Chapter 992: 992 Gui, You Should Call Him Master
The runes quickly converged in the Woman in Phoenix Dress’s palm, vaguely forming a Bagua style Twin Stars diagram.
The Twin Stars were identical in appearance, both possessing a profound color of crimson mixed with crushed gold. Their tails trailed with flowing light, chasing and rotating around each other in her palm like Yin Yang fish.
The only difference was that one of the Twin Stars had a much dimmer hue, shrouded in grayness, as if it still needed to be supplemented with godhead to be fully lit.
The runes of the Star Devouring Formation on the ground continued to ascend.
However, at this very moment, the ink-black sky suddenly lit up with countless fine, blazing red cracks. With crackling sounds, it was as if a giant glass curtain was about to shatter.
“Buzzz—!!” Like millions of meteors breaking through the atmosphere, countless fiery meteors descended from the sky.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!” The realm trembled, and ink-black energy surged.
However, those fiery meteors were not actual meteorites but fist-sized, ultra-miniature stars constructed from ancient and profound runes.
The millions of ultra-miniature stars filled the sky, connected by fiery red spirit chains, forming a giant net that covered the heavens, turning the entire Divine Hua Palace realm into a hellish furnace.
On the ground, everyone looked up in astonishment. Lei Chonghua said in a deep voice, “It’s the Ash Domain Divine Penalty from the Blazing Sun Divine Domain. Someone is causing trouble.”
The giant star net plummeted down, forming a world-destroying, waterfall-like flow of crimson fire that filled every inch of space in this domain, making even time seem to freeze under this world-ending pressure.
But unfortunately, just as this world-destroying meteor rain was about to hit the ground of the Star Devouring Formation, the Woman in Phoenix Dress raised her hand and pointed with a slender finger. The million meteor rain stopped in mid-air, instantly flattening into a magnificent and splendorous ‘Meteor Rain Painting Scroll’ which flew into the woman’s hand.
The Woman in Phoenix Dress gazed at the young man in the wheelchair in the distance.
With the same clear and charming voice as Yue Hongli, but a completely different tone, her majestic divinity was laced with the teasing and contempt of a cat playing with a mouse. “Human, do you have any other means of struggle? Feel free to use them.”
Xia Feng narrowed his black eyes. He had just mobilized all the spirit particles stored in the spirit artifact, Spirit Restriction Coin, to activate the Blazing Sun Divine Domain, but unfortunately, before a near-divine existence, the Blazing Sun Divine Domain could only be easily dispelled.
However, it was not a big deal. After all, the play had to continue. He only needed to struggle a few more times to make Gui Shen more convinced that he had no more tricks up his sleeve.
Thus, he would finally fall into his… trap!
“Swoosh—!”
The runes of the Star Devouring Formation on the ground completely merged into the Woman in Phoenix Dress’s palm. The profound aura of the Twin Stars diagram surged, forming waves of runic light that swept across the Divine Hua Palace realm, even breaking through the boundaries of space and spreading to Sparrow God Mountain.
Seeing Xia Feng’s apparent abandonment of struggle, the Woman in Phoenix Dress shook her head slightly, finding it a bit boring. She said no more, suspended at the top of the Spirit Summoning Tree, pointing her palm towards the Cloud Platform.
Yue Hongli’s eyebrows suddenly lit up with a dazzling star pattern. Her soft hair flew, and she slowly ascended, flying towards the Woman in Phoenix Dress.
Everyone on the ground also widened their eyes, craning their necks in anticipation, witnessing this moment destined to be recorded in history.
However, to everyone’s surprise.
The Mother in the Red Dress floated to the edge of the blood-red cage formed by the Blood Corrosion Cage and was inexplicably confined, unable to move.
She seemed unable to leave this cage.
“What’s going on?” On another Cloud Platform, Jin Xiangfeng frowned and looked at Hezi. “The Blood Corrosion Cage should only be imprisoning Xia Feng. How is Master’s subordinate palace also isolated inside?”
Hezi’s eyes were vacant, but her brows were furrowed. After a moment of silence, she said, “Xia Feng… and Master’s subordinate palace have also established a conceptual relationship.”
“Hmm? What does that mean?”
“The Blood Corrosion Cage is divided into two ‘Cage Seals’ and two ‘Blood Corrosion Seals’. The Cage Seals are the imprisoners, and the Blood Corrosion Seals are the imprisoned. The prerequisite for planting the seal is that there is a blood relationship. Therefore, theoretically, it can imprison two people linked by a relationship.”
On the Cloud Platform, Xia Feng sat calmly in his wheelchair, looking up at the Woman in Phoenix Dress.
Previously, after understanding the function of the Blood Corrosion Cage, he had used an optimized version of Blood Treasure Heavenly Succession on Yue Hongli.
It allowed him to establish a conceptual father-daughter relationship with Yue Hongli. Although it was a bit strange, Blood Treasure Heavenly Succession could only establish this kind of relationship.
But no matter what, the moment the relationship was established, Yue Hongli was automatically imprinted with the Blood Corrosion Seal and was restricted by the Cage Seal, unable to leave the Blood Corrosion Cage.
If Gui Shen wanted to continue the Star Devouring Ritual, she could only enter, coming before him, Xia Feng!
The Woman in Phoenix Dress hung above the sacred tree and, in the next moment, appeared outside the Blood Corrosion Cage like a phantom, aiming the Twin Stars diagram in her palm at the red dress.
There was still no reaction.
Seeing this, the Woman in Phoenix Dress’s expression did not change in the slightest; she remained exceptionally calm.
She could actually allow Ke Yanqing and Kikyō Sayame to leave the Blood Corrosion Cage. With the disappearance of the Cage Seal, the Blood Corrosion Cage would naturally dissipate.
But the problem with that would be that Xia Feng would have an opportunity to escape, by taking his own life.
Investigations so far had revealed that Xia Feng possessed extremely powerful Resurrection abilities, but she still hadn’t figured out its specific origin, scope of effect, or limitations.
The mysterious woman who called herself “Yue Ji” had only told her that the Abyssal Saint was Xia Feng and that he could help her remove the Heavenly Gifted Calamity Poison. She refused to elaborate further.
However, she was used to it. Yue Ji had been mysterious ever since she joined the Second Gate Pillar as a disciple. Even after the Second Gate Pillar was destroyed, she remained so. Both she and the Pillar States like Huang Ye had once chased Yue Ji, but all their efforts were in vain.
But none of that mattered anymore. According to the “Heavenly Fortune Fate Talisman,” her luck this time was the highest possible.
Even if she knew Yue Ji had ulterior motives, it was not a big deal.
And now, to prevent humans named Xia from escaping by any means of suicide, she had to keep him trapped in the Blood Corrosion Cage forever.
The Blood Corrosion Cage must not be dispersed.
Of course, in reality, Xia Feng’s method was even more in line with her intentions.
“It seems this is your second method of struggle, human.”
Her lazy eyes scanned down indifferently, as if looking at a grasshopper wriggling before death. Although she wanted to kill it, she was not in a hurry. After so many years, it was rare to find something interesting. Enjoying the sight of its dying struggles was also good.
Inside the cage, the Mother in the Red Dress, whose upper face was obscured by holy light, parted her red lips and said in a clear, mild voice, correcting her: “Gui, you should call him Master.”
Gui Shen: “…”
Forget it, no more enjoying. It was more important to quickly complete the Star Position Devouring.
However, before that, she needed to wait for the ‘Sky Pivot Five’ inside her to stabilize before entering the cage, which would be safer.
It would take about two more minutes.
The Woman in Phoenix Dress glanced at her subordinate personality. “You should call this Lord ‘Sister’.”
Although they were different personalities of the same person, they had been very friendly when they were still one entity a long time ago, addressing each other as sisters.
Yue Hongli nodded and kindly continued to correct her, “Sister, you should call Xia Feng Master.”
“…”
“To serve an ignorant ant as one’s master, my good sister, is truly utterly ridiculous…”
The Woman in Phoenix Dress’s divine voice was filled with helplessness, murmuring as if to herself.
With Yue Hongli sharing the burden of the Blood Corrosion Seal, Xia Feng could now move. He slowly got up and quietly moved behind Yue Hongli, placing his right hand on her shoulder.
The Woman in Phoenix Dress sensed Xia Feng’s movement and simultaneously felt a man’s large hand fall on her shoulder. Her crimson pupils flashed with displeasure and killing intent.
Their gazes, black and crimson pupils, met in mid-air. Xia Feng’s black eyes were calm. He lowered his right hand, but then slid it up along Yue Hongli’s slender waist and lower abdomen, until it reached the misty, cloud-shrouded summit—
“Insufferable!!!” A mountainous roar of extreme rage erupted from the ground.
