The thick, fetid, and poisonous fog, with a strong stench of decaying vegetation and intense toxicity, engulfed Lin Feng and Su Wan like a living entity. The moment they stepped into the swamp of ten thousand poisons, their vision was compressed to less than three feet, and their spiritual senses felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire, being frantically eroded by countless malicious and tiny thoughts. The ground beneath their feet was no longer solid earth or ice, but a bottomless, bubbling, blackish-green **corrupted poisonous swamp**! With every step, a terrifying suction force was felt, as if countless slippery hands were pulling at their ankles, trying to drag them into the abyss.
The air felt as heavy as if filled with lead, and every breath brought a burning pain. The highly toxic miasma ignored the protective essence energy and frantically eroded the lungs and meridians. The dim three-colored essence energy shield on Lin Feng's body surface fluctuated violently, emitting a "sizzling" sound of corrosion. The newly fused lightning power had little effect on suppressing the miasma, and the lava characteristics were further suppressed by the damp and gloomy environment.
"Uh..." Su Wan, who was carried on her back, let out a painful groan as her body twitched slightly. This omnipresent poisonous miasma was like billions of poisonous needles, stimulating her already fragile body. However, the dark red rune on her collarbone slightly glowed in the thick poisonous mist, emitting a strange and faintly suctioning wave. A tiny bit of extremely weak and pure poisonous energy from the surrounding poisonous miasma was actually drawn by the rune and slowly integrated into it. The rune itself seemed to faintly emit a subtle greenish luster that was not easily noticeable.
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. Su Wan's bloodline was indeed evolving towards adapting to, and even controlling, toxicity! But this process was evidently extremely painful and perilous. Her aura became even more chaotic as the poisonous miasma eroded her and the runes were absorbed.
Behind them, the terrifying roars and energy collisions emanating from the edge of the Ice Thunder Absolute Region were clearly audible. The roars of the Lava Guardians intertwined with the shouts and spell bursts of Su Chen's forces, indicating a fierce conflict had erupted at the entrance! The terrifying aura of the eight Lava Behemoths lingered like blazing torches at the edge of the poisonous swamp. The fiery power of the lava clashed with the cold, damp, and poisonous swamp environment, forming a natural barrier that temporarily halted their advance. However, the aura of those human cultivators, especially the one holding the compass and the cold cultivator, was like maggots in the bones, penetrating the poisonous swamp at an astonishing speed and locking onto Lin Feng's escape direction!
"Anonymity Jade Talisman!" Lin Feng instantly recalled the gift given by Shopkeeper Zhang and without hesitation, he thrust it into Su Wan's hand, whispering, "Activate! Hide!"
In her coma, Su Wan instinctively clenched the jade talisman, and a faint gray halo instantly enveloped her entire body, completely masking her weakened aura. Lin Feng forcefully summoned a mouthful of true essence and suppressed his own aura to the lowest level. Carrying Su Wan on his back, he moved like a ghost merging into the poisonous miasma, trudging through the rotten poisonous swamp in the direction indicated by the Commander's Order and the fragments.
The Order of the Warrior God hangs in the Sea of Consciousness, emitting warm shades of dark gold, red gold, and pale white, vigorously dispelling the poisonous miasma and evil thoughts that have invaded the Sea of Consciousness. It clearly points to the core area of twisted vine symbols deep in the swamp - where the altar of the fourth lock of blood sacrifice is located. On the fragmented map, the vine symbols representing the poisonous swamp squirm like living things, emitting a heart-pounding green glow.
The mud beneath my feet grew deeper and the suction force stronger. The dark green poisonous water rose above my calves, bringing a piercing chill and a strong corrosive sensation, while the consumption of protective true essence intensified. Even more terrifying was the eerie "rustling" sound that began to emanate from the dense poisonous miasma around me, as if countless things were swimming in the mud and crawling among the vines.
Suddenly!
"Chichi chichi——!"!
Several dark green, viscous, asphalt-like arrows of venom shot out from the thick fog on the left side without warning, carrying a pungent stench and heading straight for Lin Feng's face!
Lin Feng's eyes turned cold, and his body suddenly lurched to one side. The venom arrow flew past, grazing his cloak, and landed in the swamp, instantly corroding a boiling patch of dark green bubbles! At the same time, with his right hand, he pointed two fingers, and a condensed "Thunderbolt Finger" with a pale electric glow shot ahead, piercing into the depths of the thick fog where the venom arrow had come from!
"Sss-!" A sharp, painful hissing sound echoed, and a violent agitation occurred in the thick fog. Vaguely visible, the outline of a giant python, as thick as a water barrel and covered in dark green scales, twisted and sank into the mud.
However, the attacks did not stop!
From the dense "canopy" of vines intertwined in dark purple overhead, countless fist-sized, colorful poisonous spiders rained down like raindrops! Their mandibles opened and closed, spewing out sticky poisonous webs, while their tails shot out poisonous needles as thin as ox hairs, glowing with a faint blue chill!
In the surging mud beneath his feet, countless venomous insects, resembling giant leeches with sharp mouthparts, emerged and clung to Lin Feng's protective true essence, voraciously gnawing away!
From all directions, venomous insects and creatures surged like a tide! This swamp of ten thousand poisons is itself a living, malevolent hell!
"Humph!" Lin Feng gave a cold snort, and the three-colored essence energy seed, riddled with cracks in his dantian, spun wildly! He no longer stinted on essence energy, and the protective shield on his body shone brightly, with dark gold runes circulating, red gold lava flames rising, and pale electric light dancing!
**Hell Suppression · Furnace Barrier · Three-Color Rotation! **
"Chichi chichi——!"!
Poisonous nets, needles, and insects crashed into the shield, instantly incinerated by the lava flames, annihilated by the power of thunder, and decomposed and obliterated by the power of the Origin! The intertwined flow of three-colored light formed a temporary yet sturdy barrier, temporarily blocking the poisonous tide!
But Lin Feng could clearly feel the essence energy pouring out like a flood! The consumption in this poisonous marsh was far greater than in any previous location! He must find the altar as soon as possible!
With the light emitted by the shield, Lin Feng could see clearly ahead. A relatively "dry" "land" formed by countless huge, twisted **corrupted poisonous vines** appeared in his field of vision. The vines were as thick as giant pythons, covered with sticky dark green moss, and constantly secreting foul-smelling venom. Between the vines, a **Ten Thousand Poison Altar** made of pale beast bones and dark green jade could be faintly seen!
At the top of the altar, there was no pillar, but the shadow of a twisted, poisonous ancient tree that emitted a dark green glow! On the twisted branches of the ancient tree, there were nine shadowy chains made entirely of dark green poisonous vines and colorful poisonous mist! One of the shadowy chains was slowly wriggling like a living creature, and countless shadowy images of struggling poisonous insects and beasts emerged on its surface, emitting a nauseating sweetness and a numbing sensation that penetrated to the bone!
**The fourth lock of blood sacrifice - the Wandeng Poison Lock! **
On the edge of the "land" dominated by the rotten poisonous vines, nine guardian stone statues with even more bizarre forms, as if pieced together from poisonous fungi, rotten wood, and venomous insect shells, emitted a dizzying stench. One of the statues, shaped like a giant poisonous scorpion but with a tail blooming with a seductive poisonous flower, had dark green moss on its surface wriggling and peeling off crazily!
The Guardian is about to awaken!
What made Lin Feng's heart sink even more was that he sensed that not far behind him, two breaths full of killing intent and greed had penetrated the poisonous swamp and were rapidly approaching! It was the cultivator holding the compass and Su Chen's trusted subordinate with a sinister aura! They seemed to have used some kind of poison-avoiding magical artifact, and were moving through the poisonous swamp at an extremely fast speed!
Pursuers behind, guardians ahead, venomous insects surrounding, essence energy depleted!
"I've found you, little mouse!" the sinister voice of the compass cultivator penetrated the poisonous miasma, mockingly saying, "Hand over the fragment and that woman, and I'll leave you whole!"
"Don't waste words with him! Kill!" The sinister cultivator's voice was like a venomous snake striking out its tongue, and a condensed, black claw shadow with a foul wind tore through the poisonous miasma, grabbing at Lin Feng's back first!
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light! He abruptly turned around, no longer holding back, and poured most of his remaining true essence into his left hand! Three colors of light frantically compressed and collided in the palm of his hand!
**Zhenyu·Guixu Furnace·Embers! **
Boom!
A miniature furnace, no larger than a washbasin, condensed to its utmost perfection, with a vermilion flame burning at its edge, a pale electric arc pulsing within, and a dark golden rune circulating at its core, suddenly materialized! Impelled by a fierce will to annihilate all and reduce everything to dust, it fiercely collided with the shadow of the black claw!
Hmph!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a piercing sound akin to a hot iron plunging into water! The moment the black claw shadow touched the silhouette of the furnace, it melted like ice and snow, and the contained potent poison and cold spiritual energy were frantically decomposed and annihilated by the power of the Origin Deity! The silhouette of the furnace continued its momentum, fiercely colliding with the cultivator who followed closely behind the claw shadow, holding a compass and wearing a sinister smile on his face!
"What?!" The cultivator Luopan's face changed drastically. He never expected Lin Feng, who was seriously injured, to unleash such a terrifying counterattack! He hurriedly raised the compass in his hand to block it!
Dang——!!!
The piercing clash of metal rang out! The compass emitted a dazzling glow, barely blocking the shadow of the furnace! But the annihilating power of the Origin Destruction and the destructive power of lightning contained within it erupted instantly!
Click!
A clear crack appeared on the surface of the compass! Violent power poured into the cultivator's body through the compass!
"Puff!" The cultivator Luo Pan was hit hard, blood spurting wildly as his body flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, crashing hard into the rotten poisonous swamp behind him, splashing up a large area of dark green poisonous waves! His life and death were unknown!
"You're courting death!" The sinister cultivator was both surprised and furious. He never expected his companion to be severely injured at the first encounter! He approached like a ghost, his palms turning black and shiny, carrying a strong stench of blood. His palms created a sky of shadows, each palm aimed straight at Lin Feng's vital points! Wherever the palm wind passed, even the poisonous miasma was corroded, sizzling audibly!
Lin Feng forcibly activated the furnace barrier to resist, but his true essence was nearly depleted. The three-colored shield flickered violently, and danger was imminent! Even more ominously, in the direction of the altar, the guardian of the poisonous scorpion and poisonous flower had fully awakened! It let out a sharp hiss, and its scorpion body covered with dark green carapace suddenly sprang up. The妖艳的毒花 on its tail suddenly bloomed, spewing out a thick, solid, colorful **seductive poisonous mist** that instantly enveloped the area where Lin Feng was located!
This poisonous mist not only contains intense toxicity but also exudes a powerful hallucinogenic effect! Lin Feng felt the scene before his eyes instantly distort, as countless enchanting shadows, mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and even the dying visions of Su Wan frantically assaulted his consciousness! His mind was violently shaken, and his protective essence energy nearly dissipated!
The Yin-Cold cultivator's poisonous palm seized the opportunity to breach the defense and fiercely slammed into Lin Feng's chest!
Beset by both internal and external troubles! Inner demons proliferating! Essence energy depleted! A hopeless situation within a hopeless situation!
At this critical moment——
"Buzz——!"
In the instant when the enchanting poisonous mist enveloped Su Wan on Lin Feng's back, the dark red runes on her collarbone suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented, deep, and somber green glow! This glow seemed to possess a life of its own, instantly dispersing the poisonous mist that had invaded her body and forming a tough, somber green light membrane to protect her!
Even more astonishing was that she unconsciously raised her right hand, facing the suffocating poisonous mist of colorful delusion that was spreading around, with her fingers spread out in a futile gesture!
**Hiss——! **
An invisible, domineering suction force, originating from deep within her veins and capable of controlling all poisons, suddenly erupted from the palm of her hand!
The enchanting poisonous mist, so dense and tangible that even foundation-building cultivators could get lost in it, surged towards Su Wan's palm like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, and was greedily devoured and absorbed by the dark green glow emanating from her palm!
The enchanting poisonous fog was instantly cleared away! The illusions in Lin Feng's mind receded like a tide, and his mind was instantly clear!
After inhaling a large amount of enchanting poisonous mist, Su Wan remained unconscious, but the painful expression on her face strangely eased a lot, and even revealed a strange glow of health. The runes on her collarbone glowed with a bright green light, as if they had been fed and become more profound and mysterious!
"What the hell is this?!" The sinister cultivator's poisonous palm was momentarily stilled by this sudden turn of events, his face filled with disbelief!
Lin Feng would not let go of this excellent opportunity created by Su Wan's instinct! His eyes sparkled with brilliance, and taking advantage of the moment when the other party's mind was distracted, he ignored the severe pain of his meridians about to rupture, and condensed the last trace of his true essence, along with some of the military and evil qi accumulated in the military commander's order, into his right fist!
The target was not the sinister cultivator, but the guardian of the poisonous scorpion and poisonous flower, who had just pounced forward and was momentarily dazed by the engulfing poisonous mist!
**Hell Suppression, Mountain Collapse, Remaining Strength! **
Boom!
The unpretentious yet powerful punch, which condensed Lin Feng's last strength, ruthlessly struck the relatively vulnerable joint where the scorpion body connected to the venomous flowers on the tail of the Scorpion Guardian!
Click!
A crunching sound of bone fracture echoed! The poisonous scorpion guardian let out a mournful hiss, and its huge body was knocked off balance! The seductive poisonous flower on its tail swayed violently, and its light instantly dimmed!
"Bastard!" The sinister and cold cultivator reacted, both alarmed and furious. His black poisonous palm struck Lin Feng's back again, determined to kill him with one palm!
However, just as his palm was about to touch Lin Feng's vest
"Sssssshhh——!!!"
The entire "land" dominated by the rotten poisonous vines seemed to come alive! Countless thick, sticky poisonous vines, like enraged giant pythons, frantically emerged from all directions! Their target was not Lin Feng, but the sinister cultivator who exuded a strong aura of a stranger and had attacked the guardian!
The Yin Cold Cultivator's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly retracted his palm to defend himself. Dark palm shadows flitted about, smashing several incoming demon vines to pieces! However, the number of demon vines was overwhelmingly large, covering the sky and the ground! What was even more terrifying was that the broken ends of the smashed demon vines sprayed out dark green venom, emitting a strong fishy-sweet scent that made his head spin!
"Uh!" He let out a muffled groan, and his movements instantly slowed down!
Puff! Puff!
Several tough magic vines, like poisonous spears, instantly pierced through his protective spiritual energy and fiercely penetrated his body! The terrifying poison and the power to suck flesh and blood were frantically injected!
"No!" the Yin Leng cultivator let out a despairing howl as his body withered visibly, his skin rapidly turning dark green. In a blink of an eye, he was entangled and devoured by countless demon vines, transforming into a dried corpse hanging from the vines!
The will of the Swamp of Ten Thousand Poisons bared its fangs to the intruder the moment the guardian was injured!
Without even glancing at the enemy who had instantly died, Lin Feng endured the dizziness and exhaustion, and took advantage of the gap between the magic vines attacking the Yin Leng cultivator and the poisonous scorpion guardian being injured and unstable, carrying Su Wan who was still devouring the remaining poisonous mist on his back. With his last strength, he suddenly rushed up to the Ten Thousand Poison Altar made of pale beast bones and dark green jade!
The moment one stepped onto the altar, an invisible barrier rose, temporarily isolating the frenziedly dancing magic vines and the angry hissing of the poisonous scorpion guardians below!
At the top of the altar, the twisted shadow of a highly poisonous ancient tree loomed close, with the vines of poisonous locks entwining around it, slowly wriggling like the tentacles of a living creature, locking onto the intruder. On the surface of the chains, countless shadows of poisonous insects and beasts struggled in pain, emitting a suffocating aura of resentment.
