Chapter 904: Increase the Strength
Chapter 905: Time-Quantity Express, Mission Guaranteed to Succeed
“Increase the strength?”
“Increase what strength?”
Just as Huang Zhaoyue was wondering, Xia Feng rerouted his attention to Fortune and Disaster Guarding Balance.
[Accumulated Fortune: 31.22%]
“Little Carp, use Fortune’s Blessing, double it!”
“Yes!” Yue Hongli understood his intention and a thought crossed her mind.
[Fortune Designation: Yue Hongli’s use of Disaster’s Lair will double the degree of misfortune!]
[Fortune Consumed: 31.22%!]
The accumulated fortune instantly dropped to zero. At the same time, Xia Feng inexplicably felt a palpitation. That clear sense of impending disaster felt like a scythe wielded by Death, silently resting on the back of his neck, dripping blood. However, he stiffly looked around, but found no anomalies.
This method of using fortune to actively incur misfortune was told to him by Yue Hongli just now. Since misfortune could accumulate fortune, doubling the misfortune would naturally double the accumulation of fortune. As for how to double the misfortune? It was naturally done by wishing with fortune.
“Wait.” Huang Zhaoyue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, her voice low and indifferent, concise and comprehensive.
The generals were stunned. Wait? Wait for what? Ni Yan asked in surprise, “Your Highness, do you have a countermeasure?”
“…” Huang Zhaoyue nodded faintly. She had no countermeasure, but it didn’t matter. She would just pretend she did.
Could this Highness actually have a way? Zhuohua was delighted and was about to ask in confusion when a piercing light suddenly lit up out of thin air in front of the warship.
It was that star! The law chains around the star condensed into substance and shattered inch by inch. A clock-shaped formation above the blazing sun then developed cracks. The expressions of the Ten Beast Lords all changed.
“Keiya! What’s going on?” Yin Hu appeared beside the python-robed young man, his tone anxious and gloomy.
The young man remained unhurried, shaking his head indifferently, “The Saint Path Ritual requires the simultaneous execution in the Reality, Grey, and Astral Realms. Any slight deviation can easily cause abnormal changes in the laws, leading to the misplacement of the Saint Star and triggering a more powerful Time-Quantity Tide.”
“Perhaps the one in charge of the Saint Path Ritual in the Astral Realm encountered some trouble, but it’s fine. This is a normal phenomenon, and the ritual will be repaired soon.”
As he spoke, the Beast Lords sensed something and suddenly turned around. They saw multicolored light bursting around the warship trapped in the center of the time membrane, and the time membrane retracted in an instant! Space returned to void and silence.
“…” The Beast Lords looked at each other. They could escape from this? They were actually able to use the Time-Quantity Tide again for spatial teleportation. Their luck was truly something else. After all, even with a Time-Quantity Tide, teleportation wasn’t guaranteed. Moreover, the warship was within the time membrane, and it was more likely to be torn to shreds by the spatial-temporal forces within it.
“The Sin Legion’s Tree of Sin has numerous abilities. It’s not unusual to have one or two Sin Leaves that can resist the erosion of spatial-temporal forces,” Keiya shook his head. “Let these imperial people escape, we still have important matters—”
As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped. Because at some point, in the very center of the stellar clock, a warship had appeared. Although the warship was heavily torn and tattered, the emblem of the blazing sun above the sin tree on its side was unmistakably a Sin Legion warship! As the warship leaped out of space, the energy of the surrounding formation automatically converged, quickly enveloping the warship, and divine golden light shot up into the sky!
“Buzz—!!”
“???” The Beast Lords’ faces changed again. “Quick!! Block the formation!” A series of urgent cold shouts erupted. An old man wearing a green robe appeared at the twelve o’clock position of the clock, slamming his bamboo staff onto the ground. The other Beast Lords successively appeared at their respective clock positions, their expressions grave. It was obvious they were shocked again by this sudden turn of events.
“The Demon God is unknown and hiding in which of the three realms. Now the Saint Star is the only key to exterminating the Demon God. We absolutely cannot activate the Saint Star prematurely! Otherwise, it will alert the Demon God!” The old man shouted his admonitions to the Beast Lords in his mind.
“But the teleportation ritual of the Saint Path Ritual has already started and cannot be stopped!” Keiya said in a deep voice. The old man quickly made a decision and shouted, “Change the teleportation destination and send them onto the island!”
Keiya frowned, “But Burning Heaven Island has never had outsiders…”
“Circumstances dictate action. Moreover, the Goddess Hall is here to oversee it. I believe they will not let these imperial people leave the island!”
“Fine…” Keiya was helpless. He had no time to ponder further and could only agree to this plan. After all, if these imperial people were sent to the Demon God, and the Demon God guessed that multiple forces were planning to join hands to exterminate Him, their plan would be ruined. It was better to send the imperial people to Burning Heaven Island. Besides, with their strength, they wouldn’t be able to escape once they entered the island.
As the world spun, Xia Feng’s vision shattered like glass. Colorful fluids overflowed from countless cracks, stinging his eyes and causing his soul to ache. Dimly, he saw countless shattered mirrors with numerous Sin Legion warships being cleaved in half by a single blade in the Spacetime Turbulence. A few scattered individuals fell out of the warships, plummeting from the clouds toward the land, like meteors from beyond the universe, tearing through the sky.
On the land, there was a golden, shimmering forest. In the center of the forest was a green lake, resembling the Eye of the Land, its surface smooth as glass.
“Thump—!” By the time Xia Feng saw clearly before him, he could no longer control his momentum and charged directly into the center of the lake, crashing through the water in a flash of sparks and lightning. Gurgling water flowed into his nose and mouth, bringing a refreshing coolness. Xia Feng finally woke up completely.
[Accumulated Fortune: 74.44%]
“Hiss—!” Damn it, to what extent of misfortune did he have to fall to make his fortune value soar to this level?? And this number was too unlucky!
As he pondered, he turned to jump out of the water when his Bronze Eye of Deconstruction quickly detected a subtle anomaly in the space on the shore, as if a portal was cracking open. Seeing this, he quickly activated Myriad Manifestations and transformed into a water droplet.
Two women who looked identical emerged from the spatial portal on the shore. One was wearing a martial arts uniform, with a long sword at her hip. Her expression was rather cold as she looked up at the sky in confusion, “The island realm seems to be experiencing some anomalies.”
The other, a tall woman with pink wavy hair, her eyes slightly upturned and adorned with a few butterfly marks, her melon seed face exuding more charm. However, she had a lollipop in her red lips, her cheeks puffed out, and she mumbled, “Received a message from Keiya. Those are people from the Sin Legion. It’s fine, someone will handle it. Let’s collect the ‘Day Water’ first.”
The sword-wielding woman nodded indifferently and walked directly to the edge of the lake, inserting the tip of her long sword into the water. Instantly, the entire lake began to stir, and all the water rapidly converged towards the sword tip, flowing into the sword body.
“?!!!” Xia Feng was swept up by the surrounding water flow and also surged towards the long sword.
[Accumulated Fortune: 84.44%]
Damn it! Xia Feng, terrified, quickly shut down both Disaster’s Lair and Fortune’s Blessing, but it was too late. He was directly sucked into the sword body, his vision turning pitch black.
“Let’s go. It’s about time. Let’s send this Day Water to the Goddess.” In the darkness, Xia Feng heard the words “Goddess,” confirming his vague guess, and his heart sank.
