Chapter 598: Surrender to My Throne
An hour passed.
Xia Feng was getting a little sleepy.
Finally, the bandaged man Tu Lin was the first to create a C-class matrix. With the white-shirted elder nodding in satisfaction, he floated towards the Sky Lantern Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
The Pope’s son, Dipus, smiled gently and casually tossed out a C-class matrix, following suit.
It had to be said that Xia Feng found it lonely to be too exceptional.
These geniuses all seemed very powerful and arrogant, but compared to Mu Shen, they were not even worth a speck.
They were incredibly slow.
Mu Qingtong also found these people to be too slow. She looked at the departing figures of Tu Lin and Dipus with confusion, lost in thought.
These so-called super geniuses who were leading the era took a full hour to create a C-class matrix, and they felt proud of it.
Perhaps this was the happiness of ants.
Luckily, Mr. Xia existed as his kind, preventing her life from being too boring.
“Mr. Xia, when you were in the Nightmare Realm, did you encounter anyone with outstanding talent?”
Mu Qingtong’s clear voice echoed in Xia Feng’s mind.
He shook his head and smiled lightly. “Miss Mu, if you want to find someone of your kind, you might as well try your luck with Lord Dragon God. In my estimation, Lord Dragon God’s talent is very likely comparable to yours and mine.”
“Her?”
Hearing Mr. Xia’s high evaluation of that existence, Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes and said calmly with interest:
“I hope she is of my kind.”
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow and stroked his chin. “If she is, what will you do?”
“If she is, she will be like you, Mr. Xia,” the woman in the black dress said, her golden beautiful eyes glancing sideways at Xia Feng. “She will surrender to my throne.”
“…”
Xia Feng couldn’t help but picture himself and Miss Evil Dragon hugging the black-dressed woman’s legs on either side, while the black-dressed woman lazily lounged on her throne, her imperial eyes looking down at the man and dragon.
The humiliating scene flashed by. Xia Feng quickly dismissed it and replaced it with a scene of him high on his throne, with Miss Witch and Miss Evil Dragon hugging his legs on either side, looking up at him eagerly.
Thinking about it this way, he felt much better. Xia Feng’s lips curved unconsciously.
“Mr. Xia, are you daydreaming again?” Seeing Xia Feng’s increasingly strange and evil smile, Mu Qingtong interrupted with a sarcastic, light tone.
His fantasy shattered, Xia Feng suddenly recovered, glanced at the woman, and raised his chin. “Heh~ You just wait!”
Wait for what? Wait to expose the memory of Mr. Xia panicking and worrying about me? Or wait for Mr. Xia to admit he likes me?
Mu Qingtong’s lips curled into a faint smile. She could indeed wait.
Another half hour passed.
In the crowd, Ning Zilu’s forehead was covered in sweat as he finally completed a D-class matrix. The white-shirted elder glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.
The mental exertion was too much, and Ning Zilu’s breathing was a bit unsteady, but he didn’t dare to delay. With annoyance in his eyes, he sped towards the Sky Lantern Pavilion.
He truly never expected the Pope’s son and that bandaged man to be so powerful, creating a C-class matrix in less than an hour!
It was simply outrageous!
What shattered his worldview even further was that half of the other eight bystanders had a construction speed comparable to his, clearly indicating they were also exceptionally talented individuals like himself.
When did the 15th Area have so many geniuses!
However, luckily, apart from the Pope’s son and the bandaged man being somewhat heaven-defying, the rest were not that formidable.
Seeing that only two spots were left, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong no longer waited.
They tossed out a D-class matrix and followed closely behind Ning Zilu. To the confused and astonished gazes of the crowd, who wondered how the two of them had suddenly finished, they flew towards the Sky Lantern Pavilion.
Sky Lantern Pavilion.
Belonging to the Ye Li Royal Family, its true form was an Epic-class God Relic. Located in the Ye Li Clan territory in the First Area, it housed a vast amount of treasures accumulated by the Ye Li Royal Family over tens of thousands of years.
Branches of the Sky Lantern Pavilion existed in the 7th, 15th, 25th, and 41st Areas. Treasures stored in the main pavilion of the First Area could be directly teleported to the sub-pavilions.
The Sky Lantern Pavilion in Li Tian City was one such sub-pavilion. Xia Feng looked up at the magnificent high pavilion, his black eyes flashing. It was a pity that he could only snatch Spirit Artifacts, not God Relics.
Otherwise, he would have plundered the Ye Li Royal Family clean just to feel satisfied!
However, even if he couldn’t snatch God Relics that required pledging allegiance now, it might not be the case in the future.
As long as he could fulfill his promise with the Old Dragon King, the Old Dragon King would help him complete the Holy Solution Ceremony, fully sanctifying him and granting him the ability to copy divine authority.
God Relics were the solidification of divine authority, so they could naturally be copied, or even plundered.
He wondered how things were going at the Holy Spirit Hall.
The Old Dragon King had asked him to break the seal of Spirit Mountain, so he used the news of the Saint’s remains to lure all the major powers to the Holy Spirit Hall’s Spirit Mountain, using these powerful forces to attack the mountain.
Whether this method would work was still unknown.
“Crack—”
The pavilion door opened wide, and golden light sucked the two of them into the pavilion.
“!”
Looking up, a golden world appeared in Xia Feng’s eyes.
It was a spiral library, with rows of shelves stacked layer by layer towards the sky, reaching three hundred meters high. The higher it went, the narrower the space became.
In each shelf compartment floated a phantom object, be it Spirit Paper, a God Relic, Spirit Material, or a Spirit Science creation.
All sorts of treasures, dazzling and numerous.
At the top level, above 250 meters, there were even Epic-class God Relics, several sheets of A-class Spirit Paper sealed in silver boxes, and Level 7 Spirit Materials.
It could only be said to be worthy of a super power with deep foundations. Xia Feng’s eyes glinted with desire.
However, it was a pity that these were projections from the main pavilion, not physical objects.
Xia Feng could only look on enviously for now.
Of course, now was not the time to consider these things.
Because—
“Boom—!”
Blinding explosion fire erupted in the high sky. The Pope’s son and the bandaged man retreated from the light mist, quickly stabilizing themselves.
Slight golden patterns spread across Dipus’s handsome face, connecting to the corners of his eyes. He indifferently stared at the light mist in the distance and said in a gentle voice:
“Gu Xun, hand over the Sumeru King Order, and I will spare your life.”
“Heh~”
In the distance, the light mist dispersed and then suddenly condensed, forming a three-eyed person wearing a dark blue cloak who looked down. The vertical eye between his eyebrows was stern.
“Your strength is far greater than mine, but unfortunately, here, you cannot harm me in the slightest.”
As he spoke, Gu Xun’s gaze casually swept over the three people who had just entered below.
Ning Zilu’s expression was panicked. He hid behind a pillar, trembling, afraid to breathe. He was furious. He had come to the lantern festival to gain treasures! Why was he encountering all these monstrous powerhouses!
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged a glance.
Although they had expected it, seeing that something had gone wrong in the Sky Lantern Pavilion and someone was causing trouble, they still felt a bit helpless.
They had just come to exchange for a D-class Spirit Paper, why did they have to encounter something like this?
Couldn’t they fight after they got the Spirit Paper they wanted?
However, it sounded like these three were fighting over a treasure called the ‘Sumeru King Order.’
Xia Feng pondered, feeling that the item sounded somewhat familiar.
