I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 866. The Method of Copying Authority and Spiritual Artifacts!

At the same time, the moment the number of Pope's Ember Stones appeared, Xia Feng vaguely understood some key points.

The old Pope bought the 'Parasite' in the last round of auction, and its target was none other than himself, the Spade in seat number 9!

Damn it! Xia Feng sighed helplessly, parasites are really hard to guard against.

He parasitized Kim Shi-in, relentlessly exploiting him, but little did he know that the mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind, and Pope Old Deng parasitized him!

They truly reap the benefits without lifting a finger!

Zong Yue's desperate attempts to stop Jin Yangtian from killing him were probably due to his alliance with the Pope!
After all, the longer Xia Feng lives in this round, the more Ember Stones he will obtain, and thus the more Ember Stones the Pope may obtain!
So, all the Ember Stones he gained during the settlement phase were 'parasitically copied' by Pope Old Deng!
Thinking about this, Xia Feng was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath. Now he finally understood what it felt like to be taken advantage of.

He, Xia, has always been the one to get freebies from others, but today he's the one getting freebies!

hateful! !
Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that Zong Yue is actually an ally of the Pope.

If this conjecture is true...

Ms. Mi, who has close ties with Zong Yue, is most likely also an ally of the Pope! The two have reached some kind of exchange of interests.

The more Xia Feng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and even felt that something was amiss.

In this battle of Sumeru, it's normal for two sides to form alliances, such as Jin Shiyin and Jin Yangtian, and him and Huang Zhaoyue.

But a three-way alliance? What's the point of playing? They're practically invincible.

[Since one player already has more than 900 Embers, the power of the Throne of Sumeru is now revealed—]

You don't need to announce it; we all know it's just to seize His divine status.

If it weren't for the celestial spiritual energy, Xia Feng wouldn't really want to go to such lengths to obtain the Sumeru Throne.

However, the next moment, as the information about the power of authority was revealed, Xia Feng was completely stunned.

[Sumeru Throne]

[A divine relic of celestial level (currently being transformed into a divine relic)]

[By wielding the power of Mount Sumeru, you can seize the creation of heaven and earth, and comprehend the divine abilities of all things. You may ascend the throne, seal the divinity of all things, thereby seizing the divine status of all realms and proving your own path to true godhood!]

"Ok?"

Xia Feng leaned back tactically, and the phrase "sealing the divinity of all things" caught his attention.

What is divinity?
With Xia Feng's limited understanding of the realm of gods, authority is synonymous with divinity.

Once a Spirit Master reaches the Sage Realm, they are qualified to authorize their Dao Fruit or Spiritual Artifact. This process of authorization is the process of giving birth to divinity.

Once authority is fully realized, one can attain the path of the true God!
Of course, in theory one can ascend to godhood by dwelling in darkness, but no one can actually attain true godhood while dwelling in darkness.

Humanity's path to godhood has always been a process where, after achieving the Great Perfection of the Five Paths of Enlightenment, one enters the realm of Sagehood and then the realm of Enlightenment, only then can one have the chance to seize that final ray of divine light.

Of course, the divine light is not important.

What Xia Feng truly cares about is that the process of temporarily slowing down and sealing the power of the Sumeru Throne can be achieved!
He clearly remembered that the Black Moon Pope's S-grade spiritual artifact, Guixu Dream Evolution, was at 1.51% in terms of authority transformation.

If Xia Feng wants to copy a Spirit Artifact with Authority Transformation, he can only copy those with Authority Transformation progress below 0.1%.

This is why, even though the Black Moon Pope's artifact was right in front of him, he was unable to obtain it for a long time.

Very greedy.

Unexpectedly, the solution to this problem was also right in front of us.

It is the Sumeru Throne!

I'm speechless. That idiot Yue Hongli didn't even explain the crucial workings of the Sumeru Throne to him.

This led him to believe that the Sumeru Throne was of little use except for the spiritual energy of the heavens.

Now it seems that he really must get this Sumeru Throne!

Otherwise, it would be a real shame to have put in so much effort over the past few months.

[Auction Phase Begins—] [This Round's Items (2): Level 3 Boundary Destruction, Level 3 Boundary Destruction]

[Note: Each increment must not be less than 10]

[The boundary disappeared, resulting in no further bidding in the previous round; the starting price remains unchanged.]

【Function: You can designate any one of the nine domains or one realms to cause all seat holders in that domain/realm to die and be eliminated!】

Starting bid: 200 per ticket

Two realms vanished?! Everyone was shocked.

As soon as the information displayed on the central platform appeared, Tu Lin raised his sign without hesitation and muttered, "271."

Seize the opportunity.

"."

A silence fell over the room.

In Xia Feng's opinion, the Realm Annihilation card should sell for at least 400+.

Unfortunately, Ms. Mi only has 271 Ember Stones. The Pope and Xia Feng could easily outbid Tu Lin, but the situation has now reached a fever pitch.

Whichever of the two spends a high price to buy this realm's demise will give the other more time and opportunities.

And to be honest, while the "Domain Annihilation" card can indeed cause mass kills, if you have level 3 "Invincible" which can negate one instance of damage, its usefulness seems less significant.

For this reason, neither Xia Feng nor the Pope made a bid, and the card was given to Tu Lin.

The digital light stream on the central platform flashed from 3 to 1, and with a crisp ringing sound, the light stream transformed into the word "Transaction".

[Congratulations to the third player for obtaining the 'Level 3 Item Card - Realm Annihilation']

As for the second realm's demise, it was still no surprise; no one competed with Tu Lin for it.

Win again with 271 Emberstones!
[Now entering the fourth sub-stage - designating the Black King!]

[Speaking privileges for all players are now enabled]

The dark space was gradually illuminated, and the figures on each tall pillar became visible.

"Hehe~" The ghost bride covered her mouth and chuckled. As the lantern in her hand swayed, more than two hundred fiery red embers soared into the air and flew straight to the Black Moon Pope.

"Old man, the situation is clear now. The next step is to see if you can find that little mouse."

As she spoke in an affected manner, she tilted her pretty face and seemed to glance in Xia Feng's direction, "Just a heads up, our mysterious Spade Lord just used some kind of mysterious method to kill Jin Yangtian in a few seconds. He's really not simple."

The Pope, draped in a divine robe and hood, received the Ember Stone the instant it was taken.

The ranking information has changed.

First Place - No. 8: 1151 pieces

Second place, No. 9: 960 pieces

Third Place, No. 1: 30 (Huang Zhaoyue)
Fourth place, No. 3: 1 (Tu Lin)

Fifth place, No. 5/6: 0 (Zong Yue, Ms. Mi)

Nos. 2, 4, and 7 have been eliminated.
[Note: One player already has more than 1000 Embers]

"."

Xia Feng sighed and facepalmed. He was speechless. "You guys have actually formed an alliance!"

He couldn't understand what Ms. Mi and Zong Yue's purpose was.
These two helped the Black Moon Pope obtain the Sumeru Throne, so what earth-shattering benefits could the Black Moon Pope help them gain?

Could there be something more important to Lady Mi and Zong Yue than the Sumeru Throne?
