The canyon was devoid of anyone except Lu Yu. Black poisonous gas had turned trees, flowers, grass, and even rocks into toxic waste.
Poisonous mist struck the rocks around the canyon, flowing through the air like water.
The canyon at this moment resembled the venomous dragon’s lair that Lu Yu had seen in the Demon Realm.
The poison here is so potent that even the stones have been contaminated.
The land with a diameter of at least thirty kilometers has already been poisoned.
Everything within this area appears to be engulfed in black flames.
In the distance, countless beasts stood on the high ground, staring at the poisonous sea, their fur bristling with unease.
This is the power of the Poisonous Dragon, a strength capable of challenging kings.
The sea of poison has lingered in these mountains for ten days already, and each day the power within this toxic sea continues to grow stronger.
Lu Yu stayed here for ten days, and not a single one of the ten Venomous Dragon Fruits went to waste.
As his toxicity increased, the number of poison dragon fruits required to further enhance his toxicity also increased.
This time, Lu Yu used up ten Poison Dragon Fruits before the attribute information finally began to change.
The sea of poison retracted, flowing backward into Lu Yu’s body.
…
Toxic evolution complete, new ability activated—Toxic Barrier!
…
The evolution of the poisoned land has been completed!
…
Special Ability: Toxic Barrier — Your blood seeps into the ground, allowing toxicity to grow and eventually transform into a wall of poison. When multiple poison walls connect, they form a toxic barrier covering the land. Any living being that comes into contact with this toxic barrier will be corroded by the poison gas. The result of failing to resist this toxic corrosion is death. The strength of the poison determines the power of the toxic barrier. For every 100,000 units of strength you possess, a toxic humanoid made of poison will emerge within the barrier.
…
Special Ability: Poisoning the Land — You are the King of Poison, exuding an aura of dominance as you traverse the world. Wherever you step, poison shall eternally shroud the area. With every footfall, a radius of fifty zhang in all directions will become poisoned. This ability doesn’t merely poison the earth; it poisons even the void itself. Any place you step upon will become a realm of poison, encompassing both land and air within a diameter of fifty zhang, and the toxicity shall never fade. With every ten-thousand zun increase in your power, the radius of your poisoning ability expands by an additional fifty zhang.
…
Lu Yu waited until the Poison Dragon King finally completed its evolution and was very satisfied with the current level of toxicity.
The emergence of the toxic barrier is equivalent to a shield, which will protect Fanggang City.
As for the ability to condense the power of one hundred thousand beings into a single poisoned individual, what kind of ability is that, and what kind of poisoned individual could it create?
Lu Yu’s current strength is still less than fifty thousand zuns; he is still short by fifty thousand zuns.
This evolution has brought not only the emergence of toxic barriers, but also the ability to poison the land itself.
Fifty zhang of poisoned area per ten thousand units of force.
Right now, with just one step, I can poison an area with a diameter of six to seven hundred meters. That’s a range of two hundred zhang!
It is important that——
Lu Yu tried to take a step forward.
The ability to poison the land is activated—
Boom!
Poisonous flames surged beneath his feet, rapidly shooting up into the sky. In an instant, they exploded, sending waves of toxic gas rolling out in all directions like a tidal wave.
In the blink of an eye, a region with a diameter of two hundred zhang was filled with rolling toxic mist.
Toxic mist on the ground flows like water, while in the sky, poisonous fog drifts about, rising nearly a hundred zhang high.
Lu Yu slammed his palm into the ground, causing the earth’s soil to upheave. Beneath the surface, streams of toxic gas flowed like water.
This was equivalent to him transforming an area of land more than a mile in diameter into a poisoned wasteland with just this single step.
This cannot be compared to the Fire King’s Fire Domain.
That was created by Wang.
However, Lu Yu believed that if this evolution continued, sooner or later he would be able to create his own toxic realm.
The Poison Dragon Fruit has been absorbed; there’s no need to linger in these mountains any longer.
Lu Yu left the mountains without encountering any beast that could stop him, as all the wild animals were avoiding him.
Although the sea of poison in that canyon had receded.
But there was still toxic gas lingering there.
The power of the Poison Dragon King poisoned even the mountains and rocks. For dozens of miles around the canyon, the mountains were devoid of flowers and trees, and even wild beasts dared not approach.
The rocks in this area are all black, with residual black energy lingering on their surfaces.
Not long after Lu Yu left, a group of warriors appeared at the edge of this area.
A warrior looked at the vast expanse of pitch-black land and mountains before him and, with a trembling voice, said, “Yes, not long ago, I did sense a powerful force appearing right here.”
Everyone looked ahead and was stunned by the gruesome scene here.
It’s as if a great battle had taken place here; not even a trace of life’s breath can be felt anymore.
The warrior who spoke first felt his entire body turn icy cold, his legs trembling as he stammered, “I’ve seen the Great General before. The aura of that honorable lord is too similar to the aura here. Although not exactly the same, both are terrifyingly boundless. What is this creature—human or beast?”
A soldier looked at the black stones on the ground and drew his weapon, intending to poke at the stones to see if anything was wrong.
“No!”
Everyone shouted together.
Their cries came too late.
The moment the weapon touched the stone, a thread of black mist from the stone landed on the weapon, instantly igniting like raging flames that engulfed the weapon entirely.
The person holding the weapon reacted quickly, releasing his grip and attempting to retreat at an extremely fast speed.
But the black flames were faster and had already reached the person.
“Oh!”
The man let out a pained scream.
The moment the black flames touched the body, as black flames spewed from the seven orifices, the person had already transformed into black liquid, splashing down upon the earth.
Everyone else was so terrified that they instinctively stepped back.
“This… this is poison!”
“What a terrible poison!”
Translation: “What a terrifying poison!”
“It’s difficult… Could this really be the poison of the Poison Dragon? I’ve heard that the Poison King Lord, ranked fifth among the seventy-three lords, possesses the most potent poison in the world—one so deadly that anyone who comes into contact with it is destined to die.”
“The Poison King Lord has actually been here; this aura is almost on par with the Great General’s. Goodness, could it be—”
Several people exchanged glances, their expressions filled with utter horror.
Could it be that the Poison King Lord is already prepared to闯过 the Killing Space?
“Big news, big news!”
“If this were to get out, it would be a huge deal.”
They felt that this aura absolutely had the power to become a level-nine authority.
This is not a place to stay.
Such poison, anyone who comes into contact with it dies instantly!
Boom!
At this moment, in a pitch-black ravine, a giant two-headed black tiger, nearly ten feet tall, was stepping through the toxic fumes, drawing closer to them.
Black toxic gas spewed from the cracks in the rocks, yet when it came into contact with the black tiger’s body, it couldn’t harm the tiger in the slightest.
“This… this is… Could it be that even beasts are immune to the poison of the毒龙 (Venomous Dragon)?” They looked at the black tiger in terror, their hairs standing on end instantly.
Not fearing venomous beasts, this is practically the nemesis of the Poison King.
“Since you’re here, don’t bother leaving,” the two-headed black tiger spoke coldly. “Some information is simply not meant for you to know.”
The one who arrived was none other than the Violent King, who had entered this space together with Lu Yu.
He formed an alliance with Lu Yu and received Lu Yu’s blood, which granted him immunity to Lu Yu’s poison.
Such immunity rendered him fearless of any poison in the world, yet it did not grant him true virulence.
That was a privilege reserved solely for Lu Yu’s true allies and companions.
These warriors had pale faces. They had barely managed to evade the beasts and reach this place, only to encounter enemies in the end.
In the mountains and forests, encountering a wild beast was equivalent to having their death sentences pronounced.
Everyone turned around and started running away. The moment they lifted their feet, they felt a chill all over and sat down hard on the ground.
Because, somewhere in the mountains and forests behind them, there were already pairs of幽blue and ghastly green eyes gleaming with light, though no one knew exactly when they had appeared.
One by one, fierce beasts emerged from the mountains and forests. The overwhelming pressure from their powerful presence forced all the warriors to kneel on the ground.
Heavens, this isn’t the territory of the Beast King at all—how come there are so many King-level beasts here?
“All of them, they’re yours,” the暴烈王 said disdainfully, looking at the warriors. “After you devour them, cleanse this area of all humans.”
After speaking, the Violent King turned around and strode deeper into the canyon.
At this moment, the soldiers finally realized that the two-headed black tiger was actually a beast king.
“Roar!”
Hundreds of ferocious beasts charged toward them, while even more scattered and rushed into the mountains and forests.
…
Zuo Lanfeng’s shop was at least five times larger, with a luxurious and bright storefront decoration.
The number of workers increased to a hundred.
In half a year, Zuo Lanfeng had gained tremendous popularity by co-selling the Supreme Star Weapons with the Black Dragon Mercantile Guild, which brought in a large crowd of people.
His shop gradually became well-known in the southern part of the city, and accordingly grew larger over time.
Although Lu Yu never returned again, the three presidents of the Black Dragon商会 still came by once in a while, whether there was a reason or not.
All of these were witnessed by other shopkeepers and countless soldiers.
Even the president of the Black Dragon Merchant Guild came in person to pay a visit. Who exactly is the owner of this shop?
The more curious people are, the more they want to know.
The name of this shop is also getting bigger.
As usual, Zuo Lanfeng sat in his own seat, watching the flow of people passing by, feeling very satisfied.
Half a year ago, he had never even imagined that he would reach this point today.
Within half a year, he had expanded his business by six or seven times and increased his income by more than tenfold.
All of these are bestowed by that honorable official.
Although the adult suddenly disappeared, there were also rumors of that person appearing in other districts.
However, for him, being the first person to meet that great man, he remains the proudest.
“Boss, someone is here to see you,” said an assistant, leading a figure in a black robe to Zuo Lanfeng.
“Who is it?” Zuo Lanfeng asked with a prolonged nasal tone, lifting his head.
Then Zuo Lanfeng was stunned.
Although the person was wearing a black robe, those eyes would never change.
The figure in the black robe removed the black hood from his head—it was indeed Lu Yu.
“Plump!” Zuo Lanfeng rolled off his chair and stood up excitedly, saying, “Sir, sir, you’re back. Quick, go get some water, and bring all the best snacks.”
Zuo Lanfeng hurriedly wiped the chair he was sitting on, asking Lu Yu to sit down.
“Master Zuo, long time no see.” Lu Yu sat down without ceremony and took a sip of water brought by an attendant. “Call over the Black Dragon Mercantile, Zhang Shan, and Almon. I’m ready to sell some things.”
“I understand, I understand,” Zuo Lanfeng said. As soon as he heard that Lu Yu wanted to sell something, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Goodness, what is this noble going to sell now?
The last time this noble sold a large number of star soldiers, it nearly caused a market frenzy in the southern part of the city.
Because of that one time, he has achieved today’s success.
This gentleman has returned again today, still wishing to sell some items.
If I could cause another sensation, I would no longer just be the owner of a single shop, but could become a guild leader like the Black Dragon Merchant Guild, owning dozens of shops.
Zuo Lanfeng ran out.
No one else is needed for such a task; he insists on going in person!
What would happen if this gentleman were to take action again?
