I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

To accelerate the cultivation of the Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes, just like with the Outer Alchemy Dao, he naturally needed a sufficient supply of Great Medicine.

Now, in Zou Feng’s eyes, the cultivators from the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld were no different than walking Immortal Pills.

If he could somehow go to the strongholds of these two powers and feast to his heart’s content without any danger...

He could probably even reach the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone the Golden Core Realm. After all, he didn’t have to worry about side effects.

Of course, going to the strongholds of these two Evil Sects was just a fantasy—completely unrealistic.

Realistically, the most reliable course of action was to continue participating in the hunts.

After his discussion with Su Qingyu, Zou Feng relentlessly threw himself back into the hunt for Tribulation Cultivators.

Meanwhile, Su Qingyu, Zhao Feixiong, and the other disciples who had participated in the siege on Wind Singing Manor, including Jiang Wanzhao, were all recuperating from their injuries and would not be going out for the time being.

Moreover, eradicating Wind Singing Manor before it could cause even greater trouble was already considered a major accomplishment.

Jiang Wanzhao had previously been frustrated by her lack of opportunities to earn merit, but by helping to take down a Golden Core Realm traitor this time, she had finally done so.

Afterward, as long as she could successfully facilitate the marriage alliance between the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race and the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect by marrying Luo Zhenzhen to Zhao Feixiong, Jiang Wanzhao’s mission to the Northern Domain would be considered a complete success, without fault.

After another stable year or so, she could reapply to participate in the conquest of the Outer Realm and get back on the proper path for a True Disciple.

「Ten days later.」

In a desolate wilderness dotted with burial mounds.

The occasional screams made the already grim surroundings even more terrifying.

"No... Stay away from me! Aaaah!"

A young woman in a black robe, her face pale with terror, fled for her life.

Behind her, Zou Feng—his eyes shot with blood—let out a series of strange laughs as he followed unhurriedly.

"Why put up a futile struggle? You’ll be seeing your fellow disciples in the Underworld soon enough..."

Before the words had even left his mouth, Zou Feng suddenly accelerated, flashing in front of the female Impermanence.

His Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes flashed with a mesmerizing light that shone directly into the female Impermanence’s own eyes.

Her screams came to an abrupt halt. As if her very soul had been bewitched, the female Impermanence’s gaze on Zou Feng gradually filled with infatuation.

In that instant, it was as if Zou Feng had become her most beloved.

Zou Feng gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her temple. "Tell me," he said, "where are the others from your Yama Underworld hiding?"

Unexpectedly, the female Impermanence shook her head. "I... I don’t know..."

Zou Feng couldn’t help but frown.

’I can’t be sure if she truly doesn’t know, or if my Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes just haven’t been cultivated enough to make a Dao Foundation Realm Impermanence completely lower her mental defenses.’

’What’s certain is that any Spiritual Energy Realm Cultivator affected by my Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes basically becomes a puppet I can control at will.’

’But Dao Foundation Realm Cultivators are, after all, much more resistant.’

With this in mind, Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time. He slapped his palm onto the female Impermanence’s skull and swiftly began her Refinement.

Refining a Tribulation Cultivator from the Yama Underworld was different from using the Outer Alchemy Dao on a cultivator from the Celestial Court.

The Outer Alchemy Dao extracted the Life Essence of Celestial Court cultivators, using one’s own body as a Pill Furnace to refine it into an absorbable Elixir.

Absorbing these External Pills provided a comprehensive boost to one’s own power.

In contrast, the Refinement of Underworld Tribulation Cultivators, based on the Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes, extracted their Magical Power to enhance the might of the technique itself.

While the benefits were still substantial, they didn’t provide a comprehensive boost.

However, if the Underworld Tribulation Cultivator also happened to be a Poison Cultivator, that was a different story.

Zou Feng had just finished the Refinement of the female Impermanence and hadn’t yet had time to properly absorb the gains when the same Illusion Realm he’d encountered after killing Kong Xia appeared once more.

It was the same gloomy, solemn courtroom, with the giant-like Judge whose figure flickered in and out of view within a black smoke.

This time, however, Zou Feng noticed that the Judge’s previously indistinct figure was significantly clearer.

And the pair of blood-red eyes glaring at him were more unnerving than ever.

’What’s going on?’

’Have I killed so many Impermanences that the marks they’ve left on me are deepening some kind of curse?’

This wasn’t just a wild guess from Zou Feng. The Underworld’s Judge was a Golden Core Realm entity, after all; it was only natural for him to possess some bizarre techniques.

’But it’s like I always say—as long as it’s just illusions, I have no reason to be afraid. As long as the Underworld’s Judge can’t physically cross over here, I don’t need to worry about it.’

’Especially now that I’ve comprehended the Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes, my resistance to this kind of Illusion Realm is naturally stronger.’

’Judging by his eyes, that Judge must have cultivated some kind of ocular skill as well. My Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes, which I comprehended from the Evil Arts of the Yama Underworld, could be considered to share the same origin.’

Zou Feng ignored the Judge’s glare. The Illusion Realm didn’t pull any other tricks and soon vanished.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Zou Feng sat down cross-legged and focused on digesting the Magical Power he had just absorbed.

"Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes (Minor Success), Progress: 25%"

Over the past few days of hunting Tribulation Cultivators, he seemed to have a particular affinity for those from the Yama Underworld, having caught a great many of them.

Naturally, the progress of his Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Once the Soul-Snatching Blood Eyes reached the Great Success Realm, just like his Outer Alchemy Dao, Zou Feng would be able to refine even a Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage Celestial General or White Impermanence in an instant.
