Chapter 109: My Honor
Gongsun Ze was still a bit stunned. He stood on the teleportation platform, looking around in confusion.
The majestic canopy seemed to be the sky of this space, grand and extraordinary. As his gaze shifted down, a giant dragon skull embedded in the center of the trunk, bony and rugged, inexplicably filled him with endless fear, causing his legs to tremble unconsciously.
But what made his eyes light up was that under the skeletal dragon, a woman sat on a divine throne with her eyes closed. Her cloud-grey soft hair cascaded down over her starry skirt, her face half captivating and half demonic.
“What on earth is this?” Gongsun Ze felt both fear and excitement. He swallowed and continued to look around, only to find that Anubi the Nightmare God had vanished.
“Lord Anubi?” he called out in his heart but received no response.
“Forget it, doesn’t matter.” He turned his head and stared intently at Xia Feng by the divine throne, grinning, “I’ll deal with you idiot first, and this mysterious space will be mine!”
With that, he stepped forward and rushed directly towards the divine throne—
*Plop!*
The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground. His expression filled with inexplicable terror as he scrambled backward.
Crawling back to the teleportation platform, his eye sockets bled. He looked back in fear. The woman with the dragon tail under her starry skirt still sat with her eyes closed. Xia Feng, carrying Mu Qingtong and the others, placed them on the ground, all leaning against the divine throne.
“What happened?” Gongsun Ze felt both fear and anger. Within a ten-meter radius around the divine throne, there was an exceptionally terrifying Calamity Force Field, a domain even more terrifying than Anubi the Nightmare God.
He had a chilling intuition that if he had reacted half a second slower just now, his brain would have exploded, and he would have turned to ash!
But why could these four people enter? His gaze fixated on Xia Feng with anger.
He understood that the three women’s Spiritual Sense, Spirit Pressure, and Spirit Artifacts were sealed, making them like dead people who could enter, but how did this brat Xia Feng manage it?
“Human brat, you’ve brought too many people in?” Suddenly, a mature woman’s voice chuckled.
Gongsun Ze’s head snapped up. He noticed a black crow perched on a distant tree branch, its vertical pupils glowing faintly.
“Ran into some trouble.”
“Heh~ This isn’t just ‘some trouble’,” the black crow rolled her eyes. “The one in hiding, come out. Stop lurking.”
“…”
“Hmm?” The black crow’s vertical pupils narrowed, and her tone suddenly turned cold. “I told you to come out, didn’t you hear me?”
*Tap—*
The space rippled, and a giant figure covered in yellow fur stepped out of the void, fully ten meters tall. Its body, wreathed in black flames, resembled a human’s, but its neck was topped with a single-horned lion’s head, eight blood-red eyes arranged in two rows beneath the horn.
The Eight-Eyed Nightmare God, who had stepped onto the Divine Steps. The moment He appeared, both Xia Feng and Gongsun Ze felt a terrifying, overwhelming pressure spread out, making it difficult to breathe.
“Lord Heavenly God Crow, I merely stumbled into this realm by accident. I have no ill intentions,” Anubi lowered his head.
The Crow Heavenly God’s dark green vertical pupils stared faintly at the giant. “Who are you?”
“Lord Heavenly God Crow, my name is Anubi, the Eight-Eyed Calamity Fiend,” the giant said respectfully and in a deep voice. “I only reached the Divine Steps a thousand years ago. Perhaps the Heavenly God doesn’t remember, but ten thousand years ago, you poked out one of my eyes.”
“Oh? So you’ve come for revenge?”
“No, no—” the giant’s eight eyes widened simultaneously, and he quickly lowered his head, straightening his posture. “To have my eye poked out by the Heavenly God is my honor!”
Xia Feng: “…”
Gongsun Ze looked at the giant with a strange expression, never expecting this side to Lord Anubi.
But then he reacted, a sense of dread washing over him. If Lord Anubi couldn’t defeat this black crow, wouldn’t he die here?
Just as Xia Feng was watching the scene with amusement, Ms. Crow’s urgent voice suddenly echoed in his heart: “The act can’t go on. Quickly think of a way to make this stupid lion scram.”
“????” Xia Feng looked expressionlessly at the black crow on the branch.
The Crow Heavenly God’s vertical pupils remained indifferent, majestically looking down at the giant.
“Damn it,” Xia Feng wanted to curse. His voice transmitted mentally, “Didn’t you poke out one of its eyes? You can’t beat it?”
“Nonsense, didn’t I say that was ten thousand years ago~” the mature voice snorted unhappily. “Besides, if I could beat it, would I keep getting threatened by you, brat?” *Good heavens, so you really are just a weakling!* Xia Feng thought helplessly, subconsciously glancing at Miss Evil Dragon beside him.
“However, it’s not a big deal, really.”
The black crow’s voice sounded again. “Even if He discovers me, He can’t do much. This is a Place of Seal. He can’t kill me. Well, at most, you might never be able to leave the Place of Seal~ Because the moment you leave, He’ll kill you~”
At this point, the black crow paused, sounding slightly excited. “Hey? Thinking about it this way, it’s not bad. You can devour Calamity Force here every day, huh?”
“…”
Xia Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Stinky crow, as expected, I can’t rely on you. Fortunately, I have a backup plan!”
“Backup, plan?”
The black crow paused, then seemed to realize something. “You want to awaken Lord Di Si? Did you get the Spirit Awakening Wood?”
“Naturally not.”
“Then what other plan can you have?” the black crow said dismissively.
!
Xia Feng’s gaze fell on the teleportation array in the distance. His black pupils narrowed slightly, and he mentally kept track of time. The Spirit Awakening… should be arriving soon.
“Lord Heavenly God Crow?” the giant raised his head, his gaze filled with doubt. The black crow had been silent for a long time, her vertical pupils glowing faintly as if deep in thought.
But what kind of problem required such a long deliberation? He suddenly sensed something wasn’t right.
There were no divine fluctuations emanating from the Crow Heavenly God. This might be intentional concealment, but the Crow Heavenly God had never been a low-key deity.
Therefore, only one possibility remained: this crow, Crow Heavenly, was actually useless!
Anubi, realizing this, his eight pupils flickered, and his gaze became increasingly strange. “So that’s how it is.”
He straightened his bowed back and gave a cold laugh. “You almost fooled me, Crow Heavenly God. You actually lost your Divine Steps long ago!”
“…”
The black crow’s vertical pupils blinked slightly. Suddenly, her wings flapped, and her small body disappeared with a “bang,” then reappeared with a “bang” above Xia Feng’s head. Her bird claws stepped on Xia Feng’s shoulder.
She tilted her bird head up, her vertical pupils indifferent. “What? Want revenge? Come in if you dare?”
Xia Feng: “…”
Gongsun Ze was overjoyed by the changing situation. “Good heavens, so this crow was faking it.”
He turned and asked, “Lord Anubi, is there a way to kill them?”
“I can’t touch this crow,” the giant shook his head. His eight pupils shifted, looking indifferently at Xia Feng. “But this ant can’t stay in the Dragon God’s domain forever. We just need to wait for him to come out.”
Xia Feng felt a strong sense of malice.
Just then, the space suddenly distorted strangely, and invisible waves buzzed and spread.
Before everyone could react, a sacred and clear celestial song swept through the world.
Anubi’s eight pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked around. “Spirit Awakening has also entered…”
He couldn’t help but look at the divine throne. The Dragon God’s eyelids twitched upon hearing the song, as if she were about to open them at any moment, but in the end, she returned to calmness.
