Chapter 232: World-Ending Calamity, Sirius Appears
The Woman in Phoenix Dress left without looking back.
The deep red tall gate slammed shut, and the small, enclosed space, surrounded by the Eternal Flow Sea, returned to silence.
Renault and the Blind Old Man stood stunned on the rugged ground, looking up in silence.
“…”
So?
What’s the situation now?
“Where is Mother going?” the noble young master finally asked after a long while, his gaze full of confusion.
The old man’s spirit body flickered intermittently, his expression shifting with his emotions, a twitch at the corner of his eye.
Renault fell silent again. He knew, of course, that Mother had run away… abandoning them to escape!
This was simply… preposterous! Renault finally lost his composure. His previously stiff and calm expression instantly soured.
“Damn it! Damn it!!” His gaze was sinister as he stared intently at the White-clothed Man in the distance.
He didn’t understand why things had deviated so much from his expectations!
In his plan, this was supposed to be the moment to reap the fruits of victory, to seize all the secrets and assets of the White-clothed Man.
However—
What he absolutely didn’t expect was:
That Mother would be afraid of a man who hadn’t even reached the Venerable realm?
“Are you kidding me!!” The noble young master was somewhat destabilized, anger welling up in his eyes as he cursed and prepared to step forward.
But fortunately, the old man reacted quickly, grabbing him and saying sternly, “Calm down, young master. Don’t let defeat and anger control you. The defensive shield can still withstand two more attacks. They can’t break in! We are still safe here!”
Hearing this, Renault clenched his fists tightly, quickly calming down. He understood that now was not the time to lose it. He narrowed his eyes, staring coldly into the distance.
The White-clothed Man had already emerged from his stealth state. However, to Renault’s surprise and confusion,
There was a Woman in Red Dress with a very alluring face in the White-clothed Man’s arms. The blush on her earlobes and delicate neck indicated shyness, but her expression was very indifferent as she leaned into the White-clothed Man’s embrace, breathing rapidly.
For some reason, Renault had a strange illusion that this Woman in Red Dress was Mother.
The feeling flashed by, and before he could think further, the White-clothed Man slowly walked toward the two.
However, Renault wasn’t too panicked. After all, the Golden Sparrow Flower forces would arrive soon. As long as they stayed within the defensive shield…
Whoosh—
With a wave of the White-clothed Man’s hand, the milky white defensive shield was easily broken and dissipated into nothingness.
Renault: “？？？”
Blind Old Man: “！！！”
The two stared blankly at the vanished defensive shield, their expressions changing drastically. They turned to flee, but a remnant spirit and a mere third-stage cultivator were no match for Xia Feng.
Two black lights easily pierced the center of the elder and the youth’s brows.
“Ugh—” Blood seeped from the noble young master’s forehead as he stared in shock. His body slowly tilted back and fell to the ground, his final vacant gaze filled with overwhelming unwillingness.
Before dying, the Blind Old Man finally understood. His spirit artifact hadn’t lost contact; it had been snatched by the man before him!!
Just as the thought of shock arose, the old man’s spirit body suddenly dispersed.
However, to Xia Feng’s surprise, the scattered light fragments that dispersed into tiny spirit particles suddenly coalesced into a light-gold dove, which flapped its wings and instantly vanished from its spot.
Xia Feng’s gaze sharpened. The golden dove seemed to flicker, advancing a hundred meters with each flash, rapidly escaping.
However, Xia Feng made no move to stop it,
Because a scarlet-haired girl in a maid outfit suddenly appeared in front of the dove in the distance, her small hand firmly grasping the dove’s fate.
Mu Qingtong walked beside Fei and took the golden dove, squeezing it with force.
Instantly, the dove turned into specks of golden light, arranging themselves into lines of text in the air.
Xia Feng used several instant steps to appear beside the black-dressed woman.
“This should be a method of transmitting messages upon death, usually recording the most important information the deceased believed to be true.”
As Mu Qingtong explained, the golden text solidified, but it was very chaotic.
The two quickly scanned through it and found some information that greatly interested both of them.
[Plundered! That guy can plunder spirit artifacts!]
[There’s also a woman!]
[Sirius, the Calamity Star that will surely bring about world destruction!]
[Kamei Sea Area] [Cloud Platform Coordinate 198.12.03.09]
[Sirius suspected to have appeared]
[Requesting urgent assistance!]
“Sirius, the World-Ending Star?” Xia Feng blinked, glancing at the black-dressed woman beside him. “It seems to be talking about us, doesn’t it?”
Mu Qingtong frowned. “I don’t intend to destroy the world. Do you?”
“How could I! I’m so upright, kind, and handsome. How could I do something an antagonist would do!”
“Is that so…” Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes, smiling faintly at Xia Feng. “But Mr. Xia, you are now being framed and hunted by the major forces of the empire. If one of us were to destroy the world in the future, it’s clearly more likely to be you.”
“???” Xia Feng was utterly bewildered. No way! You, the World-Ending Witch, are calling me the World-Ending Antagonist!
When Xia Feng saw this information, he had already realized that Sirius definitely referred to Mu Qingtong. As for whether it referred to him…
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
What a joke! If he had to have an identity, he would be the heroic savior who constantly dealt with the terrifying World-Ending Witch and saved the world from disaster time and time again!
“Let’s not worry about this question for now. We should go.”
The commotion here was quite large, and it was indeed not advisable to stay any longer.
Both the cone-shaped ship and the capsule ship were destroyed and could not be used. Fortunately, Xia Feng had foresight. When he was on the Star Wheel earlier, he had stolen a capsule ship and stored it in his Nascent Ten Space.
!
The Nascent Ten Sacred Bow contained a 10-cubic-meter spatial dimension, capable of storing all non-living objects, including Spiritual Materials and God-tier Relics.
Storing a capsule ship was more than enough.
Squeezing into the capsule ship, Xia Feng felt the burden once again as the ship set sail.
Not long after the two left, a small warship landed steadily on the desolate cloud platform.
Disembarking from the warship was the middle-aged officer who had originally carried the spark, Han Ying.
His expression was somber as he frowned, scanning the battlefield. Red light flickered in his eyes, attempting to reconstruct the scene.
But unfortunately, the battlefield had been cleaned of traces by Xia Feng’s Bloodworms, and all the corpses had been devoured.
Seeing that all battlefield information had been erased, Han Ying remained silent for a moment before returning to the warship and opening the communication network.
The matter of the spark had undergone such a change that it had to be immediately reported to Walker Xize.
Sizzle—
His virtual avatar immediately appeared at the edge of a volcano.
“Rumble—”
Heat waves spread out, and lava churned.
Two figures stood at the edge of the volcano. One was an officer who appeared to weigh at least 300 pounds, wearing a specially made dark military uniform and a wide military cap.
The other was very tall and thin, standing as straight as a bamboo pole behind the胖 officer, his gaunt face indifferent.
The胖 officer was Xize, one of the three walkers of the Li Dong Legion.
The bamboo-pole-like man behind him was named Berna, Xize’s confidant.
“Walker Sir, Commander Berna,” Han Ying bowed respectfully.
However, the two ignored him and stared intently into the volcano with their hands behind their backs.
Han Ying dared not speak and followed their gaze.
In the center of the churning lava volcano, a… non-human creature was suspended.
It was a centaur, with the torso of a woman above the waist and the body of a horse below.
The horse was two meters tall. The horse’s hooves, tail, back, and neck were entwined with crimson flames capable of annihilating souls, the raging flames reaching its narrow, elongated eyes, coloring them with a majestic yet seductive crimson hue.
She raised her beautiful, delicate face, her pupils slightly closed. Her light-gold wavy curls cascaded over her shoulders and neck, and her proud upper body curves were covered by fiery golden armor.
This was the Walker’s spirit artifact. Han Ying looked on with some envy. It was said that Walker Xize had recently been infected by an artifact calamity due to an accident.
Although being infected by an artifact calamity was explicitly forbidden by the Legion, the benefits it offered still attracted many.
Although Lord Xize’s spirit artifact had not taken human form, it had transformed into a very rare half-human creature.
However, this spirit artifact currently seemed to have encountered some difficult problems.
