Chapter 879 - 498: A Mere Fatal Wound

Wang Yu asked for the reason in confusion. Then, just like last time, he passed the cultivation method of the Soul-Attracting Technique to Zou Feng.

Zou Feng received the Divine Thought from Wang Yu. Just as he was about to quickly browse through it, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This Soul-Attracting Technique... how could it..."

In the section recording the cultivation progress of various Skills, the Soul-Attracting Technique was still listed, and it was already at the Great Success Realm! At the same time, Zou Feng confirmed that he indeed knew this Skill and didn’t need to cultivate it according to the method Wang Yu taught at all.

He wondered what the hell was going on. He had no memory of ever cultivating the Soul-Attracting Technique.

Zou Feng stared at the progress of the Skill in a daze for quite a while, once again confirming that he had never learned anything like it before. For such a bizarre thing to happen, the answer was already obvious.

Time Reversal had occurred!

His past self must have come up with the method of using the cultivation progress on the List of Gods to determine whether time had reversed. Just as his current self had also thought of this method.

At the same time, it also proved that Gongyang Yunlan must have been defeated last time. Now it depended on what choice this woman would make: continue to be stubborn, learn from her previous defeat, and start a rematch with Xu Xiongda; or simply choose to run away?

However, no matter what Gongyang Yunlan chose, Zou Feng felt assured. Anyway, it was good enough to know that time had already been reversed. Once the situation went south, he could use his side-effect Critical Strike without any scruples.

Not long after, Gongyang Yunlan appeared from the Imperial City and quickly dashed over to face Xu Xiongda. Gongyang Yunlan actually dared to accept the challenge. Did this mean that through their last Magical Combat, she felt she had found a way to defeat Xu Xiongda?

But that didn’t matter. If Xu Xiongda truly turned out to be no match for her, he could immediately hit Gongyang Yunlan with a side-effect Critical Strike.

At this moment, Gongyang Yunlan’s face was full of determination, her expression exceptionally firm. Xu Xiongda, on the other hand, was just like last time, constantly uttering provocations and harassing her with filthy words.

This caused Gongyang Yunlan to strike again in anger. Hundreds of colorful ropes, bolstered by the Power of Faith, continuously and frantically bombarded Xu Xiongda.

The peak duel between two Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouses thus commenced.

The ensuing battle scene made the spectators click their tongues in wonder, sparking endless discussions. After all, on the side of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, apart from Zou Feng, no one else knew that this was already a rematch after a Time Reversal.

Although Zou Feng had absolutely no memory of the specifics of these two’s last fight, he still felt that the direction of this rematch seemed no different from the last.

This sense of incongruity made him feel increasingly uneasy. After all, if the battle situation was similar to the last time, wouldn’t Gongyang Yunlan just be defeated again in the exact same way? As the Empress of the Dubhe Divine Domain, she couldn’t possibly be that brain-dead, could she?

However, the subsequent battle was truly one-sided. Gongyang Yunlan wildly bombarded Xu Xiongda with various Divine Skills, yet she failed to break through his defenses, her attacks amounting to nothing more than a mere tickle.

When it was Xu Xiongda’s turn to counterattack, Gongyang Yunlan was completely crushed. Soon, she lost the ability to fight back.

Seeing this, the people aboard the Fallen God practically started popping champagne, celebrating their successful conquest and praising Sect Leader Xu’s mighty dominance. Even the Elders, who had initially been quite worried about this battle, relaxed their furrowed brows.

Only Zou Feng remained doubtful and bewildered. He even specifically went to check the progress of the Soul-Attracting Technique again.

He was not mistaken. An extra Skill had inexplicably appeared on the List of Gods, and it was absolutely due to Time Reversal. But what on earth was Gongyang Yunlan doing? Did she fail to recognize the gap in their strength the first time, insisting on being stubborn and throwing her life away again?

By now, Xu Xiongda had already caught Gongyang Yunlan and was toying with her at will. He won the duel without any suspense, crushing her with overwhelming superiority. Since they had already won and Gongyang Yunlan had lost all ability to resist, there was naturally no need for Zou Feng to transfer the side-effect Critical Strike he had been brewing.

Scratching his head, Zou Feng truly couldn’t figure out why Gongyang Yunlan would just throw herself at them. But there was no need for him to be overly suspicious anymore. Since she had lost, there was no need to waste the side-effect Critical Strike he had worked so hard to accumulate. He would assess the situation later; it would be much more worthwhile to use it on a formidable enemy like the Wuxiang Emperor.

Ten miles away in the sky, seeing Gongyang Yunlan’s resistance growing weaker and weaker, Xu Xiongda laughed maniacally. He was really about to fulfill the promise he made before the battle and have his way with Gongyang Yunlan right then and there.

The scene on the void screen suddenly became inappropriate for children.

Although some Elders felt Xu Xiongda’s actions were indecent and pure folly, no one sympathized with Gongyang Yunlan. As the leader of a Tribulation Cultivation Force, the sins she had committed were already too numerous to record.

However, even as it reached the stage of humiliating the spoil of war, Zou Feng still felt something was amiss. Gongyang Yunlan obviously could have escaped after the Time Reversal, yet she still charged over to throw her life away? Besides, seeing their Empress about to be humiliated, why hadn’t anyone from the other Royal Families in the Imperial City come out to try and save her?

Were they all already in despair, or...

Still unable to set his mind at ease, Zou Feng kept his unblinking eyes glued to the void screen. A moment later, a sudden change occurred just as he suspected.

Xu Xiongda, a man of his word, was already pressed tightly against Gongyang Yunlan. Being humiliated in public, Gongyang Yunlan’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, but there was noticeably no trace of despair.
