Poison God's Heritage

"Incredible," the commentator said. Obvious signs of surprise were painted on his face, he couldn't begin to fathom how someone could remain fully focused and not panicking when faced with these four corpses.

"Not only is Du Shen quite calm in the face of adversary, he is ruthless," Xiao Du said.

"Indeed, to give up some of his finest puppets just to merely push back the corpses is something not even I would have thought about, but it is very awkward. These guys are far stronger than what Du Shen's base should be able to take down… I'm afraid to say it, but I suppose this is intentional," Eccentric Long said.

The words were a direct stab at the authority and faith that people put into the Cryptic Sun. Seen as one of the Eight Suns that hold ultimate authority over Beyond, these guys have always been deemed to be just and fair.

But the truth is as far as the distance from heaven and earth. Even the most benevolent of these Suns have enough blood on their hands to fill a sea. And that cannot come with being merciful or fair.

The Suns have their own failings too, but their power and superiority dictate that they are not only without fault, but also are far above being judged.

If one of the Suns decides to kill someone, nothing should stop him, even other Suns as they don't want to start a blood feud.

Their power is too much for the world to take, and it is always far more worthy to just ignore the unlucky soul than interfere.

However, not in this case, a case where many of the Suns are interested in one person, to have him lose here, by being unfair is not something that will go down without repercussions.

The Cryptic Sun had always had a mind of his own when it comes to worldly matters. He isn't a simple person and his actions had always had a reason. But for the majority of people, they would always fair to see the forest for the trees.

Still, in this case, even the other suns were at a rough edge, unable to understand why the Cryptic Sun was being so unfair to Shen Bao.

"I cannot fathom the thoughts of the Cryptic Sun, and all can see right now is the surface level of his machinations, he may have a goal in mind for Du Shen, but at this rate, not even Du Shen should be able to clear this stage," Eccentric Long said.

"He is still making something though, he never gave up," Xiao Du said.

"Indeed, it does look like he is making a more compact form of those projectile shooting objects. Even though my understanding of Inscriptions is far too little compared to the elites here, I could see that he is creating inscriptions that eliminates friction and increase rotation and speed. Perhaps he wants to make a powerful projectile?" Eccentric Long said.

"Not only that, he imbued the projectiles with a pill of poison, I have no idea what the concoction he made would serve as. I never thought of combining those herbs as they are highly incompatible with each other, they would instantly eliminate each other's properties," Xiao Du said.

"We'll have to wait and see, after all with the speed of his clones, he should be done in matter of minutes. Oh, the corpse he has is already fighting," Eccentric Long pointed out the fight next to the fort.

Looking at the battle, the hopes of the people in Du Shen's victory soon began waning even more. The corpse that was heavily doses up with body enhancing poisons was on the receiving end from the first blow. Taking more damage than it could deliver, and already bleeding heavily.

The enemy corpse was far mightier and stronger, and even faster and sturdier. Du Shen's corpse on the other hand was several realms weaker, and could only fight back because of the enormous amount of enhancing yet destructive poison that it has inside it.

Du Shen then ordered his corpse to retreat before it would be fully destroyed and allowed the enemy corpse to march forward.

The fort proved little to no hindrance to the corpse, as it immediately went inside and started to break every formation in it.

The candle light like hope that the audience had for Du Shen seemed at the verge of being snuffed out.

However, in that time, Du Shen's clones had finalized the weapon. A magical weapon that seemed too frail and too small to be of any use against such a gigantic foe.

He handed it over to one of his puppets and gave it the order to mimic Du Shen's actions.

To aim, lock and then unleash the power within the bullet.

Qi, so much of it gathered at the chamber at the bottom of the barrel, it was so pure and concentrated that you could see the cultivators in the arena have a wide look of shock in their eyes from the sight.

And almost a fraction of a second later, the world turned blinding white.

A ray of light shot from the mouth of the rifle, and went at a speed so far higher than the speed of sound that it already reached, its target before the explosion of the bullet was even heard.

The screen turned white and the audience had to cover their eyes, the loud explosion was forcefully shut down by the commentator in case it would harm low level cultivators.

The mere kickback of the rifle had dislocated the entire shoulder of the puppet and threw the weapon away from it, if it wasn't for Du Shen who anticipated such and intercepted the weapon, it would have probably flown all the way to the other side of the map.

As for the point of impact, it had ripped into the barrier of the corpse so fast that it went through it and into the head of the corpse in less than a fraction of a fraction of a second.

The bullet dug itself deeply into the corpse and suddenly, a muffled explosion happened. It was small at first, enough to bloat the head of the corpse for several arduous moment, then an explosion of epic proportions echoed afterward. As the corpse, inside its own barrier was unable to move from being force out of its own bones and flesh.

The explosion was so mighty that it ripped apart every inch of the corpse turning it into sludge inside its own barrier, before the latter shattered creating a powerful shockwave that spread all around the area.

Half burnt and half mangled pieces of the corpse flew all over the place, leaving nothing but the soles of the corpse's feet on the ground where the rest of it all dematerialized or burnt to a crisp.

Looking at the sight, even the commentator was at a loss of words.

Something this powerful can come out of such a small piece of metal?

"What in god's name is that thing? And he made it in less than a few minutes… if someone were to try and replicate such a weapon…" the commentator didn't even want to finish that line of thought.

If an army or if a force were to get their hands on something like that, it would spill doom to anyone unaware of its power.

The absurdity of such a powerful weapon couldn't be explained in words. Especially how simple it was to make it.

"That won't be possible," said Eccentric Long.

"Why not?"

"Because he never showed how he made it. Most of the crafting was done by his clones and they made sure to hide some of the more intricate links of the inscriptions. Some of the inscriptions there, were things that even I have never seen before. He had probably made his own inscription style, and unless taught by him, no one should be able to learn how to craft something like that.

Also, that wasn't the most interesting part of that weapon, it never was the weapon. But the slug itself, that thing… that was a work of art," Eccentric Long said.

"Care to explain, I probably missed something," The commentator said.

"That projectile, it had two separate pieces in it. The first, which was the head, it was like a probe, it had the poison that Du Shen had created. That poison was what tore through the corpse's barrier. I think Xiao Du would have better time explaining that part. As for the second part, the bottom size of the bullet, that's where the devastation had come.

It also had a piece of Saint Qi inside it, it was like one of his explosives he made, the ones he planted underground, only on a far more detailed level. Able to instantly trigger its entire firepower and detonate it upon impact, creating such a tight and devastating explosion."

The commentator turned to Xiao Du who seemed to be nodding.

"The poison he made, it only took a fraction of a second to contact the barrier before it broke it. No, more like it denied Qi in that point of impact, allowing the rest of the bullet to follow through. With both ends inside, the explosion occurred in a tight space which was the barrier further enhancing its destructive ability.

That is indeed a work of a genius, and he only took minutes to make something like that… quite terrifying," Xiao Du said.

"It seems that he is moving toward another corpse's location, we'll be seeing another explosion I suppose," the commentator said as he pointed at Shen Bao who was rapidly moving toward another puppet to use.
