BTTH: From Genius to Invincible-Chapter 381: How Dare You Hurt Him

"Half-step Dou Venerate?!"

"Xiao Yan has gone mad! At this rate, his body and soul will collapse before anything else!"

The faces of Elder Qian and Elder Bai changed drastically. Such an increase was utterly impossible! This wasn’t a mere progression from Dou Spirit to Dou King, or from Dou King to Dou Emperor—this was nearly the Dou Venerate realm! Even with Xiao Yan’s Spiritual State at the Soul State, such a terrifying surge would still cause his body to collapse!

The gray vortex of thunderclouds was clearly enraged by Xiao Yan’s ferocious assault. An even more powerful bolt of lightning crashed down from within the vortex, as if embodying the fury of the heavens!

Yet Xiao Yan remained defiant. He had refined the pill to save a life, using entirely legitimate materials and methods. Simply because the person he sought to save was fated to die from the Woeful Poison Body, his efforts were being denied. How could he possibly accept this!

Black energy enveloped his entire body as he let out a furious roar. He showed no trace of fear facing the tribulation lightning that could annihilate any Dou Ancestor with the slightest touch.

Woooo!!!

A colossal black silhouette of a soul emerged behind Xiao Yan. The black demonic figure grasped a giant sword as it confronted the descending gray heavenly lightning.

"Asura Defies the Heavens!"

Everyone thought Xiao Yan had lost his mind when they saw him actually using his own soul to withstand the heavenly lightning!

Soul bodies were inherently most vulnerable to attacks like Heavenly Flames and heavenly lightning. Now, Xiao Yan was attacking with a Soul Skill! This was tantamount to seeking death for the soul—pure suicide!

BOOM!

The black demonic figure slashed down with the most violent and ruthless strike. An unyielding battle intent, proclaiming supremacy over heaven and earth, descended with the sword.

As the sword cleaved downward, the entire world echoed with ghostly wails and wolfish howls. The collision between black and gray, neither color dazzling, did not illuminate the heavens like a grand explosion, yet its terrifying might swept across the land!

This scene was witnessed not only by those in the Inner Academy but also by many in the Outer Academy and even across the Black-Corner Region.

From a distance, it looked as though a colossal black giant wielding a massive sword was defying the heavens themselves.

Even those in distant Xiao City saw it.

Xiao Yan’s father, Xiao Zhan, instantly knew that his son was the one fighting.

"Yan’er... you can do it! You are my pride!"

At this moment, Ya Fei, adorned in a red gown, also sensed something. She gazed at the clash above Jia Nan Academy and bit her upper lip, regretting her own lack of strength.

In that instant of impact, a thunderous shockwave reverberated throughout the Black-Corner Region. Forget the nearby Inner Academy students—even the magical beasts at the region’s edges were frightened into cowering on the ground!

As the two forces collided, they even shattered the sky! The space around the thundercloud cracked open, revealing a fragment of primordial chaos!

Five-colored Pill Lightning was, after all, only equivalent to the strike of a 2-star or 3-star Dou Venerate. If a true 3-star Dou Venerate unleashed a Tian Class Dou Technique, perhaps the entire Inner Academy would have been annihilated.

The true terror of this gray heavenly lightning lay in its power to age and decompose all things. It was a force that even Dou Saints dared not touch.

Xiao Yan wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his lips, and his lips curled slightly. His eyes brightened as he pointed a finger toward the sky above the thundercloud and chuckled, "Just looking at what’s right in front of you won’t do."

Whoosh!

Endless black flames suddenly surged forth from the space above the thundercloud. A black vortex tunnel was abruptly torn open by some unseen force. At this moment, a cute little black cat’s paw lightly tapped, and an eight-colored lotus flame drifted down from the sky as if casually brushed off a table.

The time bought by Elder Qian, Elder Bai, and the First Elder was not in vain; they had secured precious moments for Xiao Yan to merge the Heavenly Flames!

Before the power of the Asura Soul Reaping Technique had fully dissipated, a lotus flame appeared. The space it passed through was scorched and tattered as the lotus descended.

To counter the power of heaven and earth, one must wield the same power. Only then could neither claim superiority over the other!

"Annihilation Lotus Flame, detonate!"

In that instant, the entire world was bathed in dazzling radiance. The eyes of experts across the Black-Corner Region, drawn by the commotion, were blinded as the sky suddenly turned incomparably brilliant!

From a distance, it seemed as if the sky itself had been obliterated. Endless light shone so brightly it was hard to look at directly. Such an explosion resembled the end of the world.

This left everyone in the Black-Corner Region and the Inner Academy trembling in shock. Quite a few of the more timid individuals collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"What’s the outcome? Has the thundercloud been destroyed?!"

"Where is Senior Brother Xiao Yan?!"

The brilliant, eye-catching light lingered for a long time, refusing to disperse. Waves of fire engulfed everything. Forget the naked eye—even Spiritual Strength could not penetrate the situation in the sky. Everyone stood momentarily dumbfounded, unsure of what exactly had transpired.

It all happened too quickly; many of the Inner Academy experts hadn’t even had time to react.

Just as everyone exchanged perplexed glances, awaiting the final result, a sudden change occurred!

A sizzling sound abruptly emanated from within the sea of flames. With a whoosh, a bolt of gray lightning burst forth from the fiery waves, tearing them apart—its target unmistakably Xiao Yan!

"The thundercloud is still there!"

Xiao Yan’s expression shifted drastically. Although the thundercloud in the sky had been partially destroyed, becoming tattered and fragmented, he hadn’t expected that even the eight-colored lotus flame couldn’t completely incinerate it into nothingness!

He gritted his teeth fiercely and hastily used the Heavy Xuan Ruler to block in front of him. The Yin-Yang Twin Fish instantly shielded his body. Though the thundercloud’s power had weakened somewhat, Xiao Yan was already at the end of his rope.

BOOM!

Pfft!

Blood spurted from his mouth. Due to the backlash of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, blood vessels ruptured throughout his body, staining his clothes red and leaving him covered in wounds. It seemed there wasn’t an intact spot left on his entire frame.

CRASH!!

He plummeted from the sky, smashing a massive crater into one of the mountain peaks within the Book Collection Hall’s grounds.

"This is bad!"

"It’s over! Senior Brother Xiao Yan can’t hold on any longer!"

Everyone couldn’t help but feel despair upon witnessing this scene. Some couldn’t even bear to watch and muttered under their breath.

Xiao Yan lay in the massive crater. After unleashing so many techniques beyond his limits, his body could no longer hold out. He watched as the thunderclouds above began to gather once more. With a deafening rumble, the relentless gray heavenly tribulation prepared to strike again.

Just as he gave a bitter smile, resigned to his fate, a graceful white figure suddenly appeared before him.

"How dare you hurt him!"

Facing a Dou Venerate-level attack, and furthermore, a heavenly lightning that could age and decompose all Dou Qi, a force so dreadful that even touching it was impossible, the intervening figure acted without the slightest hesitation. Her jade-like hand, fingers splayed into a claw, directly crushed the gray tribulation lightning!

The power that could rapidly age and decay all things was rendered completely ineffective!

At this moment, a woman stood tall amidst the shattered world and within the depths of the crater. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her beauty was beyond the reach of words.

Little Fairy Doctor turned her head to look at Xiao Yan, who lay collapsed on the ground. He was covered in blood, his body riddled with wounds, looking as fragile as shattered glass, as if he would break at the slightest touch.

"How are you?" Little Fairy Doctor’s face overflowed with concern and heartache as she asked softly.

"I... I’m fine... You... be careful." Xiao Yan’s face was pale. He managed to force his eyes open and insisted he was fine, but exhaustion overwhelmed him as soon as he finished speaking. His eyelids drooped, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing that he had only fainted from exhaustion. She then raised her head, her gaze falling upon the thunderclouds above, now blasted into tatters by Xiao Yan. A flash of ferocity flickered in her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes instantly sharpened. When her gaze turned piercing, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat. It was as if, should she become angry, even the heavens themselves ought to tremble in fear.

Little Fairy Doctor did not roar at this moment, yet everyone could feel her seething fury.

"Damn you!" Her eyes flared with rage as she soared into the sky. Ink-green poison flames wrapped around her five fingers, causing the natural energy to boil and surge.

A Tian Class Dou Technique!

This was a true Tian Class Dou Technique, the Woeful Demon Poison Claw she had inherited from Venerable You Du!

She thrust a claw toward the sky. Five green, fiery claw marks tore through the heavens! Under this claw, everything was poisoned; everything became lethally toxic in an instant!

Within these claw marks, there was no pain, only death!

RUMBLE RUMBLE!!

The gray heavenly lightning descended, but it was futile. All of it was poisoned and neutralized by this single claw.

Ordinary Dou Techniques, even Tian Class ones, were ineffective against this kind of heavenly tribulation. But this was Little Fairy Doctor, who had merged the Ghostly Poison Flame into her Poison Pill and possessed the Woeful Poison Body! The Poison Pill had not nullified the Woeful Poison Body!

If anyone could disregard the power of the heavenly tribulation, it was the possessor of the Woeful Poison Body, a calamity born of heaven and earth itself!

Screeeech!

At that moment, everyone in the Black-Corner Region heard and saw the sky torn open with five gaping wounds!!

"Whoa! The sky’s been ripped apart!!"

Some residents of the Black-Corner Region were so terrified they dropped to their knees. In their entire lives, they had rarely seen even Di Class Dou Techniques, let alone witnessed a true Tian Class Dou Technique!

This was a genuine Tian Class Dou Technique, tearing space itself was as effortless as child’s play.

"No, the thunderclouds above still haven’t disappeared!"

Little Fairy Doctor narrowed her eyes slightly. This Heavenly Punishment was truly tenacious. No wonder there were so few stories of anyone refining a Forbidden Pill; any ordinary person who tried would be doomed to die.

Chirp!

At that moment, she slowly opened her mouth and fully unleashed the Woeful Poison Body. A perfectly round Poison Pill emerged from her lips, finally erupting with its true power!

Ghostly Poison Flame surged from the Poison Pill! A bizarre, enormous creature appeared before everyone’s eyes!
