Chapter 322: Witch Island!
Excellent.
After all, when people are extremely unlucky, from a certain perspective, it is also a kind of luck.
Xia Feng comforted himself.
The fleet ahead was like a hundred lions coiled, blocking their path.
The ships were adorned with solemn moon-shaped emblems, black and gold, and Xia Feng recognized the symbol at a glance.
It was the Black Moon Holy See!
However, fortunately, the Black Moon fleet did not seem to be here to intercept Xia Feng. At this moment, the prows of the fleet were facing west, and their sterns were facing Xia Feng and the four forces behind him.
Through the Eye of Deconstruction, Xia Feng saw a giant island shrouded in purple mist far ahead of the fleet.
The fleet surrounded the island, but as Xia Feng and the others approached, the Black Moon Holy See also discovered their presence.
A majestic and deep voice swept from the center of the fleet towards the eastern sea:
“This sea area has been taken over by the Black Moon Holy See. You have entered our waters, please leave immediately!”
Xia Feng and the four forces behind him were startled.
“This is your final warning. Those who do not return within three seconds will be considered enemies of our Black Moon.” The majestic voice carried a hint of indifferent killing intent.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged glances. Mu Qingtong understood his meaning instantly and nodded, immediately increasing speed and charging towards the Black Moon fleet!
As the shuttle-shaped boat moved, the four forces behind them also ignored the Black Moon Holy See’s warning and sped up wildly!
Black Moon Holy See: “…”
At this moment, at the center of the Black Moon ships, a middle-aged man in a pitch-black priest’s robe looked at the scene outside with a solemn expression.
“Lord Meng’en, shall we attack? The intruders seem… a bit too many.”
A subordinate stepped forward, his tone somewhat eerie, “Heavenly Revelation, Golden Sparrow Flower, Burning Heaven Sacred Hall, and Yuan Sanye’s Divine Needle?”
“They all seem to be pursuing that shuttle-shaped boat?” The subordinate was shocked. Being jointly pursued by so many large forces with grudges against each other, this person must have committed a great offense, which was quite outrageous.
Xu Meng’en’s face was cold, and he said in a deep voice, “Attack, indiscriminate fire!”
The majesty of the Black Moon Holy See must not be violated.
“Yes!”
All the Black Moon fleet ships lit up simultaneously. High-energy beams poured down like dense raindrops, illuminating the entire sea area and engulfing Xia Feng and the four forces.
For more than a thousand years, the empire’s research on spirit particle weapons has been progressing by leaps and bounds. As various time-space ships capable of long-distance voyages evolved, the research on spirit particle weapons also developed rapidly, with most of them being produced by the Spirit Science Institute.
Now, the empire’s latest spirit particle weapons possess the strength equivalent to B-grade Spirit Robes. Of course, the cost of such spirit particle weapons is outrageously high, and they are scrapped after a single use, with a high risk of self-destruction, making them impossible to popularize.
However, spirit particle weapons equivalent to C-class Spirit Robes have already been popularized, and are equipped in large numbers by both the Eight Great Legions and the Three Great Holy Sees.
Of course, the damage caused by C-class Spirit Robes is merely superficial to True Martial realm experts, and can generally be ignored even if hit.
But they have the advantage of concentrated energy. If one C-class attack cannot kill someone, then thousands of concentrated attacks, especially if they are willing to spend money to add soul-damaging properties, can injure even Venerables if they are focused.
However, using this method to deal with Venerables is somewhat wishful thinking, as Venerables are not immobile targets.
Because of this, in history, a cult group composed of scientific madmen, in order to increase the effectiveness of spirit particle weapons against enemies, researched a spirit particle structure that disrupts spacetime, called the ‘Time-Breaking Structure/Characteristic’.
When this spirit particle structure is applied to spirit particle weapons, most spirit particle weapons can cause damage to the Eternal Flow Sea!
Yes, since they cannot kill True Martial and Venerable realm powerhouses, they will disrupt the stable spacetime state within the Space-time Sea, creating terrifying spacetime turbulence, and using the spacetime turbulence against them!
Of course, this kind of weapon can only be used within the Eternal Flow Sea.
Wherever the spirit particle weapon beam passes, the structure of the surrounding seawater will crack and disintegrate, erupting with terrifying spacetime turbulence that devours all surrounding matter.
This level of spacetime turbulence can even swallow time-space ships, attacking indiscriminately. Even if living beings are inside a time-space ship, they cannot escape.
However, fortunately, as the beam fades, the seawater structure will stabilize and re-aggregate, and the spacetime turbulence will quickly disappear, restoring the spacetime state to normal.
Even so, it is still terrifying.
Being swallowed by spacetime turbulence means entering the River of Time and Space, with almost no possibility of escape, which is no different from being dead.
It is precisely because of this that True Martial and Venerable realm powerhouses must treat large fleets with caution when encountered in the Eternal Flow Sea. However, it seems that neither Yin Shi nor the Golden Sparrow Flower Goddess Hall has taken the Black Moon Holy See’s attack too seriously.
This is because only a portion of the beams fired by the Black Moon Holy See carries the ‘Time-Breaking Characteristic’. After all, this thing is quite expensive, and it is impossible for every spirit particle weapon to be equipped with it.
So, they only need to be careful not to be hit by beams with the ‘Time-Breaking Characteristic’.
The various forces charged forward amidst the dense beams.
The Goddess Fleet also launched Time-Breaking attacks, exchanging fire with the Black Moon fleet’s hot weapons. The five forces were caught in a terrifying chaotic battle.
“Damn it, gone again!” Corvis had been keeping an eye on Xia Feng’s whereabouts. In a moment of carelessness, the shuttle-shaped boat disappeared again.
Xia Feng entered the Holy Knight Space, ignored the dense ‘Time-Breaking Beam’ attacks, passed through the Black Moon’s massive fleet, and quickly approached the island in front.
The island was shrouded in purple mist, and a faint aura of Calamity Force seemed to emanate from within.
“This is… Witch Island?” Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes, seemingly recognizing the island. She transmitted mentally, “Mr. Xia, shall we go into this island to take a look?”
Xia Feng was startled and nodded indifferently, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Since Miss Mu wanted to go, he would accompany her to take a look.
Mu Qingtong would not put them both in danger. Since she suggested entering the island, it meant that entering the island would make them safer.
Xia Feng was too lazy to ask further, and he didn’t have time to.
“However, Miss Mu, you need to speed up. The Holy Knight Space only has 7 seconds left.”
As Xia Feng reminded her, the shuttle-shaped boat accelerated and rushed straight towards the purple mist-shrouded Witch Island.
Just as they were about to enter the island, Xia Feng glanced back at the terrifying chaotic battle behind them.
Heavenly Revelation, Golden Sparrow Flower, Goddess Hall, Black Moon Holy See, Dinghai Divine Needle – Unknown Force
One could only say that it was a truly exhilarating escape.
He slipped away.
At the same time, inside the Black Moon warship.
Xu Meng’en gently caressed his cross necklace with one hand while frowning at the chaotic battle scene outside the ship.
Troubles came one after another, and he was somewhat troubled.
“Lord Meng’en, we have already contacted the personnel on the island’s ground and confirmed that Saintess Qiue is missing, her whereabouts and safety currently unknown.” A subordinate stepped forward with a solemn expression.
Xu Meng’en’s gaunt face was stern, and he said in a deep voice, “What about the Witch’s Key?”
“Not found yet.” The subordinate shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Meng’en took a deep breath. The purpose of this trip was to find the Witch’s Key on Witch Island.
But now, not only had the Witch’s Key not been found, but they might even lose the Saintess. If they returned to the main sanctuary like this, the Pope would probably not let him off easily.
“Sir!” Just then, another subordinate hurriedly spoke, “That shuttle-shaped boat broke through our blockade through unknown means! It has entered Witch Island!”
“Hm?!”
Xu Meng’en’s head snapped up, his expression slightly grim.
However, as if thinking of something, he smiled faintly and shook his head, “So be it, let them in. These fools who don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, whether they can get out of the island alive is another question.”
After a moment of thought, he turned back and said solemnly,
“Give the order to reinforce Witch Island and find Saintess Jiang Qiue at all costs!”
The Witch’s Key can be lost; it’s up to fate.
But the Saintess must not be harmed!
