Chapter 819: Chapter 468: Scheming in Vain

This was all just to let Gongyang Marquis enjoy the strongest side effect Critical Strike to date. He had arrived at the perfect time!

“Gongyang Marquis, is it? You’ve worked hard, traveling thousands of miles personally to deliver a congratulatory gift…

“Then I thank you very much!”

Before his voice could even fade, Zou Feng immediately activated the side effect Critical Strike.

At this moment, Gongyang Marquis had already leaped high above the Glazed Immortal Palace and was exerting his natural predator-like suppression against Zou Feng, the King of Human Gu. Unexpectedly, an electric shock-like sensation suddenly swept through his entire body. His eyes filled with confusion as he froze in midair.

The Celestial Tribulation that Zou Feng had just endured consisted of the “Torrential Thunder,” the “Ten Thousand Poison Devouring Body,” the “Thunderous Sound Soul Suppressing,” and the “Annihilation Light Flame.” Any single one of these four grand courses was capable of holding its own as a deadly force.

However, Zou Feng had stored all the effects caused by these four grand courses, invisibly mixing the four types of Celestial Tribulations together. After the four Celestial Tribulations mixed and “fermented,” they were all unleashed at once. Even Zou Feng himself could hardly imagine how terrifying their power would be. Therefore, he was quite confident that this strike would absolutely give Gongyang Marquis the thrill of a lifetime!

As Zou Feng expected, after a brief moment of stagnation, Gongyang Marquis’s stomach began to visibly swell. The sight made it look as if this guy was about to undergo a second Nascent Soul Formation.

However, the thing inside his stomach had absolutely nothing to do with any “Nascent Soul.” Instead, it was incubating an extremely terrifying Celestial Calamity. Because these Celestial Calamities were instantly transferred to Gongyang Marquis in the form of a side effect Critical Strike, their massive power had nowhere to vent. It could only concentrate into a single point and rapidly expand within his body. This was what caused the visual shock of his suddenly bulging stomach.

Originally, Zou Feng thought that this unventable power would ultimately turn into a massive explosion, blasting Gongyang Marquis into ashes or completely destroying his physical body so that only his Nascent Soul could luckily escape. But as he continued to watch, Zou Feng felt that the development of the situation was vastly different from what he had expected.

First of all, after Gongyang Marquis’s stomach swelled several times its normal size, it stopped growing. At this size, it did not look like it was going to explode in the end. Moreover, upon closer sensing, one could actually detect that some kind of Creatures were truly about to be born from Gongyang Marquis’s stomach!

Back when Zou Feng was still a Martial Artist, some brilliant techniques could temporarily create Creatures. Now that Zou Feng was casting the Evil King’s Fiery Black Dragon Wave, the same principle applied. Those black dragons were all individual Creatures that could only exist for a short time. Therefore, it was not uncommon for powerful forces, under serendipitous circumstances, to give birth to corresponding Creatures.

Thus, it was not entirely strange that the side effect of the Celestial Tribulation that Gongyang Marquis was enduring was suddenly incubating an unknown lifeform. Still, Zou Feng could not help but sigh. The side effect transfer was becoming more and more outrageous, even reaching the point where it could make a man have a baby.

“You… What did you do?!”

Despite enduring immense pain, this inexplicable turn of events made Gongyang Marquis immediately point the finger at Zou Feng. Everything had been perfectly fine, but for such a bizarre mess to suddenly occur, it could only be Zou Feng playing tricks.

Zou Feng sneered. “Heh, you messed around everywhere and got yourself pregnant, yet you come asking me what I did?

“Is the Royal Family of the Dubhe Divine Domain full of such shameless people?

“Old thief, you should just focus on protecting the fetus and giving birth first!”

Hearing this, Gongyang Marquis almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot. As the victim, he naturally knew that his stomach had somehow been struck by some kind of Evil Skill, resulting in the fact that some Creatures were indeed continuously taking shape inside. But Zou Feng insisted that he had gotten pregnant from messing around everywhere. This was akin to pouring oil on the fire, instantly giving Gongyang Marquis the feeling that his Dao heart was about to collapse.

As a dignified member of the Dubhe Divine Domain Royal Family, a Cultivation Expert at the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection, and a grown man, how could he give birth to a child in public?!

“You son of a bitch, I’ll kill you! Aaaah…”

Flying into a humiliating rage, Gongyang Marquis forced back his discomfort and prepared to continue his attack on Zou Feng. However, his forced movement disturbed the “fetal energy.” The Creatures gestating in his stomach were naturally extremely dissatisfied with this and violently thrashed around a few times.

“Ouch—”

Gongyang Marquis cried out in pain, hurriedly clutching his stomach and slamming on the brakes in midair. It should be known that this was no ordinary pain. The thing inside his stomach was incubated by the Celestial Tribulation, which meant that every time that thing moved, it was almost equivalent to a Celestial Calamity. No matter how powerful a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection was, they obviously could not withstand a Celestial Calamity wreaking havoc directly inside their stomach.

“Tsk, I told you not to move around blindly. Just stay put, push a little harder, and it’ll be born soon!”

Zou Feng said these words not just to mock him, but to further break down Gongyang Marquis’s Dao heart, making him die a little faster.

This series of sudden and unexpected events naturally left the nearby onlookers utterly dumbfounded.

“Uh, who is this guy? Did he suddenly pop out just to give birth in public?!” Zhao Feixiong still hadn’t figured out what was going on. He had thought this guy popped out aggressively, looking like he had Zou Feng completely cornered, only to suddenly and inexplicably grow a huge belly the next moment, on the verge of going into labor…

On the other hand, the three women—Su Qingyu, Teng County, and Gongsun Jinghong—managed to catch a glimpse of the truth. After all, they had also been to the Glazed Immortal Palace at the same time as Zou Feng. But they had originally thought Zou Feng had fallen into the other party’s trap. Who could have expected that this guy was suddenly about to give birth…

On the other side, Elder Fu Yun also looked at Li Chengxin with a bewildered expression.

Li Chengxin spread his hands with an incredibly bizarre expression. “Don’t look at me, I don’t know what’s happening either!

“This old geezer from the Dubhe Divine Domain probably had something deeply wrong with his head to begin with…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongyang Marquis in the sky suddenly let out a shrill scream.

“Aaaah—!”

At the same time, his stomach began to shoot out flashes of golden lightning, and streaks of bizarre runes surfaced on his belly. Clearly, the entity gestating inside was about to make a spectacular entrance by performing a C-section on itself.

Zou Feng naturally understood the concept of “kicking a man when he’s down.” He immediately shouted, “Let me help you!” and viciously struck out a palm through the air. This palm strike seemed ordinary, but it contained Zou Feng’s current comprehension of the Power of Cause and Effect. Its might was so strong that even he himself could not predict it.

Sure enough, Gongyang Marquis, who was suffering from the pains of labor, was completely unable to dodge this palm and was hit solidly in the stomach.

Zou Feng’s original intention was to use this palm to completely split open Gongyang Marquis’s stomach, allowing the Celestial Tribulation Creature inside to be born faster. It was foreseeable that the Creature incubated by the Celestial Tribulation would absolutely be a heinous and extremely terrifying entity. Such a vicious beast naturally would not show mercy to Gongyang Marquis just because he was functionally its “birth father.” Furthermore, the “Child of Celestial Tribulation” was also part of the transferred side effects, so the very first thing this entity would do upon its birth was to madly hunt down Gongyang Marquis.

However, after this palm hit Gongyang Marquis, it did not cause a C-section effect. Instead, it activated the skill that the “Child of Celestial Tribulation” was most adept at—dancing.

That’s right. Inside Gongyang Marquis’s stomach, the humanoid Creature actually began to dance crazily. The amplitude of its movements was so large that it forced Gongyang Marquis’s stomach to continuously stretch into all sorts of bizarre shapes, looking as comical as could be.

Zou Feng quickly figured out the reason why the Creature incubated by the Celestial Tribulation would suddenly start dancing. After all, he had literally danced his way through the Celestial Tribulation he just experienced. And there was naturally no need to mention how infectious his Dance Dao was. Therefore, that Celestial Tribulation had probably been infected as well, which was why the Creature it incubated possessed a superb Talent for dancing the moment it was born.

But this made things even more miserable for Gongyang Marquis. Previously, just a slight movement from the Celestial Tribulation Creature inside his stomach was enough to cause him immense pain. Now that the movements had upgraded to dancing, one could only imagine how much suffering Gongyang Marquis was enduring.

With his Realm at the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection, he was actually unable to put up any substantial resistance while being tortured by such a bizarre side effect.
