I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 461. Divine Power Seal
In the dim void, the huge white slit containing blood-red light slowly opened like an eye.

Suddenly, a giant hand with three red lines connected to its back, its skin as pale as a corpse, emerged from the crevice of bloody light.

Like the giant hand of Buddha, it instantly crushed down upon Xia Feng.

Xia Feng's expression changed slightly as he retreated into the Holy Knight Space, but the space shattered like a broken mirror with a crackling sound.

In an instant, it was as if death had descended. His nerves were on edge, knowing that he was powerless to fight back. However, his mind was racing, weighing whether he should return directly to the Evil Dragon Space.

In the end, he decided to take the risk and did not choose to use any more means. He was picked up like a chick by a Buddha-like hand and began to ascend into the air.

They retreated back into the spatial rift along with the giant hand.

Standing to the side, He Jianzhu looked up at this scene, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, but she didn't seem too flustered. With a calm expression, she took a step and leaped into the spatial rift.

At the same time, the Faceless Ones on the battlefield were sucked into the white vortex that appeared behind them.

Although Bai Nuo was puzzled, she still grabbed the bone snake man and the spider man, jumped into the vortex, and disappeared.

The void quickly returned to darkness and silence, leaving only scattered pebbles floating quietly.

Xia Feng's vision went black for a moment, but then his vision gradually cleared, and a hellish scene of undead struggling and howling in an endless sea of ​​lava came into view.

Xia Feng looked down and realized that he was standing on a cliff.

But that's not the point. The point is that his heart suddenly started beating faster without warning. The rapid, pounding beat made him feel tinnitus and mentally disoriented.

As if sensing something, he turned around and saw a towering, almost endless giant tower standing in the void. The tower was thousands of meters high, and its walls were as black as ink, with strange runes and patterns carved and engraved on them, making it mysterious and majestic.

In addition, countless bronze-cast iron chains run through the tower, intertwining upwards in a cage-like pattern, reaching straight into the clouds.

"Thump thump thump—" Xia Feng's heart tightened and his breathing became rapid. He clearly sensed that the giant tower in front of him was the Refining God Tower, which had a very strong connection with the Heart of the Calamity Demon.

Although he really wanted to go inside the tower immediately, Xia Feng suppressed his excitement, lowered his eyes, and looked down.

At the base of the tower, there is a majestic throne built of blood. A mysterious being dressed in a long black robe sits casually on it, his messy white hair falling down his back, and the hideous Nuo mask covering his face slowly rises.

Xia Feng clearly felt a strange gaze sweep over his entire body, and he seemed to hear countless whispers mixed with countless sharp, eerie laughs that made his hair stand on end.

"Ri Nuo, have you now stooped so low as to bully a junior to show off your power?" A woman's soft voice rang out. Xia Feng felt a hand gently pat his right shoulder from behind, and the eerie voice and terrifying pressure in his ears instantly dissipated.

He glanced back and saw that He Jianzhu had followed him in at some point, her gaze gentle.

"Oh?" The man's expression was obscured by the grotesque Nuo mask, but his tone was full of interest. "Moon Princess, you've been fleeing the Demon Sea for so many years, yet now you've walked right into their trap because of a human? What, is this ant your son?"

You guessed right!

He Jianzhu smiled, gently patted Xia Feng's head with her delicate hand, and said with a tender look, "He is indeed my son."

"?" Xia Feng raised an eyelid and slapped her hand away.

"Alright, since he's your son, that makes things easier."

Ri Nuo said indifferently, "If you are unwilling to lift the seal for me, then your son can do it instead. That's not impossible."

Xia Feng couldn't stand the way she was addressed and grabbed He Jianzhu's waist, saying, "To be clear, I'm her husband!"

"Both son and husband?" The man's mask tilted slightly. "Yueji, after all these years, you've certainly got some fun." He Jianzhu: ".?!"

Moon Princess? Xia Feng thought to himself, didn't this woman just say that Suna was sealed here by Moon Princess?
So, Tsukihime is herself?
According to official information, both Ri Nuo and Yue Ji are disciples of the Second Gatekeeper and are near-godlike beings at the sage level.

However, Xia Feng always felt that He Jianzhu's identity was more than that.

After all, He Jianzhu possesses the bizarre ability of fluid splitting, so it's hard to say whether the identity of 'Moon Princess' might also be one of her fluid splitting abilities.

If the sage-level fluid divider is truly like that, then He Jianzhu's origins must be terrifying.

“Plop, plop—”

The continuous splashing sounds attracted Xia Feng's attention, and he turned around to look.

Centered on the base of the tower, nine chains form a high bridge that extends outward in a ring.

Beneath the bridge, crimson magma boiled and surged, while above it lay scattered Nightmare creatures, captured by the Faceless Ones.

These creatures all carry the Blood Mist of Calamity. Although its repair effect is not as good as the Blood Mist of Calamity, as long as the amount is large enough, the effect is actually the same.

According to Xia Feng's observation, the bodies of those creatures pushed into the magma were melted, but their souls did not disintegrate.

After a brief struggle and wailing, the souls, protected by the Blood Mist of Calamity, drifted through the magma and converged at the base of the central tower.

At the base of the tower, countless transparent spirits had gathered, their faces contorted in a ferocious manner, their densely packed bodies creating a terrifying sight.

It gave Xia Feng a bit of trypophobia.

Moreover, Xia Feng keenly observed that there were several familiar faces among them, which should be the Nightmare Clan creatures he had encountered on his way to the Refining God Tower.

No wonder he didn't encounter many living creatures after entering the Sea of ​​Calamity; they had all been captured and brought here.

"Insects, do you know what those creatures are for?" Ri Nuo's indifferent voice rang out.

Xia Feng glanced up at the man on the throne. "You went to so much trouble to bring me in, you must have something to gain. Just say it, what do you want?"

“Very good, you are much more pragmatic than that man who divides the world.” The masked man leaned back lazily on his throne, tapped the armrest with his knuckles, and waved to Bai Nuo beside him.

Bai Nuo's spiral eyes narrowed slightly, rotating clockwise, and he explained in a voice:

"More than a thousand years ago, Father was ambushed and sealed here by Yue Ji using her divine power. Ha~ She thought Father would never rise again, but she never expected that Father had obtained the divine relic, the Tower of Divine Refinement, in his early years."

"Although this tower is dilapidated, it still has remarkable effects against divine power, even primordial divine power, and can easily break the divine power seal set up by Princess Yue—"

“Knock knock—” Ri Nuo knocked on the armrest, looked up and said indifferently, “Bai Nuo.”

Bai Nuo knew that his father didn't like his rambling and pointless talk, so he had no choice but to get straight to the point.

"But opening or even using the Refining God Tower is no easy feat! It requires not only a large amount of Evil Heart Demon Blood, but also a large number of high-quality living spirits. Meeting these conditions is no less difficult than..."

"..." Xia Feng listened in silence for a long time, but found that this guy still hadn't said what he was going to do by going through all that trouble to bring him in.
