The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2118: Chapter 2064–2065: Flying Snake Poison and Zhenwu King

Wu Thirty-Seven’s eyes showed a mocking expression, sneering, “Ignorant and fearless people, the Flying Snake Poison is one of the most potent venoms in the world, nurtured by various poisons passed down by our Witch Clan’s Ancestral Witch Shebi Corpse. Even a True Immortal would be wary of it. Do you think you’re stronger than a True Immortal?”

Zhuque’s Myriad Laws are indeed impervious, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire can scorch all things. However, the other party is merely an entity yet to attain True Immortal status. How can it withstand the Flying Snake that our Witch Deity Teaching cultivated at such a great cost, something even a True Immortal finds difficult to resist?

Governor Xu, fighting while speaking coldly, said, “Boasting big words. If it were truly the Flying Snake Poison, this governor would naturally fear it, as it can be endured even by a True Immortal. But the poison of your Flying Snake is not the real Flying Snake Poison.”

Although he was controlled by Zhuque’s will, he still retained basic rationality, or perhaps more time to think in such a moment. Ths chapter is updatd by novel(ꜰ)ire.net

What the other party said was true; the venom is indeed frightening. However, thinking from another angle, if it were truly such a terrifying poison, how could the other party control it?

Wu Thirty-Seven nodded, acknowledging the truth of the other party’s words, yet he still spoke with a smile, “Indeed, the real Flying Snake Poison is far more potent than the venom from this Flying Snake’s mouth. But the poison from this Flying Snake’s mouth has some special characteristics; its toxicity is not intense. Yet, by now, you should have already felt something.”

Governor Xu heard the words from the Earth Queen, only then noticing the faint yellow light emitted from the spot bitten by the Flying Snake. It was barely visible unless one looked closely.

Moreover, this yellow light slowly spread across his body, but he felt no threat from the earth-toned light, observing no abnormality on himself.

However, he dared not be careless, after all, fighting a master like Wu Thirty-Seven, even a slight negligence could cause great harm. Given the confidence the opponent displayed regarding the Flying Snake’s venom, it certainly wasn’t just empty talk.

Hence, even as Governor Xu’s words were tough, he activated the flames on his body, attempting to expel the Flying Snake Poison.

Wu Thirty-Seven watched the bursts of fire emerging from the other party’s body and smiled without speaking, showing no intention of stopping him, as if intending to let him be.

Originally, Governor Xu thought his cultivation and dominant Divine Fire could easily expel the Flying Snake Poison. But when he truly exerted himself, he found that the Flying Snake Poison was extremely persistent. His body’s Primordial Qi could only keep the poison from spreading throughout his body but couldn’t expel it.

He had to use the Divine Fire to block the poison’s spread, preventing it from diffusing, planning to expel it after the battle. Yet, he failed to realize that with his body afflicted by the Flying Snake Poison, his actions were becoming increasingly sluggish.

Flying Snake Poison, petrification!

This is the most unique feature of Wu Thirty-Seven’s Flying Snake Poison.

The most bizarre aspect being, the faster his internal Primordial Qi circulated, the faster the petrification occurred, impossible to halt, leaving him to watch himself gradually turn to stone.

The outcome was decided, with Governor Xu’s defeat; the loss of Xu City was imminent, and even many states and counties in the Northern Border of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty were about to fall. This undoubtedly cast a shadow over the development of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.

As the saying goes, to die before the battle is won, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty had grand plans for conquest, triumphing on various fronts, capturing cities, and expanding vast territories.

Little did they expect that the Great Yu imperial court, which they had been suppressing, would dare to attack the Northern Border during its vulnerability.

And they even succeeded!

But what did Duke Dingguo, who was guarding the Northern Border, plan, what were his thoughts? Now half of the Northern Border had fallen, even Xu City, the ancestral land of Duke Dingguo’s lineage, was conquered by the Great Yu imperial court, an event of significant impact.

When this news spread, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was shaken, the current Great Ming God was furious. If not for the numerous achievements of Duke Dingguo’s line, their many allies in the Court, and the pleas of others, the current Duke Dingguo would likely have been summoned back from the front and imprisoned.

This was not merely an issue of losing a city, it directly damaged the invincible image of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s conquests, signaling to other powers that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was not insurmountable, nor were they isolated and unsupported.

“Useless! Utterly useless!”

Among one of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s armies, upon receiving news of Governor Xu’s death, the fall of Xu City, and the near-total collapse of the Northern Border, Duke Dingguo was incensed.

If not for the Great Ming God’s decree to swiftly annihilate the opponent, he might have led the army back to reclaim the lost states and counties in the Northern Border.

For many years, he fought relentlessly in the North Territory, pushing the Great Yu imperial court to the brink of ruin, only to now face a counter-attack from his enemies, losing even Xu City. It was a disgrace he could not accept.

“Calm your anger, Duke.” A nearby general repeatedly advised, although they too were displeased, as being part of Duke Dingguo’s line meant any calamity or punishment he suffered was also detrimental to them.

“This Duke dispatched forces to support him. Had he strictly defended the city without sortie, he could have secured enough time. In that case, we could have coordinated from within and without, annihilating the opponent in one fell swoop, and even launched a counteroffensive against the Great Yu imperial court, opening the passage to the North Territory.”
