Chapter 1632 The Poison of Annihilation
Chapter 1632 The Poison of Annihilation
"They've come with ill intentions. It seems we haven't even gone after the Shadow Temple yet, but they've come knocking on our door first."
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of the three in the blink of an eye.
This was a man dressed in black armor. His face was stern, his eyes were cold, and he exuded an aura of the peak of the Dao Realm.
"Song Yu, I am Shadow One, a subordinate of the Lord of the Shadow Temple!" The man's voice was icy, his gaze fixed on Song Yu, filled with killing intent. "I have come to take your life on the orders of the Lord!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yingyi's figure blurred, and he pounced on Song Yu like a ghost. A black dagger appeared in his hand, its surface gleaming with a sinister light and exuding a deadly aura.
"court death!"
Song Yu snorted coldly, and with a wave of the Chaos Dao Sword, Chaos Sword Qi instantly slashed out, colliding with the black dagger.
"clang!"
With a loud bang, Shadow One was forced back several steps, and a crack appeared in the black dagger in his hand.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ying's eyes. He hadn't expected Song Yu's strength to be so formidable.
It should be noted that his black dagger was a divine weapon of the Dao, which ordinary peak Dao Realm experts could hardly shake. Yet now, it was cracked by Song Yu's sword.
"A half-step Dao Immortal Lord?" Ying Yi's pupils shrank suddenly as he finally realized Song Yu's cultivation level, and his heart was filled with shock.
His orders were that Song Yu's cultivation was only at the peak of the Dao realm, but the Song Yu before him had actually broken through to the half-step Dao Immortal Lord realm, which was completely beyond his expectations.
"It seems the information about the Temple of Annihilation is wrong," Yingyi thought to himself, his killing intent growing even stronger.
Even if Song Yu breaks through to the half-step Dao Immortal Lord level, he still has to complete the mission!
"Shadow Assassination Technique!"
With a low shout, Ying Yi's figure instantly became illusory, as if he had merged into the shadows and disappeared from the spot.
"Hmm?" Song Yu frowned slightly, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.
This Shadow Killing Technique is extremely strange; it can blend into shadows and kill people invisibly.
"Watch out, he's in the shadows!" Naihe's voice rang out, and with a flick of his light blade, streaks of white light slashed towards the surrounding shadows.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several beams of white light landed on the shadow, but there was no reaction.
Just then, the shadow beneath Song Yu's feet suddenly twitched, and a black dagger shot out from the shadow, aiming for Song Yu's ankle.
"Little tricks!"
Song Yu snorted coldly, his figure instantly soaring into the air, and a sword aura slashed fiercely at the shadow beneath his feet.
"puff!"
A spurt of blood appeared, and Shadow One's figure was forced out of the shadows, a deep wound on his chest that revealed the bone, his face as pale as paper.
"So powerful!" Ying Yi was shocked. He hadn't expected that Song Yu could see through his Shadow Killing Technique.
Song Yu hovered in mid-air, holding the Chaos Dao Sword, his gaze coldly fixed on Ying Yi: "The Shadow Temple is nothing special!"
"Song Yu, don't be so smug!" Ying Yi gritted her teeth, a glint of madness flashing in her eyes. "Today, even if it costs me my life, I will kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zhou's aura surged wildly. He actually began to burn his divine soul to gain powerful strength.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" The Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he shouted loudly.
The self-destruction of a peak Dao Realm expert is incredibly powerful; even a half-step Dao Immortal Lord would be severely injured if struck head-on.
"Want to self-destruct? Not that easy!"
A cold glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes. He immersed his mind in the Wheel of Life and Death, drawing upon a wisp of life and death power, and shot it toward Ying Yi.
That trace of life and death power, though seemingly weak, contains the power of the rules of life and death reincarnation.
The power of life and death struck Yingyi, causing him to tremble and his burning of his divine soul to be instantly interrupted.
"What... what kind of power is this?" A look of fear flashed in Ying's eyes. He felt that his soul was bound by a mysterious power and could not burn at all.
Without wasting words, Song Yu swung the Chaos Dao Sword, and a dazzling Chaos Sword Qi instantly slashed towards Ying Yi.
"No!"
Shadow let out a desperate scream as his body was cleaved in two by the chaotic sword energy, and his soul dissipated as well.
Having dealt with Shadow One, Song Yu slowly landed, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
The appearance of Shadow One puzzled him!
The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana should know his strength; he would never send someone like this to his death!
Unless the other side is an idiot!
Just as Song Yu was filled with doubt, he discovered that a layer of viscous green liquid had appeared on the ground. This was something that had been produced after Shadow One's fall!
"What is this?"
Song Yu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Shadow One...
There's absolutely no way they'd come to their deaths without a reason!
Before Song Yu could think any further, the viscous green liquid suddenly rushed towards him!
"what!!"
Caught off guard, Song Yu was hit by the viscous green liquid, which instantly transformed into a thick green armor that adhered to his surface!
"Not good! I feel my Dao power is rapidly draining away!"
Song Yu subconsciously tried to use the power within his body to break free from this thing, but he found that the power within his body was rapidly dissipating, which completely dumbfounded Song Yu!
The Poison of Annihilation!
Specifically designed for experts above the Dao Realm, those who are corrupted can only unleash the power of the Eternal Mirror at most. Although the Eternal Mirror is considered the absolute upper level in the lower realm, in this upper realm, the Eternal Realm can only be considered the middle to lower level!
Song Yu felt a chilling, bone-piercing power seep into his limbs and bones through his pores, and the Dao power that had been surging like a river dissipated rapidly like the receding tide.
"What the hell is this?"
Song Yu let out a low growl, gripping the green slime on his body tightly with both hands and tearing it outwards.
But the viscous fluid, like a vine that has taken root, adhered more tightly to the skin the more force was applied, and even slowly seeped in, spreading towards the dantian.
Upon seeing this, both the Demon Emperor and Naihe's expressions changed drastically!
The two rushed to Song Yu's side. The Demon Emperor slapped Song Yu's back with his palm, trying to force back the strange liquid with his powerful demonic energy!
"It's no use! This thing can't be cut at all!"
Naihe's voice carried a hint of anxiety. He could clearly feel that Song Yu's aura was dropping at an alarming rate, from the pressure of a half-step Dao Immortal Lord to the peak of the Dao Realm in the blink of an eye, and it was still weakening!
Song Yu's face grew paler and paler. He could clearly sense that the power within his dantian was leaking out like water from a burst dam, and he couldn't even mobilize a trace of the power of the Wheel of Life and Death.
The Wheel of Life and Death remained silent in his sea of consciousness, as if isolated by an invisible barrier, and no matter how he called out to it, there was no response.
"Dao power... my Dao power..."
Song Yu staggered back two steps, his body swaying as he nearly fell to the ground, his eyes filled with horror and resentment.
He never imagined that Shadow One, this seemingly weak opponent, would leave behind such a vicious contingency plan.
Just then, a wild laugh suddenly came from the distant horizon, and a figure wrapped in overwhelming demonic energy appeared in front of the three of them as if by teleportation. It was none other than the Evil Annihilation Heavenly Venerable!
Behind him followed a dozen or so powerful black figures, all of whom were top experts from the Shadow Temple.
"Song Yu, you didn't expect this, did you!"
The Evil Annihilation Celestial Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Song Yu, filled with mockery and cruelty. "That Annihilation Poison is a valuable item from the Temple of Annihilation, specifically designed to counter powerful individuals like you. Once it touches you, your Dao power will dissipate, leaving you at the mercy of others!"
Song Yu looked up and saw the ferocious face of the Evil Destroyer, and his heart sank.
He finally understood that Shadow One hadn't come to kill him at all, but to deliver poison! The Temple of Annihilation and the Temple of Shadows had long ago set up a trap, waiting for him to fall into it!
"Destroy Evil!"
The Demon Emperor roared, and his demonic energy surged, like a giant black wave sweeping towards the Evil Annihilation Heavenly Venerable!
However, the light blade in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and sharp sword lights shot out, aiming straight for the vital points of the Evil Annihilation Heavenly Venerable.
He knew that Song Yu was at his last gasp, and only by fighting desperately could they buy Song Yu a chance to survive.
The Evil Annihilation Celestial Venerable sneered, his figure blurring as he easily dodged the attacks from the Demon Emperor and Naihe. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips: "You two? You think you can stop me? Today, you will both die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so black figures behind Xie Mie Tianzun attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of powerful attacks that surrounded the Demon Emperor and Naihe.
These shadowy figures were all veteran powerhouses of the Shadow Temple, the weakest of whom had reached the mid-stage of the Dao Realm. When they joined forces, even the Demon Emperor and Naihe were instantly plunged into a fierce battle.
The Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable fixed his gaze on Song Yu, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
His palm was filled with dense demonic energy, carrying a world-destroying power!
"Song Yu, prepare to die!"
Song Yu's pupils shrank sharply. He wanted to dodge, but his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. The last bit of Dao power in his body was barely enough to keep him standing.
Just as the Demon Emperor's palm was about to land on his head, he roared and broke free from the two black figures, charging headlong at the Demon Emperor.
"boom!"
The Demon Emperor and the Evil Annihilation Heavenly Venerable clashed violently. A mouthful of blood spurted from the Demon Emperor's mouth, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
However, his collision successfully slowed down the attack of the Evil Destroyer.
"Song Yu, run!"
The Demon Emperor's voice was hoarse and urgent. He struggled to his feet and charged at the shadowy figures again, "Naihe and I will hold them off for you. You must run! Run as far away as possible!"
Taking advantage of this moment, Naihe forced back the enemy in front of him with a sword and shouted to Song Yu, "Master, run away!"
Song Yu's eyes instantly reddened as he looked at the Demon Emperor and Naihe, who were fighting fiercely.
He knew he couldn't stay here; otherwise, he would only be a burden to them.
He gritted his teeth, used the last bit of strength in his body, turned around and fled frantically to the east.
