The facts once again proved this point, as Han Yan used the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill, giving them and everyone a huge surprise.

As they looked at Han Yan, their gazes were filled with more respect and trust. Perhaps even the legendary almighty God couldn’t earn their conviction like Han Yan did.

"While the pill’s power is yet unstable, quickly make him take the elixir, or once its power stabilizes, it will be difficult for him to neutralize the residual poison later," Yan Zishu was the first to react and urgently spoke to Han Yan.

Han Yan didn’t hesitate, using Qi to float the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill, bringing it to Zirong’s front.

If it was a Qi Refilling or cultivation-enhancing elixir, the more stable the pill’s power, the better. But Zirong was taking this elixir to detoxify, and after counteracting the poison of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder, he had to immediately detoxify the pill itself, so the pill’s power shouldn’t be too stable.

Zirong was calmer than others, having secretly activated his cultivation technique and adjusted his mindset before the pill was completed, preparing thoroughly. As soon as the pill reached him, he swallowed it in one go.

Almost as he took the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill, a layer of violet hue appeared on his face, which was originally filled with dark aura.

Such intense toxicity! Even Han Yan hadn’t expected the poison in the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill to be so severe. Had Zirong not been poisoned initially, with the two poisons counteracting each other, he would have died immediately upon intake.

Yan Zishu and the few elders’ expressions changed again, as it was their first time seeing the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s poison effect, realizing how terrifying the poison pill was. Thinking back to the earlier scenes, all felt secretly fearful and looked at Han Yan with even more gratitude.

From the earlier situation, it’s clear that Yan Zishu couldn’t possibly seal this poison pill. If the pill furnace exploded, not only he but the elders who followed would all perish beneath this potent poison.

Thankfully, Han Yan acted promptly, refining the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill, saving their lives.

Two different colors alternated on Zirong’s face, showing pain, his forehead veins bulging, with sweat streaming steadily.

Seeing this, neither Han Yan nor Yan Zishu was worried; instead, they showed relieved expressions.

The reason Zirong was in such agony was due to the two poisons counteracting and dissolving each other, their intense process damaging the meridians. However, this also proved that the strategy of using poison to counter poison was effective, giving hope for Zirong’s detoxification!

Zirong’s expression grew increasingly painful, his entire body soaked in sweat, but upon closer examination, one could notice the alternating black and violet colors on his face gradually fading.

Evidently, after mutual dissolving, the two intense poisons were weakening more and more.

However, Han Yan and others did not dare to be too careless, because even with the two poisons weakening, if not for their mutual restraint, either could still take Zirong’s life.

Finally, the colors representing the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder and Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill had faded to nearly a trace, yet Zirong’s expression visibly lightened significantly.

"Zirong, prepare to use your energy to purge the poison!" Han Yan was extremely serious as he spoke, feeling a lump in his throat.

Judging by the colors, the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s toxicity was indeed fiercer. It wouldn’t take long before the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder was completely dissolved. By then, only the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill remained, weaker in poison but still deadly. If Zirong couldn’t activate his Qi to guard the Heart Meridian the instant the powder dissolved entirely, ensuring the poison was expelled quickly, he would have no escape from death.

As Han Yan reminded Zirong, she also maximized her cultivation technique, focusing intently on any minute change within Zirong. If he couldn’t hold, she would immediately help him guard the heart meridian, then utilize the Heavenly Heart Technique to refine the remaining poison.

The Heavenly Heart Technique has the remarkable ability to assimilate all forces for self-use, though it’s uncertain if it could refine the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s poison. Han Yan wasn’t very confident, but if it indeed came down to it, she had no better choice, as ordinary detoxification elixirs were utterly ineffective against such potent poison.

Zirong already knew the greatest danger of using poison to counter poison, daring not to be careless. He took a deep breath, ready to push his Qi to the limit, facing the eventual fierce outbreak of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s poison.

The colors on Zirong’s face, representing the two intense poisons, became increasingly faint, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye. Finally, the last trace of black gas vanished, the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder’s poison completely dissolved by the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill. At that instant, an unusual flush appeared on Zirong’s face, but immediately, it was replaced by a deep violet hue.

Indeed, as predicted, once the restraint was gone, the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill erupted fiercely.

Zirong was prepared, his cultivation technique activated at the moment of eruption, pushing his Qi to the utmost, slightly halting the rapidly spreading violet gas on his face.

Han Yan and others all let out a sigh of relief; thankfully, the residual poison of the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill was not much, seeming that Zirong could still suppress it.

As they thought so, an unexpected change occurred; Zirong’s body suddenly trembled, with his limbs showing violet hues, surging towards his heart meridian from all directions, his Qi unable to suppress the residual poison.

"Not good!" Yan Zishu staggered forward to intervene, but having been poisoned earlier himself, with his Qi vastly depleted due to refining pills, he couldn’t assist Zirong. After a few steps, dizziness overwhelmed him.

Huayue and the others were equally shocked, seeing Zirong nearly succeed in detoxification. Could it be at the final moment everything fails? The Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill wasn’t like the Thousand Erosion Scripture, offering no time for delay. Once his Qi couldn’t hold, he would perish in an instant.

Han Yan dashed forward suddenly; regardless if her Heavenly Heart Technique could refine the Rebirth Soul-breaking Pill’s poison, she had to attempt, unable to watch Zirong die before her eyes.

Just then, Zirong suddenly rose up, a dense Heaven and Earth Power surged forth, forming an intangible vortex above Yan Mansion enveloping him.

Zirong let out a long and fierce cry, a majestic and vast Qi emanating from him, delivering an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Fifth Rank Sword Master!

"A breakthrough, he actually broke through at this moment!" Yan Zishu and the elders were all shocked.

Some break through during seclusion, others amid life-and-death battles, but never had anyone been heard to break through during a mortal peril of poison eruption.

Swiftly, they realized something, and their expressions slightly relaxed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Han Yan also halted, her face showing a gentle smile, with a touch of relief.
