Chapter 610 - 364: Excuse Me
’The situation is bad?’
Zou Feng was stunned for a moment after reading the message.
Su Qingyu wasn’t the type of woman to get easily alarmed. For her to say something like that, the situation must truly be dire.
’Huh, are the Yama Underworld and the Ninefold Celestial Court actually playing for keeps this time?’
He recalled the last time, when both sides seemed to be just going through the motions. They had bombarded each other with Skills from a great distance, and aside from one problematic section of the defense line, the fighting in the other battlefields had been half-hearted.
However, even if these Tribulation Cultivators were serious, Zou Feng didn’t believe they could completely break through the Celestial Hearing Tower’s defenses.
After all, Ao Gang, the Dragon King of Yu Long Lake, also happened to be at the Celestial Hearing Tower.
Therefore, no matter how serious the enemy was, the most they could do was cause the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect to suffer heavy losses. ’A complete breach still feels unrealistic.’
Thinking of this, Zou Feng decided to finish what he was doing first. It wouldn’t be too late to hurry back afterward.
Otherwise, with a Celestial General in his grasp, it would be difficult to use the Outer Alchemy Immortal Refinement Technique in front of others later.
"Fellow Daoist... since you know my Celestial Court’s Immortal Skills... why not abandon the darkness and turn to the light... How about joining the Celestial Court?"
The Celestial General, who had been beaten to within an inch of his life, had actually regained consciousness and was able to stammer out some words.
But the moment he spoke, he was already trying to convince Zou Feng to surrender.
"Trust me... Come with me to see the Queen Mother... and you will learn the truth of this world... and just how irredeemably evil your Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect is..."
Hearing this, Zou Feng almost burst out laughing.
These Fake Immortals had gotten so deep into their roles that they’d started to believe their own lies, truly thinking they were the ones enforcing justice on behalf of heaven.
In truth, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect couldn’t really be considered a traditional Immortal Sect of the Righteous Dao either.
But at the very least, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect valued order and rules.
That was far better than fiends like the Ninefold Celestial Court, which only cared about devouring people and had no semblance of normal order.
"Which of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills do you cultivate?" After a moment, Zou Feng suddenly stopped, no longer fleeing.
The Celestial General was taken aback, but then answered honestly, "I cultivate the Harmonious Joy Dao. If you are interested, Your Excellency, I am willing to offer..."
Zou Feng was instantly revolted. The "furnace fire" on his palm surged, quickly engulfing the Celestial General.
’What the hell was that?’
Zou Feng had originally thought that the Harmonious Joy Dao was only cultivated by the Celestial Court’s Fairies. It turned out male Celestial Generals could practice it too, and this one had even intended to use it as a bargaining chip...
’I suppose it’s my own fault for having the sudden whim to ask which of the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills he knew.’
After beginning the Refinement of the Celestial General, Zou Feng started moving again, heading toward the location Su Qingyu had sent with her message.
It was worth mentioning that, naturally, there was no Celestial Dao Cauldron signal in the Northern Domain’s territory.
However, the Celestial Hearing Tower was, in effect, a signal tower itself. It possessed some functions similar to the Celestial Dao Cauldron’s, albeit a weaker version.
Thus, as long as a Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect Token wasn’t too far from the Celestial Hearing Tower, it could still allow Immortal Sect Disciples to contact each other, use positioning functions, and so on.
As for any pursuers who might be tracking him...
Zou Feng’s Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step had now reached the Realm of Transcendence and Sanctity.
He just hadn’t needed to use this Skill before. If he truly used it to flee with all his might, he could truly vanish without a trace.
Unless a Golden Core Realm Cultivator took action, no one could hope to accurately trace the slightest clue of his escape route.
About the time it takes to eat a meal, the location Su Qingyu had sent came into view in the distance.
Even before he got close, booming explosions reached Zou Feng’s ears. The sky was filled with all sorts of Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Treasures, and flying swords clashing against each other.
The Array barrier here had become so thin it was visible to the naked eye.
From time to time, one could even see powerful Tribulation Cultivators forcing their way directly through the Array barrier...
Su Qingyu’s message hadn’t been an exaggeration. A scene like this meant this section of the defense line was on the verge of collapse.
Although not all the defense lines had been breached, who knew how many Tribulation Cultivators would slip through the gap created here, causing incalculable losses in the future.
Normally, with a defense line on the brink of collapse, reinforcements should have arrived long ago. Even Yu Lingxiao and Jiang Wanzhao should have rushed over to put out the fire.
But whether it was Yu Lingxiao, Jiang Wanzhao, or Luo Gang, they were all clearly tied down and unable to break away.
’The Yama Underworld and the Ninefold Celestial Court really are playing for keeps this time...’
As he thought of this, the Celestial General was finally, completely refined.
He was a Dao Foundation Realm Middle Stage expert, after all, so the Refinement had taken quite some time.
Unlike the white External Pills formed from refining Spiritual Energy Realm Celestial Soldiers, the External Pill from a Dao Foundation Realm expert was an azure color.
One look and you could tell its medicinal effect was explosive. Swallowing it rashly would probably boost one’s power to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices.
But Zou Feng wasn’t afraid. He opened his mouth and swallowed it.
BOOM—
The moment the pill’s effect kicked in, the Spiritual Qi around Zou Feng’s body erupted violently.
His hair, without him even using the Hair Gel Hand technique, stood on end in an even more exaggerated fashion.
At the same time, his muscles bulged, his aura soared, and Spiritual Qi burned around him like a blazing fire. Even his expression grew more resolute.
It was like he had completed a Super Saiyan transformation.
Fortunately, though, his hair didn’t turn blond.
Carefully sensing his current state, Zou Feng was certain that even if he empowered himself with nine Dragons of Evil Qi to wield the Nine Dragon Power, he wouldn’t be as formidable as he was now.
But that wasn’t surprising. The External Pill he had just consumed was refined from a Dao Foundation Realm Middle Stage Celestial General.
The Outer Alchemy Dao’s so-called "Summoning Gods with External Pills and channeling celestial might" was no empty boast.
