I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 722. Pope Old Deng's Purpose

To be honest, when Cha Nai Xue was only restricted by the Guardian Mark, Xia Feng was still a little worried about her.

But now, with the blessing of the Netherworld, Xia Feng is no longer worried about what kind of trouble Cha Naiyuki can cause.

Although the Naraku Realm instantly raised Cha Nayuki's strength to a level that could threaten both him and Miss Mu, Xia Feng could use the Naraku Realm to strip her of everything she possessed with just a thought.

Even if Chana Xue eventually becomes a god, she will still be controlled by him for life.

I have to say, the Naraku Realm is really useful.

Although he himself cannot use it, it directly adds a combat power to him that reaches the level of a sage.

This makes him feel very safe.

"I'm warning you again: if you harbor any disloyal thoughts, I will take back the Naraku Realm."

Xia Feng tugged at the soft flesh of her sweet little face, forcing a smile, "Think carefully, don't make me angry, okay, Sister Naixue?"

Seeing Xia Feng feigning gentleness, Cha Nai Xue's upturned eyelids trembled, she pursed her lips, and said softly and obediently, "Yes, Master Xiao Feng."

Seeing that she was obedient, Xia Feng ignored her and went to the outer edge of the radiation field.

Depsy died, and to make matters worse, he left behind such a difficult problem before he died.

The rays, radiating eerie colors, moved erratically within the radiation field, and all matter within the field was annihilated.

Xia Feng tried throwing in a piece of obsidian, which instantly turned to ashes—it was terrifying.

Mu Qingtong frowned and tried to probe inside with her spiritual power, but it instantly vanished into nothingness, and a sharp pain shot through her soul.

Neither matter nor immaterial can enter.

In the very center of the field, the luminous spiritual paper, imbued with divine power, floated serenely.

"This is difficult." Xia Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"It would take at least a thousand years for this kind of radiation field to dissipate naturally after its energy is exhausted."

Having acquired thousands of years of knowledge from the old monster Miao Shi, Cha Nai Xue immediately saw the crux of the problem: "It's impossible to extract it from the material and spiritual levels. We can only start with concepts from a higher dimension. So the only way now is through conceptual techniques!"

Xia Feng frowned. It was easy to say, but where could he get such a thing?

Most of the conceptual techniques are S-rank, or divine authority.

You need to find another S-rank before you can obtain the S-rank in front of you.
That's kind of ridiculous.

"correct."

Chana frowned, then suddenly said seriously, "There's something important I haven't said yet."

"Hmm?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

"While inheriting Miao Shi's knowledge system, I also gained access to some of the secrets she knew."

Chana Xue said in a deep voice, "Currently, the upper echelons of the empire and various forces are all preparing to compete for three supreme treasures: the 'Fire Seed,' the 'Holy Remains,' and the 'Sumeru Throne.'"

"The effects of the fire are unknown."

"The Holy Remains are the key to inheriting the divine positions of the Three Holy Star Gods, which has attracted the attention of most spiritual masters to the Holy Spirit Temple in District 41. Now, all forces have gathered at the Holy Spirit Temple, but they have been deadlocked and no one has made any rash moves."

The Sumeru Throne possesses a power that allows the user to seize the divine essence of a god, granting them the direct qualification to become a god.

Listening to Cha Nai Xue's explanation, Xia Feng leaned back strategically. Good heavens, it seemed that he was directly or indirectly involved in the struggle for these three treasures.

Moreover, what surprised him most was that the Sumeru Throne could actually seize the divine status of a god.
Jiang Qiu'e had once explained to him that the path to godhood is the process of elevating one's spiritual origin into a divine status.

If someone obtains the Sumeru Throne and then successfully seizes the divine status of a certain god, even if it is only a fragmented divine status, then as long as that person can step into the Sage Realm, he will definitely become a god!
Such a thing is a fatal temptation for both sages and saints. Thinking about this, Xia Feng also understood many things.

Depsy fought for the Sumeru King's Decree, which means that Depsy, or the Pope, most likely possessed a Sumeru seat.

With the battle for the throne of Sumeru about to begin, various forces are eager to make their moves.

Why did the Pope bring down the Red Moon at this crucial moment? Could it be that his purpose was to obtain the Sumeru Throne?

If the Pope ultimately obtains the Sumeru Throne, whose godhood will he seize?

Red moon? Or... black moon?!
The Black Moon is resisting the erosion, and the Red Moon is suspected to be the Pope's ally, which most likely means it wants to seize the Black Moon's divinity!
Only the Black Moon, which is now in dire straits, could possibly have its divine status seized by a sage like the Pope!
After Xia Feng understood the Pope's purpose, he suddenly realized many more things.

Ye Lidongjun orchestrated the Garden Massacre, unjustly killing 100,000 soldiers of Baidi City. All these outrageous acts were for the sake of becoming a god.

Does the imperial upper class simply condone Ye Lidongjun's behavior?

Or rather, it was Shang Juezhuguo who was protecting Ye Lidongjun and helping him obtain this last Sumeru seat.

There are a total of nine seats in Sumeru, and the way to obtain each seat is different. I wonder if the way to obtain the first eight seats is as cruel and inhumane as the way to obtain the ninth seat.

Xia Feng fell into deep thought. All he knew was that the Black Moon Pope was likely to occupy one of the top eight spots, but the identities of the remaining seven were unknown.

In fact, he wasn't very interested in 'seizing the power of divinity,' since Mu Qingtong was destined to become a god!

It's just a matter of how long it will take, and whether one can live long enough to become a god.

Therefore, neither Miss Mu nor he would stoop to the task of seizing divine status.

But the Sumeru Throne, such a divine object, probably has more than just the ability to seize divine status. Perhaps it has other, more powerful, and more attractive abilities?

Anyway, if possible, Xia Feng would actually like to compete for it.

As the old saying goes, since we're already here...
After gathering his thoughts, Xia Feng shook his head, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.

Right now, obtaining the Moon God Realm is the priority. Learning the S-rank Spirit Robe will give us some self-protection in the upcoming battle for the Sumeru Throne.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Xia Feng looked at the two women and said, "You two stay here, I'm going to find Jiang Qiu'e."

Chana Xue's eyes widened, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. She was somewhat afraid to be alone with Mu Qingtong.
In fact, after spending these past few months together, she was actually more afraid of Mu Qingtong than Xiao Feng.

The woman's single glance made her feel humiliated, wanting to lower her head and not dare to meet her eyes.

But Xia Feng had already left without looking back.

With the Pope currently in the Astral Plane, Xia Feng has no idea when the old man will return, so he dares not delay for a moment and must obtain the S-grade spirit paper as soon as possible to put his mind at ease.

Disguised, he sped through the skies above Blackmoon City.

Within three days, Black Moon City had restored basic order with the assistance of the Holy Ministry and Apocalypse, and the destroyed buildings were quickly restored to their original state.

The streets were bustling with activity, and life returned to normal.

It was as if the war scenes from three days ago had never happened.

However, Xia Feng had only flown a short distance when he saw more than a dozen streaks of light in the sky rushing toward the Tower of Babel like comets hitting the earth.

At the very front was Jiang Qiu'e.

Far behind, in pursuit of her, a terrifying sage's aura surged forth like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, moving at the speed of light! The killing intent was overwhelming!
"Hurry back to the Tower of Babel!" Jiang Qiu'e thought anxiously.

A chilling sense of death shot straight into Xia Feng's soul. A sharp pain struck, and Xia Feng's expression changed slightly. He turned and ran.
