Chapter 762 - 440: Holy Lotus Rebirth

Although the hundreds of Dragons of Evil Qi were breathtakingly fierce, the three Demon Immortals were no pushovers. Furthermore, the continuous buffs provided by the array of the Demon-slaying Platform remained unbroken.

They had merely been caught off guard by the side effect’s Critical Strike moments ago, causing them to involuntarily collapse to the ground. They hadn’t actually been intimidated into kneeling before Zou Feng. Now fully recovered, they bellowed in fury, each unleashing their Divine Skills to combat the Dragons of Evil Qi.

Red Tiger swung his blade in a blinding flurry, its gleaming edge accompanied by soul-stirring tiger roars.

Cyan Wolf continuously released phantom-like Demon Wolves. In mere moments, he had conjured a massive army of a thousand wolves.

Jade Fox, meanwhile, produced a long, thorny whip. Using an eerily unpredictable Body Skill, she glided around the Dragons of Evil Qi. Whenever she lashed out, the impact bizarrely forced the ethereal dragons to let out delicate, almost feminine cries. Her whip was clearly imbued with a profoundly bizarre power. A few extra lashes could probably beat an iron-willed brute into a dainty maiden.

With all three Demon Immortals unleashing their respective Divine Skills, the seemingly overwhelming Dragons of Evil Qi gradually lost their momentum on the Demon-slaying Platform and were rapidly defeated.

"Zou Feng, is this what you meant by... the Immortal Slaying Stage? Don’t make me laugh!" Seeing the dragons dissipate, Red Tiger immediately felt a renewed surge of confidence. However, before spewing his mockery, he completely ignored the fact that it was three against one, and they had the backing of an array that had taken years to set up.

"The true potential of a core disciple from the Pinnacle Celestial Demon Sect? How underwhelming!" The army of Demon Wolves conjured by Cyan Wolf continued to multiply, densely occupying half of the Demon-slaying Platform. It was a terrifying formation that would make anyone’s skin crawl.

Jade Fox’s beautiful eyes fluttered as she stared longingly at Zou Feng’s bare torso, occasionally gulping in anticipation. It was entirely obvious that she was already fantasizing about bending him into a dozen different compromising positions in her mind.

In truth, Zou Feng had never expected the Dragons of Evil Qi to finish off the three Demon Immortals. Opening with the Evil King’s Hundred Dragon Flame Wave was merely a stalling tactic to buy enough time for his next move.

By now, Zou Feng was already seated upon a giant golden lotus. The Holy Lotus Rebirth Domain—born from his newly formed Golden Core and his Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill breaking through to the Realm of Transcendence—had officially taken shape.

As soon as this Domain manifested, not only did the surrounding environment take on a sacred and pristine aura, but Zou Feng himself shed his previously wicked and imposing presence. Instead, he looked exactly like a Saint descending to bring salvation.

Seeing Zou Feng in this state, the three Demon Immortals abruptly ceased their clamoring. It wasn’t that they were cowardly. When confronted with something that completely defied all logic and comprehension, anyone would be momentarily stunned. However, Red Tiger’s sheer thick-headedness worked in his favor, allowing him to be the first to snap out of the daze.

"Hmph, cheap parlor tricks! Take my Hundred Beasts Roar Soul Blood Tyrant Slash!"

Before his words even faded, Red Tiger closed the distance, teleporting right in front of Zou Feng. The Demon Blade in his hand, which had sacrificed countless innocent creatures, slashed down, churning up a tsunami of blood-red Sword Qi.

Admittedly, although the name of Red Tiger’s attack was laughably lame, its destructive power was utterly terrifying. Fueled by his Blood Soul Sacrificial Blade and Soul-Burning Burst Qi, the strike was vicious to the extreme.

"Die!"

Unleashing his Big Move, Red Tiger was brimming with absolute confidence. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that anyone witnessing this strike would involuntarily think, "This strike is impossibly badass!"

Naturally, the only person entirely unfazed by this devastating attack was Zou Feng, who sat cross-legged on the golden lotus with his eyes closed. He didn’t panic in the slightest. Instead, he calmly and continuously shifted the Dharma Seals in his hands, exuding an air of absolute mastery.

It wasn’t until a split second before the Demon Blade struck him that Zou Feng finally reached out. With a motion that appeared agonizingly slow yet was impossibly fast, he pinched the edge of the blade between two fingers.

The visual was incredibly jarring. It was a heavy, earth-shattering blow surging with monstrous Demonic Qi—a strike capable of cleaving a mountain in half. Yet, it had been effortlessly halted by a seemingly weak and delicate Two-Finger Zen.

The scene froze in place. The blood waves, Demonic Qi, and all the terrifying visual phenomena empowering the strike rapidly dissipated.

Unsurprisingly, Red Tiger’s mind went completely blank. He simply refused to believe that what he was seeing was real. In reality, Red Tiger hadn’t been paralyzed. He frantically tried to force the blade down further, and when that failed, he attempted to yank it back.

None of it worked. His Demon Blade felt as if it had been permanently fused between Zou Feng’s fingers.

In the very next moment, a tiny golden lotus bloomed right at Zou Feng’s fingertips.

SNAP!

The Blood-Crying Demon Blade instantly broke in two.

"URGH!" Red Tiger sprayed a mouthful of foul blood, letting out a blood-curdling shriek. The Blood-Crying Demon Blade was his True Name Treasure, an artifact he had painstakingly refined for hundreds of years. Having it violently snapped in half like this virtually guaranteed a devastating backlash.

As Red Tiger coughed up blood and was sent flying backward, Cyan Wolf wasn’t about to just stand by and watch. His army of several thousand Demon Wolves fiercely charged, swarming toward Zou Feng and blotting out the sky.

Jade Fox wasn’t sitting idle either. It was unclear when she had initiated her move, but she was already right behind Zou Feng, her bizarre long whip lashing ruthlessly at his back.

Facing this two-pronged assault, Zou Feng offered a calm, indifferent smile and continued to weave Dharma Seals with his hands.

"Flowers Everywhere..."

Holding his hands in the posture of the Dharma Seal, Zou Feng lightly tapped the empty air.

In an instant, the thousands of charging Demon Wolves abruptly transformed into golden lotuses. What had been a vicious tide of rampaging beasts was, in the blink of an eye, replaced by a sea of radiant lotuses blooming all over the Demon-slaying Platform. Furthermore, these golden lotuses blossomed in magnificent unison, transforming the chilling and hatred-filled Demon-slaying Platform into a sacred paradise.

"AAAAAH!"

The very moment his thousands of Demon Wolves turned into blossoming lotuses, Cyan Wolf clutched his head and screamed in agony. Having his most prized Skill so thoroughly shattered subjected him to a violent magical backlash.

Jade Fox’s whip, however, managed to slip through his defenses. Her sneak attack landed, viciously striking Zou Feng squarely on the back.
