Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1360: An Unimaginable Scene Occurs

The truth of the matter was once again proven, as Han Yan’s use of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill presented a tremendous and unexpected shock to everyone present.

Gazes turned towards Han Yan, now tinged with even greater reverence and unwavering trust. It seemed even the fabled, omnipotent deity could not command such profound conviction as Han Yan had.

"While the pill's potency remains in flux, administer the elixir to him without delay. Once its power stabilizes, confronting the residual poison will become significantly more arduous," Yan Zishu urged Han Yan with palpable urgency.

Without a moment's hesitation, Han Yan channeled her Qi, causing the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill to levitate and present itself before Zirong.

For a standard Qi Refilling or cultivation-boosting elixir, enhanced stability would be ideal. However, Zirong's consumption of this elixir was for detoxification. Following the neutralization of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder, an immediate purging of the pill's own efficacy was necessary, implying its power should not be excessively stable.

Zirong, maintaining a composure surpassing others, had already secretly engaged his cultivation technique and centered his mind before the pill's completion, ensuring his preparedness. The instant the pill reached him, he took it in one swift gulp.

Almost immediately upon ingesting the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill, a subtle violet hue began to manifest on his face, which had previously been marred by a dark aura.

Such potent toxicity! Even Han Yan had not anticipated the severity of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill's inherent poison. Had Zirong not been suffering from an initial poisoning, the simultaneous action of these two poisons would have resulted in his immediate demise.

Yan Zishu and the assembled elders registered another shift in their expressions. This was their inaugural encounter with the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill's toxic effects, and they were now fully aware of the terrifying nature of this poison pill. Reflecting on the preceding events, a sense of hidden trepidation washed over them, deepening their gratitude towards Han Yan.

The preceding circumstances made it abundantly clear that Yan Zishu lacked the capability to contain such a potent poison pill. Had the pill furnace detonated, not only he but also the accompanying elders would have succumbed to the overwhelming poison.

Fortunately, Han Yan’s swift actions in refining the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill had effectively preserved their lives.

Zirong's face became a canvas of alternating colors, betraying his intense suffering. Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat coursed down his skin in steady rivulets.

Witnessing this ordeal, neither Han Yan nor Yan Zishu displayed concern; instead, their faces radiated relief.

The agony Zirong endured stemmed from the fierce internal battle between the two poisons as they dissolved each other, a process that severely strained his meridians. Yet, this very torment served as confirmation that the strategy of employing poison to counteract poison was viable, instilling hope for Zirong's eventual detoxification!

Zirong's pained expression intensified, his entire body drenched in sweat. However, upon closer scrutiny, observers could discern that the alternating black and violet hues on his face were gradually diminishing.

It was evident that following their mutual dissolution, the potency of both intense poisons was steadily waning.

Despite this weakening, Han Yan and the others dared not lower their guard, for even in their diminished state, either poison, if unchecked, still held the power to claim Zirong's life.

At long last, the visual indicators of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder and the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill faded to mere traces, and Zirong’s expression visibly eased.

"Zirong, prepare to channel your Qi to purge the poison!" Han Yan instructed, her voice laced with profound seriousness, a knot forming in her throat.

Based on the visual cues, the toxicity of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill was demonstrably more aggressive. It would not be long before the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder was fully neutralized. At that juncture, only the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill's poison, less potent but still lethal, would remain. Should Zirong fail to instantly fortify his Heart Meridian with Qi the very moment the powder dissolved completely, ensuring the swift expulsion of the residual poison, escape from death would be impossible.

As Han Yan issued her warning, she concurrently amplified her own cultivation technique, her focus razor-sharp on detecting any subtle shifts within Zirong. Should he falter, she was prepared to immediately assist him in guarding the Heart Meridian and then employ the Heavenly Heart Technique to refine any remaining toxins.

The Heavenly Heart Technique possessed the extraordinary capacity to absorb and repurpose all energies. However, its efficacy against the specific poison of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill remained uncertain. Han Yan harbored no strong confidence, but if the situation demanded it, she had no superior alternative, as conventional detoxification elixirs were utterly ineffectual against such a formidable poison.

Zirong was acutely aware of the ultimate peril associated with employing poison to counteract poison, and he refused to be careless. Drawing a deep breath, he steeled himself to push his Qi to its absolute limit, bracing for the inevitable, intense resurgence of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill's toxic influence.

The discoloration on Zirong’s countenance, signifying the presence of two potent toxins, grew progressively fainter, practically vanishing from sight. Eventually, the final wisps of black gas dissipated, the poison of the Thousand Poison Corruptive Powder utterly neutralized by the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill. At that precise moment, an unnatural flush bloomed across Zirong’s cheeks, only to be swiftly supplanted by a deep, violet hue.

As anticipated, with the external constraint removed, the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill unleashed its ferocious potency.

Zirong, having foreseen this, activated his cultivation technique the instant the eruption occurred, channeling his Qi to its limits and momentarily arresting the rapid spread of the violet gas across his features.

Han Yan and the others collectively exhaled in relief; thankfully, the residual poison from the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill appeared manageable, suggesting Zirong could still contain it.

Just as this thought formed, an unforeseen turn of events transpired; Zirong’s body suddenly shuddered, violet tinges encroaching upon his limbs and surging towards his heart meridian from all directions. His Qi proved insufficient to subdue the lingering poison.

"Not good!" Yan Zishu lurched forward, intending to intervene. However, having been poisoned himself earlier, his Qi was severely depleted from refining pills, rendering him incapable of aiding Zirong. After a few faltering steps, overwhelming dizziness consumed him.

Huayue and the rest were equally stunned, witnessing Zirong on the cusp of successful detoxification, only for everything to seemingly unravel at the final juncture. The Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill offered no room for delay, unlike the Thousand Erosion Scripture. Should his Qi falter, he would perish instantaneously.

Han Yan surged forward without hesitation; whether or not her Heavenly Heart Technique could refine the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s poison, she felt compelled to try, unwilling to stand by and watch Zirong meet his end.

At that critical moment, Zirong suddenly straightened, a potent surge of Heaven and Earth Power erupting forth, coalescing into an ethereal vortex above the Yan Mansion, engulfing him.

Zirong unleashed a long, fierce cry, a majestic and boundless Qi radiating from him, exerting an oppressive wave of pressure upon them all.

Fifth Rank Sword Master!

"A breakthrough, he’s actually breaking through at this critical juncture!" Yan Zishu and the assembled elders gasped in astonishment.

While some achieve breakthroughs in secluded cultivation or amidst life-or-death struggles, no one had ever been known to advance their cultivation during a perilous moment of poison eruption leading to near-death.

Swiftly, a realization dawned upon them, and their expressions eased slightly.

Han Yan also halted her advance, a gentle smile gracing her features, tinged with palpable relief.
