Rebellious Lord of All Realms: Su Chen's Dark Harem

A deadly trap lurks in the poisonous fog-shrouded valley; a miraculous healer appears to avert disaster.The Poison Mist Valley on the outskirts of Suotuo City is shrouded in purple-black Poison Mist year-round. The vegetation is withered, and the air is filled with a pungent, foul odor, yet it is the only place to find ”heart-clearing grass”—this herb can neutralize the coldness of the Soul Locking Curse and is the key for Su Chen to help Xiao Wu completely break the curse.

”Brother Su Chen, it smells so bad here.” Xiao Wu covered her nose, her rabbit ears drooping, and she leaned tightly against Su Chen. Her pink skirt was stained slightly dark by the Poison Mist. ”And this Poison Mist is so powerful; my spirit power is having trouble circulating.”

”Bear with it, the heart-clearing grass is in the depths of the valley.” Su Chen raised his hand to erect a barrier of God-Defying Power for her, insulating them from the erosion of the Poison Mist. His black-gold gaze swept across the surroundings. ”The terrain here is complex; everyone be careful. People from the Spirit Hall might come to cause trouble.”

The phantom of Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flickered, and pink amplification rays enveloped everyone: ”First Spirit Ability: spirit power Amplification! Second Spirit Ability: Defense Amplification! Now everyone can resist the Poison Mist!” She looked up at Su Chen, her tone spoiled but with a hint of seeking credit. ”Brother Su Chen, my support is amazing, right? It’s even more useful than Little Sister Xiao Wu’s Eight Stage Drop!”

”Sister Rongrong, don’t brag!” Xiao Wu pouted. ”When we meet the enemy later, I can take them all out with one Eight Stage Drop!”

Karin took several bottles of detoxifying potion from her bag and distributed them to everyone: ”This is my specially made detoxifying potion; it can temporarily suppress the erosion of the Poison Mist. Lord Su Chen, you should drink an extra bottle; although your God-Defying Power is powerful, you cannot be careless.” As she handed over the medicine, she intentionally brushed against Su Chen’s fingers, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Zhu Zhuqing’s Shadow Soul Power transformed into black shadows, scouting ahead. When she turned back, her eyes were vigilant: ”The Poison Mist ahead is thicker, and I sense several unfamiliar spirit power fluctuations; it should be the people from the Spirit Hall.”

Kushina’s Lightning Release Chakra crackled at her fingertips, her tone haughty: ”Perfect, I didn’t get enough of a fight last time; this time, I’ll let them taste my power!”

Hinata activated her Byakugan, observing the situation ahead: ”Lord Su Chen, there is an ambush fifty meters ahead, eight people in total, all at the Spirit Elder level, and also... the aura of Xiao Ling!”

”Xiao Ling? He actually colluded with the Spirit Hall!” Xiao Wu glared ahead, her rabbit ears standing up. ”That’s too much! Brother Su Chen, let’s teach him a lesson!”

Su Chen’s gaze turned cold—he had long expected that Xiao Ling would not be reconciled, but he did not expect that Xiao Ling would go so far as to collude with the Spirit Hall and use underhanded methods like Poison Mist just to deal with him. ”Don’t be impatient, let’s first see what their plot is.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple-black Poison Mist suddenly surged. Eight black shadows darted out from the darkness. A Spirit Hall deacon led seven Spirit Elders to surround them. Xiao Ling stood at the very back, his Blue Silver Grass Spirit quietly released, his eyes sinister: ”Su Chen, let’s see how you can escape this time! The mist poison of the Poison Mist Valley can weaken spirit power; your God-Defying Power won’t last long!”

”Xiao Ling, you actually colluded with the Spirit Hall, how despicable and shameless!” Ning Rongrong shouted angrily, the light of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda surging. ”Third Spirit Ability: Speed Amplification! Brother Su Chen, I’m amplifying you, go teach them a lesson!”

”Attack! Kill Su Chen, and the Supreme Pontiff will reward you handsomely!” The Spirit Hall deacon sneered. The eight people simultaneously activated their Spirit Abilities, and the Poison Mist intertwined with their Spirit Abilities, forming an airtight attack net that enveloped Su Chen and his group.

”Shadow Protection!” Zhu Zhuqing struck first, her Shadow Soul Power transforming into armor covering her entire body, while simultaneously condensing into a shield to block part of the attack. Kushina’s Lightning Release Chakra blade slashed out, the lightning tearing through the Poison Mist and sending two Spirit Elders flying. Xiao Wu activated her Eight Stage Drop, nimbly weaving between the enemies and slamming a Spirit Elder hard onto the ground.

Su Chen stood in the center, his God-Defying Power barrier blocking the erosion of the Poison Mist. At the same time, he struck back with a palm; a black-gold light flashed, and two Spirit Elders flew backward, spitting blood. However, the mist poison was indeed difficult to deal with; everyone’s spirit power was slowly draining away. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Ning Rongrong’s forehead, and the amplification rays gradually dimmed.

”Lord Su Chen, the mist poison is too strong; my detoxifying potion is almost ineffective!” Karin’s face was pale, and the circulation of her Blood Contract Power was sluggish. ”If this continues, we will be worn down to death!”

Seeing this, Xiao Ling curled his lips into a sinister smile: ”Su Chen, give up! The women around you will all die because of you. Only by submitting to the Spirit Hall can you survive!”

Just then, a soft sound of footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the Poison Mist Valley, and a figure in white slowly walked over. The girl was dressed in a plain white long dress, her long hair reaching her waist, and her appearance was stunningly beautiful. However, she was surrounded by a faint Poison Mist; not only was she unaffected by the mist poison, but she actually made the surrounding Poison Mist even thicker.

”Who is it?” The Spirit Hall deacon looked at the newcomer vigilantly. ”The Spirit Hall is conducting business here; irrelevant people, get lost!”

The girl in white ignored him, her gaze landing on Su Chen. A trace of curiosity flashed in her clear eyes: ”Your power... is very special; you can resist my Poison Mist?” Her voice was soft but carried an inexplicable deterrent force. The Poison Mist around her automatically avoided Su Chen and his group, instead surging toward the people from the Spirit Hall.

”Ah! What is this Poison Mist? It’s ten times more powerful than the mist poison in the valley!” The people from the Spirit Hall screamed instantly, their skin festering and their spirit power dissipating.

Xiao Ling’s expression changed drastically. His Blue Silver Grass grew wildly, trying to block the Poison Mist, but it was instantly corroded by the Poison Mist and turned into ashes. ”Who are you? Why are you helping Su Chen?”

The girl in white did not answer but walked slowly to Su Chen, her eyes falling on Xiao Wu beside him: ”There is a cold curse seal in her body. My poison can temporarily suppress it, but to completely break it, it requires my Poison Body to resonate with your power.” She looked up at Su Chen, her cheeks slightly flushed. ”My name is Xiao Yi Xian. I heard that you can control the God-Defying Power; perhaps... you can help me suppress the Poison Body within me so it doesn’t go out of control.”

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, his black-gold gaze sweeping over the Poison Mist surrounding Xiao Yi Xian—this was the rare Calamity Poison Body, which could manipulate all poisons but would also backfire on its host. He curled his lips into a smile: ”Cooperation is possible, but you must promise me that you will follow me in the future and be my person.”

Xiao Yi Xian’s cheeks turned bright red instantly, and she dodged his gaze in a panic: ”I... I just wanted you to help me suppress the Poison Body; I didn’t say I wanted to...”

”Either we cooperate, or you watch us get worn down to death by the people from the Spirit Hall, and you will never be able to get rid of the trouble of the Poison Body.” Su Chen pressed on step by step, his warm breath brushing against her cheeks. ”Besides, by my side, I won’t let you suffer any grievances, and I can even make your Poison Body your strongest power.”

The people from the Spirit Hall had been almost completely eliminated by Xiao Yi Xian’s Poison Mist. Seeing this, Xiao Ling knew that the situation was lost and turned to flee, but he was entangled by Zhu Zhuqing’s Shadow Soul Power. ”Want to run? It’s not that easy!”

Xiao Yi Xian looked into Su Chen’s deep eyes, then at the friendly Heroines around her, and finally nodded: ”Okay! I promise you, I will follow you from now on, but you must help me suppress the Poison Body!”

”Deal.” Su Chen chuckled, raised his hand to hold her wrist, and his God-Defying Power slowly poured in, helping her sort out the chaotic Poison Body spirit power. ”Now, help us deal with Xiao Ling.”

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, and the Poison Mist around her surged, rushing toward Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling was scared pale and wanted to use his Blue Silver Grass to defend, but it was instantly corroded by the Poison Mist, and he collapsed to the ground, twitching, having lost his combat ability.

After resolving the crisis, Xiao Yi Xian leaned against Su Chen, her face pale but with a smile: ”Your power... really can suppress my Poison Body.”

”In the future, I will help you completely master the Poison Body, making it your weapon instead of a burden.” Su Chen patted her head, his tone doting.

Karin immediately came over, hugged Su Chen’s arm, and said with jealousy: ”Lord Su Chen, another sister has arrived; will you stop loving me in the future?”

”No, you are all my treasures.” Su Chen said with a smile, soothing her.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others also gathered around to welcome Xiao Yi Xian. The Poison Mist in the valley gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone down, illuminating the figures of the group embracing each other.

Su Chen knew that with the addition of Xiao Yi Xian, his harem had gained another important member, and her Calamity Poison Body would also become an important force in confronting the Spirit Hall and the God Realm. Next, as long as they found the heart-clearing grass and helped Xiao Wu completely break the Soul Locking Curse, they could officially begin their exploration of the Star Dou Secret Realm and welcome new challenges and opportunities.
