I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 572. Dragon Heart Flame: Origin of Heart Fire
As night fell, the traffic continued unabated, and the streetlights began to illuminate the scene.

After more than a year of development, Mu Shen's reputation has already spread throughout the entire empire.

This economic center of the fifteenth region also boasts a highly developed entertainment industry.

Everywhere you look, there are magnificent posters of Mu Qingtong—in the deep temple, Mu Qingtong, wearing a long, dark dress with a cinched waist, her silver hair crowned with a snow crystal crown, sits elegantly on the Black Abyss Throne, her golden eyes looking down at the earth with a cold and majestic gaze.

This is the album cover of Mu Shen's "King", which is very imposing.

"I must say, Miss Mu, you do indeed have the air of an emperor." Xia Feng looked through the car window at the woman in the black dress in the giant poster on the skyscraper under the bustling night sky, and sighed.

The woman in the black dress leaned back on the sofa, lazily resting her chin on her hand, her eyes closed as if she were dozing.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of the towering bronze building.

They had already discussed it on the way. The three women would first rest at the Bronze Building, which had a well-equipped laboratory that could quickly prepare the ascension liquid for becoming a Venerable.

Xia Feng then went to find Teacher Freya.

Before parting ways with Teacher Fu at Helian City's Dongsheng Fortress, Teacher Fu said she was preparing to return to the Fourth Gatekeeper and regain power, and that I could come to her if needed.

As the daughter of Shang Juezhuguo and Ye Lidongjun's nominal wife, it wouldn't be difficult for Teacher Fu to regain power in the military's upper echelons.

Especially as the daughter of a pillar of the state, she might know some secrets.

Therefore, Xia Feng decided to go find her and find out how well the Empire's higher-ups controlled Sirius.

When Xia Feng parted ways with Teacher Fu last time, he bestowed upon her a pale seal without a thought imprint, which could prevent all means of memory probing and also had a location function.

Xia Feng quickly determined the direction based on the feeling conveyed by the seal.

However, to his surprise, as they continued to move forward, Teacher Fu's position also began to shift rapidly.

Xia Feng frowned and chased after them, quickly leaving the city and entering a vast forest in the western suburbs.

Sky Fortress

Ten thousand meters above Litian City, a majestic fortress, resembling a primordial beast, sits amidst the clouds.

Countless Silverlight airships sped around us, their searchlights and infrared beams scanning the surroundings.

Jin Yanghong emerged from the void, carrying the deathly pale-faced youth as he landed on the take-off and landing platform.

It took him a full ten minutes to pass through layers of checks before he finally arrived at a garden.

Although it was night, the garden felt like a sunny afternoon. White gardenias bloomed on both sides of the cobblestone path, their fragrance delightful.

Jin Yanghong knew that Princess Freya liked flowers, especially gardenias.

Therefore, Ye Lidong also fell in love with gardenias.

After walking through the lush foliage, the path came to an end. A young man sat in a wheelchair, gazing up at the bright moonlight through the glass window.

The stars shine.

"Thud—" Jin Yanghong threw Qin Luo to the ground, his tone calm and respectful, "Mr. Dongjun, the person you requested has been brought."

He was actually Ye Lidongjun's elder, much older than Ye Lidongjun, but Ye Lidongjun was a favorite of Shang Jue and was especially valued by the lord.

Therefore, even though Jin Yang Hong is the younger brother of the head of the powerful Jin Yang family, he still has to address Ye Lidong as "sir".

Behind the young man in the wheelchair stood a tall woman with an expressionless face. Her long, dark hair, which fell to her shoulders and neck, was neatly cut into a princess style. A bright red, flowing character for "sword" was carved on the side of her right almond-shaped eye. She exuded a cold and aloof aura.

This man was named Kenshin, one of Ye Lidongjun's trusted attendants. Kenshin moved his wheelchair backward and turned it.

The young man had a light blue blanket covering his lap.

His gray hair fell across his forehead, his slightly effeminate, handsome face was fair, and his eyes were two-toned, one blood red and the other sea blue, like two bewitching gems, which made his temperament even more mysterious and extraordinary.

He glanced indifferently at Qin Luo, who was groaning on the ground, nodded, and raised his eyes, his voice gentle: "Well done."

"The Sumeru Throne is about to open, and we have very little time left," Jin Yanghong asked. "And the Saintly Liberation Ceremony still requires one last Dragon King-level being. Does Mr. Dongjun have any plans?"

Mentioning this, the heterochromatic-eyed youth narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the moonlight outside the window: "The plan has already begun."

As he spoke, he turned back and said calmly, "This matter may require your assistance."

"Appreciate further details."

Jin Yang Hong knew that even if Qin Luo was captured, Ye Li Dongjun would find it difficult to complete the Saint Liberation Ceremony.

The dragon king-level divine half-dragon discovered in the Black Moon Church in District 20 perfectly fills the last vacancy.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed to capture it, and instead, a genius from the Ye Li clan died.

Although we now know that the divine half-dragon is suspected to be Jiang Qiu'e's servant, it will take at least half a month, or even a month, for Jiang Qiu'e to travel from Yongliuhai in the 18th District to the 15th District.

Furthermore, it's unknown whether Jiang Qiu'e will change course midway and choose not to return to the Black Moon General Court.

Therefore, after the capture attempt using the Ice God's remains as a trap failed, Ye Lidongjun could no longer wait.

To gain an advantage in the upcoming struggle for the Sumeru Throne, he must complete the Holy Liberation as soon as possible and greatly enhance his combat power.

Jin Yanghong couldn't fathom how Ye Lidongjun could possibly find or even enslave a third Dragon King-level half-dragon.

"Six months ago, when I participated in the siege of Sirius, I was ambushed by Sirius and cursed by a divine relic called the Shameful Eight Eyes."

As Ye Lidongjun explained, he recalled the scene when he was cursed.

[The curse of the God of Shame: If you kill the owner of the Eight Eyes of Shame (the other party's body and soul die), you will be cursed by the God of Shame and become the host of the Eight Eyes of Shame.]

The host must complete eight shameful acts within one year; failure to do so will result in punishment from the curse of the spirit of shame.

[Note: The eight most shameful things in the mind of the cursed host]

[Note: Curse Lifting: Successfully completing eight shameful acts will grant you the reward of the Shameful Spirit Curse.]

【Note】

[You have selected the final reward: Long Xinyan]

[Currently completed shameful task: 5/8]

When he was first cursed, he thought it was a troublesome thing, and he was so unhappy that he only wanted to kill that ignorant Sirius again.

However, it was later discovered that Long Xinyan was among the rewards in the rules.

Dragon Heart Flame, also known as Origin Heart Flame, is an Origin-type divine object. It is as rare as the Origin Egg and has long been extinct.

Its specific function is similar to that of the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo; it can repair the soul and restore memories.

However, its range of repair functions is much wider than that of the Sky-Mending Stone Embryo. It can also repair the physical body, repair emotions, and—repair the bloodline!
It can allow imperfect or incomplete bloodlines to trace back to their origins and form a primal force.

For example, if a half-dragon with the divine bloodline of the Dragon King fails in an experiment, using Dragon Heart Flame, along with a large amount of Dragon Blood Crystals, can repair and evolve this incomplete half-dragon into a complete Dragon King-level bloodline!
