Chapter 148: The Garden Master
When the starlight bloomed, everyone realized that the splashing light was not starlight, but small light spheres, each flashing with countless images. These light spheres, orbiting the Star Bone Pillar, rapidly revolved and combined into a rocket-shaped pillar, buzzing and vibrating.
“What are they doing?!”
“What else can they do! The guy inside is sending these images out! He’s practically asking for death!”
“Flower Host! What are you waiting for, stop him quickly!”
The nobles on the first floor had extremely grim expressions. The effeminate Flower Host clutched his head in pain, his face ashen. Damn it, if he could stop it, he would have already, but someone was secretly attacking him. Despite his high mental power, he could only barely avoid being controlled.
“BOOM BZZZZZZ————”
Before everyone could react, the light arrow formed by the image light spheres violently shot towards the sky, exploding like fireworks reaching their apex. But as the dazzling light swept across heaven and earth, everyone realized this was no mere firework explosion, but a ‘nuclear explosion’! A mushroom-shaped light cloud, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, bloomed above the vast and boundless garden, rapidly purifying and spreading at the speed of light. Countless light spheres recording the garden’s images scattered in all directions. This was the ability of the Sky Eye Core. In a few seconds, these images would spread throughout District 51, making everyone see.
Outside the garden.
A disheveled middle-aged uncle, squatting on the ground and leisurely puffing on a cigar, suddenly froze. He narrowed his eyes and looked up. The old man in a wheelchair beside him also looked at the distant sky, his gaze heavy.
At that moment, the higher sky suddenly churned and formed a giant hand that covered the sky, like a divine palm descending from heaven from the Buddha, gently pressing down on the mushroom cloud. The mushroom cloud seemed to shrink, its light and clouds instantly vanishing. The image light spheres, which had only managed to escape ten kilometers, seemed to hit a barrier and also suddenly dissipated. Looking down from the clouds, one could see that tens of kilometers outside the garden, and nearly a hundred kilometers of grassland and forest within the garden’s domain, were covered by a giant golden semi-circle. The countless image light spheres that could not escape, like ants on a hot pan, scurried chaotically between heaven and earth.
“As expected, we were still indulging in wishful thinking,” the Xuanwu Bureau Chief slowly closed his eyes, his aged voice low.
“It seems Uncle Wei is in grave danger this time,” the White Dragon Walker took another puff of his cigar, exhaling smoke. With a grin, he sneered, “If you ask me, I should have brought those soldiers and massacred this godforsaken place!”
“It’s just a pity that behind the garden, it’s not as simple as just one Garden Master,” the old man stared at the distant sky where the divine palm and mushroom cloud were slowly fading, his gaze sinking slightly.
“Uncle Wei,” the Xuanwu sighed, “his plan was already very risky, but unfortunately, he couldn’t be persuaded.”
“Let’s go. It’s time for us to retreat.”

“Garden Master!”
“It’s the Garden Master who made a move!”
Inside the glass room, someone exclaimed with surprise. Seeing this, all the nobles, whose hearts had been in their throats, finally relaxed and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Tsk, it’s good that we have the Garden Master. The Flower Host shook his head, grinned, spread his arms, and said with unrestrained laughter, “Alright everyone! The almighty Garden Master is protecting you at all times, so don’t worry too much. Let’s continue hunting in the garden, my family!”
As his words fell, the faces of the newly arrived girls, who had just held onto hope, turned pale again. The silence was broken by a terrified scream from a girl in the darkness.
“Haha! Dear Miss Zhizi, we meet again! This time we’ll let you escape, just like when we met your boyfriend last time. Run! Scream! But little darling, if we catch you, you’ll have to endure double the punishment!”
Chaos erupted again, and the sounds of teasing and playful, rampant laughter played a wild melody.
“He actually failed…” Xia Feng’s gaze was solemn. He looked up through the glass room at the clouds. Was that giant hand covering the sky the Garden Master?
“To be suppressed by these maggots for so many years, it’s truly ridiculous.”
Suddenly, a woman’s calm, light voice sounded by his ear. Xia Feng turned in confusion. He saw the black-dressed woman standing at the edge of the second floor. Her light gold beautiful eyes beneath the half-fox mask looked down indifferently, a strange light flickering in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
“What did you just say?” Xia Feng felt something was wrong.
“Nothing,” the black-dressed woman shook her head, looked at Xia Feng, and smiled warmly, “What will you do next? It won’t be easy to save Uncle Wei in this situation.”
“No—” Xia Feng shook his head, his dark eyes sinking slightly. “It’s actually very easy.”
“Hmm?”
“Just kill everyone here!”
He looked at the renewed chaos on the first floor, no longer intending to hold back. Since Old Wei had failed, it was up to him to expose the dirty deeds of this cursed place to the world!
“Buzz—”
Just then, the space in front suddenly fluctuated, and a four-meter-wide flowing golden giant hand emerged out of thin air, charging directly at Cha Nai Xue, who was behind Xia Feng’s side. Cha Nai Xue’s pupils widened, her whole body stiffening, unable to move.
!
The sudden palm also greatly alarmed Xia Feng. A thought crossed his mind, and a platinum key immediately appeared between his eyebrows, emitting a faint milky white spiritual wave that subtly purified the surroundings. A rapidly expanding white hole appeared centering on him, instantly filling the entire glass room and then expanding outwards by a kilometer. The nobles in the glass room, who were preparing to unleash their desires unrestrainedly, suddenly realized what was happening and looked up in astonishment.
“What?!”
The few nobles surrounding Miss Zhizi retreated a few steps in terror. The blond man’s face changed drastically: “Bad! It’s a Calamity Realm Devour!! Run–”
But they couldn’t escape at all. As the light pierced through, everyone disappeared. Cha Nai Xue was also swallowed into the Calamity Realm by Xia Feng. The golden hand hesitated for a moment, then forcefully grabbed Ye Lixing and the knights behind him, instantly retracting into space and disappearing out of thin air.
All of this happened in an instant. Xia Feng simultaneously appeared in the Rules Space of the Calamity Realm. In a world of white light, countless dense, pure white chains floated – these were the rule chains that constituted this Calamity Realm. Now, they were broken into irregular fragments, floating and sinking in the Rules Space. And in the center of the world, a platinum key hovered.
[Key of Calamity]

[Note: One-time consumable]
[Effect: You can choose any point in time to release this Calamity Realm, absorbing all targets within the scope into this Calamity Realm. (You can add or remove rules based on the original Calamity Realm rules according to the difficulty level.)]
The Key of Calamity suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless golden lights that merged into the broken rule chains. Xia Feng had already had ideas for constructing rules. With his thought, the broken rule chains reconnected in an orderly fashion.
