Chapter 766 - 442: Immortal Cooking Platform?

Ignoring Red Tiger’s clamor, Zou Feng maintained his own pace and casually stepped onto the Immortal Slaying Stage.

The moment he set foot on it, the aura of the Immortal Slaying Stage underwent a new transformation. As if a soul had been injected into an inanimate object, the entire stage instantly came "alive."

Simultaneously, the bewitched spectators of Cheyue Country completely snapped out of their trance. After a brief moment of daze, the baseless hatred in their eyes as they looked at Zou Feng melted into deep gratitude and anticipation. The overwhelming enmity they previously felt finally turned toward the three true culprits.

"BLEUGH—"

The sound of vomiting blood echoed from three mouths simultaneously. With the Immortal Slaying Stage coming "alive," bolstered by the power of tens of thousands of vengeful grievances, the suddenly intensified pressure struck the three brothers like a heavy hammer.

"Great Universal Hand (Transcendence), Progress: 8%."

The Cultivation progress of this Skill was already extremely close to the Realm of Transcendence. The boost from absorbing the Blood Spirit Pill just now benefited more than just the Nine Immortal Ascension Skills; it allowed the Great Universal Hand to finally achieve Transcendence as well.

The reason the Immortal Slaying Stage could free the spectators of Cheyue Country from the Gu bewitchment was precisely due to the "Purification" applied by the Great Universal Hand. The essence of Universal Relief was to eliminate karmic hindrances and face one’s true self.

Upon stepping onto the stage, Zou Feng suddenly felt as though he had become an entity capable of controlling the life and death of these Fake Immortals. It was not merely the sensation of enhanced power, but an indescribable suppression of hierarchy. Indeed, facing the three Fake Immortals led by Red Tiger—even though they now possessed the body of the Golden-winged Roc—Zou Feng still felt his standing was significantly higher than theirs. This had nothing to do with one’s Cultivation Realm; upon this Immortal Slaying Stage, he was the judge holding a superior "official rank."

Slay!

Without using any flashy Skills, Zou Feng issued his verdict on Red Tiger and the other two with a single thought. He casually extended two fingers. In the next moment, without any materialized guillotine or a massive giant sword of Divine Sense, the heads of the three abruptly slid right off their necks.

THUD THUD THUD...

Since the three heads varied in size, they did not hit the Immortal Slaying Stage at the exact same time.

Such a method was naturally bizarre and incomprehensible to ordinary citizens and Cultivators of lower Realms. In truth, however, since the Immortal Slaying Stage was designed to execute Fake Immortals, making their heads fall was a matter of course. This was power at the level of laws and rules; once a Fake Immortal stepped onto the stage, they had to be slain! Unless, of course, they could transcend the rules themselves.

After a brief silence, a tidal wave of cheers burst forth, mingled with loud wails and bitter sobbing. Although the spectators of Cheyue Country had just regained their clarity, they had remained silent out of the deep-seated fear instilled by the three Fake Immortals. Now, seeing the three severed heads, they finally began to vent their emotions hysterically.

Unfortunately, this catharsis did not last long before the scene plunged back into dead silence. To the crowd’s horror, the bodies of the three decapitated Fake Immortals could still move. Even their severed heads, resting on the stage, were still cursing profusely.

The peerlessly tough physical body of the Golden-winged Roc, combined with the Cultivation Realm of the Three Pseudo-Immortals that approached the Nascent Soul Realm, ensured they would not perish immediately upon decapitation. In fact, as long as they reattached their heads in time, they would quickly recover with nothing more than minor injuries. Indeed, they were doing just that; squatting down, their six arms nimbly picked up their heads. However, in their frantic rush, the three heads were not placed on their proper necks.

"Wrong, that’s my neck!"

"Tch, are you stupid? The cuts are obviously different sizes, yet you’re still trying to jam it on!"

One had to admit, perhaps because they were increasingly captivated by the miraculous nature of the Golden-winged Roc’s body, the three brothers remained utterly oblivious to their impending doom. Regrettably for them, if the "slaying" on the Immortal Slaying Stage meant mere decapitation, it would be far too underwhelming.

At this moment, Zou Feng still maintained his Sword Pointing posture. He gave his fingers a slight flick. Without the slightest rustle of wind, hundreds of bloody gashes abruptly materialized across the three brothers’ bodies. Consequently, the three newly reattached heads looked down at the gashes in unison before exchanging bewildered glances. In the next instant, their massive bodies crashed heavily to the ground, scattering chunks of flesh and blood into the air.

But this was not the end; after the "slaying" came the "burning." Zou Feng’s signature black flames flared into a towering pillar of fire, instantly engulfing the chunks of the Golden-winged Roc’s flesh. Once the burning was nearly complete, came the "suppression."

Destroy the physical body and suppress the Divine Soul!

Surrounding them, the phantoms of the Celestial Soldiers and Generals suddenly increased the volume of their chanted Brahma Sounds. Eventually, actual lotus flowers bloomed from their mouths in rhythm with the Brahma Sounds, creating a literal spectacle of "tongues blooming lotuses." The appearance of these lotuses caused the Divine Souls of the Red Tiger Brothers—who had still hoped to somehow salvage themselves—to instantly lose all will to resist.

Seeing that the "suppression" was sufficient, Zou Feng initiated the final step—refining!

These were the best talents for crafting External Pills Zou Feng had encountered thus far. The reason he had allowed the Red Tiger Brothers to possess the Golden-winged Roc was precisely because he foresaw securing better Alchemy Materials.

Once the Immortal Slaying Stage was brought out, this could no longer even be called Magical Combat; it was purely Zou Feng unilaterally crushing the Red Tiger Brothers. The four steps of slaying, burning, suppressing, and refining were tantamount to preparing the Red Tiger Brothers as if they were a culinary dish.
