I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 495 - 463. Miss Mu begs for mercy in excitement
Lord Peach Blossom, though his divinity was shattered and his strength greatly diminished, was still a Near-God Level figure.
Ri Nuo, though sealed in this place by the Moon Princess through extraordinary means, was also a Near-God Level figure, terrifyingly powerful.
Xia Feng hadn’t expected to encounter so many troublesome fellows upon his first arrival in the Evil Realm, which was quite a headache.
After all, he hadn’t yet resolved the threat of Lord Yeli Dong, and now he had provoked two even stronger beings, it looked like he was doomed today.
Of course, with the Demon Power of the Undying Spirit as a safeguard, Xia Feng wasn’t afraid of dying, but he wouldn’t be content without obtaining the Refining God Tower or the Evil Heart Demon Blood before his death.
"Buzz—"
As the gaze of the Light Form’s divine eyes fell upon him, Xia Feng’s body surface cracked like porcelain, with fine fissures appearing and a glint of pink light spilling out from them.
Such Near-God figures could often decide the life and death of a being with a single glance.
"Courting death," a low and indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth, and Xia Feng’s body surface, which was about to crack and disintegrate, instantly returned to its pristine state.
Upon the Blood Throne, the fierce Nuom face lifted, its dead and heavy gaze turned towards Lord Peach Blossom.
"When did a dying little god gain such courage?"
The eyes of the Light Form dimmed, looking down intently at Ri Nuo for a moment, faintly perceiving that the Near-God figure sealed here might not be as simple as a Wise Man Level.
However, no matter what, this figure was also constrained like him, and his strength was no longer what it used to be.
So, what was there to be arrogant about? Lord Peach Blossom spoke lightly, "My lord, some matters don’t need to turn too rigid. A good talk might lead us to a solution."
On the throne, that fierce Nuom face didn’t respond, merely turning its head to look again at Xia Feng, "Human, how do you consider it?"
Seeing this, Xia Feng knew he had gambled correctly. His previous decision not to resist and let Ri Nuo capture him into the Candle Fire Rock Land was because he knew Lord Peach Blossom was coming.
Since he couldn’t handle Lord Peach Blossom, he needed to find a temporary ally.
Especially after seeing the Refining God Tower and knowing Ri Nuo’s demands, Xia Feng felt even more that there was a great deal of room for maneuvering in this situation.
He smiled slightly, bowing respectfully, "Lord Ri Nuo, as long as you can protect my life, I can surely help you break the seal."
Yeah, right—Xia Feng certainly didn’t believe Ri Nuo would truly protect him, but at least he wouldn’t let him die for now.
"Agreed." Ri Nuo nodded, looking towards He Jianzhu.
"Alright, since that’s the case." He Jianzhu patted Xia Feng on the shoulder, "Let’s enter the tower."
The two walked one after the other over the long bridge constructed of iron chains. Below them, magma churned, with a few Dead Spirits sticking out their fragmented heads, wailing in pain.
The high bridge was also densely packed with Bai Nuos. The spider man and the bone snake man were being escorted among them, sweat pouring down.
They had thought it was just a standard pursuit mission, but they hadn’t expected it to be so dangerous, nor had they expected such a being to be sealed within the Evil Demon Sea.
Xia Feng and He Jianzhu reached the end of the long bridge, clearly seeing the countless entwined souls and limbs at the bottom of the tower.
The two stepped onto the edge of the dark and massive tower.
The man on the throne tapped the armrest, and a rectangular glimmer of light sprang up out of nowhere inside the tower, swallowing them both.
Ri Nuo could not use the Refining God Tower himself because he could not bear the Blood Beast, but he had made a binding contract with the Refining God Tower, possessing second priority usage rights of the tower.
Thus, even if these two were let into the tower, Ri Nuo was not worried they could cause any trouble.
In the distant sky, seeing this, Lord Peach Blossom narrowed his peach blossom eyes but said nothing more to stop them, merely watching quietly.
...
Tower Interior Space
Before his eyes was a swath of red, as if he found himself in a silent, red universe where there was no sound, no air, nothing at all.
Xia Feng waved his hand in the air and a few strands of red light trailed his five fingers like threads.
All of it was Blood Beast.
However, Xia Feng was now concerned with something else... the information that had appeared in his mind the instant he entered the tower.
[Divine Relics · Refining God Tower (Incomplete)]
[Current First in Line: Evil Demon]
[Current Second in Line: Ri Nuo]
As these bits of information flashed through Xia Feng’s mind, he could feel the Evil Demon Heart, as if further activated, with a torrent of information flooding into his head.
[After the fall of the Evil Demon god, its authority transformed into a multitude of Divine Relics, including but not limited to Evil Demon Heart, Refining God Tower, Evil Heart Demon Blood, Demon Limbs, Demon Eyes...]
[Evil Demon Heart as the central authority...]
[Would you like to reclaim the Refining God Tower and become the first in line?]
Xia Feng did not choose to reclaim it immediately. Both Ri Nuo and Lord Peach Blossom were outside, and directly reclaiming the item would undoubtedly be alarming the enemy.
It would brightly signal to those outside that there was a problem with him.
"The ants below, that black candle is the focal point of the Candle Fire Rock Land array. Refine it, and you have only ten minutes."
Ri Nuo’s cold and authoritative voice came from all directions, and Xia Feng looked up.
In the center of the red-glowing world, indeed, floated a single black candle, its wick currently alight with abyssal black flames.
"The authority to use the Refining God Tower has been granted to you. Ten minutes—if, when the time is up, you have not completed the refinement, Moon Princess, I can do nothing about you, but as for your man, I wouldn’t mind decapitating him and offering his head to that person outside, the one undergoing reincarnation and restoration."
Ri Nuo’s indifferent voice soon dissipated. Xia Feng and He Jianzhu exchanged a glance. The silver-haired woman’s eyes curved slightly: "Well, do you really want to help that guy Ri Nuo unseal it?"
"Of course, I’ve always been true to my word," Xia Feng said with a slight smile, looking down at the base of the tower through the Eye of Decompilation.
He could clearly see that, in addition to thousands of Residual Spirits of the Evil Clan piled up at the bottom, in the center of the tower base also floated two drops of bright red, gold-tinged Evil Heart Demon Blood, surrounded by dense swirls of Evil Blood Mist.
On the nine iron chain bridges above, including the Spider Man and Bone Snake Man, six newly captured beings had the Evil Blood Mist from their foreheads forcefully extracted and merged into the base of the tower.
The mist quickly fused, and before long, it coalesced into beads of mysterious blood that were fresh red with a hint of gold.
The Evil Heart Demon Blood at the bottom of the tower increased from two drops to three and began to form the fourth...
There was plenty of blood mist still, suggesting that there would be more than four drops of Evil Heart Demon Blood in the end.
In addition, when Lord Peach Blossom previously condensed the Light Form in the Calamity Realm of Charming Spirits, Xia Feng clearly saw three drops of Evil Heart Demon Blood within the Light Form, which must have been accumulated by Lord Peach Blossom through nine arduous reincarnations.
Counting these, Ri Nuo and Lord Peach Blossom had at least seven drops of Demon Blood combined, equating to at least 14% progress in the repair.
[Heart Repair Progress: 14.8176%]
If he could acquire this Demon Blood, the repair progress would double instantly! Xia Feng’s heart throbbed excitedly as if he were watching Miss Mu crying and begging for mercy, his whole body thrilled by the prospect.
In fact, he could now directly seize control of the Refining God Tower, commit suicide with the Evil Heart Demon Blood from the base of the tower, and return to Evil River, beyond anyone’s reach.
But the problem was, without doing so, the three drops of Evil Heart Demon Blood in Lord Peach Blossom’s possession would remain unobtainable.
