the resentment of countless struggling, wailing residual souls.
Its "head" had only two empty eye sockets, in which burned an eerie green Soul Fire. Its massive maw opened and closed, spewing a toxic breath capable of corroding Magical Artifacts.
"ROAR!"
The Miasma Demon roared, locked onto Qin Xuan, and charged at him fearlessly.
Everywhere it passed, even the swamp mud was corroded.
Qin Xuan’s gaze hardened, and instead of retreating, he advanced. "Perfect timing! I was just in need of a high-quality Miasma Soul Crystal!"
He formed a sword with his fingers as a burst of pure Poison Element erupted from his body, transforming into several condensed, dark Poison Arrows that shot through the air toward the Miasma Demon.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The Poison Arrows pierced the Miasma Demon’s body, leaving several holes.
But the surrounding Miasma quickly gathered, and the wounds began to heal before his very eyes.
Pained, the Miasma Demon’s assault grew even more frenzied. Its arms transformed into two venomous pythons that coiled and lunged to bite him.
’Just as I thought, it’s a tough one. Ordinary attacks aren’t lethal.’
Qin Xuan’s thoughts raced. His figure flickered like a phantom as he dodged the pythons’ pounce.
At the same time, the Netherworld Deceitful Spider silently crept up behind the Miasma Demon and spat out an incredibly tough, dark blue spiderweb, instantly binding it.
The Nether Poison coating the web reacted violently with the Miasma Demon’s body, creating a "TSSSSS" sound of corrosion.
"Despicable... die..." The Miasma Demon emitted a mental wave filled with resentment. Its Soul Fire flickered violently as it struggled with all its might.
"Remnants of intelligence? A pity. In the end, you’re still just a malevolent creature."
Qin Xuan formed a sword with his fingers. A condensed stream of dark Poison Element shot out, easily dispersing the Foundation Establishment Stage Reincarnation Miasma Demon before him.
However, before he could collect the Miasma Soul Crystal that was about to form, something unexpected happened!
The dense Miasma in the surroundings rushed madly toward the dissipating demonic body. Accompanied by the shrieks of countless residual souls, the Miasma Demon re-formed in the blink of an eye!
Not only that, but its aura skyrocketed, surging from the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. Its form also became much more solid, and its Soul Fire burned even more fiercely.
"Hm?" Qin Xuan frowned. "The Soul Capturing Demon Monarch was right. They really are hard to kill. This is actually a bit tricky."
