"Peng!"
Cang Wu's lifeless corpse fell onto the bronze cauldron.
Yi Yun landed as well. He extended his hand and beckoned, causing Cang Wu's interspatial ring to land in his hand. Yi Yun was rather interested in Cang Wu's collection.
Apart from that, Yi Yun saw a jar beside Cang Wu's hand. It was dark green in color and looked like an inferior ceramic product from a random kiln. It was inconspicuous.
Yi Yun held the jar in his hand and found it extremely heavy. The tiny jar seemed to weigh more than a hundred kilograms. There were engravings on the sides of the jar that looked like swimming fish circling an eye.
Yi Yun turned his head and saw that Poison Demon was still high in the sky.
It had been baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, but now, it was barely holding on under Ling Xie'er's attacks. Cang Wu's death did not directly harm it.
Seeing Yi Yun look over, knowing that its master was dead and that there was a girl who looked adorable but was as strong as a tiger, Poison Demon felt despair. It desperately tried to escape, but the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was sealed shut. There was only a space inside that could accommodate a ten-thousand-meter-tall mountain. Furthermore, the jar that housed it was still in Yi Yun's hands. Where could it escape to?
"Xie'er, stop for a moment," said Yi Yun.
Xie'er immediately stopped her attacks. The evil flames that filled the sky dissipated, revealing Poison Demon's true body. It was already charred black from the burns. It was in excruciating pain.
"Come down!"
Yi Yun commanded.
Poison Demon's eyes darted around as it roared a few times, acting as though it did not understand human speech.
"Brother Yi Yun told you to come down. Did you not understand!?" Ling Xie'er's expression turned stiff as the Heretical God Fire Seed in her hand began burning again. It was about to spread towards Poison Demon.
Poison Demon was truly afraid as it hurriedly said, "Don't burn! Don't burn! I'll come down now!"
As Poison Demon spoke, its body shrank and transformed into a ferocious beast in the form of a black tiger. It landed in front of Yi Yun.
It was several times larger than an ordinary tiger. Although it looked ferocious, its eyes were shifty. On one hand, it was afraid of Yi Yun, but on the other, it secretly stared at the jar in Yi Yun's hand.
Yi Yun casually played with the jar. He could sense that it was no ordinary item. Cang Wu must have had quite the opportunity to obtain it.
"What are your origins?"
Yi Yun asked Poison Demon.
"I don't have any background. I'm just a jar of poison that gained sentience."
The Poison Demon gave a simple description. Its voice was very strange. It was loud and deep, and it echoed in the ears like heavy metals hitting each other.
"In that case, you're useless. Xie 'er, burn it!"
Yi Yun sealed the lid of the jar tightly and beckoned to Xie'er.
"Alright, Brother Yi Yun." Xie'er did not hesitate. She burned whoever Yi Yun wanted her to burn.
"Wait! Wait! "Poison Demon jumped in fright and hurriedly said," Don't, you'll regret it if you burn me. "
"You are so weak and you don't have any background. What's there to regret?" Yi Yun said indifferently.
Poison Demon was depressed when he heard this. "You said that I am weak? It was obviously this little girl who was too strong! Besides, fire is the bane of poison. I'm almost burnt to a crisp. If it were any ordinary poison, it would have long been reduced to ashes in the hands of this crazy lass. "
Poison Demon was indignant. Yi Yun smiled faintly. Indeed, fire was the bane of poison to a certain extent. Furthermore, the Heretical God Fire Seed's origins were just too terrifying. Even the Empyrean Cleansing Flame had been devoured by it. It was already quite impressive that Poison Demon could last this long in his battle with Ling Xie'er.
Yi Yun studied the jar in front of him once again. The eye that was surrounded by swimming fishes made Yi Yun take a few more looks. The more he looked at the eye, the more terrifying it became. It was like an abyss that could suck in a person's soul.
"I advise you not to look at it for too long," said Poison Demon suddenly. "Those runic patterns are extremely sinister. If you look at them for too long, your soul will be damaged. You might even lose your mind and forget who you are."
"Oh? Why do you sound like … you are not one with the jar? " Yi Yun looked at Poison Demon. If the jar was one with Poison Demon, and the jar was under Poison Demon's control, there would naturally not be such a warning.
"Since you know it so well, do you know the origins of this jar?" asked Yi Yun again.
Poison Demon was taken aback. It never expected that Yi Yun would be able to discern the hidden meaning behind a casual remark. It was indeed not one with the jar. "This is my home, so I naturally know a little about it."
"I'm asking you about its origins?"
Yi Yun pressed. Poison Demon did not seem willing to mention the jar's origins. It hesitated and did not speak. Yi Yun frowned. "My patience is limited."
Poison Demon finally gave up. It said, "It's actually a bone ash jar …"
"Bone ash?"
Yi Yun was surprised. He never expected it to be a jar used to store bone ash. The jar was of extraordinary quality, but it was used to store bone ash. He did not know who would be so extravagant as to do so.
"Do you know its owner?"
"That I really do not know." Poison Demon shook its head.
"How did you enter the jar?" Asked Yi Yun again. If the bone ash jar was stored in the grave of an important figure, it would likely have a seal on it. Entering the jar was easier said than done.
"I was originally inside. The important figure died in battle. The person who fought him was even more powerful. Furthermore, he was proficient in the art of great poison. After the important figure was poisoned to death, his corpse was cremated. However, there was still some poison left in his ashes. After an unknown period of time, the poison gained sentience. That was me."
Poison Demon revealed its origins like a spilling of beans. It did not wish to talk about it. The main reason was that being born in a bone ash jar did not sound glorious. Previously, when it told Cang Wu about its origins, it mentioned that it was once a Godly Monarch.
Against Yi Yun, it ultimately chose to be honest. Bragging could lead to death.
"It was actually poisoned to death …"
Yi Yun drew a light gasp. He never expected Poison Demon to have such a background. The important figure that used the bone ash jar was already of extraordinary origins. The existence that could kill him was even more terrifying.
The art of great poison cast by that existence was unimaginable. After the important figure was poisoned to death, he was burned by the flames of cremation. A flame that could burn an important figure's corpse was unlikely to be an ordinary flame. However, the poison was not refined and remained in the ashes. After hundreds of millions of years, it had gained sentience.
"Who was the person who cast the art of great poison?"
Asked Yi Yun. He knew that the poisons here were not limited to plant and animal poisons. The art of great poison was also recorded in the divine alchemist's notes. When a world or even a universe was destroyed, it would produce Apocalyptic Fumes. It was a type of poison that could corrode worlds.
