Chapter 463: Miss Mu’s Excited Begging
Although Peach Blossom Star Lord’s godhead was shattered and his strength greatly reduced, he was still a near-god level figure.
Ri Nuo, though sealed here by Yue Ji through unconventional means, was also a near-god level figure with terrifying strength.
Xia Feng didn’t expect to encounter so many troublesome individuals upon his first arrival in the Nightmare Realm, and he felt a headache coming on.
After all, he hadn’t even resolved the hidden danger of Ye Li Dongjun, and now he had offended two even more powerful existences. It seemed he was done for today.
Of course, with the Safeguard of the Undying Spirit’s Demonic Energy, Xia Feng wasn’t afraid of death. However, he was unwilling to leave without obtaining the Refining God Tower or the Heart Calamity Demon Blood before he died.
“Buzz—”
As the gaze of the luminous divine eyes fell upon him, Xia Feng’s body began to crack like porcelain, with fine lines appearing and pink light overflowing from them.
These near-god figures often possessed the ability to determine the life and death of a being with just a glance.
“Seeking death.” A low, indifferent voice echoed through heaven and earth. Xia Feng’s body, which was on the verge of shattering, instantly returned to its original state.
From the bloody throne, a ferocious Nuo mask lifted, and its dead silent gaze turned towards Peach Blossom Star Lord.
“When did a lingering, insignificant god gain such audacity?”
The luminous eyes slightly narrowed. He peered down from above, carefully observing Ri Nuo for a moment. He vaguely perceived that this near-god being, sealed in this place, did not seem to be as simple as a Sage-level existence.
But no matter what, this being, like himself, was currently constrained and limited, his strength not what it once was.
So, what was there to be arrogant about? Peach Blossom Star Lord said calmly, “Your Excellency, there’s no need to make things too rigid. If we talk properly, there might be a solution.”
On the throne, the ferocious Nuo mask did not reply. It merely turned its head and looked back at Xia Feng, “Human, have you made your decision?”
Seeing this situation, Xia Feng knew he had gambled correctly. He had chosen not to resist when Ri Nuo captured him and brought him to the Candlelight Rock Ground precisely because he knew Peach Blossom Star Lord would be pursuing them.
Since he couldn’t deal with Peach Blossom Star Lord, he would find a temporary helper.
Especially after seeing the Refining God Tower and learning of Ri Nuo’s demands, Xia Feng felt even more strongly that there was considerable room for maneuverability.
He smiled slightly and cupped his hands respectfully, “Lord Ri Nuo, as long as you can protect my life, I will help you break the seal.”
“Hah,” Xia Feng naturally didn’t believe Ri Nuo would truly protect him, but at least for now, he wouldn’t let him die.
“Agreed,” Ri Nuo nodded and looked at He Jianzhu.
“Alright, if that’s the case,” He Jianzhu patted Xia Feng’s shoulder, “Let’s enter the tower.”
The two walked one after another across the long bridge made of iron chains. Below, magma churned, and vaguely, several remnant spirits could be seen poking out their broken heads, wailing in agony.
Dense white masks were also gathered on the high bridge. Spider Man and Bone Snake Man were being escorted, sweating profusely.
They had initially thought it was just an ordinary chase mission, but they never expected it to be so dangerous, nor did they expect such an existence to be sealed within the Calamity Demon Sea.
Xia Feng and He Jianzhu reached the end of the long bridge, clearly seeing the countless intertwined soul fragments and limbs at the base of the tower.
The two stepped onto the edge of the dark, colossal tower.
The man on the throne tapped his armrest, and a rectangular beam of dark light ignited out of thin air within the tower, engulfing them.
Ri Nuo could not directly use the Refining God Tower due to his inability to bear Bloodworms, but he had already formed a contract with it, giving him the second priority of usage.
Therefore, even allowing these two into the tower, Ri Nuo was not worried that they could cause any trouble.
In the distance, Peach Blossom Star Lord saw this, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed, but he no longer made any move to stop them, merely watching quietly.
Inside the tower, the view was a vast expanse of red light, as if being placed within a silent red universe, devoid of sound, air, or anything else.
Xia Feng waved his hand in the air, and wisps of red light flowed like lines from his fingers.
These were all Bloodworms.
However, Xia Feng’s current concern was not this, but the information that appeared in his mind the moment he entered the tower.
[God Relic – Refining God Tower (Fragmented)]
[Current First Priority: Calamity Demon]
[Current Second Priority: Ri Nuo]
As these pieces of information flashed through his mind, Xia Feng could feel as if the Calamity Demon Heart had been further activated, and a large amount of information flooded into his mind.
[After the Calamity Demon’s Divine Fall, its Authority transformed into numerous God Relics, including but not limited to the Heart Calamity Demon Heart, Refining God Tower, Heart Calamity Demon Blood, Demon Limbs, Demon Eyes.]
[The Heart Calamity Demon Heart is the central Authority.]
[Do you wish to reclaim the Refining God Tower and become the First Priority?]
Xia Feng did not choose to reclaim it immediately. With Ri Nuo and Peach Blossom Star Lord outside, reclaiming it directly would be like alerting the enemy. It would clearly signal to those outside that he had a hidden agenda.
“Ant, that black candle is the formation core of the Candlelight Rock Ground. Refine it, and you will have only ten minutes.”
Ri Nuo’s cold, majestic, and indifferent voice came from all directions. Xia Feng looked up.
In the center of this world of red light, a black candle was indeed suspended, its wick burning with abyssal black flames.
“The authority of the Refining God Tower has been opened to you. 10 minutes. When the time is up, if you haven’t completed the refinement, Yue Ji, I can do nothing to you. But as for your man, I don’t mind cutting off his head and throwing it to that person who is reincarnating outside.”
Ri Nuo’s indifferent voice soon faded. Xia Feng and He Jianzhu exchanged a glance. The silver-haired woman’s eyebrows curved slightly, “How is it? Are you really going to help this guy Ri Nuo break the seal?”
“Of course, I’m a man of my word,” Xia Feng smiled slightly, and through his Eye of Deconstruction, he looked down at the base of the tower.
He could clearly see that in addition to tens of thousands of Nightmare Clan remnant spirits piled up at the bottom, two drops of bright red, gold-tinged Heart Calamity Demon Blood were suspended in the center of the tower’s base, surrounded by wisps of dense Heart Calamity Blood Mist.
On the nine iron chain bridges, including Spider Man and Bone Snake Man, there were six newly captured living beings. The Heart Calamity Blood Mist between their eyebrows was forcibly drawn out and merged into the base of the tower.
Soon, these blood mists quickly merged, and after a while, they condensed into drop after drop of bright red, gold-tinged mysterious blood beads.
The Heart Calamity Demon Blood at the base of the tower increased from 2 drops to 3 drops, and began to condense the 4th drop.
There was still a lot of blood mist, and it was estimated that there would be more than 4 drops of Heart Calamity Demon Blood in the end.
In addition, when Peach Blossom Star Lord condensed the luminous form in the Enchantress Calamity Realm previously, Xia Feng clearly saw that the luminous form contained 3 drops of Heart Calamity Demon Blood, which Peach Blossom Star Lord had painstakingly accumulated through nine reincarnations.
Calculating this, the demon blood in the hands of Ri Nuo and Peach Blossom Star Lord combined was at least 7 drops, meaning at least a 14% repair progress.
[Heart Repair Progress: 14.8176%]
If he could obtain this demon blood, the repair progress would directly double! Xia Feng’s heart pounded, and he felt as if he saw Miss Mu crying and begging him for mercy, his whole body filled with excitement.
In fact, he could directly seize the Refining God Tower now, and commit suicide with the Heart Calamity Demon Blood at the base of the tower, returning to the Nightmare River where no one could catch him.
But the problem was, he would lose the three drops of Heart Calamity Demon Blood in Peach Blossom Star Lord’s possession.
