Chapter 845 - 481: Emperor Fengdu

The arrival of Undying Master brought the sparring between Zou Feng and Ma Qianqin to a halt.

Through this spar, the progress of his Tribulation-Indestructible Body had increased by five points, much to Zou Feng’s surprise. One had to know that his Tribulation-Indestructible Body had already reached the Realm of Transcendence. Under normal circumstances, advancing even a single point of progress was incredibly difficult.

This also proved just how impressive Ma Qianqin truly was. Her seemingly ordinary physical attacks packed the punch of a celestial calamity with every strike.

Naturally, Undying Master then asked how the two of them had managed to slay Ye Luo. When he heard that there was no Nascent Soul inside Ye Luo’s body, he wasn’t surprised at all. It was as if he already knew.

Before Zou Feng or Ma Qianqin could ask, Undying Master volunteered the information. "According to the intelligence gathered by Senior Brother Sect Leader, it’s not just Ye Luo. The Nascent Souls of the Ten Hall Yama will automatically be teleported to Emperor Fengdu’s Golem deep within the Yama Underworld upon their defeat..."

"Emperor Fengdu? Golem?" Zou Feng was understandably confused.

Ma Qianqin, on the other hand, looked as though she had known about these terms all along. Zou Feng had become a Direct Disciple too quickly. He was practically press-ganged into participating in the assault on the Yama Underworld the moment he assumed his new status. As a result, he hadn’t had the time to figure out a lot of intel that he should have known long ago.

Through Undying Master’s explanation, Zou Feng finally learned that the so-called Emperor Fengdu was originally the ultimate leader of the Yama Underworld, an existence on par with the Queen Mother of the Ninefold Celestial Court. Unfortunately, hundreds of years ago, he suddenly perished because the injuries he had accumulated over the years became too severe. However, despite Emperor Fengdu’s death, the Yama Underworld still used his corpse to forge the so-called Golem.

"This Golem is no mere decoration. Once the Ten Hall Yama are defeated, their Nascent Souls will become its power source. At the very least, it can unleash incalculable destructive power in a short amount of time..." When speaking of the Golem, Undying Master’s expression was grave.

This was likely the Yama Underworld’s final trump card.

Hearing this, Zou Feng naturally felt a headache coming on. So, defeating the Ten Hall Yama wasn’t the end? There was still an ultimate boss with unfathomable strength waiting for them? This meant that they now had to wait for this final boss to take form, and then team up to siege it.

This was incredibly frustrating. After all, an existence on par with the Queen Mother, even if turned into a Golem, would still likely inflict heavy casualties on the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s forces.

No wonder the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect hadn’t taken down this Evil Sect sooner, even though the Yama Underworld had been headless for so long. Evidently, the price required to do so was far too steep. The fact that they finally decided to launch a full-scale assault now meant they were forced into a corner and had no other choice. They needed to uproot these two toxic cancers—the Yama Underworld and the Ninefold Celestial Court—as quickly as possible.

"If you two want to spar, you can do it after we leave this place. Right now, recovering your strength is the priority!" Undying Master emphasized this point because it had looked like they were fighting for real just now.

Ma Qianqin spread her hands in displeasure. "I just wanted a child. Who knew he’d be this stingy?"

Zou Feng wondered how this could possibly be his fault. Rolling his eyes, he was too lazy to even argue with her.

To his surprise, Undying Master’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That’s actually a great idea. Given the body refining cultivation of you both, if you join forces and produce an offspring... they’d probably have the aptitude of a Direct Disciple the moment they’re born!"

In response, Zou Feng sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes to cultivate, and pretended he didn’t hear a thing. He knew very well that Undying Master was just joining in on Ma Qianqin’s nonsense to deliberately play matchmaker.

The theory that two strong individuals joining forces could give birth to a Qilin’Er was pure bullshit. If creating experts were truly that easy, the higher-ups of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect wouldn’t have to do anything else but pop out babies all day.

Seeing Zou Feng’s indifference, Undying Master and Ma Qianqin awkwardly stopped their teasing and began to rest and recuperate.

However, this was still the Rebirth Hall. The pervasive aura that made one’s mind groggy remained thick in the air. The three of them knew very well that if they fell asleep here, they would likely be dragged into the Reincarnation World again.

But for the current Zou Feng, entering the Reincarnation World was no different from having a dream. Furthermore, because the List of Gods had devoured the Book of Life and Death, Zou Feng could even customize his "dreams" and leave whenever he pleased.

Since that was the case, why not use the power of the Book of Life and Death and the environment here to further refine his "Poison of Reincarnation"?

The nine lifetimes of reincarnation he previously experienced had allowed him to comprehend the Poison of Reincarnation. This poison essentially involved creating a Reincarnation World where both he and his enemy existed. Then, he would poison the enemy within this fabricated reincarnation.

Although this Reincarnation World was fake, the poison inflicted there would unimaginably manifest in the Current World. It was precisely because of this poison that Zou Feng was able to make Ye Luo fall victim without him even realizing it.

In simple terms, inflicting the Poison of Reincarnation out of thin air was akin to Zou Feng using the List of Gods to forcibly create an active skill. In the past, the List of Gods could only affect the big shots on the list through cultivation side effects. But now, Zou Feng didn’t even need to cultivate to actively apply the Poison of Reincarnation to those on the list.

Now that he had a deeper understanding of this poison, and since he had nothing better to do anyway, he naturally had to do something. Otherwise, simply waiting for the final showdown with the Emperor Fengdu Golem carried too many variables. He couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t find himself in extreme danger when the time came.

Speaking of which, this assault on the Yama Underworld was kind of absurd to begin with.
