Chapter 842 - 480: 9-Lifetime Poison Cultivator, Path of Reincarnation and Poison

"My butt hurts so much..."

"Huh, it doesn’t hurt anymore?"

He immediately began Cultivation of the Five Poison Palm. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zou Feng unexpectedly succeeded in Entering Grade right where he stood.

The commotion caused by Entering Grade threw the Yang Mansion into chaos. Coincidentally, the first person to rush over was Yang Yanpeng himself.

"Zou Feng... you..." At this moment, Yang Yanpeng’s jaw hung open so wide that three duck eggs could have been stuffed inside.

Originally, he had treated Zou Feng as a Gu to raise. Once the Gu matured, he planned to initiate Refinement of the Gu Poison and succeed in Entering Grade himself. Who could have imagined that this Gu, which had clearly just begun Cultivation of the Five Poison Palm, would succeed in Entering Grade so immediately?

Zou Feng looked at the utterly dumbfounded Yang Yanpeng and grinned. "I don’t eat beef!"

With that said, right in front of the members of the Yang Mansion’s Nursing Home who were rushing over, he lunged and grabbed at Yang Yanpeng. Being able to succeed in Entering Grade with just a bit of casual practice gave Zou Feng the confidence to "not eat beef," even if he hadn’t fully awakened his Innate Wisdom yet.

Next, Zou Feng underwent Refinement of Yang Yanpeng in public. Zou Feng unexpectedly broke through again, advancing to the Eighth Grade.

Afterward, Zou Feng swaggered out of the Yang Mansion, and naturally, no one dared to stop him. Just as he stepped outside, Zou Feng unbelievably reached the Seventh Grade.

At that moment, a sudden realization struck him, and he stepped directly into the air, flying away...

Meanwhile, inside the Rebirth Hall, Ye Luo was already sweating profusely.

That earlier rumbling sound indeed meant that Ma Qianqin, having broken through Reincarnation, was on her way. At this moment, she was only seven steps away from Ye Luo. However, there was an obvious invisible barrier between the two, preventing her from getting any closer.

But given Ye Luo’s current terrible condition, that invisible barrier clearly couldn’t be maintained for much longer.

Ma Qianqin was obviously aware of this as well. While continuing to break through the barrier, she sneered repeatedly. "The King Yan of the Rebirth Hall is nothing more than this!"

Hearing this, Ye Luo was so angry he nearly spat blood. It was truly a case of a fallen tiger being mocked by dogs. If he hadn’t used most of his power to unleash the might of the Book of Life and Death to deal with Zou Feng, how could Ma Qianqin be so arrogant?

However, the situation was dire now. He couldn’t worry about Zou Feng for the time being; he had to resolve this urgent crisis first.

Just as Ye Luo was about to use the Book of Life and Death to deal with Ma Qianqin, over on the other side, Zou Feng had already broken through Reincarnation again with a Broken Void stance. And the time he expended this time was so short that Ye Luo couldn’t even comprehend it.

It was worth noting that previously, even if a year or half a year had passed for Zou Feng in the Reincarnation World, it translated to merely an hour or half an hour in the Current World. One shouldn’t underestimate this time consumption. After all, under normal circumstances, breaking through Reincarnation should require over a decade, or even decades. If over a dozen hours had passed in the Current World, it would be far too late for anything.

Given that much time, both the Book of Life and Death and Ye Luo himself could have leisurely recovered their power. Then, upon Zou Feng’s return, they could have applied the strongest suppression to knock him into an even deeper layer of Reincarnation.

However, the speed at which Zou Feng broke through Reincarnation every time was absurdly fast, completely disrupting Ye Luo’s original plan.

And now, an even more absurd scenario had occurred. Zou Feng broke through Reincarnation in almost a second, popping out the moment he was sent in...

At this moment, even Ye Luo, who was used to being the eccentric King Yan of the Rebirth Hall, felt his heart quiver in fear.

"Stay calm, I still have the Book of Life and Death, as long as I just..."

As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Luo was horrified to discover that the newly returned Zou Feng had already leaped high into the air, lunging toward the Book of Life and Death floating above.

Ye Luo froze, then roared, "Ignorant brat, you court death!!"

Accompanying his roar, the previously dim light on the Book of Life and Death burst out with a blinding flash once again. Clearly, Ye Luo was disregarding the consequences, risking internal injury to muster his final remaining strength, intent on hitting Zou Feng with an even greater Reincarnation impact.

Seeing this, Zou Feng felt confident and remained unafraid, continuing to reach out and grab at the Book of Life and Death.

An unprecedentedly powerful Power of Reincarnation formed a "black hole" in front of the Book of Life and Death. That black hole carried an immense pulling force, several times stronger than the vortex formed by the Meng Po Soup, just waiting for Zou Feng to throw himself into the trap.

Normally, with the Power of Reincarnation at such a formidable level, Zou Feng would have no resistance at all and would only be dragged into Reincarnation as before. However, Zou Feng, who had now experienced nine lifetimes of Reincarnation, had developed a resistance to this power. This was especially true during his recently experienced ninth Reincarnation, where he had fundamentally seen through the Power of Reincarnation.

Even if he were dragged into the Reincarnation World again, Zou Feng could rely on an epiphany to directly achieve a Broken Void state, breaking free and remaining outside of Reincarnation.

Now, seeing that he was about to be sucked into the "black hole," Zou Feng’s mind automatically recalled the various events of his nine lifetimes of Reincarnation. As these memories intertwined, he seemed to grasp a sudden understanding, and thus he slowly delivered a palm strike that was purely Tiancheng.

A palm strike capable of Broken Void and attaining supreme invincibility.

During those nine lifetimes, he had always taken the Path of Poison, ultimately breaking through Reincarnation. But every time he achieved Entering the Dao and broke through Reincarnation, the method wasn’t exactly the same.

Therefore, this palm strike carried Zou Feng’s nine different understandings regarding the Poison Dao. This wasn’t just some casual understanding born of mere thought, but a summary of nine lifetimes as a Poison Cultivator, which thereby gave birth to the Poison of Reincarnation.

On the surface, this palm strike had no grand momentum. But Ma Qianqin, who had turned her head to look out of curiosity, vaguely seemed to see nine identical figures appear around Zou Feng, all striking out with their palms simultaneously.

BOOM—

Amidst the explosive roar, the "black hole" collapsed with a crash, and a portion of the overflowing power was instead absorbed by Zou Feng.

At the same time, with a SPURT, Ye Luo, unable to withstand the backlash of his spellcasting being interrupted, violently spewed a mouthful of foul blood. The reason it was foul blood was that he had already been deeply poisoned.

After spitting blood, Ye Luo stumbled back a few steps, his eyes filled with bewildered confusion. He had absolutely no idea when he had been poisoned.

However, the next scene made Ye Luo even more desperate.

He saw Zou Feng in midair, having already grabbed the Book of Life and Death in his hand. A Magical Treasure like the Book of Life and Death had long since developed sentience. Upon being grabbed by Zou Feng, it naturally began to resist fiercely at once. Under normal circumstances, its resistance would have caused Zou Feng to suffer a huge loss.

Instead, the moment it touched Zou Feng’s hand, the Book of Life and Death was suppressed by an irresistible, higher-level force. To the Book of Life and Death, facing this force felt as though it had been targeted by a natural predator. Consequently, its resistance quickly weakened, ultimately failing to make even a single ripple.

Meanwhile, a miniature black hole resembling the Path of Reincarnation appeared in the palm of Zou Feng’s hand, rapidly swallowing the Book of Life and Death.

BLEGH—

With the Book of Life and Death forcibly swallowed, Ye Luo inevitably spewed another massive mouthful of foul blood. Naturally, the invisible barrier around him could no longer be maintained, and it was easily broken through by Ma Qianqin.

Finally standing in front of Ye Luo, Ma Qianqin slammed her hammer-like fists down ruthlessly. Before Ye Luo could even let out a scream, his entire head was smashed down into his stomach. Ma Qianqin didn’t stop there. Throwing punch after punch, it took her mere moments to pound Ye Luo into a bloody pulp.

Being finished off in just a few blows wasn’t truly because Ye Luo was too weak. It was because dealing with Zou Feng earlier had drained him too much. Moreover, the Book of Life and Death, which acted as his Lifebound Magical Treasure, had just been swallowed, adding severe trauma to his already inexplicably poisoned body.

In such a terrible state, facing Ma Qianqin—a direct disciple of an Immortal Sect who had Cultivated her very muscles into a Magical Treasure—he naturally had no power to fight back.

"Pfft, calling yourself a Ten Hall Yama, you’re far too frail!"

Looking completely unsatisfied, Ma Qianqin turned around and looked up at Zou Feng.

She saw that Zou Feng was flickering in and out of sight, having entered a profoundly mystical state. Ma Qianqin had also just been knocked into Reincarnation, so she had personally experienced the so-called Power of Reincarnation. Thus, she realized that Zou Feng’s current state gave off the feeling of having transcended the Three Realms and escaped from Reincarnation.

To put it bluntly, even if all those Meng Po, King Yan, and the Book of Life and Death were still around, they likely wouldn’t be able to knock Zou Feng into Reincarnation again.

But in reality, it wasn’t that Zou Feng had surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm. It was because...

The List of Gods had finally been opened once again.

It had remained dormant and unable to complete its upgrade for so long simply because it was lacking "nutrition." Swallowing the Book of Life and Death had instantly replenished the energy required for the List of Gods to upgrade.

Furthermore, because it had swallowed the Book of Life and Death, the List of Gods naturally acquired functions similar to it. Without even needing to test it out, Zou Feng knew that he could now write names on it himself!
