Chapter 662 - 390: Fetus-Calming Dance
A Dao Foundation Realm cultivator trying to defy someone at the Golden Core Realm?
It sounded a bit absurd, but in theory, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
’But does this kid truly understand the gap between them?’
’This gap isn’t just about raw power; it’s a massive chasm in perception and knowledge.’
’Take this Poison Domain he so carefully crafted, for example...’
After observing for a moment, Zi Caiyi nodded, her eyes filled with admiration.
She had to admit, this Poison Domain was exceptionally well-made. Its power was out of the ordinary.
Even if she were to enter it, she wouldn’t be in any serious trouble, but it certainly wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.
’So, this Poison Domain is one of his trump cards?’
Zi Caiyi chuckled softly, then reached out and snatched at the air.
A wisp of poisonous gas from the Xuanwu Poison Domain was instantly caught in her hand.
Zi Caiyi then silently channeled a Technique. A moment later, the wisp of poisonous gas gradually vanished into the void.
It was as if she had teleported the poisonous gas to another dimension.
About three breaths after the gas vanished, a cold, white flame suddenly ignited around Zi Caiyi’s body.
She continued to silently chant the Technique, slowly extending her right index finger.
Soon, a crystal-clear Elixir Pill materialized at her fingertip.
If Zou Feng could have observed this Pill up close, he would have immediately realized that it was the perfect counter to the toxins in the Xuanwu Poison Domain. It was a tailor-made Antitoxic Pill.
In fact, this Pill was indeed an Antitoxic Pill that Zi Caiyi had refined on the spot.
The Outer Alchemy Dao, one of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills she cultivated, was not merely an Immortal Skill for Refining External Pills from "Great Medicine" for her own absorption.
It also allowed her to concoct precisely the Elixir needed for any given situation in an extremely short amount of time.
Furthermore, Zi Caiyi carried a massive reserve of various "Immortal Pills," each with a different effect.
When fighting others, this was the epitome of a "pill-chugging" strategy; she could wear down her opponents to the point of tears just by outlasting them.
Next, Zi Caiyi consumed the Antitoxic Pill she had just refined and slowly descended into the Poison Domain.
Sure enough, she showed no signs of being affected by the toxins.
To Zou Feng and Su Qingyu, even after stepping into the Xuanwu Poison Domain, Zi Caiyi showed no sign of breaking into the "dazzling dance" the Domain was named for.
Zou Feng saw it even more clearly. He realized Zi Caiyi wasn’t resisting the Xuanwu Poison Domain’s poisonous gas with the Spiritual Qi of a Golden Core Realm expert.
Instead... from the very moment she descended, she appeared to be in a state of near-complete immunity to the poison!
’A Great Cultivator from the Ninefold Celestial Court who practices the Outer Alchemy Dao is this damn powerful!?’
Standing within the Poison Domain, Zi Caiyi clasped her hands behind her back and began to stroll about as if she were in her own private garden.
"Silly boy, don’t you understand yet?"
"Your courage is commendable, attempting to defy a power far greater than your own. But the gap between us in every aspect... I doubt I could finish explaining it even in three days and three nights..."
Although Zou Feng had yet to appear, Zi Caiyi could perfectly imagine the wonderful expression on the boy’s face when he realized his prized Poison Domain was utterly useless against her.
At this point, even Su Qingyu couldn’t help but panic a little.
She turned to Zou Feng, her eyes questioning why he hadn’t made his move yet.
Zou Feng shook his head slightly and sent a telepathic message, "Don’t be anxious, Palace Master. It’s not a big problem!"
Even now, at the point of no return, Zou Feng was still busy with the Refinement of the Mixed Poison, continuing to store it up to make the final Critical Strike from the side effects even more powerful.
Zi Caiyi had considered every possibility, but she could never have predicted that Zou Feng’s true trump card wasn’t the meticulously crafted Xuanwu Poison Domain, but this "cheat" that was completely beyond her comprehension.
"Come out. Submit to me. If you can still practice the Dual Cultivation Dao, not only will I spare your life, but I will also show you the true ’Pure Land of Bliss’."
Zi Caiyi’s alluring voice echoed around them.
She cultivated two Immortal Skills, the Outer Alchemy Dao and the Dual Cultivation Dao, and had reached an extremely profound Realm in both.
Her voice alone was enough to make an ordinary male cultivator’s primordial yang collapse on the spot.
As for Zou Feng, having accumulated the side effects for so long, he had indeed reached the point where he had no choice but to unleash them.
Through his recent efforts, Zou Feng had realized there was a limit to how many side effects he could temporarily store.
At least, before the List of Gods could be upgraded further, this was the maximum he could hold.
If he tried to forcefully store any more, he feared he would be the one to burst first.
’But it’s enough. It might not be enough to kill a Golden Core Realm Immortal Official instantly, but it will definitely send her into a state of extreme ecstasy.’
’As long as I can heavily injure this Immortal Official, I’ll have a great chance of taking her down by then pushing the Xuanwu Poison Domain to its absolute limit.’
Ultimately, Zi Caiyi’s inherent arrogance as a superior had made her careless.
Instead of refining an Antitoxic Pill on the spot, the best course of action would have been to not enter the Poison Domain at all. She should have simply stood guard nearby, waiting to see how long Zou Feng could hold out.
The safest method would have been to call for backup immediately, summoning more Tribulation Cultivators to lay siege to the Poison Domain.
But Zi Caiyi hadn’t even considered these options.
She was a Golden Core Realm existence. Why would she ever call for backup when dealing with a Dao Foundation Realm greenhorn?
Besides, even if she were that shameless, calling for backup would mean sharing the spoils, which was even more unacceptable.
"Have you thought it through?"
Under Zi Caiyi’s "well-intentioned" persuasion, Zou Feng, who had reached the point where he "had no choice but to act," emerged from the poisonous fog nearby.
Behind him, Su Qingyu held her breath, ready to jump in and provide support at a moment’s notice.
