Wu Shattered Star River

The Demon race possesses a unique ability: they can release black mist. Once this black mist envelops a martial artist, it triggers negative emotions within them.

These emotions include panic, fear, timidity, impulsiveness, mania, bloodlust, and others.

Therefore, when engaging in battle with the Demon race, human martial artists aim to end the fight swiftly once the black mist is released.

If they cannot kill the demons, they retreat. Otherwise, prolonged exposure to the black mist inevitably leads to death.

Now, Jiang Han felt that the purple mist within the Undying Valley was a hundred times more potent than the black mist!

As the black mist intensified, Jiang Han instantly felt his emotions surge violently. Only one thought remained in his mind: to kill. He wanted to tear apart all living creatures nearby.

Having absorbed a significant amount of ghost fire energy in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range, his soul strength was now no weaker than that of the top young masters in the Heavenly Human Realm.

The fact that he instantly lost his composure and rationality upon being enveloped by the dense purple mist demonstrated just how terrifying it was.

What if it were ordinary Heavenly Human Realm cultivators, or even Reincarnation Realm or Mountain Sea Realm cultivators?

If there were a group of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators nearby, they would likely all go mad upon being enveloped by the purple mist.

Then… they would turn on each other, fighting until only one person remained.

"Terrifying!"

The more Jiang Han thought about it, the more frightened he became. However, he did not leave the area enveloped by the purple mist but stood his ground.

He wanted to withstand a wave of it, to see if he could resist the effects of the purple mist.

His body trembled slightly as he reached out and tightly gripped a large tree nearby.

He used his tenacious willpower to control himself, preventing himself from moving erratically. He knew that if he could withstand the initial wave, the purple mist would no longer affect him.

Soon, however, he realized that he had underestimated the power of the purple mist.

After only a few breaths, his eyes turned completely bloodshot, and an overwhelming killing intent emanated from his entire body. His limbs trembled incessantly, and his hands had sunk deep into the tree trunk.

"Ah—!"

After another two breaths, Jiang Han finally couldn't bear it any longer. He roared towards the sky, swinging his massive fist and smashing it fiercely against the tree in front of him.

"Boom!"

The tree trunk was broken in half by his blow, and the tree crashed down. Jiang Han roared again, preparing to charge towards the surrounding area, seeking out living beings to tear apart.

"Buzz~"

At that moment, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron in Jiang Han's sea of consciousness lit up, and a layer of blood-red energy from outside his sea of consciousness was instantly absorbed into the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

Jiang Han's eyes instantly regained their clarity. He looked at the fallen tree nearby, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

He had almost gone berserk just now. If there had been anyone nearby, they would likely have been slaughtered by him.

"The Heavenly Beast Cauldron can actually absorb the energy of the purple mist!"

Jiang Han examined his sea of consciousness, his body and mind slightly relaxing.

He mused that this Heavenly Beast Cauldron was truly a treasure, seemingly capable of absorbing all energy that entered his body. It seemed to automatically protect its master whenever energy threatened to harm him.

Only that pink energy had not been automatically absorbed by the Heavenly Beast Cauldron. Perhaps it was because the pink energy was too weak, its influence too insignificant, that the Heavenly Beast Cauldron did not protect him?

"Eh?"

After the Heavenly Beast Cauldron absorbed the energy of the purple mist, it actually transformed it into a drop of light purple energy. That energy actively fell into his sea of consciousness, slowly merging with it.

"What's this?"

Jiang Han didn't understand what the light purple energy was. He examined his sea of consciousness but found that his soul hadn't been strengthened. He felt somewhat baffled.

"That's not right—"

After a few breaths, Jiang Han's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with joy.

He had discovered a problem: he was still within the range of the purple mist and still felt somewhat agitated and bloodthirsty, but the intensity was significantly reduced compared to before.

In other words!

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron had refined the energy of the purple mist, transforming it into a drop of light purple energy, which weakened the effects of the purple mist on him?

"Good! Let the purple mist become denser, so that the Heavenly Beast Cauldron can transform a few more drops of light purple energy!"

His sea of consciousness had only merged with one drop of light purple energy, and the effects of the purple mist on him had already weakened so much. If he had a few more drops, he would be completely unaffected by the purple mist.

After waiting for several dozen breaths, the purple mist slowly began to dissipate. The purple mist drifted with the wind, constantly moving.

"Chase!"

Jiang Han moved, rushing towards the area where the purple mist was densest.

If someone were to see this, they would probably think Jiang Han had gone mad. Others avoided the terrifying purple mist, but he actively sought it out…

After chasing for a distance, the purple mist did indeed become denser again. More and more purple mist entered Jiang Han's body, and more and more red energy gathered in his sea of consciousness.

After waiting for a moment, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron lit up again, and Jiang Han's bloodshot eyes immediately regained their clarity.

After waiting for a few breaths, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron transformed another drop of light purple energy, dripping it into his sea of consciousness.

"As expected!"

After this drop of energy merged with his sea of consciousness, the effects of the purple mist on Jiang Han decreased again. His eyes sparkled, and his face was filled with joy.

The terror of the purple mist was undeniable. Any martial artist enveloped by the purple mist would be affected, losing their composure, rationality, and even going mad and berserk.

But he was unaffected. If he encountered a powerful enemy, he could simply enter the purple mist area, and he would be almost invincible.

The more Jiang Han thought about it, the more excited he became. He continued to chase after the purple mist, preparing to have the Heavenly Beast Cauldron transform another drop of light purple energy, so that he would be completely unaffected.

Half an incense stick later, Jiang Han walked out of the area enveloped by the purple mist, the third drop of light purple energy having appeared.

He was now completely unafraid of the purple mist, so there was no need to waste any more time.

Black trees, yellow snakes, purple mist!

In Jiang Han's opinion, the most terrifying thing was this purple mist. Now that he was almost unaffected by the purple mist, the dangers of this Undying Valley were nothing to him.

The main problem now was finding the Purple Immortal Lotus!

This ghostly place was filled with forests everywhere, and the terrain felt almost the same. Anyone who came in would probably get lost. They could only wander around aimlessly, and whether they could find natural treasures would depend entirely on luck.

So many people had come in. What if the Purple Immortal Lotus had been found and picked by someone by chance? With hundreds of thousands of martial artists, was he supposed to kill every one he saw?

"A top-grade sacred medicine like the Purple Immortal Lotus should have a powerful being guarding it. Ordinary martial artists probably wouldn't be able to pick it."

Jiang Han could only comfort himself secretly. He began to increase his speed, directly bypassing any areas with black trees or yellow on the ground.

After running for half an hour, he discovered thousands of martial artists, and also found many places with fragments of armor, battle knives, and spatial rings. However, he didn't find a single skeleton.

"Boom boom boom boom~"

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

"I'm going to kill you all!"

After running another hundred miles, Jiang Han heard explosions and roars coming from ahead. He quickly rushed over, and when he saw the purple mist drifting towards him, he sighed slightly.

It seemed that a group of martial artists had been covered by the purple mist. This group was finished; probably only one or two would survive by chance.

As Jiang Han expected, when he rushed into the purple mist area, he found that the battle inside was already coming to an end. Only one of the thirty-odd people was alive; the rest had all died tragically.

The remaining person's legs had been severed. He lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, still waving his battle knife and hacking at a nearby corpse…

"Too cruel!"

Even Jiang Han, who had killed many people over the years, felt somewhat shocked by this scene.

"The higher-ups of the Undying Hall are really scum!"

Jiang Han couldn't help but curse. The Undying Valley didn't need to be opened to the public at all. The disciples of the Undying Hall could just come in and collect the treasures themselves.

By letting these low-level martial artists in, they were completely creating a series of human tragedies.
