I Am Overlord-Chapter 1789: Corpse Poison Burning
A massive battle broke out between the Zombie God and Ming Shi. Both of them were terrifying combatants. They had only exchanged several moves, yet the entire Wumo Pass was already devastated.
They then flew out of the dominion to fight in outer space. If they had continued their battle in the dominion, they would have probably destroyed it in its entirety. Even with the Zombie God's departure, the Wumo Pass was still not a place one could easily enter. A headless zombie mounted on a headless horse stood guard alongside other God Realm zombies. Those below the Nine Revolutions Realm would still be incapable of entering the Wumo Pass.
Of course, Xiang Shaoyun wasn't bothered to do anything to the zombies. Instead, he went aside with Huang Tian and started removing the poison in Huang Tian's body. Huang Tian had been relying purely on his powerful cultivation to withstand the corpse poison. If he was any weaker, he would have probably died already.
Xiang Shaoyun had Huang Tian relax before he inserted the primal chaos flame into Huang Tian's body. The primal chaos flame lived up to its name as the bane of all poisons. Anywhere the flame reached, the corpse poison was cleared.
However, the trickiest thing to deal with was not the poison in Huang Tian's body but the poison in his soul. The corpse poison was also trying to destroy his soul, which was why Huang Tian had no longer dared to fight the Zombie God after being poisoned.
With the clump of primal chaos flame, Xiang Shaoyun formed a pocket space containing Huang Tian in it and said, "Senior Huang, release your soul. I will control the flame. You will have to resist some discomfort."
Not only was primal chaos flame the bane of all poisons, but it was also the bane of all souls. A mere touch was enough to reduce any soul into nothingness. One ought to admit that this was a very dangerous method to remove poison.
But as someone capable of reaching such a high height in cultivation, Huang Tian was no ordinary person. He had braved countless dangers before. He unhesitatingly released his soul. One could see that his soul was infected by a thick layer of corpse poison. Almost the entire soul was covered. It was only a matter of time before the soul suffered full corrosion.
Burn!
Xiang Shaoyun controlled the flame and sent it over. Huang Tian immediately revealed a look of extreme pain. Bit by bit, the corpse poison was eliminated.
"Senior Huang, please come nearer. It doesn't matter if you lose some soul power. I can help your soul recover fully," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Alright," agreed Huang Tian. He showed no fear and brought his soul closer to the flame.
As the primal chaos flame burned, the corpse poison was constantly being reduced. However, Huang Tian's soul power was also greatly weakened. If he couldn't properly recover his soul power after this, even his cultivation level might be affected. His future growth might also be more difficult.
After about half a day, Huang Tian's poison was fully removed. He had lost about half his soul power. When he withdrew his soul back into his body, his aura weakened considerably. He also looked sickly. Nevertheless, he still felt much better than when he was plagued by the poison.
Huang Tian had many treasures in his collection. He immediately took out several stalks of god-grade herbs and consumed them, including herbs that could aid in soul recovery. Unfortunately, the herbs were far from enough for his soul to make a full recovery.
Xiang Shaoyun took out a pot of god-grade soul spring water. "Senior Huang, you need to take this."
Huang Tian did as told. A pure power bubbled in his body and nourished his mind, and his soul instantly recovered massively.
Shortly after, he opened his eyes and said, "That's god-grade soul spring water!"
"Of course. I wouldn't have asked you to risk yourself without such a treasure," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
God-grade soul spring water was no ordinary treasure. It was the same spring water that had nurtured the natural earthly soul. Even an expert in the Nine Revolutions Realm would find it useful.
"Hehe. Thank you, young friend. This old man will repay you for this when the opportunity arises," said Huang Tian with gratitude.
"Don't worry about it, Senior Huang. You sacrificed so much for the dominion. What I did for you is nothing," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"If possible, I hope you can burn away all the corpse poison clouds, returning peace to the Western Desert," said Huang Tian.
"You're right, Senior Huang. Let's destroy this nest of zombies!" said Xiang Shaoyun resolutely.
"Um. But do not be careless. Apart from the Zombie God, there might be other powerful ancient zombies here. It wouldn't have dared to think of conquering the Western Desert otherwise," said Huang Tian.
Next, they had the Guardians Guild members retreat farther away so as not to create unnecessary casualties. The Guardians Guild members naturally didn't dare to stay upon being warned. They went as far as they could. Huang Tian asked about the individual fighting the Zombie God. Xiang Shaoyun did not tell the truth. He only said that Ming Shi was a living puppet under his control.
Huang Tian naturally wouldn't ask too much. Everyone had their own secrets. He only needed to know that the living puppet was one of their helpers in protecting the dominion.
Next, Xiang Shaoyun gave Huang Tian some time to recover while he entered the Wumo Pass alone.
His entire body was shrouded in a layer of primal chaos flame. The corpse poison was immediately destroyed on contact with the flame, unable to even approach him. When the distant Guardians Guild members saw that, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"That is primal chaos flame, right? It's too powerful. He is practically immune to the corpse poison."
"Yeah. He even used the same flame to help remove the poison from Lord Huang Tian. If possible, we need to get his help as well. I feel like we have all been inflicted with differing degrees of corpse poison. If we hadn't been suppressing the poison, many of us would have died by now."
"If he really can suppress the Zombie God, he will be a worthy young guild master."
"We'll see. The Wumo Pass is a forbidden zone. There are still many powerful ancient zombies there. This is not a place one can subjugate so easily."
…
The headless zombie charged Xiang Shaoyun on its headless horse, stabbing at Xiang Shaoyun with its spear. The spear shot forth like a rainbow through the air, carrying with it a terrifying might. The zombie was half a step into the One Revolution Realm, but it was strong enough to kill One Revolution experts.
Xiang Shaoyun faced the attack head on and grabbed the spear with his hand. The death and corpse energy was instantly burned into nothingness by the primal chaos flame spouting out of his palm.
The headless zombie did not fear the flame. It lifted its spear and brought it down upon Xiang Shaoyun with the might of a collapsing mountain. Xiang Shaoyun charged forth and threw a punch before the spear could strike him. The punch landed on the headless horse.
Boom!
With a loud rumble, the horse was turned into mincemeat. Even the headless zombie suffered from the impact, and its body was torn apart. Huang Tian and the others were dumbstruck. What a rough fighting style!
