Fifty light-years upwind of Dry-Well’s Central Agricultural Sector, the dark vacuum of space had turned a sickening, bubbling shade of rotten green.
Three moon-sized Corpse-Rot Poison Asteroids—refined by Alchemy Sovereign Yao over two thousand years using the virulent plague-gas of dead stars and ten billion venomous space-centipedes—had just been detonated right inside the main astral wind current.
Riding the fast cosmic wind, a wall of glowing green plague-fog a hundred million miles wide rolled forward like a devouring beast. Wherever the edge of the green fog brushed against stray space-rocks, the solid stone hissed, bubbled, and melted into foul-smelling green slime!
Hidden ten thousand miles behind the plague cloud, a black bone warship shaped like a giant centipede floated in the dark.
Standing on its bow was Poison Elder Wu Du, the Void-Lotus Guild’s Chief of Dark Medicine and a vicious Rank 8 Peak poison master whose fingernails were three inches long and purple-black with venom.
“Hehehe! Look at that beautiful green tide!” Poison Elder Wu Du cackled, rubbing his purple hands together as he switched on a sector-wide broadcast horn. “Sovereign Yao was too polite with that country bumpkin Pei Xuan! Why argue about pill prices when we can just poison the air across fifty of his richest farm planets?!”
