Chapter 700: All Beings Are Chess Pieces, The Three Realms Are The Board
Wisps of purple mist wildly roamed and infiltrated the multi-layered tower walls, like countless newborn snakes entering the blood-red mist.
More and more, more and more.
The Blood Beast Mist Sea surged, but it couldn’t stop them.
This wasn’t because the Blood Beast’s devouring ability was weak and couldn’t devour the purple mist, but rather because the devouring speed couldn’t keep up with the purple mist’s infiltration speed.
Others might not have noticed, but Xia Feng, who was fighting the Red Moon Goddess, sensed it clearly.
As the Red Moon arrived, the majestic purple mist sea that suppressed Black Moon City seemed to come alive, madly rushing towards the tower walls.
If this continued, they wouldn’t last long! Once the purple mist infiltrated and they had no other methods, all of them would perish! Xia Feng’s face gradually turned pale, his brows furrowed.
He had initially thought these purple mists originated from Moro Saint Pastor and were controlled by him.
But now, it seemed it wasn’t Moro, but the Red Moon?
However, Xia Feng clearly remembered that the authority held by the Black Moon and Red Moon was the authority of the night and blood. How could they possess such an unrelated and eerie ability as purple mist?
“Jiang Qiue, do you remember the Red Moon’s authority? Does it have any abilities similar to this mind assimilation?” Xia Feng rapidly asked in his mind.
“A long time ago, before the Black Moon devoured the Red Moon at the Star Position, I clashed with the Red Moon a few times. It truly didn’t seem like a method they could use,” Jiang Qiue recalled. “As for the Black Moon, I’m not too sure.”
The purple mist was released from the Thought Cage Core. The Thought Cage Core was not the Red Moon’s authority, so could it be some kind of Legendary God Relic?
Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes slightly, suddenly recalling something.
There had always been rumors that the Black Moon Goddess was being corrupted. He had also personally witnessed the corrupting evil mist on the Black Moon Goddess in the Miracle Star River before leaving Area 51.
But no one knew who or what was corrupting the Black Moon Goddess, nor what those evil mists were.
Now, Xia Feng vaguely understood. This so-called corruption was the purple mist. The Black Moon Goddess might still be resisting the corruption, but the Red Moon Goddess had already been assimilated by the corruption.
Therefore, the Red Moon began to scheme to make the Black Moon also corrupted and assimilated by the evil mist.
This was also the reason for the sudden internal strife within the Black Moon Holy See.
The Red Moon and Moro were so persistent in corrupting the Saintess not to seize the Main Palace position, but simply to devour the Black Moon’s authority, weaken the Black Moon’s strength, and render the Black Moon powerless to resist the erosion of the evil mist!
After all, as long as they could assimilate the Black Moon’s mind, who held the Main Palace position would no longer be important.
His thoughts turned rapidly, and a moment of enlightenment struck him. Xia Feng felt that while his conjecture might have some discrepancies from the truth, it was likely close.
If this were true, then behind the Red Moon Goddess and Moro Saint Pastor, there must be a Mysterious Existence!
This Mysterious Existence was the mastermind of everything. He used all beings as chess pieces and the three realms as the board, plotting for ten thousand years, manipulating the cosmic chess game. Even Heavenly Gods like the Black Moon were just one of his chess pieces!
At this thought, Xia Feng felt his guess was becoming increasingly outrageous.
However, all these outrageous speculations were based on the assumption that the evil mists corrupting the Black Moon and the purple mists outside originated from the same source.
Xia Feng’s memory of his experience in the Miracle Star River before defecting from Area 51 was actually quite vivid.
After all, his first 100 milliliters of Holy Solution were obtained from the Black Moon Goddess, helping him complete his initial Holy Release.
And at that time, the mist surrounding the Black Moon Goddess was red.
Not purple.
Now, Xia Feng couldn’t determine if these two colored mists originated from the same source.
If they originated from the same source, then his deductions above had some possibility.
If they were not from the same source, then he had misjudged.
But regardless of whether his deductions were correct, the Red Moon’s target now was the Black Moon Goddess.
If possible, Xia Feng was naturally willing to help the Black Moon Goddess, not only because the Black Moon was once a subordinate of the Lord Dragon God, but also because he seemed to have somehow tricked the Black Moon Goddess before.
When he took the Holy Solution back then, he didn’t know that it was used by the Black Moon to resist the erosion of the evil mist. Although 100 milliliters was insignificant to the Black Moon, she was destined to be eroded by the Red Moon anyway.
Of course, the above two points were not the main reasons why Xia Feng wanted to help the Black Moon.
The main reason was that the Lord Dragon God would eventually emerge, and if the Black Moon, a Heavenly God nurtured by the Lord Dragon God, joined the enemy’s side, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Xia Feng felt he had to plan for the Lord Dragon God’s future in advance!
As for how he planned to help the Black Moon deal with the Red Moon.
The enemy included the Red Moon’s Human Embodiment and a Saint Pastor of the Dark Controller Sage level.
If they were to fight head-on, neither he nor Miss Mu, nor the forces outside, could withstand a single blow from these two.
The Red Moon’s Human Embodiment, combined with Moro, could annihilate the entire Black Moon City in an instant. In front of them, they were indeed like ants.
However, when brainstorming earlier, Xia Feng had already had a flash of inspiration and thought of a countermeasure, though it was a bit risky.
“Bang—!!”
Just as the Blood Beast Mist Sea struggled against the purple mist, a world-shattering roar exploded in everyone’s ears, almost shattering their eardrums, leaving a sharp ringing.
Xia Feng looked up at the sky outside the tower, gazing into the distance.
He saw several humanoid phantom figures appearing faintly on the barrier that covered Black Moon City.
Clearly, someone had been attracted by the anomaly in this southernmost region and had rushed to this place.
But the number seemed to be somewhat large.
Moreover, just a cursory glance from Xia Feng revealed three Sacred Realm auras and one extremely terrifying Sage aura!
“Bang—!!!” The terrifying Sage seemed to have done something, and the entire Black Moon City shook violently again, but the pale purple barrier remained intact.
Blocking the outsiders.
Amidst the purple mist, Moro Saint Pastor looked suspiciously towards the direction outside the city, thinking, why so early?
According to his calculations, the divine descent anomaly in the southernmost region would indeed attract attention from all sides, even alarming the Heaven’s Revelation Knights and Wolf Hunting Squad who were searching for Sirius in Area 15.
But they shouldn’t have arrived so quickly.
As he mused, Moro glanced thoughtfully at the dark giant tower in the distance, shook his head helplessly, and regretted that he had overlooked this object.
It should be the emergence of this tower that caused an anomaly comparable to a divine descent, which was sensed by the various forces outside, causing them to arrive a bit earlier than predicted.
However, it wasn’t a big deal.
With just these people, it would be difficult to break through the Black Moon City’s barrier in a short time. This barrier was different from the Spirit Robe barrier when the Lion-riding youth attacked the city.
This barrier was a branch of the purple mist’s ability, with defensive capabilities that could withstand the onslaught of Star Gods. Within the purple mist domain, no one below the level of a God could enter.
Although he didn’t need to concern himself with the reinforcements from outside the city, he indeed needed to finish this quickly now.
Successfully corrupting and assimilating the two Saintesses would be the ultimate victory!
Lost in thought, he no longer bothered to attack the tower and directly transmitted his voice into the black tower, speaking indifferently:
“Xia Feng, there’s no point in continuing this stalemate. We only want those two Saintesses and have no interest in you. Therefore, as long as you hand over the two Saintesses, you and that woman in the black dress can leave unharmed.”
“What do you say?”
