Chapter 826 - 472: New Feature?

When "Ink Ash Abyss" struck the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King with this palm, a massive bloom of golden lotuses suddenly burst forth.

At the same time, the space surrounding the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King began to shatter continuously like a broken mirror.

SPURT—

Spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King finally realized that he had just been dragged into an Illusion Realm. However, he was clearly still in disbelief. After all, everything he had just experienced was far too inconceivable. With his Realm and strength, he hadn’t even noticed falling into a trap!

Looking back, the person standing behind him wasn’t Ink Ash Abyss at all, but Zou Feng, whose entire body radiated a chilling, evil aura. Meanwhile, the real Ink Ash Abyss was suspended in midair not far away, his eyes completely glassy. He clearly hadn’t broken free from the Illusion Realm yet.

"You... you..."

The Sword-Suppressing Celestial King reached out with a trembling hand, wanting to say something, but he stammered for a long while without being able to form a complete sentence. It couldn’t be helped; when a person was in a state of extreme shock, they could no longer think normally.

The Sword-Suppressing Celestial King couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried. As a Middle Tier Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm, he had unwittingly suffered such a massive loss at the hands of a rookie who had just achieved Nascent Soul Formation...

However, Zou Feng had ultimately been careless, surprisingly failing to seize the opportunity to launch another attack. This allowed the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King to gradually recover, quickly suppressing the Exotic Poison wreaking havoc within his body.

Conversely, Zou Feng was actually still standing in the same spot, watching with cold indifference.

SHING!

The Broadsword was finally fully unsheathed. As long as his sword was with him, his spirit remained unbroken. The Sword-Suppressing Celestial King regained his composure.

"I have underestimated you..." The Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s Sword Intent soared into the sky. As he spoke, he had already achieved a state of Man-Sword Unity. "To return the favor, let’s see how you handle this strike of mine..."

Before his voice could fade, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King slowly slashed his sword downward.

It seemed like an unremarkable strike, but his Sword Domain took shape instantly, immediately filling the entire area with a seemingly endless Sword Blade Storm. But this was only the beginning. As the might of the Sword Domain continued to climb, it would eventually transform into a Small Thousand World created by the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King—the Broken Soul Sword Domain.

Facing the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s Big Move, Zou Feng remained unmoved, simply standing with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. No matter how fierce the surrounding Sword Blade Storm was, it couldn’t even disturb a single strand of his hair.

This nightmarish scene caused the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s jaw to drop wide open in sheer disbelief.

Fortunately, he quickly snapped back to reality, realizing, "No, this is still the Illusion Realm!"

The sound of shattering mirrors echoed once more. Immediately after, a Poison Palm thrust out of nowhere, fiercely slamming into the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s back.

BLAAAGH—

Accompanied by a miserable scream and the horrifying sound of cracking bones, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King plummeted from the sky like a kite with a snapped string.

Looking back at his previous position, Zou Feng was still standing with his hands behind his back, smiling as if he hadn’t moved an inch.

He couldn’t tell apart reality from illusion anymore. Adding injury to injury, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s will was rapidly crumbling. Even now, he still couldn’t tell if he was trapped in the Illusion Realm or not.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Driven entirely mad, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King summoned the last of his strength, wildly swinging his Broadsword in every direction.

In an instant, the terrifying Sword Qi caused the surrounding world to tremble, ripping open rifts in space itself.

After he went on this frantic rampage for a while, the sensation of his blade slicing into flesh suddenly transmitted back to his hands.

He thought, "Did I finally hit him!?"

The Sword-Suppressing Celestial King was instantly overjoyed, akin to a drowning man finally grasping a lifeline.

"Celestial King... you... why did you..."

A mouthful of foul blood spat right onto the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s face. He couldn’t help but blink. When he opened his eyes again, the sight before him immediately plunged the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King back into despair.

The person he had slashed wasn’t Zou Feng at all. Instead, it was Ink Ash Abyss, who was now nearly cleaved in half at the waist...

The sound of shattering mirrors echoed once more, and it felt as if the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s Divine Soul was practically shattering along with it.

"Many thanks, you’ve worked hard!"

Zou Feng’s demonic voice rang out from behind him. A moment later, a massive, palm-leaf fan-like hand clamped heavily down onto the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King’s Skull.

Although the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King was utterly horrified and desperately wanted to resist, he couldn’t move at all. The poison had seeped into his very marrow, and he could feel that lotuses had fully bloomed within his sea of consciousness.

Amidst another piercing shriek, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King was forcefully turned into an External Pill through Zou Feng’s Refinement.

Ink Ash Abyss watched this entire scene unfold clearly from the closest possible distance.

After a brief moment of daze, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He directly abandoned his physical body, allowing his Nascent Soul to burst forth utilizing a Flying Escape Technique at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, Zou Feng had long been guarding against this trick. He immediately made a grabbing motion through the air!

Ink Ash Abyss’s Nascent Soul couldn’t even manage to struggle before it was dragged back without any suspense. Without giving the guy a chance to continue yelling and screaming, Zou Feng similarly subjected it to Refinement in an instant.

This time, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King and Ink Ash Abyss had suddenly popped up to block the way, hoping to take advantage of the fact that Zou Feng had just broken through to snag a cheap victory. In the end, they had only thrown their own lives away, essentially just showing up to deliver congratulatory gifts.

Afterward, Zou Feng wasn’t in a hurry to absorb these two External Pills. Instead, he shifted his gaze toward the South Heavenly Gate.

Under normal circumstances, the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King bringing the South Heavenly Gate here would have been extremely difficult to deal with. However, the Complete Hypnosis of the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" had trapped the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King in a seemingly endless Illusion Realm, which also severed his connection to the South Heavenly Gate. This meant that although the South Heavenly Gate was powerful, apart from executing the initial Door Opening Kill, it hadn’t served any other purpose.

Even though the South Heavenly Gate was now the only thing left standing there in isolation, Zou Feng did not lower his guard. He could sense that the South Heavenly Gate had not unleashed its true might in the hands of the Sword-Suppressing Celestial King, which was truly a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure.
