Chapter 853 - 485: You Still Dare to Scheme Against This Seat?!

"Six Paths of Reincarnation (Limit-Breaking), Progress: 89%"

He wondered what on earth this "Six Paths of Reincarnation" was. After fusing his Five Poison Creatures with the Poison of Reincarnation, shouldn’t it be called the Six Poisons? How had it become the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Though somewhat puzzled, Zou Feng knew very well that his "Six Paths" were not the conventional ones. Instead, they represented six types of Poison Dao. The reincarnations experienced by the victims would surely all be related to poison.

Even though the skill had not yet reached Transcendence, Zou Feng could already sense its terrifying power. Once unleashed, the enemy would not only have to deal with five Exotic Poisons with varying effects, but they would also have to desperately fend off the invasion of the Poison of Reincarnation. If the poisoning ran too deep, they would either drop dead on the spot or perish while trapped within the cycle of reincarnation. However, he still needed to study its specific applications in combat.

As for the original Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill, it had naturally undergone corresponding changes.

"World-Purifying Poison Lotus (Transcendence), Progress: 52%"

This Skill had clearly evolved as well. Not only had its name changed, but its Cultivation progress had surged significantly.

"Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body (Transcendence), Progress: 17%"

During his previous trip to the Underworld, the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Golden Body had played an indispensable role. In return, this Golden Body had also been tempered, making it only natural for its progress to increase by over ten percent.

Looking at the List of Gods again, it appeared much cleaner now that hundreds of names had vanished. Seeing that the cleanup was mostly complete, Zou Feng was about to withdraw his power when, unexpectedly, several blindingly bright rays of light suddenly shot out from the list.

Hmm?

Within the intense light, two new names slowly surfaced and imprinted themselves onto the list.

Gongyang Jin. Gongyang Hechuan.

Judging by the brightness of the text alone, it was clear these two were heavyweights in the Nascent Soul Realm. Specifically, the brightness of Gongyang Jin’s name completely rivaled that of the former heavyweight, Gongyang Marquis.

Gongyang Marquis had been an expert at the genuine Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection Realm. When he had suddenly appeared back then, he had died before he could even flex his might. Truthfully, it wasn’t because he was weak; rather, the Celestial Tribulation Zou Feng had triggered was simply too powerful. If it hadn’t been for that, Zou Feng never would have passed Gongyang Marquis’s obstacle so easily. In terms of head-on combat power, Gongyang Marquis was an entity even stronger than King Yan Ye Luo of the Rebirth Hall.

And now, another heavyweight whose strength rivaled Gongyang Marquis had suddenly made it onto the list... Did this mean the Dubhe Divine Domain had dispatched experts to avenge Gongyang Marquis and Gongyang Wuji? The fact that these two names appeared at this exact moment meant the threat they posed was imminent.

After pondering for a moment, Zou Feng immediately took out the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s Token. Upon checking, he found that there was indeed no signal.

He had been in secluded Cultivation these past few days, while the Holy Lotus rapidly sailed toward the location Jiang Wanzhao had specified. Therefore, Zou Feng wasn’t entirely surprised that they had already left the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s signal coverage. After all, Jiang Wanzhao had stated from the beginning that her chosen site for Nascent Soul Formation was outside the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s signal range.

With Zou Feng’s current Realm and strength, even an existence at the Nascent Soul Realm Late Stage Great Perfection couldn’t divine his whereabouts. However, it was obvious he was being set up this time. They had clearly found a breakthrough point through someone close to him.

Jiang Wanzhao had fought in the Northern Domain for many years and always liked to charge at the forefront during Magical Combat. It was entirely expected that she might have unknowingly fallen into some traps. The enemy had dragged Jiang Wanzhao into their scheme, deduced that she would seek him out to act as her Guardian during her Nascent Soul Formation, and subsequently lay in wait for him.

However, they never could have predicted that he possessed a Divine Object like the List of Gods to provide an early warning. Now that he knew someone was ambushing him, Zou Feng’s best choice was naturally to turn around immediately, flee back into the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s signal coverage, and quickly call for backup.

Yet, for the current him, doing so would be far too boring.

If this had been before his trip to the Underworld, Zou Feng would have turned around without a second thought. But after his Underworld journey, not only had his overall strength skyrocketed across the board, but the List of Gods had also successfully leveled up. Why should he run?

Thinking up to this point, Zou Feng immediately began inflicting the Poison of Reincarnation of the Six Paths upon these two heavyweights from the Dubhe Divine Domain. The upgraded List of Gods was incredibly convenient. He no longer had to rely on transferring side effects from his cultivation; instead, he could actively poison the targets on the list.

Of course, given the Realm of these two Brother Gongyangs, the Poison of Reincarnation wouldn’t immediately yield obvious effects on them. But by the time they realized something was wrong, the trouble they faced would be monumental.

Next, Zou Feng walked out of his room and observed his surroundings. The sky around the Holy Lotus was completely devoid of light, filled with flashing lightning and rumbling thunder. Fist-sized hailstones howled as they smashed down intermittently, and the faint sound of collapsing space could even be heard.

Judging by the environment alone, the site Jiang Wanzhao had chosen for her Nascent Soul Formation couldn’t be any harsher. But since she had chosen such a brutal location, she naturally had her reasons. Presumably, in Jiang Wanzhao’s estimation, this place would greatly increase her chances of successfully completing her Nascent Soul Formation and surviving the Celestial Tribulation.

At this moment, likely because they were about to arrive at their destination, Jiang Wanzhao was already sitting cross-legged at the bow of the ship, making her final preparations for the tribulation. Logically, he shouldn’t interrupt her right now, but Zou Feng had to clarify the upcoming "surprise" everyone was about to face.

Calling everyone on the Holy Lotus out to the deck, Zou Feng briefly explained the situation.

After listening, the others didn’t react much. Having been by Zou Feng’s side for so long, no matter how much he seemingly courted death, they just treated it as par for the course.

Only Jiang Wanzhao panicked a little. She hadn’t expected that asking Zou Feng to be her Guardian would end up dragging him into a deadly trap.
