Chapter 1959: Source of the Poison

As Yuan ventured deeper, the waters around him grew increasingly murky and dim. The clarity faded into a thick, shadowy haze, and a foul stench began to fill the area, seeping through even the protective barrier around him.

It was the pungent, unmistakable smell of decay, as if he were swimming through water steeped in rot and corruption.

"Heavens… It was nothing like this when we visited this place for the last time a hundred years ago…" The First Elder remarked with a disgusted expression on his face, even pinching his nose, trying to fight off the pungent smell.

"The last time you visited this place was a hundred years ago?" Yuan asked to confirm.

"Yes. Since nobody can venture into this place without fainting, we eventually gave up on exploring this place. We even had people from outside the Azure Dragon Clan attempt it, but the results remained the same."

"Of course, nobody could explain the phenomenon, either. By the way, I am starting to feel my consciousness slipping away, so this is the furthest I can go. Good luck."

The First Elder halted his movements for a second before turning around and walking back to the Azure Dragon Clan's residents.

"I'll see you back at the house," said Yuan before he continued walking even deeper, his Perfect Poison Immunity blocking the effects of the poison every second.

Soon, the waters became so dirty that it was nearly impossible to see anything with his bare eyes, and even his divine sense was of little help.

Since divine sense no longer worked, Yuan had to use divine gaze, which consumed more spiritual and mental energy, but that wasn't a problem for him.

After wandering for days, Yuan eventually noticed something and hurried his pace.

A few moments later, Yuan came upon a massive corpse resting on the seafloor—its presence dark and unsettling.

The remains appeared to belong to some sort of serpent-like creature, but its body was so deformed and ravaged that its original identity was nearly impossible to discern. Twisted flesh, torn scales, and warped bones made it a grotesque shadow of whatever it once was.

At the center of the corpse, nestled deep within its mangled remains, Yuan spotted a large black orb—its surface so dark and smooth that it nearly vanished into the surrounding murky water.

It pulsed faintly, as if absorbing the decay around it, and gave off a presence that felt both unnatural and deeply ominous.

It didn't take even a second before Yuan determined this black orb to be the source of the poison. He carefully picked it up and inspected it.

The poison from it wasn't as deadly as the poisons he'd encountered in the Baneful Dragon's Poisonous Swamp, but it had a really unique property. If he had to compare it to the poison within the swamp, it'd be somewhere in the inner zones.

'This must be a new type of poison, specifically created to mess with the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline. Whoever created this is incredibly skilled.'

Now that Yuan had acquired the source of the poison, he had to deal with it. Fortunately, he had Perfect Poison Immunity and the Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique, which allowed him to absorb and refine the poison. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Although he wanted to bring the poison back to the Azure Dragon Clan to show the Clan Leader and the Three Great Elders as proof, he'd only endanger their lives.
