Chapter 954: Dream World Realm
The Black Moon Pope couldn’t understand it. The Abyssal Saint’s Spirit Pressure was suppressed to the Spirit Second-stage, so where did all these Spirit Particles come from?
Although he had seen the Abyssal Saint’s endless tricks before, witnessing this situation, the Black Moon Pope subconsciously sighed, realizing that there were always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens in this world.
He became even more interested in the Abyssal Saint. Those unfathomable methods were like tempting fruits, making him desperately want to obtain them.
Fortunately, after the Abyssal Saint used Authority Demotion on him, there were no further actions.
This was another point he found perplexing. The main function of the Sumeru Throne was to seize Godheads, and Authority Demotion should have been used for that purpose.
However, the status of the Black Moon Pope’s true body was only Sage, and this current body was merely a Venerable. There was no Godhead for the Abyssal Saint to seize.
Therefore, what was the point of the Abyssal Saint using Authority Demotion on him in this manner?
As soon as this thought arose, the Black Moon Pope felt an inexplicable unease, as if he had forgotten something important.
He narrowed his pupils and the countless illusory human clones instantly merged into one, hovering in the eastern sky. Looking down at the black-robed person about to be devoured and assimilated by the purple mist, he said calmly:
“The high status of the Dragon God Bloodline indeed naturally restrains any form of usurpation. However, assimilation is not usurpation; it is a more profound Supreme art. If Your Excellency is curious, why not give up resisting? You will know after being assimilated.”
Xia Feng didn’t bother with this old thing, his mind quickly completing the reception of the S-class Spirit Artifact.
[S-class: Gui Xu Meng Yan (Return to Ruins Dream Evolution)]
[Gui Xu: ① Any ability activated solely by pure Mental Power will cause the target to suffer a Gui Xu backlash and have their consciousness dragged into the Place of Gui Xu, falling into a low-consciousness/unconscious state. ② You can use Gui Xu on yourself to enter a low-consciousness/unconscious Gui Xu state, during which you will automatically be immune to all invading attacks targeting the soul and will.]
[Meng Yan: You can dream-evolve and usurp a physical body, inheriting all of that body’s attributes except for Spirit Artifacts (including but not limited to Spirit Robe experience, knowledge system, memory common sense, bloodline legacy, soul, marks, etc.).]
[Dream World Realm: You can sacrifice the ‘Meng Yan’ ability, rendering it unusable in the future, and simultaneously sacrifice all your memories to gain the ability to summon yourself from a future time branch to assist in combat {once}.]
[Note 1: For targets of Gui Xu, the stronger their Mental Power, the stronger the Gui Xu force that restrains their mind and renders them unable to move when their consciousness is dragged into the Place of Gui Xu.]
[Note 2: In the Meng Yan state, your main body cannot move and falls into a deep sleep.]
[Note 3: In the Meng Yan state, you can only exist and control {two} dream-evolved bodies simultaneously per instance. The stronger the physical body, the more mental effort and Mental Power consumed, making it more strenuous.]
[Note]
[Note 99: This Spirit Artifact belongs to the Psychic-type Spirit Artifact. As an owner of an S-class Psychic-type Spirit Artifact, you naturally gain a 10,000 Soc Mental Power amplification.]
[Current Mental Power: 11002 → 21002 (True God Stage)]
Xia Feng: “!!!”
In the general division of Mental Power levels, 1000–6000 is the level of a Venerable, 6k–10k is the level of a Light Holder, and 10k–20k is the level of a Light Wielder.
Above the critical point of 20,000, one touches the realm of divinity!
Xia Feng jolted, as if his soul, consciousness, and mind were undergoing a peculiar sublimation. His dark eyes suddenly widened and then dispersed, turning into specks of shining golden light that filled his eye sockets.
He vaguely sensed something and subconsciously, with a mere thought, his spirit extended like tentacles, touching the surrounding space-time. A profoundly mysterious and wonderful feeling instantly enveloped him, his mind becoming clear, and he vaguely “saw” the truth of the world.
That was the Origin Heavenly Dao!
This sensation of “seeing” was peculiar, as if he had already become a True God, a Heavenly God… or even as if he *was* the Origin Heavenly Dao.
Xia Feng instantly understood that the Origin Heavenly Dao was the mechanism by which the world operated, it was everything in the world.
He also realized that above the Heavenly God, there seemed to be another rank!
Could that be the rank of the Dragon God?!
Xia Feng’s heart was filled with astonishment. However, with his mind reaching an unprecedented height, he had finished digesting the information from the Spirit Artifact in less than a microsecond and regained his composure.
When his Mental Power broke through to the early stage of Light Wielder, the vast disparity had caused him to experience an illusion, making him feel light and ethereal.
Now, by obtaining an S-class Psychic-type Spirit Artifact, he had directly seen the Origin Heavenly Dao, as if he had become a god himself.
This vast disparity between his spiritual and physical realm should have caused his physical body to be unable to bear the will of a god and explode. Fortunately, his bloodline status was terrifyingly high, and after a moment of dizziness, he adapted.
Reaching the divine realm with his Mental Power not only brought about the ultimate increase in thought speed but also the ability to accelerate the Authority Conversion of Fruit Positions or Spirit Artifacts.
However, simply reaching the divine realm with Mental Power was not enough; it required advancing the ‘concept’ level.
Xia Feng had no time to think about these things now, nor did he have time to further “optimize” Gui Xu Meng Yan.
He was still within the Moon Time Divine Domain, and his Reason was rapidly declining.
[Reason: 403730]
After recovering his senses, he directly used Time Cover to return to reality, solidifying everything he had done within the Moon Time Domain, preventing the Black Moon Pope from canceling it and reverting to the starting point.
Simultaneously with the Time Cover, Xia Feng didn’t hesitate for a moment and directly used the Gui Xu ability on himself.
At the same time, the Bloodworm content within the Shadow of the Blood Fiend was completely consumed, and the surrounding purple mist surged like wolves smelling flesh.
However, Xia Feng had also entered the unconscious state of Gui Xu at this moment, his eyes closed, falling into a deep sleep, motionless.
The purple mist then lost its target, swirling and dancing around him.
Xia Feng lost all perception of the outside world, but compared to Xia Feng’s state, the Black Moon Pope’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
“This is…”
The Black Moon Pope was confused. He thought the black-robed person was about to be successfully corroded by the purple mist, but he didn’t expect the mist to still be swirling around the black-robed person without any effect.
Beneath the black robe’s hood, the Spade mask was still in place, facing him quietly, motionless.
The Black Moon Pope knew the danger of the purple mist, and the reason he wasn’t afraid was that Gui Xu Meng Yan could perfectly counter the purple mist. Moreover, this body was not his true form, so even if he was accidentally backlashed by the purple mist, he could immediately commit suicide.
But how had this Abyssal Saint achieved this?
Of course, that was no longer the point, because he suddenly remembered something!
This was… the Heavenly Gift Spirit Realm!
How could he have forgotten this? As the shocked thought flashed through his mind, the Black Moon Pope instantly understood that he had been attacked by some ability that caused memory loss!
His Gui Xu Meng Yan could not be immune to memory loss.
In the Heavenly Gift Spirit Realm, Spirit Artifacts in this space would forcibly develop consciousness.
His Gui Xu Meng Yan’s Authority Conversion progress, which was previously close to 2%, could resist the abilities of the Heavenly Gift Great Calamity. Now, it had been demoted to below 0.1% by the Sumeru Throne, naturally making it unable to resist.
“Buzz—!” A humming sound arose, and the ring on his right hand lit up with a strange life-force that sent a shiver down his spine.
