Chapter 420 The Great Battle of Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Dao (2)
Driven mad with jealousy, Wu Xuemei unleashed all sorts of demonic arts to their limits, even burning a portion of her own essence as she frantically attacked the Nine Dragons Fire Formation and the Trapping Formation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Crack!"
Under Wu Xuemei's relentless and frenzied attacks, the demonic energy and the fiery energy intertwined and annihilated each other, producing a deafening explosion that caused the entire fifth step to tremble violently.
With a deafening roar, Wu Xuemei finally broke through the two great formations!
"puff!"
Wu Xuemei also coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the backlash from the power, and her aura weakened considerably.
But when she rushed out of the formation, wanting to devour the power of the Heavenly Dao on the fifth step, she was devastated to find that the pure white energy, which was originally as thick as liquid, had now become thin and transparent, just like the first and second steps, with only two or three tenths of the energy remaining!
"She drained me dry again?!"
Wu Xuemei was both shocked and furious, and a chill of disbelief welled up in her heart.
Shen Rugo is only at the Qi Refining stage, so how could she have continuously drawn and refined nearly three levels of Heavenly Dao power, yet still failed to establish her foundation?
This completely overturned her understanding!
If it were her, with such a massive amount of Heavenly Dao power, she would probably have already condensed a Golden Core, or even directly broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!
Intense jealousy and shock nearly drove her to madness.
But she was no fool. After being blocked by the formation three times in a row and suffering greatly, she knew that she could no longer be led by the nose by Shen Rugo.
He forcefully suppressed his surging blood and qi, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
This time, instead of trying to rush to the higher sixth or seventh steps, she suddenly turned around, faced Shen Rugo who was coldly watching her, and spat out a mouthful of water!
A streak of dark light shot out, moving at an astonishing speed!
That wasn't a demonic attack, but a bead the size of a longan, completely black, with strange holes all over its surface—the Myriad Poison Bead!
This is a rare treasure she obtained in the western region of the secret realm, containing a terrifyingly potent poison!
Shen Rugo had been wary of Wu Xuemei's direct attacks, but she never expected that Wu Xuemei would suddenly use such a vicious and insidious weapon.
Sensing the chillingly poisonous aura emanating from the bead, her expression changed slightly. Without a second thought, she threw out a Vajra talisman.
"Buzz!"
A golden light shone, and a thick, diamond-like barrier instantly formed.
However, the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl did not directly collide with the barrier; the moment it touched the Vajra Barrier, it exploded with a "bang"!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dark green toxic fog that permeated and covered a large area.
Within the poisonous fog, countless venomous insect phantoms could be vaguely seen flitting about, emitting a rustling sound that made one's teeth ache.
The air hissed as it was corroded, and even the rocky surface of the steps of the sacred mountain instantly became pitted and uneven.
The light of the Vajra Talisman that Shen Rugo unleashed quickly dimmed and dissipated under the corrosive influence of the poisonous fog!
"not good!"
Shen Rugo was shocked.
The toxicity of the gas far exceeded her imagination.
Immediately, several more Blazing Flame Talismans and Fiery Talismans were thrown out like a machine gun.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Intense flames burst forth in the toxic mist, attempting to purify the toxins with high temperatures.
However, the poisonous gas and insects released by the Myriad Poison Pearl were extremely peculiar, as if they possessed sentience. Although the flames could repel and burn some of them, many more poisonous mists and insects stubbornly rushed over like a bone-deep ailment, their speed undiminished!
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Wu Xuemei laughed triumphantly, "Shen Rugo! No matter how exquisite your formation or how powerful your skills are, you will die under my Ten Thousand Poison Pearl!"
"Let me tell you, this poison is a rare and extraordinary species, impervious to water and fire, and impossible to destroy with magic. Let's see how you resist it!"
Wu Xuemei was full of confidence in the Myriad Poison Pearl.
Shen Ruge was in a panic, retreating repeatedly, casting various defensive talismans, but they could only temporarily slow down the rate of the poisonous fog's invasion.
The poisonous gas was pervasive and began to erode her protective aura.
Seeing that things were hopeless, staying on the mountain would only lead to being surrounded by poisonous fog, with unimaginable consequences.
Shen Rugo gritted her teeth, pushed off with her feet, and rapidly retreated, flying away from the area of the Heavenly Dao Divine Mountain and landing at its foot.
"Haha! That's right! Get lost!"
Wu Xuemei was filled with pride, and her laughter became even more arrogant. "Now, this sacred mountain and all the power of the Heavenly Dao here belong to me, Wu Xuemei!"
Shen Rugo, just stay there and be jealous. Watch how I refine all the power of the Heavenly Dao and create the strongest Heavenly Dao Golden Core!
Once I achieve the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant!
While laughing, Wu Xuemei manipulated the poisonous fog and insects, spreading them across the entire sacred mountain like an army, creating a poisonous barrier that completely blocked Shen Rugo's chance of climbing the mountain.
After doing all this, she immediately rushed up the sixth step, sat down cross-legged, and began to frantically devour and absorb the power of the Heavenly Dao in order to break through to the Golden Core realm!
The tide has turned!
Shen Rugo was forced to retreat, and Wu Xuemei took the initiative!
Shen Rugo, standing at the foot of the mountain, looked at the sacred mountain shrouded in poisonous fog and Wu Xuemei on the mountain, who was frantically devouring the power of the Heavenly Dao. Her eyes were filled with shock and anger.
But she did not panic. After a moment of thought, she quickly took out several jade bottles, poured out several pills of different colors that emitted a pleasant fragrance, and swallowed them in one gulp.
She is not only a rune master and array master, but also an alchemist!
In the Star Palace Secret Realm, she obtained not only cultivation techniques, runes, and array plates, but also numerous ancient pill formulas and rare spiritual herbs.
Of all these areas, her true forte is not the Way of Runes, but rather elixirs.
Both elixirs and poisons are called "medicines," and they originate from the same source.
If you understand elixirs, you'll naturally understand poisons!
Looking down at Shen Rugo as she took the pill, Wu Xuemei laughed mockingly again: "Shen Rugo, stop daydreaming! How could your antidote pills neutralize the poison of my Myriad Poison Pearls?"
Don't even mention Shen Rugo, even the world's top alchemists and families of alchemists simply cannot cure my strange poison!
You'd better stay down the mountain and watch me condense the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and obediently wait to die!
The moment I condense my golden core will be the day of your death!
Shen Rugo swallowed the pill and felt its medicinal power dissipate in her body, quickly dispelling the poison that was trying to invade her meridians. It worked! She suddenly raised her head and coldly replied, "Wu Xuemei, do you think you can secure victory with this little trick? You're too happy too soon!"
Shen Rugo only refined an antidote pill from the secret realm out of curiosity.
The antidote formula was extremely miraculous, claiming that "there is no poison in the world that cannot be cured." Shen Rugo made it out of curiosity.
After all, there were countless pill formulas in that secret realm. By sheer coincidence, the pill she refined actually worked against Wu Xuemei's poison!
"You keep talking even when you are about to die!"
Wu Xuemei looked disdainful. She didn't believe Shen Rugo's words at all and thought that the other party was just putting on a brave face.
But then, Shen Rugo made a move!
Instead of forcing her way through the poisonous barrier, she soared into the sky, drawing a graceful arc, and arrived above the sacred mountain, looking down from above.
At the same time, several pills appeared in her hand again, but this time, she cleverly combined these pills with several explosive talismans and threw them in several directions!
"Still trying to make a last-ditch effort? How laughable!"
Wu Xuemei scoffed.
However, her laughter stopped abruptly the next second, and her expression changed drastically!
