Chapter 811 - 464: Is It All an Illusion Realm?

This was clearly Blood Shadow Yama preparing to unleash his Small Thousand World—the Blood Sea Abyss! Though the three seemed to be cooperating, they were far from united. Guanghan Fairy was obviously holding back her true strength. Giant Spirit Immortal, on the other hand, was a reckless brute. While he excelled in direct confrontations, he was terribly ill-equipped to deal with such cunning, unorthodox tactics. Thus, not bothering to waste his breath on them, Blood Shadow Yama decided to simply unleash his full power.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng sat cross-legged on the roof of the main hall, his hands constantly shifting through Dharma Seals. Several floating Water Mirrors had now materialized around him. One of the Water Mirrors clearly reflected the figures of Giant Spirit Immortal, Guanghan Fairy, and the other Tribulation Cultivators. Even the sight of Blood Shadow Yama conjuring the Blood Sea Abyss was crystal clear through this Water Realm. The scene unfolding within the Water Realm amused Zou Feng quite a bit. These three Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivators that Li Chengxin had lured here were nothing extraordinary!

Of course, if he were to fight them head-on, Zou Feng would have no chance of winning. Even if he unleashed the full power of the Xuanwu Poison Domain and joined forces with Zhu Caiwei and Zhao Feixiong for a direct confrontation, their odds of victory remained slim. However, if he could keep them running in circles within the Poison Domain long enough for its power to slowly erode them... Once the Poison Domain’s corruption seeped deep enough, these three Tribulation Cultivators would no longer be a threat. And to stall them and keep them trapped in the Xuanwu Poison Domain long enough to do so...

CRACK! The mirror shattered. The entire Water Mirror rapidly dissolved into ripples and scattered. Blood Shadow Yama’s Blood Sea Abyss materialized abruptly, violently churning to devour everything in its vicinity. But Zou Feng was already prepared. With a flick of his finger, another Water Mirror draped over it, perfectly enveloping the Blood Sea Abyss before it could unleash its true might. Miraculously, once enveloped by another Water Realm, the Blood Sea Abyss gradually calmed and ceased its rampage. However, this wasn’t because Zou Feng’s "Water Realm" was powerful enough to easily suppress a Small Thousand World cast by a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. Rather, it was Blood Shadow Yama who actively chose to withdraw his Skill, stopping his Small Thousand World from fully taking shape.

"It worked!"

"Hmph, nothing special!"

On the other side, the moment Blood Shadow Yama exerted his strength, the surrounding poisonous mist was completely dispersed. The Xuanwu Palace ahead lost its previous blurry, disorienting feel and became sharply defined. In front of the main hall, the Poison Demons still engaged in their dance now wore obvious expressions of panic.

Seeing this, Blood Shadow Yama naturally assumed that his Blood Sea Abyss had shattered Zou Feng’s flashy tricks. Therefore, to conserve his energy to deal with the main target, Zou Feng, and to guard against Guanghan Fairy and Giant Spirit Immortal snatching his rightful share of the spoils, Blood Shadow Yama obviously wouldn’t continue using his ultimate move. Allowing the Blood Sea Abyss to fully materialize would be a massive drain on his energy.

Zou Feng had anticipated this exact mindset. By continuously layering Mirror Flower Water Moon like nesting dolls, he scored another effortless success. After his Soul-Seizing Blood Eyes and Great Universal Hand reached the Realm of Transcendence, his Mirror Flower Water Moon, which had previously only existed in an embryonic state, advanced significantly. It could now ensnare Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivators without them even realizing it. However, this was also partly because the three felt victory was already within their grasp, inevitably leading to carelessness. Had the three gone all out from the start and unleashed their strongest Divine Skills, the outcome would have been entirely different. But now...

"Trying to escape?!" Within the new Water Realm, Giant Spirit Immortal let out a thunderous roar. The explosive shout blasted the panic-stricken, fleeing Poison Demons right out of the air, sending them plummeting to the ground. He then dashed forward and threw a vicious punch. In an instant, every Poison Demon—save for Zhu Caiwei—was obliterated into a mist of blood.

Zhu Caiwei turned pale with fright. She hastily wove a thick barrier of transparent spider webs in front of her, intending to block Giant Spirit Immortal’s next wave of attacks. Unbeknownst to her, Guanghan Fairy had already slipped behind her like a phantom. Before Zhu Caiwei could even turn her head, Guanghan Fairy blew a gentle breath against the nape of her neck. The moment the breath touched her skin, Zhu Caiwei was instantly paralyzed. In less than a second, she froze into a solid ice sculpture. Staring at her prize with great interest, Guanghan Fairy unfastened the pouch at her waist and swiftly stowed Zhu Caiwei inside.

"This little spider is quite interesting. I’ll take her," Guanghan Fairy announced, entirely ignoring Giant Spirit Immortal and Blood Shadow Yama’s opinions. Though both men were slightly displeased by her presumption, they ultimately swallowed their complaints.

The priority was still to catch Zou Feng as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they had assumed they had already shattered the Illusion Realm and that dragging Zou Feng out of the Xuanwu Palace was only a matter of time. To their surprise, even after turning the entire palace inside out, they couldn’t find a single trace of him. Standing amidst the ruins of the Xuanwu Palace, the three looked at each other in dismay, wondering if Zou Feng had slipped away long ago.

Ultimately, it was Guanghan Fairy who realized something was wrong.

"Wait, is it possible that we... are still trapped inside the Illusion Realm?!" Guanghan Fairy asked, growing increasingly suspicious.

Blood Shadow Yama immediately waved off the idea. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. I clearly just..."

Halfway through his sentence, Blood Shadow Yama suddenly lost his confidence. He realized that although he had deployed the Blood Sea Abyss moments ago, he hadn’t allowed it to fully materialize.

"HEH HEH HEH..." An unfamiliar, eerie chuckle rang out abruptly. "Three idiots. It’s too late to realize it now!"

Along with the taunt, Zou Feng popped out of nowhere. Beside him, the very same Poison Demons that had just been slaughtered launched a surprise attack on the three Nascent Soul Tribulation Cultivators.

Faced with Zou Feng’s sudden assault, Giant Spirit Immortal and the others were actually quite bewildered. They didn’t understand. Zou Feng had them perfectly trapped, so why show himself now? Fighting them head-on was plainly courting death. After all, they were only trapped; it wasn’t as if they were injured or significantly drained of energy. As expected, Zou Feng’s baffling, suicidal behavior resulted in his immediate doom. He charged at them fiercely, unleashing all sorts of thunderous Divine Skills, but it was all bark and no bite. The trio claimed a total victory without even breaking a sweat.

"Tsk, damn it, this is still an Illusion Realm!" This time, even Giant Spirit Immortal quickly realized what was happening.

Guanghan Fairy, who had already suspected as much, grew genuinely enraged. Holding nothing back, she unleashed her own Small Thousand World—the Immortal Peach Orchard.

Meanwhile, Zou Feng remained seated cross-legged on the Lotus Platform atop the main hall’s roof. He felt increasingly confident in his ability to toy with these three Tribulation Cultivators. However, the moment Guanghan Fairy deployed her Immortal Peach Orchard, the Water Realm surrounding him began to rapidly fracture. This time was different; Guanghan Fairy was no longer holding back. The Immortal Peach Orchard continued to exude its formidable power, on the verge of fully materializing. If this continued, the Water Realm would shatter entirely, allowing the three Tribulation Cultivators to see through the Illusion and reach the Truth. Even though the Poison Domain’s corruption had already begun taking its toll on them, Zou Feng decided to play one of his trump cards just to be safe...

Within the illusion, Guanghan Fairy was still using her Immortal Peach Orchard to aggressively pierce through the Illusion Realm. Enemies trapped inside the Immortal Peach Orchard would develop an uncontrollable appetite for its massive immortal peaches. Not even Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators were entirely immune; it took a tremendous amount of willpower for them to barely suppress the terrifying hunger. Moreover, anyone inside the orchard could be crushed by a suddenly falling peach at any moment. The impact was akin to being struck by a mountain, and worse, it would amplify the victim’s appetite even further. Ultimately, they would be reduced to a raving lunatic driven only by the desire to gorge on peaches. And once they took a single bite, their fate would rest entirely at Guanghan Fairy’s absolute mercy...

Seeing Guanghan Fairy fly into a rage and unleash her ultimate move, Giant Spirit Immortal and Blood Shadow Yama wisely steered clear of her wrath. Although the Immortal Peach Orchard didn’t target them as enemies, the sight of the perfectly ripe peaches still made them swallow hard.

Soon, just as the Immortal Peach Orchard was about to fully materialize, a voice that both Guanghan Fairy and Giant Spirit Immortal recognized instantly echoed through the air.

"Guang Han, Giant Spirit, you are hosting a Peach Blossom Assembly here and didn’t even invite this Palace Master?"

Upon hearing this voice, Giant Spirit Immortal—the reckless brute who had always claimed to fear nothing in heaven or on earth—felt his legs instantly turn to jelly, and he nearly dropped straight to his knees.
