Chapter 1989 1.1988 Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart
What a remarkable Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin! In the face of danger, she remained calm and used the third level of the *Sacred Fire Scripture*: *Three Powers Transformation - Devouring Heaven and Earth*, unleashing the lower form of the Sacred Fire for protection. Yang Lingzhu used the last of her ten thousand golden rays to weave the "Golden Crow Armor" to drape herself. Yin Lingzhu exhaled Taiyin Yuan Qi, forming the "Jade Toad Qi" for protection.

Even the most venomous spiders could not shake her in the slightest.

"Hmph!" Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, snorted coldly, and her Thousand Silk Poison Hands immediately changed to the eighth move: "Heavenly Net and Earthly Web." The aura enveloped all directions, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest hells, leaving no place to escape.

The Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin, countered each move with the third and final strike: True Flame Decree. She used her fingertips and blood to inscribe ancient divine runes on the two decrees. The Yang Decree Bead summoned the true fire of the sun to descend from the heavens, while the Yin Decree Bead drew forth the cold flames of the moon to break through the earth. With both beads unleashed, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man became fiery domains; wherever the beads passed, the true essence of all things was devoured.

In an instant, true fire descended from the sky, and cold flames surged from the earth. They vowed to burn away the Heavenly Net Binding Thousand Threads Poisonous Hand, the eighth move of the Heavenly Net and Earthly Net, until nothing remained.

Seeing that she was struggling to defend herself, Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, raised the Heavenly Net Binding Technique to the ninth level, achieving the perfect "Heart Silk" realm. Without any movement, a mere thought could transform the energy of heaven and earth into poisonous threads, omnipresent and impossible to defend against. The Thousand Poisonous Threads technique was finally replaced by its ninth form: "Seamless Heart Silk." Wherever her thoughts moved, a domain of silk appeared, binding her very heart without any gaps or weaknesses.

The two had been exchanging blows, progressing gradually. Unexpectedly, Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, launched a sudden attack, abruptly accelerating the flow of her true energy. She directly raised the Heavenly Net Binding technique to the ninth level, unleashing the Inextricable Heart Silk, a move comparable to a deadly technique.

“For example, the mother spider hunts its prey.” Wu Chen explained the internal energy cultivation method of the Spider Flower Manual in one sentence: “First, it weaves a web, and when flying insects fly into the web, touching the web is like touching a heartstring. The mother spider will then follow the trail and spin a cocoon to trap and kill its prey.”

"My lord's intention is that Heavenly Net Binding - Thousand Threads of Poisonous Hands is the first move, Five Poison Escape - Spider Shadow Step is for tracking, and Hundred Flowers Kill - Burning Heart Gu Finger is the final killing move." Master Kumei, the leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, is indeed a renowned figure in the martial arts world. He understood the meaning of the song: "It should be three steps: weaving the web, tracking, and hunting. The poisonous spider hunts its prey."

"That's exactly right." Wu Chen made a decisive move: "Silence, burn away all heart threads!"

The saying goes, "Strike the snake at its vital spot." Once this predatory net is burned down, everything else will be in vain.

"Yes, sir!" Upon Wu Chen's telepathic reminder, Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, immediately unleashed the fourth level of the Sacred Fire Scripture: Four Symbols Return to Origin - Pearl Explosion Galaxy.

The next move is Vermilion Bird Burns the Sky.

The combined attack summons the Vermilion Bird's avatar, its wingspan stretching a thousand miles. The Yin-Yang dual command beads serve as the Vermilion Bird's eyes, unleashing chaotic true flames that scorch the heavens and boil the seas. The two beads can detach from the body to strike, exploding upon contact with the enemy, their power sufficient to severely injure even a celestial immortal.

Admittedly, Hong Xiaocui, the Toad Hall Master and a top martial arts expert, was far from reaching the level of an Earth Immortal. She didn't need the twin pearls to self-destruct; the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven alone was enough to suppress him.

The Vermilion Bird soars into the sky, scorching the heavens and boiling the sea.

Wherever the Chaos True Flame passed, the Heart Silk that Toad Hall Master Hong Xiaocui had painstakingly laid out was completely burned away, and the Boundless Silk Domain that she had painstakingly woven vanished into thin air.

Consumed by the backlash from the collapse of her heart threads, Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. Her face was ashen, and her breath was barely a whisper. She had lost all her previous imposing aura.

"They won?" The situation changed abruptly, catching the onlookers off guard. Previously, Toad Hall Master Hong Xiaocui had repeatedly changed her moves, seizing the initiative. It seemed her Heart Silk Threads, crisscrossing the heavens and earth, had formed the Infinite Silk Domain, ready to bind her prey within and secure victory. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Emei Sect Leader Abbess Jingyin unleashed the fourth level of the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven technique. Borrowing the power of the Four Symbols, she burned away the Infinite Silk Domain.

The Chaos True Flame released by the Vermilion Bird is the Chaos Sacred Flame, one of the "Three Samadhi True Flames," "Red Lotus Karmic Flame," "Heaven-Burning Purple Flame," and "Chaos Sacred Flame"—a flame considered supreme among all fires under heaven. It is capable of both giving birth to chaos and destroying chaos. It is also the most powerful extraordinary flame in the world according to legend. When this flame is unleashed, all other flames submit. It incinerates all things, returning them to chaos.

This caused Hong Xiaocui, the Toad Hall Master who practiced the *Spider Flower Manual*, to suffer one of the three major drawbacks: the calamity of dissipated internal energy. If a practitioner chooses to dissipate their energy voluntarily or is forced to, the yin and yang true energy within their body will become unbalanced, and the accumulated millennia-old yin-heat and cold poison will instantly erupt, turning flesh and blood into pus, leaving no trace of the body—a gruesome death. "Not good!" Wu Chen then realized that the Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Jingyin, had attacked too heavily. Ultimately, Hong Xiaocui, the Toad Hall Master, was merely a martial arts expert, not a cultivator. How could she withstand the attack of four layers of yin-yang dual orders?

It should be noted that Abbess Jingyin, the head of the Emei Sect, has already entered the ranks of immortals and heroes by forming her inner core.

"Xiao Cui!" Seeing that Hong Xiao Cui, the leader of the Toad Hall, was facing the "calamity of dissipated power" and her life was in danger, He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, known as the "Iron-Handed Immortal Ape," decisively ordered, "Quickly, use Ten Thousand Poisons Pierce the Heart!"

"Hiss—" Upon hearing this, even the busybody who had worked hard for the Five Poison Divine Sword couldn't help but gasp.

Almost simultaneously, Wu Chen had already figured out the source: "The secret technique of the Hua Tuo School can stimulate a martial artist's potential and even cause their power to surge. It comes from 'The Seven Princesses of Wuxia: Heavenly Sword and Absolute Blade'."

The story goes that "Eastern Hegemon Blade" Yagyu the Killing God challenged "Heavenly Sword" Dugu Wuji, a pinnacle figure in the Central Plains martial arts world. To enhance Dugu Wuji's strength, his friend, the Ghost Doctor, used the Hua Tuo School's secret technique, "Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart," to double Dugu Wuji's power and allow him to overcome the barrier between life and death. On the day of the decisive battle, Heavenly Sword Dugu Wuji bravely fought against Yagyu the Hegemon Blade, injuring him and forcing him to flee. However, he himself suffered a backlash from the "Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart," resulting in a qi deviation and demonic possession…

He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Cult, also known as "Iron Hand Immortal Ape," and He Hongyao, the "Five Immortal Saintess," leaped onto the stage.

He Hongyao secretly used her internal energy to prolong the life of Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall. "Iron Hand Immortal Ape" He Tieshou extended his mechanical prosthetic hand and plunged it into her heart. He then unleashed his secret technique, "Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart."

Amidst the whirring of the mechanism, the "Poison of Ten Thousand Poisons" stored in the prosthetic arm was injected into the heart meridian of Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, to forcibly prolong her life by using poison to nourish poison.

As if experiencing a final burst of energy before death, Toad Hall Master Hong Xiaocui, her face flushed, slowly awoke: "Thank you, Master, for extending my life."

"Xiao Cui, the outcome is already decided, there's no need to fight anymore," He Hongyao, the "Five Immortal Saintess," hurriedly comforted her from behind.

"No." To everyone's surprise, Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, resolutely refused: "This battle is an excellent opportunity for our Five Poisons Sect to make a name for itself in the martial arts world. It must not be abandoned because of me."

"The Spider Flower Manual has now been broken, what can be done?" He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, also advised, "In the end, 'as long as the green hills remain'."

"Has the leader not heard of 'spider and flower symbiosis'?" Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, asked resolutely.

To master the "Spider Flower Manual," one must first cultivate a symbiotic relationship with the spider and flower. The cultivator's power is inextricably linked to the Five Poison Heavenly Net Spider and the Hundred Gu Thousand-Year Flower. If either of these perishes, at best, one's power will be completely lost; at worst, the toxins within the body will become unbalanced, leading to a fatal backlash. This is one of the three major drawbacks: "mutual dependence."

"Could it be that we will live and die together?" How could He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, not realize this? If they could live together, they would surely die together.

"Just like the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Piercing the Heart' technique used by the cult leader." No one could understand the ambition in the heart of Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall: "To die together with the spider and the flower is also a hidden chapter written in the treasure book."

"How should it be done?" He Tieshou, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, known as "Iron Hand Immortal Ape," hurriedly asked.

Hong Xiaocui, the leader of the Toad Hall, smiled heart-wrenchingly: 'The Spider Emperor weaves the heavens, the Gu Flower defies fate. Nine cycles to poison, a single thought of life and death. The body transforms into heaven and earth, absorbing all miasma. Silk coils through the nine heavens, flowers bloom in the netherworld. A thousand poisons bow their heads, my path is supreme!'
