I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 714. Possession of Xia Feng
At this moment, the array on the ground lit up again, and Xia Feng then discovered that there was an even more advanced array beneath the 'Nightmare Corridor' array.

Countless complex streams of spiritual light formed a circuit, this time centered on him, taking shape in an instant.

Amidst the Star River Waterfall, Depths suddenly opened his eyes, and a divine power erupted from the depths of his murky gaze, captivating all who beheld him.

Xia Feng's pupils shrank abruptly, his eye sockets instantly filled with divine golden light, leaving him rooted to the spot, unable to move.

[You have been attacked by the S-rank Spiritual Artifact - Return to the Void Dream - Sub-Spiritual Artifact]

[Error - Unable to copy]

[Power consolidation: 1.12%]

[1. Reduce the target artifact's authority level to below 0.1% to continue copying.]

[After achieving complete enlightenment, one gains the power to copy, allowing for further copying.]

Xia Feng felt a sharp pain in his head, and a giant phantom radiating golden light appeared in the sky outside his spiritual sea, as if it were about to cross over into the realm.

[Possession!]

The word flashed through Xia Feng's mind: Guixu Mengyan is a spiritual artifact with the ability to possess another's body!
Why would Depp possess him? No, that's not right. The artifact belongs to the Pope. Could it be that the Pope wants to possess him? Countless questions flashed through Xia Feng's mind.

The divine giant ignored the multiple layers of spiritual pressure protection surrounding the spiritual matter and landed directly on the spherical surface of the spiritual matter.

It's like a giant descending from outer space onto the Earth, constantly trampling the land, attempting to enter the Earth's core and take its place.

Xia Feng's spiritual energy surged forth continuously, resisting the giant's invasion.

After three days of recovery, his mental strength had returned to full, but he was still no match for the giant.

The giant's mental strength is actually at the level of Light Mastery!
At the same time, beside Xia Feng, Mu Qingtong's eyes were also filled with golden light. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her expression became solemn.

The Guixu Dream Artifact had a very strong suppressive effect on her, making her unable to move for a time.

Inside the Star River Waterfall.

Miao Shi's figure slowly emerged from beside Depp, his gaze still kind and gentle, quietly looking at the three outside: "I'm curious, why are you so interested in Xia Feng, and even went to such great lengths to possess him?"

Neither Chanayuki's self-sacrifice nor Xia Feng's possession of her body can happen so quickly.

Depp's aged eyes glanced at the middle-aged woman, and he chuckled gently, "It's because Xia Feng has the Sumeru King's Token on him."

"Wang Ling?" The middle-aged woman was surprised and turned her gaze away. "Wang Ling is on this child?"

"What, Master Miao, do you want to compete with me for it?"

After his initial surprise, Master Miao shook his head: "I follow the path of the Naraku Star God, so I have no interest in the Sumeru Throne. I'm just a little curious, how are you so sure that the Sumeru King's Token is with Xia Feng?"

Depsy smiled without saying a word.

Half a month ago, the Peach-Faced Man appeared at the Sky Beacon Tower, and the Sumeru King's Decree was stolen by the Peach-Faced Man right under his nose.

Later, while watching Ye Lidongjun and others fight at the Sky Fortress, he sensed the same spiritual pressure fluctuations as the Peach-Faced Man through his spiritual artifact.

Even though the Peach-Faced Man was very good at disguising himself, his magical artifact was still slightly superior, letting him know that the Peach-Faced Man was Xia Feng!

It was Xia Feng, this seemingly insignificant kid, who killed Ye Lidongjun! At the time, the battle scene was blocked by a barrier, and people outside could not see the specific situation inside the barrier, but Depp could clearly sense that Xia Feng had used some kind of move to instantly kill Ye Lidongjun.

Depp speculated that Xia Feng must have borrowed the power of some powerful being, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to act so outrageously.

But none of that matters anymore, as long as the Sumeru King's Decree is with this kid.

Seeing that Depp remained silent, Master Miao seemed to be deep in thought and asked again, "Even if he has the Sumeru King's Decree, you could just take it directly. Why bother with possession? It's unnecessary."

Depp said softly:
"In fact, I originally intended to possess Ye Lidongjun's body, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened. That good-for-nothing Ye Lidongjun meticulously planned the Saint Liberation Ceremony, but ended up getting himself involved. He was more of a hindrance than a help."

"Fortunately, although I don't know why, Xia Feng went to great lengths to snatch the Sumeru King Token, so he will most likely have a seat as well."

"There are only nine seats in the competition for the Sumeru Throne. If I can have two seats, and one of them even has the Sumeru King's Token, my advantage will naturally be multiplied."

Upon hearing this, Master Miao nodded calmly: "Your plan is quite shrewd."

Dips glanced at Master Miao, his old eyes narrowing slightly. "Although Chana Xue's talent isn't the most outstanding among the younger generation, it's still considered near first-rate. Combined with your talent, given time, she'll be able to reach the Sage Realm, which you've been unable to attain for so long. With a bit of luck and a special A-grade spiritual artifact, the threshold of the Divine Realm won't be out of reach."

"No wonder Master Miao was not in a hurry at all, even though his Saint Realm cultivation was completely destroyed and his spiritual foundation was sacrificed to the Red Moon. It turns out he already had a way out. Master Miao is very shrewd."

“Scheme?” Master Miao frowned and shook his head slightly. “I just wanted to avenge my student.”

Ha~ Depp's lips curled into a disdainful smile, what a hypocritical old woman.

He had already seen through it, but he didn't expose it again.

News of the internal strife during the Black Moon month spread widely in the underground black market of the surrounding regions.

Also spreading secretly was the news that a large number of Naraku Spirit Masters were about to gather in Black Moon City.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, there will definitely be Naraku spirit masters who want to take the risk and take advantage of the Black Moon's internal turmoil to see what's going on.

This is probably Miao Shi's doing, trying to help Chana Xue quickly achieve enlightenment.

It's just strange that,
"You've patiently waited all these years without making a move on her, so why do you seem so impatient now?" Depp asked. "After all, wouldn't it be most appropriate to wait until Chana Xue advances to the Venerable realm before making your move?"

Upon hearing his words, Master Miao's emotions became unusually unstable, and his peaceful gaze turned cold: "You stole my spiritual foundation. If I don't take action against Naixue now, how can I, a cripple, possibly deal with her once she grows into a Venerable?"

“That’s true.” Depp smiled knowingly. Their plan for the Red Moon’s arrival caught Miao Shi off guard, which forced them to take action against Chana Snow ahead of schedule.
It's no wonder that even though they knew they had ill intentions towards Cha Nayuki, they still didn't give her a clear warning or stop her from returning to the main court.

“We want the authority of the Black Moon, and you want the authority of the Naraku. In that case, our plans are not contradictory at all.”

No conflict? A cold glint flashed in Miao Shici's eyes. Her Saint Realm cultivation had been destroyed. She was originally preparing to break through to the Sage Realm after fusing with Cha Naixue's innate spiritual artifact.

But now, it will take hundreds of years to rebuild it.

But so be it. She's already endured so many years, a few hundred more won't make a difference.

"Alright, enough of this small talk." Master Miao frowned and said, "Xia Feng is no simple man. You should quickly possess his body to prevent him from causing any more trouble."

"Ok?"

Depp let out a soft, doubtful sound, then looked thoughtfully into the distance. "You're right, this kid is really something. His mental strength is far greater than I expected, actually reaching the level of a Dark Sage? Interesting."
