66: Beast God Palace, Refine!
As expected, the black mist coalesced once more.
The shadow appeared before the two again. Although its aura had weakened slightly, it still carried an unsettling sneer: "This Emperor said... within this Beast God Palace, I am immortal..."
A trace of impatience flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes as the cries of a Phoenix resounded once more.
"Noisy. If you reform once, I'll just kill you once!"
Amidst the surging flames, Yuan Feng's fiery red figure stretched infinitely, like a fire that could burn everything, filling the entire space.
In the shadow's eyes, a sense of fear toward Yuan Feng had already begun to take root.
He had already said that in this Beast God Palace, he was immortal.
A normal person should have some hesitation and then retreat in the face of difficulties, subsequently losing their Battle Intent and revealing a flaw, giving him an opportunity to exploit.
But in the eyes of the person before him, there didn't seem to be a hint of hesitation or doubt; she simply wanted to put him to death time and time again.
This person... couldn't be for real, right?
"Wait a moment..."
Li~
The Fire Phoenix let out a long cry, covering the sky and the earth as it engulfed the shadow once more, thoroughly obliterating it.
The next moment, blood-light gathered, and the shadow solidified, appearing once again.
"This Emperor already said..."
Li!
What did you say? This Palace doesn't know. Go tell it to my slap.
The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, tearing the shadow to pieces again.
This time, Yuan Feng didn't even retract her Divine Ability, simply waiting there for the shadow to reform.
Then, she directly strangled him.
"You really are a lunatic..."
Li!
..."This Emperor has never seen someone so..."
Li!
...After being killed ninety-eight times in a row, the shadow had developed a deep understanding of Yuan Feng's character.
As long as he didn't bow his head, this person was as good as her word and truly would kill him over and over again.
So, after reforming for the ninety-ninth time, he no longer dared to mock her.
Seeing that massive Fire Phoenix already roaring and crashing toward him, he immediately spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, perhaps we can cooperate. Why don't we discuss terms first?"
The former Beast Emperor would actually call someone else a Fellow Daoist and even negotiate terms; he really has kept up with the times for once.
Hearing this, Yuan Feng's expression shifted, and she temporarily withdrew her Divine Ability. "What terms?"
Seeing this, the shadow finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this person could still listen to what he had to say.
Next, what terms would be enough to move her? That was another problem.
Thinking of her unreasonable manner, if she were dissatisfied with the terms he offered, he feared another beating would be waiting for him.
After a moment's thought, the shadow spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, please speak plainly. What terms are required to cooperate with this Emperor?"
Yuan Feng frowned, seemingly in deep thought.
Before, she was only focused on the thrill of the fight; she truly hadn't considered this question.
Seeing that his words actually had an effect, the shadow chuckled unconsciously.
The so-called creatures of the Great Desolation all have desires after all. As long as they are utilized well, this person could also become his nourishment.
"Fellow Daoist can think it over carefully. With your strength, if we cooperate, it is not impossible to dominate the entire Great Desolation," the shadow's enticing voice came.
Of course, this was merely a stalling tactic.
This place was his home field. Although the Beast God Palace was severely damaged, many of the Formations and Restrictions laid out were still present.
It was just that he had been beaten silly earlier and hadn't been able to trigger these Restrictions.
Now, as long as he was given some time to activate these Restrictions, even the person before him, if caught off guard, would fall into his trap.
Thinking of this, his smile became increasingly hideous in the darkness.
While Yuan Feng was deep in thought, his fingers hidden in the shadows trembled slightly, secretly connecting to multiple Restrictions in the Beast God Palace.
On the walls of the entire palace, those runes eroded by time began to glow with an eerie blood-light.
"Dominate the Great Desolation!" Yuan Feng seemed to be pondering, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the divine phoenix plume.
Seeing this, a flash of triumphant joy crossed the shadow's eyes. He used the gap in the conversation to move back inconspicuously.
"Exactly! With Fellow Daoist's strength..." The shadow's voice suddenly became ethereal.
At the same time, a blood-colored magic circle suddenly lit up on the ground beneath Yuan Feng's feet.
The Formation activated, intending to imprison Yuan Feng in place.
The shadow finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha... truly a brainless lunatic."
"Falling into my Formation, no matter how heaven-defying your cultivation is, in this Beast God Palace, you must..."
The laughter came to an abrupt halt.
He saw Yuan Feng standing there, the coldness in her eyes completely undisguised.
The Formation patterns appeared beneath her feet; they had clearly been activated, yet they hadn't fully triggered.
"Talking to trash like you is truly a waste of time. If you have something to say, go tell him!"
As she spoke, Yuan Feng turned into a streak of light and left the range of the Beast God Palace.
"Him!"
The shadow then suddenly remembered that along with Yuan Feng, there was also a Green-robed Daoist.
His attention had been entirely absorbed by Yuan Feng, causing him to ignore him all along.
Thinking back now, it was like waking from a dream.
Yuan Feng had been entangling with him and discussing terms; wasn't she also stalling for time?
Looking down, within that incompletely triggered Formation, a Green Leaf had appeared at some point.
Like a nail, it was firmly driven into the formation eye.
Now, when he tried to trigger more Restrictions, he found he couldn't trigger them at all.
This meant his Restrictions had all been isolated.
Now, his connection with the Beast God Palace had also weakened significantly.
A bad premonition rose in his heart and grew instantly, filling him with immense terror.
"Beast God Palace, Refine!" A voice suddenly appeared above his head, making him snap his head up.
What he saw before him shocked him once again.
Heaven and Earth Manifestation!
A giant standing between heaven and earth appeared before his eyes, with the sun and moon above his head and the power to swallow mountains and rivers.
A massive hand was reaching out toward the Beast God Palace.
Rumble!
With a loud crash, the Beast God Palace began to tremble violently.
That massive hand successfully gripped the entire Beast God Palace and exerted sudden force, seemingly wanting to uproot the whole thing.
"This..."
The shadow was instantly filled with terror. Seeing that giant figure standing between heaven and earth, the fear in his heart could no longer be resisted.
Could it be that the Beast God Palace was truly going to be refined by him, and he himself would become a plaything in his hands!
But the Beast God Palace was connected to the Ley Lines of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and deeply bound to them; it wouldn't be so easy to uproot.
Boom!
As expected, the massive hand only slightly lifted the Beast God Palace before encountering strong resistance from the Ley Lines.
Endless Ley Line power gathered to contend with it.
Seeing this, the shadow could only smile bitterly. "I said so..."
Immediately following, a sword light that pierced heaven and earth lit up, shattering the last trace of hope in his heart.
The Li Wu Sword was held tightly in the giant's other hand, its Sword Qi traversing heaven and earth and slashing in all directions.
One Sword Tilts the Heavens!
It slashed directly down, severing the connection between the Beast God Palace and the Ley Lines for an instant.
The next moment, the massive hand exerted force again, pulling the entire Beast God Palace right out.
The shadow felt his connection with the Beast God Palace had been completely severed.
This time, it was truly over.
