Chapter 239: Become a Sacrificial Offering
Dil lay on the ground, barely alive. His entire waist had been severed by Ye Feng’s attack, and his slightly purple-colored intestines were scattered across the ground, mixing with pools of red blood and emitting a foul stench.
He gasped for breath, staring at Ye Feng and the two people behind him with fear. When he saw their faces clearly, his expression turned stunned—those faces were exactly identical to Ye Feng’s.
Ye Feng glanced at the two people behind him and said, “Just two physical clones. Though they only have 60% of my attack power, it’s still enough to hurt you.”
He stopped in front of Dil and crouched down. “Let me guess—this one must be a substitute too!”
As he spoke, Ye Feng grabbed Dil’s wrist wearing the ring and forcefully removed it, putting it on his own finger. Before even checking what was inside the ring, he noticed his finger turning black instantly.
Ye Feng frowned. “Poison magic?!”
“That’s a combination of poison magic and a virus,” came a voice from behind Ye Feng. “It spreads through contact, can invade the body in an instant, and spread toxins within a minute capable of killing warriors below the True Immortal level. It can also contaminate the Yuan Ying or even the mind sea. Usually, those who come into contact with it die!”
“Do you think this will work on me?” Ye Feng shook his head. “You should know well that this can’t hurt me in the slightest!”
“That’s right. I don’t know where you got so many death substitutes. The toxins do get absorbed by those dolls. But I applied this to the ring for a simple reason—just to prevent you from getting my ring!”
“Since you want the ring, here it is!” Ye Feng said as he shot the ring at Dil.
Dil stretched out his right hand to catch the ring. Ye Feng’s arm had already turned completely black—the spread of this toxin was indeed fast. He looked at Dil with anticipation.
“Do you really think I wouldn’t see through such a trick?” Dil shook his head and laughed. “You threw the ring to me so that I’d get infected too. Then, forced to find an antidote to cure myself, I’d give it to you! Am I right?”
Ye Feng didn’t respond, because what Dil said was indeed what he had thought as well.
“I’ll just tell you straight—there’s no antidote for this!” Dil shook his head with a hint of pride. “As for me, I dared to handle it because I have special gloves designed to isolate this virus.”
As he spoke, Dil extended his right hand, grabbed the back of it with his left hand, and pulled gently upward. It was a thin, transparent membrane; if you didn’t look closely, you’d never notice he was wearing anything on his hand.
“The ring is back with its owner, and my mission has failed. It’s time to leave!” No sooner had Dil finished speaking than he disappeared from that spot.
The blackness on Ye Feng’s body spread rapidly. In less than a minute, it covered his entire body. The tiny figure inside the Void Realm storage cabinet instantly turned black from the toxin before shattering completely.
Ye Feng watched the black corpse gradually disappear on the ground. Its skin color, resembling that of African natives, made him feel somewhat amused.
He looked up into the distance and murmured to himself, “Do you really naively think I’d let you escape so easily?”
With that, Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes. “He even used the Interstellar Great Teleportation three times, arriving on a desolate planet 61 stars away from here…”
At that moment, Dil finally let out a slow sigh of relief. “This was indeed a mistake! I almost got killed! But since he’s now 61 stars away, there’s no way he can find his way here! Only those at the Spirit Immortal level or above can use the Interstellar Great Teleportation. Besides, there are no teleportation arrays on the nearby planets…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar came from behind him, “You’re quite fast! How long has it been? You’ve already used the Great Teleportation three times!”
He turned around in shock. “How did you find me?”
“It’s simple. I marked you, so I wouldn’t lose track of you!” Ye Feng said seriously.
“How is that possible? That kind of mark requires direct contact to take effect!” Dil still refused to believe it.
“You yourself didn’t even notice that ring—a mid-grade immortal artifact—you never seemed willing to throw it away!” Ye Feng shook his head and smiled. “And the time that ring was in my hands was enough for me to make a mark.”
Ye Feng clearly remembered Lilith once telling him that Dil always carried that storage ring with him. So, as long as he marked the ring, he could easily find Dil no matter where he ran.
“It was that meddling woman, Lilith, who told you, right?” Diel immediately realized this upon hearing Ye Feng’s words.
“More or less. She mentioned it!” Ye Feng nodded. “Do you have any other questions?”
Diel fell silent for a moment before looking up at Ye Feng. “I’m puzzled. You’re only at the Tribulation Stage, so how could you possibly use Interstellar Great Migration? Although reaching the Tribulation Stage allows for simple interstellar movement, the energy required for Interstellar Great Migration is far beyond what one at that stage can handle!”
“Why do you like to underestimate your enemies?” Ye Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. “The fact that I can defeat you despite being at the Tribulation Stage is already beyond common sense. Why do you insist on applying what you consider common sense to me?”
“You should know that since I can defeat someone as strong as a Spirit Immortal at the Tribulation Stage, it means I might be capable of doing what only Spirit Immortals can do. Your so-called common sense doesn’t apply to me. Yet you keep making the same mistake—underestimating me.”
“If you had treated me as a Spirit Immortal stronger than you and dealt with me in the way Spirit Immortals do, maybe you would have already escaped to a place I can’t find.”
“Unfortunately, it’s too late!” Ye Feng shook his head. “To fulfill your last wish, I’ll tell you the secret of my Interstellar Great Migration.”
“Actually, I only learned this technique not long ago, and it’s very different from the conventional methods you use.” Ye Feng had been in seclusion recently, and a new technique for Interstellar Great Migration appeared in the “Wu Dian.” This technique combines “Instant Step” with traditional Interstellar Great Migration methods to create a new set of skills.
“Overall, the energy I use for one instance of Interstellar Great Migration is less than one-tenth of what you need. And the distance I can cover is ten times greater than yours. It took you three attempts to get here, while I moved directly from Agri Planet to here.” Ye Feng smiled proudly.
Hearing this, Diel was filled with envy. Yet he also realized one thing: escaping was impossible. With Ye Feng’s Interstellar Great Migration skill, no matter where he fled, Ye Feng could chase after him like a persistent pest. “So, I can’t escape?”
“You can give it a try!” Ye Feng replied with an indifferent smile.
“I give up! I admit I’m no match for you. What do you want me to do to let you go?” Unable to fight or escape, Dir finally gave in.
“Let you go? I remember it was you who came to trouble me first, right?” Ye Feng sneered.
“That was just a moment of folly—it doesn’t count! I was also blinded by greed,” Dir explained. “As long as you let me go, I promise I’ll never bother you again!”
Ye Feng frowned upon hearing this. He despised those who lacked backbone the most! “I think killing you is the only permanent solution.”
“You can’t do that!” Dir cried out immediately.
“Why not?” Ye Feng retorted. “I don’t know how many people you’ve done business with like this, but from what I know, dealing with demons usually doesn’t end well! Keeping you around will only kill more people. By killing you, I can get all the items you have and eliminate any future troubles from letting you go. Why not?”
“Since you insist, there’s nothing I can do!” Determination flashed in Dir’s eyes as his body suddenly swelled.
Ye Feng was shocked. He hadn’t expected the other party to resort to self-destruction. The swelling body and the unstable aura emanating from within allowed Ye Feng to instantly realize he was about to explode!
It should be noted that even a cultivator at the Spirit Immortal level could tear through the space of the cultivation world with a full-powered attack, let alone a self-destruction explosion, whose destructive power would be unparalleled. It was very likely that the entire planet could be destroyed by such an explosion.
Ye Feng frowned deeply, but inwardly he was relieved. This was a deserted planet, so even if it was destroyed, there would be little loss of life. Of course, there were some magical beasts on the planet, and they would inevitably meet their death.
“Since you refuse to let me go, then die with me!” Dir’s face twisted into a grotesque smile as he roared at Ye Feng.
The moment he finished speaking, a blinding white light burst from his dantian. In an instant, that white light covered the entire sky, followed by a deafening explosion. All Ye Feng could see was endless white…
