Chapter 472: The Unbeatable Cycle of Love Tribulation
After severing his soul connection with He Jianzhu, Xia Feng’s consciousness became independent again. The interrupted resurrection process was restored. Yang energy, spirit base, the spirit pressure attached to the surface of the spirit base, and his physical body. His figure rapidly condensed behind the Blood Throne.
Ri Nuo sensed the aura of a living being that suddenly appeared behind him and couldn’t help but frown. He turned his head to see Xia Feng’s smiling face. His pupils contracted imperceptibly. The Blood Throne flickered a few times, instantly appearing in the sky above.
Ri Nuo lowered his ferocious Nuo mask, his gaze beneath the mask coldly looking down at Xia Feng. “You’re not dead?”
Xia Feng, wearing a black trench coat and stepping on red mist, looked up and spread his hands. “Obviously.”
Not far away, the ethereal light form suspended in mid-air stirred slightly. Peach Blossom Star Lord’s heart surged with immense fury. How could this be? This ant actually didn’t die! After killing Xia Feng, Peach Blossom Star Lord felt his hatred had been appeased, and his mood was calm. But seeing this scene now, his heart was once again filled with anger. He realized he might have been tricked by that ant!
What baffled him the most was how the ant managed to feign death right under their noses? To know that whether it was him or Ri Nuo, even though they no longer possessed their godheads and their strength was reduced to less than a tenth, it was impossible to escape their detection! Yet, this ant had done it. Not only had he done it, but he had reappeared while both he and Ri Nuo were critically wounded, clearly intending to reap the benefits. Damn it! Peach Blossom Star Lord’s anger continued to surge. He wanted to kill Xia Feng again, finding it difficult to maintain his previous calm and indifferent state. However, after careful consideration, he still chose to continue playing dead.
In the current situation, the being named Ri Nuo still had some strength and was not yet in desperation. There was still a chance to turn the tables! He just needed to wait for the opportune moment!
Ri Nuo was indeed somewhat surprised. He had thought Xia Feng was an insignificant nobody, but he didn’t expect this human to pull off such a trick right under his nose. Rebirth from death! However, it wasn’t a major issue. Although he couldn’t fully utilize the power of the Refining God Tower, he could still control some of the Bloodworms within the tower. Divine Half-dragons could withstand a very high concentration of Bloodworms, but prolonged exposure to extremely high concentrations would also be fatal. Therefore, killing this human brat within this tower wouldn’t be difficult.
Ri Nuo controlled the Blood Throne and retreated into the distance. At the same time, countless blood-red mist flows converged towards Xia Feng, like thousands of flickering-tongued ghostly snakes, their eyes ferocious, biting and devouring him. Xia Feng’s limbs were bound by countless blood chains formed by Bloodworms, and his entire body was instantly swallowed by the dense red mist. Ri Nuo leaned on his throne, his gaze contemptuous, quietly waiting for the human’s death.
However, he was puzzled. The man’s aura had never weakened; instead, it was slowly rising, exuding a more terrifying presence. Ri Nuo couldn’t help but frown, sensing something was wrong. The human man easily broke the Bloodworm chains and slowly walked out of the dense red mist. He looked up at Ri Nuo, a smug smile appearing on his lips. “Ha, is that all?”
Ri Nuo’s eyes narrowed. With a slight thought, even more Bloodworms gathered around. But the next moment, his indifferent expression beneath the mask froze. He suddenly looked up at the top of the tower, his hands tightly gripping the armrest. He clearly sensed that his connection with the Refining God Tower had been severed!
At the same time, new information appeared in Xia Feng’s mind.
[God Relic – Refining God Tower (incomplete)]
[First Priority: Calamity Demon]
[Authority Recycle Complete – First Priority: Xia Feng (Heart Calamity Demon Blood)]
[This relic is a God Relic that can be pledged allegiance to. Allegiance successful!]
[Refining God: Consume ‘Tower Crystals’ to refine gods. The more divine power contained within a god or an object of a god, the more ‘Tower Crystals’ are consumed.]
[Tower Crystal: 1. Sacrifice 10,000 ‘high-quality souls’ to condense 1 Tower Crystal. 2. Sacrifice 1 ‘God Spirit’ to condense 1 Tower Crystal.]
[….]
[Second Priority: Ri Nuo]
[Do you wish to sever the connection of the second priority with the Refining God Tower?]
[Yes——]
Xia Feng immediately felt an overall control over this incomplete giant tower, sensing the existence of all Bloodworms in the entire space. These Bloodworms were like a vast ocean filling the planet, their sheer quantity being hundreds of thousands of times greater than that stored in the Shadow of the Blood Fiend, a truly terrifying amount! And he clearly noticed that these Bloodworms within the tower were different from ordinary ones. They should have developed ‘Refining God’ characteristics after being modified by the Refining God Tower.
Lost in thought, with a flicker of his mind, a massive number of terrifying Bloodworms surged towards the Blood Throne like rolling waves.
Immediately, Ri Nuo was submerged in the bloody ocean. Xia Feng, through the Eye of Deconstruction, saw the Nuo mask of the man in black crack further, shattering with a bang. Beneath the mask, there was actually another ferocious Nuo mask. Xia Feng was amazed; did this Ri Nuo have no face?
Under the erosion of the Bloodworms, Ri Nuo’s entire black robe seemed to be burning, emitting wisps of black smoke. His Nuo masks shattered one after another. He struggled to lift his head, and a terrifying divine light seemed to shoot directly at Xia Feng. His voice, filled with disbelieving divine rage and killing intent, boomed, “Ant, what have you done to this King?!”
Ri Nuo’s anger was filled with confusion. He couldn’t comprehend how this could happen? The Refining God Tower severing its connection with him was one thing, but in the next moment, it seemed to have directly pledged allegiance to that ant? To Ri Nuo, the Heart Calamity Demon Blood could be lost, and the seal imprisoning him could remain unbroken, but the Refining God Tower was absolutely indispensable! Yet, the current situation caught him off guard, even feeling absurd.
“Brat, who exactly are you?!” The terrifying low roar filled with killing intent exploded in his ears. Xia Feng felt his ears ache; even in this state, Ri Nuo was still so full of vigor.
The changes in the arena also caught Peach Blossom Star Lord off guard. He couldn’t understand what was happening now? Such a powerful artifact as the Refining God Tower was snatched away just like that? What was this Ri Nuo guy doing? Was he useless?!
Peach Blossom Star Lord, who had been pretending to be dead, was starting to lose his composure. He had originally planned to watch from the shadows and be the final victor. The best outcome would have been for that ant to have a trump card and bring Ri Nuo down with him, and the worst outcome would have been for the ant to be instantly killed by Ri Nuo. But he hadn’t expected an even worse outcome: Ri Nuo was about to be instantly killed! Damn it!
Peach Blossom Star Lord was finally starting to panic. He just hoped that the damn, lowly ant would ignore him, thinking he was already dead and wouldn’t bother with him anymore. But fate had other plans. The ant flickered a few times and instantly appeared above his light form, looking down with calm eyes and a smile. “Peach Blossom Star Lord, how long do you plan to keep pretending to be dead?”
“! ” Peach Blossom Star Lord’s eyes snapped open. His face, filled with light flow, had only a pair of peach blossom eyes. Cold blood-red light swirled in his pupils as he looked up at the ant above. His anger subsided once more. He had figured it out. To this extent, at worst, he would be killed and go through the cycle of reincarnation again, reliving the nine cycles of love tribulation. After reincarnation and regaining his memories, he would then search for this ant’s whereabouts and kill him to avenge this life! With his cycle of love tribulation, he was already in an invincible position!
