Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 736: On The Chopping Block

I continued working using the other White Rakshasas I captured. Since I had plenty of them, I could do more testing.

Cruel? Inhumane? Even outright evil, one might think. But to not do so against these things without a soul in them is true evil.

They rob the world of its riches by simply existing, they consume and destroy. And they do not wish to see anything exist but themselves. A mass of heartless murderers that only seek the destruction of everything else but themselves.

Quite a nasty tempered existence if I may say. And if their goal is to destroy all life, then all life's goal must be to kill them.

The testing continued with far better results than I expected.

I needed to make the Underworld Morning Flower poison volatile and airborne, and I was able to do so by mixing it with another Yin-based poison.

But to get there, about ten more white Rakshasas had to be fully drained out of their blood.

I tested all sorts of poisons first, and I could summarize the entire testing in a few words.

Tedious and annoying, but rewarding never less.

Since I not only needed a Poison that was able to interact with the Underworld Morning Flower Poison, I also needed a poison that could assist and aid it in spreading.

Poison and medicine are two faces of the same coin. The dose is what makes the difference. Some poisons are highly incompatible with one another and tend to destroy each other, and that can be medicine in a sense. Some poisons can enhance one another to create an even more potent and deadly poison which was my goal.

The secondary poison I mixed was extracted from the horn of a Crystal Lizard, a common low-toxicity creature that lives in cold regions. The extract from its horn is able to amplify and cause the Underworld Morning Flower Poison to fly in the air and increase its longevity. Allowing it to be spread upon contact to an incredible degree, and for it to stay in the air for a very long time.

With the poison constructed, I consumed it and memorized it within my own soul. Since my Poison Qi is able to replicate any poisons I consumed and recreate them, I'm now able to produce it at any given time.

Once I was done with the consumption of the poison, I brought in a large vat and blew out a frigid, cold, and thick breath into it.

The poison condensed rapidly into liquid form and began filling the vat. After exhausting a bit of my personal poison Qi, the vat was almost full.

I sent it down for the worker puppets at the workshop area of the Pagoda and instructed them to use the poison in the vat to create several bullets and explosive canisters.

They should be able to create a good amount of ammunition for instant use.

The Rakshasas were all belonging to the same race, however, they weren't all going to be affected by the same poison.

The white Rakshasas are at the bottom of the barrel in terms of power, but they are the most numerous. Taking them out using the poison mixture is the safest and surest way to deal with them.

As for these… I said as I turned to the brute that was captured.

It was still impaled with several tungsten rods, unable to move a muscle and stuck on the metallic sheet.

I noticed that its wounds had healed up rapidly and were almost fused back into the rods.

The blood that poured out of the brute was… warmer, it was still cold, but not as cold as the White Rakshasa's blood.

I extracted a bit and used the same poison on it, but the effect was incredibly minor, which was not a good sign.

The temperature required for the Underworld Morning Flower poison needs to be incredibly low almost absolute zero temperature. But this brute actually has warmer blood. So it makes the poison effects low to nonexistent.

But that didn't mean I couldn't deal with it, I'll just have to make another type of poison, not to mention Brutes are a rarer breed.

I began by concocting another poison that works in relatively warmer temperatures. This poison is a sinister one.

Calling it poison is slightly misleading because it is more like a toxin. This one is not extracted from a biological source but rather exists in nature. A Toxin extracted from Azure Frosted Ore. A metal-based material that is highly toxic and can form in the depths of cold mountains.

The toxin extracted from the melted substance is able to sap the Yin qi and reduce the body's internal pressure by an incredible margin. Allowing for the blood to boil instantly.

Sadly I cannot mix it with other poisons as it is very aggressive to bio poisons and is completely neutral with all of the non-bio poisons I have consumed so far.

The poison itself is able to destroy the inside of a brute Rakshasa in seconds, making them bleed out from all orifices and have their bodies turn to sludge.

So after recreating another large portion of this poison from my own blood, I send it down to the lab for it to be applied to bullets and explosive canisters.

Just as I was about to start working on the Silver Rakshasa, Yao Tong, the Queen spoke to me through Divine Sense.

"An interesting creation you have made," she said.

"I thought you'd be cultivating," I said.

"I already recovered enough to be able to move, I cannot push myself further for now," she said.

I understand, since healing the soul and fusing back to her own body would need adjustment time. Rushing this process can cause instability.

The wall leading from her section of the white space where she was recovering and where I'm working on the Rakshasa opened up.

Although it wasn't a long time since she started recovering, right now she was already looking like a hale and healthy person.

She slowly approached the working area and glanced at the mutilated corpses of the Rakshasa all over the lab.

She didn't show any signs of discomfort or unease despite the 'Brutal' sight in front of her.

"How did you manage to capture that?" she asked her eyes locked on the Silver Rakshasa which was fully strapped to the table by dozens of metallic locks and hundreds of weight inscriptions all over its body.

"Gravity, all is equal against the laws of the world. Even the mightiest will be crushed if enough weight is placed upon them," I said.

"Such simplicity…"

"Simple is the way of the world, it is us who make things look difficult," I replied as I finalized the process of 'treating' the brute.

I approached the Silver Rakshasa, who unlike the others was screeching and growling, and even speaking a few words here and there. I don't know if it even understood what it said but it was rambling on.

"I still cannot believe I had lost to this thing," she said.

"Numbers beat courage," I said.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"I saw it, how you stood facing them while protecting the last few members of your home," I said.

"Did they go in peace?" she asked.

"They did," I replied comforting her.

"Isn't it funny, that no matter how you cultivate, work hard, and struggle only for one foolish man's greed to doom an entire civilization, isn't it funny how fickle life can be?" she said.

"I wouldn't say funny, but I understand," I said. "Man is born by greed, after all, lives by it, and will die by it. It is our own nature and will be our own demise, it is ordained for us. And all we can do is live while believing that we can be a better version of ourselves every time we open our eyes," I said.

She smiled saying, "My father would have enjoyed your company, he enjoyed deep conversation such as these. Anyway, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I'm making poison, mass producing it, it should be our only way out of this mess," I said.

"I see, as much as I would like to open a path like what you did when you reached my frozen body…"

"I understand, you don't have enough soul power and it is already damaged enough that trying to use the Bastion to open a path will just kill you. I've seen how your father used his entire life to just move it. That's why I'm doing this. Because I'm not planning on just leaving the bastion, I'm planning on leaving it and not allowing any of these things to follow after us," I said.

She nodded understanding what I meant. These creatures will ruin the land, they must be terminated here before they could ever come in contact with the outside world.

Now that I have two poisons to deal with the Brutes and the White Rakshasa all I'm left with is this fucker… and from the eyes of the Queen, I can understand the hatred she harbors for this one. Although far weaker than her in cultivation, it was still able to take her down at a moment of weakness.

So, let's open it up and see what's inside.
