Chapter 914: Demon God Minions
Seeing Mu Qingtong’s silence, Xia Feng could only survey the Saint Path Ritual as he could not help it.
He vaguely understood that these star maps constructed from Time Soil particles were a clock, with a ticking second hand.
It was estimated that the ritual would be successful when the hour, minute, and second hands overlapped at due north!
“Little Carp, can you understand how this Saint Path Ritual works? How can it be destroyed?”
After a pause in his heart, as if observing, a woman’s serious explanation sounded two seconds later, “Saint Tri-Law. This kind of formation basically requires three Spacetime points to be activated simultaneously. To destroy it, you naturally need to destroy three Spacetime points simultaneously. However, it is merely a God Relic and has significant flaws, so destroying any two formation Spacetime points simultaneously will completely dispel the ritual.”
Listening to Yue Hongli’s explanation, Xia Feng fell into contemplation.
Shi Li had previously mentioned that the Saint Path Ritual was carried out simultaneously in the Star, Gray, and Manifest Realms.
It was still unknown who was leading the ritual in the Star Realm.
However, the leader in the Gray Realm was most likely the head of the Saint Star Court, Zhou Yin.
Once the Saint Path Rituals in the three realms were formed simultaneously and reached the same frequency, they could launch a Saint Star Strike at a designated Spacetime point, which was unavoidable.
That is to say, to destroy the Saint Path Ritual, the Manifest and Gray Realms needed to remove the Time Soil from it simultaneously.
But the problem now was that even if Miss Mu entered the core of the Saint Path Ritual in the Gray Realm, she would still be unable to remove the Time Soil, just like him.
Lost in thought, Xia Feng’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Was Miss Mu really doomed?
Although misfortune lingers, Miss Mu was the origin of the Sirius constellation in the prophecy of world destruction and should not die.
However, the source of prophecies was unknown, and who knew if they were true or not.
What if the prophecy was a lie, and there was no destined future of world destruction?
The more he thought about it, the more his head ached.
He shook his head, dispelling the杂思 in his heart, and checked the status of the Fortune and Disaster Guarding Balance Authority Fragment.
[Fortune Accumulated: 84.44%]
“Little Carp, if I use the Fortune’s Blessing ability, can I designate Miss Mu Qingtong to survive?” Xia Feng asked doubtfully.
“Yes, but Master, the Fortune and Disaster Authority level is still very low. The fortune that Fortune’s Blessing can influence is also very small. If the target’s death fortune is very large, enough to influence one realm or even all realms, then the possibility of survival that Fortune’s Blessing can increase is extremely slim. Of course, sometimes even a 0.01% increase in probability can change the outcome.”
Extremely slim… Xia Feng pondered. If he really couldn’t destroy the Saint Path Ritual, he could only use his accumulated fortune to bless Miss Mu with luck. Besides that, Miss Mu herself possessed a Fate Stone, and could use it to enter the River of Time for refuge.
After that, he could probably only leave it to fate.
Alas, all of this was ultimately due to Miss Mu and him being too weak.
However, the enemy had underestimated Miss Mu, treating her as at least a True God, and thus directly deployed the Saint Star Time Plate of the Three Saint Star Gods, expending immense manpower and resources to kill Mu Qingtong, this Demon God.
Gray Realm.
This realm did not exist in the form of planets but consisted of two super-continents enveloped in primordial energy flow.
The two continents faced each other, one above and one below, surrounded by three stars, but with no natural satellites. Because of this, except for some special cities, most regions had extreme temperature differences between day and night, making them unsuitable for human survival.
According to the Empire’s calendar, it was almost midnight. Normally, this was the time when extreme cold set in, but the celestial phenomenon tonight was particularly unusual.
The northern and southern stars had both disappeared. However, for the first time, the eastern star violated the celestial laws of the Gray Realm, remaining perpetually above the two continents. Upon closer inspection, one could even see that the eastern star was subtly enlarging.
The surface temperature rose rapidly, reaching the highest value since the formation of the Gray Realm, as if to burn away all evil spirits.
“Zhou Yin, how long are you going to delay this!”
Above the eastern star, where no one could spy, an old man clad in a starlight divine robe looked up, his gaze seeming to pierce through endless time and space, gazing towards the Star Realm.
“If this continues, the celestial anomaly will surely arouse the suspicion of the Demon God. If this so-called Demon God is indeed at the Heavenly God Realm, then all these plans will be in vain!”
The universe was silent for two seconds. The response he received was a childish voice, yet it was not without majesty, “Zhou Yin, you should understand that the basis for my cooperation with you is the formation of ‘Sui Guang’. At this point, there is still no sign of Sui Guang. If there is still no ‘Sui Guang’ within a quarter of an hour, this cooperation must be terminated.”
The divine voice echoed majestically in the silent space above the stars.
The old man raised the hood of his starlight divine robe. His eye sockets were empty, but between his eyebrows was a vertical eye filled with countless stars.
The countless stars suddenly converged, forming a divine star pupil like a glazed jade. The star pupil narrowed slightly.
“Sui Guang is the core spirit material for the result of light-attribute Spirit Robes. You have not cultivated any light-attribute abilities, yet you are set on this item. What is it for? At this point, you should tell this court!”
“It doesn’t hurt to tell you.”
The childish voice suddenly changed its tone, sounding like a pure young child, innocent and harmless, “Besides being a result spirit material, Sui Guang is also a key, which can be used to open a [door].”
“A door?”
“That’s right, the things inside the door are very important to me~”
As he said this, as if sensing something, the childish voice paused.
The innocent tone turned majestic and grand, like a saint, “Sui Guang has been born, begin.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yin’s star pupils looked down. Indeed, the Time Soil in the core of the star began to vaporize into mist, emitting wisps of soft light.
This was another function of the Saint Star Time Plate: Time Soil could potentially ‘degenerate’ into Sui Guang during the ritual process.
This substance was as rare as Time Soil, and was almost an essential spirit material for all light-attribute Spirit Robe results.
“Buzz!” But at this moment, on a certain part of the star’s surface, space suddenly twisted, and a dark purplish shadowy figure appeared.
It was a mysterious person wearing a black robe and a pure black mask, exuding a distinct aura of the Demon race, with purple mist swirling around.
Zhou Yin’s star pupils narrowed slightly. It seemed the Demon God had not only discovered the celestial anomaly but also the plan targeting them.
But the Demon God had only sent this person to stop the Saint Path Ritual?
It was just a minion at the Venerable One Realm.
To have such a minion destroy the ritual? It was simply ridiculous.
The moment the minion appeared, it was engulfed by the star’s energy.
However, surprisingly, the minion did not die but merged into the star along with the star’s energy.
Not long after, it twinkled into the star’s core.
It seemed to possess a Spirit Robe related to stars, somewhat like the Blazing Sun Divine Domain?
However, Zhou Yin still couldn’t understand the minion’s intentions. After all, even with the Blazing Sun Divine Domain, without the power of the Light Holder, entering the star’s core would still be futile and would not shake the Saint Path Ritual in the slightest.
