Poison God's Heritage-Chapter 555 Reinforcement

Searing, white, and incredibly dizzying pain racked my body from head to toe, feeling nothing but pulverizing pain racking through every organ and member and fiber of my being was not a pleasant experience.

The Golden Titan's Madness wasn't without faults, mainly the fact that you completely fall into madness unable to recognize friend from foe, but that's on purpose, the purpose of falling in madness and denying all and any existence in front of you was mainly to stop this body destroying the sense of anguish that happens when the Titan's body emerges.

The cells on one's body are forced to split and multiply consuming incredible amounts of Qi to do their job, and that comes with the feeling that every bit of your body is getting torn by the passing second.

The madness helps in numbing that pain by focusing it into power and aiming it at anything in front of you. For any other sane man, this pain would instantly kill them or make them go truly insane.

But…

I'm a poison god cultivator, my existence came with pain, brought by pain, and will be led by pain.

The first step in the path of cultivation I took was to be doused in a pool of bone and body-grinding poison, so this pain, although destructive, it was something I was used to.

I slapped my side, and although the sheer size and difference were too incredible to even compare, the side bag on me opened up and revealed a pill that I chomped on. Compared to me, the pill was so small that it wouldn't even fit in the crack between my teeth, but it was potent enough that its effect is instantly felt once I consumed it.

A wave of cool and refreshing energy washed over me, I knew for a fact that this wasn't stopping the pain, no, that was a concentrated and potent numbing drug. It was a type of poison that would numb the body's senses, and would dull the reaction time, but since I was in this form, I had no worries about becoming duller, and I needed the pain reduction to be able to think properly.

The Fire Lord scrunched up his nose, "Better this way, at least I won't be killing a mindless beast! Come!" he shouted.

"How about… no," I said and retreated back, I'm not foolish enough not to see an obvious trap when it's staring me in the eyes, the Fire Lord was preparing something behind his back using the Keys, I was unable to see it since it was behind him, but the several dozen sniper wielding puppets outside the planet had their lenses aimed at him and the situation was reported to me by Y who was accompanying them.

The Queen and Master Rain rushed in, "He is right, this isn't a fight where we'll have to rely on the younger generation! Your time has come to an end Old Flame!" the queen shouted and slapped both hands together "Rend the Soul!"

"I also know soul magic! Mend the Soul!" he shouted back and made half a praying motion using only one palm.

The two soul waves collided and dispersed before several dozen fire butterflies surged forward trying to hamper the Fire Lord's vision.

That was not smart.

"Fool, who dare use Flame Arts in my presence! BURN!" the fire lord's words were a command, and the butterflies blew up one after another in rapid succession and from far below I heard a soul-wrenching wail.

My divine sense flew ahead to realize that Liang Yu wanted to help, and due to the difference in understanding of the Fire Laws, the Fire Lord was able to revert and explode back the laws against her costing her both her eyes and a massive burn on her face and hands at the same time.

Yuyu rushed toward her and used ice energy to stop the burning from spreading, but like a flame that sought to destroy and never be snuffed, more damage was piling up on Liang Yu's body. I was about to get down and help, before Master Rain shouted, "Watch Out!" he said.

"You dare be distracted in my presence!" I heard the words and didn't see the action, because it was too late.

Two massive spears of metal bore right into me one from each of my shoulders pushing me back, while the Fire Lord shot forward with his spear in hand aiming to pierce my heart.

I was in a rough spot, but not too rough to cause me to panic, the Fire Lord's charge instantly ended as he stopped, turned, and swatted several dozen times ahead, "Damn those things are still running rampant!"

It was the puppets, providing cover fire.

That second was enough for me to pull out the massive metal spears that pierced my shoulder, and as I was gazing and trying to understand the properties of this strange metal, it just melted and disappeared from my hand.

The Key…

  The Fire Lord didn't hesitate in using the second key immediately afterward, pointing it at me aiming to blast me to nothingness.

Master Rain then interjected, striking one of his nails on the back with a hammer, sending a reverberation of qi and a surge of sealing inscriptions toward the Fire Lord.

The Fire Lord once again denied using his key to protect himself.

We had the upper hand, we were numerous, bur we're failing to land any damage on the Fire Lord while he's able to freely retaliate using the power of the Keys.

Before I could even think of what to do next, a surge of redness seemed to be coming from the high heavens, looking up I frowned.

"What are they doing here? How did they get past the army of the Fire Lord?

These were people whose cultivation wasn't that high, but still, they lived in a dangerous world and survived it.

And seeing them here made me surprised, and honestly quite intrigued.

The Demon Race and the Poison Sect are followers of the Poison God's teachings. They both arrived on their massive mounts and behind them was a cloud of red moths.

I hated those moths, but seeing them right now is a sign of good fortune.

"Go forth! Glory to the Poison God!" shouted the Poison Sect's sect master.

And with that cultivators and beasts of all kinds came down upon the Fire Lord.

The end result would be obvious to the most oblivious, their attempt at proving their loyalty to the Poison God was respectable, but at the same time, it was no better than bashing an egg against a mountain and expecting a reaction.

I pumped my chest, heaving a massive breath then spat it forward at the fire Lord, this gave me a second to shout.

"Fools! MOVE AWAY!"

The poison gout shot forward and the Fire Lord thought it wise to just burn it to a crisp.

The moment the fire came against the poison it further increased in size and turned to a hot flaming surge of fire that covered the Fire Lord.

"You think I fear the Flames?!"

"No, but this isn't normal fire," I muttered back as the purple-colored flames of the Grizzly Spider took on the heat of the Fire Lord's breath, and the properties of my poison, making itself more potent as it consumed the flames to fuel the poison.

Looking at his high-quality grade armor starting to melt, the Fire Lord realized that he was not in a good spot.

Just as he was about to move aside and leave the Poison Cloud, something slammed right into his back, five massive scars ripped through the Fire Lord's armor, clear and visible to all, these were the scars of a beast.

And not any beast.

"I guess you're here," I muttered.

"Indeed, you seem to be facing a mighty foe," it said.

Right next to me, was the Black Winged Tiger from the Poison Planet.

"Yeah, he isn't easy, with all emperors here, we're still unable to take him down."

"He's able to contend with all of you here, by himself, impressive for a human," said the Tiger.

"I doubt he's human, his ability to control the elements is out of this world, still, I'm not giving up, also where is Kyuu?"

"You'll see, she grew up nicely," said the Black Winged Tiger.

Just as the Fire Lord recovered from the blow, and realized what struck him, and how it was already right next to me, something light and small and fuzzy as a furball appeared right on his shoulder.

He took note of it, and flicked it with a finger, "Disgusting." He said.

Yet, the flick didn't make it budge, in fact, it made it angrier.

The small fur ball seemed to growl, and then before he could even react, his whole body was bent to the side as if suddenly struck by a giant sledgehammer.

Spitting blood, the Fire Lord jumped away trying to analyze what happened.

Yet just as he stopped moving, he looked to his shoulder and the same creature from before was there again.

"This ought to be interesting," spoke the Black Winged Tiger.
