Chapter 1006: The Holy Emperor Driven Mad

"Seal attribute..."

Tianren Wushuai murmured softly, his expression slightly dazed, and now he couldn't laugh at all.

A small girl had suddenly unleashed such formidable power, taking down Feng Tang Meng Po in just a few rounds, nearly an instant kill.

Undoubtedly, he had gone from being the hunter to the prey in the blink of an eye.

Tianren Wushuai couldn't believe this fact, but what intrigued him was...

Why?

How had she done it?

"Feng Tian Shengdi, Feng Yujin?"

Even if he refused to believe it, the strongest force associated with the seal attribute that Tianren Wushuai remembered was only this name.

He couldn't recall many of the person's deeds.

He only vaguely knew that this figure belonged to history and shouldn't appear in this era, but the last renowned user of the seal attribute was solely this one.

"Interesting!"

Feng Yujin laughed at the words: "I never expected that on this continent, there are still people who remember my title. It seems you're not just an ordinary Tai Xu; at least you know some secrets of the Shengdi."

He paused, sizing up Tianren Wushuai's attire, and raised his voice: "Yan Wang?"

At that moment, Tianren Wushuai's heart had sunk to the depths.

Ben Di...

No denial...

Was he really Feng Tian Shengdi, Feng Yujin?

This figure shouldn't have vanished into history long ago—where had he come from?

Thinking back to the little lamb he had faced earlier, and how the other party's personality had completely changed after his threat, with their strength shifting accordingly...

This bizarre form could only be explained in one way.

"Gui Shou?" Tianren Wushuai didn't answer, his tone filled with astonishment. "You've actually survived as a Gui Shou to this day?"

"I hate it most when people call me a Gui Shou!" Feng Yujin felt a surge of nameless fury. "I have never died!"

With a boom, the space under his feet cracked, and he lunged forward, striking at Tianren Wushuai with a palm.

"There's a way out, there's a way out..."

Tianren Wushuai's pupils contracted sharply, but his thoughts remained incredibly calm.

Logically, if the other was truly the "Shengdi," he and Meng Po would have been on their knees with just a glance, given their earlier playful attitude.

But no!

Meng Po had suffered from faulty intelligence and hadn't even unleashed a tenth of her power.

Whether this "Feng Yujin" was really "Feng Tian Shengdi" was still up for debate, and even if he was, his strength would be greatly diminished while inhabiting that young girl's body.

If he could wield even half of Sheng ability, why resort to close combat?

"He's at most Tai Xu!

"And I, Tianren Wushuai, take on everything below half Sheng!"

With his resolve firm, Tianren Wushuai's heart steadied.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and black mist billowed from his body, transforming into a ferocious, fanged demon behind him.

"Filth Demon!"

Without any hesitation, Tianren Wushuai summoned his Tai Xu power first.

Facing Feng Yujin charging in with momentum but an unremarkable palm, he channeled twelve times his full strength, gathering blackness in his palm, and struck back.

"Degeneration!"

A thunderous boom echoed.

In the void, the air pressure exploded, shattering the space with the roar.

Seal versus Degeneration!

Without Sheng force interference, Tianren Wushuai couldn't be sure which was stronger.

Likewise, Feng Yujin had heard of the "Degeneration Body" but never experienced it firsthand.

As a figure who had dominated an era, he possessed vast theoretical knowledge.

But theory was just theory; when the two strongest forces below half Sheng clashed palms, whether he could seal Degeneration was anyone's guess.

Clang!

Gray and black shockwaves rippled from their palms, engulfing them completely.

After the explosion, the first sound to emerge was the peculiar noise Feng Yujin had made when he sealed Feng Tang Meng Po earlier.

Tianren Wushuai's heart skipped a beat at the sound.

"Am I going to lose?"

Before he could think more, his energy surged wildly, continuing to confront Feng Yujin.

But Tianren Wushuai felt his body growing weaker by the second, his strength fading rapidly.

Seal!

He hadn't sealed all of me at once, but the seal force is gradually eroding my energy sea!

If this goes on, I'll lose...

The sense of dread didn't last long before Tianren Wushuai noticed a detail.

If my power is steadily declining and his isn't decreasing at all, I should have collapsed by now—so how are we still at a standoff?

"He's struggling against my Tai Xu power too!" Tianren Wushuai's mind raced with the realization.

On the other side, Feng Yujin was indeed forcing himself to hold on.

Tianren Wushuai was too strong!

This was a ability utterly detested by the Heavenly Dao; Seal was still within the Heavenly Dao, but this power transcended the five elements.

Even if he appeared calm on the surface, Feng Yujin knew his body had accumulated too many anomalies.

Earlier, when confronting Tianren Wushuai, there had already been some mutual effects—his clothes had become soiled, sweat had formed under his arms.

When he fought Feng Tang Meng Po, Tianren Wushuai's curse power had been active in the background, seemingly harmless, but Feng Yujin could clearly smell the foul odor now emanating from his own body.

In this direct palm clash, while his seal force was sealing the opponent's ability, the Degeneration and Filth power was affecting him too.

Feng Yujin sharply noticed that his hair ornaments, jade belt, bracelets... all his jewelry and finery had lost their luster, and his face had grown haggard.

These withering changes filled him with disgust.

"This host body is already degenerating; it's unworthy of my status. I should just leave and transfer myself..."

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Feng Yujin was jolted with alarm.

This is bad!

Clothes soiled, hair wilting, sweat under arms, body foul, discontent with my own status...

Tianren Wushuai's full effects were hitting—this could be fatal!

Besides, Mo Mo was an incredibly rare Seal Body. If he detached now as he had considered, his soul might wither away before finding a suitable new host.

"Little Mo Mo, you see it now?

"This is the 'Tianren Wushuai' phase I went to such lengths to show you.

"Remember this for the future: if you encounter people like him, never make eye contact or engage, or you're as good as dead. Now you know what would have happened if you hadn't run earlier?"

Feng Yujin declared boldly in his mind, then swiftly acted, willing to harm himself just to break the standoff with Tianren Wushuai.

Boom!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, flipped in midair, and retreated abruptly.

If he didn't pull back, even if he sealed the masked man, he'd be left bearing Tianren Wushuai's effects and facing a certain death from the Sheng downfall tribulation!

Pfft!

On the other side, as the standoff ended and the backlash hit, Tianren Wushuai also spat blood from under his mask, splattering his face.

Fortunately, it was Feng Yujin who had broken off first, so he bore more of the burden.

Tianren Wushuai's blood loss was just a drop in the bucket compared to his total power.

However...

Glancing at his energy sea, Tianren Wushuai's eyes darkened with fear.

In that brief standoff, Feng Yujin had sealed a full seventy percent of his Tai Xu energy sea—even with the boost from his Tai Xu power, "Filth Demon."

And on Feng Yujin's side, it was just an ordinary palm...

The strength comparison was clear at a glance!

"Senior Feng is truly formidable, worthy of the former Shengdi. It was I who was presumptuous today."

Tianren Wushuai knew when to back down, and now his thoughts turned to retreat.

He glanced at Feng Tang Meng Po, still unconscious nearby. The fight had just begun, and they had already lost one member.

The task from Huang Quan was still pending; Feng Tang Meng Po couldn't die, and he couldn't afford to meet his end at the hands of some mysterious Gui Shou.

Since it was a former Shengdi, Huang Quan would surely understand if he reported back...

With that in mind, Tianren Wushuai had no desire to continue fighting. He cupped his fists and bowed.

"Senior, you're still in the midst of recovering your strength. Allowing me that palm just now was a great favor, and I have no intention of further offense.

"How about we call it a draw today?

"As for my earlier rudeness, I'll make amends another day—what do you say?"

This was undoubtedly a win-win solution.

Feng Yujin was tempted.

It was just an encounter, not a life-or-death feud, so why fight to the end?

He wasn't afraid of this Yan Wang masked man; it was simply that the Seal Body was too precious. Finding such a host right after escaping Void Island had been tough enough.

If they kept fighting and both ended up wounded, Mo Mo could even die, and all he'd gain would be two heads.

Not worth it!

"Little kid, your body can't take much more.

"Tianren Wushuai's power might be a mystery to others, but I can handle it—it just takes time. The best option is to get out of here now and hide somewhere.

"As long as it's not Gu Yin Cliff, I could seal off your Tianren Wushuai phase completely in ten days or half a month.

"But if we keep fighting..."

Feng Yujin explained in his mind, laying out the pros and cons.

He knew Mo Mo was a smart girl, empathetic enough to understand their shared body's current predicament.

But clearly...

Normally, Mo Mo was indifferent and would retreat if needed.

Yet this involved Tian Shang First Tower, and this masked man was after Mu Zi Xi.

Even Feng Tian Shengdi didn't want to continue after one palm— if this masked man found Mu Zi Xi or Xu Xiao Shou...

How would they fight?

Mo Mo couldn't imagine what method Mu Zi Xi and Xu Xiao Shou could use to counter this unbeatable Tianren Wushuai phase.

Since no one else could handle it and she had run into this trouble...

If I don't enter hell, who will?

"Feng Yujin, didn't you say you're the top below half Sheng, and if I released you, we could roam the five domains freely?"

Mo Mo's tone carried a hint of anger.

Feng Yujin felt a shiver run down his spine.

Grandma!

Who doesn't boast a little?

You have to consider my current state!

If you'd accepted my empowerment earlier and broken through to Wang Zu, I'd have at least recovered some Sheng force by now.

With Sheng force, I could take down whatever Degeneration Body this is in three moves—dismember him if I wanted.

But now...

It's a stalemate!

Fighting on would ruin this body.

As for Xu Xiao Shou, can't you care a bit less? You have no idea how the eight lords of Void Island torment people!

Just go along with that guy on the surface—what's the need for this?

"I did say that, but..."

Feng Yujin didn't dare voice his complaints loudly.

"You said it, and you also said you'd capture these two and hand them over for me to deal with—is that a lie too?" Mo Mo said angrily.

With a clang, Feng Yujin's mind reeled from the unfiltered anger, leaving him dizzy.

He felt a sudden surge of fury.

"Little girl, what are you joking about! When have I ever lied to you?

"I told you, accepting the inheritance won't harm you, and it's not possession.

"But you're stubborn, won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. You had to wait until you couldn't keep up with Xu Xiao Shou's growth before accepting it.

"What kind of person is Xu Xiao Shou? He's got more than just me on him—who knows how many Shengdi are plotting for him, how many big shots are giving him resources? And you had to wait!"

The more Feng Yujin spoke, the angrier he got, his expression losing control.

Tianren Wushuai was recovering his power on the side, watching this Feng Tian Shengdi fall silent, then silently grind his teeth and grimace, as if possessed—clearly, his focus was no longer on the fight.

He was baffled but quietly moved toward Feng Tang Meng Po, trying to slip away with her.

In his mind...

Mo Mo calmly accepted Feng Yujin's scolding and only replied once he realized something was off and his voice grew softer: "So it's my fault?"

Feng Yujin was speechless, almost wanting to clutch his head and cry.

What is this nonsense?

Is this what women are like?

No wonder I never married—staying away from women was the right choice.

What kind of creature is this? Completely unreasonable!

"My bad, my bad...

"But we really can't keep fighting now. In my view, the best choice is to leave and immediately seal off the Tianren Wushuai phase on us!"

Feng Yujin noticed the orange-masked man's cautious movements and inwardly cursed: Can't you hurry up and steal her away? What's with the dawdling—are you stupid?

Mo Mo saw it too.

She stopped persuading and simply said calmly: "If you dare leave, from now on, I won't have anything to do with you."

"Ha,"

"Haha,"

"Hahahaha!"

Tianren Wushuai was in the midst of sneaking away when a sudden burst of manic, possessed laughter erupted, making his heart jolt and his skin crawl with goosebumps.

He whipped around and saw the figure, who had been restraining his gray seal aura, suddenly flash black demonic energy in his eyes. Then, with a whoosh, endless black-gray energy erupted from him like a volcano.

"What's a Degeneration Body? Just wait a moment—I'll take his head right now!"
