Chapter 626 - 372: Fierce Poison Foot Domain
Seeing that Kong Xia was only now trying to flee, Zou Feng was hardly about to let her.
Why else had he taken such a massive risk just now, exposing the Flower Fox’s disguise and finding this spatial Magical Artifact without waiting for reinforcements?
He lusted after the body of White Impermanence, Kong Xia.
He knew from her Resentful Soul Poison that a Poison Cultivator like Kong Xia was a type he had never encountered before.
The benefits he would gain if he could perform Refinement on her and absorb her power were simply immeasurable.
Knowing this was an opportunity that wouldn’t come again, Zou Feng stopped defending passively and quickly changed his approach.
He thrust his palms forward, and seven Dragons of Evil Qi instantly erupted into existence.
But these seven Dragons of Evil Qi didn’t swell in size and blast outward as a Black Dragon Wave of Vileflame.
Instead, Zou Feng reversed his hands and struck them into his own chest.
He was obviously imbuing himself directly with the Power of Seven Dragons.
Not only that, but Zou Feng also swiftly took out an External Pill he had saved and swallowed it.
With a great BOOM, the combination of the Power of Seven Dragons and the "External Pill Summoning Gods" technique made Zou Feng’s hair stand on end once more as a fiery aura erupted from his body.
To see Zou Feng endure such a long assault and not only act as if nothing had happened, but also use Bursting Qi to elevate his power...
...this naturally horrified the members of the Yama Underworld, completely shattering their morale.
They all turned to Kong Xia, their gazes urgent. The meaning in their eyes couldn’t have been more obvious.
’This is a lost cause! If we don’t leave now, we never will!’
Kong Xia knew this as well, of course. She shot Zou Feng a look filled with bitter resentment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Go!"
As if granted a great amnesty, the other Tribulation Cultivators of the Yama Underworld scrambled to use their Divine Skills and flee into the distance.
But Zou Feng paid no mind to these Tribulation Cultivators. His gaze remained locked firmly on Kong Xia.
The next moment, a thick white smoke billowed out from around Kong Xia.
Her figure flickered in and out of view within the smoke. She was clearly using an escape technique.
"Trying to run?"
Before the words had even faded, Zou Feng appeared behind Kong Xia as if he had teleported.
He had been building up his power, using the Power of Seven Dragons to fuel the Summoning Gods technique via his External Pill. Not even an expert at the Dao Foundation Realm Late Stage could keep up with the burst of speed he could now unleash.
Sure enough, a look of horror flashed across Kong Xia’s face, but she must have had an ace up her sleeve, as she quickly regained her composure.
As expected, when Zou Feng shot behind his opponent and executed his habitual constricting attack, his arms closed on empty air.
Hm!?
’Kong Xia is clearly still in the white smoke, but she’s no longer corporeal.’
’I didn’t even notice how her real body slipped away...’
The illusion of Kong Xia within the white smoke was even able to slowly turn, a cold smirk playing on her lips as she looked at Zou Feng. "You can count your Luck as good this time. Next time might not be the same!"
Zou Feng sneered in disdain. "You think you can get away?"
With that, he settled into a Horse Stance and clasped his hands together. A large swathe of profound runes materialized beneath his feet.
’No matter how she escaped, she can’t have left this space yet.’
’So, I’ll just start with an indiscriminate, all-out bombardment.’
Great Universal Hand—Chaotic Form: Thousand Hands Exorcism.
Following a deeply muffled sound, as if compressed to its absolute limit, countless golden streams of Palm Force erupted forth.
Ever since his Great Universal Hand had advanced to the stage of Unity of Heaven and Man, the Palm Force it produced looked less and less like it came from an Evil Skill.
Instead, it overflowed with a golden light that was full of auspicious power.
As the massive torrent of golden light flooded the Alternate Space, it looked from a distance as if the entire dimension were being bathed in holy, Buddhist light.
"AHHH..."
"SPFF—"
Once Thousand Hands Exorcism took form, screams and wails periodically rang out from all directions, accompanied by the sounds of people either violently coughing up blood or spitting out shredded pieces of their internal organs.
This was, of course, the sound of the Tribulation Cultivators who had just fled. They hadn’t had time to completely escape the Alternate Space and now had nowhere to hide from this indiscriminate, wide-area attack, getting hit one after another.
But even so, White Impermanence Kong Xia, hidden somewhere unknown, was still not forced out.
"It’s useless. Even if you manage to make this entire space collapse, you’ll never find me..." Kong Xia’s illusion, still floating before him, spoke in a mocking tone.
Zou Feng refused to believe that.
’This woman clearly hasn’t escaped the Alternate Space, yet she’s so confident I can’t force her out?’
’At the end of the day, a small-scale Alternate Space like this is just a Domain that can be maintained for an extended period.’
’The energy source here is obviously the Power of Emotion gathered and absorbed by the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors.’
’But Kong Xia probably doesn’t know that while I can’t absorb the Power of Emotion directly, I have no problem making use of it once it’s been converted.’
’Once I deploy my Universal Salvation Burial Flower Domain, it should also be able to make use of the Power of Emotion permeating this area.’
’And once the Universal Salvation Burial Flower Domain is significantly strengthened, it will be able to "embed" itself more effectively into this Alternate Space.’
’That will most likely help me see through the mysteries here and drag Kong Xia out of hiding.’
’What’s puzzling, though, is why Kong Xia hasn’t completely left this Alternate Space yet, even though she’s clearly decided to run.’
’Is she afraid of rushing out and falling into an ambush by my reinforcements?’
’If that’s the case, her hiding for the time being would make sense.’
’The tremors from before were clearly the arrival of reinforcements from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. They must be attacking the Magical Treasure that contains this Alternate Space—the small, oval bottle on the Flower Fox’s fake tail.’
’Her plan is most likely to wait for that Magical Treasure to be destroyed. When the Alternate Space collapses and chaos inevitably follows, she’ll use the confusion to escape.’
’That’s a very annoying prospect for me.’
