I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 640. Forty-Six Days
Darkness rose and fell before my eyes like a calm tide.

Xia Feng could neither feel light nor hear sound.

He felt himself sinking deeper and deeper into an endless abyss, the accelerating feeling of weightlessness with nowhere to lean on filled him with terror.

However, Xia Feng quickly adapted, and the thought particles in his hazy consciousness showed signs of starting to operate again.

It's like the computer was forced to shut down due to memory overload and then restarted.

However, the restart process is somewhat slow.

The halo in the center kept spinning endlessly, and he was never truly awake.

Fortunately, even though the world is dark and there is no light or sound, as if one is isolated from the world, one's mind can still generate ideas.

He had grown accustomed to this feeling of loneliness, similar to being in a dangerous place.

It was estimated that it would take some time for the spiritual essence to fully restart and return to normal. Xia Feng waited while studying the spiritual artifact.

[Remaining time in Mingde Domain: 8 hours and 12 minutes]

This means he had been unconscious for half a day.

It's been quite a while.

Furthermore, he discovered that he had only 53 obsidian stones left of his previous accumulation, enough to activate Mingde Domain once more.

The Mingde Domain requires a lot of resources, so we need to find a way to collect more obsidian.

[Spiritual Artifact Slots: 6]

After ascending to the Venerable Realm, he gained another permanent spirit artifact slot.

But we are still somewhat strapped for cash.

To reach the next level and obtain 7 permanent artifact slots, one must become a Sage.

The condensation of the second to fifth level of the Venerable Ones cannot elevate him to the Spiritual Artifact level.

Fortunately, the B-grade spirit artifact, the Spirit Artifact Book, can store four additional spirit artifacts.

This gives him the equivalent of having 10 permanent spirit artifact slots.

[Currently possessed Spiritual Artifacts (6/6): 'B-level Spiritual Artifact Book', 'B-level Vermilion Bird Demon Armor', 'Transcendent B-level Spirit Restriction Coin', 'Transcendent A-level Ten-fold Sacred Armor', 'A-level Yin-Yang Mirror', 'Sacred Liberation A-level Absolute Double Pupils']

[Spiritual Map Storage Artifacts (4/4): 'B·Diamond Ring' 'B·Ten Dragons Demon Cannon' 'Transcendent·A·Sacred Hand Guanyin' 'Dispelling Calamity·A·Eye of Mistake']

The Golden Ring was obtained during the process of entering the Sky Fortress. It came from a high-ranking military officer and is considered the most practical of the spiritual artifacts copied from the Mingde Domain.

It can create a barrier called the Vajra Realm within a certain range around itself. Within the Vajra Realm, all short-range spatial abilities of enemies, except for itself, are rendered ineffective. If the target's mental strength is very high, the restrictions of the Vajra Realm can be ignored.

The Eye of Misalignment, originating from the spirit princess Inanxi, can cause the observed life form to lose its sense of space. It can also cause attacks with a physical form to be spatially misaligned, resulting in a physical effect of missing its target.

This magical artifact's abilities are biased towards defense, which actually overlaps somewhat with Absolute Double Pupil.

However, Xia Feng still kept it, since using Absolute Double Pupil was quite taxing, and the Eye of Mistake was kept as a backup.

Thus, Xia Feng discovered that he actually had quite a few permanent magical artifacts.

Five B-grade artifacts and five A-grade artifacts, one of which is an A-grade artifact that has undergone Saint-level interpretation and is a pseudo-S-grade spiritual artifact.
But Xia Feng realized that he was still not satisfied. He really wanted to fill all ten spirit weapon slots to A-grade!
For no other reason than to enjoy watching it!
If all of them are filled to make ten S-level.
Well, that's a bit too ambitious.

He doesn't even have a proper S-grade spiritual artifact yet.

However, surely someone at the Black Moon Church headquarters possesses an S-rank magical artifact?

For example, the Pope?
Xia Feng was really looking forward to it.

Besides the A-grade spiritual artifact, he has also learned quite a bit about the A-grade spiritual garment.

Musashi Tengu, God King Statue (before consuming the Divine Faith Fruit), Blood Spirit Throne, Blood Spirit Construct, Photon Annihilation, Spirit Foundation Infant Transformation.

The Spirit Foundation Infant Transformation, as a legendary A-grade spirit garment, possesses terrifying power, provided that the Spirit Infant used for self-destruction is of a sufficiently high level. Within Xia Feng's spiritual sea, a cluster of light, vaguely condensing into a small figure, floated.

That was the 'Level 4 Spirit Foundation' that Xia Feng had seized from Ye Lidongjun's body using the Spirit Stealing Hand before Ye Lidongjun died, and it was now condensing and transforming into a spirit infant.

A Venerable Fourth-Level Spiritual Infant self-destructing is enough to instantly kill someone of the same realm, and even Venerable Fifth-Level Saints would have to flee in panic to avoid the brunt of the attack.

It must be said that I gained quite a lot from Ye Lidong on this trip.

Besides the pseudo-S-grade spirit artifact and the four sacred spirit bases, there is also the competition for the ninth seat of the Sumeru Throne.

Xia Feng immersed his consciousness into the mirror surface of the Divine Mirror Without a Platform, and then focused it into one of the spiritual artifact light clusters.

On the magical artifact's ball of light, there is a 'Rotation of Life' marker indicating its identity.

Through his senses, Xia Feng quickly obtained the information in his mind.

[Player Sequence: 27]

[Battle Record: Sacrificed 10031 Lost Ones and 99003 Hopeful Ones. Killed 8 players.]

The ninth Wheel of Life game has ended. You have the highest number of life points and are the winner of the ninth wheel, thus obtaining the Sumeru seat.

[Seats: 9]

[46 days until the battle for the Sumeru Throne begins]

[Current Life Points: 2100 (Can be exchanged or transferred during the battle for the Sumeru Throne to gain an advantage)]

[Note 1: Sages and above are not eligible to participate in the throne battle.]

[Note 2: Players can advance to Sage level during the struggle for the throne]

【Note 3】

【.】

There's a lot of information, but it doesn't say how to activate the Sumeru Throne, where to compete for it, or what the specific methods of competition are.

However, Xia Feng speculated that only nine people could participate in the battle for the Sumeru Throne, and perhaps these nine people would be placed on a fixed map for a battle royale.
The only survivor will obtain the Sumeru Throne.

Of course, it is also possible that, similar to before, there will be mutual pursuit and killing throughout the entire Three Realms.

It's impossible for nine people to sit down and play Ludo, right?

While pondering, Xia Feng then focused his consciousness into the Na Shi space, where a crystal-red ancient token floated.

This is the Sumeru King's Token, which was snatched from the Heavenly Lantern Pavilion. It is said that this item can give spirit masters an advantage in the struggle for the Sumeru Throne.

He has now obtained the ninth player's status, but the token still has no effect.

It seems we'll have to wait until the game starts to tell him the specific advantages.

It has to be said that Xia Feng initially had no interest in the Sumeru Throne at all; he participated in the Roulette of Life game purely to use his life points to get something for nothing.

But now, he has become extremely curious.

No one knows what this magical object does that makes so many people flock to it.

Lost in thought, Xia Feng suddenly felt his consciousness and body reconnect.

The sense of touch on the body, the hearing around the ears, and the smell at the tip of the nose are transformed into countless nerve signals that are transmitted into the brain and linked to the spiritual essence.

He inexplicably felt a heaviness on his body, making it hard to breathe, and a faint, refreshing fragrance lingered around his nose.

With a dry throat, Xia Feng struggled to lift his eyelids.
