Boom!!!

The Divine Origin Crystal shattered completely, but instead of scattering, the fragments transformed into streams of energy that surged into the interior of the Divine Origin Crystal.

The next moment, a figure appeared atop Ye Tian.

“Immortal race!”

Ye Tian was slightly surprised.

The figure before him was clearly a God-level member of the Immortal Race. Although his body was covered in numerous green spots, the aura of the Immortal Race and the golden patterns had not dissipated.

It was evident that this member of the Immortal Race was a noble within their ranks—a Gold-Pattern Immortal!

“Why is there an Immortal Race member here? Could it be…”

Ye Tian pondered a possibility—that this Immortal Race member was once a Prince of the Immortal Race who had entered the Hall of Primordial Ancestry. Unfortunately, he failed during the death-level difficulty and was left behind here.

At this time.

The Immortal Race member opened his eyes and looked at Ye Tian.

“Another one has come!”

The Immortal Race member spoke.

“You are conscious?”

Ye Tian was mildly surprised; he had thought this Immortal Race member was in a puppet-like state. However, he did not expect that the figure possessed its own consciousness.

“You thought I was a puppet?”

The Immortal Race member suddenly laughed. “Of course, I possess consciousness, but I am no longer the same Immortal Race member from before. The consciousness of that previous member has been completely transformed into the consciousness I have now.

If you lose to me, you too will be invaded by the Curse Gu poison, transforming your consciousness and turning you into a poison person within the death-level difficulty assessments of the Hall of Primordial Ancestry! As a poison person, I have my own consciousness, so if I do not wish to die, I must defeat you or even kill you!”

“So, that’s how it is!”

Ye Tian understood.

The body before him was that of the previous Immortal Race corpse, but the consciousness was entirely new.

Thus, strictly speaking, this poison person was also a creature with a limited lifespan, necessitating their sealing away, unable to emerge unless someone attempted the death-level difficulty.

At that moment, he also finally understood what the green substance was.

“Curse Gu poison!”

Ye Tian was very wary of this Curse Gu poison, capable of altering even one’s consciousness! He did not want to end up like this Immortal Race member, where a change in self-consciousness meant being virtually another person, equivalent to his own death.

Swish!

The Immortal Race poison person rushed forward, throwing a punch.

Although transformed into a poison person, the Immortal Race member’s combat abilities had not diminished much. Any Immortal Race daring enough to attempt the death-level difficulty would not be weak, at least a first-tier Eternal Prince. Unfortunately, this Immortal Race member had overestimated his abilities and fell during the death-level difficulty, now tragically turned into a poison person for others’ assessments.

“Heavenly Moon Saber!”

Ye Tian slashed with his saber, sending the Immortal Race poison person flying and even leaving a saber mark on his body, nearly piercing through.

“Not strong, just equivalent to a weaker first-tier Eternal Prince.” Ye Tian thought to himself.

But soon, Ye Tian grew solemn as he saw the Immortal Race poison person’s wound quickly heal under the cover of the green substance.

Clearly, the Curse Gu poison also had healing properties, although limited to the poison person.

Following this, Ye Tian did not attack with his full strength. Instead, he repeatedly tested the poison person’s capabilities and tactics to understand more about them, preparing for encounters with other poison persons.

He believed that within the death-level difficulty, there would likely be more than one poison person. Otherwise, any significantly powerful first-tier Eternal Prince would have a high chance of passing the death-level difficulty, making it far too easy.

After several minutes, Ye Tian had a good grasp of the situation with the Immortal Race poison person.

Simply put, the Immortal Race poison person could not fully utilize their previous combat strength. However, the Curse Gu poison could spread to the opponent during attacks. If the poison person breached your defenses, you would be in grave danger.

For instance, if Ye Tian were invaded by the Curse Gu poison, he would have to use his power to suppress the Curse Gu poison, rendering him unable to exert his full strength, eventually becoming weak and losing to the poison person.

Therefore, it was crucial to protect his body from the invasion of the Curse Gu poison, otherwise, he would easily be defeated.

After understanding the situation, Ye Tian no longer held back.

“Die!”

He executed the Time Stasis technique, instantly slowing the Immortal Race poison person’s thoughts to a crawl. In that instant, Ye Tian performed several Heavenly Moon Saber strikes, directly slaying the Immortal Race poison person. The body turned into a large amount of Curse Gu poison that drifted away and flew off into the distance.

Clearly, the second poison person was about to appear.

Swish! Ye Tian flew over and soon encountered another Divine Origin Crystal statue.

Soon, this Divine Origin Crystal statue also shattered, and another poison person appeared.

This poison person was a God-level member of the Yaksha Race, and a royal one at that—the Void Yaksha, proficient in spatial talents. His body was naturally attuned to space, even more so than the Purple Crystal Spirit Race.

The Yaksha Race was also an old and powerful cosmic race, existing far longer than the human race.

Apart from the Immortal Race and the Demon Race, two super races, the Yaksha Race was easily among the top ten in the universe, while the human race could only rank within the top hundred.

However, the foundations of the Yaksha Race were far from those of the Immortal and Demon Races, and this Yaksha Race God was probably much stronger than the previous Immortal Race poison person. It was unfortunate that such a prince had fallen during the death-level difficulty and was transformed into a poison person. The Yaksha Race must have been incredibly pained by this loss.

“You managed to defeat the first poison person, well done!”

The Yaksha Race poison person had a grave expression. Possessing self-awareness, he naturally did not want to disappear. Since Ye Tian had slain the first poison person and was not weak, he also feared he might not be a match.

But the rules of the Hall of Primordial Ancestry bound him, and he had no choice but to make his move.

Swish! Wings unfurled behind the Yaksha Race poison person, and his body vanished instantly.

“Spatial power!”

Ye Tian activated his spatial talent, sensing the surroundings. When the Yaksha Race appeared not far behind him, wielding a long spear thrusting forward, Ye Tian instantly teleported away, launching a spatial blade in a sweeping strike.

“Hmph, merely a Mystic-level spatial talent, and you think to deceive me?” Ye Tian secretly sneered.

Following this, the Yaksha Race poison person was continuously suppressed by Ye Tian in terms of spatial power control, and in all other aspects, he was no match.

In terms of strength, this Yaksha Race poison person was equivalent to a top-tier first-tier Eternal Prince, not very far from an Invincible Eternal Prince.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian was a Supreme Prince and among the very pinnacle of Supreme Princes, so this Yaksha Race poison person was naturally no match for him and was merely toyed with by Ye Tian.

After about a few minutes, Ye Tian lost interest and swiftly killed the Yaksha Race poison person.

Not long after, the third poison person appeared.

This time, however, the poison person was not a member of any intelligent species but a gigantic monster, with strength comparable to an Invincible Eternal Prince, likely concocted by the Hall of Primordial Ancestry.

Given the limited number of poison persons and the rarity of powerful ones, they had to resort to substitutes when lacking poison persons for assessments.

This monster lacked intelligence, possessing only brute strength and aggression, but was far from a match for Ye Tian, who quickly annihilated it.

Just then, a voice rang out.

“Assessor, you only need to defeat the last poison person to pass the death-level difficulty!”

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Tian knew it was the spirit of the Hall of Primordial Ancestry.

“Is it the last one?”

Ye Tian didn’t relax at all and remained vigilant.

Finally, he arrived at the location of the last poison person.

There was no Divine Origin Crystal statue here, but instead, a green-colored egg!
