Chapter 606: Chapter 526:

"Su Yuan, don’t!"

Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan saw the situation and instinctively rushed towards Su Yuan, but were firmly held back by Wu Luo True Monarch.

Su Yuan turned his head, looking at the two young women with tears streaming down their eyes, and smiled gently:

"Live well, don’t feel sad for me, and... if you want to blame someone, blame Elder Ah Nong."

Qi Anong: "???"

No, it was clearly Wan Chenxin who forced you to death, why blame me?

Su Yuan: "If she hadn’t before battle insisted on setting the flag that after this war ends, we’d get married, perhaps I wouldn’t have died."

Qi Anong suddenly became anxious.

"Su Yuan, can’t you say some other last words? What if Nuoyi and Hanyan truly resent me?"

Su Yuan smiled, about to say something, but found himself unable to speak.

Because his throat had been penetrated by poison.

Wisps of pitch-black poisonous mist flowed from his throat, only to be forcibly suppressed back by Su Yuan, preventing it from harming others in the hall.

He turned back, looking at Wan Chenxin.

Surprisingly, Wan Chenxin’s face was also marked with tears, as if bidding farewell to a child about to pass.

Su Yuan gently grabbed Wan Chenxin’s arm, as if born from a fear of death, instinctively clinging to everything around him.

Wan Chenxin didn’t avoid him. She sat on a step in the hall, laid Su Yuan flat on her legs, silently watching as his body was corroded by the poisonous mist until it was riddled with holes.

Only a few breaths later, Su Yuan’s chest and stomach were pierced, and the whole person transformed into an empty shell.

Soon, even this empty shell would be completely eroded by the poisonous mist.

Su Yuan’s life seemed about to come to an end.

"Rest peacefully, Su Yuan, I will take care of the Blue Star civilization and your lovers, you need not worry."

Wan Chenxin spoke sincerely, extending her hand to Su Yuan’s face, intending to close his unseeing eyes.

As Wan Chenxin’s warm and tender hand passed over, Su Yuan’s eyelids slowly closed.

Then in the next second, Su Yuan’s eyes abruptly opened, like a fish gasping for air, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"This..."

Wan Chenxin was slightly bewildered.

Then, Su Yuan opened his mouth and spat out a complete Fallen God Pill before her eyes, which exploded instantly.

The pitch-black poisonous mist swiftly enveloped her and Su Yuan, transforming their surroundings into a death zone impenetrable to the living.

Zap——

The sound of flesh being severely corroded emanated from the black mist.

Soon after, a figure shot out from within, it was Su Yuan, whose body had been disfigured by the Fallen God Pill’s poison.

However, at the moment, his body cleared of all internal and external toxins, he was rapidly recovering thanks to the power of the Corrupted Nascent Soul.

At the same time, the shadow beneath Su Yuan’s feet suddenly came to life, from which a figure emerged.

No other than the Spirit Medicine Fairy.

As one of Su Yuan’s protectors, she was hidden by Su Yuan before Wan Chenxin entered the hall, specifically to trick Wan Chenxin at a crucial moment.

In his second interaction with Wan Chenxin, Su Yuan never mentioned his knowledge of Abyssal Shadow.

Wan Chenxin naturally didn’t anticipate that the Spirit Medicine Fairy, whom Su Yuan had slain, would exist in the world in the form of Abyssal Shadow and aid Su Yuan as an ally.

Upon witnessing Wan Chenxin’s battle with four Divinity Transformation Cultivators, Su Yuan realized that this woman was truly a saint.

Even if a saint harbored deep hatred, highly unlikely they’d kill with their own hands; they were more likely to ask others to take their own life.

And that’s exactly what transpired.

But deceiving Wan Chenxin was no easy feat; any typical feigned death method would be easily seen through by her.

Thus, Su Yuan began guiding her, steering the conversation towards self-inflicted methods involving the Fallen God Pill.

Even if not using the Fallen God Pill, any other toxin would suffice.

Because provided the suggested self-infliction method pertained to poison, he could instantly refine the internal toxins back into an elixir through the full-level Demon Technique·Finger Spirit.

However, all of this hinged on Wan Chenxin’s ignorance of Spirit Medicine Fairy’s betrayal.

Had she known of Spirit Medicine Fairy’s defection beforehand, she wouldn’t resort to using Poison Pills like the Fallen God Pill to force Su Yuan’s hand.

Ultimately, Su Yuan successfully deceived her, striking with the Fallen God Pill on her person at her most vulnerable moment.

Wan Chenxin had previously acknowledged out loud the Fallen God Pill’s lethality, admitting it could kill even her, rendering even the Power of the Muddy World ineffective for rescue.

Su Yuan swiftly retreated to the side of Star River Celestial Monarch and the others, glaring at the figure enshrouded by the poisonous mist.

Despite the grandiose claims regarding the Fallen God Pill’s effects, Su Yuan wasn’t particularly convinced by it.

A seasoned monster like Wan Chenxin might not be lacking antidotal means.

Thus, Su Yuan’s goal was simple: severely injure Wan Chenxin, enabling his own Divinity Transformation Cultivators to continue holding her off.

Moments later, movements stirred within the poisonous mist.

The pitch-black mist began dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye... no, not dissipating, but absorbed by the figure within the mist.

In the blink of an eye, the poisonous mist of the Fallen God Pill was thoroughly inhaled by Wan Chenxin, without a trace leaking outward.

Su Yuan’s expression shifted drastically.

Did he consume a Fake Pill? Was it truly completely ineffectual?

Under Su Yuan’s startled gaze, Wan Chenxin smiled and said:

"Rest assured, the Fallen God Pill has taken effect."

"The reason I devoured all the poisonous mist was to prevent harm to others present here."

She gazed at Su Yuan with an expression mixed between helplessness and affection, as if he were a rebellious child:

"Why can’t you just be compliant? Clearly, under my arrangements, you could die without any suffering."

"Yet, if you don’t heed my advice, you’ll be facing the harsh Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity next, a stern figure who will employ all conceivable and inconceivable methods to torment you."

Su Yuan remained undeterred, merely stating:

"Elder Wan, it’s time you leave the world to us young ones."

"Better than being confined by elders till annihilation, we’d rather venture out however uncertain the peril might be outside."

"It seems you haven’t taken my words to heart at all."

Wan Chenxin shook her head, exasperated.

"Alright, I won’t concern myself any longer, go ahead and challenge the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity if that’s your wish."

"But be prepared, ready to face foes ten times stronger than me."

Su Yuan nodded solemnly, then asked with slight trepidation:

"So... are you going to die?"

Wan Chenxin was momentarily taken aback before bursting into cheerful laughter:

"Die? Silly child, why would you think I’d die?"

"Having lived through eight epochs, a solitary Fallen God Pill is nothing to me, even if consumed as candy beans, I’d be fine."

"Not meddling with you is just a reward for a child who passed their mother’s test, perhaps due to too much doting."
