Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Senluo Poisonous Domain, All Trees Turn to Ash (Mid-Endgame)

The embers of the collapsed Frost Gold Altar had not yet dissipated, and Lin Feng, holding Su Wan, crashed into the shrouded area of the Giant Wood Altar like a dying stream of fire. Behind him, the devastating flood of poison and lava guardians swept over the ruins of the Frost Gold Altar, carrying with them crushed metal debris and boiling poisonous smoke, relentlessly pursuing! Further away, on the tops of the four altars of Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth, the silhouettes of the four primordial infant shadows, condensed from pure elements and ancient grievances, were clearly visible! The Metal shadow was a giant sword spanning the heavens and earth, the Water shadow was a bottomless abyss surging up, the Fire shadow was a furnace that burned stars, and the Earth shadow was a sacred mountain that suppressed all ages! Although they had not fully materialized, their terrifying pressure that transcended realms was like four invisible mountains, crushing down hard on Lin Feng's nearly collapsed soul!

The environment of the Giant Tree Altar is distinctly different.

This place is no longer a barren rock, but a forcibly twisted **Senro Ancient Forest**! Countless **corrupted ancient trees** towering hundreds of feet high, with grotesque and monstrous forms, are intertwined, their branches twisted like ghostly claws, and their leaves exhibit a morbid dark green or deathly grayish-white. The air is filled with an unbearable, thick atmosphere of extreme contradiction between **life** and **death** - on one side is a surging, suffocating vitality, and on the other is a deep-seated, corrosive withering death that permeates everything! Countless thick, grayish-green vines, flowing with viscous **life** and **death** energy, squirm and entwine like giant pythons among the trees, emitting a dizzying sweetish-bloody scent.

The altar itself was constructed from countless **living, constantly wriggling and growing giant roots** and **ancient, grayish-white bones**. At the top stood a shadowy **entwined trunk, resembling the ancestral tree of countless trees**! Above the trunk, a bizarre chain shadow was entwined, consisting entirely of **emerald green living** vines and **grayish-white dead** silent bone spines! On the surface of the chain, countless ghostly shadows of living creatures were silently wailing, having been sucked dry and turned into skeletons by the vines. At the same time, it seemed as if countless newborn sprouts were struggling to sprout on the skeletons, repeating the cycle and emitting a nauseating pain of reincarnation!

**The sixth lock of the blood sacrifice - Senroshou Lock! **

Around the base of the altar, nine guardian stone sculptures with even more bizarre forms, as if fused from living trees and rotten corpses, emitted a heart-pounding, twisted vitality. One of them resembled a giant tree-human, with half of its body covered in lush foliage and the other half made up of dense white bones. The bark and bone armor on its body were writhing and peeling off crazily! A terrifying pressure, a blend of boundless vitality and strong death aura, surpassed the peak of Foundation Establishment realm, erupted suddenly, pressing straight towards the threshold of the Golden Core realm!

Guardian of the Forest Realms - **Ten Thousand Tree Demoness**, awake!

Its arm, made up of withered branches and skeletal claws, slowly lifted and pointed at the intruders, Lin Feng and Su Wan. An invisible domain power, embodying the dual laws of absorbing vitality and eroding death energy, instantly enveloped the entire altar area!

Lin Feng felt as if all his blood and vitality were flowing out of his body like a flood that had broken through its banks, uncontrollably! His skin quickly became dry and lost its luster, and his hair turned gray at a visible speed! At the same time, a cold and sinister aura of death crept in through his pores, eroding his already fragile meridians and internal organs! Under the dual erosion, the crack in the seed of true essence seemed to have widened slightly!

Even more terrifying is that the Guardian army chasing behind suddenly slowed down the moment they broke into this Netherworld Realm! The poisonous power on those Poison Guardians seemed to be neutralized and diluted by the vigorous vitality, while the fiery bodies of the Lava Guardians were eroded and cooled by the thick death aura! They let out a roar of rage and their attacks became sluggish and chaotic!

In this realm, it's an indiscriminate attack! Siphoning off vitality, spreading death and silence!

"Uh..." Su Wan, who was in his embrace, let out a long, soulful moan under the dual extremes of life and death. Her tightly closed eyelids trembled violently, and the black jade runes covering her collarbone suddenly emitted a deep, mysterious glow!

Hmph!

A deep, restrained, yet terrifying **poisonous field** that contained the power to destroy all life, silently spread out from Su Wan as the center! The poisonous field was not large, only covering her and Lin Feng's surroundings for a few dozen feet, but it was extremely condensed and domineering!

**Ten Thousand Poison Extinction Domain! **

"Chichi chichi——!"!

When the vitality-absorbing power of the Senro Realm collided with the corrupting power of deathly qi in the WanDu Extinction Domain, it was akin to pouring boiling oil into ice water! The verdant energy imbued with vitality was instantly tainted, withered, and annihilated by the virulent poison! The corrupting deathly qi met its nemesis, being reversely devoured and assimilated by the poisonous force that shattered vitality!

Su Wan's Poison Domain unexpectedly managed to carve out a small, absolutely silent, and pure land within this terrifying Senluo Realm! Lin Feng's dissipating vitality instantly ceased, and the death energy infiltrating his body was forcibly expelled and annihilated by the Poison Domain!

She slowly opened her eyes!

Those eyes were no longer clear or painful as before, but resembled the deepest cold pool, precipitating a jet-black luster, cold, calm, and containing a terrifying poisonous power capable of withering all things! Her gaze swept over Lin Feng's withered, gray cheeks and cracked body, and her jet-black pupils contracted slightly, a flash of icy, bone-chilling killing intent mixed with indescribable complex emotions.

"Put me down." Her voice was hoarse, yet carried an unmistakable calmness.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng immediately put her down. The moment her feet touched the ground, Su Wan's body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that she had just awakened and had not yet fully controlled her strength. However, the black jade runes on her collarbone glowed brightly, forcibly stabilizing her body. She didn't even glance at Lin Feng, her icy gaze directly fixed on the wriggling Senluo Life Lock at the top of the altar, and the Ten Thousand Wood Demon Grandmother who was slowly turning around, half of her tree face smiling kindly and half of her bone face roaring ferociously!

"Filthy... cycle..." Su Wan muttered to herself, with a trace of disgust stemming from her innate instincts. She raised her right hand and slowly opened her fingers towards the Samsara Life Lock.

"Hiss——! **

A suction force, even more domineering and precise than when she had devoured the enchanting poisonous mist before, erupted from the center of her palm! The target was not the entire chain, but the shadowy buds struggling to sprout on the withered bones attached to the chain! Those buds were the core nodes through which the Senro Life Lock maintained the cycle of life and death, absorbing and transforming vitality from the outside world!

"Roar!" The Ten Thousand Wood Demon Grandma let out an enraged roar! The smile on its half-tree face instantly twisted, transforming from kindness into tyranny! Its massive body suddenly trembled, and countless gray-green vines, entangled with both life and death energies, tore through the air like dancing poisonous dragons, carrying terrifying law powers and fiercely lashing at Su Wan! Wherever they passed, the space seemed to be whipped into ripples! At the same time, its bone claws grabbed the air, and an invisible force of life stripping acted directly on Su Wan, ignoring spatial distance!

The law attack of the Nascent Soul realm! Even if it's just a shadow close to the Golden Core realm, it's absolutely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can block!

"Be careful!" Lin Feng's pupils constricted, urging the nearly shattered essence energy seed to move forward and try to block the way!

However, Su Wan's movements were even faster! Or rather, her will had already merged with the Ten Thousand Poison Extinction Domain!

"Extinction." She uttered two words from her cold lips.

Hmph!

The Ten Thousand Poison Extinction Field enveloping his body suddenly contracted and condensed, transforming into a layer of **Poisonous Qi** that clung to his body surface and shimmered with a black jade luster! The life-stripping force, which ignored distance, crashed into the Poisonous Qi, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly eroded and disintegrated by the poisonous force that destroyed vitality!

At the same time, she suddenly clenched her five fingers together!

**Ten Thousand Poisons · Devouring Life! **

Puff! Puff! Puff!

As Sen Luo sheng locked the door, the struggling sprouts trapped within were pierced by invisible poison needles, instantly withering, turning black, and turning to dust! The core node on the chain that maintained the cycle of life and death was forcibly destroyed!

The entire Senluosheng Lock trembled violently, emitting painful cries! The emerald green vitality vines that formed the chain instantly dimmed and withered! The grayish-white deathly silent bone spines also lost their luster! The balance between life and death was broken, and the structure of the chain began to collapse!

The vine attack from the Wanmu Yao Lao just barely landed at this moment! But without the partial enhancement from the chain's power, its potency has already diminished!

Su Wan's eyes flashed with a dark jade glow, unwavering and unavoidable. With her left hand, she formed five fingers into a claw and grabbed the air towards the several giant vines that had been drawn out!

**Ten Thousand Poisons · Corrupt Heavenly Hand! **

Hmph!

A gigantic handprint, composed entirely of condensed and ultimate dark green poisonous energy, appeared out of thin air! Poisonous patterns flowed across the handprint, emitting a terrifying aura that could corrupt all living things and destroy vitality! It fiercely grabbed the vine that had been pulled out!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"!

Like a red-hot iron plunged into the snow! The tenacious vines, embodying both life and death, instantly turn gray, wilt, and decay under the terrifying poisonous power of the rotten sky and poisonous hands! The tough outer skin peels off like rotten mud, and the inner wooden fibers rapidly carbonize and disintegrate!

The Wandering Wood Demoness let out a shrill, mournful cry! The captured vines were like extensions of its limbs, and the poison rapidly surged up along the vines! Half of its trunk quickly turned black and withered, and countless leaves rustled down, turning into flying ash!

"Now is the time! Order of the Commander!" Lin Feng shouted fiercely! He knew that Su Wan's burst of energy wouldn't last long, so he had to strike decisively!

In the sea of knowledge, the commander's order has long been ready to be unleashed! At the moment when the Senrosheng Lock node is breached and the structure collapses, the dark gold, red gold, pale white, and dark green lights on the token intertwine, and a commander's will that commands all things and destroys all laws, mixed with the sharpness of Gengjin, the explosion of lava, the killing aura of ice and thunder, and the decay of deadly poison, turns into an extremely condensed four-colored flood, fiercely striking at the most vulnerable fracture point of the Senrosheng Lock!

**Army Commander · Break Formation! **

Boom!!!

The already collapsing Senro Seal, under the ultimate strike of the Warlord's Order, which gathered the power of the previous five seals, collapsed and disintegrated like a camel crushed by the last straw! Countless withered vines and grayish-white bone spines scattered like a rainstorm!

The sixth Dao of Sun Luo Sheng Lock, broken!

Boom!

The giant tree altar shook wildly! The shadow of the Ten Thousand Wood Demon Grandmother let out a mournful howl filled with reluctance and malice. Half of its tree trunk turned into coke, while the other half of its skeletal body shattered inch by inch. Its massive body collapsed with a loud boom, merging into the wriggling root altar below and turning into a fetid, rotten swamp!

Hmph!

The commander's order shines brilliantly! A vast and pure gray-green flood, composed of boundless vitality and withering, deathly silence, and resentment, surges out and is frantically devoured by the token! On the token, the dark green vine patterns instantly become clear and vivid, as if they have gained life, blending harmoniously with the other four colors! A more harmonious and domineering aura spreads out!

On the fragmented map, the sixth chain pattern, shattered!

"Let's go!" Lin Feng grabbed Su Wan, who was slightly out of breath from the burst of energy and even paler than before. Without any lingering sentiment, he didn't even have time to feel the change in the Order of the Armament Master. The guidance of the Order of the Armament Master was like a red-hot iron, pointing relentlessly towards the next lava altar that emitted a **burning and annihilating aura**!

The two transformed into two streaks of light and rushed out of the collapsing and decaying giant wooden altar!

However, at the moment they broke out

"Ants! How dare you repeatedly violate the heavenly might! Leave your lives behind!" A roar that seemed to come from the Netherworld, containing endless lava fury and the will to burn, exploded like a world-ending thunderbolt over the Blood Sea Plain!

At the top of the Lava Altar, the Nascent Soul shadow, composed of a furnace capable of burning stars, had already solidified completely! It stood a hundred feet tall, its entire body made of flowing dark gold magma, and its mouth spewed incandescent flames that could burn anything! The shadow's huge furnace arm raised and fiercely clenched towards the direction where Lin Feng and Su Wan had fled!

**Burning Realm·Melt Heaven Hand! **

Boom!

A towering giant hand, entirely composed of incandescent destructive lava, instantly appeared above Lin Feng and Su Wan, disregarding spatial distance! Before the giant hand even arrived, the terrifying heat that could incinerate everything had already evaporated the sea of blood below, distorting space! An irresistible, absolute law-enforcing imprisonment force, belonging to the Nascent Soul stage, firmly locked the two individuals in place, rendering them unable to move!

The shadow of true death descended so clearly for the first time! An enraged strike from an Nascent Soul being!

Lin Feng's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and the essence seed in his dantian, which was on the verge of breaking, trembled wildly, attempting to burn its last source! Su Wan's jade-like pupils also burst with a resolute light, and the poisonous qi around her seethed. The Ten Thousand Poison Silence Domain contracted to its extreme, ready to withstand the attack!

But everyone knows that it's futile! The gap between the Nascent Soul realm and the Foundation Establishment realm is like a natural moat!

At this critical moment, when the giant hand of the molten sky was about to descend, incinerating the two people and the sea of blood below into nothingness

Buzz—! Buzz—! Buzz—!

At the tops of the other three altars, the three primordial infant shadows of metal, water, and earth also erupted with earth-shattering roars! They seemed unable to tolerate the lava shadow taking the initiative!

The shadow of a golden giant sword slashed through the air! A dark golden sword qi, which tore through heaven and earth and shattered laws, arrived later but struck first, fiercely slashing towards the giant hand of the Molten Heaven that was grasping towards Lin Feng!

The shadow of the water abyss surged, and a river of dark and heavy water, capable of freezing souls and annihilating everything, appeared out of thin air and tangled around the molten giant hand!

The shadow of the Earth God Mountain suddenly trembled, and a heavy, earthy-yellow gravitational field, powerful enough to collapse the ages, descended, enveloping the Lava Giant Hand and Lin Feng Su Wan below!

Four infant-level shadow figures, due to a dispute over "prey" or some unknown rule conflict, at the last moment... **fell into internal strife**!

Boom——!!!!!!!

An indescribable, earth-shattering explosion erupted over the Blood Sea Plain! Dark golden sword qi, incandescent lava, dark and mysterious heavy water, and earthy yellow gravity... four Nascent Soul-level forces representing the fundamental laws of heaven and earth collided fiercely!

The dazzling light instantly engulfed the entire core of the Blood-Crying Valley! A violent energy surge swept through like a world-ending storm! Countless dark fissures were torn in space! The sea of blood below was instantly evaporated, revealing a pitch-black seabed! Nine blood rivers of mountains twisted and coiled wildly! The solid giant chains wrapped around the Armament-Casting Platform trembled frantically, and the dark golden runes flickered incessantly!

Lin Feng and Su Wan, like two leaves in a raging sea, were violently swept away by this devastating energy storm! Their protective essence and poisonous qi instantly shattered! Lin Feng felt as if he had been crushed by countless mountains, spewing out blood mixed with visceral fragments as his consciousness plunged into darkness! Su Wan's black jade poisonous qi also fluctuated violently, with dark green blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She forcibly maintained a glimmer of consciousness, desperately clinging to the unconscious Lin Feng!

Like two meteors out of control, they were swept up by the destructive storm and slammed fiercely into their next target - the lava altar formed by the **Star Burning Furnace**!
