I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 16. Pleasure
Black Raven looked down at the man before the throne, his gaze filled with surprise and extreme solemnity.

This is the first and only person in history to be able to ignore this terrifying evil force field and come directly to the throne.

"What do you want to do?" the bird asked, its beak opening and closing in confusion. "Although I don't know how you resisted the erosion of the evil field, if you're looking for some evil dragon treasure, I can tell you directly that there isn't one here."

"And if you intend to break the seal on the World Tree, I can tell you that with your meager spiritual pressure, it's simply impossible."

Xia Feng ignored the bird and instead looked up and down at the gray-haired woman sitting with her eyes closed in front of him.

So, how do I absorb evil energy?

Faced with this humanoid sea formed purely of Evil Spirit Liquid, he was momentarily at a loss as to how to begin.

Xia Feng looked at the woman's snow-white, slender neck adorned with a star sapphire and pondered, "How about I lick it?"
Hmm, it seems a little bit perverted.
Moreover, looking at the surface of her skin, there seemed to be no trace of the Evil Spirit Liquid. He took a closer look and then discovered that a faint grayish liquid was flowing between the woman's red lips.

"Thump—thump thump thump!"

His heart raced again, and as if sensing something, Xia Feng's dark eyes widened suddenly.

He reached out and lifted the gray-haired woman's upturned chin, forcing her red lips to slightly part. Instantly, wisps of dark, ink-like air gently drifted from between her lips and tongue!
"Human, how dare you!" Black Crow cried out in shock and anger, not expecting the human to be so bold.

Before it could react, Xia Feng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly lowered his head to half an inch in front of the gray-haired woman's lips, taking a deep, intoxicating breath—the solidified black mist immediately began to flow into Xia Feng's mouth in wisps.

This scene resembles a majestic empress sitting high on her throne being held by the jaw by a male fox spirit, who is sucking out her yin energy.

Xia Feng was completely absorbed in the pleasure, a wave of ecstasy washing over him, making his spine and nerves feel weak. He felt his whole body trembling, wanting only more! More! But—

"Well!!"

He abruptly took two steps back, tightly covering his mouth, his eyes wide, "Hiccup~~~"

But in the end, he couldn't resist, his chest lifted, and he let out a burp.

Wow, I ate too much?!
[Activity Remaining: 7 days, 5 hours, and 02 minutes]

One puff lasts for seven days, I guess I need to find a way to puff every day!
Although seven days is not a long time, as long as he is willing to absorb more and absorb all of Miss Evil Dragon's skin, he will be able to live forever!

Previously, those other methods outside only took a few minutes or hours to add, which was very inefficient.

This shows that the concentration of evil energy in Miss Evil Dragon's body is indeed terrifyingly high.

"Hiccup~~"

His throat pounded, his eyes widened, and he covered his mouth, but the cool, vanilla-scented breath still escaped from his mouth and nose. Thump-thump—his burning heart swelled and contracted rapidly.

For some reason, he vaguely sensed that as his activity increased, the Demon Heart was being repaired, and a mysterious power seemed about to burst forth, granting him unprecedented strength—

But this eerie illusion only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

Xia Feng shook his head. Although he was a little confused, he was certain that as long as he accumulated a lot of activity, the Demon Heart would undergo a qualitative change and generate new abilities!
Thinking of this, his gaze toward Miss Evil Dragon burned even brighter.

Unfortunately, there is a limit to how much evil energy he can absorb.

If there were no upper limit, he might be able to devour all the evil power in the entire Nightmare Realm, annihilate the entire Nightmare race, and become invincible.

The enhancement of activity through devouring evil energy depends on the amount of evil energy devoured and the intensity of spiritual pressure.

His spiritual pressure is currently only at the first level, and he can only withstand a maximum of 7 days' worth of energy at a time.

To absorb it again, we have to wait until the next day.

It's like having a 24-hour cooldown after unleashing your ultimate skill.

In other words, he still has to stay here until he has absorbed enough vital energy before leaving the forbidden area. But that would be a huge waste of time.

Moreover, according to the textbook, with his current spiritual pressure, his soul can only be separated from his body for a maximum of 24 hours, otherwise there is a risk of his soul being scattered.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to stay here for an extended period of time.
This is troublesome; we need to think of a solution.
"how did you do that?"

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice rang out behind him. Xia Feng was startled and turned around abruptly, only to find that Black Crow had flown behind him at some point, its deep, star-like gray eyes staring intently at him.

Xia Feng smiled without saying a word. There were only two possibilities for the black crow to appear here: either it was the guardian of the seal, or it was a companion that was sealed together with the evil dragon.

Judging from Black Crow's angry shout of "Human, how dare you!", the latter possibility is more likely, and it is very likely that he is either a subordinate of the evil dragon or his lover?

But Black Crow's voice sounds like a woman in her thirties?
Well, it's not impossible for same-sex couples to be together.

"Human, I'll ask you one last time, how did you do that?!"

"It seems this is very important to you," Xia Feng said earnestly. "Ms. Black Crow, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and this is mine."

"If you utter another word, I'll kill you!" Black Crow's cold tone was filled with murderous intent.

"..." Xia Feng spread his hands and pursed his lips, "Obviously, I can absorb evil energy, but there is a daily limit."

"I have eyes, get to the point! I need to know why you, in a human body, can absorb such a terrifying concentration of evil energy?"

"Then just kill me." Xia Feng raised his head, his face full of fearlessness.

Seeing the human before him looking so fearless, Black Crow narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a while, and then suddenly his murderous intent vanished. His cold tone also changed, becoming light and lazy as he chuckled, "Very good, you have guts."

"In that case, human, let's make a deal."

"A deal?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled.

"Yes."

With a flutter of its feathers, the black crow landed back on the branch, looking down and laughing, "I can see that you desperately need a high concentration of evil energy, but you can't stay here for long, can you?"

Xia Feng nodded: "So?"

"Do you see that spatial spirit array?"

Following the gaze of the black crow, Xia Feng discovered a blood-red platform, one meter in diameter, not far away, with sacred and intricate patterns engraved on it.

"This is a summoning spatial array made of abyssal stone, called 'Gate to the World'. Once you have gathered the summoning materials and inscribed the array, you can open this gate anywhere in the world and enter this forbidden area."

The required materials are very simple, consisting of only five: faded ink, elephant-spotted fish blood, boundless stone, dragon god's spirit particles, and world tree branch powder.

The black crow rattled on and on, and Xia Feng roughly understood it. He pointed to the gray-haired woman on the throne and asked, "So, you want me to come here every day to absorb her evil energy?"

Could there really be such a windfall? He was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help but be puzzled by Black Crow's motives.

"Why, don't you want to?"

"I'm willing," Xia Feng suddenly thought, then asked suspiciously, "but I have a question. Could this evil power be used to seal the evil dragon?"

At this point, he became increasingly convinced of the possibility, his eyes widening. "You want me to break the seal?"

"Heh~ You're overthinking it."

Black Crow sneered disdainfully, "With your meager abilities, you wouldn't be able to absorb all the evil power from Him even if you absorbed it for tens of thousands of years."

"Then why."

"While we can't break the seal, awakening it is still possible," Black Crow said in a slightly somber tone. "Awaken the evil dragon?" Xia Feng frowned. Although he couldn't definitively say what kind of dragon this evil dragon was, being sealed here meant that it was at least half the time likely not a good dragon.
After a moment's hesitation, he coughed and said, "Um, Ms. Black Crow, you might not know this, but the outside world doesn't have a very good reputation for Him; they call Him an evil dragon. You might also not know this, but I value my reputation above all else. If people find out that I was the one who awakened the evil dragon, then—"

"You haven't achieved spiritual liberation yet, have you? I have a way to give you 100% spiritual liberation," Black Crow said calmly.

“That’s not impossible!” Xia Feng’s tone shifted, his dark eyes gleaming. “Ms. Black Crow, you’re such a kind person! I’m willing to sacrifice my precious reputation to help you!”

Black Crow: "."

The term "spiritual liberation," or soul unsealing, refers to the fact that everyone's soul contains mysterious spiritual energy. Only by releasing this energy through special methods and forming a "spiritual artifact" can one use this spiritual energy from the soul.

Everyone's "spiritual weapon" is different. Even if he synchronizes with Mu Qingtong's strength, his "spiritual weapon" will be different from Mu Qingtong's.

This might be the only way for Mu Qingtong to widen the gap between him and him.

Similarly, this is the only way for him to surpass the World-Destroying Witch.

Under normal circumstances, the only way to summon one's own "spiritual weapon" is in cases of intense emotional fluctuations or the moment of death, in which case it is possible to perceive the "spiritual weapon" and release it.

However, this "possibility" is highly subjective.

Some spiritual masters have faced hundreds of death crises in their lives without achieving spiritual liberation, while others have successfully achieved spiritual liberation on their very first death crisis.

In short: it's all about fate.

So when Lady Black Crow said she could help him achieve a 100% success rate in spiritual liberation, he was naturally excited.

As for whether awakening the evil dragon would be a bad thing, well, with his flexible moral compass, he might think it's bad one second and then think it's good, very good, excellent!
Moreover, he does indeed need the continuous supply of evil energy from Miss Evil Dragon's body.

This was a completely risk-free and highly profitable deal, and he had no reason to refuse.

"This is a branch of the World Tree."

Black Crow snapped off a branch with its beak and threw it down. "When you use it, grind it into powder. Use 1g each time you inscribe an array. As for the fading ink, elephant-spotted fish blood, and Boundless Stone, you'll have to find those yourself. Again, the dosage is 1g."

"What about the Dragon God's spiritual essence?" Xia Feng asked.

Black Raven looked at the throne: "Touch His hair."

Xia Feng reached out as instructed. As Black Crow chanted a strange phrase, a strand of the woman's cloud-gray hair disintegrated in Xia Feng's hand, turning into spiritual particles that flowed into his brow. It was only then that he realized that he no longer had the crazy desire to devour the evil dragon lady alive. He even felt somewhat bored.

Is this what they call—

Wise man time!
Pulling-

The black crow landed again in front of Xia Feng, its dark eyes staring directly into his pupils, its lazy tone flat, "Human brat, don't resist. This is the knowledge of the array inscription for the 'Gate to the World,' remember it."

Xia Feng felt a sharp pain in his head and instinctively covered his head, bending over with cold sweat pouring down his back. So this is what it feels like to have knowledge forcibly inserted into your head?
It feels so full, so bloated, and so painful!
After waiting for a while, he finally recovered. This feeling was completely different from that of Mu Qingtong.

When Mu Qingtong imparted her knowledge to him, it was a pleasant and comfortable feeling.

But Lady Black Crow is different; she's extremely ruthless! Xia Feng shook his head and looked up, saying, "Alright, Lady Black Crow, what is the method for 100% spiritual liberation?"

"Oh, you said this."

The black crow fluttered back to the branch, and a lazy female voice chuckled, "I'll tell you next time you come in."

"Aha?"

"How do I know if you're capable of coming back? What if you stand me up?" Black Crow's eyes turned cold as he snorted, "I hate pigeons the most, you little human brat. You'd better not disappoint me."

Hearing her words, Xia Feng nodded in agreement, which made perfect sense. Besides, he had already gained a great deal, so there was no need to rush.

"That's settled then, Ms. Black Crow. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Hmm." Black Crow closed his eyes.

But after a short while, the black-haired human youth turned around again, scratching his head awkwardly, and said, "Um, how do I get out of this place?"

Black Crow: "."

"I really don't understand how you managed to break in." She was speechless. In the past, everyone who could enter this forbidden land was a top-notch expert. Unlike this little brat, who was utterly useless.

Although those powerful figures all died tragically.
"Hey kid, come here." Black Crow felt a bit tired and wasn't sure if it was reliable to place his hopes on such a low-level spiritual master.

It flapped its wings and flew down from the branch again.

Xia Feng approached as instructed, and saw Black Crow touch his forehead with its feather, its lazy tone both light and solemn: "Return to the Spirit!"

Xia Feng felt a moment of dizziness, and in the midst of the spinning world, he vaguely heard the Black Crow's lazy, mature voice coldly snorting, "Little brat, if you dare to play tricks on me, you'll be sorry!"

Woo—

Xia Feng suddenly opened his eyes, looking around in astonishment. In the midst of the swirling snow, giant trees lay scattered about, and Qi Xiao's corpse was right beside him.

"Am I... directly returning to my original form?" He raised his hands in surprise. "'Returning to Spirit,' huh? This spirit robe is quite nice."

Thinking it over, he didn't linger and quickly returned to the black hole that had ejected him.

The black hole is slowly shrinking, and it's estimated that it will be repaired and disappear in a few hours.

At that point, there really wouldn't be a way back to the lower Equinoxes.

Without further hesitation, he stepped straight into the black hole.

"how long it has been?"

Wei Shutong walked to Zhao Jie's side, looked at the gloomy forest covered in blood, and asked in confusion.

Zhao Jie glanced at his watch and chuckled mysteriously, "Eight hours and nineteen minutes, Lao Wei. It seems your adopted son is quite capable, managing to fight my disciple for so long."

Wei Shutong remained expressionless, looking up at the blood-red moon in the sky, and offered no rebuttal.

After all, even spiritual masters at the same stage can have significant differences due to various reasons.

Even if Xia Feng is a genius, he has only just advanced to the first-level spirit master and hasn't even had time to learn how to make a few spirit robes. Qi Xiao, on the other hand, has been a first-level spirit master for so many years. Whether it's the number of spirit robes, the intensity of spiritual pressure, the nerve reaction, or the combat experience, Xia Feng can't compare.

The difference is quite obvious.

He couldn't think of any way Xia Feng could defeat Qi Xiao. The best outcome would be to use some mutually destructive methods to fight Qi Xiao to a standstill.

However, the probability of this is extremely low, and even if it succeeds, the person will be crippled.

"Old Wei, how about you transfer this million to me first?" Zhao Jie patted Wei Shutong on the shoulder and chuckled, "Although the bet is one million, if you transfer it now, I'll only take five hundred thousand from you, how about that?"

Wei Shutong, impeccably dressed in a suit and leaning on his cane, spoke calmly: "Stop with the fancy stuff, just wait and see how it goes."

After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest and said no more.

"Heh~" Zhao Jie knew that this Wei was just putting on a brave face. He didn't expose him, but just chuckled mockingly. It wouldn't be too late to ridicule this cripple after Qi Xiao returned.
