Chapter 856 - 486: The Abyss of Art!

However, Gongyang Jin had not expected Zou Feng to have long since honed a Sage State. He could forcefully enter a Saint Realm free of all worldly desires, ignoring any seduction. Thus, Zou Feng silently recited his Heart Technique. A moment later, he entered a state of being "Saintly as the Buddha."

The successfully transformed women who had been frantically surging toward him suddenly had their faces blur into obscurity again once his mind became as still as water. Even so, they did not slow down. They continued to charge at Zou Feng. Because there were far too many of these Harem Women, surging forward like an overwhelming tidal wave, Zou Feng simply could not dodge them. As the women at the very front were about to touch him, they shrieked and exploded one after another. It was as if they would rather blow themselves up if they couldn’t win his favor. Or perhaps, the endless desires imbued by this place had burst them open because they could not find an outlet. However, explosions of this magnitude could not yet shake Zou Feng’s Sage State.

"Naive!" Gongyang Jin’s cold scoff echoed from afar as he saw Zou Feng overcome the seduction of the Soul-Enchanting Jade Tower. "As long as you can’t satisfy them, the explosion of desire will be endless. Let’s see how long you can last!"

Gongyang Jin was right. Although Zou Feng appeared fine for now, there were simply too many of these Harem Women. A Small Thousand World created by a veteran Nascent Soul Old Monster would not be broken so easily. Remaining unaffected by the seduction and not falling into the trap was merely the beginning. The crux was that the Power of Desire filling this entire Small Thousand World would sooner or later form a vast ocean and drown him. If he truly waited for all of them to explode consecutively, it would be absolutely impossible for Zou Feng to escape unscathed. He would either fail to maintain his Sage State or be blown to bloody pieces.

But Zou Feng already knew exactly how to deal with this predicament. Restricted by his inability to break the rules of this place yet, he couldn’t deploy his own Small Thousand World. However, using the newly evolved Skill, World-Purifying Poison Lotus, wouldn’t be a problem at all. In fact, before the Five Poison Holy Lotus Skill evolved into the World-Purifying Poison Lotus, the lotuses Zou Feng struck out with already possessed the effect of Purification. Whether it was purifying evil entities or various lustful desires, the results were surprisingly good. Now that it had evolved into the World-Purifying Poison Lotus, just looking at the words "World-Purifying" showed how powerful its Purification effects could be.

As Zou Feng formed a Technique with his hands, a massive Golden Lotus rapidly bloomed with him at the center. Following this Golden Lotus Blooming, lotuses began to continuously sprout from the heads of all the Harem Women present, immediately purifying their carnal desires as they blossomed. Purifying them and eliminating their desires was fundamentally the best way to break the deadlock.

If Zou Feng tried to rely on slaughter to reap these Harem Women in this Soul-Enchanting Jade Tower, he would only fall further into Gongyang Jin’s calculations. The original carnal desires would gradually transform into killing intent, escalating into an even more troublesome situation. Moreover, even if Zou Feng eventually slaughtered all the Harem Women, he would end up severely depleted, rendering him powerless against Gongyang Jin’s next wave of attacks. But by executing such a large-scale Purification, things became much easier to handle. Furthermore, since this Skill possessed the power to purify the world, it naturally provided a tremendous boost to Zou Feng’s efforts to break the rules of this place.

Once the Purification was complete, the original grand spectacle of the Soul-Enchanting Jade Tower with its thirty thousand harem beauties vanished instantly. The Soul-Enchanting Jade Tower transformed into the Golden Lotus Garden, and the harem beauties turned into "flower pots" holding the blooming golden lotuses. Gongyang Jin never expected his Small Thousand World to be dismantled so effortlessly by Zou Feng; he was instantly dumbfounded. His mouth hung slightly open in a state of embarrassment, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. However, the ensuing backlash from the destruction of his Small Thousand World caused Gongyang Jin to let out a muffled groan, nearly coughing up blood.

"Old thief, it’s my turn!!"

Freed from the restrictive rules of the Soul-Enchanting Jade Tower, Zou Feng naturally didn’t hesitate anymore and immediately unleashed his own Small Thousand World—the Xuanwu Paradise! It was worth mentioning that because the members of the Holy Lotus had just used their Dancing Skills to deal with those Black Armored Death Warriors, a space for dazzling dance had long been formed in the surroundings. Now that Zou Feng was personally exerting his power, he instantly received buffs from the Holy Lotus. It was equivalent to the Xuanwu Paradise not being created by him alone, but jointly forged by numerous like-minded individuals who resonated with this art form.

The moment Gongyang Jin was swept into it, he realized just how terrifyingly powerful it was. He had no time to think about anything else; only one thought remained in his mind: "I must dance right now, or else I will... die!"

That’s right, the rule of the Xuanwu Paradise was that one had to dance. If one didn’t, they would immediately be subjected to all-encompassing poisoning, instantly losing more than half of their combat strength. But even if dancing prevented poisoning, as one continued to dance, they would be subjected to mental pollution by Zou Feng’s dance art. The eventual outcome would most likely be turning into a Dance Fanatic devoid of original free will. This was the equivalent of being presented with two cups of poisoned wine and being forced to drink one. The only difference was that one caused acute poisoning, while the other caused Chronic Poisoning.

Actually, with Gongyang Jin’s strength, even if he didn’t dance, he could have held out forcefully for a period of time to find a reliable way to break the deadlock. Unfortunately, his own Small Thousand World had been easily broken, and he had suffered a backlash, sustaining injuries that were not light. Before he even had time to recover, he was dragged into such a bizarre Small Thousand World, making him truly unable to withstand it. Left with no other options, if he didn’t want to suffer all-encompassing poisoning and add injuries upon injuries, he could only start dancing. Chronic Poisoning would at least buy him some time to adjust himself. Moreover, Brother Gongyang was nearby. As long as he could buy more time, Gongyang Hechuan could figure out a way from the outside to help shatter Zou Feng’s Small Thousand World.

It had to be said that Gongyang Jin’s wishful thinking was flawless, but he had underestimated the influence of choosing to dance here. In reality, instead of choosing to dance, it would have been better to just straightforwardly choose poisoning...

At this moment, Gongyang Jin danced a few awkward and stiff moves, and his originally complicated mood unexpectedly became joyful all at once. Dancing in this place seemed to possess immense Magic Power. Even an existence like him, at the Nascent Soul Great Late Stage Perfection, would involuntarily get high. After a brief moment of daze, Gongyang Jin’s previously tense expression gradually relaxed. The smile tugging at the corners of his lips became increasingly harder to suppress. He couldn’t help it; dancing was truly intoxicating. It almost made him forget that he was actually in a perilous situation, and even his many past troubles were on the verge of being completely forgotten. Right now, he stared at Zou Feng’s dance moves without blinking, desperately yearning to imitate him better and dance just as dazzlingly. Before long, Gongyang Jin danced with growing euphoria, completely letting himself go as if he had rediscovered his lost youth in the Xuanwu Paradise.

The reason the Xuanwu Paradise could drag a powerhouse like Gongyang Jin into the abyss of art was partly due to his injuries, but another crucial reason was the Power of Reincarnation that Zou Feng had comprehended. It should be known that the Power of Reincarnation was originally a power above that of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator. Although Zou Feng couldn’t be said to have mastered the Power of Reincarnation right now, the Six Paths of Reincarnation he cultivated through the Poison of Reincarnation already allowed him to utilize this power slightly. Reflected in the Xuanwu Paradise, it meant he could make enemies feel as if they had been reborn, gaining a newfound appreciation for the art of dance and sinking so deeply into it that they couldn’t extricate themselves.

Don’t be fooled by Gongyang Jin’s current euphoric dancing; in reality, his sea of consciousness had already been severely polluted. Even if he managed to escape this time, he wouldn’t be able to erase the influence brought by the dancing for years to come. He would even dream about himself dancing.

However, continuously affecting Gongyang Jin was no easy task for Zou Feng either. He had to personally lead the dance and output with all his might just to barely maintain the current situation. Although it looked like it wouldn’t be long before Gongyang Jin was reduced to a slave of art and completely ruined, Zou Feng hadn’t forgotten that there was still Brother Gongyang hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. As for why that older brother named Gongyang Hechuan hadn’t popped out to join the battle alongside Gongyang Jin, Zou Feng already had a vague guess. In all likelihood, Gongyang Hechuan wasn’t skilled at frontal Magical Combat, but rather excelled at hiding in the shadows to cast hexes on his opponents...
