The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

"Snake Island. The Snake Island," Xian shouted when Karsha told him where he would be spending two months on Snake Island. Xian's face turned pale upon hearing Karsha's words.

"Yes, that Snake Island," Elder June shook her head before responding. She, too, was going through a similar situation as the young man who saw Karsha as his big brother.

"This is very bad," Xian said as he sat down. "Snake Island is the last place a person should go. These great families sure are wicked for forcing a Master stage cultivator to stay there for 60 days," Xian continued, sounding like he had some hidden knowledge about the place.

"You sound familiar with the place," Karsha, picking up on it immediately, asked.

"Of course, I am familiar with that place. My grandfather told me about it," Xian revealed, causing Elder June, who was leaning two meters away from them, to take a step forward. "What do you know about that place? Even a small detail will do," Karsha asked, hoping for any detail that might help him when he entered the island in nine days' time.

"You better sit down, both of you," Xian said, sounding mature. "What I am about to share is hidden knowledge in my family, so I will appreciate it if it stays between us," he added, ensuring they understood the gravity of the situation.

"Hold on, Xian," Elder June said as she retrieved an artifact from her storage ring. She then activated it before gesturing for Xian to continue his narrative.

"On the outside, my family looks like a poor village family with no future. However, we are descendants of a very powerful healer. I don't know if any of you have heard of him, but my grandpa was known throughout the Central Continent as the 'Lone Healer.'"

Elder June, who was listening, arched an eyebrow. "Your grandfather is the Lone Healer?" she asked. Xian simply nodded, a proud smile escaping his lips.

"He is known for curing most sicknesses caused by snake venoms and other deadly poisons. Long story short, he was a very powerful healer; however, he died from poison even he, the Lone Healer couldn't find an antidote for it.

A few years before he died, he told me about his last voyage. In order to create the ultimate poison and antidote, he and a group of 20 Great Sages went on an expedition to retrieve the Venom from the Ten Overlords."

"The Ten Overlords?" Karsha asked.

"The Ten Overlords are the protectors of the ten sections of Snake Island. He said the island is divided into ten sections, and a Tier 7 Mutant rules each section. These Tier 7 snakes cannot rise to the next tier due to a curse placed on the island."

"So, because they knew the highest Tier there were the Tier 7 snakes, they were confident they would be able to get what they wanted without much difficulty.

But they were wrong. He said when they got to the island, they discovered there were more than ten sections. There was actually an 11th section that housed a very peaceful breed of snakes known as the 'Purple Tail Anaconda.' They are very peaceful yet deadly.

Of course, he was a healer, so he knew all those types of snakes, so he knew they shouldn't antagonize them. However, his companions didn't listen and went straight into ambushing the Purple Tail Anacondas.

It was a battle they could have won, but during the battle, the ten overlords came. He initially thought they were there to attack them; however, to their surprise, the 10 overlords came for the Anacondas.

It was a brutal massacre. All his companions died, and even he was poisoned by a Tier 7 Purple Tail Anaconda. He managed to escape, but because of how powerful the Venom was, he only managed to suppress its effect for 40 years.

He couldn't retrieve the recipe they were after, but he came upon something very important. The ten overlords hated the Purple Tail Anaconda, and from what he saw, their rivalry and constant battles were what made the place very dangerous.

There is no way a person can survive there since the air itself is poisonous. And should you find yourself against a Purple Tail Anaconda, you shouldn't resist since you'll be dead before knowing it."

A cold sweat broke out on Karsha's forehead when he heard Xian's last sentence. He had heard about how dangerous the place was, but never in his wildest imagination did he think there would be Tier 7 monsters running around there.

Currently, he could only handle Tier 5 monsters. Even a Tier 5 Alpha or Mutant would pose a challenge for him, yet he would be going to a place where 10 Tier 7 Mutants were roaming about.

But if that wasn't dangerous enough, there was another breed of snake that was even more dangerous than the others. And from what Xian said, these peaceful snakes wouldn't be so peaceful anymore.

The attacks from humans caused hundreds of their kind to die, meaning they wouldn't show any kindness to any human that appeared in their territory.

"Did your grandpa say anything about the Ten Overlords?" Karsha asked, trying to see if there was a way he could stay alive for a few days, eight days to be exact. It was then his system and class would be activated.

"Yes. The Ten Overlords are the key ingredient in making the Master Antidote," Xian said, and immediately Karsha heard him, and the recipe appeared in his mind.

"Ah, the Serpentine Antidote," Karsha muttered. Elder June, who immediately recognized the name, asked, "You know of the Serpentbane antidote?"

"Of course I do; I am an Alchemist, after all," Karsha said with his chest puffed up, forgetting he was bound to die in a few days, lol. "With a bit of practice, I can craft pills with 100% purity."

"Stop joking, brat. This is not funny," Elder June said, anger evident as veins popped on her forehead.

Karsha, feeling her anger directed at him, began reciting the ingredients, "1 drop of Fangtongue Frog Snake Venom, one drop of Acidcoil Corrosive venom, one drop of Bloodfang Vampire venom, one drop of ScaleCrusher venom, one drop of ShadowCoil venom..."

"How do you know that?" Elder June asked, her face almost touching Karsha's. "Like I said, I'm an alchemist. But it's no use. I don't have the venom from the Ten Overlords."

"Follow me, you too, Xian," Elder June said as Karsha and Xian floated after her. Their destination was back to the grand mansion. A few minutes later, they landed at the entrance of the Mansion.

"Father, you have to save Karsha. He cannot be allowed to die in that vile place," Elder June spoke immediately after they entered the Mansion.

"June, what is the meaning of this?" Sect Master Xu, upon hearing his daughter's voice, asked in an annoyed tone. "He has a way to save mom," Elder June replied almost immediately.

"What did you just say?" he asked. "He has the recipe for making the Serpentbane Antidote and even said he can craft the pill with 100% purity," Elder June said, revealing to all the Elders who were still discussing Karsha's case.

"And you believed him. What makes you think he can do that?" Elder Lin asked, a hint of anger visible on her face.

"One drop of Fangtongue venom, one drop of Acidcoil venom, one drop of Bloodfang venom, one drop of Scalecrusher venom, one drop of Shadowcoil venom, one drop of Infernoscale venom, one drop of Mistshroud venom, one drop of Thundercoil venom, one drop of Crystalisk venom, one drop of Abyssal Leviathan venom, three leaves of Healing Thyme, two petals of Golden Lotus, one pinch of Ground Mandrake Root, one sprig of Moonlit Mint, 1 ounce of Dragon's Blood Resin, 1 ounce of Dragonhide Gelatin," Karsha listed all the ingredients without skipping even one.

"How did you know this?" Elder Lin asked with a shocked look. "My Master gave it to me."

"Who is your master?" This time, Elder Chen asked.

"Even if I tell you, you wouldn't believe me," Karsha smiled. Indeed, if he told them his master was the greatest Alchemist to have ever walked the face of the earth, they wouldn't believe him.

"Tell me, Lin, is the recipe the right one?" Sect Master Xu, on the other hand, asked the most obvious question. "Even though I don't know the whole recipe, all the ingredients he mentioned are in what I know. I think he is right."

"Of course I am right; my master wouldn't lie to me," Karsha said in a prideful tone.

"Kid, how sure are you that you can concoct a pill from these ingredients should we get them all?" Sect Master Xu asked.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Well, for now, I have to practice and attain Saint level before I can concoct a Rank 5 Earth Grade Pill, but I am confident I will be able to do it. All I need is a new cauldron and flame for practice." Since he hasn't practiced yet, he still has to get the technique into his muscles before he can break through.

"Kid, I need you to survive on the Island. Also, if you can, I want you to help me cure my wife, and in return, I will give my daughter to you," Sect Master Xu said, surprising everyone in the room.

They all knew who the daughter was. However, when they saw Elder June wasn't objecting to her father's statement, another surprise hit them.

"Please, save my mother, and I will marry you," Elder June said as she transformed from her wrinkled look to a very beautiful, angel-like young lady in her 20s.

For a minute, Karsha stood there frozen. It wasn't because of the promise or the attention he was receiving. It was more from the face that was staring back at him. Elder June was the definition of beauty. She has beautiful blue eyes, the same as Karsha's, but a closer look into those two big orbs showed her blue eyes had a certain allure.

Then came her perfect bone structure and long silver hair flowing down her back. She is just too beautiful. Even the three elders couldn't help but admire her beauty.

"I...I will try my best to stay alive and extract the Venom. As long as I don't die the first few days, I promise you I will be able to come back with the Venoms," Karsha said, still staring into her beautiful blue eyes.

"Xian, buddy, we have to go out again. Let's go sell some monster bodies and buy some recipes. I have a beauty to win over," After saying that, Karsha started dragging the pitiful Xian, who was also lost in Elder June's beauty, out of the Mansion.
