Chapter 529: Body Fusion
The main hall’s structure was a hundred meters tall, with a magnificent and sacred interior. However, the atmosphere was currently filled with solemn killing intent and deathly silence. The elder with white-streaked hair, clad in a deep red religious robe, struck the ancient scepter representing the Black Moon’s faith against the ground repeatedly. He advanced slowly, his aura steadily rising. Although he was only at the Venerable Realm, the same as Olivia, his spirit pressure and aura seemed far more terrifying than Olivia’s.
The White Cat Woman thoughtfully watched the elder’s retreating figure, realizing this was likely the true intended use of the Moon Saint Technique Domain. Currently, all the spirit particles and mental power within the entire domain were being utilized by Oberon. Duels between spirit masters weren’t just about spirit robes and artifacts, but also about energy. Especially at the Venerable level, maintaining an A-class Spirit Robe for even an extra second represented a massive consumption, unimaginable to ants below the Venerable realm. Therefore, with a steady supply of energy, Oberon was already in an invincible position within this domain.
However, what puzzled everyone was how Oberon managed to forcefully seize the Saintesses’ authority and consolidate all of it to himself. Logically, even as a Cardinal, Oberon shouldn’t possess such authority.
“Dong—”
As the scepter struck the ground, four brilliant golden halos lit up around the red-robed elder’s feet, knees, waist, and the top of his head. Then, they dissolved like flowing water and floated upwards, forming a small golden sword directly above his head.
【A-class · Sword of God】
Xia Feng’s pupils constricted. This was precisely the spirit robe that had killed Sirius in a single blow when Uphiel and others besieged him. He hadn’t expected to see it again at this juncture. “Truly a nostalgic sight!” Xia Feng stepped forward expressionlessly, crossing the threshold to re-enter the hall.
Upon seeing the Sword of God, everyone’s expressions changed. The Justice Holy Son’s face was grave; his last glimmer of hope was extinguished. The Sword of God was an A-class Spirit Robe with both formidable power, arguably the strongest among A-class spirit robes, and a significant drawback. Its drawback was the terrifying amount of spirit particles it consumed, nearly matching that of an S-grade spirit robe, making it unusable for most Venerables. But with the Moon Saint Technique Domain’s amplification, Oberon had no need to worry about this issue.
Witnessing this situation, Yan Si and Jin Jili ceased their curses, their faces ashen. Oberon was clearly preparing to use his ultimate move to eliminate the two rescuers outside, giving them no chance and nipping any possibility of an accident in the bud.
The Justice Holy Son knew that reversing the situation was impossible. He wasted no more time, projecting his thoughts: “Jiang Qiue, Cha Nai Xue, regardless of Oberon’s ultimate goal, he is surely intending to commit evil deeds that violate the laws of the three religions and betray our faith.”
“Therefore, we must stop him! Even if it costs us our lives!”
The Justice Holy Son’s telepathic message startled the two women. They looked up in confusion. His hoarse and deep voice carried a solemn tone, “I will use my soul as a guide and self-destruct my fruit position! To achieve mutually assured destruction with these evil disciples who have abandoned the faith of the true gods!”
“As for the two Saintesses, I do not wish to morally coerce you, but if you succumb to assimilation, what difference is there between that and death? Why not self-destruct together?”
Jiang Qiue and Cha Nai Xue were momentarily speechless. It was true; rather than being assimilated, self-destructing to take the enemy down with them was a viable option. They had both learned self-destruction spirit robes, and the operation wasn’t difficult.
“However, if the two Saintesses are unwilling, then I can only apologize in advance.” The Justice Holy Son’s stern voice was righteous and filled with a determined resolve to die: “To prevent Oberon’s plan from succeeding, when I self-destruct, I will do my best to drag the two of you down with me!”
“This will destroy Oberon’s plan from its root cause!”
“?!?” Jiang Qiue and Cha Nai Xue’s faces stiffened. “Wait, do you even hear what you’re saying?”
Cha Nai Xue quickly projected her thoughts: “Don’t do anything reckless!! Jiang Qiue’s artificial life can save us! Your self-destruction now would not only be a meaningless death but would also implicate us!!”
“?” The Justice Holy Son was slightly taken aback. “Wait, where does this woman get her confidence?”
“Hey, Jiang Qiue, quickly explain it to him, don’t let this stupid Holy Son go crazy!” Cha Nai Xue was exasperated. In a fraction of a second, while trying to dissuade the Justice Holy Son, she also urged the person named Jiang.
Jiang Qiue was actually considering the plan proposed by the Justice Holy Son. After the Justice Holy Son self-destructed and severely injured the enemy, she would use the ‘tail-break resurrection’ and then enter to clean up. This was not a bad method. The drawback was the high probability of falling into depravity, a risk she was unwilling to take.
Hearing Cha Nai Xue’s urgent thoughts, although she still didn’t understand why Cha Nai Xue was so confident in Xia Feng, she still projected her thoughts calmly to the Justice Holy Son:
“Justice Holy Son, my artificial life is actually stronger than I am, and I already have a perfect plan for everyone to escape. So, don’t act rashly, or you’ll only make things worse. Do you understand?” Jiang Qiue’s ethereal voice was displeased, carrying an unshakeable command, as if everything was already under her control.
The Justice Holy Son, who was preparing to self-destruct, paused. He looked at the black-haired boy who had re-entered the hall with a doubtful gaze. “Is that true? Is this kid that formidable?”
Even though the telepathic exchange took less than two seconds, the golden sword above Oberon’s head had completely taken shape, shining resplendently! The ground, pillars, and walls of the entire magnificent hall vibrated, showing signs of cracking.
Buzz—!!!
The golden sword shot forth, and the world seemed to lose its color.
!
Just as everyone expected Oberon to continue charging energy, the golden sword, like a flash of intermingled gold and white, instantly pierced through the black-haired boy’s forehead.
*Sizzle—* A blood hole was easily pierced through the boy’s forehead, and his life force rapidly dissipated as he slowly fell backward. After killing one person, the Sword of God did not halt its momentum but continued to surge forward like lightning. Mu Qingtong also stepped into the hall at this moment, slowly walking inside. The cross-shaped golden light at the sword’s tip rapidly expanded in her pupils, and the chill of death permeated her soul. Yet, her golden eyes remained calm, as still as an ancient well.
“?!?” The scene in an instant caused the pupils of those who still held hope to contract simultaneously. However, before everyone could fall into despair, the boy falling backward suddenly disintegrated—turning into specks of bloody spirit light.
The fusion ability of the blood spirit construct had very strict usage conditions; it required not only soul compatibility between the two parties but also the death of one party. Fortunately, this was not a difficult matter for Xia Feng. The Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor was a perfect match. Moreover, the combined effect was unexpectedly good.
Xia Feng found himself transforming into light, and the world around him seemed to fall into a state of stasis. Or rather, it wasn’t the world that stopped, but his thought speed and action speed had reached their limit, infinitely approaching the speed of light. In his spiritual light form, he circled the entire hall and found that he couldn’t use any abilities, nor could he leave a thousand-meter radius. In the end, he had to approach Mu Qingtong.
Miss Mu’s beautiful eyes, with their light golden hue, quietly stared at the swirling star-like spirit light floating before her. At this moment, her thought speed had also reached its limit, but she couldn’t move freely like Xia Feng. The two were unable to communicate.
Xia Feng didn’t delay any further. He quickly transformed, becoming a spirit body composed of spiritual light, floating close to Mu Qingtong. Xia Feng leaned forward, his fingers interlacing with Miss Mu’s. Under her light golden eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. The spiritual light body also began to merge into her graceful body like a gentle stream of water.
