Chapter 680: 680 Are You Sure You Want to Kill Me?
Chapter 681: 681. Strengthening Spirit Artifacts? How Powerful Can It Be?
At the same time, outside the church.
The four Apostles breathed a sigh of relief after completing the concealment seal on this place.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly; otherwise, they would have been implicated and killed by that crazy woman Angi.
With the Black Moon Pope missing and no near-god level combat power in Black Moon City,
Moro Saint Pastor was not to be trifled with. If he had followed the divine light, they, the Apostles, except for the Light Disciple, would probably have perished here.
“Boom—Boom—!”
Although the divine light was suppressed, the towering church had lost its foundation, shaking and trembling, steel bars twisting and deforming. With a heart-wrenching creak, it collapsed with a roar!
The airwaves kicked up by the collapsing building surged outwards. When the smoke and dust dispersed, the place where the magnificent church once stood had become a ruin.
The four Apostles’ spiritual senses probed into the ruins, only to see that Saint Pastor Angi had completed the resurrection of Hethwe and then teleported into the safe house.
The barrier preventing investigation around the safe house had not yet been broken, so their sight and spiritual senses could not penetrate, and they were unaware of the specific situation inside.
Logically, there should be no major issues, as among the four people inside, only three were Venerable First Realm Spirit Masters, and Cha Nai Xue wasn’t even a Venerable yet.
A Venerable Fourth Realm Spirit Master could easily crush these four.
Let alone Saint Pastor Angi.
However, strangely enough…
The Apostles waited for a full ten seconds, but besides violent fluctuations of spirit pressure from inside, Saint Pastor Angi did not emerge.
“Could something have gone wrong?” Ji Ying’s hoarse voice sounded.
“Tsk, I think this old thing found some treasure and wants to keep it all for herself,”
Blood Ghost let out a cold laugh, musing, “After all, they are two Black Moon Saintesses, and the other two are with the Saintesses. Their backgrounds are probably not ordinary. They might be geniuses from some power faction, so they wouldn’t be lacking in treasures.”
“Forget it, let her have it all.”
Fen Cheng’s majestic golden eyes looked down, his indifferent voice coming from the roaring magma, “This mission is to obtain the Sumeru King Order. As long as we get the King’s Order, we can let her have all other benefits.”
Of course, the main reason was that the four of them were currently fully focused on maintaining the concealment barrier and couldn’t move. If they moved even slightly and lost focus, this barrier concealing the divine light would instantly collapse.
Exposing this place’s anomaly.
Now, they could only watch Saint Pastor Angi hoard the spoils.
“Hey, Your Excellency Saint Pastor, you can have everything else, but remember to leave Cha Nai Xue for me,” Leng Xiu shouted vociferously into the church from mid-air.
On this mission, he had made two mistakes. The first was losing 101 Obsidian stones that he was supposed to transport back to headquarters.
The second was inexplicably losing a Divine Faith Fruit.
He gained no benefits and instead stirred up trouble.
Fortunately, Cha Nai Xue was the owner of the Nai Luo Spirit Artifact. Capturing this Black Moon pig would be enough for him to make up for today’s losses.
Inside the safe house.
“Are you toying with me?” The gray-robed old man’s tone was chilling, but there was no killing intent. Obviously, he was trying his best to regain his composure, and for Hethwe, he was willing to hear what Xia Feng had to say.
Xia Feng smiled slightly, “Your Excellency said that only the Seed of Fire can extend the lifespan of heroic spirits. But in reality, your Spirit Artifact, the Spirit Beast Ring, can also extend the lifespan of heroic spirits, can’t it?”
“Oh?” Angi’s dried and wrinkled face was hidden in the darkness, her voice hoarse, “You mean your Spirit Artifact also has this ability?”
“No.”
“?!”
“Although it cannot extend the lifespan of heroic spirits, it can optimize your Spirit Artifact, allowing the lifespan-extending ability of the Spirit Beast Ring to reach a higher level. Saint Pastor, you understand what I mean, right?” Xia Feng said with a smile, his voice calm. Optimize Spirit Artifacts? Saint Pastor Angi’s aged and cloudy eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.
She had actually seen several Spirit Artifacts that could strengthen others’ Spirit Artifacts, but they had extremely strict limitations. Not only was their scope of use limited, but the amplification was also unsatisfactory.
It was not a particularly rare Spirit Artifact ability.
Generally speaking, an amplification of 10% would be considered a very good effect.
This would add about thirty days to Hethwe’s one-year lifespan. Although it was negligible, even one more day was good.
Thinking of this, Angi narrowed her eyes, “If you truly possess a strengthening-type Spirit Artifact for heroic spirits, I might spare your life. But the other three must die.”
Xia Feng shook his head, “Why doesn’t Saint Pastor Angi first experience the effect of the strengthening before making a decision?”
Seeing that he was stalling for time and possibly plotting something, Saint Pastor Angi didn’t care and nodded.
In the face of absolute strength, any clever trickery was useless.
She would first see the specific amplification of this person’s Spirit Artifact. If it was ridiculously low, even less than 1%, then there would be no need to keep him alive.
!
While contemplating, she had a thought, and the blue bracelet on her wrist detached itself, flying straight to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng’s expression was calm as he raised his hand and grasped the bracelet.
His optimization ability, besides optimizing himself, had always been able to optimize others’ Spirit Artifacts. He had previously helped Cha Nai Xue and Mushroom optimize theirs, and after that, he had rarely used it. Both women’s Spirit Artifact abilities had seen significant amplification.
The only pity was that, like replication, it couldn’t optimize Alpha-class Spirit Artifacts.
Otherwise, Miss Mu would have begged him.
Furthermore, when optimizing others, he couldn’t do it without limit like when optimizing himself.
The number of Spirit Artifacts he could optimize for others was limited by his own Spirit Rank.
Now that he was a sixth-rank Venerable, he had six optimization slots.
In fact, when he replicated the Spirit Beast Ring just now, he had already performed an optimization and knew the approximate amplification.
However, the effect of optimizing himself and optimizing others was different.
Xia Feng glanced at Saint Pastor Angi, “Saint Pastor Angi, the specific direction of optimization will be based on your inner will. So please concentrate your attention, make your inner will more specific and stronger, and the effect might be better.”
The [Clone·Spirit Beast Ring] was strengthened according to his inner will, and the optimization for time had not reached its limit.
To achieve the best possible effect in terms of extending lifespan, Saint Pastor Angi herself needed to put in effort.
Angi was somewhat surprised by Xia Feng’s reminder; she could customize the strengthening direction? This was something she hadn’t encountered before.
Her eyes showed slight surprise, but then quickly turned cold and indifferent. As instructed, she quickly concentrated her attention.
After preparing herself, she nodded at Xia Feng.
The blue bracelet suspended in mid-air was surrounded by specks of light gold fragments that appeared out of thin air. They quickly converged, enveloped, and merged into the bracelet. With a flash of obsidian light, the optimization was completed.
The optimization process was unremarkable, but as torrents of information surged into Saint Pastor Angi’s mind,
her cold and creepy aged face showed a gradual change in expression.
