Isaac Ding had no idea when this second type of poison had invaded his body, nor did he know what kind of poison it was. It was colorless and tasteless, yet it had a hypnotic effect, making his eyelids heavy and a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
“What a terrifying hypnotic poison! I almost fell for it without realizing. I didn’t expect this kid to have such tricks up his sleeve!”
Cold sweat broke out on Isaac Ding’s forehead as he hurriedly took out several corresponding herbs from his body and hastily concocted an antidote powder to swallow.
However, he quickly discovered that Terra Su’s poison was exceptionally domineering. The antidote powder he had concocted had no effect whatsoever.
This is bad!
Isaac Ding’s back was drenched in cold sweat, and his consciousness grew increasingly fuzzy. A sense of crisis surged in his heart, even a faint trace of fear flashed through his mind.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the rules of the poison duel. He directly took out several elixirs to refresh himself and swallowed them continuously. This was technically against the rules of the poison duel, but he couldn’t worry about that now; he just needed to suppress the drowsiness.
Just as Isaac Ding was sweating profusely, fighting against Terra Su’s poison, the time of a stick of incense finally passed.
Isaac Ding, as if granted amnesty, quickly jumped out of Terra Su’s poison trap, his figure instantly shooting three meters away. He sat cross-legged, trying to expel the poison from his body.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the poison’s onset was only delayed, and it was getting closer to fully manifesting.
Isaac Ding jumped up in frustration and walked directly into his own trap. He needed to find Terra Su and search him for an antidote. After all, Terra Su had already been poisoned by him and lost his senses, so he was at his mercy.
But just as Isaac Ding stepped into the poison trap, Terra Su suddenly opened his eyes, a mocking smile tugging at his lips. “Isaac Ding, what are you doing?”
What?
Isaac Ding’s foot froze in mid-air, and he looked at Terra Su in disbelief.
What’s going on? This kid wasn’t poisoned?
Terra Su looked refreshed, as if he had just had a good nap. There was no sign of poisoning at all.
Terra Su even mocked him with a smile, “Is this the so-called Thousand-Handed Poison Lord’s skill? What kind of low-quality poison is this, meant to kill insects? I didn’t feel the slightest threat; it just gave me a nice nap. I think you should change your name to Thousand-Handed Useless.”
Isaac Ding’s face turned beet red. How could he not understand that Terra Su was mocking him? This was a blatant slap in the face.
Aren’t you the so-called Thousand-Handed Poison Lord? Weren’t you going to play with poison?
In the end, the other party was completely fine, not even a hair harmed, and even took a nap.
Isaac Ding felt as if countless hot slaps were landing on his face.
“You brat, I’ll kill you!”
Isaac Ding, his face twisted with rage, lunged at Terra Su. Even if he died, he had to take Terra Su down with him.
Terra Su watched Isaac Ding, who looked like a mad tiger, with calm indifference. He had long seen through Isaac Ding’s shallow cultivation. The so-called fifth level of the Condensing Origin Realm was entirely built up by consuming elixirs, and his actual combat strength was far from the standard of a true fifth level Condensing Origin Realm practitioner.
Moreover, Isaac Ding had been poisoned by Terra Su’s concoction, so there was no need for him to lift a finger. Isaac Ding was already close to his death.
Terra Su’s poison was such that the more True Essence one used, the faster one would die.
Isaac Ding’s eyes were bloodshot as he launched several attacks at Terra Su, but they all missed. He had never been diligent in his Martial Dao practice, and not only was his cultivation shallow, but the martial techniques he practiced were also mediocre. In such a situation, he couldn’t display the combat strength of a fifth level Condensing Origin Realm practitioner.
Soon, the poison in Isaac Ding’s body fully activated, and he collapsed like a swollen purple eggplant, dying with deep resentment.
Without lifting a finger, Terra Su had easily dealt with Isaac Ding. He glanced indifferently at Isaac Ding’s corpse, but his eyes flickered as if he had discovered something.
Terra Su reached into Isaac Ding’s clothes and pulled out a plump, white worm.
The worm wriggled desperately in Terra Su’s hand, spewing some green liquid. However, Terra Su was prepared and quickly took out a silk pouch, tossing the worm inside.
“This is a Wood Poison Gu. No wonder Isaac Ding’s poisoning skills were so strong; he was raising a poison Gu.”
Terra Su looked at the worm wriggling desperately in the pouch with a hint of surprise. This type of Gu worm could continuously secrete poisonous liquid, which, when mixed with other materials, could create various poisons. It was a favorite pet among poison masters.
Of course, raising a Gu worm came at a cost. The host had to feed the Gu worm with their blood daily to keep it active.
No wonder Isaac Ding looked pale and weak; it must have been due to raising this Gu worm.
“But now, this Gu worm is mine.”
A gleam of light flashed in Terra Su’s eyes as he grabbed the struggling worm from the pouch and began to circulate the Chaotic Immortal Records technique, extracting the life essence from the Gu worm and absorbing it into his body.
He did this because the Wood Poison Gu worm’s life essence contained the cultivation essence of its host’s lifetime. For a Martial Practitioner, this essence was an excellent nutrient, equivalent to a natural rare treasure. Absorbing it could directly enhance one’s cultivation level without any side effects.
Moreover, with the Chaotic Immortal Records, Terra Su could absorb this life essence with 100% efficiency, without wasting a single drop.
As the Gu worm’s life essence entered his body, it was instantly converted into a large amount of pure Spiritual Qi under the effect of the Chaotic Immortal Records!
With this massive influx of Spiritual Qi, Terra Su’s cultivation level began to soar!
Early stage of the third level of the Condensing Origin Realm, mid-stage, late stage, peak!
The speed was astonishing!
When he reached the peak of the third level of the Condensing Origin Realm, there was still a large surplus of Spiritual Qi. Naturally, Terra Su began to condense his fourth Five Elements True Essence Core!
Soon, a faint five-colored light appeared on Terra Su’s body, and the fourth Five Elements True Essence Core in his Dantian was formed!
Fourth level of the Condensing Origin Realm!
“Unexpectedly, I broke through to the fourth level of the Condensing Origin Realm at this opportunity.”
Because the Five Elements True Essence Core required several times more resources than usual to advance, Terra Su had not anticipated reaching the fourth level of the Condensing Origin Realm so quickly. But unexpectedly, it came so easily.
But it made sense. The Wood Poison Gu worm contained the life essence of Isaac Ding’s entire cultivation. If absorbing all of it didn’t allow him to advance to the fourth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, Terra Su might as well find a piece of tofu to bash his head against.
