Chapter 42: The Poison Frog Clan
One of the 36 Heavenly Pillars in the Shuiyang Star Region—Tianfu Star.
There is only one continent, shaped like a coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside. In the square-shaped sea at the center of the continent lies a free island equipped with a spatial teleportation array, serving as a gathering place for monsters from other planets to come to Tianfu Star.
Only monsters born on Tianfu Star are allowed to live on this sole continent, known as Tianfu Continent.
A winged ice snake set off from Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Region and, after more than ten years of travel, finally arrived at the free island of Tianfu Star. At this moment, the winged ice snake had transformed into a human man, who went to a remote mountainous area on the island.
Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared beside the man.
“Master,” said the seemingly cold man calmly.
Qu Yi nodded and smiled, saying, “You’ve worked hard. From now on, you can enter the original celestial veins of Tianfu Star at any time to cultivate.”
Hearing this, the cold man finally smiled and exclaimed excitedly, “Thank you, Master.”
Qu Yi raised his hand and immediately enclosed the man inside a Dimensional Sphere, then began communicating with the Artifact God within it.
“Artifact God, I need your help again regarding Tianfu Star,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he sent a message.
After a while,
“Qu Yi, Tianfu Star has only one continent, called Tianfu Continent, located in the eastern hemisphere. The original celestial veins are in the central northern part of the continent, occupied by the highly poisonous Colorful Toad Clan. The entire Tianfu Continent is led by the Poison Frog Clan, with other monster races forced to obey their commands,” the Artifact God replied.
Poison Frog Clan?
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi smiled. One of the 36 Heavenly Pillars in the Shuiyang Star Region was occupied by the Poison Frog Clan.
“Artifact God, do the Poison Frog Clan naturally possess deadly poisons, and are their toxins extremely powerful?” Qu Yi asked immediately.
“You’re right. It’s precisely because the Poison Frog Clan has innate deadly poisons that can directly harm the bodies of monsters that other races dare not resist them and must obey their commands. Especially the royal clan of the Poison Frog Clan—the Colorful Toad Clan—whose venom can even harm powerful Tianpo monsters,” the Artifact God replied indifferently.
Qu Yi was somewhat surprised and shook his head, realizing now that things might get complicated.
“My body is a Chaos Body, so it should not be harmed by the venom of the Colorful Toad Clan. But the Five Sovereigns and other supreme leaders of various monster races have bodies based on the Five Elements, so they won’t be able to resist their venom,” Qu Yi thought anxiously.
Venom is also a form of energy, merely a product of the fusion of the five elements’ energies. As a distorted form of chaotic energy, it can naturally be digested, which is why Qu Yi fears no poisons.
“It’s simple—have all the supreme leaders of the demon beasts come out first and eliminate those lower-class poison frogs. What’s the use of leaving only those poisonous toads?” The God of Tools reminded him.
Qu Yi’s eyes lit up.
Immediately, with a thought from Qu Yi, all the characters inside the Miniature Realm were set free.
The Four Lords—Gold, Wood, Water, and Earth—along with the Six Masters—Thunder Command, Thunder Control, Water Sky, Hidden Ocean, Flowing Wind, and Flowing Prosperity—plus over ninety supreme leaders of demon beasts, all gathered around Qu Yi.
Naturally, these powerful beings, most of whom were at the level of Five-Star Heavenly Soul Demon cultivators, emitted a formidable aura that instantly covered the entire Freedom Island.
The various alien demon beasts on Freedom Island sensed this immense aura, and many of them immediately flew toward the Transmission Hall, hoping to teleport away from Tianfu Star to avoid being attacked by these suddenly appearing Heavenly Soul Demon warriors.
Qu Yi looked at everyone before him and smiled, saying, “Gentlemen, Tianfu Continent is ruled by the Poison Frog Clan. Their venom is very powerful and can harm your bodies, especially the venom of those deadly poisonous toads, which can destroy your bodies. But don’t worry; I’ll take care of dealing with those deadly poisonous toads. As for the rest of the Poison Frog Clan, it’s up to you.”
Hearing Qu Yi’s words, everyone was surprised for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Of course, they all understood Qu Yi’s plan—essentially a strategy of encircling and attacking from multiple sides. As long as they avoided the deadly poisonous toads, the rest of the Poison Frog Clan wouldn’t be a match for them.
“Understood, Master,” the demon beasts exclaimed excitedly.
Qu Yi nodded and smiled, saying, “Then, divide into four teams now. Led by the Four Lords—Gold, Wood, Water, and Earth—head to the north of Tianfu Continent. Attack from all four directions, eliminate the Poison Frog Clan members, and then gather at the territory of the deadly poisonous toads. From there, we’ll figure out how to attack them.”
With the Four Lords leading each team, Qu Yi could use the Boundless Stars to rush to their aid at any time.
In no time, twenty-five people per team formed four teams. The Four Lords each led one team, then flew toward Tianfu Continent.
On Freedom Island, the chaos from earlier quickly returned to calm, though many questions remained.
Four teams crossed the vast inland seas and arrived at the southern coast to the north of Tianfu Continent. Flying from west to east, they headed north from all four directions to launch an attack on the Poison Frog tribe. The team led by Jin Zun was in the far west, consisting of Lei Ling, Lei Kong, and over twenty supreme leaders of demon beasts. They landed on a mountain peak by the coast. Jin Zun glanced at everyone and said calmly, “Now that we’ve arrived on Tianfu Continent, from this moment onward, we have only one task: to kill. As we fly north, we must kill any demon beast we encounter, so that every demon beast race on Tianfu Continent will tremble at the mere mention of our name.” Those who practiced the Golden Energy cultivation method naturally loved killing, and Jin Zun was no exception. “Kill, kill, kill all the demon beasts!” the excited crowd shouted, eager to shed blood. Jin Zun nodded, drew two swords from his hands, and immediately flew north. Everyone followed closely behind. In a hilly area, countless spotted frogs lived, with their croaking filling the air incessantly. However, their strength was not very high; the strongest spotted frogs were only at the Earth Soul Demon level. Jin Zun’s team descended from the sky. “Kill, kill!” Jin Zun grew excited. The thrill of killing from his journey on Tian Shou Star surged within him again; it felt unbearable if he didn’t attack. At his command, the supreme leaders of the demon beasts also took out their magical treasures, most of which had been given by Qu Yi. After all, Qu Yi had obtained so many treasures from the Emperor Haotu’s hoard that he naturally gave them first to his subordinates. In moments, continuous spells filled the air, and the immense power of the world enveloped the land as waves of attacks struck the hills. After each spell, hundreds of thousands or even millions of spotted frogs died, and smells of burning and blood filled the air. Jin Zun and his team did not pause after each attack; their mere assaults were enough to scare the souls of the distant spotted frogs. Of course, as they flew along, they continued to kill without concern for the spotted frogs’ counterattacks. Wherever they flew, piles of dead spotted frogs remained behind. After a few days, Jin Zun led his team above a vast forest. Through his divine perception, he found that countless silk-spitting frogs lived in every tree within that forest.
The silk-spitting frogs, unlike other poisonous frogs that secrete venom, emit highly toxic silk threads. These threads come in various colors, but each one is extremely poisonous and deadly.
Jin Zun flew at the front, a smile immediately appearing on his face as he shouted loudly, “Everyone, there’s another group of poisonous frogs! We can have some fun again. Kill, kill, kill!” His madness and fierce desire to fight were evident.
“Kill, kill, kill!” The already frenzied monsters echoed his cries, their voices spreading throughout the forest.
The silk-spitting frogs in the forest immediately let out loud shrieks, generating strong winds that made the trees sway violently. The frogs were even issuing threatening warnings!
Naturally, Jin Zun and the others became even more battle-ready. They took out their magical weapons and formed a V-formation as they flew into the sky, then arrived above the forest.
“Poisonous frogs, meet your doom!” Jin Zun unleashed the most powerful “Golden Light Everywhere” spell using the two swords in his hands. Countless beams of golden light, imbued with the power of the Golden World, shot into the forest. Undoubtedly, many silk-spitting frogs died instantly.
Lei Ling and Lei Kong, the two electric eels, did not use any magical weapons but released the lightning symbols on their foreheads. As they flew, continuous lightning bolts erupted—shaped like electrical grids—covering an area five miles wide. These bolts trapped the trees in that region and electrocuted all the silk-spitting frogs on them.
Of course, the other leaders of the monsters, wielding magical weapons given to them by Qu Yi, casually cast various powerful spells in all directions of the forest, continuously killing countless silk-spitting frogs.
Several waves of coordinated attacks immediately terrified the silk-spitting frogs in the forest. Those in the front part of the forest were so scared that they jumped off the trees, emitting chaotic cries of fear.
Jin Zun’s group advanced unimpeded, indulging in relentless slaughter, and successfully passed through another area filled with poisonous frogs.
In the other three directions, the teams led by Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun also faced groups of poisonous frogs and attacked them mercilessly, just like Jin Zun’s group. Wave after wave of destructive attacks dealt severe damage to the poisonous frog species.
The four teams quickly penetrated deep into the northern part of Tianfu Continent, getting closer and closer to the primordial energy veins guarded by the highly poisonous colored toads.
Qu Yi himself remained on Freedom Island, waiting for the call from Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun. If they encountered the highly poisonous colored toads, he would immediately rush to provide support.
“Three months have passed; it’s time to encounter the highly poisonous colored toad,” Qu Yi said softly as he sat in lotus position on a mountain peak in Freedom Island.
No sooner had he spoken than Qu Yi received a summons from Golden Lord, and his team indeed encountered a highly poisonous colored toad.
Qu Yi took out the Boundless Star Patterns.
