Chapter 159 Reunion
"What a blunder! I didn't even have time to exchange tokens with Kuafu and the others!" Shaking his head, Feng Zichen said with some distress.
Alone, if he encountered the three members of the Annihilation Daoist, escaping under their combined attack would be difficult.
"However, there's a lot of chaotic evil energy here. Perhaps the Annihilation Daoist and the others are collecting it and won't be able to attend to me for the time being," Feng Zichen comforted himself after a while.
As demonic cultivators, chaotic evil energy was no less than a treasure to them.
Whether used for refining treasures, body tempering, or cultivating supernatural abilities, it could greatly enhance their power. Feng Zichen didn't believe they wouldn't be tempted.
"Haha!"
"This place is truly my treasure trove!"
Suddenly, the Annihilation Daoist's arrogant laughter came from afar, clearly reaching Feng Zichen's ears.
"What?"
Just as Feng Zichen was thinking he wouldn't encounter the World-Destroying Daoists, he heard the laughter. His expression changed instantly, and he cursed himself for his jinx. He quickly flashed into the Chaos Pearl, hiding deep within the void.
Several years passed. Since the World-Destroying Daoists uttered that laughter, they had remained silent, leading Feng Zichen, hiding in the shadows, to secretly wonder if they had left.
Several more years passed, but still, there was no sign of the World-Destroying Daoists. Feng Zichen grew impatient and, riding the Chaos Pearl, quietly headed towards the source of the laughter.
"Hmm?"
"A twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!"
"Why would the World-Destroying Daoists summon it out of the blue?"
From afar, Feng Zichen saw a black lotus flower, swaying in the wind, radiating black light and exuding an aura of destruction.
"Wait, that's..."
"A primordial spiritual root?"
"Damn it, that World-Destroying Daoist has committed countless sins; how can he still possess such immense fortune?"
Curious about the World-Destroying Daoist's actions, Feng Zichen walked a short distance further and saw a primordial spiritual root struggling violently beside him.
This was a spiritual root resembling a grapevine, covered in roots—the roots of a twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus—constantly drawing out its primordial essence, which was the reason for its violent struggle.
Judging from the aura of this grapevine, it was undoubtedly a high-grade primordial spiritual root, but how could it be a match for a twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus? With the World-Destroying Daoist assisting it, it didn't even have a chance to resist.
Before Feng Zichen arrived, this spiritual root had already had its primordial essence devoured by the World-Destroying Black Lotus for several years, and now it was on the verge of death.
It could be seen that under the absorption of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the spiritual light on the primordial grapevine was constantly dimming, and its life force was weakening, on the verge of death.
"This World-Destroying Daoist's luck is truly unbelievable!" Looking at the World-Destroying Daoist in the distance, Feng Zichen's heart was filled with complex emotions.
The location of that innate spiritual root was right on his path.
He was about to reach it when the World-Destroying Daoist suddenly appeared, startling him away and causing him to miss the treasure. Feng Zichen's heart was naturally filled with complicated confusion.
"It doesn't make sense!"
"I have great merit, and boundless fortune naturally gathers around me. How could I miss the treasure and let the World-Destroying Daoist get a bargain?"
"Besides, this World-Destroying Daoist has committed countless sins, repeatedly causing chaos in the primordial world. Even if his fortune is profound, it can't withstand such consumption; it should have been exhausted long ago."
"Then what's going on now? It seems that his fortune has completely suppressed mine."
"But how is that possible?"
Seeing the excited expression on the World-Destroying Daoist's face, Feng Zichen felt increasingly uneasy.
"Huh! Where are Moro and Mitian?"
Utterly frustrated, Feng Zichen decided to leave. After all, out of sight, out of mind, and perhaps not seeing the annoying face of the World Destroyer Daoist would improve his mood.
But just as he was about to leave, he realized something was wrong. So much time had passed, and Moro and Mitian hadn't shown up. Could it be that they weren't here at all?
Thinking this, Feng Zichen, riding the Chaos Pearl, cautiously searched his surroundings, trying to find the aura of Moro and Mitian.
"As expected, they're not here!" Months later, Feng Zichen searched the surroundings several times but couldn't find any trace of Moro and Mitian; they weren't here.
"Then..."
"Let's get them!"
Confirming Moro and Mitian's absence, Feng Zichen's eyes sharpened. He took out the Primordial Dao Bell and, using all his power, smashed it directly at the World-Destroying Daoist.
At this moment, the World-Destroying Daoist was completely immersed in the pleasure of his primordial energy increasing. He never expected someone to launch a sneak attack at this time, and, caught off guard, he was struck squarely by Feng Zichen.
"Boom!"
With a huge roar, the World-Destroying Black Lotus was directly overturned to the ground by the Primordial Dao Bell.
Without the protection of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the powerful bell waves slammed into the World-Destroying Daoist, sending him flying.
It could be seen that his body was covered in shocking cracks, like porcelain, and blood gushed out like a fountain, a truly pitiful sight.
"Ah!"
"It's you again!"
As he flew through the air, the World-Destroying Daoist caught a glimpse of Feng Zichen's face, a face he loathed. Overwhelmed with rage, he coughed up blood.
The World-Destroying Daoist was utterly frustrated.
Twice!
Twice in total!
It was the same in Thunder Swamp, and here it was again!
Every time he was at his most triumphant, Feng Zichen would appear and utterly destroy his hope of restoring his original essence.
Back in Thunder Swamp, the World-Destroying Daoist had planned to devour the essence of the Nine Heavens Thunder Lord so that he would possess the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal upon transformation.
But unexpectedly, at the very moment of his success, the World Tree suddenly appeared and plundered his essence, causing him to fail at the last hurdle.
And now, just as he was about to completely devour the Innate Grapevine and restore his original essence,
Feng Zichen's attack shattered the essence he had just devoured from the Innate Grapevine, sending it all back to the world.
Thus, He not only worked in vain but also suffered severe injuries. How could the World-Destroying Daoist not be furious!
"Ah!"
"I'll kill you!"
"The Floating Pagoda..."
Enraged, the World-Destroying Daoist wanted to unleash the Floating Pagoda, but Feng Zichen gave him no chance.
Before the World-Destroying Daoist could finish his sentence, Feng Zichen raised the Primordial Dao Bell and smashed it down.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of rapid bell sounds rang out, leaving the World-Destroying Daoist dazed and unable to concentrate, naturally unable to control the Floating Pagoda.
"Kill me? You think you're worthy?"
Drawing the Zichen Sword, Feng Zichen swung his hand, unleashing a sword beam that left a huge wound on the World-Destroying Daoist.
