Chapter 3925
What greeted them was an enormous creature approaching them steadily.
It was the ancient poisonous centipede.
That centipede was a whopping hundred meters in length. A total of two hundred legs lined its sides. It
was covered in dark green scales, with eyes that shone with bloodthirst. 1
On top of that, it had two pairs of wings on its back. Its looming figure glowed, illuminated by the green
flames that surrounded it.
Those green flames were caused by the combustion of the venom that the ancient poisonous centipede
was secreting.
It was as if everyone could physically feel the temperature around them drop when the centipede
appeared. It was spring then. The centipede's appearance made everyone feel like they had been
plunged into autumn instantly.
Everyone was frozen in shock, a chill creeping down their spines.
"Holy sh*t, that's a huge centipede!"
"How long did that centipede cultivate for it to grow that big? And what’s with the green flames?"
Everyone could not contain their cries of shock. They thought the beast before them was a regular
centipede. They did not know that it was deadly poisonous.
At the same time, even Ambrose, who was in the middle of healing from his wounds,
exclaimed in surprise. "I've never seen a centipede that big!"

Next to him, Chester shook his head. With a stormy expression, he said, "That's not any
old centipede. That's an ancient poisonous centipede!"
Chester could feel the fear creep down his back as the words left his mouth. Even his
voice trembled slightly.
Chester was a man of vast knowledge, others may not have been able to recognize the
beast before them, but he had known what it was at first glance.
The ancient poisonous centipede was the only creature with venom fatally toxic enough to
produce flames.
Chester was stunned because he knew that the longest recorded ancient poisonous
centipede in history was said to be much shorter than a hundred meters. Yet the one
before him was a whole hundred meters long—it even had wings on its back. Two pairs of
them, to be exact.
It was truly unbelievable.
The ancient poisonous centipede?
Ambrose and everyone around him froze.
Unable to resist, Ambrose asked, "Uncle Chester, what's an ancient poisonous centipede?"
Chester took a deep breath, speaking slowly, "The ancient poisonous centipede is a
venomous creature from ancient times. The venom in its body is overwhelmingly fatal,
destroying everything in its path. It is said that any form of contact with the venom will
infect the person immediately, with no antidote.
"In other words, it is a creature that stirs nothing but fear in the hearts of anyone who
hears about it, even the most powerful of gods. However, that creature was supposed to
have gone extinct several thousand years ago. I can’t believe I'm seeing it with my own
eyes, near the Five Poison Sect!"
A creature of such terror?
Ambrose and the rest of the Carter family members around him gasped in fear. All of them
were stunned.
They had thought it was only a regular centipede. They had no idea what they were in for.
"Skylar Blanc!"
Cayden finally snapped back to his senses. He laughed mockingly in Skylar's direction.
"And here I thought that you had brought an army of your own since you spoke so
arrogantly. All you have is a giant centipede!"
Cayden was not very smart, of course, he had no idea that the creature looming before
him was one of the deadliest beasts in all of history. Just like the people around him, he
had thought it was just a centipede.
Skylar let out a gentle smirk, not saying anything. Instead, he felt around his pockets and
pulled out a pouch, emptying its contents over the crowd below him.
It was a pouch containing the Pollen of Blinding Fragrance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe powder drifted down in a fog, enveloping the crowd. Its fragrance was heady and overwhelming,
taking over the Heavenly Alliance members' senses.
Skylar had done that because the ancient poisonous centipede was particularly sensitive to the
fragrance of that pollen.
Of course, that was not information that most people would know. It was only recorded in the Five Poison
Sect's secret scriptures.
Then, Skylar called out to Cayden cheerfully. "I'll let you have your fun with the giant centipede, then.
Sorry, I can't join this time.
Good day!"
Following that, Skylar drifted toward the distant heavens in the night.
'He thinks he can escape?'
Cayden squared his shoulders, bracing himself to command the Heavenly Alliance members to pursue
Skylar.
Under the influence of the pollen, the ancient poisonous centipede had grown uncontrollable with its
bloodthirst, with a series of hisses, it charged toward the Heavenly Alliance members.
One could only see its two hundred legs thrashing wildly through the crowd like razor-sharp knives,
wreaking havoc and bloodshed.
"Argh!"
It had appeared so suddenly, catching many of the Heavenly Alliance members off guard. They let out
ear-piercing screams, collapsing one by one in their own blood.
