Pocket World Realm!

He broke through?!

The green-robed men were dumbfounded. Everyone in the crowd, from the mighty Immortals down to the ordinary disciples, was staring with their mouths agape, completely stupefied.

They clearly remembered that Jin Sanpang hadn’t even reached Vajra Realm Perfection before. Now, he had directly broken through an entire Great Realm to reach the Void Realm!

How is that possible?!

It was hard to believe, but the truth was right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to accept it.

"The Poison Body! It has to be the Poison Body!"

The experts from the Five Poison Sub-Palace looked thrilled.

They could tell that the black aura coiling around Jin Sanpang was the unique source of poison characteristic of a Poison Body!

"Quick, tell those eight brats to stop! We absolutely cannot let the Poison Body be harmed!"

However, before they could get the message to them, Jin Sanpang, who was inside the Array, made his move.

He swung the giant hammer in his hands, smashing it against the barrier of the Array before him.

BOOM!

CRACK!

A small crack appeared on the Array.

"What?!" The eight green-robed men’s faces changed drastically.

Their Five Poison Array might have been incomplete and not of the highest grade, but it was by no means something a Void Realm cultivator could destroy.

Even a Void Realm cultivator would have a hard time breaking it.

But from the looks of it, Jin Sanpang wasn’t even using his full strength.

"How... How did he do that?" one of the green-robed men asked, his heart trembling in fear. "Why is the Five Poison Array ineffective against him?"

As he spoke, Jin Sanpang smashed his giant hammer against the Array once more.

BOOM! CRACK!

The Array’s barrier shook violently, and another crack appeared.

"This can’t go on! We have to stop him! The Five Poison Array can’t withstand this abuse!" the leader of the green-robed men shouted.

"How do we stop him?"

"Sacrifice our Lifebound Poison Beasts!" The man’s face twisted into a vicious expression.

The others exchanged a look, gritted their teeth, and agreed. "Alright!"

The so-called "sacrificing of a Lifebound Poison Beast" was a technique where a Poison Master would devour their own beast to absorb its power, merging the two into one and gaining an explosive burst of combat strength for a short period.

This way, although the Lifebound Poison Beast would die, it was different from being killed by someone else. The Poison Master themselves would suffer almost no backlash, nor would it damage the foundation of their Martial Dao.

The only downside was that once the beast’s power was depleted, the Poison Master would fall from their pedestal and become an ordinary cultivator again.

However, they could simply find and raise a new Lifebound Poison Beast afterward to re-enter the Domain of Poison Masters.

It was equivalent to a Scattering Skill and starting one’s Cultivation over.

This should have been an extremely risky decision, but they had no more time to think.

The eight men simultaneously formed a special Hand Seal, tapped the center of their foreheads, and let out a soft cry, "Return!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Eight shadows of various shapes broke free from the Five Poison Array, baring their fangs and claws as they flew toward their masters.

"Hm? Don’t you run off, my treasures!"

Seeing the Poisonous Beasts, Jin Sanpang stopped swinging his giant hammer. A black light flickered in his eyes as he let out a low growl at the eight shadows.

Instantly, a black mist so thick it seemed tangible drifted off Jin Sanpang. It ignored the Array’s barrier, overtook the beasts despite starting later, and wrapped around all eight of them.

The Poisonous Beasts immediately grew agitated and began to struggle violently.

But the black mist was formless and intangible; no matter how they thrashed, it was useless.

"We can’t delay any longer! Sacrifice them now!"

The eight green-robed men leaped into the air, heading toward their respective Poisonous Beasts.

As long as they could sacrifice the beasts and absorb their power, they would still have a fighting chance!

Just then, the black mist coiling around the Poisonous Beasts suddenly sprouted countless fine threads that pierced into their bodies.

The Poisonous Beasts’ struggles instantly froze in mid-air.

A tremendous devouring force emanated from the black mist.

The vipers, scorpions, toads, centipedes, and spiders—their bodies withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Eight streams of incredibly potent Energy traveled along the black mist and into Jin Sanpang’s body.

"No!"

The eight green-robed men instantly sensed something was wrong with their beasts. Their eyes nearly splitting from rage, they unhesitatingly burned their True Essence and charged forward at top speed.

But by the time they arrived, the life-flames of the eight Poisonous Beasts had already been extinguished.

PFFT—

As if struck by a heavy blow, all eight men spat out blood and collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength.

Their Poisonous Beasts were dead, and the backlash struck them.

"Break for me!" Jin San roared, raising his hammer high. He focused all his strength into a single point and smashed down violently.

BOOM!

With a tremendous crash, the Five Poison Array shattered into pieces.

Jin Sanpang shouldered his giant hammer, black mist continuously seeping from his body. He radiated a powerful aura, like a Demon Warrior emerging from Hell, inspiring fear in all who saw him.

The entire area fell deathly silent.

The process of Array Breaking sounded complicated, but it had all happened in less than half a minute.

So when Jin Sanpang single-handedly crushed eight experts from the Five Poison Sub-Palace and shattered the Five Poison Array in three strikes, many people still hadn’t processed what had just occurred.

Feng Liang was filled with a mix of complex emotions; he no longer knew what to say.

’At first, I thought that by following Mo Qi, my deeply awakened Taotie Bloodline talent would surely earn his high regard.’

’But now, it seems I was overthinking things.’

’First Liu Hui, and now Jin Sanpang. Any two people picked at random from under Mo Qi’s command were far more outstanding than me.’

’God knows if the others are just as monstrous, or even stronger?’

Thinking this, Feng Liang cautiously glanced over at Qian Duoduo, Li Yuanhao, Wu Bainian, and the others not far away.

He secretly resolved to cultivate diligently so that he would not be weaker than them.

Feng Liang wasn’t the only one with such thoughts. The ancestors of the Feng Family, the Liu Family Immortal, and all the experts from the Huangfu and Xiao Families had realized the same thing.

The Feng and Liu Families were in a relatively good position, as their relationships with Mo Qi were decent.

But the Huangfu and Xiao Families were in a bind. Forget Mo Qi—just Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang alone would bring consequences their two families couldn’t bear once they fully matured.

The experts from the two families looked at each other for a moment, then nodded simultaneously, having reached a silent consensus.

’Once the Sub-Palace exchange ends, we have to kill Mo Qi at all costs during the year-long internal selection period.’

’As long as Mo Qi dies, Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang will surely scatter like monkeys when a tree falls.’

’A dead genius is no longer a genius!’

’Who would remain loyal to a dead man?’

"Pig Emperor, they’re all yours."

The black color in Jin Sanpang’s eyes slowly faded, and the dark aura around him gradually receded. He was once again the same innocent and simple-minded Jin Sanpang.

He performed a horizontal sweep with his hammer, and the resulting gale of wind blew all eight green-robed men—plus the first one—over to Mo Qi.

"Hahaha! Come, come! This Emperor shall first reward you with something good!"

The Pig Emperor jumped down from Mo Qi’s shoulder. It stood upright, balancing on its two hind legs, with its two front limbs clasped behind its back.

Laughing heartily, it took out nine Medicinal Pills and stuffed one into each of the nine men’s mouths.

"You lot are in for a treat! Not only do you get to taste the rations that Mo the kid specially made for this Emperor, but you’ll also have the honor of listening to my teachings."
