Chapter 870
Chapter 870. A Pair of Dragon Pupils
If Xia Feng were a mere Venerable One, a single gaze would be enough to make his spirit pressure buckle under the Dao Comprehension Pressure, shattering him directly.
“Buzz—Buzz—!” Having found his target, the Divine Robe Man pushed his monocle slightly with his middle finger and looked down indifferently, without moving an inch.
Yet, illusory spirit bodies condensed on the surface of his divine robe. Phantoms stepped in profound footwork patterns, each step stirring spatial tremors as they slowly walked in Xia Feng’s direction.
Their pace was slow, yet it seemed to carry the pressure of heaven and earth, covering a thousand miles with each step.
Xia Feng attempted to mobilize his mental power to shatter the crushing Dao Comprehension Domain, but unfortunately, the moment he did, he felt as if he had plunged into an ice hell. His field of vision instantly turned dark, and he felt his soul and body pierced by countless chains, being dragged into an endless abyss, the cold biting to the bone.
[You have been attacked by the S-class Spirit Artifact · Gui Xu Meng Yan—]
[Do you wish to copy?]
[Authority Conversion 1.51%, copy failed—]
“Mr. Xia, do not mobilize your mental power. This person’s spirit artifact counters me,” a cold, clear female voice echoed in his mind. Xia Feng naturally remembered this.
The higher the target’s mental power, the stronger Gui Xu Meng Yan’s counter effect.
This was one of Gui Xu Meng Yan’s functions, outrageously powerful and a natural counter to World-Ending Witches.
However, Xia Feng was not flustered. He deliberately continued to mobilize his mental power, using his surging mental power to completely shatter the crushing Dao Comprehension Domain. The scene before him shattered like a broken glass lamp.
But at the same time, the Gui Xu force binding his soul also surged explosively under the nourishment of his mental power, dragging his consciousness into a bottomless abyss, even his thoughts beginning to freeze.
His consciousness plunged into chaos.
[You have been attacked by the S-class Spirit Artifact · Gui Xu Meng Yan—]
[Do you wish to copy?]
Information prompts flooded his mind once more. In Xia Feng’s dark vision, a monocle with a giant platinum chain pendant appeared, with a middle-aged man standing in its center.
He wore a triple crown of the Holy See, a light-gold ceremonial cape engraved with a black moon on his back, a gentle smile on his lips, but his eyes held a detached indifference that controlled everything.
It was none other than the Black Moon Pope.
The monocle rapidly enlarged and approached Xia Feng, directly attaching itself to his right eye.
A terrifying consciousness with extreme aggression flowed through the lens, turning into blood mist that covered the whites of his eyes and surged madly into the depths of his soul!
This was Gui Xu Meng Yan’s usurpation ability.
The Pope old man had indeed fallen into the trap, Xia Feng’s abyssal black pupils contracted, narrowing to a needle point!
“Buzz—!!” A mixed black and white spirit light centered on Xia Feng’s eye sockets instantly swept across three thousand miles, making the Heavenly Realm tremble slightly.
In the distant sky, the Divine Robe Man, who had been standing before the Heavenly Gate, also narrowed his pupils and subconsciously took half a step back.
Against a spirit master whose Dao Comprehension Domain had not even fully formed, even with slightly extraordinary mental power, there should be no room for resistance against Dream Evolution’s usurpation.
But just now, he had seen a pair of eyes.
The left eye’s vertical pupil was as white as snow, and the right eye’s vertical pupil was as black as ink. Those were Dragon Pupils!
However, the owner of these Dragon Pupils was not a true dragon. Behind the eyes, two colossal phantoms coiled at the bloodline’s end of the Spade Person.
The Black Moon Pope, considering himself well-traveled, would not mistake them. That abyssal black vertical pupil undoubtedly belonged to the Dragon God Dihe!
As for the other Dragon Pupil… although it carried the aura of the Pale Dragon God, it was unlikely.
After all, these two Dragon God bloodlines were mutually hostile and could never coexist in a single human body.
But regardless, none of that mattered anymore. After witnessing the Spade Person’s bloodline situation, he directly chose to self-destruct his soul clone, forcefully interrupting the usurpation process of Dream Evolution.
It was only then that he narrowly escaped.
Suffering such a betrayal, the Black Moon Pope’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally became serious.
In fact, he had been paying attention to the Spade Person since entering the Sumeru Realm, knowing that this person would never be as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Most people in the world were ordinary, but there were also many reincarnated chosen ones. Sages returned as youths, True Gods underwent tribulations, and Heavenly Gods entered reincarnation. There were too many seemingly ordinary individuals who actually had extraordinary identities behind them.
The Spade Person was likely one of them.
The Black Moon Pope had initially suspected that the Spade Person might also be a Sage, seeking the Divine Path and retracing their steps as a Venerable One.
But it seemed that was not the case.
The bloodline on the Spade Person was truly bizarre, and indeed… desirable!
The middle-aged man’s monocle flashed with a cold light. He looked down and raised his hand, pressing it forward as if in a void.
Xia Feng hadn’t expected the Black Moon Pope to be so decisive, immediately self-destructing his clone to escape, leaving him no chance to counter-attack.
With regret in his heart, Xia Feng frowned and contemplated further countermeasures.
In the current situation, to dispel the Dao Comprehension Domain pressing down on him, he would need to use his mental power. But if he used his mental power, the Dao Comprehension Domain would be dispelled, only to be bound and suppressed by the Gui Xu force, rendering him unable to perceive anything around him.
He was caught in a vicious cycle.
As the Black Moon Pope reached into the void, Xia Feng’s body uncontrollably flew towards the Heavenly Gate at extreme speed.
The chill of death descended, completely unable to escape the control of this strange gravitational pull.
This was the absolute crushing power of strength. Even if Xia Feng and Miss Mu combined, it would be useless. Of course, he could use the Throne Construct · Sirius Saint Seat and activate the power of Sirius for a Saint Seat Strike, which might offer some resistance.
However, before reaching Sagehood, he could not unleash the full 100% effectiveness of Saint Seat power and could not escape his current predicament.
But it didn’t matter. If ordinary means couldn’t free him, then he wouldn’t free himself; he would simply die!
Just as he was about to reach the Heavenly Gate, Xia Feng’s thought flickered. The Spirit Base on his soul’s surface instantly split into fine streams of light, releasing terrifying energy.
[A· Spirit Base Infant Transformation]
“Miss Mu, we may not be born on the same day, but we can die on the same day.”
After entering Nirvana state, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong lost their physical forms, as if they had naturally merged with all things, becoming the world itself.
“This is Nirvana state?” the female voice commented faintly. “How novel.”
Xia Feng’s consciousness flowed through the world, penetrating the Heavenly Gate and arriving directly above Tongtian Island outside the gate.
His thoughts descended, and the stream of light form condensed outside the Heavenly Gate.
There was no longer a Heavenly Tribulation outside the Heavenly Gate, but Tu Lin had sealed it with a Heavenly Gate card, making it impossible to open for ten minutes.
This was the perfect opportunity to escape the Black Moon old man’s pursuit!
However, before Xia Feng could rejoice, he sensed a violent fluctuation of an S-class Spirit Robe rippling through heaven and earth!
Flowing spirit energy, shifting light and shadow, everything in the world instantly froze.
[Moon Time Domain—Activate!]
The Divine Robe Man’s eyes narrowed. The Spade Person had clearly given up resisting and flown towards him. He hadn’t expected that after suddenly committing suicide, he would appear outside the Heavenly Gate.
His methods were indeed interesting.
Unfortunately, they were futile.
Since he couldn’t usurp the Spade Person while he was alive, he would kill him.
Annihilate his consciousness, render his bloodline power useless, and then usurp!
Of course, ordinary extermination wouldn’t work. Even if he died, the Spade Person would eventually revive under the rules of the Sumeru Realm, at most being eliminated.
Therefore, it was necessary to first lower the Spade Person’s sanity, causing the resurrection rule to become ineffective.
