I Am Overlord Chapter 1778: Mother Poison Bug

Chapter 1778: Mother Poison Bug

After going deeper into the endless earthly sea, Ming s.h.i.+ and Xiang Shaoyun encountered even more dangers, but the two remained unharmed. Just as they were about to reach their target, they encountered a crisis.

A large cloud of terrifying poison rushed over. This was no regular poison. Rather, it was the mother poison source He Ma had mentioned previously. As the cloud of poison traversed the sea, countless incomparably hard stones were corroded into nothingness.

The floating rocks were all remnants of destroyed planets. Their surviving the destruction and continuing to exist in the endless earthly sea proved how tough they were. They were probably as durable as G.o.d-grade materials. And yet the poison was able to easily corrode the stones into nothing. One could only imagine how terrifying the poison was.

A solemn look covered Ming s.h.i.+'s face as he said, "This is really the mother poison source. This will be troublesome."

Xiang Shaoyun also felt a great sense of danger. The poison felt as if it could even injure his soul.

"Is this the mother poison of all poisons in existence?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Ming s.h.i.+ nodded. "Yes. It is the mother of all poisons. Not even I can afford to touch it. It has been so many years since I last came here. I did not expect that this thing would appear here in my absence. The natural earthly soul is located right behind this cloud of poison."

"Are you sure?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Yes!" said Ming s.h.i.+ firmly.

"Then we'll destroy this place and tear a path to our target," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"No, we can't do that. If we use force, no defense can protect us from the backlash," said Ming s.h.i.+. "Let me think of something. Maybe we can split this cloud. I hope there are no mother poison bugs here, or it will be even more troublesome."

Ming s.h.i.+ spread his fingers, and a powerful forcefield rippled out of him. The forcefield approached the cloud of poison, attempting to dissect the cloud. As a super expert standing at the peak of existence, something like splitting s.p.a.ce and s.h.i.+fting a poisonous cloud was not beyond Ming s.h.i.+'s ability.

But when the poisonous cloud was disturbed, it actually turned berserk. A large part of the cloud even charged at the two. As Ming s.h.i.+ was fully focused on his surroundings, he was the first to sense the disturbance. He exclaimed in fear, "This is bad! There are really mother poison bugs here!"

Sure enough, a black figure immediately shot out of the poisonous cloud, forming countless blades with the poison cloud before unleas.h.i.+ng them upon the two. This attack was comparable to the attack of a super expert. A regular G.o.d would have no way of withstanding it.

Xiang Shaoyun reacted rapidly. The Primal Inception Wall appeared around him as he hurriedly retreated, leaving Ming s.h.i.+ to deal with the incoming attack. Ming s.h.i.+ formed a ma.s.sive devil palm and swatted at the black figure, scattering the poison cloud and crus.h.i.+ng the nearby rocks.

The black figure showed its appearance. It was a ferocious ma.s.sive bug. A pair of green eyes decorated its head alongside two wriggling feelers. Eight limbs grew along its body while its mouth constantly spouted poisonous gas. That was none other than the mother poison bug, the most poisonous life form in existence.

Ming s.h.i.+ aimed his devil palm at the mother poison bug repeatedly, but the bug flickered about rapidly. A terrifying cloud of poison surrounded Ming s.h.i.+, corroding the devilish aura around Ming s.h.i.+, causing his expression to turn solemn. Ming s.h.i.+ was once a Nine Revolutions expert. Thus, he still had an advantage against the mother poison bug. The only thing troubling him was the bug's overbearing poison.

"I refuse to believe I can't crush you to death, bug," said Ming s.h.i.+ as he joined both palms together and formed a cage, binding the poison in it. Additionally, an incomparably heavy suppression descended upon the bug, attempting to crush it to death.

The mother poison bug was worthy of being the most poisonous life form in existence. The poison it spat out became stronger and stronger. The poisonous gas transformed into a furious storm that constantly corroded Ming s.h.i.+'s energy. At the same time, the bug charged Ming s.h.i.+, unleas.h.i.+ng the most potent poison upon him.

Ming s.h.i.+ was infuriated. He was stronger than the bug, yet he couldn't fully defeat it. In his fury, he erupted with all his strength, pus.h.i.+ng the might of his devil palm to the peak, and cracked the bug's sh.e.l.l with one slap. The bug was sent flying far away.

He pressed on and grabbed at the bug with both hands, intending to dig out the poison pearl in the bug. A poison pearl was an extremely poisonous item that was extremely beneficial for poison cultivators.

However, the bug lost all courage after feeling threatened and hurriedly dove back into the cloud of poison. In the most brutish manner possible, Ming s.h.i.+ blasted the area before him, creating a pocket s.p.a.ce and s.h.i.+fting all the poison away.

That action caused the mother poison bug to rage because the poison cloud was its territory. It unleashed all its strength, releasing clump after clump of poison that proceeded to explode. The explosions were disastrous enough that they could kill even Nine Revolutions Realm experts.

Even with Ming s.h.i.+'s strength, his defensive barrier cracked, allowing a tendril of poisonous gas to latch onto his arm. He unhesitatingly cut his arm off, not daring to waste any time. Xiang Shaoyun watched as the arm immediately turned into a mist of blood.

"What a powerful poison!" exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun.

That was the arm of someone in the Nine Revolutions Realm. It was as tough as a G.o.d-grade weapon. Yet merely a tiny bit of poison was enough to corrode it into nothingness. If Ming s.h.i.+ was even a tiny bit slower, would his entire body and even his soul be reduced to nothing?

"Young master, this fellow is slightly troublesome. Please wait a while," transmitted Ming s.h.i.+.

With his strength, he should be able to easily defeat the bug, but to do so, he had to first destroy his surroundings, which were also the bug's natural habitat.

"Step aside. Let me deal with it," said Xiang Shaoyun. A clump of primal chaos flame appeared in his palm. It took the form of a five-colored fireball filled with an incomparably destructive power.

Ming s.h.i.+'s eyes lit up. "Th-this is the primal chaos flame! It's the bane of all poison!"

Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything as he flung the fireball at the bug. The fireball burned all the poison it encountered into nothingness. When it neared the bug, it exploded, lighting the entire cloud of poison on fire. Next, Xiang Shaoyun formed two more primal chaos fireb.a.l.l.s before throwing them out. The cloud of poison was unable to pose any challenge to him.
