I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 953. Degradation
Within the Heavenly Gifted Spirit Realm, there remained no movement around the man in black robes.

This turned the onlookers' focused attention into confusion.

what happened?

Does this mean the Abyss Saints don't have any magical artifacts?
Or perhaps, the Abyss Saints' artifacts have also been partially empowered?

Nian Gengcheng frowned, his face full of doubt.

Looking at the back of the giant golden bird stretching across the distant sky, An Xingjia raised his eyes, which were heavily rimmed with dark circles, and his expression was also solemn.

According to intelligence gathered from various sources, the Abyss Saints definitely possess magical artifacts, but their specific effects are unknown.

Therefore, it is more likely that the Abyss Saints have embarked on the path of sages, or at least were once sages, which is why they have the ability to wield authority.

In this light, An Xingjia pondered that the assessment of the Abyss Saints' strength needed to be raised to a higher level.

"It seems today's trip was worthwhile; so many interesting things have happened. Now, let's see what methods the Black Moon Pope has up his sleeve."

Lilith Belle stared at the scene in the celestial mirror, a strange light flashing in her red eyes. Could the Black Moon Pope defeat the Abyss Saints?
But at this moment...

In the Heavenly Mirror World, as the black-robed man looked around, he quickly formed an S-level hand gesture, and as his spiritual particles connected, the surrounding space exploded with near-stellar-level extreme temperatures.

At that moment, the entire Mirror World seemed to freeze, turning purple and blood red in turns. Two seconds later, it truly resembled a shattered mirror, with cracks spreading out inch by inch.

The people on the ground were startled again, their hearts filled with doubt.

The intelligence says that the Abyss Saints will be in the Ember Sun Divine Realm, but this S-rank spirit garment doesn't have the ability to forcibly break through the Heavenly Authority, does it?

Mirror space

As Xia Feng unleashed his Light Eternity Domain, he sensed the world coming to a standstill; this was the Pope casting the Moon Time Divine Domain.

Xia Feng sensed that his rationality was rapidly declining.

Is he going to use the same old trick again? He wondered. Last time in the Sumeru Realm, the Pope tried to lower his sanity first and then possess him.

Unfortunately, his bloodline was of too high a rank, and the Pope's attempt to possess him backfired.

They're actually coming back this time? Haven't they learned their lesson yet?
"I didn't expect that the divinely bestowed authority of Burning Heaven would still have no effect on you."

Ten middle-aged men wearing monocles silently appeared around Xia Feng. As he finished speaking, the number of men increased from ten to twenty, forty, and then eighty.
They multiplied rapidly, forming a densely packed army.

The lower pupil of the monocle was calm and serene, but as tens of thousands of popes raised their right hands in unison and rotated the monocle clockwise, the eye socket was instantly filled with a sinister, seemingly conscious, eerie purple mist.

The entire Heavenly Mirror Space was shrouded in dark purple light and shadow at this moment, and the eerie mist surged and roared, seeping into Xia Feng's soul.

[Within the Mingde Domain, you sense the S-Rank Spiritual Artifact - Returning to the Ruins Dream -]

【Copy? 】

[Authorization rate 1.68%, replication failed—]

To copy a magical artifact, the target's authority conversion progress must be below 0.1%.

[Within the Mingde domain, you are under attack by the Cage of Tides—]

[Cannot be copied]

Sure enough, it's this thing again. Xia Feng is very familiar with this purple mist.

The Black Moon Pope tried to assimilate the minds of the two saintesses with this thing, but failed.

Later, this purple mist enveloped the entire Black Moon City, and the red moon descended, its whereabouts remaining unknown to this day.

Xia Feng still couldn't figure out what the purple mist was, but since even his spiritual artifact couldn't retrieve much information about it, it must be extremely dangerous. He needed to be cautious.

However, since he had chosen to step into this formation, he had already come up with a plan.

While pondering, Xia Feng covered his entire body with the Blood Beast, which was the only ability that could block the purple mist, but it was only a temporary solution.

The purple mist's corrosive power is terrifying; it can counteract and eliminate the blood beast.

This was the first time Xia Feng had ever encountered a substance that could rival the Blood Fiend, rapidly depleting his Blood Fiend reserves.

"Your Excellency Saint was also in Black Moon City back then, so you must have seen this fog before. Today's fog is even stronger than it was back then."

In the dark purple sea of ​​mist, thousands of middle-aged men with identical appearances spoke in unison, their calm and indifferent voices overlapping, "Once corrupted, your thoughts, soul, consciousness, and even concepts will be 'assimilated'."

"Old Pope, could you explain to me in detail what assimilation means? And from which being does this purple mist originate?"

Xia Feng looked up at the endless figures deep in the purple mist. At the same time, a Paladin Space had already been quietly opened behind him, and the Undead Knight clone was drawing the Nash Bow, with pale golden divine arrows exploding on the bowstring.

whoosh-

Just as tens of thousands of Black Moon Popes were about to speak in unison, their pupils suddenly narrowed slightly—it was the aura of the Sumeru Throne!
Although he did not know the specific details of the Sumeru Throne's abilities, he knew that this divine object could seize divinity and temporarily slow down the process of gaining authority.

It's best not to get hit by that arrow!
Fortunately, the Abyss Saints should be unable to find his true form.
Whoosh—the Sinnoh arrow seemed to have an automatic navigation system, turning a corner and flashing towards his main body, which was suspended due east.

His pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, then dilated in an instant like an arrow dropping a frame, striking him squarely between the eyebrows!

[Sumeru Throne]

【Divine Arrow: You can consume spiritual particles to condense a divine arrow. When the arrow hits a target, it can temporarily seal a portion of the target's divinity. The amount sealed depends on the amount of spiritual particles you consume.

Note: As divinity decreases, the progress of authoritative transformation will also decrease simultaneously.

To reduce the target's authority, one must first hit the target, but this is not a difficult task for Xia Feng.

His Nash's Armor and Nash's Bow have a 100% accuracy characteristic; they will continue to track the target unless destroyed.

With the Eye of Deconstruction used to see through the true form of the Black Moon Pope, hitting this old man shouldn't be difficult.

Of course, in addition to this, Xia Feng did not forget to amplify the power of the 'Memory Storage Cup' on each attack. As long as the attack hits the target, it can cause the opponent to temporarily lose their memory.

[Power Degradation -0.6%]

[Authorization rate 1.08%, replication failed—]

The Black Moon Pope realized that he hadn't been greatly affected, and thus understood...
The extent to which authority is reduced depends on the amount of spiritual energy consumed. Clearly, the Abyss Saints' current spiritual energy is insufficient to support the completion of authority reduction.

However, just as the thought flashed through the Black Moon Pope's mind, the bow and arrow behind the black-robed man in the distance flashed with light once again.

A second, even more magnificent divine arrow instantly shot into the Pope's brow.

Xia Feng's Spirit Restriction Coin stored two portions of Venerable Level 3 Spirit Particles. He used up the first portion in the past few days, and now he directly took out the second portion, instantly consuming 80% of it again.

[Power Degradation -1.01%]

[Authorization level 0.07%, target artifact authority level below 0.1%, copy successful!]

[You have obtained the S-rank Spirit Artifact - Returning to the Void Dream!]

All of this happened in less than half a second, but before Xia Feng could receive the specific ability information of Guixu Mengyan, the Blood Belt storage in his Blood Belt Shadow was about to be exhausted.

Rationality has dropped to below 50.
