Chapter 352: Three Deities
Now that Miss Mu was not around, Xia Feng had to rely on himself and felt a bit unaccustomed. He wondered if Miss Mu and the people from the Black Moon Holy See could track down the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall.
Qing Xiazi’s vacant eye sockets turned towards Xia Feng. It was as if his gaze was falling onto Xia Feng’s face, and he asked in a deep voice, “This masked person, why is he here?”
Xia Feng and Yellin had been communicating through thought, so Qing Xiazi was still unaware of Xia Feng’s identity. Yellin had no intention of revealing it either. She simply stated in a calm voice, “This person is an honored guest that the Goddess Venerable requested be brought back to the Burning Heaven main island. He is one of our own.”
“Is that so…” Qing Xiazi’s eye sockets narrowed slightly, though he had no pupils. This K-Masked Man seemed to be the main culprit who had almost gotten him captured by the Black Moon Holy See. Although he was eventually saved by the Goddess Fleet, he still felt lingering fear. If Yellin had not been present, he would have already made a move to kill the masked person to sate his anger.
As Qing Xiazi was contemplating, the pink-haired woman’s telepathic message echoed in Xia Feng’s mind: “Holy Son Lord, the Burning Heaven has many internal factions, and not everyone wishes to see you appear. If you want to keep your life, don’t speak carelessly, especially don’t reveal your identity as the Eternal Day Holy Son.”
Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He thought to himself that it was troublesome. It seemed that wherever there were people, there would be conflict, intrigue, and power struggles, even within such a deranged and evil cult organization.
While lost in thought, Xia Feng looked up as if sensing something. Amidst the gale that whipped up in the sky, the hurricane condensed into the figure of a gray-haired youth. The youth seemed to walk on the wind, and his grayish-blue figure instantly appeared before Xia Feng.
With a condescending gaze, his lips curved into a mocking smile. “Oh? Are you the foolish thing that just cursed me to seek death?”
“That’s right, it’s your daddy.” The K-Masked Man nodded, a hint of confusion in his voice. “What is it?”
The plaza fell silent for a moment—
“BOOM!!!”
The silver handgun in the gray-haired youth’s hand roared like a fire dragon, and the hot wind exploded forth. The K-Masked Man remained unmoved. His black robe rustled as his long, light pink hair flew backward. The woman planted her long saber into the ground, and a dozen colorful butterflies swirled around the blade, effortlessly dispelling the firelight and sweeping across the plaza.
A wisp of firelight seared the edge of Xia Feng’s black robe but quickly dissipated.
[You have been attacked by ‘Life-Slaying Gun’. Do you wish to copy it?]
[Copy successful—]
[B-grade Spirit Artifact · Life-Slaying Gun]
[Life-Slaying: Can be loaded with 100 light beams with the power of a D-class Spirit Robe, and 10 light beams with the power of a C-class Spirit Robe. It can store 1 B-grade Spirit Robe. Every person killed by this gun will cause a 0.2% power amplification to the stored B-grade Spirit Robe. If the deceased was a Spirit Master of Fourth-stage Spirit Pressure or above, the stored B-grade Spirit Robe will proliferate, becoming two B-grade Spirit Robes, with a maximum of two.]
The effect was decent. For Spirit Masters with insufficient Spirit Particle amounts, this could be used to store several Spirit Robes in advance and activate them instantly during battle. Although the effect was average, its B-grade level was significant. Taking it would be good.
Of course, Xia Feng did not immediately use “Remove the false and preserve the true” to plunder it, as doing so would alert Che Eunwoo to the anomaly, which would be more detrimental than beneficial.
“This person is an honored guest that the Goddess Venerable ordered to be brought to the island, Che Eunwoo. Are you openly defying the Eternal Day’s decree?” Yellin’s beautiful eyes were icy.
“Oh, an honored guest?” The gray-haired youth grinned. “So, he’s not one of us from Burning Heaven?”
“Then, according to custom, shouldn’t his limbs be severed and he be made into a human pig before his body and soul are temporarily separated and ‘encapsulated’ before he’s allowed onto the island?” Che Eunwoo twirled the silver handgun and asked with a smile, “Sister Yellin, will you do it, or shall your good brother do it?”
Yellin’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said in a low voice, “No need to trouble yourself. After the Obsidian is safely sent away, I will personally ‘encapsulate’ him.”
“That’s fine too.” The gray-haired youth smiled lightly and stared at the woman. “Good sister, I will personally watch you ‘encapsulate’ him later. Tsk tsk, just thinking about the scene makes me excited.” He then looked at Xia Feng, his cold eye sockets filled with mockery.
“Just say you want to kill me. Stop blabbering.” Xia Feng rolled his eyes.
The gray-haired youth’s gaze turned grim again, but he let out a soft laugh. “Kid, do you really think you’re someone important? Your death will be upon your arrival on the island.”
“Alright, enough nonsense, Che Eunwoo,” Yellin said coldly. “Where is the order from Walker Che Tai Xian?”
The gray-haired youth tossed a token in his hand and walked to one end of the formation. “Let’s begin.” Yellin also took out a token and walked to the other end of the formation, crushing it.
*Clang!*
Immediately, the intricate patterns of the formation lit up one by one with golden light, and mysterious starlight lines connected in the air. The formation was still forming.
Suddenly, a telepathic message sounded in Xia Feng’s mind: “Holy Son Lord, if you don’t want to expose your identity, then according to the rules, you should indeed be ‘encapsulated’. I will do it after the Obsidian is sent away. Remember not to resist, otherwise, Che Eunwoo will have a reason to act against you.”
“Fine.” Although he said this, Xia Feng already had a plan in mind to seize the Obsidian. Encapsulation was impossible, and entering the island was even more so. Since these bunch of fools were preparing to activate the ‘Intermediate Eternal Day Light’ and summon the Eternal Day’s will, he could only take a gamble with this thing and perhaps kill this brat Che Eunwoo in the process.
However, before that, there were some things he needed to clarify.
“Yellin, which deities are behind Burning Heaven? How many factions are there?”
“Three deities,” Yellin replied, although she didn’t know why he was asking now. “They are the Destruction Star God, Heavenly Gift Great Calamity, and Eternal Day Goddess. However, due to various reasons, the Heavenly Gift and Eternal Day Venerables have not yet obtained a Godhead, existing in a Quasi-God stage, just one step away from becoming Eighth-tier deities.”
“Because of this, although there are over a dozen factions within Burning Heaven, the two largest factions are the ‘World Destruction Faction’ that worships the Heavenly Gift Great Calamity, also known as the Burning Heaven Dao, and the ‘God Creation Faction’ that worships the Eternal Day Goddess, also known as the Goddess Hall.”
“Although the Destruction Star God is the strongest, due to some reasons, his believers are very few. However, the believers of the Destruction Star God hold very high positions, and no one dares to provoke them easily.”
“Che Eunwoo is a believer of Destruction, and his elder brother, Che Tai Xian, is also one.”
“That’s why, Holy Son Lord, if Che Eunwoo disregards everything, he truly might find a way to kill you. The believers of Destruction have been arrogant these years, and they dare to disobey the Goddess Venerable’s orders from time to time…”
Yellin suddenly provided a lot of information. After digesting it for a moment, Xia Feng thoughtfully wanted to ask more.
“Buzz!!!”
At this moment, the golden light of the formation shot up into the sky! A terrifying pressure swept out, and everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, with hurricane-like winds roaring in their ears. The will of a terrifying deity descended!
