Chapter 632 - 375: Soul-Snatching Blood Pupils
Jiang Wanzhao had never witnessed such a technique before—using an external force to help detonate a Golden Core.
After all, such a Divine Skill could only be performed by an existence of a much higher Realm, and it would likely require Xia Jingrui’s willing cooperation...
’This Golden Core Realm she-wolf was actually willing to let someone tamper with her Sea of Consciousness like this!?’
Jiang Wanzhao had no time to dwell on it. Faced with a Golden Core explosion at such close range, even with her strength, she didn’t dare be the slightest bit careless.
She recalled how Lu Guanghua had once threatened to detonate his own Golden Core at any moment, forcing her to hold back, afraid of the consequences.
But this time, a Golden Core had truly exploded, and at a much closer distance.
In that critical moment, Jiang Wanzhao threw out half of the Magical Treasures she carried...
Meanwhile, Zou Feng had, of course, long since realized something was wrong.
Although he had never witnessed the power of a Golden Core explosion before, it didn’t take a genius to know that its might could only be described as terrifying.
The one silver lining in this disaster was that Jiang Wanzhao had absorbed the vast majority of the power from Xia Jingrui’s exploding Golden Core.
Otherwise, while Zou Feng might have been able to escape farther with a burst of speed and then endure the aftershock with his near-Undying Body, ending up with only minor injuries, the other Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect disciples who were closer probably wouldn’t have gotten away so easily. They would have suffered severe injuries at the very least.
Furthermore, Zou Feng could sense that because Xia Jingrui was a poison wolf, her Golden Core was also a toxic Poison Pill.
In other words, when the Poison Pill exploded, the damage wasn’t just from the blast’s impact; it also caused an unavoidable poisoning.
It was like a small nuclear bomb detonating, with the subsequent radiation causing continuous damage.
Even though everyone present was an elite of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect at the Dao Foundation Realm, they couldn’t withstand Xia Jingrui’s wolf poison. It was a toxin even Zou Feng had never encountered, so contact with even the slightest amount could have extremely severe consequences...
At this moment, Zou Feng could no longer worry about Su Qingyu; he could only try to get as far away as possible himself.
Fortunately, Su Qingyu was also a Poison Cultivator. As long as she escaped in time, merely being exposed to a little of the toxin shouldn’t be a major problem.
’Worst case, I can just help her suck it out later.’
Zou Feng had just turned to sprint away when an intensely blinding light flashed, instantly turning the gloomy sky as bright as if the midday sun were blazing.
Zou Feng couldn’t resist looking back at the sky. The spot was now a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen clearly.
If an ordinary person were to see this, they would probably think the sun had suddenly exploded...
After the brilliant flash came a deafening roar so loud that even Zou Feng felt like his eardrums were about to burst.
Then, a hurricane that seemed capable of destroying everything swept through, flinging Zou Feng involuntarily into the air.
Luckily, he must have fled far enough, because although the impact was strong, it wasn’t powerful enough to injure him.
Still, he was inevitably poisoned in the end.
When a Poison Pill explodes, the toxin is inescapable. Even holding one’s breath is useless. It would be strange if the poison of a Golden Core Realm wolf didn’t have some kind of automatic, enemy-seeking invasive function.
The moment after being poisoned, Zou Feng felt as if a "beast" had been forcefully shoved into his veins.
This "beast" was alive. It immediately began rampaging through his blood vessels, clawing and tearing, roaring ceaselessly.
Zou Feng instantly felt his blood begin to boil, constantly on the verge of "exploding out of the pot."
He could clearly feel a beast rampaging and clawing throughout his body; the physical agony was unimaginable.
Furthermore, the beast’s roars echoed directly in his mind, causing a splitting headache.
His body and spirit were tormented by this poison—a dual torture equivalent to a cruel punishment that could torment a Dao Foundation Realm Cultivator to death.
Fortunately, Zou Feng’s poison resistance was maxed out. And if he really couldn’t take it, he could still have his "big brother" help him bear some of the burden.
Of course, Zou Feng did just that immediately.
In fact, the torturous agony caused by this poison was perfect for cultivating his Tribulation-Indestructible Body.
At the same time, it would allow his body to gradually adapt to this toxin...
The shockwave from the Golden Core’s explosion finally dissipated completely after a long while.
The entire Wind Singing Manor had vanished, leaving only a massive, deep crater where it once stood.
And in the aftermath of the wolf poison’s rampage, all the once-lush vegetation nearby had withered, leaving behind a barren wasteland.
Several surrounding mountain peaks were now completely bare.
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Wanzhao wore a rare, disheveled expression, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Although she had sacrificed half of her Magical Treasures to block Xia Jingrui’s Golden Core explosion, Jiang Wanzhao was ultimately too close and had been seriously injured.
However, Jiang Wanzhao quickly suppressed her injuries for the time being and slowly descended from the sky.
In Zou Feng’s opinion, the main reason for Jiang Wanzhao’s injuries this time was the poison.
The vast majority of Xia Jingrui’s Poison Pill, which had concentrated the essence of all her toxins, had been injected into Jiang Wanzhao like a post-mortem curse.
"Senior Sister Jiang?"
Zou Feng, being the least injured, was naturally the first to rush to her side.
Jiang Wanzhao waved her hand. "It’s nothing. Just a minor injury. I’ll be fine after a little rest!"
"Senior Sister Jiang, I’m afraid this wolf poison is quite troublesome. Why don’t you let me..." Zou Feng immediately suggested, though he couldn’t bring himself to say the words "examine your body" out loud.
He wanted to examine Jiang Wanzhao’s body for two reasons: one, to help her recover as quickly as possible, and two, because he deeply coveted that wolf poison.
Although he had been poisoned by it just now and had used the opportunity to cultivate his Tribulation-Indestructible Body, successfully completing the Refinement afterward for no small benefit, the amount of wolf poison he had obtained was, in the end, far too little.
