Martin's voice was heard again, this time more formal and tense. "The contestants are in place! The rules will be read once more! Under your tables are nearly a thousand types of medicinal plants, half of which are poisonous! You have ten minutes to prepare a poison AND write down the antidote recipe! The use of unknown secret poisons is strictly forbidden! Violators will be disqualified and handed over to the authorities!"

    Javon stored the bottle of Holy Water back into his storage ring. “About half of the poison in his body has already been extracted. With a few more treatments, it will be completely gone.”The atmosphere changed instantly.Several family heads nearly laughed in relief. They had never imagined that the disgusting liquid, which had once been the instrument of their enslavement, would become the key to their freedom.“Then don’t waste time! Continue!” one elder urged impatiently.Javon’s gaze froze him in place. “One bottle is only enough for one stage. The Holy Water used just now is fully contaminated with poison. If reused, it could explode and spread poison across the entire city.”The room fell silent.“If you want to be cured, find more Holy Water.”The family heads exchanged glances.They had already reached the limit of three doses. In recent years, Dravaryn had stopped distributing it, afraid they might die before he could continue controlling them.Just as the atmosphere turned

    Javon nodded. “How many times does the poison flare up in a day?”“Twenty times, at minimum,” Raviel replied. “We must always be ready to suppress it with true qi. If we lose focus even slightly, even a Celestial expert could die within a few breaths.”That was not life, it was torture. A ticking time bomb detonating twenty times a day. Normally the poison was not strong enough to kill practitioners above the Nascent Soul Stage.But when it erupted fully, even a Celestial could collapse instantly.The night wind drifted through the hall windows. And now, for the first time, there was a chance they might break free from those invisible chains. Their fate rested in the hands of one man.Javon had just begun to circulate his true qi when sudden pain spread through his entire body. It felt as though his meridians were being torn apart one by one. His bones creaked faintly and his dantian trembled.The side effects of Horizon Abyss had finally come to collect their price.“Master Forger, y

  • Chapter 324. The End of Dravaryn

    Javon’s face hardened. “So you wanted to control the entire Silent Sands through poison?”“Of course. They’re all martial artists. Their true qi slows death. That makes them more useful.” His expression was nearly hysterical. “The gas canisters abandoned in the desert, that was also your doing?”“Yes. Experiments require raw materials. Contaminated leftovers had to be disposed of far from the city. The locals call it the miasma zone.” He chuckled softly. “Do you know how happy I was when I first arrived here and heard Mandarin? It felt as if the world had given me a new testing ground.”His eyes were filled with madness. “All of you are merely stepping stones for the rebirth of the Order of the Grand Sun.”Silence.The desert wind rustled softly. The family heads trembled. At this moment, they had heard the entire truth from his own mouth, and that truth was far more rotten than the poison flowing in their bodies.“Damn your nonsense!”THUD!Javon’s fist smashed into Dravaryn’s face,

  • Chapter 323. The Origin of the Holy Water

    They all knew the answer.If Dravaryn survived and recovered, retaliation would come. And perhaps one of them would be made an example.Raviel suddenly erupted. “I’ll kill you!”His hand shot toward Dravaryn’s throat.But Javon’s voice stopped him. “Wait.”Raviel froze.“I might be able to remove the poison,” Javon Forger said. “But before that, I have a few questions.”Raviel’s eyes widened. “Truly?”“I was just struck by his poison myself. And I’m fine now.”It was true. The toxic mist had already been completely purged by his true qi.Doubt flickered across Raviel’s face.Behind him, the family heads exchanged uneasy glances.“What if he’s lying?”“We’re all poisoned. We can’t act recklessly.”But Raviel slowly shook his head. “We’ve lived like this for decades. If there is even a sliver of hope, we must try.”He looked at Dravaryn with burning hatred. “And even if he truly had an antidote, do you think he would ever give it to us?”No one answered. The desert wind swept through th

  • Chapter 322. No Antidote

    Dravaryn’s face turned pale. Without a second thought, he turned and fled.“Where do you think you’re going?” Half of Javon’s true qi poured into the gigantic sword.BAAAANG!Its speed increased drastically. In the span of a single breath, the massive blade slammed into Dravaryn. His body was driven dozens of miles before finally coming to a stop.SWOOSH!Javon appeared at the impact site. Among the ruins of shattered shops, Dravaryn lay weak. A long gash split his chest down to his abdomen. The lower part of his stomach was even grotesquely pierced through.“Tsk… still alive?”The previous strike had not been his ultimate technique at full power. If it had been unleashed completely, there would have been no body left to look at. He stepped forward, the tip of his sword pressing against the old man’s throat.“Now… you die.”Dravaryn’s breathing was ragged. “Please… show mercy, Sir…”Javon was about to end his life when hurried voices sounded behind him.“Stop!”He turned.More than a

  • Chapter 321.  Blood Essence and the Hundred-Meter Blade

    The roar gradually faded.But the pressure descending from the sky only grew heavier. Waves of force swept across the area like a collapsing mountain. Low-level practitioners who stood too close were instantly crushed, their bodies exploding into clouds of blood before they could even scream.Only Javon remained standing, unmoved.The newcomer hovered in the air. His aura was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, pure, stable, without the aid of any secret technique. Their gazes met.The old man wore a military officer’s uniform from the Javana war era. On his chest and cap gleamed a still-polished national emblem. The moment Javon saw that symbol, fury surged within him.“That’s the former king!”“Wasn’t he dying years ago?”“Get back! They’re going to fight!”The remaining experts retreated immediately. No one dared approach.The old man’s face was cold, sharp as a blade.Dravaryn.He extended his hand.Arken’s lifeless body rose and was drawn into his grasp. When he realize
