Chapter 1856: Chapter 1856: Ten Thousand Poison Hand

Or to put it more simply, since he started cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book, he has been cultivating both power and physical strength equally.

In the past, aside from normal martial arts cultivation, Xiao Yi also cultivated in the path of body cultivation, but that was dual cultivation.

Dual cultivation and parallel cultivation are two different concepts.

In the past, either his martial arts cultivation was higher, or his physical strength was stronger.

Xiao Yi would automatically choose to cultivate based on his encounters and growth.

However, the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book represents parallel cultivation.

At this moment, his martial arts cultivation realm and physical strength are identical.

The cultivation of the Saint King Realm is also the physical strength of the Saint King Realm.

However, in the past, his physical strength came from cultivating the Asura Battle Body, achieving a perfect body by relying on Asura Power.

Now, his body is filled with astonishing poison.

Underneath the ulcerated flesh, the poison flows, erupting with formidable power.

Within him, there is no longer any Primordial Power, nor any Asura Power.

There is only Poison Power.

This Poison Power can be used for poison dao techniques or for physical eruptions.

Furthermore, in Xiao Yi’s judgement, although the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book is not a genuine body cultivation technique.

The physical strength granted by this poison tempering is absolutely superior to top-tier body cultivation techniques.

Although it can’t surpass the Asura Battle Body, it should be on par with the Emperor Mountain Immortal Body.

After all, Xiao Yi has also observed the Emperor Mountain Immortal Body and can make a comparison.

"Cultivation of both martial and physical paths, Poison Emperor, you are truly mad." Xiao Yi sneered.

This was once the reason he was hesitant to cultivate the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book.

Because this balance is difficult to control.

If it goes out of control, the imbalance between martial and physical paths could easily lead to poison eruption, ending in death.

Xiao Yi currently has lost his cultivation power, but his realm remains.

Thus, under his Peak of Supreme realm, controlling this balance is not too difficult.

Of course, it’s also because there is nothing within him, making this balance easier to maintain.

"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled softly.

However, within the exhale was a bit of poison that could rot the air.

He is now filled with intense poison.

His cultivation is also complete.

His current cultivation is fixed at the Saint King Realm with 999 complete poison daos.

Only one step away from returning to the Saint Emperor Realm.

It must be noted that the Supreme Realm is but the ultimate realm of the Saint Emperor Realm, still within the Saint Emperor Realm.

Once he returns to the Saint Emperor Realm, he won’t be far from regaining his peak strength.

However, the poison power within him is ultimately limited.

It is merely the power left over from the explosion of the Poison Pill.

Moreover, cultivating both martial and body paths consumes a great deal of power.

Therefore, while his cultivation is fixed at the peak of the Saint King Realm, his cultivation power is still exhausted.

However, this does not mean that all the poison attached within his internal organs and limbs has disappeared.

On the contrary, these poisons adhere more severely than before.

In the past, the poison just adhered firmly.

Now, it has directly transformed into Poison Power, becoming one with Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi could not dispel it and had to integrate it completely.

"If I disregard everything and don’t mind descending into madness, I can regain everything, and I don’t care." Xiao Yi’s chilling gaze revealed extreme coldness.

"Ten Thousand Poison Hand." Xiao Yi struck out with a palm.

The seemingly rotting hand slammed heavily onto the ground, yet it was as firm as gold stone.

Under one palm, everything within ten thousand meters was corroded.

Ten Thousand Poison Hand is one of the techniques recorded in the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book.

In Poison Emperor’s theory, all poisons in the world, even the most ordinary, can eventually be transformed into the strongest Poison Evil.

Once all poisons become the strongest Poison Evil, the Ten Thousand Poison Hand is truly achieved.

Inside, it is as firm as gold stone; outside, it poisons everything.

When all poisons become Poison Evil, one palm can poison all of the Eight Desolates.

Deep within the Extreme East, a figure is incessantly flashing and cultivating.

Nobody knows that within this sand and cold wind, a future stronghold of poison that will shake the Central Region is slowly growing.

...

Several hours later, Xiao Yi stopped cultivating.

To achieve the Ten Thousand Poison Hand fully is still far away.

He needs a large amount of poisonous substances.

Cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book likewise requires enormous poisonous cultivation items.

"Cultivation of both martial and body paths is indeed formidable." Xiao Yi smiled confidently.

Originally, this was something he was extremely cautious about.

The Poison Emperor’s theories were too unrealistic.

But after he entered the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, these thoughts vanished.

Because these theories align fundamentally with the Demon Dao.

Asura Palm Poison serves as the Demon Slayer.

The Poison Emperor, despite the title of Emperor, was merely an Earth Extreme Realm Martial Artist in the Eastern Domain.

Compared to the Ancient First Emperor of the Ancient Times, naturally, he is nowhere near comparable.

Yet these two entities, vastly different in cultivation, share similar ideas.

Furthermore, as far as Xiao Yi knows, even the Ancient Emperor couldn’t completely integrate any path with body cultivation.

This is why he left behind 18 prohibitions, hoping for them to continuously fuse on their own, partly to test his theories, partly for later generations to comprehend.

Asura Palm Poison, even the Ancient Emperor couldn’t fully integrate it.

Because, even at the peak of body cultivation, like the Asura Body, it might not withstand the overwhelming invasion of poison.

But now, Xiao Yi has accomplished it.

Moreover, from the look of things now, the Poison Emperor’s theory seems more profound.

The Ancient Emperor separated the cultivation of physical and martial arts, prioritizing the body, then integrating with other martial paths.

Such as Asura Sword, Asura Fire Control, and more.

However, the Poison Emperor cultivated both the physical and martial arts paths equally, starting from scratch, balancing and existing together.

The ultimate body can withstand the overwhelming poison.

Asura Palm Poison serves as the Demon Slayer; meanwhile, the Poison Emperor’s theory of Asura blending poison is evidently superior.

However, it doesn’t mean the Poison Emperor is more formidable than the Ancient Emperor.

In the eyes of the Ancient Emperor, the Poison Emperor might be less significant than an ant.

Moreover, the Ancient Emperor wasn’t limited to the Poison Dao; he aimed to master Sword Dao, Fire Dao, Wind Dao, and every path in existence.

Therefore, the Ancient Emperor had greater "ambitions."

This was the most brilliant entity of the Ancient Times, the point that most earned Xiao Yi’s respect and amazement.

"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled another breath of murky air.

Cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book seems easy.

In reality, the internal agony is not something most people can comprehend or endure.

However, Xiao Yi didn’t frown in the least, so there wasn’t much more to say.

As for the aftereffects of cultivating the Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book...

Xiao Yi frowned; it was ultimately the Poison Dao.

Which poison cultivator isn’t caught in a state between human and ghost?

Not to mention that this Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book demands cultivation with the highest level of Poison Evil directly.

Additionally, much of this Ten Thousand Poison Treasure Book consists of theories and contains many uncertainties.

His terrifying visage, a body like rotting flesh, exhibited no change despite the "recovery" of his cultivation strength.

Instead, it seemed more terrifying due to the poison aura surrounding him.

"Enough." Xiao Yi shook his head.
