Chapter 946: Sparrow Blood Birth
“Go!”
At the same time, someone on the plaza reacted first, turning back to the crowd and said in a deep voice.
More people instantly snapped out of their fear, scrambling to their feet and fleeing in the opposite direction, tumbling and crawling. Although they knew they most likely couldn’t escape, their survival instincts kicked in, and they scattered without thinking into the increasingly heavy downpour of blood.
The white-coated woman’s wavy blonde hair danced in the wind as she took cover behind the shadow of a tall pillar. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, gazing in the direction of the young man in the wheelchair, a strange light flickering in their depths, betraying a hint of unwillingness.
However, upon seeing that the wheelchair youth who suddenly appeared wasn’t even a Super-tier Spirit Master, she felt her hope drain away. Shaking her head, she didn’t hesitate further and turned to leave. The Sumeru Sacred Order was indeed a divine object and she was extremely covetous of it, but in the end, her life was more important. Compared to completing her goal, she valued her life more. There was no need to risk getting involved in the disputes of these powerful figures. Moreover, Nian Gengcheng was a genuine Sacred Realm existence. Even if his strength had diminished, he was still an almost invincible being on Sparrow King Star. Unless another Sacred Realm entity descended, no one could deal with Nian Gengcheng.
“Bang—! Boom—!!!” Two successive explosions that seemed to come from the sky deafened the ears. The blonde woman’s back instantly burned with pain, her soul trembling. She couldn’t help but turn her head in astonishment, a terrifying scene imprinted in her pupils. The area behind her, which had been shrouded in dark rain a moment ago, was now like the annihilation of a star system, with blinding white light and a terrifying heatwave engulfing and annihilating all spatial matter. Even more bizarrely, this stellar heatwave seemed to have its range intentionally controlled, stopping precisely at her heels.
Time rewound to three seconds ago.
Xia Feng leaned back in his wheelchair, quietly watching the approaching young man in the suit. He had to admit, this Nian Gengcheng was indeed very strong. Judging by the pressure of his Dao Comprehension Domain, he was at least a double-A Sacred Realm. However, Nian Gengcheng, like him, seemed to have his cultivation level suppressed. Although the Sacred Realm’s exclusive Dao Comprehension Domain still existed, his Spirit Pressure was at most at the Venerable One level. Spirit Pressure was related to soul defense, amount of Spirit Particles, and the upper limit of Spirit Robe levels that could be used. Once Spirit Pressure was suppressed, for most Spirit Masters, it would mean a reduction of sixty to seventy percent in defensive capabilities, let alone offensive power.
Because of this, Xia Feng chose to go all out, rapidly constructing the Spirit Particle configuration of the Blazing Sun Divine Domain within his body and unleashing the Light-Star Domain. With his current Spirit Master second-stage Spirit Pressure, he naturally didn’t have many Spirit Particles. However, the B-class Spirit Artifact, the Spirit Ban Coin, stored two portions of his Venerable Three-level Spirit Particle amount, so there was no need to worry about insufficient Spirit Particles. Everything within the scope of the Light-Star Domain would ascend to ‘stellar extreme temperature,’ annihilating all sub-plane spaces. When it reached a certain degree, the domain’s range would become a small star, illuminating the surroundings.
Forming a small star state required a period of time for heating up. The young man in the suit sensed the surrounding space suddenly distorting with rising extreme temperatures and felt something was not right. However, he didn’t pay much attention because he simultaneously discovered that this wheelchair youth was actually… the third young master of the Ke family, Konan! Interesting. The crippled young master actually came to Weiyang Academy. Heh~ What for? To save Uncle Lin Han? Regardless, he would capture this crippled young master first.
However, what puzzled Nian Gengcheng was that the blood-flame rain formed by the A-class Dao Fruit, Bloodflame Sky Curtain, landed on the wheelchair youth’s head, only to retreat back into the sky as if time were reversing. Nian Gengcheng didn’t know that this was the effect of the time-element A-class Spirit Robe, Photon Annihilation.
At the same time, a terrifying stabbing pain that directly attacked his soul made Nian Gengcheng’s face contort in astonishment. He raised his hands and saw his hands, his body, and even his soul turning into dust. He was inexplicably in the center of a star, surrounded by terrifying stellar energy coalescing into rolling liquid waves, silently engulfing him. How could this be?
As the dust burned up to his pale face, he stared in confusion at the wheelchair youth on the distant skyscraper rooftop. The wheelchair youth remained seated in place, unmoved, his deep black eyes staring down like a god, indifferently watching the life and death of an ant. How could this be! In anger and confusion, his memory suffered a gap, and after a moment of bewilderment, he completely turned into dust and vanished.
[Detected replicable Spirit Artifact—]
[Copy successful—]
[A-class Spirit Artifact · Sparrow Blood Birth]
[Borrowing life to die, borrowing life to live]
[Note: This Spirit Artifact is a subordinate Spirit Artifact assimilated by the ‘Authority · Vermilion Bird Divine Mask’. The ‘Vermilion Bird Divine Mask’ has two types of assimilated subordinate Spirit Artifacts: Sparrow Blood Birth and Sparrow Blood Death.]
[Borrow life to live: Within the star systems, if you die, you can borrow life from a living being possessing the ‘Sparrow Blood Death Spirit Artifact’ to be resurrected. The resurrection location can be the original spot, or the location of the living being from whom you borrowed life.]
[Due to the abnormal state of this Spirit Artifact, Remove the false and preserve the true failed—]
[Detected possible Fusion Device— ‘A · Sparrow Blood Birth’ and ‘B · Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor’ are of the same spiritual nature and can undergo fusion—]
[Would you like to fuse?]
A large amount of information flooded his mind. The ability description of Sparrow Blood Birth was somewhat complex. However, Xia Feng quickly realized one thing: Nian Gengcheng wasn’t dead! This guy possessed Sparrow Blood Birth and resurrected elsewhere by borrowing life from someone who owned the ‘Sparrow Blood Death’ Spirit Artifact. As for the person whose life was borrowed, they were probably dead. He was truly impressed, how did so many people have resurrection abilities, and he couldn’t even remove the false and preserve the true! Xia Feng felt a headache coming on.
However, fine, at least he obtained the A-class Spirit Artifact, Sparrow Blood Birth. As for whether to fuse it immediately, he decided to put it aside for now. Perhaps waiting until he obtained ‘Sparrow Blood Death,’ which formed a system with ‘Sparrow Blood Birth,’ would yield better results after fusion. As for the ‘Authority · Vermilion Bird Divine Mask,’ he didn’t know whose ability it was. If its Authority Conversion wasn’t too high, he could try to copy it using the Sumeru Throne to attempt a de-powering.
As for now… Xia Feng’s face gradually turned pale. A bizarre purple rune flickered in his black eyes, quickly converging on his neck to form a strange floral mark.
[Apostle’s Curse]
[You have killed the High Apostle · Nian Gengcheng, and have been cursed by the Year Lord.]
Damn it, as expected, one shouldn’t underestimate any Sacred Realm existence! Also, Nian Gengcheng wasn’t dead, but the curse was still triggered? This ability is somewhat heaven-defying!
[Apostle’s Curse randomly generating—]
Randomly generating? Xia Feng was confused.
[You have obtained the extreme drowsiness negative curse that has not been experienced for tens of thousands of years — Sleep Curse!]
[Will be dispelled in three days—]
As the curse was generated, Xia Feng’s black pupils shrank slightly, and panda-like dark circles instantly appeared under his eyes. Drowsiness washed over him. This feeling of fatigue didn’t just affect his body but also his soul. He felt as if his consciousness had been heavily hammered and scattered. Before he could react, everything went black. His head drooped, and he passed out.
Under the night sky, the stellar energy light had long since dispersed. The black-robed person behind him had vanished like black mist, leaving only the wheelchair youth on the desolate and tranquil rooftop, dozing off under the rain.
