Chapter 452: Six-Star Dou Zong, Poison Pill Accomplished!
"Start the Poison Pill method!"
With Mo Yu's command, Xiao Yixian's pale face grew even more serious. No matter how much preparation had been done before, this was the moment of life and death.
Mo Yu didn't dare to relax in the slightest. With a thought, he summoned a green, life-filled disc that emitted a radiant light. The disc was about the size of a head, intricately carved with complex patterns, and at its center, there was a seventh-tier wood-attribute magic core. The powerful life energy emanated from this core, flowing through the detailed patterns.
This green disc slowly floated upward, hovering over Xiao Yixian's head.
In the next moment, a radiant green light, filled with life energy, descended from the disc, bathing Xiao Yixian. Under this life-infused glow, her pale complexion gradually regained a rosy tint, and her internal energy strengthened.
Countless rays of green light adhered to every corner of Xiao Yixian's body. Her meridians and muscles, which had previously been weakened by the poison, were now being revitalized.
"Wood King's Life Disk, it's your time to shine."
Seeing Xiao Yixian's body quickly regain its vitality, Mo Yu's eyes flashed with joy. The Wood King's Life Disk had exceeded his expectations.
Condensing a Poison Pill was no easy task, and it was extremely dangerous. To ensure Xiao Yixian's body remained in good condition and to prevent any accidents, Mo Yu had specially crafted this seventh-tier advanced weapon, the Wood King's Life Disk.
Since wood elements naturally carry life energy, this disk worked like a portable healer, constantly restoring the user's vitality.
After Xiao Yixian's Poison Mistress body erupted earlier, she had fallen into a weakened state. But with the help of the disk, she had recovered some of her strength. Though not fully restored, it was enough to assist her in the upcoming process of forming the Poison Pill.
After setting up the Wood King's Life Disk, Mo Yu quickly glanced at Xiao Yixian, who sat with her eyes closed, her body trembling slightly.
With a focused gaze, Mo Yu took a deep breath and held the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder in his hand, pressing it against the smooth skin of Xiao Yixian's flat stomach.
As soon as the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder touched her skin, it seeped into her body through her pores, accompanied by a faint, crackling sound.
"Next, it's time to neutralize the Poison Mistress's deadly poison."
Mo Yu's face became serious again. He formed two fingers into a seal and tapped on Xiao Yixian's lower abdomen.
As his fingers moved, the green lightning surrounding the gray vortex of poison parted, and strands of green poison lightning quickly shot into the vortex with a bubbling sound.
As the green lightning merged with the deadly gray poison, a violent reaction occurred. The gray poison surged, and the deathly energy within it was quickly absorbed by the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder.
"Xiao Yixian, circulate your Dou Qi and compress the poison into a pill!"
Feeling the deathly energy being gathered within the gray poison, Mo Yu shouted loudly, his voice thundering through Xiao Yixian's soul.
Under the force of Mo Yu's shout, Xiao Yixian regained some clarity and immediately began circulating her Dou Qi, following the method of the Poison Pill technique. She carefully compressed the vast vortex of poison.
Under Xiao Yixian's control, the poison vortex gradually began to condense toward the core of the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder.
As the poison clashed with the wild energy of the thunder, the energy fought back, trying to resist the encroaching poison.
Boom!
The clash between the poison and the violent energy didn't last long before a muffled explosion echoed. The energy within the core of the thunder was quickly swallowed and overtaken by the deadly poison.
As the poison took over, the core of the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder began to change, slowly turning round and radiating a dull gray glow.
The gray poison vortex spun rapidly as endless amounts of deadly energy flowed into the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder.
As more energy poured in, the thunder core began to shrink.
"Phew, things are going well."
Outside, Mo Yu sensed the orderly process within Xiao Yixian's body and finally relaxed. Fatigue washed over him, and he lay back with a sigh of relief.
Everything was going smoothly. Now, all he had to do was wait for Xiao Yixian to fully absorb the poison. Once the Poison Pill was formed, her Poison Mistress condition would be under her control, no longer causing unexpected outbursts.
His promise to Xiao Yixian, after all these years, was finally about to be fulfilled.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu smiled. But just as he was ready to relax, green electric currents began crackling in the air around the room.
The currents swirled, gathering into a thick green lightning pillar, which then shot straight into Mo Yu's chest.
As the green lightning surged through him, a wave of immense energy coursed through his body, giving Mo Yu an unparalleled sense of power.
"This... it's the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder's energy."
Mo Yu was startled for a moment, but then a smile of excitement crossed his face.
Every time the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder reached its peak, it would feedback some energy to Mo Yu, boosting his strength. But this time, the energy felt different.
The Shattered Void Thunder, which Mo Yu had once absorbed, was a space-element thunder, so it hadn't provided much of a power boost. And when Mo Yu had reached the Dou Zong level, the energy boost from that thunder had been barely noticeable.
The Ice Spirit Silver Thunder had been sacrificed to defeat Ice River Valley, and Mo Yu had given it to Qingzhi to strengthen her. Though this had earned him a loyal Dou Zun subordinate, it meant he hadn't personally benefited from the thunder's energy.
As for the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder, Mo Yu hadn't expected much either. After all, it had been used to help Xiao Yixian form the Poison Pill, and he assumed its energy would be consumed in the process.
But to his surprise, despite assisting in the creation of the Poison Pill, the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder's energy remained intact and was now being fed back to him.
"No wonder the Poison Mistress body is so terrifying!"
The fact that Xiao Yixian didn't absorb the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder's energy showed that her Poison Mistress body was powerful enough to form the Poison Pill without external help.
Mo Yu remembered that in the original story, Xiao Yixian had reached the Dou Zun level after forming the Poison Pill, showing just how frightening the Poison Mistress body was.
Thinking of how Xiao Yixian might soon surpass him in strength again, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. Still, he was happy.
With Xiao Yixian becoming a Dou Zun, and Qingzhi already at that level, Mo Yu would have two Dou Zun powerhouses by his side. His influence was growing, and it was time for his faction, Yuan Mansion, to make a name for itself on the continent!
But Mo Yu didn't have much time to ponder these thoughts. As the feedback from the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder surged through him, he felt his bones crackling as his strength increased rapidly.
His aura began to soar at an astonishing rate!
As Mo Yu's strength skyrocketed, the green currents in the room also grew more intense, swirling violently.
The Xuan Yin Poison Thunder's energy flowed into Mo Yu like waves, pushing him beyond his previous limits.
Dou Zong—four stars, then four-star peak, then five stars...
Mo Yu's power surged, and if anyone had been present, they would have been utterly shocked by the speed of his growth.
Breaking through to a higher level of Dou Zong took most cultivators years, sometimes even decades. Yet in just a few minutes, Mo Yu had ascended at a mind-boggling pace.
The sudden surge of power finally slowed after breaking through the six-star barrier, gradually stabilizing.
The crackling of electricity finally began to fade, and the violent storms of energy within the room calmed down.
Phew.
Mo Yu lowered his arms, feeling the powerful Dou Qi flowing through his meridians. A soft sigh of satisfaction escaped his lips.
This feeling of advancement was intoxicating. Truly, the Xuan Yin Poison Thunder was one of the most extraordinary treasures in the world.
As he clenched his hand, the surge of power made Mo Yu feel as though he could shatter the space around him.
Now, Mo Yu felt confident. If he encountered Tianshe again, he could defeat him without even using the second stage of the Heavenly Lightning Body.
And if he did activate it...
"Nine-star Dou Zong."
Mo Yu could feel that with his current strength, the power of the Heavenly Lightning Body had become limited. But even so, it could still push him to nine-star Dou Zong strength.
Nine-star Dou Zong was still far from a Dou Zun's power, but with the addition of his black-gold thunder pill infused with five peak thunders, Mo Yu now had the ability to fight and even kill a Dou Zun.
In less than two years on the continent, Mo Yu had reached such heights. It was an astonishing achievement that would shock many.
Smiling, Mo Yu glanced around the room. The Xuan Yin Poison Thunder hovered nearby, radiating a deadly energy. Even a Dou Zong expert would suffer greatly from its touch.
"It seems that helping Xiao Yixian form the Poison Pill also benefited the thunder itself," Mo Yu mused, pleased.
He then settled into a meditative position, guarding Xiao Yixian during the rest of her Poison Pill formation.
Ten days passed quietly...
At noon one day, just as Mo Yu stood to stretch, a sudden change occurred.
Xiao Yixian, lying on the bed, suddenly opened her gray-violet eyes, and an overwhelming aura burst forth like a dragon stirring up the wind and clouds.
Mo Yu was stunned at first, then filled with joy.
"The Poison Pill... it worked!?"
