Chapter 955: Optimization Effect
Life’s divine radiance condensed into a humanoid form in an instant.
It had limbs like a normal person, stood three meters tall, and had no gender characteristics, but it had goat-like horns on its head, and its entire body was covered in blood-red, rune-infused radiance.
A crimson, spiraling vertical pupil occupied its entire face, exuding divinity with a hint of malevolence.
[S-class Artifact Calamity – Gui Xu Meng Yan]
The moment this being appeared, the Black Moon Pope could no longer maintain his composure, his expression changing drastically!
He clearly sensed that this Spirit Artifact, which he had controlled for over ten thousand years, was developing killing intent towards him!
The authority he held over the Spirit Artifact began to rapidly disintegrate! He was on the verge of losing control!
A chilling dread washed over him. In a flash, without the slightest hesitation, he wrapped his right hand around a chain of runes and, before the Artifact Calamity completely lost control, plunged it directly into the Artifact Calamity’s heart. At the same time, he directly dispelled the Meng Yan state of this body.
“Boom—!!” As the Meng Yan state was dispelled, the main body’s consciousness awoke, and this body automatically triggered an explosive annihilation. The blood-red annihilation light swept across the entire Sky Mirror Space.
Within the light, a chain of runes bound the Artifact Calamity being, whose pupils were gradually focusing, the three-meter-tall creature, and violently pulled it into a light portal, where it disappeared without a trace.
“This is the second time, heh~! Once again, Saint, you are a step ahead. But it’s fine, my church will await your arrival at the Fourth Divine Treasury.” A cold, yet gradually turning gentle, voice echoed through the Sky Mirror, quickly fading away.
Crackling— The Sky Mirror Space also began to fissure simultaneously.
Within the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit Mirror, if the Artifact Calamity’s master died, or if the Artifact Calamity itself died, it would collapse. Xia Feng was unharmed, but the death of the Black Moon Pope’s Meng Yan body naturally fulfilled the conditions for breaking the Heaven-Bestowed Spirit Mirror.
At this time, prompted by Yue Hongli, Xia Feng also dispelled his Gui Xu state, regaining consciousness, and heard the Black Moon Pope’s final dying words.
The Fourth Divine Treasury?
The Fourth Divine Treasury again… Previously, Ms. Mi, a believer of the Life Star God, also said she was going to the Fourth Divine Treasury to find Gu Yi’s Divine Remains. What was the Black Moon Pope going to the Fourth Divine Treasury for?
Well, it didn’t matter anyway. For whatever reason, the Gui Xu Meng Yan was now in his possession.
Xia Feng was very satisfied with the Black Moon Pope’s act of coming to his doorstep to personally deliver an S-class Spirit Artifact. He was simply a considerate little angel.
Therefore, to repay this kind Pope, Xia Feng decided that the next time he met the Pope, he would help the Gui Xu Meng Yan, which had now become an Artifact Calamity, to remove the false and preserve the true!
Since he didn’t know the Pope’s main body’s location, if he were to remove the false and preserve the true now, there was a high probability that the Pope would guess that he, an Abyssal Saint, still possessed the heaven-defying ability to ‘plunder or annihilate Spirit Artifacts’!
If it were merely annihilating a B-class Spirit Artifact, it would be understandable. Such a level of annihilation Spirit Artifact was rare, but not astonishing.
However, a Spirit Artifact that could directly annihilate an S-class, causing it to disappear, and if the Pope spread this news, the hostility of various major powers towards him, an Abyssal Saint, might directly escalate to the same level as Sirius.
Therefore, Xia Feng decided not to remove the false and preserve the true until he was confident he could completely kill the Black Moon Pope.
At the same time, he finally had time to study the specific effects of Gui Xu Meng Yan in detail.
The power of Gui Xu could not only immunize against many Psychic-type attacks, but could even backfire on the attacker, forcefully drawing them into the Gui Xu state. This was undoubtedly a sharp weapon against Miss Mu!
Although Miss Mu’s Alpha Spirit Artifact had a higher status that could crush S-class, the power of Gui Xu would be weakened as a result.
But these were not problems. The main problem currently was that Miss Mu already knew about the existence of Gui Xu Meng Yan. By “Four Months,” she would likely guess that he had obtained Gui Xu Meng Yan, and it would probably be difficult to make Miss Mu intentionally attack him with her Alpha Spirit Artifact.
In this regard, he needed to devise a plan to make Miss Mu proactively use her Spirit Artifact on him.
Besides Gui Xu, there were also the abilities of Meng Yan and Meng Shi Jing.
Meng Yan was of little use to him, but fortunately, by sacrificing the ‘Meng Yan’ ability, he could obtain one opportunity to use Meng Shi Jing.
It was a pity that Meng Shi Jing could only be used once.
Seeing this, a thought crossed Xia Feng’s mind.
[Optimization Successful—]
[S-class · Gui Xu Meng Yan (Optimized Version)]
[Gui Xu: When facing attacks from Divine Authority or Alpha-class Spirit Artifacts, its effectiveness will not be weakened.]
[Meng Yan: After you incarnate and usurp a physical body through Meng Yan, you can not only inherit Spirit Robe experience, knowledge systems, memory common sense, etc., but you can also inherit Spirit Artifacts up to S-class! However, S-class Spirit Artifacts will be damaged.]
[Meng Shi Jing: You can sacrifice the ‘Meng Yan’ ability, and will no longer be able to use the Meng Yan ability in the future. Simultaneously, you will sacrifice all your own memories and gain the ability to summon {yourself or another person} from a certain future time branch {once} to aid in combat.]
Meng Shi Jing could originally only summon his future self, but now it could summon others? Xia Feng mused upon seeing this optimization.
This ability was very useful, but it seemed to contain great risks, so it had to be used cautiously.
While contemplating, Xia Feng opened the Divine Mirror Without Stand and made some simple adjustments to his current Spirit Artifact slots.
[Currently Possessed Spirit Artifacts (6/6): S · Gui Xu Meng Yan, A · Absolute Twin Pupils, A · Yin-Yang Mirror, A · Nascent Ten Sacred Armor, A · Saint Hand Guanyin, A · Undead Chart]
[Spirit Chart Storage Spirit Artifacts (5/5): A · Misplaced Eye, A · Memory Storage Cup, B · Vajra Ring, B · Spirit Barrier Coin, B · Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor]
[Undead Chart Storage Spirit Artifacts (5/5): A · Blood Treasure Heavenly Succession, A · Spirit Artifact Space, B · Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, B · Spirit Beast Ring, B · Blood Breath Mark Chapter]
[Undead Knight Carry (2/3): B · Ten Dragon Magic Cannon, B · 943. Reverse Time Spirit Eyes]
The Spirit Artifacts within the Spirit Chart could be retrieved and used at any time. The Undead Chart was like a warehouse, where Spirit Artifacts that were not needed for the time being could be stored. It had a 24-hour cooldown, and could only be retrieved after 24 hours.
As for the Undead Knights, they could only be used by the Undead Knight’s avatars. He had used his Spirit Base Infant Transformation along with the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor to create three of his own Undead avatars, stored in the Nascent Ten Space, and could summon them at any time.
So, strictly speaking, except for the 5 Spirit Artifacts in the Undead Chart that could not be used immediately, there were no usage restrictions on the other 13 Spirit Artifacts.
What made Xia Feng feel depressed was that his Spirit Artifact slots were not enough again. A total of 19 Spirit Artifact slots, with 18 already used, were once again at their limit.
He needed to hurry and find Spirit Artifacts similar to the ‘Undead Chart’ that could increase his Spirit Artifact slots.
On the ground.
Everyone thought they were in for a good show.
But they didn’t expect that after the Abyssal Saint entered for only two seconds, the Sky Mirror world seemed to stutter and lag, flickering purple and then blood-red across the screen. After another two seconds, cracks spread rapidly across the Sky Mirror, and it exploded with a bang.
The Spade Person hovered in the sky where the light flow was gradually dissipating, his black robe rustling in the wind.
As for the Black Moon Pope’s figure, it had vanished without a trace.
Clearly, he was dead.
Of course, everyone knew that the Black Moon Pope could not have been his main body. He wouldn’t die so easily.
Only a faint aura of purple mist remained in the air, but with the death of the Black Moon Pope, that purple mist seemed to have lost its anchor and dissipated completely.
