788 Chapter 788

The toxic poison that could eliminate ancient remnant beasts was completely absorbed by Aiden's immensely terrifying ability right after entering his body.

This was the most shocking truth. Everyone else viewed the Corpse Poison Sect as a great threat but they were nothing much to Aiden. He had already guessed after checking Madam Dara's state that he wouldn't have to worry too much.

Even such a poison that was feared by everyone like the Violet Haze Flower Poison was nothing for his absurdly high resistances. In fact, he guessed that from the most lethal toxins on this list of 'Lethals' of the Corpse Poison Sect's list, maybe the topmost two or three could pose any meaningful threat to him.

"[Slaric] Dorah Kai, was it? You don't have to wait for that Corpse Poison Sect disciple to return anymore. He has already died on the long street in the city's south!"

Striding widely, Aiden advanced towards Dorah Kai.

"[Slaric] Additionally, my subordinate… no, my FRIEND's life is in no danger, whatsoever. I have already healed him. Sorry to disappoint you!"

Dorah Kai's gaze turned cold and suddenly, he stomped his feet just as Aiden was closing in. Instantly, a warning flashed through Aidenn's mind as his legs stumbled; the floor had suddenly sunk in!

Instantly, the raggedy robe was torn through once again as two gigantic draconic wings extended from Aiden's back! Although there was nothing beneath his feet, he could soar through the air.

*Pshew!* *Pshew!* *Pshew!*

Swift sounds shot through the air continuously and were extremely soft. Though most people would have probably missed, it was different for Aiden and his extremely sharp senses.

The moment the floor slab beneath his feet sank in, a poisoned needle as thin as one's hair shot up from the darkness below. It was the Soul Tearing Spike, one of the Corpse Poison Sect's list of top Lethals!

With his system's timely warning, Aiden had instantly activated his draconic wings, just a moment earlier and charged towards Drake who was in the depths of the hall.

A thin, barely visible Soul Tearing Spike brushed by Aiden, missing him by a bare inch. At the entrance of the hall, many Corpse Poison Sect disciples swarmed in, with rather exotic looking weapons already armed in their hands. From the usual glaives and spears, they were mostly using short hollow narrow tubes. They were blow pipes, one of the few ranged weapons that survived to this era from the ancient times and were mostly used to fire small projectiles like the Soul Tearing Spike, or needles and darts of similar nature.

Unlike disciples of other sects, most of the Corpse Poison Sect disciples were using weapons that were extremely cunning. The only thing they had in common was that they were all coated with poison, reflecting in rainbow colors against the sunlight.

Smirking, as if already expecting such a sight, Aiden smiled before he puffed his chest and roared ferociously towards the cavern's ceiling. His eyes glimmered with vibrant golden luster as the self imposed shackles in his soul spaces were once again unlocked. His full power burst through in the next moment, causing a violent hurricane of wind to shriek with impossible power.

A heavy, invisible veil, an ancient aura, has seemed to have fallen down on the residents on the ram shackled Corpse Poison Sect's main hall, forcing everyone present to kneel down under its mountain-like pressure.

The huge pressure forced each and every disciple regardless of their standing and supposed might first to kneel then to go all the way and lay down on the ground helplessly.

"[Slaric] Miserable worms, how dare you raise your pathetic weapons against me?!" A deep, ancient voice thundered in the hall, causing the Corpse Poison Sect disciples to tremble in terror.

Aiden did not show any mercy at all. He increased the pressure even further by pumping more and more of his rapidly decreasing [Soul Power] into his unfolded Aura.

Whilst he looked like he didn't care, in reality he knew that what he was doing was reckless and also, to be honest rather stupid. He wasn't sure how much time he could have, before the Ancient One would pinpoint his location, if he have not done so already… as such, he wanted to deal with this matter as swiftly as he could.

"[Slaric] Die, worms." Aiden pointed forward and hollered softly.

Right after, the world shook again under the impossible might of his aura.

*Plop!* *Plop!* *Plop!*

The moment they were forced to face the increased pressure, a gruesome scene emerged before Aiden's cold, ruthless gaze.

The stronger of the Corpse Poison Sect's disciples were merely at the later ranks of the Martial Warrior realm. None of them could withstand such a divine power that Aiden was currently constantly emitting. Soon, a bloody mist formed with broken limbs flying everywhere.

The only surviving Corpse Poison Sect disciples had their lives hanging on a thread and could not spare any attention to deal with Aiden anymore. At the same time as he was dealing with this rabble, Aiden summoned his ebony blade, Rygintarth from his soul space.

The sword-shaped marking on his chest glowed with a similarly golden lustrous light for a moment before the fearsome blade, the culler of many lives already once again emerged in this mortal world.

The blade quivered, buzzing with a murderous metallic sound. In that instant, Aiden had already lunged in front of Dorah Kai.

Swinging Ryginarth, he descended from the skies with a loud roar.

"[Slaric] Die!"

Dorah Kai was calm in the face of Aiden's ferocious slash. With a flicker in his eyes, he retreated while flicking his sleeves, spreading a purplish-green powder towards the direction that his young opponent was arriving in.

It was one of the Corpse Poison Sect's Seven Lethals, the Violet Haze Flower Poison!

Throughout history, there had been countless geniuses that were much stronger than the Corpse Poison Sect disciples of the same level. However, many of them died against the Violet Haze Flower Poison as well. It was one of the most fearsome toxins that this world still held within its dying embrace.

Each of the Corpse Poison Sect's Lethals was made by crushing countless corpses and bones and was extremely notorious.

Yet, when facing such a threat, Aiden didn't show any fear or hesitation.

He recalled the sword stance he had learned back in the Metal Tree Grove and retracted his saber before slashing out again!

*Swoosh!*

The sound of a surging tide gushed forth from Rygintarth's blade. A massive tsunami and a Creation force burst forth, as if a massive wave was about to crush down in a terrifying manner!

"[Slaric] Huh?! H-how?! Just… How is that possible?!"

Finally, Dorah Kai's arrogant expression changed as he exclaimed with shock.

While he did not recognize the origin of that sword technique, he could tell that his opponent's attack had already surpassed the first mastery level in the way of the sword and was at the level of force!

This was a level that most Sword Masters could not reach even if they spent their entire lives. Even if they could comprehend the force, almost all of them were late stage Martial Masters or even Martial Grandmasters. The peak powers of this world!

On the one hand, it was because one would achieve indescribable wonders upon reaching such a legendary realm. That was a state of returning to nature and simplifying everything.

On the other hand, it was also because once reaching the limits of this world, it was equivalent to breaking free of the shackles of Heaven and Earth for the first time, allowing a cultivator to gain a tremendous increase in his mortal lifespan.

A sufficiently long lifespan also meant that the Sword Master would have more time and energy to spend on comprehending the Way of Sword, thus gaining enlightenment on the state of force.

Of course, throughout history, there would always be mythical figures, young heroes in every generation who could manage to gain enlightenment of that level even at a much lower realm.

However, those prodigies were extremely rare and each of them were the top paragons of their respective sects and clans.

This young man, this Aiden that was before Dorah Kai was a nobody, a mere vagrant sword user who had arrived from a remote, unknown place in this world, and yet he managed to grow to that state?

Impossible!

Against the Creation force, the Violet Haze Flower Poison powder was blown away completely and there was not a speck to be found on Aiden's body.

Dorah Kai avoided that slash and a look of fear flashed through his eyes.

This annoying young man, this Aiden was far scarier than he had imagined! Dorah Kai found himself stuck in a situation where he was alone without reinforcements.

After realizing the terror of his opponent's strength, Dorah Kai wielded daggers in each hand that shone with a faint green light. Instead of fighting Aiden head-on, he was dodging repeatedly and sending out hidden weapons from time to time just to drag things out.
