I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 191 - 173. Beyond the Star Realm
Noticing the disturbance, Jiang Li looked up in confusion and then froze for a moment.
Xia Feng? Why had he come? Jiang Li felt perplexed. He had intended to seek out Xia Feng after the arrival of the Goddess’s projection, but unexpectedly, the Eternal Day Saint Heir had shown up on his own...
Well, that saved him the trouble, Jiang Li thought with a hint of relief as he lowered his head to accelerate the progress of the ceremony.
"Xia Feng..."
Archbishop Aus stood atop a tall pillar, his wrinkled, aged eyes squinting as he looked down at the man below.
He had been anticipating a sudden arrival from the Peach Organization, but instead, it was Xia Feng, this young fellow.
However... the way this lad had appeared was quite peculiar; he had hardly sensed any spiritual pressure fluctuation, something that only a high-grade Spiritual Artifact could achieve.
So, could there be someone else hiding in the shadows?
With this thought, Archbishop Aus speculated that perhaps the Peach Organization had indeed already arrived? But the envoy sent might not be strong, fearing confrontation and thus hiding in the shadows without making a move.
He spoke from his elevated position, his aged voice calm and deep, "Why lurk in secrecy, Xia Feng? Have the person behind you come out."
"The person behind me? What person?" Xia Feng responded with a slight smile, "Your Excellency, I am unaided. I came here alone, solely to take Your Excellency’s life!"
Saying this, he gestured with a hooked finger toward the old man standing above the pillar, "Come on, old man, if you are a man, come down and duel with me."
Having suffered an initial disadvantage, the only option left was combat—succeeding by encountering the Archbishop during the fight.
The old man, looking down at Xia Feng who was challenging him, narrowed his eyes serenely. In the next instant, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and a humanoid lightning bolt flashed behind Xia Feng. Stay connected via novelbuddy
In the Archbishop’s vision, Xia Feng’s dodging movements seemed as slow as a turtle. His thunderous palm shot out directly toward Xia Feng’s back, but it didn’t hit the body; instead, it released a Thunder Snake that swallowed Xia Feng whole, his body instantly turning charred, carbonized, and disintegrated with the crackling sound of electricity.
After effortlessly killing Xia Feng, the Archbishop slowly raised his head, his gaze indifferent as he shook his head. It seemed the Peach Organization was not as formidable as he thought; no capable opponent had been sent even until this moment.
He estimated that they were likely short of manpower. According to the information currently available, the members of the Peach Organization known to have appeared were only four: Black Spade, Red Heart, Diamond, and Club—seemingly codenames taken from a deck of cards.
Since a deck comprises only four suits, could it be that the core members of this organization totaled just four?
As he pondered, Archbishop Aus stood still and waited momentarily; no one else appeared suddenly.
He shook his head in disdain. It seemed he had still overestimated the Peach Organization.
This organization had thwarted him repeatedly, clearly taking him head-on, yet this time they were conspicuously tardy in causing disruption, probably because they were powerless to stop him and had thus given up on the idea.
However, he still couldn’t let his guard down.
Only when the projection of the Eternal Day Goddess arrived would he truly be safe. By then, even if the core members of the Peach Organization arrived, they would be powerless.
"Jiang Li, how much longer?" the Archbishop asked again.
"Almost there, I can already feel the immense divine grace of Lady Eternal Day Goddess!" Jiang Li, having already removed his Golden Eye Mask, revealed his pale face; his eyes were full of worship and awe, yet his tone was manic.
He smiled grimly, dipping his finger in blood and frantically engraving intricate patterns at the center of the Array.
Xia Feng, having entered Nirvana State, hid in the shadows, observing this Array with confusion. He had previously heard about it from Cha Naixue. It was called "Star Shadow Ceremony," an Array capable of summoning the revered Star God.
The focal point of the Array was the Star Bone Glass, with starlight escaping continuously from the center of a blossom, floating toward the horizon.
Eternal Day Goddess... Hearing the masked man mention this name, Xia Feng’s brow furrowed. He remembered the divine name, "Eternal Day," yet, according to what he’d learned in textbooks, the Eternal Day Star God should have already fallen...
What connection did this Eternal Day Goddess have to the Eternal Day Star God?
Hmm, never mind, now was not the time to ponder these matters. Xia Feng shook his head, so, the Archbishop intended to summon the Eternal Day Goddess to shield him during the sacrificial phase?
If that was the case...
Should I try to stop the completion of this ceremony? Xia Feng hesitated for 0.1 seconds before deciding not to intervene.
Take a risk, from bicycle to motorcycle. Since he had decided to use the last Black Crow feather to drag the Archbishop into the Evil Dragon Space, to maximize benefits, it made sense to lure another deity in there as well!
After all, once this last Black Crow feather was used, there wouldn’t be any left. Merely using it to deal with the Archbishop seemed a bit of a loss.

The last time he used a Black Crow feather, he had pulled the Eight-eyed Evil God Anubis into it, so this time, bringing a Star God along would certainly please Evil Dragon Miss.
Eternal Day Goddess, the name alone sounded rather delicious, Evil Dragon Miss would undoubtedly like it.
Boom!!
Outside, the battlefield had escalated to its climax.
"Damn, there’s actually a Venerable taking charge, can’t I have an overwhelming victory just once!" A rugged man carrying Wei Shutong swore as he moved through Thunder Burst, ending up next to Director Xuanwu in the distant sky.
Above Director Xuanwu hovered a massive turtle shell, blocking all external attacks.
On the other side of the clouds, Viper’s blood-eyed mask was slanted on his head, his vertical pupil emitting a faint glow.
Beside Viper hovered a golden figure entirely built of gold, also wearing a blood-eyed mask, exuding a terrifying Venerable aura.
"Lord White Dragon," the golden figure’s voice boomed, deep and imposing, "we have no intention of being enemies with the Yinlong Army. Let us each take a step back. Take Wei Shutong and go, and we will act as though you and Xuanwu never came here."
Although the White Dragon Walker was new to the Venerable status, he was still tough to handle; the golden figure didn’t want to complicate things further, getting rid of these two nuisances was of essence.
White Dragon clicked his tongue. This proposal did sound quite good; their sole purpose here was to rescue Wei Shutong. As for killing the Archbishop or exposing the Garden’s matters, they temporarily dared not contemplate.
However, the White Dragon Walker couldn’t shake off a feeling of frustration, the helplessness making him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
Boom!!!
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, a cloud-swirling purple Divine Thunder streaked across as everyone’s gaze sharply lifted to look.
Swish—
Inside the castle hall, Jiang Li took a step back, exiting the core of the Array.
All the Divine Robe Priests knelt on the ground with their hands in a praying position, trembling all over. Under the horrifying pull of the Golden Light Formation, their bodies momentarily disintegrated into bloody Spiritual Light, following the intricate pathways of the Array toward the central glass blossom.
The Star Bone Glass, as if nourished, grew visibly at an astonishing rate, the petals fully blooming and emitting magnificent starlight.
Specks of light drifted upward, forming a milky way from the ground to the heavens, linking to the unknown far end of the Star Realm above the clouds.
