Condemning the Heavens

When he was done with a battle, it would be the ideal time for the flower to make a move, and he knew that it was merely a question of time before the Monarch Piranha Flower would take over his body if he did not manage to cultivate fast enough .

Xue Wei took a step, but he almost collapsed as he felt his energy drained .

He sat down and tried to control his breathing, but black dots appeared in front of his eyes, and his body began trembling .

Although he had suppressed the Monarch Piranha Flower, the flower had managed to poison him . The last thing he thought about was how unlucky he was before losing his consciousness .

His friends looked shocked when they saw how he collapsed in front of them, his eyes were closed, and his face was pale .

Lan frowned as well, and without anyone noticing his move, he was suddenly by Xue Wei’s side .

He laid him on his back and lifted his wrist to take his pulse, Lan’s expression turned solemn .

"He is poisoned by the Monarch Piranha Flower," Lan said with a frown . "The flower is not poisonous as such, but it seems that it has consumed his essence blood and somehow mutated . "

"What should we do then?" The others panicked when hearing Lan’s words; their hearts were shaking in fear .

"I am going to help him," Lan said after contemplating for a moment, and a strange golden energy entered Xue Wei’s body .

His body, which had been lying still on the ground, was now convulsing, and sweat was beading on his forehead as he kept twitching .

It was clear that Xue Wei was in pain, an internal battle was being fought within his body . The Monarch Piranha Flower had already retracted, but the poison was putting up a fight against the energy Lan had poured into his body .

Lan was also careful . He was a deity, and he used Ancestral Worldpower, an energy which was domineering and overpowering .

If he had poured too much of it into Xue Wei’s body, then he would have died, but if he had put too little, it would not be able to fight against the poison .

Lan guided the energy through Xue Wei’s meridians, and everywhere the Ancestral Worldpower moved, the poison was slowly being eroded .

Lan was leaning over Xue Wei for the majority of the day, his eyes were solemn and grave, but he was not giving up on trying to save Xue Wei’s life, trying to ensure that the Monarch Piranha Flower did not succeed in taking over his body .

Luoluo, Lin Xiao, Hei Gou, and Bai Tianyi were all standing in a circle around Xue Wei and Lan, but they did not observe his actions; instead, they kept an eye out on the surroundings .

This showed their trust in Lan . Not only did they show their backs to Lan, but they also left Xue Wei in his hands .

After a week had passed, Xue Wei woke up, his eyes were confused, but they quickly cleared up .

Inside his body, he felt another strand of Ancestral Worldpower, which was slightly different from the one that Hui Yue had left in his body . While both of them emitted a horrible and strong dominance, the one Hui Yue had left him was deeper in color and seemed more powerful .

Xue Wei did not know what ranks there were when one became a Deity; he only knew that there was one called God Rank and that there were many ranks above that .

The path of cultivation seemed to have no end; there was always a higher peak, another world, a new rank .

Even for the deities who had eternal life, the path of cultivation was endless, and they needed to use every moment to advance .

Xue Wei had originally been like all the others from the Chang’an Continent, thinking that the Saint tier was the highest rank possible, but then the world opened up for him, and he understood that cultivation was much more than he had thought . It was an endless path, and he was eager to walk down it .

Xue Wei felt as if his entire body was light and full of strength . While he previously had been devoid of energy due to the battle between himself and the Monarch Piranha Flower, but due to the energy that he had been given by Lan when he was removing the poison, he was now bursting with energy .

However, before he had the chance to stand up, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood .

The blood was black, it was the poison that was being thrown out of his system, but while Xue Wei felt much better after getting rid of it, the others were anxious for him .

Lan raised his hand, and they all stopped in their tracks while looking at him worriedly .

"I am fine," Xue Wei said, as he wiped the blood off his lips . "I just had to get rid of the impurities left by the poison . "

Although Xue Wei had been unconscious, he had still heard Lan’s words, and he knew exactly what had happened to him .

He looked at Lan with gratitude in his eyes . "Thank you," he said . Lan nodded his head and smiled . "No worries," he replied .

Seeing the color returning to Xue Wei’s face, and hearing his voice, which sounded normal again, his friends heaved a heavy breath of relief as well . It seemed that Xue Wei had dodged the bullet this time .
