Key Plot Points and Events

• Duan Ruohai recognizes Zou Feng as the mysterious Golden Core cultivator who had been assisting Zhao Feixiong. Although surprised, he becomes confident that Zou Feng’s arrogance will lead to his downfall.
• Duan summons his powerful Wrathful Yama Avatar, an external manifestation fueled by fear, karma, and Incense Power gathered from mortals in his pocket dimension. Its terrifying aura disrupts Zou Feng’s dancing technique and mentally provokes him.
• Green Dance intervenes with her bizarre but powerful singing. Her “Super Throat-Breaker” does little physical damage but destabilizes Duan Ruohai, even giving the dignified Nascent Soul cultivator an uncontrollable urge to urinate.
• Encouraged by Green Dance’s singing, Zou Feng restores his Flower-Hand Shake and expands the Dazzling Dance Poison Domain. Golden lotuses fill the sky, while the Venom Demons add poison and mental contamination through their chaotic dance.
• Duan initially believes he can outlast Zou Feng through his superior cultivation, endurance, and endless Incense Power. However, Zou Feng uses Side-Effect Critical Hit, briefly injuring and distracting him.

• The corruption spreads to Duan’s pocket dimension, eliminating the fear that produced his Incense Power. As a result, Duan loses one of his greatest advantages.
• Duan attempts to summon another divine technique, but his body involuntarily performs the Flower-Hand Shake instead. He is forced to dance against his will, while realizing that participating in the Poison Domain is steadily destroying him.
• Zou Feng and the others encircle and attack him through close-range awkward dancing, combining physical blows, poison, mental contamination, and overwhelming humiliation.
• Just as Zou Feng prepares the finishing attack, Zhao Feixiong intervenes. He warns that Duan may escape through his external avatar and takes responsibility for killing him.
• Zhao embraces the weakened Duan and activates the avatar in his own sea of consciousness, luring Duan’s avatar back toward him. This avatar has been secretly tampered with, setting up the final trap.

• Zhao Feixiong reveals his strategic depth and loyalty. He correctly identifies Duan’s potential escape method and prepares to deliver the decisive blow using the avatar Duan himself once gave him.
