Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system Chapter 590: Ch-589: Power of Dragon Phantom

Satisfied at last, Tian Chenyu halted his strikes and wiped sweat from his brow. Finally escaping the nonstop barrage, Tian Yang climbed to his feet and fixed Tian Chenyu with blood-red eyes.

"You...! You son of a bitch! How dare you shame me this way! I won't ever forgive you!" Tian Yang bellowed in fury the moment speech returned to him.

From his space ring, he quickly pulled out a vial.

Tian Xue and the elders' eyes shrank to pinpoints at the sight of that vial.

"That's—"

Before anyone could move, Tian Yang flung the vial. It shattered before Tian Chenyu, unleashing thick black smoke from the dark liquid that swiftly swallowed him whole.

"Damn that bastard—how dare he!" Tian Xue growled through bloodshot eyes, charging ahead to pummel Tian Yang senseless, only to get restrained by Du Hai.

Irritated, Tian Xue twisted his head toward the sect master.

"Calm down," Du Hai said.

"Calm your head! Don't you know the Heaven Devouring Poison's deadliness? It could wreck his dantian forever!" Tian Xue snapped, fury thick in his tone.

"Look. No screams from him? He seems totally fine," Du Hai noted calmly, nodding toward motionless Tian Chenyu in the black smoke shroud.

"Huh?" Tian Xue blinked in surprise and squinted at Tian Chenyu.

[Ding Dong]

[True Elemental Physique is neutralizing the poison]

Tian Chenyu sneered at the black smoke, fully immune to its poison. Poised to unleash his new Dragon Phantom and wrap up the charade, he froze upon seeing the alerts.

[True Elemental Physique has detected the presence of poison]

[True Elemental Physique can refine the poison to increase the cultivation of the user]

[Do you want to refine the poison? Yes/NoNote: You will feel the effects of the poison in your body]

"Should I...?" Wang Ming pondered briefly before picking yes. The instant he did, sensations shifted, cold sweat bursting forth.

[You have been afflicted by Heaven Devouring Poison, which contains traces of the Poison Law]

"Damn," Wang Ming swore as searing pain ripped through his frame, skin feeling like it melted.

"How vicious..." Wang Ming fumed inwardly, peering at Tian Yang past the smoke. Even his eyes scorched. He nearly burst from the cloud but halted at a fresh notification in his view.

[Heaven Devouring Poison is being refined by the True Elemental Physique]

[You have reached the 6th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

Tian Yang's smirk—convinced Tian Chenyu would writhe to death—solidified when no cries echoed. His face drained of triumph, eyes bulging wildly as Wang Ming's aura swelled.

The onlookers shared his stunned reaction.

"Hey, hey, didn't that jerk just hurl the ultimate killer, Heaven Devouring Poison? So why's Tian Chenyu's power surging instead of fading? Am I seeing things?"

"No, you're not. I sense his cultivation rising too."

Disbelieving murmurs spread through the crowd as they gawked.

"Hey, you never mentioned he had a special physique," Du Hai shot at the Tian Family group. Only some rare physique could spawn this wild twist, he figured.

Right then, clan head and elders gaped in shock, rooted in place, staring at Wang Ming like a specter.

'Damn, with a physique and that talent, why keep it secret? I'd have launched your cultivation sooner—you'd be far mightier now,' Tian Xue raged silently. Their clan fast-tracked elders' heirs and gifted bloodlines for quicker, superior growth.

[You have reached the 6th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

[You have reached the 7th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

[You have reached the 8th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

[You have reached the 9th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

[You have reached the 10th Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

Indifferent, Wang Ming tracked his cultivation's climb. It barely stirred him—this was just the simulation. System details confirmed only recalled techniques carried over, a rarity for most. No sweat; the system locked everything in memory, even refreshing his status panel with the skills.

"10th Stage of the Pure Core Realm..." Tian Yang stammered as he watched Tian Chenyu step out of the smoke, his cultivation now elevated. Rage and humiliation scorched his features, while a flicker of insanity gleamed in his gaze. "I refuse to believe it... damn it!"

"Enough. I am done playing with you," Wang Ming declared icily while unsheathing his sword.

Roar!

Right after Wang Ming unleashed the technique, sword intent exploded from his frame, summoning a spectral golden dragon head behind his back.

Tian Yang stared in shock at the phantom as Wang Ming directed his sword toward him.

Rushing forward, the dragon head bared its fangs and clamped down on him with raw sword intent.

"Ahhhhhh!" Tian Yang howled raggedly while his arm got severed neatly.

Gnaw!

Gradually, the dragon chomped through his other limbs and torso. Tian Yang's face grew flushed with blood, convulsing in torment—not from the bodily harm, but from the fierce sword intent shredding his insides.

Minutes passed before Tian Yang's form detonated from the core, ripped asunder internally by streaks of azure sword light.
