Chapter 637: All in Vain
Chapter 638: Saint Seat Strike, Sirius’s Perilous Situation
At the same time.
Astral Realm.
After Xia Feng activated the Sirius Saint Seat, Sirius once again shone brightly, like the only star in the night sky, drawing considerable attention.
Some divine existences, who had been in deep sleep for ten thousand years, were awakened by this Saint Seat fluctuation. They opened their eyes, their own stars shining, and their divine will swiftly focused on the Sirius region.
Fortunately, Xia Feng was prepared. Under the effect of the B-grade Spirit Robe ‘Myriad Stars’, eleven Sirius stars within the Sirius region emitted dazzling light, illuminating the star region once more, even half of the astral realm.
Astronomical Bureau.
After two days, the thousands of staff members in front of the star map matrix were once again startled by the sudden astral anomaly. They hurriedly operated the matrix power to pinpoint Sirius’s location.
But they missed again.
This flash lasted less than three seconds, shorter than the last time, making it impossible to track.
“It’s only been two days, how did it get promoted again?” Zhao Changkong, the head of the macro-analysis group, grumbled, a cigarette in his mouth.
“Group Leader, a Saint Seat reaction has been detected in the direction of the Sirius region,” a deep voice reported from group F at that moment.
“Saint Seat reaction?” Doubt flickered in Zhao Changkong’s eyes. The power of a Star Saint Seat was an ability that at least a Sage could use.
The Astronomical Bureau monitored Saint Seat reactions to determine where near-god battles were occurring throughout the empire.
Under normal circumstances, Sages treated powerful weapons like Saint Seat Strikes as trump cards due to their immense consumption. They would not use them unless in a life-or-death battle where they gave their all.
It had been many years since the Astronomical Bureau had detected a Saint Seat reaction.
“Sirius flashed, causing anomalies in three divine star regions, magnetic field disturbance, unable to determine the precise location of the Saint Seat reaction…”
Another report from his subordinate came in. Zhao Changkong narrowed his eyes. The Saint Seat reaction was precisely in the direction of the Sirius region. Could it be that a Sage was fighting Sirius?
Could Sirius be killed by this Sage?
Zhao Changkong’s heart skipped a beat. If that were the case, it was hard to say whether it would be good or bad.
“Buzz—”
The communicator vibrated, and an impatient male voice came through—it was the second-in-command of the Wolf Hunting Squad:
“Group Leader Zhao, we’ve already investigated half of the spatial coordinates you provided. Except for sectors 4, 14, 15, 25, 28, 39, 46, and 47, which are undetermined, most other sectors can be basically confirmed to have no Venerables being promoted.
But honestly, if your Astronomical Bureau doesn’t provide more accurate information, how long will this investigation take? In a few days, Sirius might have already gone.”
Hearing the report from the Wolf Hunting Squad’s second-in-command, Zhao Changkong’s eyes lit up. He quickly walked over to a star observer and swiped at the screen in the observer’s hand.
He saw that the Saint Seat reaction corresponded to a general range in the real world: sectors [7-24].
Zhao Changkong’s eyes widened. He took a deep drag from his cigarette, the embers falling to the ground. He grinned, “Heh~”
“Heh your ass, Zhao. You’re comfortable in your office, making me run around all day! I f***ing swear…” The man on the other end of the communicator clearly had a fiery temper.
“Alright, alright, Old Wang. Our chance to earn merit has finally arrived!” Zhao Changkong said with a smile. “I’ve calculated the sector Sirius is in, and I can also confirm that the other party hasn’t left the sector yet, and is highly likely to be severely injured!”
The range of the Saint Seat reaction was from 7 to 24. Within this range, only sectors 14 and 15 were still undetermined regarding a “Venerable promotion phenomenon.”
If the astral anomaly just now was indeed a Sage fighting Sirius.
Then Sirius’s location must be in sector 14 or 15!
“Old Wang, give the order. Seal off these two sectors immediately!”
Zhao Changkong stepped on the embers of his cigarette, his sharp eagle eyes narrowing. “I will also notify the Apocalypse Knights to immediately converge and provide reinforcements to these two sectors!”
Area 15. Li Tian City.
Shang Jue leaned back on his black and gold throne, quietly watching Ye Li Dongjun being killed by Xia Feng. He then looked curiously in the direction of the astral realm.
He was currently just a divine projection and could not determine the origin or the perpetrator of this Saint Seat Strike from the astral realm.
However, it no longer mattered which Sage-level existence had made the move.
The problem now was that Xia Feng, and the Sage existence behind him, had completely disrupted his plans!
The death of Ye Li Dongjun, who was supposed to participate in the Sumeru Throne competition, meant the demise of Ye Li Dongjun’s qualification for the Seat. His vast Life Points would also disappear.
This way, the Life Roulette would automatically determine that the Spirit Master ranked second in ‘Life Points’ would obtain the ninth Seat.
The Spirit Master ranked second was not under Shang Jue’s command.
His dragon-like golden eyes retracted, and he finally looked disdainfully at the person openly provoking his divine might in the distance.
“Pillar State Your Excellency, is this your divine protection? It doesn’t seem to be working very well?” Xia Feng’s tone was serious, mixed with confusion, but extremely provocative.
“Xia Feng, is it… Not bad. You are indeed the first ant in many years to surprise this King.”
“Unfortunately, an ant is always an ant.”
The middle-aged man’s vertical pupils were indifferent and calm, looking down from above. “Therefore, use all your means to escape, human. I hope you can escape the pursuit of a True God.”
After saying this, the middle-aged man paid no further attention to Xia Feng. His phantom form on the black and gold throne transformed into light and dissipated, leaving.
“There’s an Apocalypse Knight outside. You should leave quickly!” Freya’s telepathic voice sounded. Xia Feng turned around, “Teacher Freya, aren’t you leaving?”
“Only the living are useful to Shang Jue. Ye Li Dongjun is dead. Now it’s my turn to integrate the forces of this fortress.”
Xia Feng was actually quite puzzled by Shang Jue Pillar State’s attitude towards Freya. During this meeting, he didn’t seem to care much about Freya.
However, it was not the time to speculate about the relationship between father and daughter. He nodded and left without further delay, vanishing into the Holy Knight Space.
Shang Jue’s threat was indeed very effective. Being targeted by such a True God, even with an ability like Nightmare River that prevented death, he couldn’t help but worry if the other party had some heaven-defying countermeasure.
Xia Feng was in urgent need of meeting Miss Evil Dragon. It was a matter of great urgency.
As Xia Feng left, the lower barrier of the Naya Illusionary Realm also gradually disintegrated.
Shi Qi stood in the center of the Great Hall. Shang Jue had Telled him to pursue Xia Feng before leaving.
But he did not move at all.
After all, there might be a Sage-level existence protecting Xia Feng. He would have to be crazy to chase after him without regard.
He was indeed somewhat crazy, bloodthirsty, and enjoyed killing, but he wasn’t an idiot.
Even though Sage-level existences would be in a weakened state for a long time after activating a Saint Seat Strike, Shi Qi decided to ignore Xia Feng’s escape, just in case.
His purpose for being here was to find Sirius. ‘Xia Feng, who offended Shang Jue,’ was not within his mission scope.
However, after a moment of thought, Shi Qi grinned, revealing his shark-like teeth. A small shark with sharp wings flapped out from between his teeth and, in a few flashes, pursued in the direction Xia Feng had fled.
Regardless, he had to first determine Xia Feng’s general escape direction.
