I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

One day and one night.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong's cultivation in front of the Yin Yang Mirror showed no signs of pausing, and the density of Spiritual Pressure steadily increased.

Another day passed, until around four in the morning on the third day.

The Spiritual Pressure density reached the late stage of Venerable One but was unable to advance further. Mu Qingtong felt a bit tired, seemingly hitting a bottleneck, overusing her brain, with her inspiration running dry.

"Let's take a break."

Xia Feng patted her slightly sticky, beautiful back, gasping hoarsely, "To integrate the spiritual materials for the second fruit position, there are around two hundred types. The fruit position we're aiming for is S-Class, requiring a full ten Level 6 Spiritual Materials. The amount far exceeds A-Level fruit positions, making collection difficult."

The first fruit position they integrated was——

[Rare A·Dual Origin Dao Fruit·Throne Mechanism]

This fruit position is very strong, allowing the two of them to overpower Spirit Masters at Venerate Four. However, it has a downside, requiring fusion, and its ultimate move creates a huge commotion.

If they could integrate an S-Class fruit position, their individual battle strength would instantly soar exponentially. Xia Feng felt that even without fusion, they might be able to overpower Saint Realm.

But achieving this goal is a long and arduous task.

Mu Qingtong tilted her snowy neck back, her lotus-like arms hugging Xia Feng's black hair tightly, murmuring in a tender, soft voice, "Black Moon, the General Court... should have quite a stockpile of Level 6 Spiritual Materials."

"...Makes sense." Xia Feng raised his head, thoughtfully, "We should find an opportunity to check out their spiritual material treasury."

"Boom boom boom——"

As the two chatted leisurely, dull knocking sounds interrupted the crisp splashing sound inside the room.

The nun's respectful, deep voice came from outside, "Two noble ones, the Holy Daughter requests your presence."

"Looks like there's news from Cha Naixue's side."

Although Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong had been cultivating continuously, they still took time to connect with Jiang Qiue, learning about the battle situation from the day before.

The Lion-controlling Youth's faction was sheltered by a Miao Master, allowing them to escape successfully under the siege of the Holy Department and Apocalypse.

According to Jiang Qiue's introduction, the Lion-controlling Youth's true name is Yuan Qing. The Miao Master once saved Yuan Qing's life and even taught him a few moves, making him somewhat of a half-mentor; their relationship isn't bad.

That's why Yuan Qing led his followers to rescue the Miao Master this time.

As for Yuan Qing's affiliation, it was a mysterious force called [Old Land]. Xia Feng searched his memory carefully but hadn't heard of it before.

Could it be a burgeoning force similar to Peach Organization?

The Old Land led by the Lion-controlling Youth managed to flee with the Miao Master's help, but the Burning Heaven Disciples weren't so lucky.

Under the joint siege of Apocalypse and the Holy Department, the Knights from Black Moon Court joined the battle, directly inflicting severe injuries on Burning City, leaving Leng Xiu barely hanging onto life.

Ultimately, Burning City and Ji Ying escaped with the Light Disciples' help, while Leng Xiu was left as a scapegoat, diverting their focus.

After tidying their clothes, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong followed the nun towards the top of the tower.

"Where's Jiang Qiue?"

"Saintess Qiu E is still handling affairs at the General Religion."

Xia Feng nodded and soon arrived at the special space at the top of the tower.

Dipus was still sitting cross-legged in the Star River Waterfall, but now, fifty hours later, his appearance had aged directly from young to old.

What was once an elegant face was now full of wrinkles and black spots, sparse white hair stooping his back.

If not for the light gold sacrificial robe on his back and the monocle over his right eye, it's hard to imagine that he was the son of the Pope, now gentle and sophisticated.

Dipus seemed to struggle, his muddled, aged eyes drooping.

In the center of the Void Platform ahead, there was no sign of the Miao Master, only Cha Naixue sitting cross-legged.

Not far from Cha Naixue, Leng Xiu, face covered in blood, lay trembling on the ground, without his previous arrogance and laziness.

At this moment, he kept banging his head against the ground, pleading in terror with a quavering voice, "Holy Daughter! I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"

Between life and death, it is easiest to crush one's mind.

This Burning Heaven Disciple looked like he had suffered inhuman torture and was already ruined.

Amidst his bowing, Leng Xiu's peripheral vision caught Xia Feng approaching slowly, and he paused, a flash of dark hatred and anger crossing his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, hurriedly bowing to Xia Feng as well, constantly begging for mercy.

Fortunes shift; only days ago, he had chased Xia Feng and his group like playing with rats in daylight, but now he was merely a prisoner, and dignity no longer mattered.

Xia Feng ignored him, merely puzzled as he looked towards Cha Naixue, "Where's your teacher?"

"Not sure." Cha Naixue shook her head, giving Leng Xiu no chance to speak further, directly slapping him to death.

"Boom!"

Within Leng Xiu was sealed a Dead Spirit, and it was this spirit possessing the Nailuo Spiritual Artifact.

With Leng Xiu's death, the Dead Spirit vanished like smoke, and the Spiritual Artifact transformed into two fragments, an A-level fragment and a B-level fragment, which surged into Cha Naixue's brow.

The fusion process for the fragments went very smoothly; the purple light at her brow grew increasingly bright, and with a sudden opening of her eyes, the dazzling purple pupils appeared as if stars were twinkling, magnificent.

This marked the beginning of Holy Release.

Xia Feng couldn't help but envy; Cha Naixue's Holy Release truly was easy. In a matter of days, she had completed all the material collection, and a compliant Venerable One was delivered right to her for slaughter without the hassle of arranged Holy Resolution Ceremony.

Everything seemed to... have been perfectly arranged.

Before long, the magnificent starry eyes of Cha Naixue began to contract, the chaotic star threads enveloping her pupils receding into the cold eyes, giving her gaze an air of an authoritative leader.

Strangely, Cha Naixue showed no joy of successful Holy Release. Instead, her brow gradually furrowed, her expression looking rather unpleasant.

"What's wrong? Did the Holy Release fail?" Xia Feng already felt something was amiss, prepared for problems to arise.

Cha Naixue raised her head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips, but the forced smile seemed helpless, "The Holy Release did succeed, but the power from it is simply... "

"Useless."

"Useless?" Xia Feng asked in confusion, placing his hand on Cha Naixue's shoulder to activate his copy ability.

[A·Holy Release·Nailuo Domain]

[Nailuo Demon: Sacrificing the respective power of Nailuo Faith allows access to 'Nailuo Domain.' In the Nailuo Domain, input known sample volume and information can calculate the probability of occurrence for an event. 'Nailuo Domain' is a Different Space, with a maximum stay of 5 days.]

[Abnormality: S-Class·Spiritual Artifact created by Nailuo Star River, usage requires sacrificing faith to Nailuo Star God.]

[Holy Release·Nailuo Realm: You can sacrifice your own life, including your soul, transferring your strength, agility, spirit, intelligence, general attributes, as well as Spiritual Clothes knowledge, including the Nailuo Domain itself to the target.

At the same time, your soul will be sealed in the despairing Nailuo Domain, and once the target has fully absorbed your 'all,' your soul will be completely consumed by Nailuo, resulting in death.]
