Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Poison Saint Space, Poison Fire LocationThe flying boat lowered its altitude, cautiously entering the depths of the Ancient Poison Marsh.

The scene below became increasingly eerie.

The dark green marsh slowly writhed like a colossal living creature, and colorful poisonous mist, like layers of gauze, obscured vision and Soul perception.

The sweet and putrid scent in the air grew heavier; even with the flying boat’s protection, it subtly seeped in, causing dizziness.

”This cursed place is truly uncomfortable to stay in for long.”

Cao Ying wrinkled her delicate nose, and a wisp of green flame danced on her fingertip. The heat of the Green Lotus Core Flame spread out.

It made a ’sizzle’ sound as it scorched the poisonous mist attempting to corrode the flying boat, dispelling some of the discomfort.

”According to the map, there are three marked points not far ahead.” Shen Wen controlled the flying boat, his gaze sweeping below.

Xiao Yi Xian closed her eyes, concentrating, sensing with all her might.

Her Calamity Poison Body seemed to activate in this place, emitting a faint grey-purple glow around her.

”Left! The toxicity there... is extremely dense. There should be a considerable poison vein underground.”

She suddenly opened her eyes, pointing in a direction, her tone filled with certainty.

The flying boat immediately turned. Indeed, the closer they got to that area, the deeper the color of the marsh became, and the bubbles that emerged carried an eerie, faint glow.

”Roar!”

Suddenly, the marsh exploded, and several tentacles covered in mucus and hard scales violently lashed out at the flying boat!

A Rank 6 poisonous beast, shaped like an octopus but with a ferocious maw, detected the intruders and attacked.

”Hmph!”

Cai Lin snorted coldly. Though pregnant, her Dou Zong prestige would not be challenged.

She didn’t even stand up, merely flicked a finger, and a condensed stream of Seven-Colored Dou Qi shot out like a sharp arrow.

”Pfft!”

The Seven-Colored Dou Qi accurately pierced through the core of the poisonous beast, killing it instantly. Its massive corpse sank into the marsh, leaving only a murky disturbance.

”Sister Cai Lin, are you alright?” Xiao Yi Xian asked with concern.

”It’s nothing, merely a Rank 6.” Cai Lin said indifferently, her hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen again, her eyes softening for a moment.

Shen Wen glanced at Cai Lin, confirmed she was fine, then flew down.

He repeated the process.

From near the poisonous beast’s lair, he once again collected a faint wisp of residual Netherworld Poison Flame Qi.

For nearly the next two months, they traveled through various parts of the poison marsh, guided by the map and Xiao Yi Xian’s senses.

They encountered swarms of moths that could spit corrosive venom and were ambushed by giant pythons hidden beneath the mire.

Cao Ying’s abnormal flame became the best defensive barrier, while Cai Lin’s occasional Take action completely eliminated the threat of high-rank poisonous beasts.

Shen Wen absorbed the collected wisps of Qi into his body, using the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol to initially refine and Fuse them.

He could feel that the ancestral talisman’s perception of the Netherworld Poison Flame was gradually strengthening, even vaguely sensing a faint, almost imperceptible tremor from the Origin of the poison flame in the far distance.

Relying on the Flame Ancestral Symbol’s perception of those lingering wisps of Qi, and Xiao Yi Xian’s keen guidance of the poison veins.

After several days of traversing the vast poison marsh, the flying boat finally arrived at a mountain range completely enveloped by a thick, impenetrable, colorful poisonous miasma.

”This is it.” Shen Wen stood at the bow, his gaze sharply penetrating the poisonous mist, looking into the depths of the valley. ”The poison flame Qi inside is denser and... more ancient than any place we’ve encountered before.”

Cao Ying controlled the Green Lotus Core Flame, once again forcing back the poisonous miasma that attempted to entwine the flying boat.

”The toxicity here is terrifyingly fierce. If not for the abnormal flame protecting us, even a Dou Huang wouldn’t dare to easily step foot here.”

The flying boat cautiously entered the valley. The scene inside was startling; all the rocks and soil displayed a dark hue from prolonged erosion by potent poison, and the air was filled with a chilling Qi that made one’s Soul ache.

At the deepest part of the valley.

In a relatively open area, space was abnormally distorted, and a visible energy barrier, emitting a deep, faint glow, like an inverted bowl, firmly sealed off the core area.

Xiao Yi Xian tried to approach. The Calamity Poison power within her body spontaneously boiled, creating a strong resonance with the barrier, but the barrier only rippled slightly, showing no sign of opening.

”No,”

Xiao Yi Xian withdrew her hand, shaking her head, her face showing confusion and a hint of frustration.

”My poison power can trigger it, but it seems... something crucial is missing. I can’t shake it at all.”

Shen Wen stepped forward and reached out to touch the glowing barrier. The power of the space ancestral talisman flowed naturally, allowing him to instantly perceive the essence of the barrier.

He frowned deeply, slowly withdrew his hand, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

”This isn’t an ordinary energy barrier.

This is a spatial barrier laid down by an ancient powerhouse, very likely an existence who Cultivated the Calamity Poison Body to an extremely high Realm. Inside should be a small space.”

”Small space, could it be a Dou Sheng?” Cao Ying exclaimed, astonished that there was a Dou Sheng Legacy deep within this Ancient Poison Marsh.

”It should be.”

Shen Wen nodded.

”The rules contained within this barrier are very clear... to open it.

Not only does one need to completely control the Netherworld Poison Flame, but the opener’s Calamity Poison Body Cultivation must also reach at least... the Dou Zun Realm.”

”Dou Zun?!” Cao Ying gasped in surprise, her enchanting face filled with shock. ”These requirements are too stringent!”

”It seems this was indeed the long-term habitat of the Netherworld Poison Flame. But it’s more likely that it once had an owner.

That owner was an peerless powerhouse who Cultivated the Calamity Poison Body to above Dou Zun. The name ’Poison Saint’ might not be a false rumor.”

”We can’t enter for now.

Dou Zun... and controlling the Netherworld Poison Flame, the Legacy left by this Senior is not something we can forcibly access right now.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, softly saying:

”I’m sorry, husband, I’m too useless...”

Shen Wen walked over to her, gently patted her shoulder, his tone gentle yet firm.

”Once we find the Netherworld Poison Flame, it’ll be easy for you to Cultivate to Dou Zun. When that time comes, it won’t be difficult for us to return.”

He changed the subject, a smile appearing on his face.

”However, we didn’t come here in vain!

Outside this barrier, the residual Origin Qi of the Netherworld Poison Flame is so dense it’s almost tangible.

What we collected before, compared to this, is like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon.”

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the feedback from the Flame Ancestral Symbol within his body.

The ancestral talisman’s light flowed, like the most skilled Alchemist, carefully sorting, Fusing, and refining these homologous but scattered wisps of Qi.

A blurry map gradually became clear in his consciousness. Finally, all the pointers converged towards a specific underground location deep within the poison marsh.

”Found it!”
