Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 554  Madness

"What is this…" Master Rain's eyes gleaned as he noticed Shen Bao's gigantic form, this form was strangely similar to the titan they met in the Under-Void. But it looks more… powerful, how? Wasn't the Golden Titan far mightier than a low tier emperor? Not only that, he had devised that art, he created it to fight against the Imperials, and now Shen Bao happened to have improved upon it, yet, there is an insanity, a madness in those eyes.

Did Shen Bao only focus on increasing the power output while disregarding sanity? This would prove to be a problem to every party in this war, an insane weapon of mass destruction is on the loose, and it will not stop until its either completely exhausted or dead.

"Pull back everyone back away from Shen Bao!"

Just as Master Rain's words finished registering into everyone's ears, the massive body of Shen Bao disappeared from sight only to appear behind the Creedless, both palms one above and one below clasped down as if squashing a bug.

And the end result was an explosion of Qi that left the body of an Emperor level cultivator far too faster than it could recognize.

"BACK AWAY NOW! OLD NORTH!" Master Rain shouted with all his might as Shen Bao's eyes locked to the closest target who was the Northern King.

Realizing the incoming disaster, the Wind King kicked back, using the full force of the Northern Wind to push him away from the incoming Shen Bao who immediately switched targets to the closest one, who was the Fire Lord.

"COME! I ALWAYS WANTED TO SLAY A GIANT!" shouted the Fire Lord as he puled up a spear that looked to have been forged in the blood of gods and smelted in the fires of hell.

It was a spear that had a jagged and slightly curved blade, it looked more like a tooth on a staff, and the staff itself was made of pure black metal that seemed to have no reason being in this world, for those who know their metal they would understand that this piece of metal was not supposed to belong to the Vast Expanse.

The spear howled as it was brought out to the world, and with a swing came down a force of dragons, flames surged from the spear's tip and came down upon Shen Bao's body, searing and burning his face, neck and chest in one swing and blowing him back miles away.

"TOO WEAK!" called the Fire Lord as he chased after Shen Bao.

The latter's face had been completely burnt off enough that the golden skull of his head was revealed. And two fully seared off eyes suddenly regenerated, red in color bloodshot and wrathful, the titan's burnt body steamed hot and bright as it instantly regenerated, and with a world shattering roar Shen Bao shot forward, green steam empowered by pure corrosive poison shot out of every pore of his body. The cultivators who knew Shen Bao realized that the fumes were bound to be lethal on contact, so all pushed back and away moving as far away as possible form this moving disaster. As for the Fire Lord, he fully trusted the flames surrounding him to burn and sear away any and all poisons and thus the clash continued.

Shen Bao's power was mighty indeed, it was fueled by the Golden Titan's Madness, and art that is used to save one's life, but the cost is one's sanity.

It would remove any and all limiters on one's ability, giving them full control of the latent power of their body, and coupled with the readjustment and genetic recalibration of the Poison God's Body art which pushes the human's muscle structure to its utmost limit, the Golden Titan's Madness was able to pull out an incredible amount of power and might from Shen Bao's body.

His regeneration was fueled by the blood of the Primordial Serpent God, his body was powered by the Poison God's Body Modification, and his power was galvanized by the Golden Titan's Art. A weapon of mass destruction, but unfortunately, with all that power, without his sanity, Shen Bao failed to land a single hit or blow at the Fire Lord.

Every swing was parried, never mind the sheer size difference, the power behind the accurate and immaculately experienced swats of the Fire Lord's spears not only parried Shen Bao's giant fists, they also completely threw away his balance, allowing the Fire Lord to send in jab after infernal jab of his spear, boring holes in Shen Bao's body that seemed to regenerate as fast as they appeared.

"He can't win like this," The Queen said.

"He isn't suppose to, we are, we're the leaders of the generation, we can't rely on the younger generation to fix the corruption we ourselves created!" the Grand Elder said as he moved forward, though the man had lost his left arm he was still biting through the pain and willing to fight.

"We created the Fire Lord, we, our own incompetence made this fiend, he is nothing but a brat having a tantrum when nothing goes his way, and we can't let Shen Bao take care of the mess we created, Old Blue, help me out," said the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder was channeling the remaining of his Qi to bring out the last of his power and fight to the death.

"Wait!" shouted Yuyu as she rushed ahead, "I don't think Shen Bao jumped into this fray knowing that he'll lose, he was never a person to use brute force when he fights, look closely at the back of Shen Bao's neck," she said.

With that statement everyone looked up and noticed that there was something there, grasping tightly.

It was his avatar Shen Mo, but why?

Suddenly all came clear as the spear of the Fire Lord swung down against Shen Bao's fist only for the fist to stop an inch away causing the Fire Lord's swing to completely miss, in that fraction of a second, the fist then continued landing squarely on the Fire Lord's entire body.

"Finally I'm back, man that took a while!"
