Chapter 202: Sacred and Great
The starry sky descended, and everyone looked up in anticipation.
Suddenly, a faint humanoid light cluster, distinguishable only by its blurry outline, lit up in the sky. A vast divine pressure spread out instantly, and the expressions of the people in the plaza turned excited as they all knelt in reverence.
“Goddess!”
“It’s really the Goddess!!”
The believers cried out in worship, filled with both awe and excitement.
Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at the sky, a question in his heart: could the Black Moon Goddess descend to the mortal world in her current state?
Zorav also knelt and prostrated himself, but a faint smile played on his bowed face.
The divine grace of “Moon Phase False God Descent” was extremely effective; even a Venerable might not be able to discern the deception. These ignorant masses, who had never seen the world, certainly wouldn’t notice anything amiss.
As he pondered this, his mind stirred, and the majestic, indifferent divine voice of the Black Moon Goddess echoed through the heavens and earth:
“Burning Heaven heretic, the heretic Xia Feng.”
“Die—”
The divine pronouncement of death faded, and under Zorav’s control, a bolt of purple lightning shot down from the sky directly towards the tribunal, like a gleaming executioner’s axe, carrying the terrifying aura of death.
However, the scene of Xia Feng’s soul being shattered, as anticipated, did not occur. Zorav paused, looking up in astonishment.
Just as the lightning was about to strike Xia Feng’s brow, it suddenly dispersed! The phantom image of the Goddess in the vast starry sky also abruptly disintegrated.
At the same time, the illusory River of Stars in the sky suddenly became a bit more real, as if it were a nebula within reach. It was like a beautiful painting meticulously crafted by a master artist, captivating and impossible to look away from.
Zorav’s expression changed, and he suddenly clutched his chest, which felt a sharp pain: “This is…”
He sensed the power of faith he had painstakingly accumulated over the years rapidly draining away, faster and faster!
“No…” Zorav parted his lips slightly, anxiously covering his chest, trying to stop the loss of faith power, but it was in vain.
He understood the situation: the Black Moon Goddess was using him to forcibly open the channel between the Moon Phase space and the real world.
He was completely bewildered. What was the Goddess doing? He had only used the Moon Phase slightly; he hadn’t intended to open the Moon Phase space! The power of faith was wasted like this; Zorav felt a pain in his heart.
Finally, two streams of starlight descended from the sky, like two hanging rivers of divinity, enveloping both Xia Feng and Zorav simultaneously.
However, even though he didn’t know what the Black Moon Goddess intended to do, divine beings weren’t brainless and likely wouldn’t act recklessly, wasting faith power. He guessed there must be a very important matter, which was why he was summoned. With this thought, Zorav felt a little better. Few in the Black Moon Holy See were personally summoned by the Black Moon Goddess. Perhaps today was Zorav’s opportunity to ascend to the heavens.
“What the hell?”
When the Guiding Divine Light descended again, Xia Feng was a bit baffled. This divine light was the same as when he was in Miracle Star River. Once enveloped, it was impossible to escape, and one could only be guided to a designated location by the starlight. He could sense that the destination this time was the Moon Phase space!
Two seconds after the Guiding Divine Light appeared, it gradually faded. The crowd in the plaza was equally confused. What was going on? Wasn’t the Black Moon Goddess supposed to judge Xia Feng? Why was he being led into the Astral Realm? The crowd exchanged glances. Could it be that the Eternal Day Holy Son’s sins were too grave, requiring him to be taken into the divine realm for a private trial?
Moon Phase Space. This place was as it had always been.
A dark golden crescent moon hung in the dark world, with layers of sacred golden stairs extending to the high heavens. At the end of the divine stairs, in the center of the crescent moon, sat a mysterious woman whose divine body was covered in golden liquid.
Sensing the strong aura of the Holy Solution again, Xia Feng’s gaze was inevitably drawn to it.
This was Zorav’s first time in the Moon Phase space. He looked up and saw the supreme deity at the end of the divine stairs. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and prostrated himself respectfully: “Goddess!”
The Goddess’s face was obscured by a halo, making her features indistinguishable. However, the black-gold crescent moon mark on her brow dipped slightly. Zorav could feel the Goddess’s divine eyes glance at him indifferently. However, she quickly passed him over and looked at Xia Feng, who was standing to the side.
The Black Moon Goddess felt Xia Feng’s direct gaze, and some unpleasant memories and tactile sensations from yesterday resurfaced, causing a wave of discomfort in her chest. The crescent moon mark on her brow flickered rapidly. Her expression was indifferent, and her surging killing intent rose within her. However, she did not act immediately, as she still needed a little more time to perfectly suppress the contamination and allocate enough divine power to severely punish that evil human.
Facing the Black Moon Goddess’s cold gaze, a terrifying killing intent as sharp as the bone-chilling wind emanated, a God-tier pressure that Xia Feng was completely unable to resist. He narrowed his black eyes and looked up, meeting the Goddess’s invisible gaze calmly. Although he felt natural fear and dread towards the divine being, he couldn’t let his spirit falter!
“Goddess, what important matter requires me to be summoned?” Zorav had not noticed the Black Moon Goddess’s unusual state. He only wanted to know if something significant was happening, or if there were any secret matters for him, an excellent believer, to handle. The matter of judging Xia Feng was no longer important, as Xia Feng’s entry into this space meant certain death. Let the inexperienced youngster live a few more minutes, he thought, to experience the Goddess’s sacredness and greatness.
However, receiving no response from the Goddess after a long pause, Zorav looked up in confusion: “Goddess?”
Hearing the call, the Black Moon Goddess suppressed the faint, persistent discomfort in her chest and glanced at Zorav: “I remember you, Zorav, Chief Judge of District 51 of the Empire?”
“Yes.” Zorav was surprised that the Goddess knew him. He nodded respectfully and asked again in an excited, deep voice, “What important matter requires me to be summoned, Goddess?”
“Well, it’s not a major matter. Because the human ant beside you has committed a heinous sin, I need to deal with him personally! Therefore, I require your faith power to assist.” The Black Moon Goddess hadn’t summoned Zorav out of necessity, but rather because Zorav, as the initiator of the divine grace “Moon Phase,” was essential for anyone else to enter.
Zorav: “…?!!” What sort of thing is this? Your purpose for opening the Moon Phase space was THIS? THIS?! Zorav was stunned, and then only four words came to his mind: foolish Goddess! Has this brainless Goddess been driven insane by the contamination? Doesn’t she know how difficult it is to accumulate faith power! To deal with an individual human, she personally summons them to the Moon Phase space?! Just how terrifying a sin must Xia Feng have committed!
Zorav was so angry his molars threatened to grind to dust. But it’s fine! It’s fine!! He looked at Xia Feng in the distance. At least he could deal with this guy, and convicting him would be acceptable!
At this very moment, the Black Moon Goddess finally suppressed the contamination. She raised her gaze slightly and slowly stood up. Her indifferent, cold female divine voice pierced into Xia Feng’s mind. While incredibly majestic, it carried a bone-chilling, spectral laugh, making his hair stand on end subconsciously: “Human, I said, I would make you die without a burial place!”
Seeing that there were no more unexpected turns or opportunities, Xia Feng knew he could no longer hold back. Gritting his teeth, he moved his mind. Instantly, the “Dragon God True Name” imprinted in his soul flared with brilliant light, illuminating his soul!
The computer crashed again, so it was posted a bit late.
