I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Each Ox-headed and Horse-faced possessed the strength of the Early Stage of Golden Core Realm. Strictly speaking, however, they were merely forcibly created Fake Pills, devoid of any possibility for further advancement.

Yet a Fake Pill was still a Golden Core Realm entity. The fact that Duan Ruohai traveled with over a dozen Golden Core Realm ”subordinates” in tow was utterly terrifying. With such a formidable backup, Duan Ruohai would not flinch even if he encountered a Nascent Soul Old Monster from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. These dozen or so Fake Pills by his side could at least stall a powerful enemy, allowing him to escape unscathed.

After advancing for a while, Duan Ruohai pinched his fingers to perform a divination.

”Overestimating your own capabilities!”

Following a heavy, cold snort, Duan Ruohai had roughly deduced why Zhao Feixiong was no longer trying to block his tracking attempts. This fool actually intended to confront him head-on?! Did running into fellow disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect give him courage?

At this thought, Duan Ruohai could no longer hold back and burst into loud laughter. Stupidity should have a limit. Had that guy not yet realized that the Dharma Aspect in his sea of consciousness did far more than just track his location?

As long as they were close enough, it would only take a single thought for him to make that Dharma Aspect corrode Zhao Feixiong’s Divine Soul. At that point, if Zhao Feixiong showed even the slightest weakness in his resistance, his head would explode, turning him into a puppet entirely driven by the Dharma Aspect. In other words, he would become his External Dharma Aspect.

Therefore, once he met Zhao Feixiong face to face, there would be no Magical Combat or fierce struggle. It would simply end with him blowing up Zhao Feixiong’s head and returning fully loaded with spoils. Duan Ruohai had even prepared and brought along a replacement head for Zhao Feixiong. It was an exceptionally delicate and handsome Bull Head.

However, while Duan Ruohai could deduce that Zhao Feixiong had met up with his Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect peers, he could not possibly divine that the person currently with Zhao Feixiong was Zou Feng, someone whose fame rivaled Gongyang Wuji.

The Turtle Demon who had fled earlier decided to pull a disappearing act, not contacting these Tribulation Cultivators at all. The reason was simple: with the fall of Luo Ningcui and Luo Meng, the more powerful members of the Demon Race in Yu Long Lake were completely finished. He was the sole survivor. If the Tribulation Cultivators found that the Yu Long Lake’s Demon Race had lost their value, they might suddenly turn hostile and find an excuse to capture him and stew him into soup.

Meanwhile, an absolutely determined Duan Ruohai accelerated his advance. In less than the time it takes to eat a meal, he arrived at the location he had sensed.

Duan Ruohai had been to this place before; it was the ruins of the Jade Dragon Marketplace. Speaking of which, Duan Ruohai was partially responsible for destroying the Jade Dragon Marketplace to such an extent.

Looking around, a vast expanse of Black Fog permeated the area where the ruins and rubble were the densest. A Poison Domain?

Duan Ruohai sneered repeatedly. He had met Zhao Feixiong in person and had personally bestowed the Dharma Aspect upon him. In his memory, the kid didn’t seem this stupid. Did he actually believe that whipping up a decent-looking Poison Domain with his Immortal Sect peers could stall him?

Although this Poison Domain seemed quite impressive, they clearly didn’t understand how incredibly resilient a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator was against poisons. Even if he walked into this Poison Domain and slept there for three days and three nights, he wouldn’t even cough.

”Zhao Feixiong, I should have made the consequences of betraying the Yama Underworld very clear to you...

”Are you sure you want to continue courting death?” Duan Ruohai was in no rush to enter the Poison Domain. Instead, he spoke from a distance of over a dozen meters away.

Unsurprisingly, he received no response.

Duan Ruohai didn’t bother wasting any more breath. With a slight wave of his hand, the dozen or so Fake Pill Realm Ox-headed and Horse-faced behind him aggressively surged into the Poison Domain. While he did not fear the Poison Domain, it never hurt to be cautious.

Furthermore, Duan Ruohai was certain that there couldn’t possibly be a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator lying in ambush inside. So theoretically, these dozen or so Fake Pill Realm Ox-headed and Horse-faced would be more than enough to resolve the situation. After all, as his External Dharma Aspects, the Ox-headed and Horse-faced were not Creatures at all, but rather a group of fearless puppets. Moreover, each of their strikes was empowered by the Yama Dharma Aspect, which largely compensated for their lack of strength.

Especially when Zhao Feixiong saw them, it would be as if Duan Ruohai had arrived in person. The Dharma Aspect in his sea of consciousness would immediately react, suppressing him to the point where even breathing would be difficult. In short, encountering him was like meeting his natural predator; Zhao Feixiong had absolutely no chance to struggle.

Duan Ruohai then stood firmly in place with his hands behind his back, waiting for the Ox-headed and Horse-faced to capture Zhao Feixiong or flush all those little bugs out of the Poison Domain.

To his surprise, after waiting a while, there was no reaction whatsoever.

The strangest part was that the Poison Domain before him continued to operate as usual, showing no signs of intense Magical Combat occurring inside. Duan Ruohai was rather bewildered. After all, according to his senses, his Ox-headed and Horse-faced were still perfectly intact and had not been destroyed or slain.

So this was utterly absurd. Since the Ox-headed and Horse-faced were clearly fine, why hadn’t they caused any commotion in the Poison Domain? But listening closely, he could faintly hear what sounded like music drifting out from the Poison Domain...

Things were starting to get eerie, vastly exceeding Duan Ruohai’s expectations. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow, pinching his fingers to deduce the situation once more.

This time, because Duan Ruohai used his full strength, his entire body was shrouded in a dense Power of Cause and Effect. This was a power only those who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm could wield. Naturally, it was vastly superior to the Rule Power controlled by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

However, no matter how much Duan Ruohai calculated, the conclusion remained the same: within a radius of a thousand miles, there was no other Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator besides himself.

Then what exactly was this Poison Domain...?

”Jin Lan, go!”

Jin Lan was his fierce tiger mount, whose body was wreathed in flames. This tiger was no ordinary member of the Demon Race, but a special monster he had meticulously engineered. Aside from having relatively low Spiritual Wisdom, its raw frontal combat strength was already on par with a Great Demon at the Golden Core Realm Late Stage.

”ROAR—”

Upon receiving the command, Jin Lan let out a massive, sky-shaking roar before suddenly charging into the Poison Domain.

Unfortunately, Jin Lan, who should have turned the Poison Domain upside down, failed to stir up any waves after entering. Just like the Ox-headed and Horse-faced before it, Jin Lan had not been slain; it was still very much alive. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, it simply stopped obeying commands...

”Hmph, playing devil tricks!!”

With an angry shout, Duan Ruohai raised his hand and struck out with a Magical Treasure resembling a Jade Seal. Once this treasure unleashed its power, it could instantly transform a radius of tens of miles into a ”Yama Hall.” Deploying this treasure showed that Duan Ruohai was truly enraged. Refusing to believe in these mysterious tricks, he decided to initiate a Domain collision to see exactly what kind of scheme Zhao Feixiong was playing at.

Unexpectedly, as the Yama Hall fiercely clashed against the Xuanwu Poison Domain, it didn’t spawn any violent storms. Instead, it seamlessly integrated into it.

That’s right, the Yama Hall and the Xuanwu Poison Domain had truly merged, forming the equivalent of a new Poison Domain—the Xuanwu Yama Hall!

However, this fusion finally allowed Duan Ruohai to see the situation inside the Poison Domain without any obstruction.

The dozen or so Ox-headed and Horse-faced, as well as the Exotic Beast Jin Lan, were indeed still alive and well. But at this moment... they were dancing!?

The impassioned and rhythmic music grew increasingly clear. Opposite the Ox-headed and Horse-faced, Zhao Feixiong appeared to be leading the dance, making Duan Ruohai’s subordinates completely unable to stop.

This scene left Duan Ruohai as dumbfounded as one could possibly be. He had considered many possibilities within the Poison Domain, but he truly hadn’t expected them to be dancing.

However, Duan Ruohai soon realized that something was wrong. He noticed that his own legs had begun twitching involuntarily to the beat of the music.

”How noisy!!”

Duan Ruohai stomped his foot heavily, causing the surroundings to quake violently while successfully suppressing the urge to dance along.

”Zhao Feixiong, did you really think you could best me with these flashy, insignificant parlor tricks?

”Naive!”

As his words fell, Duan Ruohai was just about to unleash a Causality Power Divine Skill, only for an unfamiliar voice to suddenly ring out from behind him.

”To me, it looks like you really want to join in...”

Duan Ruohai turned his head in shock, only to see a man waving a Flower Hand, walking slowly toward him amidst constantly blooming Golden Lotuses.
