The Silk Poison Fruit

Chapter 87 The Silk Poison Fruit

"what!"

The dark red-skinned realm lord roared, and countless tiny wounds appeared on his body. Each wound carried a chilling sword aura, preventing it from healing naturally and constantly draining his strength.

The other realm lord was weaker than the one with the dark red skin, and his stamina was depleting faster; he was clearly on the verge of collapse.

The performance of Yao Guang's second son exceeded Gu Ce's expectations. The clothes he wore seemed to be made of some high-grade material, probably no less than Gu Ce's fifth-tier top-grade Force Battle Armor, which neutralized most of the attacks.

"The cold of winter!"

Gu Ce made his move again, unleashing his strongest killing move.

The Lord of Ice Peaks told Gu Ce that there was no need to create secret techniques before breaking through to the Realm Lord level. It would not be too late to create secret techniques when one reached the peak of the Realm Lord level.

Before that, learning other people's secret techniques is enough.

Although the Ice Wasteland Sword Technique isn't considered an extremely powerful sword technique, in short, it's good enough.

The Cloud Sea Sword's dark blue blade gleamed with a cold light.

The countless snowflakes of sword energy around it rippled and instantly condensed into a massive sword energy containing the laws of water and space. This energy merged into the Cloud Sea Sword, coating the sword with a layer of white light and amplifying its power dozens of times.

Swish!

The sword is swung out!

This sword strike was incredibly fast.

The light was so dazzling that the enemy could not see the trajectory of the blade.

The dark red-skinned realm master's expression changed, and a sturdy shield immediately appeared in front of him. He opened his earth domain and shrank behind the shield, attempting to block Gu Ce's sword attack.

"boom!"

Sword energy clashed with shield!

The sheer aura emanating from the body was enough to crush the ordinary realm lord to the ground, leaving almost no part of his body unscathed. The second son of Yao Guang fared slightly better, but his waist was still severely injured and nearly severed at the waist, with only a piece of skin connecting him.

Gu Ce gritted his teeth, glared at his face, and instantly unleashed the secret technique of "Mirage Sea".

"Absolute True Self" has already reached its zenith!

The Mirage Sea Secret Technique, as Gu Ce's only means of soul attack, naturally cannot be easily abandoned.

Currently, Gu Ce's cultivation of the "Mirage Sea" secret technique has only reached the sixth level of "Domain Lord Level Invincible," which is still some distance from the seventh level, which can influence the consciousness of a Realm Lord. However, Gu Ce can't care about that anymore.

"What!" The dark red-skinned realm lord was shocked.

His willpower was much weaker than Gu Ce had imagined. Even with the consciousness of a World Lord, his willpower was probably not even as strong as that of an ordinary Domain Lord in the universe.

Gu Ce's current level of consciousness can be considered to be at the peak of the Realm Lord level.

Coupled with his extremely strong mental fortitude, even though it was only the sixth level of the "Mirage Sea" secret technique, it still affected the dark red-skinned world lord!

Wow!

The consciousness of the dark red-skinned realm lord was instantly swallowed by the pink seawater. The mirage sea suppressed his spirit and corroded his soul.

Wounds to the soul are not so easy to heal.

The dark red-skinned realm lord, trapped in the illusion, became like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Whoosh!"

The dark red-skinned realm lord was killed by Gu Ce with a single sword strike.

Picking up the spatial ring he had dropped, the strange phenomena that had appeared around him due to the sword techniques of the Ice Wasteland World returned to calm. Gu Ce quickly recovered his strength, almost exhausting all the primal energy that was maintaining [No Limits].

Aside from the Void Emperor's Decree, the only valuable item left behind by the dark red-skinned Realm Lord was the shield, which should be equivalent to a low-grade fifth-tier Origin Force weapon, worth a few Mixed Yuan Units.

Gu Ce slowly walked to the side of the remaining two people. The first one to deal with was the second son of Yao Guang.

"You can't kill me!"

Even as death loomed, the second son of Yaoguang remained calm, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed intently on Gu Ce.

"My grandfather is the city lord of Yaoguang City, a peak Realm Lord level expert who possesses the Origin Fire Seed. If you don't kill me, I can find a way to get my grandfather to give you a Holy Flame Sprout!" Yaoguang's second son said, trying to appear calm.

Gu Ce could tell that he was very unsettled.

He seemed worried that Gu Ce wouldn't listen to him and would kill him directly.

"As a member of the Yao Guang family, how come you don't have any Holy Flame flames on your body?" Gu Ce asked, somewhat surprised.

I originally thought that the scions of large families would all have some means of protecting themselves, but it seems that this second son of Yao Guang doesn't have any backup plans.

"According to the ancestral teachings of the Yao Guang family, one must rely on their own strength to break through to the Realm Lord level before they are qualified to obtain a Holy Flame Sprout," explained the second son of Yao Guang. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to a place like this to personally search for a Holy Flame Sprout."

"Is that so? You just said you're the city lord?" Gu Ce asked thoughtfully.

"I'm about to take office in Tianyan Prefecture. What's wrong?" Yao Guang's second son asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. Here, eat this and I'll spare your life." Gu Ce thought of an easier way to obtain the Holy Flame, and even considered the Origin Fire Seed.

"What is this?"

Yao Guang's second son watched as Gu Ce pulled out a purplish-black fruit, subconsciously swallowed, and asked somewhat fearfully.

"Poison. If there's no antidote, even a peak Realm Lord would have to endure excruciating pain if they swallowed it," Gu Ce said casually.

This is not a lie.

Because there was no secret technique for enslaving souls, Gu Ce had made preparations well in advance.

This thing was developed by a pharmacist from the Virtual Universe Company. It is called the Silent Poison Fruit. After eating it, one will suffer soul-tearing pain. It is an excellent choice to replace the secret technique of soul enslavement. The price of just one fruit is 100 Hunyuan units. If it were not because it only takes effect after being eaten, the price would be much higher.

Gu Ce prepared a total of 10 of these fruits.

"...I'll eat it!" Yao Guang's second son said through gritted teeth.

There's no other way but to eat it.

Gu Ce's sword was already at his neck.

Seeing that Yao Guang's second son obediently ate the Silent Poison Fruit, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the other, barely clinging-to-life realm lord.

"My lord! I'd be willing to eat that poisonous fruit too!"

"You?" Gu Ce glanced at the man.

He's not even as good as that dark red-skinned world lord from before; his maximum potential in this life is only around the first or second level of world lord.

"What makes you think you're more valuable than this poisonous fruit?"

This is 100 Mixed Yuan Units!

The sword fell, sending a chill down the spine of Yao Guang's second son.

That's too brutal!

"Big brother, this is the Void Emperor's Token." Yao Guang's second son obediently handed over the Void Emperor's Token.

Gu Ce nodded, having fulfilled the requirement to enter the second level of the Void Emperor's Treasury.

"Here you go, this one isn't poisonous."

After glancing at the severely injured body of Yao Guang's second son, Gu Ce tossed out a Life Fruit.

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Yao Guang's second son swallowed the fruit and immediately felt much better. He came to Gu Ce's side and sincerely thanked him.

Even as a descendant of the Yao Guang family, he had never seen a recovery item of this caliber before.

Gu Ce ignored him and went to the center of the first floor of the Void Emperor's Treasury.

There is a high platform here, with 18 grooves on it, corresponding to the shape of the Void Emperor's Decree.

Place these 18 Void Emperor Tokens into it one by one!

A circular hole appeared in the rock above their heads, and then the ground beneath their feet began to shake, scattering the surrounding soil and medicinal herbs. The platform seemed to be an elevator, carrying the two of them upwards.

Above is the second floor of the Void Emperor's Treasury.

Gu Ce figured that, given the nature of this Void Emperor, there was probably a third level that required certain conditions to be met before one could enter.
