The artifact spirit of the Dragon Transformation Gourd had long been poisoned to death by the true energy of the Great Poison Spell, and even the main body of the entire gourd was about to melt. Fortunately, it was suppressed by the spirit talisman of the "World Honored One with Unfettered King"; otherwise, it would have dispersed long ago, leaving Fang Han in a scramble.
However, now, it was put to use.
And a massive use at that.
If this gourd of highly toxic true energy was to be taken out and hurled at people normally, it could not possibly hit a Cave Heaven Realm expert who had comprehended spatial rules. But now, Bodhisattva Baogen had swallowed Fang Han into his own Cave Heaven, which was equivalent to swallowing a gourd of highly toxic true energy into it as well. That was no different from committing suicide.
This gourd of highly toxic true energy was cultivated by Heavenly Concubine Umo. She had cultivated the Great Poison Spell to an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping degree. Even Feng Baiyu would be poisoned to death, let alone a figure like Bodhisattva Baogen.
Caught off guard that Fang Han still possessed such a move, the seven major Bodhisattvas blew up the gourd abruptly, causing the highly toxic gas to permeate, and every single one of them inhaled some of the toxic gas.
They had already cultivated the Undying Body. According to logic, their bodies could fundamentally not be harmed by ordinary toxic gases, as they all possessed extremely formidable protective astral energy. However, against the Great Poison Spell, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Buddha Sect's protective astral energy and protective magical treasures were entirely useless.
"Ah!"
First was Bodhisattva Ciji. The kasaya on his body let out a miserable shriek, its artifact spirit flying out, turning entirely green before directly being poisoned to death. The brilliance upon the kasaya subsequently dissipated. His protective astral energy was also invaded by the toxic gas. His body immediately began to decay and reek.
He was a tyrannical figure of the Undying Body, capable of refining mid-grade Dao artifacts. The Buddhist Sect lorded over a region, not inferior in the slightest compared to the God Race, possessing a vast abundance of materials. He was also a character who had cultivated for ten thousand years. As a Great Bodhisattva, he carried several life-bound mid-grade Dao artifacts refined upon his body.
Among them were his own kasaya, the lotus platform beneath his seat, and a flying sword for subduing demons.
Yet, these mid-grade Dao artifacts, existences with illustrious reputations, could not unleash a single bit of utility now, poisoned to death one by one by the Great Poison Spell.
"What is this? What toxic gas is this, why is it so violent? My body, ah, my body, my Bodhisattva golden body. I am a Second Stage Bodhisattva, an existence who has cultivated the Undying Body. How could mere toxic gas possibly do anything to me? Impossible, this is simply an impossible matter."
Bodhisattva Ciji felt excruciating pain all over his body, and his consciousness began to blur. No matter how he circulated his divine powers, that toxic gas still seeped thread by thread into his flesh and blood. Like venomous insects existing since eternity, it corroded every inch of his flesh, even managing to magnify its power and convert his flesh into toxic gas.
In the blink of an eye, his Bodhisattva golden body turned into what looked like a lump of messy green mud, incomparably foul-smelling. If even an eternal mighty figure were to catch a whiff, they would likely be immediately poisoned to death.
"This is bad; this is the Great Poison Spell from ancient legends, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the most perilous and virulent existence. It matters not. Our Buddhist Sect's cultivation methods and antidote medicinal pills perfectly counter any intense poison."
Bodhisattva Ci'en was also poisoned instantly, but he was extremely swift. From the magical treasure pouch on his body, he immediately pulled out three medicinal pills, all gleaming brightly. Unexpectedly, they were heaven-grade top-quality spirit pills, extremely rare, called "Buddha Heart Poison Expelling Pills," capable of neutralizing all poisons in the world. However, just as these medicinal pills were swallowed into his body, they were still melted by the Great Poison Spell. They did not work at all.
"What is going on! How is the Great Poison Spell so formidable? He is merely an Undying Body figure. How could he possibly forge such formidable toxic gas? This is bad, my body, my mid-grade Dao artifacts, are all starting to melt. My divine powers, the Buddhist divine powers I painstakingly cultivated for ten thousand years, are also going to be melted. Abominable, truly abominable."
Bodhisattva Ci'en thought the antidote pills would be useful, but they were of no use whatsoever.
His body was still melting, and the mid-grade Dao artifacts on him had already melted.
The current plight of the seven major Bodhisattvas was incomparably tragic. Corroded by the Great Poison Spell, each struggled with all their might, only to melt into putrid toxic liquid. Even Fang Han felt a tremor of fear watching this.
"How is the toxic gas of this Great Poison Spell so formidable? Fortunately, I used the Yellow Spring Diagram to protect myself earlier before entering that spatio-temporal tunnel; otherwise, I might have met the same end as these Bodhisattvas."
"Naturally. This Great Poison Spell was cultivated by Heavenly Concubine Umo. Who is Heavenly Concubine Umo? The concubine of the Ancient God Emperor, almost comparable to the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden of the Creation Immortal King of the Immortal Realm. Although it might be extremely weak now, even just a fragment, the Great Poison Spell cultivated from it is still far beyond what ordinary figures can match."
Yan also clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Wait until the Great Poison Spell poisons these seven Bodhisattvas to death, I will retrieve the true energy of the Great Poison Spell once more. It contains the flesh and blood quintessence and divine powers of seven Undying Body Bodhisattvas. If I find a way to refine it, to what magnificent degree will my essential energy accumulate?" Fang Han laughed long and hard.
"The toxic gas of the Great Poison Spell has already begun to corrode this Cave Heaven! That Bodhisattva Baogen is in trouble!" Yan shouted loudly: "The highly toxic true energy is growing more and more violent. The seven Undying Body Bodhisattvas have already begun to melt, converging into the Great Poison Spell. Fang Han, quickly protect yourself with the Yellow Spring Diagram, and then use the six-syllable true words spirit talisman to blockade the entrance to the Yellow Spring Diagram to prevent the toxic gas from permeating inside. Otherwise, if the toxic gas permeates in, we will be in a frantic scramble as well."
Upon hearing this, Fang Han immediately hid inside the Yellow Spring Diagram. Hurling out the spirit talisman of the World Honored One with Unfettered King Buddha, he sealed the entrance. Sure enough, that toxic gas could not harm him in the slightest.
Awoo! Awoo! Awooo!
The highly toxic gas completely melted the seven Undying Body Bodhisattvas. The flesh and blood of these Bodhisattvas contained highly toxic poison and began converting into highly toxic viscous liquid. Finally, it surprisingly began to condense, transforming into a highly toxic demon deity standing three thousand zhang tall, its entire body churning with toxic gas and coiled in toxic water. This demon deity grew more and more condensed, eventually shrinking and shrinking, until with an open mouth and a swallow, it actually gulped down all the Bodhisattvas completely.
Lastly, this demon deity transfigured into a person as tall as a normal human, its skin entirely pitch-black, possessing an extremely wicked countenance.
"Magic possessing a primordial spirit, life and death being impermanent. A Highly Toxic Demon King!" Seeing this, Yan roared loudly: "Quickly strike and suppress this Highly Toxic Demon King. It genuinely poisoned the seven major Bodhisattvas to death and converted all the wisdom and spiritual intellect of the seven major Bodhisattvas using toxic gas, turning into a new Highly Toxic Demon King. It is extremely formidable. If you can suppress and subdue it, not only will you gain a formidable highly toxic puppet, you can even successfully cultivate the Great Poison Spell."
"What? This highly toxic gas can still devour others, plunder wisdom, and condense into a fiend." Fang Han only felt that the Highly Toxic Demon King which had swallowed the seven major Bodhisattvas was surging with power like a tidal wave. Strikingly, its strength was not the least bit inferior to his own, a full near out-and-out galloping strength of ten billion fierce horses.
As soon as this highly toxic fiend condensed its form, it immediately began to urge rolling magic power, opening its mouth to spew fiercely. Even more violent highly toxic true energy filled the entire Cave Heaven.
Outside, Bodhisattva Baogen instantly realized what was happening inside his Cave Heaven. Shifting his body, he hastily emanated a current of green gas, his whole body trembling ceaselessly, his Buddhist light vastly diminished.
"Great Poison Spell! Why is there such a formidable Great Poison Spell! Magic possessing a primordial spirit, life and death being impermanent! The person who cultivated this Great Poison Spell has already reached the realm of impermanent life and death, an extent capable of reversing the rules of life and death, making the spells they cultivate possess their own life and wisdom." Bodhisattva Baogen's entire body was also tainted by the toxic gas.
However, his cultivation was, after all, more than ten times that of the seven major Bodhisattvas combined. Biting hard on his teeth, he roared frantically: "Cave Heaven shattering, Myriad Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor, Nirvana of my body!"
Boom!
Within his Cave Heaven, the power of space began to distort and explode. In a sudden flash, the entire Cave Heaven shrank, shrank, and shrank further, reducing into an imperceptible tiny dot. The spatial power within it concentrated and collapsed, and ultimately, roaring flames surged up from the Cave Heaven, wrapping around that Highly Toxic Demon King.
In this momentary instant, Bodhisattva Baogen surprisingly displayed the resolve of a hero cutting off his own wrist. Astoundingly, he pushed the Cave Heaven he had painstakingly cultivated for ten thousand years into Nirvana, paying the price of destroying his own Cave Heaven! All to prevent himself from suffering the harm of the Great Poison Spell.
But such a price was extremely heavy. He was originally at the pinnacle of the Longevity Third Stage Cave Heaven Realm. In order to condense his Cave Heaven, it was unknown how much time and energy he had spent, extracting hundreds of millions of spatial forces, quintessence energy, and aspiration power from the void to hammer it into form. To put it into Nirvana now was equivalent to destroying all his bitter efforts in one morning. It was also equivalent to his power regressing back to the level of when he had just comprehended spatial rules.
That Highly Toxic Demon King inside the spatial dimension had just condensed into form when it encountered a devastating blow.
"Om Mani Padme Hum!" Seizing this opportunity, Fang Han trembled suddenly amidst the lightning-fast instant. He executed the Great Seal Spell and, at the moment the Cave Heaven concentrated, sealed this Highly Toxic Demon King.
However, that highly toxic gas began to corrode even the Great Seal Spell.
Without the slightest pause, Fang Han suppressed the six-syllable true words talisman onto the Great Seal Spell. Consequently, he firmly suppressed the toxic gas of that Highly Toxic Demon King. Subsequently deploying the Yellow Spring Diagram, with a bang, he leaped out.
"Good! That giant thunder egg is starting to crack!"
Meanwhile, outside, Ah Huan Dragon Emperor and Son of God Yaoli were both repeatedly attacking the giant thunder egg. That densely packed electric grid was completely torn apart. Son of God Yaoli grabbed repeatedly with both hands, rendering billions of palm shadows, shaking that giant thunder egg until it cracked inch by inch, while Ah Huan Dragon Emperor spewed forth thousands of flames, melting that eggshell.
The eggshell abruptly ruptured. Deep within the thunder, the figures of two women were revealed.
"Hahahaha, there are actually two women!" Son of God Yaoli fiercely grasped over, his palm breaking through spatial limitations. Just at this moment, suddenly, an earth-shattering massive noise transmitted from Bodhisattva Baogen's body.
"What is that?"
Both Son of God Yaoli and Ah Huan Dragon Emperor were greatly shocked, sensing a devastating power emanating from Bodhisattva Baogen.
"Quickly scatter. He has encountered some unknown danger and has actually sent his own Cave Heaven into Nirvana." Son of God Yaoli immediately shielded his God Race subordinates, flickering rapidly, shuttling through thousands of parallel spaces.
