Necropolis Immortal

mmortal, he wasn’t all that strong yet, but the poison he possessed was absolutely terrifying and on a similar level to the snake king’s nascent spirit poison.

One poison affected only the nascent spirit, while the other targeted only the physical body.
Blue light and green smoke intertwined in the air when the two great poisons clashed against each other.
They tore and ripped into each other, giving rise to violent poisonous fluctuations.

Greatly alarmed, the snake king hastily reared backward and didn’t dare touch the green smoke.
At the same time, the Poison Fiend didn’t dare let the blue light graze its skin.

“These disciples humbly request the presence of the Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch to root out evil!” Two coolly composed voices delivered loud proclamations, summoning a sky full of stars and coalescing starlight into a tall and lean figure.

The Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch!

Outside Life Province, the Lin brothers struck a steady pose and brandished longswords while chanting continuously.
After setting foot into immortality, they could summon a much stronger Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch than before.
What had previously been a blurry figure with indistinct features was now a real, solid man in his mid-thirties.
Penetrating clear eyes, chiseled face, and a small crown of pure gold in his hair, he wore a daoist robe embroidered with the Big Dipper.
Long hair flowing around his face emphasized his otherworldly tendencies.

“The Cosmic Skycarver,” he uttered in a magnetic voice the moment he landed.

Lu Yun quickly lobbed the sword in his hands to the patriarch.
The second it entered the patriarch’s grasp, the stars over his head brightened and rays of cosmic radiance crisscrossed to concentrate into various starstones.

“It really is the Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch!” Lu Yun’s eyes lit up.
The power of starstones and power of the cosmos originated from the patriarch.
When Chen Xiao found one for Qing Yu to suppress her cosmic constitution and poison curse, he’d unwittingly stumbled upon the patriarch’s legacy!

Dang, those two monkeys of mine did good this time and summoned the real patriarch! But the patriarch’s only meant to subdue ghosts and evil… Oh, wait, since the Spiriteater Demon Snake died and then came back to life in the Blood Sea, it counts as a dead spirit.

When the Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch struck out with a lunge, the starlight in the firmament gathered into a terrifying longsword of cosmic power.

Hummmmm.

Any location the longsword passed through thoroughly expelled all traces of blue light or green smoke.
The Poison Fiend squalled with anguish and took off running.
He’d been grazed by the light from the Cosmic Skycarver and was billowing black smoke from his wound.
As he’d just become an immortal, he had no resistance whatsoever to the strength carving through the sky.

“Gyak gyak gyak—” vocalized the snake king.
He took human form with a brisk shake, becoming a menacing man in a long crystalline blue robe.
An enormous long spear of bone scintillated with blue light in his hand, and it took only a heartbeat for the snake king to launch into a run at the sword.

Boom!

Flung back from recoil, the patriarch grunted and fell a few steps back as well.

“I might have shown you some respect if you were alive, Ninth Heavens Demon-Destroying Patriarch! But you’re just an image summoned by two true immortals, so what can you do to me!” The snake king threw his head back with a howl, transforming his spear into a snake and lunging at the patriarch.

At this moment, a bolt of blue and purple flashed through the sky and intersected, both making a beeline for the snake king.

Boom!

The combined bolts smashed the white bone spear to pieces.
