Chapter 405
Chapter 405. Mu Shen: Let me see, who exactly are you?
“Boom! Boom!!”
As the bloodlines of living beings poured continuously into the black bead, the surrounding space visibly began to crack. The ground trembled, and dust waves swept outwards.
Within the black bead, Ye Li Helyan, like a specter, cackled like an owl, his frenzied laughter instilling fear in people’s hearts.
The two hundred Spirit Masters around them swallowed nervously and unconsciously took a step back, but quickly regained their composure.
Although Lord Helyan City’s current state was dire, even sacrificing his own Spirit Base and Spirit Substance to pledge allegiance to the Nightmare Clan.
Yet, these people’s loyalty was not to the empire, but to Lord Helyan City.
So, even if their Lord became a servant of the Nightmare Clan, he would still be their master, the one that these loyal death warriors needed to protect!
Moreover, if Lord Helyan City became a Shou Ling servant, he might not die.
The characteristic of the Shou Ling race was their long lifespan.
It not only allowed themselves to live long but also to extend the lives of other living beings. Even if the other party became a remnant spirit, as long as the Shou Ling was willing to pay some price, they could still consume their own lifespan to maintain the remnant spirit’s survival.
This was also the cooperation that Ye Li Dongjun had reached with the Shou Ling Great Calamity before leaving.
Ye Li Helyan used his Venerable Spirit Base and Helyan City’s million citizens as offerings to aid the Shou Ling in achieving its seventh eye. In return, the Shou Ling needed to kill the Masked Man while preserving Ye Li Helyan’s life.
After the initial lingering fear, the Spirit Masters quickly formed a defensive line, encircling the black bead layer by layer, keeping a vigilant watch on the three figures in the distance.
In fact, Xia Feng and the other two had no intention of attacking or intervening. After all, the spatial channel had already been opened, and the World-Breaking Bead could not be destroyed.
Xia Feng was currently listening to Mu Qingtong explain the situation in Helyan City.
While Dong Sheng Fortress was in chaos, the slaughter in Helyan City’s C district had not stopped.
In fact, this apocalyptic slaughter frenzy had spread from C district to D and E districts, with more and more citizens dying from various natural disasters.
In ancient times, when the passage between the two worlds had not yet been sealed and humankind was still in a fragmented state of warring nations, it was very easy for the Nightmare Clan to destroy a nation.
Often, sending out one or two six-eyed Great Calamities to bring down natural disasters could annihilate a country within a month or even a single night.
Now, because of the Imaginary River, more and more Calamities could be “promoted” to become Disasters. Although the number of six-eyed and seven-eyed Great Calamities was still not large, the number of five-eyed Disasters had exploded under the influence of the Imaginary River.
Of course, five-eyed Disasters were not stronger than True Martial Spirit Masters, and some might even be a little weaker.
However, for ordinary people, the destructive power of a five-eyed Disaster was hundreds or even thousands of times that of a True Martial Spirit Master!
It would only take about four five-eyed Disasters. If the four types of natural disasters they unleashed were well-coordinated, an entire small city could be destroyed in less than half an hour.
Therefore, for the Nightmare Clan, slaughtering a city was a very simple matter.
Helyan City was a large city. Currently, four five-eyed Disasters had appeared in the city’s C, D, and E districts. They were all subordinates of the Shou Ling Great Calamity, unleashing four types of natural disasters: lava, earthquakes, plague, and light poison.
So-called light poison meant that ordinary people who were exposed to light would rapidly develop lesions, their cells would decay, and their hearts would fail, leading to death.
According to the information received by Mu Qingtong’s subordinates, the situation in Helyan City had attracted the attention of the Holy Department and the Holy City.
However, the top combat power of the Holy Department had been dispatched for a secret mission. It would take some time for the Black Moon Holy See of the Holy City to reach the disaster area. As for Dong Sheng Fortress, which was the closest to the disaster area, it was obviously impossible for them to send troops.
However, fortunately, the Angel Legion of the third pillar, for some unknown reason, had its fleet near the sea off District 51, and was about to land on Helyan City’s Space-time Coast.
But by the time the Angel Legion intervened, Helyan City would probably have lost several hundred thousand more lives. Xia Feng understood that the only way now was to quickly kill both Ye Li Helyan and the Shou Ling Great Calamity!
According to the sensing from the Calamity Demon Heart, Xia Feng could feel that the Shou Ling Great Calamity was increasing its eyes and condensing its seventh eye at a very fast speed.
Unlike humans who needed to persist for several hours or even days to condense their fruit position, which was long and arduous and required a great deal of patience.
Now, after only twenty seconds, the Shou Ling Great Calamity’s seventh eye was already gradually taking shape and was about to be promoted, proceeding very smoothly.
This was probably the result of the Shou Ling Great Calamity’s years of meticulous preparation, which must have taken several times longer than Ye Li Helyan’s.
Unfortunately, all of this would be in vain before the Dragon God!
Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes and transmitted his thoughts back: “Miss Mu, Teacher Freya, after the Shou Ling Great Calamity breaks through the realm later, you must immediately use the Spirit Sealing Technique to seal your spiritual consciousness, can you do that?”
Mu Qingtong’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. Seal herself again?
“Especially you, Miss Mu, remember to seal not only your spiritual consciousness but also your spiritual pressure, spiritual base, and spirit substance,” Xia Feng solemnly reminded her.
Mu Qingtong: “…”
!
When they were in District 51, Xia Feng had actually brought her into the divine space. However, that time, out of respect for Mr. Xia, she chose to seal her spiritual consciousness and not peek into the secrets of the divine space.
But this time, she had to seal herself? And even her entire soul?
What did he mean by that?!
When Mu Qingtong saw that the Shou Ling Great Calamity was about to achieve its advancement, she had already understood how Mr. Xia planned to deal with this crisis. Therefore, she had intended to use this opportunity to peek into the divine space—
To see who that evil god, who had repeatedly trespassed on Mr. Xia, was, the so-called god that caused Mr. Xia to willingly become its believer.
But she didn’t expect that Mr. Xia still didn’t intend to let her see the other party, and even made more excessive demands!
“Seal spiritual consciousness?” Freya asked with some doubt, “Why?”
Xia Feng briefly explained, and Freya couldn’t help but be surprised. She could enter the divine space? Was there such a terrifying trump card?!
Although it was a bit unbelievable, Freya quickly accepted it.
The Spirit Sealing Technique was a D-class Spirit Robe that was not difficult to learn, but it required the target to be completely still and willing to be sealed. It was generally used to seal the spiritual pressure, spiritual consciousness, and spirit artifacts of criminals after they were subdued. More powerful users could even directly seal the soul’s aura.
Once the spiritual consciousness was sealed, it was true isolation from the world. No external information could be perceived by the body or soul, and the entire body would be unable to move.
This was equivalent to entrusting one’s entire life to the other party.
Freya did not worry that Xia Feng would harm her. Her only concern was whether the god Xia Feng mentioned was an evil god, and what attitude it had towards non-believers.
After all, the divine space was a very private domain for gods, and randomly entering as a non-believer was a very dangerous act.
However, there was no other way now, so Freya nodded.
Seeing that Teacher Freya completely trusted him, Xia Feng was relieved. However, what puzzled him was that Mu Qingtong’s brows were furrowed, seeming somewhat… unwilling?
Seeing this, Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat as if he thought of something.
