Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 635: Chapter 634: Immune to All Poisons

Returning to his room, Lin Yun sat cross-legged on his bed and began to circulate the Demon Emperor Technique. ”Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool,” he chanted softly.

And that was why. After hearing that Qing Zhu had fed him the Celestial Demon Pill, why wasn’t Lin Yun the least bit nervous? On the contrary, he was secretly delighted. Qing Zhu had outsmarted themselves.

No one knew that Lin Yun’s Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool could absorb any and all poisons from his body.

As he circulated the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool, the Celestial Demon Pill’s poison gradually surfaced within his body. Lin Yun could clearly feel it being slowly devoured by the Blood Pool.

Sensing this change, Lin Yun was secretly overjoyed. ’Just as I thought. Even the Celestial Demon Pill can be neutralized by my Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool.’ The only difference was that, compared to other poisons, the Celestial Demon Pill was so terrifyingly potent that even the Blood Pool’s absorption speed was incredibly slow.

At Lin Yun’s current level of strength, the range of his Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool had not only expanded to a thousand square meters, but its speed of absorbing Energy had also increased considerably.

Moreover, the Elemental Power in his body was now sufficient to sustain the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool for three hundred breaths.

The Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool spread to every part of Lin Yun’s body, absorbing the Celestial Demon Pill’s toxins bit by bit. After a full three hundred breaths, Lin Yun violently spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood reeked with a disgusting stench. The patch of ground it touched was instantly corroded.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lin Yun murmured, ”I haven’t completely neutralized the Celestial Demon Pill’s poison. Still, another four or five sessions should do the trick.”

He couldn’t neutralize the Celestial Demon Pill’s poison in one go. Lin Yun estimated it would take another four or five sessions to completely absorb all of it.

But that didn’t matter. The power of the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool against all poisons was undeniable. Knowing the Celestial Demon Pill was ineffective against him, Lin Yun finally relaxed. At the same time, a plan formed in his mind—a plan that could not only resolve his current crisis but also help the Demon Palace secure another victory.

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate. The night passed in silence. By early the next morning, Lin Yun’s injuries had mostly healed. His incredible recovery rate astonished the Divine Palace Warriors guarding him.

They had all seen the extent of his injuries firsthand. For any other Divine Palace Warrior, just surviving such wounds would have been a miracle, let alone recovering completely in just a few short days as Lin Yun had.

Practicing his Martial Skills in the courtyard, Lin Yun solidified his plan. He would play along with their scheme. With this course of action decided, he felt much more at ease.

Qing Zhu was nowhere to be seen today, not that Lin Yun asked. He knew Qing Zhu was bound to show up eventually as long as he was here. While Lin Yun was practicing his Martial Skills, however, Lin Jianhong arrived at the small courtyard alone.

Seeing Lin Jianhong appear at the courtyard gate, Lin Yun stopped his practice and offered him a faint smile.

The Divine Palace Warriors did not stop Lin Jianhong. He walked into the courtyard, looked at Lin Yun, and chuckled. ”You really are a cockroach, recovering from such severe injuries so quickly.”

”You didn’t come here just to tell me that, did you?” Lin Yun said coolly, looking at Lin Jianhong.

Hearing this, Lin Jianhong smiled faintly, and the two of them sat down on the bamboo chairs in the courtyard.

”Lin Yun, do you know what the Celestial Demon Pill is?” Lin Jianhong asked with a light laugh from his bamboo chair.

”I do,” Lin Yun replied flatly.

”In that case, I’ll be direct. Though you and I have no grievances, you share a death feud with Song Tianyang and Wei Yunhang. I came today to invite you to join the Qing Zhu Association...”

Lin Jianhong continued speaking slowly. His purpose for coming today was, in fact, quite simple: he wanted to invite Lin Yun to join the Qing Zhu Association.

Lin Yun’s Combat Power was plain for all to see. For Lin Jianhong, there was no downside to inviting Lin Yun to join the Qing Zhu Association.

After Lin Jianhong finished speaking, a cold sneer appeared on Lin Yun’s face. ”Lin Jianhong, I’m quite curious. When did you join the Qing Zhu Association? As one of the Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain, what could the Qing Zhu Association possibly offer that’s worth your time? Can it really give you more than Celestial Eagle Valley?”

After arriving here, Lin Yun had learned that both Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong had joined the Qing Zhu Association long ago. Hearing Lin Yun’s question, Lin Jianhong replied with a smile.

”The Qing Zhu Association can give me what Celestial Eagle Valley cannot. After we leave these ruins, the entire Eastern Domain will enter a new era. The time of the Six Great Forces has passed. Therefore, Lin Yun, one must adapt to the changing times.”

After talking with Lin Jianhong for an hour, Lin Yun guessed that he had likely come today of his own accord, without Qing Zhu’s knowledge. As Lin Jianhong was leaving, however, he made a point of reminding Lin Yun of something.

The Celestial Demon Pill’s poison would flare up once a month. When it did, one needed the antidote to suppress it; otherwise, they would suffer a fate worse than death.

After Lin Jianhong left, Lin Yun smiled faintly. Everyone now thought he was poisoned by the Celestial Demon Pill and had no way to escape the Qing Zhu Association. Little did they know, he wouldn’t need a month. In a week at most, he would be able to completely neutralize the poison.

”A new era for the Eastern Domain?” Lin Yun chuckled to himself. ”We’ll see if this new era belongs to the Qing Zhu Association... or to me.”

Although he didn’t know why the Qing Zhu Association was so intent on unifying the Eastern Domain, it didn’t matter. Lin Yun would never let Qing Zhu succeed. The reason was simple: the person who would unify the Eastern Domain was him.

It wasn’t just the Eastern Domain. He would bring the entire Celestial Spirit Continent under his heel, and after that, the Divine Realm itself.

When night fell, Lin Yun once again circulated the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool to absorb the remaining Celestial Demon Pill toxins. The surface-level poison had already been completely cleansed.

Now, the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool was absorbing the deeper-seated toxins, but this time, its absorption speed was even slower than before.

The more deeply hidden the poison, the harder it was to absorb. In a full three hundred breaths, Lin Yun only managed to absorb half the amount of toxins he had the previous night.

Again, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. The further he progressed, the more he felt that the Celestial Demon Pill’s poison was like a maggot gnawing at his bones—incredibly difficult to remove.

But it didn’t matter. ’If once isn’t enough, I’ll just do it a few more times. Before the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool, the Celestial Demon Pill is useless. Sooner or later, it will all be absorbed.’

”How annoying,” Lin Yun murmured, slowly opening his eyes. ”If I didn’t have the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool, I’m afraid I really would have ended up under Qing Zhu’s control this time.”
