Martial Master

“Ah!”

In a certain stone chamber, a master alchemist at the Heavenly Saint level, who had just relied on luck to pass the second trial, suddenly let out a miserable scream. Dark green smoke quickly emerged from his body, and he began to rot under the effects of the toxins.

Countless toxins seeped into his body. Moments later, that Heavenly Saint alchemist completely disappeared, leaving only a puddle of pus and a few rags of clothing in the center of the stone chamber's poison formation, indicating that someone had been here before.

In the dim space.

“This kid has such strong toxin resistance, he actually endured it again, and showed no signs of fatigue. It seems he hasn't even reached his limit yet. I really want to see what his endurance limit is.”

Buzz!

The formation beneath Qin Chen surged with waves again. The next moment, a terrifying power of toxins began to infiltrate Qin Chen's soul, seeping into his mind.

“Soul invasion? This poison formation can even affect a warrior's soul?” A trace of corrosion began to appear above the soul in Qin Chen's mind, and that trace of corrosion spread rapidly like a virus, beginning to diffuse in his sea of souls. If it succeeded, Qin Chen's soul would soon be completely immersed in toxins and die miserably.

“Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique, resist it for me!”

Qin Chen's expression changed slightly as he quickly activated the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique. A terrifying wave of soul energy surged out, forcing the trace of poison out swiftly.

“That was close!”

Qin Chen felt a surge of panic in his heart. This toxin was too terrifying. If he wasn't careful, he might have really been invaded successfully by the toxins.

“What? This kid managed to resist the soul invasion so quickly? What just happened? This person's soul seems to have become stronger in an instant. What kind of secret technique is this?”

In the dim space, a cold voice was filled with shock and disbelief. “This person definitely possesses a powerful soul secret technique. Although the poison formation in the stone chamber is only at the late Saint Master level, not a Venerable level poison formation, to withstand the soul invasion of this formation, the rank of this soul secret technique must far exceed the Saint Master level.”

“Could it be a Venerable level soul secret technique?”

The cold voice was filled with shock. Even in his lifetime, he had never possessed such a secret technique. How could it appear on a mid Saint Master level brat?

“I don't believe it. This kid can keep resisting. Let's see when the poison formation is activated to its maximum. I want to see if he can still hold on.”

Boom!

In the stone chamber where Qin Chen was located, the poison formation suddenly changed. In an instant, the power of the laws in the entire void began to transform, filling the world with a foul odor of decay and deterioration.

This power seeped into Qin Chen's Saint Master origin through the surrounding laws, actually poisoning Qin Chen's Saint Master origin.

“How is this possible?”

Qin Chen was greatly shocked.

This poison formation could even poison the laws of heaven and earth?

Hiss!

Did this not mean that this toxin could even poison the Heavenly Realm? The laws are the rules of the operation of the world. Even a peak late Saint Master can only integrate with the laws; they cannot change the laws. But this toxin could corrupt the laws of heaven and earth, completely exceeding Qin Chen's understanding.

“Could this be the power of a Venerable?”

That’s right.

Saint Masters are the highest level that can be accommodated within the rules of the Heavenly Realm. The birth of any Saint Master brings benefits to the grand Dao of the Heavenly Realm, enhancing its power.

But Venerables are existences that surpass the rules of the Heavenly Realm. The birth of any Venerable causes damage to the grand Dao of the Heavenly Realm because their birth suppresses the power of the grand Dao.

It can be said that Venerables are powerful beings that surpass the existence of rules.
