The Law of Poison is absolutely terrifying—especially on the battlefield, where it can sweep through entire armies in one go. If he played his cards right, killing billions of soldiers from the Tianyuan Universe wouldn’t even be that hard for him. That’s why he had earned a rather fearsome name on the battlefield: the Poison King.
While Ye Wushuang was locked in battle with their Invincible Supremes, the Poison King had already begun his insidious work. His poison wasn’t just incredibly potent—it was also completely colorless and odorless. Without any prior suspicion, it was almost impossible to detect. And since Ye Wushuang had never crossed paths with him before, he had no reason to guard against the power of poison.
So, amid the chaos of combat, the Poison King’s toxins had quietly seeped into Ye Wushuang’s body without him even noticing.
The Poison King could already sense it—his venom was now flowing inside Ye Wushuang’s very veins. That realization made him heave a quiet sigh of relief, and the grin on his face grew even wider.
When Ye Wushuang cleaved through the sea of fire, the Poison King locked eyes with him. There was no fear in his gaze—only mockery, as if Ye Wushuang was already a puppet in his hands, ready to be toyed with however he pleased.
Ye Wushuang was rather curious about that look. So instead of striking again from within the flames, he shot straight toward the Poison King the moment the fire split apart. As he emerged, his sword was raised high overhead, ready to bring it down on the Poison King before him.
That sight only made the Poison King smile even more gleefully. He spoke softly, calmly, with an air of absolute control.
“I’d advise you not to attack me. If you do, you’ll die a very miserable death.”
“Oh? A miserable death? And how exactly is that going to happen?”
“Haven’t you noticed… something different about your body?”
With that, the Poison King triggered a portion of the toxins within Ye Wushuang. He wanted to make a point—to show Ye Wushuang that he was already poisoned. He was confident that once he stirred the venom inside, Ye Wushuang would feel it immediately.
Ye Wushuang had no idea what he was planning—but the moment the poison was activated, he felt it. It was horrifyingly potent, spreading through his body in an instant. For anyone else, that would have been a death sentence on the spot.
But Ye Wushuang’s body had undergone eight cycles of Nirvana, reaching the point where even a single drop of blood could regenerate his entire being. On top of that, he had also mastered the Law of Strength. As a result, this kind of poison didn’t mean much to him.
What’s more, the instant he sensed the poison, he sealed every pore on his body. Then, without hesitation, he raised his sword and slashed himself—a clean, deadly cut.
In the eyes of the Night Demon Heaven Universe observers, it looked like this: right after their Poison King declared he would poison Ye Wushuang to death, Ye Wushuang suddenly raised his own divine sword and struck himself with a heavy blow.
The scene was absolutely mind-boggling to everyone watching from the Night Demon Heaven Universe. Many of them stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
Especially when they sensed that Ye Wushuang had actually died right before their eyes—that was simply too hard to swallow.
“Wh-what just happened?! How did he die just like that?!”
“No idea! He was perfectly fine a moment ago—why would he kill himself?!”
Ye Wushuang’s move completely baffled the people of the Night Demon Heaven Universe, especially their two Invincible Supremes. They had already prepared themselves to capture him alive. If they could get their hands on him, they could use him to threaten the Divine Dragon Empress. Then they could take down both him and her in one fell swoop.
But they never expected that just as they made their move, Ye Wushuang would drop dead right in front of them. It was so unexpected that even the two Invincible Supremes were left at a loss.
“So… do we go after the Divine Dragon Empress now?”
“Something doesn’t feel right. This isn’t that simple.”
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like he killed himself on purpose—to escape my poison. But… he did cut himself down, for real.”
The Invincible Supremes of the Night Demon Heaven Universe had no idea that both Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress possessed the ability to regenerate from a single drop of blood. They didn’t know that even if Ye Wushuang slashed himself to death, it wouldn’t actually deal him any real damage.
While they were still mulling over this, still trying to figure out whether Ye Wushuang was truly dead, he suddenly reappeared before them.
And when he did, he was completely unharmed—not even his clothes showed much damage. He even had that same smile on his face.
That smile, to the people of the Night Demon Heaven Universe, was a bitter mockery. They had been so sure they had him cornered. They had thrown everything they had at him, and yet, he stood before them as if nothing had happened.
This infuriated their Invincible Supremes, especially the Poison King. He had been absolutely certain that once the poison was in Ye Wushuang’s system, he would be helpless. But now, not only had Ye Wushuang resisted, he was practically taunting them both. There was no way the Poison King could accept that.
So, with a thunderous roar aimed straight at Ye Wushuang, he bellowed:
“You think you can escape my grasp just like that?!”
“Die!!”
And with that, he triggered every last bit of poison he had spread.
But Ye Wushuang, after cutting himself once, had barely any poison left in his system. As powerful as the Poison King’s venom was, at this point, it could no longer affect him in the slightest.
When the Poison King screamed for him to die, Ye Wushuang didn’t even flinch—he just stood there, even letting out a light, carefree laugh.
At this moment, the Poison King no longer posed much of a threat to Lin Tian. But the Poison King refused to accept that reality. Seeing Ye Wushuang completely fine only drove him further into rage.
“AHHH! DIE!!”
With that roar, he detonated every trace of poison in the air at once. In an instant, the entire world was engulfed in a sea of toxic miasma. Wherever the poison swept through, living beings dropped dead on the spot, reduced to piles of bleached bones. Rivers turned into venomous sludge. Creatures flying through the sky barely brushed by the poison gas and perished instantly.
And yet, at the very heart of all that poison, Ye Wushuang stood completely at ease—calm and unshaken.
