"Are you serious?" the Poison Demoness asked.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"What the hell happened to you?" The Poison Demoness was truly baffled. She had a decent relationship with the Barbarian King, as he sold the latter unique poisons that helped him temper his Willpower. However, he suddenly turned on her out of nowhere.
"Aren't you tired of hiding in this tiny place?" Mongke asked. "Force to leave on the little resources and being alienated from the outside world. Well, if you join us, you'll have an opportunity to live freely in the outside world."
"You're really crazy," the Poison Demoness stated.
"So, is that a no?" Mongke asked his voice, his voice no longer as calm and reassuring as it used to be. The two looked at each other from across the mountain, and after a few seconds, the demoness walked away, and the mist completely swallowed the mountain. freēwebnovel.com
Boom!
The mountain trembled as Mongke attacked the arrays. The mountain's defense force activated, releasing thousands of horrifying poisons, but they were useless to him.
'Damn it, I must run away,' the Poison Demoness thought as she quickly flew to her palace at the center of the mountain. Although she was an Empyrean, and a scary one due to her high achievements in the Dao of Poison, body refiners like Mongke were her anti-thesis, rendering her abilities useless.
The demoness heard a terrifying sound from a distance, and she knew the bastard easily dealt with her formation, meaning time was running out. She did not care about all the disciples/slaves around the mountain and activated the power from her palace — which was, in fact, her Empyrean Artifact called the Poison Garden.
The palace turned into a green light that flew into the sky, trying to leave this planet as swiftly as possible. However, the humongous hand of a giant manifested in the void and slapped the palace down, crashing it down to an ocean on the planet.
"Mongke, do you think I'm scared of you? Do you take me for a soft persimmon?" the demoness shrieked, her voice scattering the clouds and agitating the ocean. She immediately summoned the Dao Will Artifact she had spent so much money on from the Azure Sky Pavilion.
Her gaze penetrated the walls to see the intimidating small giant floating outside her palace. The demoness gritted her teeth before going on the offensive:[Lust Poison]. She waved her hand to summon a pink fog that surrounded Mongke. However, the Barbarian King remained calm and composed.
Although the enemy had boosted this poison with a Dao Will Artifact, their utilization of this power was leagues apart. As such, the powerful illusions/projections of beautiful women that he saw meant nothing to him. Additionally, his absolute control over his body prevented him from even reacting to this poison.
'So, this is a distraction?' Mongke thought, so he focused on the Poison Palace. As expected, the latter had applied another poison that could create illusions to hide herself and escape. His eyes turned red as he used his technique, the [War God Eyes], which was excellent for seeing through falsehood.
Mongke then saw everything. Instead of flying out of the planet while he was distracted, the palace hid deep underwater, hoping he would not notice it, forcing him to search for it mindlessly like a chicken who had lost its head. Mongke secretly shook his head before opening his mouth and inhaling; he instantly swallowed all the water and sea life on the ocean, leaving the planet bare.
"You should realize I've been lenient so far, but this is my last warning. Surrender peacefully. Otherwise, I'll start to get rough."
"Do you think this is over? No, this is just the beginning," the Poison Demoness declared with gritted teeth. She knew the poison would not be that effective, but the effects were truly subpar compared to her calculations. The Demoness was proud of this poison. She made the people of this planet so happy to absorb the Six Emotions and Seven Desires from them to cultivate this poison, and yet, it was such a major failure.
She exhaled to calm down. Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to use her last resort. A black, majestic, metallic dragon rushed out of her palace, looking at Mongke with terrifying eyes.
"A metallic dragon?" Mongke asked. The creature was so lifelike, and even its aura was similar to the ones he'd read about. But his eyes quickly saw the truth. "No, this is a puppet, probably the work of the Puppet Demon." Mongke looked at the palace with a strange expression.
"It's common knowledge that the Puppet Demon lusts after your beauty. What did you do for him to build such a thing for you?"
"Bastard, do you want me to claw your eyes out?" The Poison Demoness yelled, almost losing all her composers. "I only promise to owe him a great debt."
"If you say so."
"I'll kill you," she screamed, controlling the dragon to rip the bastard apart. However, Mongke calmly shook his head. "Many people believed the Barbarian Race's contradiction with the Innate Demon Gods was recent, but only a few people know that we used to hunt dragons during the Innate-Acquired War.
"In fact, hunting dragons used to be a part of culture. It was a way for any warrior to prove their might."
