Chapter 1727 — Chapter 1727 Fighting Xi Murong

"Che!" Xi Murong sucked his teeth when Yuan could see through his movement technique, but he wasn't too surprised, considering his opponent was a genius from the upper heavens.

Right as Yuan's spear reached him, Xi Murong's speed abruptly increased, and his figure disappeared again.

A split second later, Xi Murong appeared behind Yuan with his dagger diving toward his neck.

[Absolute Penetration]

'No matter how sturdy your body is, this technique will allow me to bypass all of your defenses!'

Sure enough, Xi Murong managed to cut Yuan's skin, but only the tip of his blade managed to penetrate his flesh. Still, he'd managed to make Yuan bleed, an astonishing feat that most wouldn't be able to accomplish.

Yet, Xi Murong wasn't finished. After drawing Yuan's blood, he activated another skill that injected poison directly into Yuan's body through the dagger and his wound.

Xi Murong quickly distanced himself afterward. Realizing that Xi Murong had poisoned him, Yuan decided to play along and pretended to be affected.

"W-what did you do to my body?!"

"I just poisoned you with a deadly poison that will melt your internal organs. You'll experience excruciating pain for a bit, but you won't die because of the formation." Xi Murong announced proudly.

"Ah!" Yuan fell to his knees and began trembling and screaming in pain.

"Hahaha! This is what happens when you underestimate us! Know your place!" Xi Murong laughed loudly.

The spectators were in shock, and they began to believe that Xi Murong had won the fight.

However, Kelan suddenly shouted, "You fool! You're the one who is underestimating him! Check his body with divine sense!"

"What?" Xi Murong frowned and probed Yuan with his divine sense.

"M-my poison is gone?! Where did it go?!"

At this point, Yuan stopped pretending to claw at his body from the pain and calmly stood back up.

"Your poison? My poison immunity dealt with it the second it entered my body." Yuan casually explained.

"Poison immunity?!" Xi Murong and the others exclaimed in shock.

Poison immunity was one of the most tedious and painful immunities to attain, so it came as a great shock that someone so young had managed to attain such immunity.

"He has not only Fire Harmony but also poison immunity at that age…" Kelan's expression turned solemn, looking like he was pondering something.

Unbeknownst to Kelan, Yuan's poison immunity had reached the maximum level, just like his fire immunity. Otherwise, his reaction would've been a lot more exaggerated.

"Y-you!" Xi Murong was speechless, but above all, he felt embarrassed.

He instinctively pounced at Yuan, as if to combat his embarrassment.

"You were so composed just moments ago, but all it took was a little act to completely break you? You still have lots to work on." Yuan commented as he casually dodged Xi Murong before thrusting his spear at him.

"Agh!"

Xi Murong made a funny expression when Yuan's spear dug into his neck. However, Yuan wasn't done and infused a tiny amount of his chaotic essence into his spear.

The moment Xi Murong sensed Yuan's chaotic essence, it felt as if he suddenly standing before death's door.

'Ah… I'm dead…'

This was all Xi Murong could think of before falling unconscious.

"You're not going to take him away this time?" Yuan looked at Li Jinxi, who wore a deep frown on her face.

"Too scared to approach me? Fine. Let me help you." Yuan used his foot to pick up Xi Murong's body before gently tossing him at Li Jinxi.

"W-what was that energy?! It's so chaotic!"

"It resembles killing intent, but it also feels different. It's like a mortal standing before a god-like beast. Is this due to his unique cultivation technique?"

The spectators speculated the origin of Yuan's chaotic essence, but none of them had ever sensed something so foreign.

Only Kelan could somewhat identify his chaotic essence.

'It's similar to the chaotic energy typically found in the Primordial Chaos and other places inhabitable by humans! Don't tell me his family has managed to create a cultivation technique that allows them to cultivate that chaotic energy?!' The shock Kelan was experiencing right now was far more than when he realized Yuan had Fire Harmony.

If a cultivation technique that allowed one to cultivate chaotic energy was truly out there, it would change the entire landscape of the cultivation world! It could even usher in a new age of cultivation!

'This man… I must get him to join the Celestial Overlords at all costs!' Kelan secretly contacted Senior Bai through a communication jade slip meant for emergencies. When Senior Bai answered, Kelan explained the whole situation to him.

"We must acquire this man at all costs! He will definitely play a massive role in the cultivation world in the future! His potential is even higher than that of Yuan's!"

"Potential higher than Yuan? That is very hard to believe, but I will take your word and notify Lady Xu."

Unbeknownst to Kelan, his actions would end up sparking a war within the Celestial Overlords.

After their conversation ended, Senior Bai revealed the details of their conversation to the individuals with unfathomably deep cultivation before him.

Senior Bai was coincidentally in the middle of a meeting with most of the upper echelons of the Celestial Overlords when Kelan called, and everyone there was at least within the rank of Overlord, meaning several Celestial Overlords were present as well.

Knowing Kelan would only use the emergency contact when it involved Yuan or his friends, Xu Jiaqi allowed Senior Bai to accept the call.

"A monster from a hidden family who, while not even at the age of thirty, has cultivated Fire Harmony, poison immunity, and an extreme physique? He might also have a cultivation technique that allows him to cultivate Chaos Qi? Does Kelan really expect us to believe such a mythical being exists? Talk about being delusional! Ahahaha!!" A bulky man laughed out loud after hearing the information.

"Regardless of its believability, we should still send someone to verify this information and check out the individual. If this individual turns out to be as formidable as Kelan claimed, we might have another Celestial Overlord in the future." Another individual spoke.

"Who should we send?" The Overlords there turned to look at the three Celestial Overlords before them.
