"It seems like the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs aren't that strong at the edge of the Corpse Burial Ocean. Although we've exhausted a lot of our strength, we don't feel too much pressure."
"If that's the case, we won't be able to achieve the effect of the trial. Why don't we go deeper and deeper? When we reach a stage where we can't contend with them, we'll quickly return. What do you all think?"
Jiao Qingyun said.
"I think it's fine."
Min Yi was the first to agree. She was worried that the others wouldn't go deeper because of her cultivation.
The others didn't have any objections. Thus, they quickly moved towards the center of the Corpse Burial Ocean.
It didn't take long for Luo Ping and the others to encounter another wave of Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs. This time, the frogs were stronger than before. If they wanted to kill them successfully, they would need to use stronger attacks.
Even so, they still managed to kill the frogs after a series of fierce attacks. Then, they continued moving towards the center.
After that, they would encounter another wave of Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs every few dozen li. It seemed like these frogs had a fixed location.
While Luo Ping's group of nine killed the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog over and over again, the other disciples of the Exquisite Divine Sect were doing the same thing.
Because they already knew the danger of the Corpse Burial Ocean, these disciples had formed teams before entering the Corpse Burial Ocean. Some were in groups of three, some were in groups of seven or eight. In short, they rarely acted alone.
Of course, there were exceptions. As the person with the highest cultivation among them, Dou Jun didn't group up with the others. Instead, he killed the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs alone.
He held the flute from before in his hand. Whenever he encountered a Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog, he would blow the flute and release a sound attack, turning the frogs into ashes.
His defensive immortal armor allowed him to go deeper into the Corpse Burial Ocean without any worries. Before long, he was less than a thousand li away from the center of the Corpse Burial Ocean.
The Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs in this position were very strong. Even with Dou Jun's Profound Immortal strength, it was very difficult to kill them.
In just a short time, he was surrounded by many Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs. He had no choice but to take out another jade flute and control the two immortal artifacts to attack at the same time.
As the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs spat out venom, they also shot out their tongues like sharp swords. They danced and clashed with Dou Jun's sonic attack.
"The Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog at this location is already so strong. If we get closer to the center, it will probably be even more dangerous. Alright, should we continue?"
While Dou Jun was fighting, he couldn't make up his mind.
After all, the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog he would encounter would definitely be even more powerful if he continued to venture deeper. This was especially true for the venom it released. At this moment, his defensive immortal armor had already sensed a great danger from the web, and its power was rapidly draining away.
After all, this wave of Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs had yet to be dealt with. Therefore, Dou Jun chose to continue thinking as he fought.
The other disciples had all ventured deeper into the sea to varying degrees. After all, they were here to train. Naturally, they had to feel the great pressure of the battle.
As they continued to venture deeper, there were naturally casualties. Some of the weaker disciples had their defensive enchantments broken by the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog's venom attack. They turned into a pool of blood and merged into the sea.
Even so, the other disciples were still fearless. They continued to venture deeper into the center. They only chose to stop when they knew that it would be very difficult for them to resist.
Luo Ping's group of nine had ventured deeper for a period of time. At this moment, they were only about a thousand li away from the center of the Corpse Burial Sea. Facing the attacks of the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog, they already felt great pressure.
Because Min Yi's cultivation was relatively low, he was protected in the middle by everyone. He wouldn't be attacked by the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog, and he could also take the initiative to attack the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog.
Although the nine of them cooperated very well, and their combined attack and defense were very powerful, they still felt great pressure when facing the greatly increased strength of the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog.
"The venom of these Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs is indeed very poisonous. If it weren't for my strong physical body and the Bright Netherworld Heart Sutra's help to purify the venom, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to continue absorbing the venom for so long."
Luo Ping sighed in his heart.
After a few battles, he began to absorb the venom released by the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog. Relying on the Bright Netherworld Heart Sutra's healing ability and the ability to purify the venom, he successfully neutralized the venom's toxicity.
However, as the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog's cultivation continued to increase, the venom it released also became more and more poisonous. It was already difficult for him to neutralize it.
However, it was already very difficult for him to absorb it for so long. After all, the venom released by these Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs was the most potent venom he had ever come into contact with.
Now that he had absorbed so much of it, it had been successfully integrated into his body, allowing his body to develop a strong resistance.
If it weren't for the fact that the Bright Netherworld Heart Sutra's neutralization speed couldn't keep up, he would have continued to absorb it.
In addition to Luo Ping, there was another person who was also absorbing the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog's venom. This person was naturally Jiao Qingshan, who had the innate poison body.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't have dared to do this. However, previously in the Seven Evils Mountains, he had obtained the Poison Dao inheritance of the Seven Ultimate Evil Lord and grasped the method to cultivate the Poison Dao.
Now that he had entered the Corpse Burial Sea and faced so many Hundred-Eyed Poison Frogs, he could use them to cultivate the Poison Dao.
As he circulated his cultivation method, the venom absorbed into his body suddenly became very docile. Under the envelopment of his Celestial Origin Energy, the venom was gradually refined and integrated into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
After a period of absorption and refinement, Jiao Qingshan's body was completely filled with the venom. However, because the venom was very weak, it didn't cause any harm to him.
On the contrary, the weakened venom was imperceptibly changing his body's condition, allowing him to develop a strong resistance to the venom.
This was just absorbing a portion of the venom. If he continued to absorb other venoms in the future, his body would become impervious to all venoms.
Moreover, he also had the rare innate poison body. Once he successfully activated his special constitution, it would produce unexpected results. He would be able to suppress and control many sources of venom.
However, Jiao Qingshan was now facing the same problem as Luo Ping. His cultivation method couldn't keep up with the speed of weakening the venom. If he continued to absorb the venom, it was very likely that he would be poisoned.
Therefore, Jiao Qingshan stopped cultivating and attacked the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog below with all his might. However, after killing this wave, it was difficult for everyone to decide whether to continue deeper.
After all, with Jin Nan and Jiao Qingyun's cultivation, they could still go deeper. Luo Ping also relied on his powerful combat strength to do the same. As for the others, they couldn't do the same.
"How about this? Brother Luo, Brother Qingyun, and I will go deeper. You all will go back first. I believe you'll be able to deal with the Hundred-Eyed Poison Frog there."
Jin Nan said.
Everyone felt that this made sense and nodded in agreement. Just as they were about to split up, the surrounding seawater suddenly shook violently.
"What's going on?"
Luo Ping and the others were bewildered.
Elder Mi Can had previously told them that although the Corpse Burial Sea was very dangerous, it had always been peaceful. This was even more frightening.
But now, the Corpse Burial Sea actually shook like this. This made Luo Ping and the others suspect that there might be a mistake in what Elder Mi Can had told them.
However, no matter what, they had to return to the edge as soon as possible. That was because they felt an incomparably powerful aura being released from the bottom of the sea at the same time as the violent shaking appeared.
No matter what had caused it, they would definitely be in danger if they continued to stay here. Their top priority was to escape.
When Luo Ping and the others saw this, they immediately moved towards the surface of the sea without hesitation. After all, moving in the sea was too slow. Once they reached the surface of the sea, even if they couldn't fly to the edge in a short period of time, they could still fly to the sky and avoid the unknown dangers of the Corpse Burial Sea.
However, just as they moved for a short while and were still quite a distance away from the surface, the incomparably powerful aura from the bottom of the sea directly enveloped them, making it impossible for them to move.
While they were still in shock, the seawater around them started to fall rapidly. Soon, it had reached the height of their bodies.
Their bodies reappeared in the void, and only then did they realize that there were countless other figures imprisoned like them. They were the other disciples of the Dazzling Divine Sect.
In the distance, a figure was rapidly flying towards them. It was Elder Mi Can who had discovered the abnormality in the Corpse Burial Sea.
As Elder Mi Can flew, he took out his immortal artifact. A shining golden alms bowl instantly enlarged in the void. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a thousand feet in size and arrived before Luo Ping and the others.
The huge golden alms bowl stood between the disciples of the Exquisite Divine Sect and the seawater. It planned to release a powerful force to break through the confinement of the disciples.
However, when the golden alms bowl released rays of golden light, Elder Mi Can, who had just arrived, had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Why is this confinement so powerful? Even my golden alms bowl can't break through it?"
"Just what kind of powerful existence is under the Corpse Burial Sea? Why hasn't it appeared before?"
Elder Mi Can was filled with doubt and shock.
However, his movements didn't slow down at all. Seeing that the golden alms bowl couldn't break through the confinement in a short amount of time, he simply controlled the alms bowl to fly upwards, intending to capture all the disciples of the Exquisite Divine Sect.
However, the alms bowl only moved a few feet before it couldn't move anymore. At the same time, an unquestionable voice came from below.
"How can a mere level seven golden immortal like you stop the people this immortal lord wants to capture?"
