Chapter 2118: Chapter 2116: Heaven and Earth Baptism
Bang...
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Xiao Yi’s body.
This wasn’t the aura of his breakthrough.
Instead, it was the enormous force from the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit within him that had already burst through his body.
Amidst the intense explosion, Xiao Yi’s upper garment instantly shattered.
On his chest, a distinct line of blood shot out.
"Puh," Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum.
In that very instant, he found himself in utter disarray, gravely injured in the blink of an eye.
Yet, this chaos, compared to the ferocious visage and terrifying form revealed as he removed his mask and his clothes shattered, might still be trivial.
That face, purely based on shape, was distinctly angular, if anything, it was quite a pleasing appearance.
However, now it was covered with rotting flesh and surrounded by toxins.
Those eyes, which should have been bright and clear, now showed streaks of black specks—frightful poison imprints.
His entire body was riddled with wounds, covered in Poison Robe and putrid blood.
"My body can’t hold on much longer," Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, squinting his eyes, "I must speed up."
Though he found the final missing complete Poison Dao, it still required comprehension.
Xiao Yi quickly engaged in his realization.
This was nearly the most desperate and vigorous extreme realization of his life.
A few dozen seconds later.
Rumble...
Between heaven and earth, a black light descended from the vault of heaven.
It was a complete Poison Dao.
"Absorb," Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up with joy, both hands reaching out to rapidly suction this complete Martial Dao.
Inside his body, within the Poison Realm, this complete Martial Dao gradually took form.
After a moment.
Rumble...
Inside the Poison Realm, a roar echoed.
When this complete Martial Dao was fully inherited, it signaled that Xiao Yi’s Poison Realm finally contained ten thousand complete Martial Daos.
Of course, these were also ten thousand pure complete Poison Daos.
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
In the Poison Realm, bursts of roaring erupted continuously.
The speed of the roar was extremely rapid.
So rapid, as if surpassing the limits of time.
Each roar was a resonance with heaven and earth.
A total of ten thousand roars meant ten thousand instances of resonance.
At this moment, a sudden clear perception of the vastness of this world emerged in Xiao Yi’s mind.
That vastness, although indescribable by him, was distinctly perceivable.
This resonance with heaven and earth was intensely profound.
In the sky, the power of heaven and earth began to converge.
Xiao Yi glanced at it, gritting his teeth, "It’s not yet the time for you all to descend."
Rumble...
Another powerful aura erupted from Xiao Yi’s body.
This time, it truly belonged to the aura of his cultivation breakthrough.
When this aura dissipated, his cultivation had completely stepped into the realm of Ten Thousand Dao, reaching the Legendary Realm.
Logically, he should stabilize his cultivation now and prepare for the descending Heaven and Earth Power above the vault of heaven.
But for now, it’s not the time.
What he needs to deal with now is the overwhelming power of ten thousand poisons within him.
The Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, while aiding him in breaking through to the Legendary Realm,
also presents an extreme threat.
"Absorb," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
As he reached the Legendary Cultivation, the pressure within him had significantly reduced.
The Poison Realm within was becoming even more vast.
The Poison Realm, originally intended as a Martial Artist’s Small World, grew with the Martial Artist’s cultivation.
As a Small World formed from cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book, the Poison Realm was inherently vast and had high growth potential.
On top of this breakthrough, it was a Great Realm leap to the Legendary Realm.
Therefore, this growth was significant for the Poison Realm.
With a low utterance from Xiao Yi, the Poison Realm within began to swiftly absorb the enormous and potent toxins of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.
Xiao Yi noticeably felt the myriad of toxic auras within decreasing, while the Poison Realm grew ever fuller.
Now, after Xiao Yi’s cultivation breakthrough to Legend, the ’capacity’ of the Poison Realm increased significantly, resembling a hungry beast voraciously devouring the enormous toxins.
The agonized look on Xiao Yi’s face was significantly alleviated.
Ten minutes later.
"Phew," Xiao Yi breathed out lightly, "got through it."
His previously swollen body had completely settled.
Yet, the toxins of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit continued to wreak havoc.
That dreadful toxicity still remains a deadly threat.
"Out." Xiao Yi gave a low shout, manipulating the pure poison power within the Poison Realm to surge outwards.
Whoosh...
Inside his body, streams of minute poison power began to circulate and flow.
The pure poison power, supported by the Unique Poison Realm, was overwhelmingly powerful.
At this moment, a look of lingering fear was on Xiao Yi’s heart.
Only after he truly swallowed the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit did he really grasp the terrifying aspect of this legendary first poison fruit.
The horrific toxicity could poison to death even a sixty-thousand Dao expert, and that was a legendary alchemist.
One can only imagine how terrifying the toxicity was.
Xiao Yi himself was originally only at Supreme Peak Cultivation.
Though his combat strength was strong, most of it was external power like Spirit Stones and Spirit Veins.
His own actual combat strength, fully unleashed, was at most around twenty-thousand Dao.
The true level of his own body was only at the Supreme Realm.
This realm could in no way withstand the deadly poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.
Thankfully, he hadn’t obtained the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit before.
Earlier, under his Supreme Peak Cultivation, he barely sustained it for a few minutes.
If it were his previous Supreme 9994 or 9995 Dao cultivation, if he had taken the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit then, he probably wouldn’t have lasted a minute before perishing instantly.
The words Senior Luoo had said to him, telling him to seize the time, were urging him to elevate his cultivation further.
Even though Xiao Xun was a Poison Dao expert, he needed at least Supreme Peak cultivation to be qualified to ingest this Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.
Of course, that was merely a qualification.
Supreme Peak as a cultivation level was also roughly the extent Xiao Yi estimated he could withstand the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit over a month ago.
Thus, he underwent another training more than a month ago, which was the final striving effort.
Looking now, all this preparation wasn’t in vain.
If he didn’t have this last training session, hadn’t stepped into Supreme Peak, then today’s Ten Thousand Poison Fruit would have been his death sentence, directly ending his life.
He wouldn’t even have enough time to comprehend the last complete Poison Dao to break through to the Legendary Realm.
Now, he’s done it.
In a moment between life and death, using the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit as a breakthrough, he finally achieved Legend.
And with his new Legendary Cultivation and the Unique Poison Realm, he forcibly resisted the terrifying toxicity of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.
The confrontation between the Unique Poison Realm and the remaining toxicity of the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit persisted for an entire day and night, finally coming to an end.
Up to now, the power and toxicity belonging to the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit had been either absorbed, neutralized, or fused with the Unique Poison Realm, completely dissolved.
In other words, the crisis brought by the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit has been eliminated.
Rumble... rumble... rumble... rumble...
In the heavens, complete martial paths descended one by one.
They were complete Poison Daos, totaling over six thousand, no, not just that, continuing to descend until reaching nine thousand in all.
These nine thousand complete Poison Daos were precisely among the ten thousand complete Poison Daos within the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit.
However, among the ten thousand complete Poison Daos, a thousand of them overlapped with the Poison Dao Xiao Yi himself already possessed, so only this shortfall of ’new’ complete Poison Daos descended.
Of course, though the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit contained ten thousand complete Poison Daos, Xiao Yi only needed one of them to fill the gap and break through in the Supreme Realm.
The subsequent assimilation of the complete Poison Daos didn’t take too long.
This was merely a regular absorption of complete martial paths.
An hour later.
"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly once more; he had completely absorbed all nine thousand complete Poison Daos.
In the Unique Poison Realm, it now held a total of nineteen thousand complete Poison Daos.
In other words, he was just a thousand away from stepping into the Legendary Twenty Thousand Dao.
Of course, his Poison Dao Cultivation is now thoroughly stabilized.
The joy in Xiao Yi’s eyes due to his breakthrough and stepping into Legend gradually solidified, replaced by a trace of anticipation.
As well as a long-suppressed wait.
Breaking through to Legend was merely the beginning of his current cultivation.
What he truly needed... was to restore this body.
High above, the Heaven and Earth power that had long accumulated was eagerly waiting to descend.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, "Heaven and Earth Baptism, descend."
Exactly, the Heaven and Earth power gathered in the high sky was indeed the legendary Heaven and Earth Baptism.
Only a Legendary Expert would receive this Heaven and Earth blessing.
It was the Heaven and Earth power generated by resonating with the heavens and the Earth thousands of times after breaking into Legend.
When a martial artist steps into the Legendary Realm, they will have one ultimate cleansing, refining the marrow, shedding the mortal shell and rebirth.
This is a ’reward’ from the heavens for the martial artist who reaches the Legendary Realm.
That is, the Heaven and Earth Baptism.
Xiao Yi had long known that his body had already become unresponsive to any medicine.
No alchemist’s methods, not even those of the continent’s foremost alchemist, the Master of the Main Hall of the Medicine Venerate Hall, could likely help.
No means of saving remain in the world; no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are effective anymore.
In this case, he could only rely on this Heaven and Earth power.
Six months of hardship, six months of waiting, all for this moment!
