Chapter 409. Witch, I Accept Your Challenge!
“Believers?!”
The few words from the woman on the divine seat caused the expressions of the people below to change slightly.
Adaxin’s and Saloid’s eyeballs suddenly contracted, and they stiffened, about to look up.
But they saw the K-Masked Man not far away kneel on one knee before the woman on the divine seat, lowering his head and saying in a deep voice, “My God, they are people who want to torture me, skin me alive, and cut me into a thousand pieces.”
“Oh?” The pale vertical pupils of the woman on the divine seat shifted slightly.
Adaxin & Saloid: “!!!”
—You explain yourself clearly! Who wants to torture you!
They just wanted to “kill” someone, not torture them! There was a difference, you know.
Buzz! An invisible divine pressure suddenly descended, as if the sky had collapsed, pressing down on their backs. The bodies of the two Nightmare Clan members stiffened, and their fourteen pupils completely shrunk into terrified stars.
Seeing the embarrassed state of these two powerful Nightmare Clan members, Ye Li Helian’s already pale face turned even paler.
Although he could no longer think normally and his mental state was chaotic, he could still discern that something was not right.
These two arrogant Nightmare Clan members seemed unable to deal with that star-skirt woman.
“How could this be!” Ye Li Helian roared in fear and anger, losing his mind.
“Lord Dragon God!” Adaxin finally reacted, quickly pointing at Ye Li Helian and stammering, “It is these humans who have a grudge against your believers, it has nothing to do with us!”
Everyone: “!!!”
—Have you no shame!
At this moment, the lips of the woman on the divine seat moved, and her indifferent tone uttered only one word.
“Die.”
It was like a decree of heaven and earth. As the word fell gently, all elements in the world seemed to bow down to her as subjects. They all stirred with solemn and vast celestial resonance, like the funeral bells of heaven and earth, announcing the enemy’s death penalty!
Adaxin’s seven pupils, shrunk into starlike forms, split open in terror, bleeding, and he looked up at the woman on the divine seat with reverence mixed with despair, “Lord Dragon God!!”
He tried to beg for mercy, but gods do not pity the pleas of ants.
With a light sound, his giant body turned into blood mist and spiritual light with a *bang*. *Thump, thump!* Finally, only a large head remained, rolling onto the ground, its seven blood-red pupils wide open, empty and lifeless.
Gurgle, gurgle— The head rolled to Saloid’s side, and Saloid, who was respectfully prostrate, felt his whole body stiffen again.
“How could this be!” At this moment, the poison of regret and indignation spread through his soul, and he roared inwardly, “You said it was very safe! Why did this king come to the human world with that idiot Adaxin!”
If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have encountered such a terrifying existence!
If he hadn’t come…
Unfortunately, there are no “ifs” in the world! Without hesitation, he turned and fled. The cluster of eyeballs shot out an ink-green light blade, tearing open a dark spatial rift, and roared as he desperately tried to escape this place!
But unfortunately, even though Di Si was sealed and her strength was less than a tenth of its peak, she still had overwhelming power against a Seven-Eyed Nightmare Clan member who hadn’t even reached the Divine Steps.
“Bang!” With another light sound, the bizarre creature composed of seven ink-green eyeballs collapsed in terror, and the wisps of ink-green spiritual light that were trying to escape into the spatial rift were instantly annihilated by the pale flames that ignited out of thin air.
Not a trace of life remained.
“Dong—” With Saloid’s death, a white glass ball fell onto the grass.
The glass ball was inscribed with ink-green lines, depicting eight crudely drawn, eerie eyes.
“Is this like getting loot after killing a monster?” Xia Feng, who had been respectfully kneeling below the divine steps, raised an eyebrow. He was curious, the treasure dropped by a Seven-Eyed Great Calamity must be extraordinary.
However, this was not the time to pick up treasures.
Lost in thought, Xia Feng subtly glanced at Miss Evil Dragon.
The current appearance of Miss Evil Dragon slowly overlapped with her appearance when she first awoke. Xia Feng couldn’t help but feel a moment of daze. Perhaps this was the true Lord Dragon God, powerful and majestic, like the supreme god of heaven and earth, untouchable, unblasphemable, and full of divinity.
The gaze of the woman on the divine seat shifted again. Her calm, disdainful vertical pupils seemed to be burning with sacred white flames, with a sacred white underworld canyon splitting in the center, magnificent and desolate, devoid of any emotion.
The hearts of the crowd, however, were filled with chilling fear. They understood that it was their turn!
In despair, the two hundred Spirit Masters felt their hearts turn to ash. Their only consolation before death was that they had actually seen the Dragon God before they died, and it was enough to have no regrets in this life.
Wisps of spiritual light rose into the sky. Ye Li Helian, amidst a unwilling, ferocious low growl, his half-spirit body suddenly exploded, and only his painful wail echoed throughout heaven and earth, “No!!!”
The tragic cry came to an abrupt end.
The world returned to silence.
Among the crowd, only Dao Kui was left alone, prostrate beneath the divine steps. He knew very well that the reason he could survive was likely due to his Divine Half-dragon status.
“Dragon of Extreme Flame, Ishmael.” The indifferent voice of the woman on the divine seat sounded. “Is she still alive?”
Dao Kui’s eyes were dazed. He did not dare to lie, and respectfully lowered his head: “My lord god, I do not know who you speak of.”
Seeing this, Di Si’s gaze shifted, looking at her believer.
Xia Feng understood what Miss Evil Dragon meant; she was asking if he should kill this person.
Dao Kui keenly sensed that his life was now in whose hands. His pupils contracted, and he suddenly prostrated himself completely, abandoning all dignity, and said in a respectful deep voice, “Lord K-Masked Man, I am willing to be your hidden pawn placed beside Ye Li Dongjun!”
“Quite understanding, aren’t you,” Xia Feng raised an eyebrow. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly walked before Dao Kui.
After a short wait.
As Dao Kui sweated profusely, his heart on the verge of collapse, Xia Feng placed his hand on Dao Kui’s head, activated the Pale Contract Seal, and said indifferently:
“Accept the contract seal, or die.”
Half-dragons who accepted the Pale Contract Seal would be absolutely loyal, even Divine Half-dragons.
In essence, it was like a thought imprinting. Unless the Dragon God died or voluntarily released it, no one could break the Pale Contract Seal.
Dao Kui did not hesitate. Having witnessed all the heaven-defying feats of the K-Masked Man, how could he not know how to choose? Ye Li Dongjun and the like could go take a hike for all he cared.
From this day forward, he, Dao Kui, would be the K-Masked Man’s number one subordinate, his only loyal servant!
[Contract Seal Successful—]
[Current Contract Seal Count: 2499/3000]
After the contract seal was completed, Dao Kui fainted, his soul sealed, and he fell to the ground.
Xia Feng nodded with satisfaction. This Divine Half-dragon possessed the strength of the peak True Martial Second Realm, and could even fight against a Venerable Realm expert at full power.
Subduing him to lead the Half-dragon Legion would be excellent. Furthermore, he was one of Ye Li Dongjun’s confidants, which was especially important and might prove useful in the future.
Lost in thought, Xia Feng slowly walked to the flower bed of violets at the back and picked up the items dropped by Saloid’s death.
It was a glass ball the size of an apple. The surface of the sphere was etched with eight eerie green eyes, faintly exuding an aura that made Xia Feng feel dread.
[God Relic · Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes]
“This God Relic should not have come from Saloid,” Miss Evil Dragon’s voice sounded. “Logically speaking, he was only Seven-Eyed Level and had not yet reached the Divine Steps to form authority. He would not have generated a God Relic.”
Xia Feng placed the glass ball in the light and narrowed his eyes to observe it closely. “So, that means this is the relic of another Eight-Eyed Nightmare God?” Di Si fell into contemplation and nodded thoughtfully. “In my memory, the only Eight-Eyed Nightmare God of the Cursed Spirit race died on an ancient battlefield. This God Relic should be the manifestation of its authority.”
“Try channeling Calamity Force into it. You should be able to check its specific function.”
Xia Feng followed her instructions and channeled Calamity Force, and a massive amount of information flooded his mind.
[Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes]
[Cursed Spirit Nightmare God’s Curse: The person who kills you (causing your physical and spiritual death) will be cursed and become the host of the Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes. The host must complete eight shameful acts within a stipulated time. If unable to complete them, they will suffer the punishment of the Cursed Spirit Curse.]
[Note · Shameful Acts: The eight most shameful acts that the person who killed you considers.]
[Note · Curse Dispelled: Upon successfully completing the eight shameful acts, you will receive the Cursed Spirit Nightmare God’s favor, and the rule-based reward of the Cursed Spirit Curse.]
[Note]
[Note · Activation Condition: Channeling a magnificent amount of Eight-Eyed Level Calamity Force can immediately activate the Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes. In the following days, whoever kills you will be cursed and become the host.]
Xia Feng: “…”
What the!
Isn’t the ability of this God Relic a bit too… outrageous?
Xia Feng’s horizons were broadened once again. Indeed, there were all sorts of perverted abilities in this world.
“The Cursed Spirit race is a rare species among the Nightmare Clan. Their racial ability can force their enemies to commit shameful acts, so they have few enemies, and no one is willing to provoke this race.”
Di Si thought for a moment and added, “This God Relic in your hand is Eight-Eyed Level, with a very high status. Once it takes effect, unless it is a Main Star God ranked among the Twelve Palaces, no one can dispel it. However, the only drawback is that it requires a vast amount of Calamity Force to channel, which is probably why Saloid did not use this God Relic.”
Saloid’s Calamity Force was insufficient to activate the Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes, but for Xia Feng, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Activating the Calamity Force, he easily activated the Cursed Spirit Eight Eyes. The glass ball in his hand quietly dissipated and merged into his soul.
Well, although it didn’t seem to have much use in combat, it was still a God Relic. From now on, whoever killed him would be in trouble, becoming the host of the Eight-Eyed Level Cursed Spirit.
Just as Xia Feng was lost in thought, Di Si’s gaze shifted again, looking at the two women who were lying unconscious on the ground.
One had wine-red long hair, wearing a pure white martial arts uniform, with a beautiful and cold face sleeping peacefully.
The other… a black dress, silver hair, that cold and exquisitely beautiful face made Di Si feel slightly familiar.
Soon, she remembered. It seemed that when she awoke, her believer had also brought this black-dressed woman into the Place of Seal. At that time, she had also sealed her spiritual consciousness.
However, this time, not only had this black-dressed woman sealed her spiritual consciousness, but her entire soul was sealed, without the slightest aura being revealed.
Di Si’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. For some reason, she did not like the appearance of this black-dressed woman.
“My believer, who are they?”
The pale vertical pupils of the woman on the divine seat narrowed slightly. She stared at the black-dressed woman’s exquisitely beautiful face and said indifferently, “Do you need me to kill them for you?”
“…” Xia Feng quickly hurried to the side of the two women and said respectfully, “Lord Dragon God, these two are my friends.”
“Is that so…” Di Si’s vertical pupils flickered with a strange light, and she nodded. “Then your friends are quite pretty.”
Xia Feng blinked and subconsciously glanced at Miss Mu, then looked up at the woman on the divine seat and said earnestly, “Are they? But I think you are the most beautiful, Lord Dragon God!”
“!” The sudden praise from her believer caused Di Si’s ear roots to be tinged with a faint crimson. She pursed her lips, her vertical pupils shifting. “Really, you bad believer, why are you complimenting me when I’m talking to you seriously…”
Seeing that Miss Evil Dragon’s attention was diverted, Xia Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the plan was proceeding very smoothly.
Next, he just needed to get Miss Mu and Teacher Freya out safely.
Lost in thought, he cupped his hands respectfully and was about to say that he wanted to leave first.
A cold, indifferent female voice came from his side:
“Mr. Xia, so you come to this place every day just to win over the Evil God with lies?”
The woman’s voice was calm and serene, yet it echoed and reverberated in Xia Feng’s mind like a secluded clear spring, finally exploding into electric currents that made his scalp tingle and his entire body go numb!
He stiffened his black pupils and mechanically turned his head slowly.
Xia Feng: “!!!”
He saw that the black-dressed woman had somehow broken through the Spirit Sealing Technique’s seal and had already stood up beside him. Her cold little face was slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked up at the god above the endless divine steps.
“Heh~” The corner of her lips curved into a light, enigmatic laugh.
Xia Feng: “!!!!!”
As Xia Feng’s black pupils trembled frantically, on the divine seat, below the divine steps, pale vertical pupils and radiant golden beautiful eyes met. Terrifying gazes, as if tangible, converged in the air.
In fact, if Di Si had wanted to investigate, she could still have detected the black-dressed woman’s aura. But out of trust and respect for her believer, she did not deliberately investigate her believer’s friends.
However, the moment the black-dressed woman actively awoke, Di Si easily detected that familiar and utterly disgusting aura.
The Witch!
Di Si sat high on the divine seat, quietly looking down at this human woman, as small as an ant.
Through their souls, she saw that not only did the Witch have the ‘Feng’ character imprint of her believer within her, but her spiritual substance was also filled with a large amount of her believer’s aura.
Clearly, this Witch was indulging in her believer’s physical body, having completed hundreds of intimate acts in just a few days, causing the believer’s aura within her body to remain highly concentrated.
As expected, the Witch was truly evil.
Besides being evil, the Witch’s strength was also very low.
But what surprised Di Si was.
Despite being so weak, there was no trace of fear in the Witch’s beautiful, gorgeous, and calm eyes. Instead, boundless arrogance lay hidden within them.
As their eyes met, Di Si’s vertical pupils, like a majestic, vast abyss, narrowed slightly. This was the first time she had encountered an ant who dared to look at her like this.
She didn’t understand, where did this Witch get her confidence from?
But soon, Di Si understood.
Those golden pupils were like two serene, deep lakes. At the bottom of the lakes lay not only arrogance but also ambition!
—An ambition to replace her and become Xia Feng’s god, a rampant ambition!
This was clearly a challenge.
In a mere instant, in the time it took for their gazes to meet, though they did not exchange any words, Di Si clearly felt the Witch’s challenge from those plain golden eyes that seemed to encompass the entire universe.
A presumptuous challenge to her, to subjugate her only believer to her own command!
The woman on the divine seat’s exquisitely beautiful face, half-enchanting and half-bewitching, was silent and indifferent. Her vertical pupils, like an underworld canyon, looked down disdainfully.
—Witch, I accept your challenge!
