Chapter 359: Otherworldly Empty Ring, So Many Spirit Artifacts
As Xia Feng was contemplating, he suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. His black eyes narrowed, and he forcibly shifted his body an inch to the right.
“Sizzle—”
A dark crack opened and closed in the space where he had been standing, and a bloody line appeared on his right cheek.
[You have been attacked by the ‘Otherworldly Empty Ring’. Do you wish to copy this Spirit Artifact?]
At the same time, a green-haired man quietly appeared on the rooftop of a distant tall building.
“Heh~ reacting quite quickly.”
He wore a blood-colored cloak, a blood-eye mark flashing between his eyebrows, and a cold smile playing on his lips.
“Little bastard, did you kill Che Eunwoo?”
[Copy successful—]
[B-grade Spirit Artifact · Otherworldly Empty Ring]
[Otherworldly Dimension: You can release a domain. The space within the domain will be separated from the Real World. Unless using a space-type Spirit Artifact/Spirit Robe, people in the Real World cannot enter the ‘Otherworldly Dimension’.
—Range: Radius 1000 meters
—Note: If enemies enter this space using space-type Spirit Artifacts/Spirit Robes, their actions will still be restricted. Their movement speed will depend on the enemy’s Agility value. The higher the enemy’s Agility, the less their actions will be restricted by the Otherworldly Dimension, and the faster they will move.]
[Space Annihilation: After an enemy enters the Otherworldly Dimension, you can create spatial cracks within the domain to perform localized annihilation on the enemy’s physical body and limbs. When releasing, you must aim at the target with your hand, and the direct distance to the target must be within 30 meters.]
—Note: Space Annihilation can only be used 3 times every 24 hours]
It’s actually a space-type Spirit Artifact!
Xia Feng nodded with satisfaction. It was a good ability, capable of forming a natural barrier that made it difficult for outsiders to invade.
Che Tai Xian was now preparing for his ascension ritual, and this was likely his method to prevent external interference.
Seeing that the K-Masked Man was ignoring him and merely looking around with interest, the green-haired man let out a cold laugh and stopped talking nonsense. He raised his palm towards the K-Masked Man and said coldly:
“Die!”
[Remove the false and preserve the true successful—]
Xia Feng turned back and looked at the green-haired man with a smile. “I must say, your Spirit Artifact is quite good.”
*You know it well!* the green-haired man sneered inwardly, but the expected effect of his attack did not occur.
He frowned, continued to point his palm at Xia Feng, and said in a deep voice again:
“Die!”
Still, there was no reaction, and no spatial cracks opened to annihilate the K-Masked Man!
The green-haired man was stunned for a moment before realizing that he seemed to have lost control of this space?!
Not only that, but his connection with the Spirit Artifact · Otherworldly Empty Ring had also been severed!
It felt as if he had never possessed the Spirit Artifact… his heart felt empty.
His expression was astonished.
“The Spirit Artifact is good, but it’s mine now.”
Xia Feng raised his hand, aimed at the green-haired man, and smiled faintly.
The green-haired man seemed to understand something, his face changed drastically, and he turned to flee!
“Zzzzz—”
Dark cracks opened like the jaws of a giant spatial beast. The green-haired man’s cheek oozed a trickle of blood as he narrowly avoided it.
His Agility was very high, much higher than Xia Feng’s. Even in the Otherworldly Dimension, his speed was not slow.
“Optimize—” As Xia Feng’s thought fell, the Spirit Artifact changed again.
[B-grade Otherworldly Empty Ring · Optimized Version]
[The domain range of the Otherworldly Dimension has been expanded to a radius of 2000 meters]
[The number of Space Annihilation uses has been increased from 3 to 10]
[It can consume a certain amount of Spirit Particles to enhance the power of Space Annihilation]
Xia Feng had actually planned to use the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor and activate Musashi Tengu to forcefully charge into the Vanguard Building.
But now, it seemed unnecessary.
The enemy had delivered a Spirit Artifact for him to use, how thoughtful.
After acquiring the Otherworldly Dimension, he was no longer restricted by its speed-delaying effect.
He took a step forward and easily caught up to the fleeing green-haired man.
The green-haired man instantly stopped and looked up at the K-Masked Man in the sky with a look of terror. “Damn it… what the hell is this guy?”
A B-grade Spirit Artifact, just snatched away like that?
If it were copying Spirit Artifacts, he could barely accept it, but the ability to steal Spirit Artifacts was simply heaven-defying!
He couldn’t understand how such a disgusting ability could exist in this world!
As the K-Masked Man raised his palm, dark spatial cracks appeared in all directions.
Like countless bloodthirsty beasts, they gnawed and devoured. The green-haired man cried out in agony, spitting out blood.
“Which floor is Che Tai Xian on? How many defense soldiers and traps are in the Vanguard Building?” Xia Feng asked in a deep voice.
The green-haired man’s face contorted, and he gritted his teeth without answering.
However, Xia Feng didn’t need his answer. He had Yue Hongli’s Gui Scroll ability to read minds anyway.
“Master, Che Tai Xian is on the top floor of the Vanguard Building. There are 2 Pu Wu rank Spirit Masters and 10 Third-stage Spirit Masters on the top floor.”
“In addition, around the outer perimeter of the Vanguard Building, there are 1 Pu Wu rank, 6 Fourth-stage Spirit Masters, and 50 Third-stage Spirit Masters lying in ambush. They have set up traps.”
!
Close to seventy Spirit Masters, quite a formidable team.
Xia Feng nodded. After disposing of the green-haired man’s corpse, he continued to charge towards the Vanguard Building.
With so many Spirit Masters, there must be quite a few Spirit Artifacts!
He became excited, hoping these Burning Heaven cultists wouldn’t disappoint him.
***
Vanguard Building, Top Floor.
Under a luxurious crystal chandelier, the furniture in the spacious living room had been cleared away.
Above the empty tiled floor, a round mirror floated, its surface circulating black and white flowing light clockwise, resembling a Taijitu.
This was the Yin-Yang Mirror, radiating a mysterious aura amidst the swirling black and white energies.
Below the Yin-Yang Mirror, three figures sat cross-legged, forming a triangular formation around the mirror.
One man and two women.
The man had gray-white hair and a handsome face, looking identical to Che Eunwoo, but with a more mature and steady demeanor. A black and white Taijitu pattern was imprinted between his eyebrows.
The two women were beautiful. One was a sweet girl, and the other was a young married woman. The sweet girl was Che Eunwoo’s girlfriend, and the married woman was Che Tai Xian’s wife.
At this moment, all three of them extended their hands, releasing and channeling continuous streams of Spirit Particles into the Yin-Yang Mirror.
The more Spirit Particles the Yin-Yang Mirror contained, the better the Dual Cultivation effect would be.
Che Tai Xian had been preparing for this for two full years, inputting a large amount of Spirit Particles into the Yin-Yang Mirror every day and constantly collecting Light-Dark Obsidian.
All for a perfect ascension today!
“Tai Xian, the transaction with Ye Li H wasn’t worth it this time. We lost too much.”
The married woman said in a deep voice. “We helped him slaughter a city and agreed to lend him the Yin-Yang Mirror later. With such a price, we could have demanded ‘Origin Water’ from him.”
“That’s right, Tai Xian ge. Even if we didn’t ask for Origin Water, the usage rights of the Yin-Yang Mirror could at least be exchanged for a ‘High-grade Calamity Spirit Pearl’.”
The sweet girl also spoke, her voice a bit coquettish. “Hmph~ Ye Li H, that cripple, is only willing to deal with you, Tai Xian ge. If it were me, I’d definitely scheme to kill him!”
“All of you, shut up.”
The gray-haired young man’s voice was low and carried an unquestionable indifference.
The sweet girl and the married woman immediately fell silent.
The gray-haired young man narrowed his eyes, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. He didn’t care about anything else right now.
He just wanted to ascend to Venerable status as quickly as possible!
And then—
He would kill that ignorant bastard, the K-Masked Man, and avenge Eunwoo!
The sweet girl lowered her gaze, a gloating smile hidden in her eyes.
Although she was Che Eunwoo’s girlfriend, when she heard about her boyfriend’s death, she almost laughed herself crazy.
That idiot was finally dead, and she could openly approach Tai Xian ge~
“It will take another half hour to refine the Light-Dark Obsidian.”
Che Tai Xian estimated and then raised his head, narrowing his eyes. “Has the K-Masked Man arrived?”
The married woman nodded and said with a cold, faint smile, “I’ve already sent Green Hair to investigate. With the Otherworldly Dimension, the K-Masked Man can’t get in. Even if he does, we have the Spirit Artifact formation to deal with him. There’s more than enough time.”
“Furthermore, I have ordered all cultists that if they capture the K-Masked Man, they are not to kill him. We will execute him.”
A fathomless hatred flashed in the married woman’s eyes. How dare this K-Masked Man kill her favorite younger brother, Eunwoo! She had to kill this person with her own hands!
