Divine Emperor of Death

Instantly, Evelynn felt affected as her lips twitched.

Right now, she felt how terrifying these hex abilities were, unable to be dodged, making her deeply understand that it was no wonder her enemies feared her.

Poison abruptly flared in her system, causing her to tremble. The moment she realized it had already invaded her meridians and three dantians, unimpeded because her cultivation was already sealed.

The Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid was mostly impervious to poison. However, the poison in her system was even more powerful than her own, causing blood to leak from her lips as her blood became contaminated. She couldn't easily get rid of it, and even if she could, it could only be with her cultivation.

"A trialist must fight like this…? No wonder no one passed this trial..."

Judging by the distance, she had five more challenges waiting for her.

However, Evelynn lightly giggled, looking like she was at ease, taking a step forward and continuing to walk as though she was unaffected. A hundred meters was crossed over in two seconds as she moved slowly, abruptly stepping upon the six hundred meter mark from the gate.

Instantly, the gate's third eyes shone with a green light again, causing her to narrow her eyes.

'I thought so… the poison imbued in me is nothing but the start...'

*Splash!~*

Evelynn suddenly felt like she had jumped into a pool of water, the surface tension applying to her skin all over. However, instead of water, it was all poison instead, conjured inside her body in ungodly amounts to invade sixty percent of her system. This time, the Poison Hex didn't spare even her organs.

"Species Technique: Earth Invulnerability."

However, Evelynn held her hands in a clasp and calmly uttered. Blood essence churned within her heart as she sacrificed it, suddenly causing her body to tremble as the Sealing Hex imbued on her became weak, but instead of destroying it, she used that time to unleash an extreme bodily might. The poison running in her system was suddenly overwhelmed by her raging blood, quickly curing her of the poison.

Her organs had also undergone a change, exuding immense force that cleared the invading poison.

Evelynn heaved a breath, her crimson lips pouting as she released the remnant poison from within into the air. Her lips behind the purple veil curved into an amused smile as she quickly reached the five hundred meter mark at this moment, taking another step forward to cross the mark.

*Bzzz!~*

Shady green light emerged from the third eye on the gate as it cast Poison Hex on her again.

Evelynn slightly trembled as she felt poison emerge within her body, instantly covering ninety percent of her body.

'Such powerful Poison Hex…!'

Evelynn was visibly shocked. Her entire body was quickly engulfed in poison. Her organs were covered in toxic muck already, and even her bones were being penetrated by the poison. However, no matter how those poisons tried to enter the bones, they were unable to seep in, even slowly dissolving under the effects of her raging blood.

The flood of poison that rampaged in her body was also quickly cured, unable to damage her despite the intensity of their entry using the magical ability of the Poison Hex.

A rampant smile spread across Evelynn's face as she sensed the result of using the Species Technique: Earth Invulnerability.

What she used just now was her Earth Dragon's Species Technique.

Indeed, Evelynn could use both the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid and Earth Dragon's Species Technique, all because she was a Fey. Humans couldn't use species techniques, and that's why they possessed created techniques that can mimic species techniques.

For example, the Fire Phoenix's Species Technique is to revive if it ends up dead. Shirley used the technique Revival From the Ashes Soul Technique to revive Davis, and that's precisely the technique mimicking the Fire Phoenix's Species Technique. However, reviving is the Phoenix's common Species Technique. Even the Ice Phoenix could revive itself but not as great as the Fire Phoenix that possessed bright nirvana flames.

Therefore, it could be said that the Fire Phoenix also possessed another Species Technique, which is unique to their sub-species, which Shirley has yet to master. It was the same for Isabella.

However, Evelynn, who inherited the Earth Dragon's Blood and became a Fey, could instinctively use it. She had little to no need to learn.

As for why she didn't use her blood essence to destroy the Sealing Hex on her but used the Earth Dragon's Species Technique, Evelynn felt that it was going against the workings of the trial. It could be entirely possible that the Sealing Hex would be used on her again and again if she destroyed it, so unless she possessed the means to completely destroy the Sealing Hex many times, she felt that it was a waste of energy.

That's why she used the Earth Dragon's Species Technique, which made her invulnerable to such poisons for a short time, even allowing her blood without any input from her to destroy the foreign invaders. Her bones would also become extremely powerful, capable of unleashing immense might as well as boosting her defense by a few times.

Her decision was also based on the upcoming challenges, which was obviously…

"A Collapse Hex…"

As Evelynn crossed the four hundred meter mark, she witnessed the third eye on the gate shine with a crimson light.

*Bang!~*

Evelynn curled herself up in midair as her four scythes appeared in front of her, defending against the Collapse Hex, when a scythe along with the entire spider bone shattered, exploding into a shower of blood that spilled on her like rain.

Her lips slightly twitched in pain while her body trembled ever so lightly.

However, that shattered spider bone connected to her backbone quickly began rejuvenating, starting from the root all the way to the seventh segment, forming a deadly scythe at the seventh segment, which shone with a lustrous purple poisonous gleam.

'Even with Earth Invulnerability, the Collapse Hex can still harm me?'

Evelynn clenched her teeth as she smiled, but her heart was rapidly starting to beat.

She knew how the Collapse Hex worked as it caused internal destruction, causing one to explode, so the only way to defend against it was to block it with a tough physical body.

Her protruding arachnid leg bones were extremely durable, far more than an ordinary Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid as they contained dragon blood and, on top of using Earth Invulnerability, the Collapse Hex still got her, managing to destroy an entire bone structure.

Within five seconds, the destroyed bone structure completely healed, and not wasting any time, she took two steps forward, stepping into the three hundred meter mark when the third eye on the gate shone with a deadly crimson light again.

Evelynn raised all four of her scythes in order to guard against the incoming Collapse Hex.

*Bang!~*

This time, Evelynn lost all four of her spider lances as she retreated two steps back, her teeth clattering as she endured the immense pain surging from her spine to all over her body! Her purple robe was fully painted in her crimson blood, making her appear like a devilish fiend who had stepped out of the netherworld.

Her big bosoms shook as she heaved a heavy breath while her heart was rapidly beating in trepidation.

Quickly, the four spider lances began rejuvenating like before. She waited seven seconds for them to completely heal and radiate a poisonous gleam before quickly appearing at the two hundred meter mark, finally taking a step forward as though she took a leap of faith.

*Bzzz!~!*

The crimson light on the third eye lip up again, even more intensely than before.

Evelynn quickly brought her defenses up as she curled up, bending her body into a ball as she placed her legs before her head, layered them on top of her hands before the four spider lances.

*Bang!~*

The sound of flesh exploding could be heard as Evelynn spun back and landed, her feet touching the ground, blood pouring crazily on the surface where she stood while she stared at her two arms, heavily bleeding. Half of her left arm was gone while her right arm became a mangled mess, her wrist hanging in bad shape.

"Hahaha~"

She winced in pain, but more than that, she couldn't help but let out a burst of melodious laughter, recalling that her two arms were like this once before. Nonetheless, without even needing her input, her passive regeneration as a Fey kicked in, beginning to heal her once again.

Her arms visibly grew back to completeness while her arachnid bones were the same, quickly forming into four deadly scythes.

"Aren't you lucky, you arachnid? If my husband knew that you caused my hands to be destroyed in the same way they were once destroyed, he wouldn't leave you alive."

Evelynn clenched her two hands, curling them into fists. She was completely healed in ten whole seconds, which was nothing short of a miracle. She looked at the last hundred meters and wondered if it was the tenth and final challenge she would face as she had already faced nine challenges.

A Sealing Hex combined with three attacks targeting her weakness that was supposed to exist, while the other six challenges were three Poison Hexes and Collapse Hexes of varying levels, the last of them even becoming three levels higher in prowess.

They weren't something she couldn't have stopped without using Earth Invulnerability, but now, there was still the chance that there was one single challenge left.

Evelynn took a step forward and arrived at the hundred-meter mark, bracing herself for an extreme attack!
