Chapter 1663  Baneful Dragon’s Poisonous Swamp

”I see…?” Despite Yuan explaining the situation to her, Yingzi only became more puzzled afterward. She couldnʼt fathom how Yuan, who was obviously human, became the Dragon Godʼs Descendant. Moreover, he should have the Primal Monarchʼs bloodline. However, she quickly stopped thinking about it, realizing it was pointless to overthink something she wasnʼt meant to understand.

”Your friend is a Shadow Dweller, huh? Itʼs been over a million years since I last encountered their race.” Long Yejun commented as he stared at Yingzi, as it was incredibly rare for a Shadow Dweller to be so far away from their natural habitat, the Hollowed Expanse.

”Oh, let me introduce myself. I am the second Dragon Godʼs Descendant, Long Yejun.”

”Yingzi.”

”Letʼs head to the Baneful Dragonʼs Poisonous Swamp now, shall we?” Yuan said a moment later.

”Sure.”

Since their destination was only three days away from the Divine Dragon Hall, they decided to fly there instead of wasting a teleport stone.

While they traveled, Long Yejun gave an introduction to the Baneful Dragonʼs Poisonous Swamp.

”Baneful Dragons are the strongest poison dragons and some of the most feared creatures in the Primal Expanse due to their dreadful poisons. Their poisons are so deadly that even entities with poison immunities could perish from them. Theyʼre also so incredibly annoying to deal with that even the Dragon God avoids fighting them as much as possible.”

”How are they annoying to deal with?” Yuan asked curiously.

”Their bodies are essentially made of poison, so they release poison from any wounds inflicted upon them. The only way to fight them is from a safe distance, and you must defeat them swiftly, or else their poison will spread. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done because Baneful Dragons are annoyingly durable.”

”Thereʼs a reason poison dragons are considered one of the most powerful and dangerous dragon bloodlines.”

”What bloodline does the Dragon God have?” Yuan asked.

”I would love to tell you, but unfortunately, even I do not have the answer.”

”What? Even though youʼre his offspring?”

Long Yejun nodded and sighed, ”Weʼve asked him many times, but he said heʼd only tell us if we can defeat him, which is essentially impossible. Even the Eldest, who is recognized as the most talented dragon since the Dragon God—the Unrivaled Tyrant—hasnʼt defeated him after many billions of years.”

”Iʼve heard about the first Dragon Godʼs Descendant multiple times now, but I still donʼt have a clue what theyʼre like.” Yuan suddenly said.

”Thereʼs only one thing you need to be aware of about the Eldest—” Long Yejun paused to look around nervously.

Once he was sure nobody was eavesdropping on them, he continued speaking through divine sense, ”That bitch is fucking crazy! No matter what, donʼt speak with her! As a matter of fact, donʼt even approach her! If you ever see her, run the other direction!” ʼThe Eldest is a woman, huh?ʼ Yuan thought to himself.

”What does she look like so I know itʼs her?” Yuan then asked.

”She has multiple appearances and changes quite often, so itʼs impossible to recognize her from appearance alone. However, youʼll still recognize her at a glance.”

”I donʼt get it.”

”Youʼll understand when you meet her.”

”Not even a hint?”

”Nope.” Long Yejun refused with a smile.

”Forget it then.”

Three days later, they arrived at the Baneful Dragonʼs Poisonous Swamp.

Just as its name implied, the place was literally a swamp but with poisonous water and plants everywhere.

”There are three different zones in the Baneful Dragonʼs Poisonous Swamp: Outer, Inner, and Center. Every zone has many layers of poisonous water, each containing a unique poison. Weʼre currently in the first zone on the very outskirts of the place.” Long Yejun explained.

”As you go deeper and approach the center of the swamp, the poison will become stronger. Do not underestimate this place, or youʼll die. I have the antidote for all poisons up to the inner zone, so you donʼt have to worry about dying. However, once you enter the inner zone, I cannot save you, and only the Baneful Dragon could save you.”

Yuan nodded, ”Thank you for the warning.”

After taking a deep breath, Yuan entered the swamp.

ʼThe swamp is much shallower than I anticipated…ʼ Yuan thought to himself as the water in the swamp only reached his knees.

Once he confirmed that his poison immunity was working, Yuan began walking deeper.

Several steps later, he was poisoned by a different type of poison.

He continued walking deeper into the swamp.

After walking three hundred steps and being exposed to over 20 different types of deadly poison, Yuan had only managed to complete a little under 10 percent of the first zone, meaning he was still over two thousand steps away from reaching the second zone.

ʼMy poison resistance isnʼt increasing. I guess I have to be poisoned by something that my Ten Thousand Poison Immunity cannot handle…ʼ

With that in mind, Yuan continued walking to the next zone.

Sometime later, Yuan finished 90 percent of the first zone after experiencing over 200 different types of poison.

When he was poisoned for the 207th time, a change occurred in his notifications.

Ding!

Seeing that his physique had finally activated, Yuan sat in the poisonous water and began cultivating. Although his physique was refining the poison, it didnʼt mean he wasnʼt experiencing any pain. In fact, Yuan was currently experiencing excruciating pain from every inch of his body.
