Chapter 230: Strategic Deterrence Weapon Against Hua
As a hum sounded, the deep red tall gate, flickering with spiritual light, was slowly pushed open.
Xia Feng’s eyes widened, his black pupils gazing up curiously.
Reno’s eyes also widened in excitement, his breathing rapid. This incantation was a divine object bestowed upon him by Mother after he discovered the trace of the fire seed.
Although it was very precious, and he was the only adopted son of the Eighth Generation to possess it, consuming it was nothing compared to Mother’s descent.
Moreover, now that the fire seed had been found, and it was on that white-clothed man, once Mother obtained the fire seed from the white-clothed man, his status in the family would likely be unparalleled for this contribution.
*Tap—*
With crystalline red snow feet lightly tapping the void, a mysterious woman in a classic phoenix dress, wearing a half-fox mask, emerged from the deep red tall gate.
The powerful pressure of a high-ranking being descended, and the atmosphere of the entire Cloud Platform space instantly fell silent.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but shudder, a sense of willing submission to the woman in the phoenix dress surging in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
“Hum hum—”
The slender, blood-red blade at his waist trembled. Xia Feng sensed the anomaly in his authority.
[Establishing Empathy—]
“En?”
As the woman in the phoenix dress stepped out of the tall gate, she sensed the presence of the fire seed. But before she could express satisfaction with her subject’s actions, the corner of her lips, which had been lazily hooked in a smile, suddenly stiffened.
Her beautiful, pointed fox eyes beneath the mask shifted, her gaze gravely fixed on the white-clothed man on the ground.
She sensed it.
“Gui?”
The subordinate personality! How could his Lord’s subordinate personality be here? When did she get out? The fox-masked woman had a bad premonition.
As expected, the next moment, a strange sense of spatial displacement washed over her.
[Establishing Empathy—50% 80%]
The speed was astonishing!
The “Spiritual Body Empathy” between the main and subordinate personalities was a prerequisite for absorbing authority. She never expected that the subordinate personality would find the fire seed first and set a trap for her with it!
Damn it!
“Mother!” Reno suppressed his excitement and knelt on one knee respectfully. Amidst his calm smile, there was unconcealable pride and a desire for credit. “The fire seed has been found, and it’s in that man’s hands!”
“.”
The woman in the phoenix dress no longer had the time to kill this brainless unfilial son. Her indifferent gaze turned to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng’s eyes widened. Before he could even think, a murderous intent that made his entire body tremble with fear rushed into his soul. *Bang—*
His body exploded into blood light, dying instantly.
In less than a millisecond, Xia Feng didn’t even see how he died before entering the Nirvana state of the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor, gaining a bird’s-eye view.
Only now could he see the full appearance of the woman in the phoenix dress. Her waterfall-like dark hair was tied with a red ribbon at the ends, elegantly falling over her back adorned with a crimson phoenix, draping past her graceful waist and hips.
The fox mask on the upper half of her face was only in red and white, lightly covering her face, giving her an eerie and mysterious temperament. The lower half of her face was almost identical to Yue Hongli’s, except her lips had a more alluring, rose-red bitten-lip makeup.
If Xia Feng hadn’t observed Yue Hongli’s lip lines up close, he might not have realized that these two were the same person.
Reno didn’t expect his Mother to be so decisive, eliminating the white-clothed man directly without even leaving ashes.
He could only say that no matter how much of a peerless genius one was, a genius who couldn’t grow was no different from an idiot.
After killing the white-clothed man, the woman in the phoenix dress’s slightly furrowed brow did not relax, because she discovered that the empathy progress was still increasing!
She knew that her idiotic subordinate personality had turned into a Great Calamity. After the contract master of the Calamity Contract died, the subordinate personality should have entered a sealed state.
But the empathy progress had not stopped. Clearly, that human man was not dead yet!
[Empathy 100%—]
Damn it! A shock ran through her heart, and she instantly felt a man’s aura lingering at her nose. She had a peculiar illusion, as if she were hanging from the man’s waist, swaying back and forth.
[Calamity Contract being established—]
[Pact—0.1% 0.8%]
“!!!”
That’s right, this was the situation she least wanted to face. The subordinate personality was bound by the Calamity Contract, which meant she would also be bound by it!
Once the pact was completed, she, the dignified Gui Hua Xingjun, would be at the mercy of that white-clothed man!
If it were in the past, with her Godhead still intact, she would not fear the pact. But now, with her Godhead lost and her strength diminished by more than ninety percent, it would be difficult to resist the power of the contract.
She had to hurry! Kill this human! Her pointed fox eyes grew colder. She scanned her surroundings, but the white-clothed man did not appear.
The corner of the woman in the phoenix dress’s lips curled, and she said with interest, “Human, I’d like to see how long you can hide.”
Her clear and melodious voice was lazy, but Xia Feng could feel a strong sense of teasing and killing intent.
The invincibility period of Nirvana lasted only 15 seconds, and Xia Feng indeed could not hide for long. But it didn’t matter. While waiting for Reno and the others to arrive, he had already devised several contingency plans.
!
Xia Feng explained his somewhat perverse plan to Yue Hongli: “Hongli, I might need you to bear with it in a moment…”
“Master, are you finally going to ravish Little Carp?” Yue Hongli’s tone was as indifferent as ever.
“What do you mean ravish? I call this strategic deterrence against the enemy!” Xia Feng said righteously.
“I see… Then Master, please don’t hesitate to ravish Little Carp!” Yue Hongli said earnestly. “Little Carp and Master personality originated from the same source and can restrain her for a while.”
While they were talking and planning, more information flooded into his mind.
[Gui and Hua, after successfully re-establishing the unity of spirituality and senses, can absorb Divine Authority Fragments to perfect themselves.]
[Authority Absorption Complete—]
[Divine Authority Fragment · Hua Scroll]
[Effect: Transfers Calamity Force. With this as a brush, draw the target’s image into the scroll, and their thoughts and desires can be sensed by Yue Hongli (the effect depends on the target’s Mental Power). At the same time, the target’s recent bad luck will slightly increase.]
Divine Authority Fragments were all minor abilities that did not significantly increase strength. However, the biggest benefit of absorbing authority for Yue Hongli was occupying a greater advantage in the competition for the Divine Position Main Aspect.
The so-called Divine Position Main Aspect referred to who would take the dominant position once the Star Position Devouring formed Twin Gods.
Since Xia Feng did not appear for a long time, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Reno looked up at the woman in the phoenix dress in front of the deep red tall gate in the distance, confusion in his heart. According to Mother, was that white-clothed man still alive?
Although somewhat surprised, this was good. He quickly shouted with anticipation, “Mother, this person holds many secrets. If possible, can you leave his remnant soul to me as a reward?”
“.”
A reward? I’m about to become a slave, and you still dare to ask for a reward? The woman in the phoenix dress tutted and ignored the idiot on the ground, her beautiful eyes focused and scanning.
Just then, she vaguely sensed a disturbance.
The moment Xia Feng exited Nirvana, he directly used Bronze Concealment and the Bronze Mask, hugged Yue Hongli from behind, and entered stealth mode together, making them invisible to everyone.
However, the woman in the phoenix dress still sensed their location. Terrifying killing intent surged instantly.
Xia Feng’s black eyes tilted slightly upwards towards the sky. Without hesitation, his right hand, placed on Yue Hongli’s soft lower abdomen, suddenly grasped upwards!
