I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 772. S-Rank: Ember Sun Divine Realm

Do it when you think of it.

Qinghong's feet stepped on the believer's chin, then slid up, her round toes pressing against his thin lips. As the believer's dark eyes widened in astonishment, the woman in the imperial dress placed her snow-white feet directly on the center of his face!

"?!?!" Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, not quite able to react.

"Don't move," a silent command rang out.

Xia Feng froze as he raised his hand to grasp the woman in the imperial dress at her ankle.

"This is the punishment for your dullness and ignorance. I want you to suffer it, so you must suffer it. Do you have any questions?"

Xia Feng's eyelids twitched. He had to admit that, in terms of their shared love of stomping on people, the Evil Empress and the Evil Dragon were indeed alike.

Moreover, they all felt that this was a punishment for him.

To be honest, being stepped on in the face was nothing, it wasn't like he hadn't been stepped on by Miss Evil Dragon before, so Xia Feng was completely unmoved.

Miss Evil Dragon even stepped on him there and punished him severely for a long time, but he remained completely unmoved.

Seeing that Xia Feng could endure being humiliated with his feet like this without turning against her, the woman in the imperial dress frowned even more deeply.

It must be said that although this believer was arrogant, lazy, and disrespectful to God, his willingness to sacrifice his dignity and compromise for the sake of God's essence truly showed his sincerity.

But for some reason, the more Xia Feng acted this way, the worse her mood became.

The Empress narrowed her vertical pupils slightly, then rubbed the believer's cheeks hard with the sole of her foot a few more times. The hot breath from her lips and nose was warm and itchy, causing her shoulders to tremble involuntarily. She remained silent for a moment.

She suppressed her displeasure and pursed her lips, saying, "Where were we?"

Seeing that the Empress had no intention of putting her foot down, Xia Feng's forehead creased with annoyance, and he spoke in a low voice, "You mentioned that the major powers sent people to participate in the Battle of Sumeru, but their purpose was not only to seize the Sumeru Throne, they also had other schemes."

"Yes."

The woman in the imperial dress nodded slightly. "According to the information I have received, there is an S-grade spiritual paper called 'Jinyang Divine Domain' in the Sumeru Realm. This is what Shang Jue wants to obtain."

"The Realm of Ember Sun?" Xia Feng was taken aback, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

"This was originally an S-level inheritance of the fourth pillar, but since the death of Pillar Gu Yi and the rise of Shang Jue as the pillar of the fourth pillar, this inheritance, along with the Sumeru Throne, has disappeared without a trace."

"The so-called Sumeru Throne is actually the divine authority transformed from Gu Yi's S-class spiritual artifact. Because of the special nature of the divine authority's power, it did not split and weaken the divine relic by countless times, and it still maintains its integrity."

And what happened during those ten thousand years is unknown, but the Sumeru Throne gave rise to the Sumeru War, drawing so many people into the struggle for it.

As Xia Feng listened to the Empress's leisurely narration, he was greatly surprised.

The Sumeru Throne is a divine authority transformed from an S-grade spiritual artifact?!

Is the Ember Sun Divine Realm an S-rank spirit paper?
Hiss—then this battle of Sumeru is definitely worth going to. No matter what, even if we can't get the Sumeru Throne, we should at least get the Ember Sun Divine Realm!
Moreover, the Ember Sun Divine Realm is a light-attribute spirit garment, which suits him very well!

"So, Lord Shang wants to send someone to retrieve the inherited spirit garment belonging to the fourth pillar of the Ember Sun Divine Realm?" Xia Feng asked in confusion.

"That's just one of the purposes."

The woman in the imperial robes narrowed her vertical pupils slightly, her tone cold and detached, "His true purpose is to use the Ember Sun Divine Realm against me."

"Huh?" Xia Feng looked up in surprise.

“Each S-grade spirit paper, in addition to serving as a carrier of S-grade spirit particle structures, possesses some special abilities.”

The Empress continued to explain, "For example, the Moon Time Divine Realm Spirit Paper of the Black Moon can be used to open the Miracle Galaxy and connect to the Star Realm." "And the Spirit Paper of the Ember Sun Divine Realm can be used to—store stars."

"?"

Store what? Xia Feng wondered if he had misheard.

"Gu Yi was an eighth-order star god who existed during the era of gods. Later, he was reincarnated and rebuilt during the chaotic Middle Ages, eventually becoming a ninth-order celestial god. He was also one of the earliest generals to follow me in conquering the world."

"Gu Yi once used his power to create the heavens and earth to incorporate nine stars into the spiritual paper of the Jinyang Divine Realm, and carried out energy conversion, transforming the unstable stellar energy into 'constant energy' that could be driven."

Later, he placed eight of the stars into the Temple of Apocalypse to power its "Apocalyptic Barrier."

"It is precisely because of the endless energy gathered by these eight stars that the Apocalypse Barrier has stood for ten thousand years without decaying, remaining unbreakable. Neither Shang Jue nor Huang Ye has been able to break through the barrier."

"Wait a minute." Xia Feng finally couldn't help but interrupt, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you mean that the three remaining Pillars of State are not with you anymore? And that they have ill intentions towards you?"

The woman on the throne was silent for a moment, then nodded with pursed lips: "The attitudes of both Buddha and Huang Ye are unclear. They have been asleep for too long, and even I have no way of figuring out their purpose."

"The only thing that can be confirmed is Shang Jue. After he obtains the Jinyang Divine Domain, once he learns its basic structure, he will most likely come to the Tianqi Temple to reclaim the eight stars and destroy the Tianqi Barrier."

Good heavens, Xia Feng was increasingly alarmed as he listened, and at the same time, he understood a lot of things.

No wonder Teacher Fu said before that many people in the Empire's high command did not actually want the Empress to awaken.

It seems the Empress is in a bad situation. She woke up to find everything changed and her strength was reduced to less than one-tenth.

"In other words, none of the forces under the three Pillar Kings are trustworthy. What about the Knights of Apocalypse?" Xia Feng asked again.

The Empress fell silent again.

"No way, Your Majesty! The Knights of Apocalypse have problems too? Aren't they your trusted lieutenants?" Xia Feng was speechless.

The Empress remained silent, simply gazing at the loyal believer.

After thinking for a moment, she pursed her lips and said softly:

"The Knights of Apocalypse are actually still under control, but they have split into two factions internally."

One faction is loyal to me, and another is loyal to the Empire. It cannot be said that those knights loyal to the Empire have betrayed me, for when I founded Apocalypse, my guiding principle was absolute loyalty to the Empire, with the Empire's interests taking precedence above all else.

Good grief, have you shot yourself in the foot? Xia Feng was completely convinced and asked one last question:
"So, why is Shang Jue targeting you?"

The Empress shook her head: "This matter has been tainted with a secret poison. If you want to hear about it, you must at least be at the Saint Realm."

Alright, another secret poison.
Xia Feng felt he needed to find an opportunity to have Miss Mu study this thing and create a solution.

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes slightly: "So, His Majesty's purpose in telling me this matter is..."

The woman on the throne, her vertical pupils stern, said in a deep voice, "I command you to obtain the Ember Sun Divine Realm. This item must not fall into the hands of anyone other than you."

Xia Feng smiled.

His lips were stretched wide open.

He slapped the woman's dirty feet away, stood up with an air of superiority, chin held high, his dark eyes looking down with disdain:
"beg me."
