Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 455 - 254: Slaying the Five Poisons, Another Enlightenment in the Sword Dao

Many years ago, when Li Chang’an was still just a Qi Refining Cultivator, he had already made an enemy of the Five Poison Wanderer.

Back then, after breaking through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, he had planned to travel to Yellow Crane Immortal City to seek an opportunity for Foundation Establishment.

「The night before his departure.」

A Divination had shown that he and Zheng Qingqing would be ambushed and killed. The assassins would be none other than Cao Zhengxiong and the Five Poison Wanderer!

Cao Zhengxiong had long since died in the battle that destroyed the Cao Family, becoming one of the countless souls within the Venerable Soul Banner.

「Over the years.」

Li Chang’an, wary of the Five Poison Wanderer’s Poison Technique, had never made a move against him.

Now, the time had come!

“Go!”

The Cyan Wood Divine Light instantly tore through the sky like a bolt of cyan lightning, slamming heavily into the Five Poison Wanderer.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s entire body shook violently as several more of his Protective Treasures shattered.

“Li Fan, you can’t kill me!”

The Five Poison Wanderer roared. With a wave of his hand, a bloody Spiritual Light shot out from his Storage Pouch, transforming into a Corpse Refinement with a formidable aura before him.

Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he studied the Corpse Refinement for a moment.

’A Tier Three Corpse Refinement?’

“That’s right!”

The Five Poison Wanderer wiped the poisoned blood from the corner of his mouth, his emerald-green eyes staring at Li Chang’an like a viper’s.

“Li Fan, this corpse is a Treasure lent to me by the Great Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect! Both its Magical Power and Body Refinement have reached Tier Three. With this Treasure protecting me, what can you possibly do?”

As he said this, the Five Poison Wanderer’s heart filled with resentment.

This Corpse Refinement.

It was originally his trump card, prepared specifically for Li Chang’an.

He had intended to use its Tier Three Power to crush Li Chang’an outright.

But now…

He was the one on the verge of being crushed by Li Chang’an!

The Corpse Refinement was no longer a trump card, but his lifeline.

After observing it for a moment, Li Chang’an said indifferently, “A mere Early Stage Tier Three Corpse Refinement is not enough to stop me.”

The Five Poison Wanderer shouted, “Li Fan, you’re welcome to try!”

“Fine.”

Dealing with this Tier Three Corpse Refinement wasn’t difficult.

Li Chang’an could have used his Thirty-six Swords Formation to blast the Corpse Refinement to pieces.

But he didn’t.

「The next instant.」

An imperceptible golden glint flashed in his eyes. He had already activated the Golden Soul Sword Transformation Technique!

A small golden sword, formed from Divine Sense, flew out. In a flash, it cut through the void and pierced into the Five Poison Wanderer’s Sea of Consciousness.

“AHHH—”

The Five Poison Wanderer screamed, clutching his head with both hands, feeling as if his skull was about to split open.

His Fake Pill Divine Sense was more than enough to completely overwhelm the man’s Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.

His face contorted in agony, and his entire body trembled.

“Li Fan, you actually know a Divine Sense Technique!”

The Five Poison Wanderer shrieked, his voice laced not only with pain but also a hint of terror.

He knew in his heart.

Faced with a Divine Sense Technique, the Tier Three Corpse Refinement was useless.

He didn’t dare to linger. He transformed into a streak of dark green Spiritual Light, intending to flee, but in an instant, he slammed into the Netherworld Evil Domain.

’He can actually remain conscious?’

Li Chang’an was slightly surprised.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s Divine Sense had to be much stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator.

Any other cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Peak would have had their Sea of Consciousness shattered by that attack, driven completely mad.

“Go!”

Without hesitation, Li Chang’an immediately unleashed a second sword.

The small golden sword shot across the sky and pierced into the Five Poison Wanderer’s Sea of Consciousness.

「This time.」

There were no surprises.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s Sea of Consciousness suddenly shattered.

Blood streamed from his seven orifices. His face was a mask of agony as he wailed unceasingly, plummeting from the sky and crashing to the bottom of the Netherworld Evil Domain.

A light flashed in Li Chang’an’s hand as he unleashed a streak of Wood Sword Qi.

“Sever!”

The Sword Qi flew past, and the Five Poison Wanderer’s head went flying with it.

Dark green, poisoned blood splattered everywhere. Within the blood, countless struggling Poisonous Insects could be vaguely seen.

This infamous old poison master, who had terrorized the lands for over a hundred years…

…had fallen!

“Soul, come!”

Li Chang’an beckoned with his hand.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s Soul appeared beside his corpse.

Facing the fluttering Venerable Soul Banner, even an old poison master like him couldn’t help but show fear.

But he still tried to threaten him. “Li Fan, I serve under the Great Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect! By killing me today, you are slapping the Great Saint Child in the face!”

“The Great Saint Child? If he dares to come, I’ll just add him to the Venerable Soul Banner as well.”

Li Chang’an was unconcerned, showing no fear whatsoever.

The Five Poison Wanderer shouted, “Li Fan, don’t think you’re the only one who has achieved Core Formation! The Great Saint Child has also formed his Pill, and it’s a Superior True Pill! You are no match for him!”

“A Superior True Pill? Then the quality of his Soul should be quite high.”

“You…”

The Five Poison Wanderer was at a loss for words.

He had intended to use the Great Saint Child’s name to intimidate Li Chang’an and demand his release.

But Li Chang’an’s expression and tone remained completely unchanged.

“Li Chang’an, you are not of the Demon Sects; you don’t know how formidable the Great Saint Child is! He killed a Core Formation Cultivator back when he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage!”

“Oh.”

Tired of his nonsense, Li Chang’an simply tossed him into the Venerable Soul Banner.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s resentful voice echoed from the depths of the Soul Banner.

“Li Fan, I’ll be waiting for you in the Venerable Soul Banner! One day, the Great Saint Child will kill you, and you’ll end up just like me—one of the countless souls trapped within!”

“GYAHAHA, so much nonsense! Let Grandpa Evil Soul teach you a lesson!”

The Evil Soul cackled sinisterly and lunged forward with a ferocious expression.

「Before long.」

The Five Poison Wanderer’s agonized screams began to echo from within the Soul Banner.

Li Chang’an paid it no mind, letting the Evil Soul do as it pleased.

He flicked his finger, sending out a strand of Sword Qi that sliced open the Five Poison Wanderer’s corpse.

’Quite a few Poisonous Insects.’

The Five Poison Wanderer’s flesh and blood were teeming with densely packed Poisonous Insects.

Among them were quite a few Tier Two Poisonous Insects.

The Ten Thousand Poison Gu immediately crawled out of his sleeve, its eyes shining as if it had just seen a delectable feast.

“Master, these Poisonous Insects are a tonic for me.”

“Eat them if you want. I don’t practice any Poison Refining Technique, so these Poisonous Insects are useless to me.”

“Thank you, Master!”
