Chapter 599: Is It You, He Jianzhu?
Chapter 599. Is It You, He Jianzhu?
Sumeru King’s Order
Sumeru Throne?
Xia Feng quickly thought of the connection. Although he hadn’t entered the Life Roulette space for a long time, he knew that the competition for the Sumeru Throne was about to officially begin. The Sumeru King’s Order should be related to the throne’s competition. If so, Ye Li Dongjun would definitely want to obtain this item. Therefore, this guy named Gu Xun, who could hide in the Sky Lantern Pavilion in advance, would either be Ye Li Dongjun’s subordinate or an ally.
As Xia Feng was contemplating, Gu Xun’s nose twitched. His third eye suddenly fixed on Mu Qingtong, and his vertical eye narrowed: “You—He Jianzhu?”
As he spoke the name, his previously calm, hoarse voice trembled, filled with an unspoken fear. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xun quickly reacted and said in a steady, cold voice, “No, that’s not right. You’re not that devil. Who are you?!”
His sense of smell was very keen. He could easily distinguish the aura of anyone within a hundred meters using his nose. The aura of this Red Spade Person was very similar to that of He Jianzhu, but there were significant differences. He had almost thought that the Devil He herself had descended. If that were the case, their plan for today would truly have failed.
Mu Qingtong narrowed her beautiful eyes. It seemed that He Jianzhu was a notorious demon-like existence in the past, otherwise, a Venerable Third Realm expert wouldn’t be so terrified.
“True Martial Second Realm?”
The three-eyed man’s vertical eye, fixed on Mu Qingtong, flickered, and a sinister smile curved his lips. “Heh heh~ Interesting. Although I don’t know who you are, you must have a bloodline connection with that demoness He Jianzhu. Then this Seat will—gladly accept you today!”
His smiling tone was filled with wicked desire. As he spoke, a Crystal Red Blood Token emerged from his third eye between his eyebrows. The front of the token was engraved with the word ‘Sumeru’, and the back was engraved with the word ‘King’ in ink-black, solemn and desolate. He had almost been killed by the demoness He Jianzhu, which had damaged his Spirit Base and lifespan, causing his strength to stagnate in the Venerable Third Realm for many years without any progress. Therefore, he naturally hated the demoness to the bone. Today, encountering this Red Spade Person, even if it wasn’t her, he would settle the score!
The three-eyed man suppressed the wicked desire in his heart, and his lips curved slightly: “You two, you want this item, don’t you? Then I’ll give it to you!”
*Swish—*
The token shot towards Dipus and Tu Lin. Their eyes turned cold. They no longer had time to ponder who He Jianzhu was and simultaneously made a move to seize it.
However, Mu Qingtong seemed to notice something was wrong. Her beautiful eyes became serious, and she grabbed Xia Feng’s arm, preparing to retreat from the Sky Lantern Pavilion. But the eerie token had already burst into a radiant glow.
Brilliant golden rays of light spread out at a speed too fast for anyone to react. First, they passed through Dipus and Tu Lin, who had extended their hands. Their bodies instantly became ethereal, leaving only faint outlines, and they were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
Mu Qingtong clearly saw a photon, almost invisible to the naked eye, pass through her forehead as the ray of light rushed towards her. Mu Qingtong and Xia Feng’s forms also became ethereal, like the outlines of figures on a drawing, with no faces, no bodies, only lines. And a twinkling point of light suspended in the center of the figure outlines.
Xia Feng felt his consciousness being divided into countless small pieces, evenly distributed along a golden straight line on the paper. He commanded all his consciousness fragments to open their eyes, and indeed, he saw countless versions of himself. Cubes formed by gratings, one next to another, with no beginning and no end. Countless him were imprisoned in countless grating cages. Countless him looked up simultaneously, and then saw countless Red Spade People, upside down in the sky, also looking up.
“This seems to be the internal world of a photon,” countless surprised whispers of Miss Mu sounded. The overlapping vibrations of the voices caused Xia Feng’s nerves to ache, and he couldn’t help but cover his head, asking in confusion, “Inside a photon? You mean we… were absorbed by light?”
“You can’t quite say that, but it is indeed similar to the structure of a photon.”
Just then, a rapid, sharp, light hum sounded. Xia Feng covered his head again and exclaimed in surprise. This piercing hum was actually condensed words made up of several hundred characters. However, Xia Feng and the others had extraordinary hearing and could still decipher the condensed speech clearly.
“Everyone, this is the [Mi Guang Zhi Jie] created by the Sumeru King’s Order, powered by immense wish power. One minute here is equivalent to one hour outside.”
“Once you fall into this place, unless the Dark Controller Sage himself appears, you can only wait here to die, and you will never be able to get out after being photonized!”
“Heh heh~ Of course, Red Spade Person, if you are willing to sign a contract of enslavement and become my slave, I might spare your life out of consideration for He Jianzhu.”
“In half an hour… oh right, which is half a minute for you, this Seat will return here. Think about it carefully.”
*!*
Within the Mi Guang Zhi Jie, in addition to Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong, Tu Lin, Dipus, and Ning Zilu were also imprisoned in countless grating cages. Like five straight lines without a beginning or end. Between the lines were chaotic, vibrating, disordered curves. The more one looked at these eerie curves, the more their heads throbbed, and their ethereal bodies gradually shed photons, appearing on the verge of disintegration.
“This should be what Gu Xun called photonization.” Dipus looked at his phasing hand with a solemn expression. “I can feel that if I stay here for five minutes, I will be completely photonized and thus die.”
Hearing the explanation from the Pope’s son, Ning Zilu was completely stunned. Countless him collapsed on the ground, his face pale. He considered himself a genius, but since enrolling in Weiyang Academy and becoming a Child of Heaven, he had never been so shaken, nor had he ever seen such a bizarre ability.
Tu Lin also frowned deeply. The crisis of death made his nerves tighten as never before. He quickly looked around, his voice dull, hoarse, and low: “Under the current circumstances, either the Dark Controller Sage, or even the Light Holder Sage, must personally break this technique. Otherwise, we can only create a Spirit Robe specifically for this technique, and it must be at least A-class!”
“Create a Spirit Robe? A-class?!” Ning Zilu couldn’t take it anymore. He covered his head and knelt on the ground, roaring in despair, “How the hell is that possible? With less than five minutes left! And it has to be A-class?!”
Dipus’s expression was also grim, his pale face breathing rapidly. He had originally come to seize the Sumeru King’s Order, but he never expected the Sumeru King’s Order to possess such terrifying power. It had indeed caught him off guard. However, he quickly calmed his mind and flipped his palm. A complex Spirit Particle Structure model appeared in his palm.
“Spirit Particle Structures involving the light attribute have always been rare and difficult to decipher. I used to study D-class Spirit Particle Structures in this area out of curiosity. Now, with no other option, I have to try my best.” He glanced at the other four, speaking rapidly, “I’ll try to integrate this D-class Spirit Particle Structure. We are all in this together now! Don’t just stand there; see if I’m integrating it correctly.”
“Only D-class…?” Tu Lin frowned deeply but still nodded, paying full attention.
