Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Xu Qingzhou's original intention was to come to the top of this peak and have the three of them experience immense gravity and a trace of imperial might, thus reducing their own strength, which would be more advantageous to him.

Because at lower levels, the success rate of challenging opponents of higher levels is higher.

Just like in the Dharma Body Integration Realm, one can kill enemies across three levels, but this is not possible in the Saint Realm.

However, the place was too strange, and Xu Qingzhou did not continue forward after discovering it.

The two people behind him just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so they didn't think much of it and moved forward a little further.

It wasn't until they noticed Xu Qingzhou's solemn expression and the location of his gaze that they belatedly exclaimed in surprise.

"What...what's going on here? Why is this happening?!"

“These bone powders definitely don’t belong to Saint King Realm experts. The bodies of Saint King Realm experts can remain intact for tens of thousands of years without decaying, and their bones can last for hundreds of thousands of years without any problems.”

"Could it be that some unknown Great Sage or True Sage came here before and was wiped out?"

"But why would they come here? Apart from this mountain being exceptionally high, there's nothing particularly special about this place."

The two were puzzled and couldn't figure it out, while also coveting the storage magic treasures and holy weapons.

Seeing that they didn't react, Xu Qingzhou took this opportunity to secretly recover his energy and increase his chances of winning.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered Xu Qingzhou's condition.

"Stop overthinking. This guy is actually taking this opportunity to recuperate. Let's kill him, take these things, and leave this place."

"Yes, yes! The most important thing is to get going quickly."

Since we couldn't figure out this strange place, we quickly grabbed the good stuff and left.

Although they were Saint King level experts, they understood that this was a small world of Emperor level experts, with too many beings threatening their lives, so they had to be careful.

So the two of them came to their senses and immediately took out their sacred weapons, ready to fight.

Xu Qingzhou was also prepared to use secret techniques for defense and counterattack.

However, at that moment, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

"Oh no! I've been poisoned!!"

"Me too!"

"When exactly did this happen?!"

The thick fog surrounding them slowly dissipated, and their normally normal complexions turned red and then black in a short period of time, while their flesh and blood underwent astonishing changes.

Xu Qingzhou could clearly sense that their auras were extremely chaotic, like the changes that occurred before a cultivator self-destructed.

"Come on!"

The moment they realized they had been poisoned, they prepared to leave, but before they could even lift their feet.

"Pfft pfft..."

Both men coughed up a mouthful of black blood, then their vision went black and they collapsed.

Xu Qingzhou could sense that their life force was rapidly fading away, faster than the speed at which he had slashed them several times.

Not only did he die mysteriously, but he also died suddenly; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a violent death.

"They seem to have been poisoned?"

Xu Qingzhou was astonished.

"They are Saint King Realm experts! What kind of poison could be so potent!"

Although he didn't understand, Xu Qingzhou was certain they were poisoned based on their appearance.

Xu Qingzhou just couldn't understand why they, as Saint King Realm experts, were poisoned so silently and with such astonishing speed. By the time they realized they were poisoned, it was already too late; they couldn't even find a different place to die.

Even if their physical bodies were poisoned, their souls and spirits should have been able to escape, but at this moment they were already dead, and even their spirits couldn't escape.

This indicates that the poison targets not only the physical body but also the soul.

However, Xu Qingzhou possesses the Flawless Holy Body, making him immune to all poisons in the world, whether targeting the physical body or the soul; they are ineffective against him.

So Xu Qingzhou arrived before them and was ahead of them, yet nothing happened to him, while they both died suddenly.

Xu Qingzhou never expected things to develop to this point; he was even prepared to use his secret techniques to fight them.

The two Saint King realm experts who died could never have imagined that their glorious lives would lead them to the Saint King realm, a realm that the world would look up to, and that they would become a giant in a continent.

To think that he would die here so inexplicably, without even having the chance to make a will, just dying so quietly.

If Xu Qingzhou hadn't happened to witness this scene, no one would even know where or how they died.

This kind of death is the most humiliating, but fortunately they die quickly, without any time for regret or humiliation; they're gone in an instant.

"It seems that the Saint King realm experts who perished here were all poisoned by this kind of poison."

Xu Qingzhou felt a surge of emotion.

"This poison is not only undetectable to Saint King Realm experts, but it also takes effect in such a short time. It targets both the physical body and the soul. Apart from me, who possesses the Flawless Saint Body, any Saint Realm expert who comes here will face certain death."

"If I had known there was such a place, I would have brought them all here by myself and taken care of them all."

"There's this kind of poison. What exactly is it? If I can take some with me, I can just release it when I encounter an enemy at the Saint King level and easily deal with them."

Just as Xu Qingzhou was considering whether to stay or leave, the corpses of the two Saint Kings suddenly changed again.

"Whoosh..."

Their bodies appeared to have been crushed by powerful beings, their flesh and blood instantly turning into a red mist, leaving only their bone dust, weapons, and storage artifacts behind.

The red mist did not dissipate directly, but was drawn by a force and drifted straight to the center of the mountaintop.

A fist-sized red bead suddenly appeared in what was originally an empty space.

The red mist poured into the red beads, making their color even more vibrant.

"What is this?"

Xu Qingzhou reacted swiftly, raising his hand and conjuring a palm that grabbed the red bead.

Xu Qingzhou did not rashly grab it, but instead used his divine sense to approach and cautiously probe it little by little.

"This place contains such enormous energy!!"

This energy is so great that it could destroy a continent.

Based on what had just happened, Xu Qingzhou was suddenly startled.

"This red mist should be the essence of the cultivation of a Saint King Realm expert. All the Saint King Realm experts who died here turned into red mist and then flowed into the red bead."

The combined cultivation of hundreds of Saint King realm experts would be terrifying; destroying an entire continent would be a piece of cake.

It's likely that even a typical Quasi-Emperor level expert wouldn't be able to withstand this enormous energy in a short period of time.

A question arose in Xu Qingzhou's mind.

"Who made these arrangements, and what was their purpose?"

Just as Xu Qingzhou was wondering, he suddenly made a new discovery inside the red bead.
