Chapter 810: This King wants you all to die!!
As Xia Feng was assessing the state of everyone’s spirit artifacts and secretly copying Jin Shiyin’s spirit artifact, Ms. Mi suddenly asked, “Speaking of which, Right Wing Your Excellency, does your spirit artifact’s ability allow you to borrow other people’s spirit artifacts?”
Uphiel was startled and frowned. “It’s common knowledge that even if I borrow a spirit artifact, I must follow its laws and cannot go beyond 100 kilometers from it.”
Uphiel’s spirit artifact ability was indeed the most publicly known information among the nine people present. After all, he had borrowed spirit artifacts from many powerful individuals from various factions, and their strengths and weaknesses had long been public information for the major super-powers. This was also why, in the first round, even though they knew he could borrow spirit artifacts, they hadn’t suspected him.
“Normally, that’s true,” Ms. Mi said, her voice carrying a chilling tone. “But Right Wing Your Excellency, you have attained the B-class Dao Fruit.”
Spirit robes could bear fruit, and spirit artifacts could also bear fruit. Similarly, after bearing fruit, the spirit artifact’s abilities could be greatly enhanced. The information that various factions had about Uphiel’s spirit artifact was already hundreds of years old. Now, Uphiel had made his spirit artifact into a fruit position, possibly even the strongest Fifth Fruit Position. The so-called Fifth Fruit Position was the last fruit position required when ascending from Venerable Four to Venerable Five (Sacred Realm), and its effect was often several times better than the previous four. Therefore, as long as a Venerable possessed a spirit artifact, they would choose to make it their Sacred Realm fruit position to greatly optimize it, provided resources and lifespan allowed. Thus, it was hard not to suspect that Uphiel’s evolved spirit artifact possessed some strange capabilities.
Seeing all eight pairs of eyes fixed on him, with some even harboring faint killing intent, Uphiel cursed inwardly and said coldly, “You bunch of fools! If it were really me, would I dare to accompany you to this place and voluntarily hand over the information about my spirit artifact?!”
As times changed, Xia Feng didn’t expect that after going in circles, this birdman was being suspected again. However, it was a shame that Xia Feng had already fused and upgraded the birdman’s spirit artifact to ‘A·Undead Chart’, so he couldn’t copy it again. Of course, even if he couldn’t copy it, he could still remove the false and preserve the true, thereby obtaining all the information about his spirit artifact transformed into a Dao Fruit. However, this would alert Uphiel and make him suspicious, possibly even revealing the matter, so it wasn’t the right time yet.
Therefore, without the critical information, Xia Feng couldn’t determine if Uphiel was the Red King. Currently, his list of Red King candidates had two names. First, Jin Yangtian, due to the strange information about ‘fictional state’. Second, Uphiel, due to ‘spirit artifact transformed into Dao Fruit’. At any time, anyone could ‘guess the Red King’. If they guessed correctly in the first round, they would receive a reward of 100 Ash Stones in the second round’s settlement. If they guessed correctly in the second round, they would receive 80 Ash Stones in the third round’s settlement, and so on. This was limited to one opportunity. Therefore, if possible, it was best to guess correctly in the current round. Otherwise, by the third round, the reward would be almost halved. But who could it be? Xia Feng fell into a dilemma.
“Words are not proof,” Zong Yue grinned, his eyes full of bloody killing intent and fighting spirit. “Kill you, and all the truth will be known!”
As he spoke, he strode forward step by step, with blazing thunder surging under his feet. The terrifying aura of the Peak Sacred Realm erupted, obscuring the sky.
“Buzz—” The Six-winged Angel’s expression instantly turned grim. “If you really think it’s me, you’ll be falling into the trap of the person in the dark! How could I—”
He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, his golden eyes reflecting something, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashing in their depths. He uttered with a light question, “Hmm?”
“I see!” He seemed to have understood something, a mocking cold laugh emerging from the corner of his lips. Just as he was about to say something—
“Buzz—!” Accompanied by an ear-splitting roar, the boundless sea of molten lava below suddenly erupted with terrifying divine radiance. Like a blade tearing apart heaven and earth, a colossal pillar of explosive energy shot up into the sky.
Rumble!! The golden pillar connected heaven and sea, and laws sang in unison. Everyone was blown away by the sudden energy fluctuation, sent flying tens of thousands of meters in different directions. The sea of molten lava, tens of thousands of meters across, vanished, leaving behind a sudden giant void.
As Xia Feng was sent flying backward, the surrounding scenery rapidly blurred past him. He felt the roaring thunder and hot wind in his ears and looked up in astonishment. He saw lightning snakes darting within the sky-piercing pillar of light. In the center, a graceful humanoid figure of light flow vaguely appeared.
The figure slowly walked out. The light flow started from its toes, gradually forming skin, rising up the lower legs, and forming a hem of profound black color. The robe flowed with divine dark cloud patterns, resembling an ancient person from the near past, with a ancient-style great cloak surrounded by lightning snakes. A golden phoenix tail hairpin adorned the collar, and her black hair was tied high in a cloud bun. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as knives, overlooking the realm where sky and sea met, possessing an exceptionally noble bearing. Although not like an emperor, the killing intent revealed in her eyes made her more like a divine general who had fought on battlefields for ten thousand years.
“Heng Huo?!” Upon this person’s appearance, Xia Feng sensed the powerful Calamity Force hidden within her and instantly understood her identity: Heng! Yue Hongli’s first master. However, judging by her state, it wasn’t her true form, but a wisp of a powerful remnant spirit filled with endless resentment. It was no wonder that Authority Fragment had escaped on its own, seemingly possessing sentience. It turned out that it wasn’t the fragment that had gained sentience, but Heng Huo’s remnant spirit had attached itself to the fragment and had been sealed in the ‘Light Ruins World where time was stagnant’ all these years. Due to the characteristics of the Light Ruins World, her remnant spirit had not dispersed with the passage of time but had survived to this day. However, judging by the woman’s state, she didn’t seem to be in a good condition either.
Her gaze was sharp for only a moment before it dimmed. As she completely fell into a vacant state, she slowly turned her head. Even from a distance, everyone’s hearts tightened. When the black-cloaked woman’s gaze swept over Jin Yangtian, Jin Shiyin, and Tu Lin, her lost and confused eyes suddenly blazed with unfathomable killing intent! Her eye sockets were instantly filled with blood-black mist, her cheeks flushed, and her voice hoarse with surging hatred:
“Shang Jue!”
“Hua Shen!”
“Hehehe~~”
“And, Xia Hou Nian!!”
A mighty yet somber and terrifying divine sound echoed through the heavens and earth, accompanied by laughter. The expressions of all nine people changed uniformly. Even Huang Zhaoyue and Jin Yangtian did not hesitate for a moment and turned to flee!
“This King wants you all to die!!” Her true body has descended!!
Jin Yangtian was the first to vomit blood, and then his figure vanished into a white hole, disappearing without a trace. The black-armored woman, after all, was only a remnant spirit, her strength long gone. She stood there in confusion for a moment, then suddenly looked up, her gaze falling on the remaining people. She locked onto the Spade Person, a bloodthirsty, crazed smile curling up on her lips.
“Hehehe~~”
“What the hell are you doing!?” Xia Feng’s hair stood on end. His sense of crisis was telling him that this crazy woman could directly locate his main body! And kill him too!
