Chapter 817 Removing Poison For Resources (1/2)

”I'm afraid the king won't be able to make any progress in his strength in the future, and his life expectancy will be greatly diminished,” Ares said with a hopeless sigh.

”Why? Hasn't he already refined half of the Void Cell? Isn't that heavenly power in itself not enough?” Ricky asked out of surprise.

”No, that's not entirely true at all. The poison is far too powerful and has already infused into his internal organs. Irrespective of how strong that power is, it is still just an unstable mess of heavenly power. How could that in any way drive out the poison infused in his internal organs?” Ares responded.

”Oh, so the poison he is afflicted with is no ordinary!” Ricky said. ”But how did he get poisoned? Is the Ling Clan responsible?”

”No, it was the work of a stranger. It happened when the king was on his way to the Void Tree. He met this old man on the way and got attacked. That's how all of this came to pass,” Ares replied solemnly.

”That old man must be like you, a creature on the continent.”

”He must be a master at crafting toxins,” Ricky said.

”Ares, take me to the king now. I may have a way to completely extract the poison from his body,” Ricky voiced.

”Can you remove poison?” Ares replied in shock.

”Ha-ha, I know quite a bit about poison, so I want to give it a try. Can't hurt to try right?” Ricky responded with a smile.

”Alright then. Follow me please,” replied Ares. Although he had known Ricky a few days, it was inexplicable how easy it felt to trust him. Maybe it was because of his strength and confidence.

Very soon with his guidance, they arrived at the palace where Dylan cultivated. At this time, Selene and William were also there at the palace.

It seemed like Dylan had indeed returned to his peak, and the undoubted momentum of a completed spiritual king was on full display. But those with keen eyes would be able to see the darkness shrouded between his eyebrows.
