Chapter 780 - 449: Even the Celestial King Would Have to Dance a Tune!

"Zou Feng!?"

Though the voice was unfamiliar, Duan Ruohai had naturally seen Zou Feng’s appearance long ago. The moment he recognized him, Duan Ruohai’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat. His previous deductions had been correct; the one who joined forces with Zhao Feixiong was indeed not a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. However, this Zou Feng was undoubtedly the most troublesome character below the Nascent Soul Realm.

No wonder his earlier divination hadn’t been as smooth as usual—it turned out to be the interference from this boy’s immense fortune...

His thoughts raced like lightning. After a brief moment of shock, Duan Ruohai quickly calmed down. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Accidentally falling into this trap might very well be a great opportunity for him.

It had to be said that Zou Feng, relying on his status as a Child of Fortune, had become arrogantly inflated to an absurd degree. To think he actually dared to target a mighty figure of the Nascent Soul Realm like him. Such fortune-ruining behavior was truly no different from a moth flying into a flame—courting death!

With a cold snort, Duan Ruohai formed a Dharma Seal with his hands. His exclusive Angry Yama Dharma Aspect slowly materialized, exuding an irresistible, terrifying aura akin to a descending Divine Buddha. For ordinary mortals, a Tribulation Cultivator from the Yama Underworld who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm was a bona fide King Yan. If they crafted their External Dharma Aspect into a sculpture and disguised themselves as Immortals, they could genuinely receive offerings from mortals and absorb the profoundly mysterious Power of Incense.

In fact, upon reaching the "King Yan" level, these Underworld Tribulation Cultivators would raise suitable mortals in their own exclusive Alternate Spaces to provide them with the Power of Incense. Of course, this Power of Incense was fundamentally built upon extreme fear. Driven by fear, the mortals would ceaselessly worship their External Dharma Aspect. Since they needed to constantly generate fear, it was naturally necessary to subject these mortals to various inhumane tortures. Thus, the mortals within the Yama Space had long been reduced to a state where they were neither fully human nor ghost.

One could only imagine the might of a Dharma Aspect nourished by the Power of Fear. At this moment, the Angry Yama Dharma Aspect summoned by Duan Ruohai possessed a seething fury that could pierce the firmament, much like the wrath of heaven itself. Let alone mortals, even Cultivators would be overwhelmed by the intimidation, forced to their knees in worship.

The moment the Dharma Aspect appeared, Zou Feng’s Shaking Flower Hand movements couldn’t help but falter into chaos. It was as if his own anger had been ignited by this Dharma Aspect. Inexplicably, he wanted to throw a massive temper tantrum or even directly ram himself into the Angry Yama Dharma Aspect. To put it bluntly, the Dharma Aspect that Duan Ruohai summoned was actually a potent form of mental pollution. This mental pollution contained the Power of Incense and the Power of Cause and Effect. It was incredibly formidable! For a moment, Zou Feng’s "art" was inevitably suppressed.

Fortunately, Zou Feng still had a trump card!

At this moment in the Black Tortoise Poison Domain, although there was BGM provided by his five Dao Companions, with himself and Zhao Feixiong acting as lead dancers, a major killing move had yet to be served.

"AYI-YA-YI-YA—"

Lu Wu was smart enough to notice at a glance that Zou Feng’s Shaking Flower Hand movements were slightly deformed, and she immediately made her dazzling debut. In the Xuanwu Poison Domain, Lu Wu had an absolute home-field advantage. With her incredibly raspy "broken throat" voice, she could sing any heavenly melody into pure mental pollution. Of course, one could also call it a somewhat alternative form of art.

Lu Wu’s raspy sonic boom upon her debut might not have dealt any substantial damage to Duan Ruohai, but it gave him a long-lost urge to urinate. This caught him completely off guard. He wondered, "I’m a mighty figure of the Nascent Soul Realm for god’s sake! How could I possibly feel the need to relieve myself!?" He instantly shifted his gaze toward Lu Wu and exclaimed inwardly, "There’s an expert here!?"

Lu Wu’s singing left Duan Ruohai dumbfounded, but to Zou Feng and the others who appreciated this kind of art, it was the sound of heaven! This was, even more so, Zou Feng’s exclusive BGM. Having such an impassioned and rhythmic vocal performance was equivalent to buffing him with the status effect: "No one can defeat me in my own BGM."

His Shaking Flower Hand movements subsequently returned to normal, becoming even firmer and more powerful than before. Blossoms of Golden Lotus were continuously shaken out, rapidly ascending into the air. In a short while, the sky above the Xuanwu Poison Domain was filled with dense, continuously flashing Golden Lotus Lamps. This was akin to countless spotlights and strobe lights bombarding the Xuanwu Poison Domain with dazzling light pollution. Subconsciously, Zou Feng had evolved the Xuanwu Poison Domain into a nightclub—a place he had never actually visited in his past life...

With all sorts of special effects maxed out, Zou Feng regained the initiative, dancing even more madly and losing himself entirely in the rhythm. As if sounding the horn for a full-scale assault, the five great Poison Demons, including Zhu Caiwei, joined the fray one after another, putting on a literal Dance of the Demons. Of course, the primary purpose behind the dancing of these Poisonous Demon Maidens was to continuously bless the Xuanwu Poison Domain with more of the Five Poison Creatures. After all, mental pollution alone was definitely not enough; they couldn’t neglect the physical erosion of the body. With the mind polluted, the physical body would become more susceptible to poisoning. Conversely, a weakened and poisoned body would make the mind more vulnerable to pollution. This two-pronged approach was exactly what made the Xuanwu Poison Domain so formidable.

Under the immense power of the BGM, the roles of attacker and defender reversed once again. Duan Ruohai was forced to channel his Dharma Aspect with all his might to resist the pervasive erosion. Although he was surprised that Zou Feng could achieve such a feat while only in the Golden Core Realm, Duan Ruohai remained unpanicked. Even though the two sides seemed to be fighting to a draw right now, the disparity in their Realms was not something that could be so easily bridged.

Setting aside the fact that the endurance of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator inherently far surpassed that of someone in the Golden Core Realm, the continuous supply of the Power of Incense from his exclusive Alternate Space alone allowed him to carelessly outlast Zou Feng for three days and three nights. Meanwhile, as a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, the most Zou Feng could do was take some Elixirs to replenish himself. Under such a scenario where he was firing on all cylinders, let alone three days and three nights, if he could even last for a single day and night, Duan Ruohai wouldn’t mind kowtowing to him.
