I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 955. Optimization Effect
The radiance of life instantly coalesced into a humanoid form.

It has the limbs of a normal human, is three meters tall, has no gender characteristics, but has goat-like horns on its head, and its whole body is radiating blood-red runes and arcane light.

A single, crimson spiral-shaped vertical pupil occupied his entire face, exuding a divine aura tinged with malevolence.

[S-Class Disaster - Dream of Return to Ruins]

The moment this creature appeared, the Black Moon Pope could no longer maintain his composure, and his expression changed drastically!

He clearly sensed that this magical artifact, which he had controlled for over ten thousand years, was now harboring murderous intent towards him!
His control over the magical artifact began to crumble rapidly! He was about to lose control!

A chill ran through him, and in a flash, without hesitation, he swirled the rune chain around his right hand and, before the artifact disaster could be completely out of control, plunged it straight into the artifact disaster's heart. At the same time, he immediately released the dream state he was in control of this body.

"Boom—!!" Meng Yan's state ended, his original consciousness awakened, and his body automatically triggered an explosion and annihilation. The blood-red annihilation light swept across the entire Heavenly Mirror Space.

Within the light, runic chains bound the three-meter-tall calamity creature whose pupils were gradually focusing, and suddenly pulled it into the light cave, where it disappeared without a trace.

"The second time, huh! As always, Your Excellency is one step ahead. But it's alright, our sect awaits Your Excellency's arrival at the Fourth Divine Treasury." The cold, then gradually gentle voice echoed in the celestial mirror, quickly dissipating.

Crackling sounds—the Mirror Space also began to fracture at the same time.

Within the Heavenly Gift Mirror, it would disintegrate if either the owner of the artifact or the artifact itself died. Xia Feng was unharmed, but the death of the Black Moon Pope's Dream Transformation body naturally fulfilled the conditions for the Heavenly Gift Mirror to break.

At this moment, Xia Feng, reminded by Yue Hongli, released the Void State and regained consciousness, and at the same time heard the Black Moon Pope's last words.

The Fourth Divine Treasure?

Is it the Fourth Divine Treasury again? Previously, Ms. Mi, a follower of the Star God of Life, also said she was going to the Fourth Divine Treasury to find Gu Yi's remains. What is the Black Moon Pope going to the Fourth Divine Treasury for this time?
Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Whatever the reason, we've already got Guixu Mengyan.

Xia Feng was very satisfied with the Black Moon Pope's initiative in coming to deliver an S-grade spiritual artifact; he was simply a kind and understanding little angel.

So, in order to repay this kind Pope, Xia Feng decided that the next time he saw the Pope, he would help the Pope, who had become a calamity, to distinguish truth from falsehood in the Guixu Dream.

Since the Pope's true location is unknown, if we try to distinguish the truth from the falsehood now, the Pope might very well guess that he, the Abyss Saint, possesses the heaven-defying ability to 'steal or annihilate spiritual artifacts'!

If it were just an annihilation-grade B-level spiritual artifact, that would be one thing; annihilation-type spiritual artifacts of this level are rare, but not surprising.

However, if the Pope were to spread the news that a magical artifact could directly annihilate an S-rank and make it disappear, the hostility of various forces towards his Abyss Saints might very well rise to the same level as Sirius.

Therefore, Xia Feng decided to temporarily refrain from distinguishing truth from falsehood until he was certain that he could completely kill the Black Moon Pope.

At the same time, he finally had time to carefully study the specific effects of Guixu Dream Evolution.

The ability of Returning to the Void not only makes one immune to many mental attacks, but it can even backfire on the attacker and forcibly pull them into the Void state. This is undoubtedly a powerful weapon against Miss Mu!

Although Miss Mu's Alpha artifact rank far surpasses that of S-rank, the power of the Void Return will be weakened as a result.

But none of that is the problem. The main problem is that Miss Mu already knows about the existence of Guixu Mengyan, and she will most likely guess that he has obtained Guixu Mengyan in April. So it will be difficult to get Miss Mu to use an Alpha artifact to attack him.

It seems we need to devise a plan to get Miss Mu to use her magical artifact on him willingly.

In addition to the Ruins of Return, there are also two other abilities: Dream Evolution and Dream World.

Dreamscape isn't very useful to him, but fortunately, he can sacrifice his Dreamscape ability to gain a chance to use the Dream Realm once.

Unfortunately, the Dream Realm can only be used once. Seeing this, Xia Feng had an idea.

[Optimization successful]

[S-Rank - Return to the Ruins: Dream Transformation (Optimized Version)]

[Return to the Void: Its effectiveness will not be diminished when facing attacks from divine authority or Alpha-level spiritual artifacts]

[Meng Yan: After you, Meng Yan, possess a body, you can inherit not only the experience, knowledge system, and memories of the spirit armor, but also the highest-ranking S-grade spirit artifact! However, the S-grade spirit artifact will be damaged.]

[Dream Realm: You can sacrifice your 'Dream Evolution' power, rendering you unable to use it again. You will also sacrifice all your memories to gain the ability to summon {yourself or another person} from a future timeline to aid you in battle.]

The Dream World could originally only summon one's own future, but now it can summon others? Xia Feng pondered this optimization.

This ability is very useful, but it also seems to carry great risks and should be used with caution.

While pondering, Xia Feng opened the Divine Mirror Platform and made simple adjustments to the current spirit artifact slots.

[Currently possessed Spiritual Artifacts (6/6): S·Return to the Void Dream, A·Absolute Double Pupil, A·Yin Yang Mirror, A·Ten Sacred Armor, A·Sacred Hand Guanyin, A·Undead Map]

[Spirit Map Storage Artifacts (5/5): A. Eye of Mistake, A. Memory Storage Cup, B. Vajra Ring, B. Spirit Forbidden Coin, B. Vermilion Bird Demon Armor]

[Death Map Storage Artifacts (5/5): A Blood Hidden Heavenly Inheritance, A Artifact Space, B Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, B Spirit Longevity Ring, B Blood Breath Mark]

[The Undead Knight carries (3/3): B Ten Dragons Magic Cannon, B Time-Reversal Spirit Eye, A Sparrow Blood Life]

The spirit artifacts within the spirit map can be used at any time. The death map is like a warehouse; spirit artifacts that are not needed for the time being can be thrown in, with a 24-hour cooldown period before they can be retrieved.

As for the undead knight, it can only be used by the undead knight clone. He used the Spirit Origin Infant Transformation and the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor to create three of his own undead clones, which were stored in the Nascent Soul Space and could be summoned and used at any time.

So strictly speaking, apart from the five spirit artifacts of the Death Map that cannot be used immediately, the other 14 spirit artifacts have no usage restrictions.

What frustrated Xia Feng was that he was running out of spirit weapon slots again; out of a total of 19 slots.

We need to hurry up and find a spiritual artifact similar to the 'Dead Spirit Map' that can increase the number of spiritual artifact slots.

ground.

Everyone thought they were in for a good show.

Unexpectedly, just two seconds after the Abyss Saint entered, the Heavenly Mirror World seemed to freeze, turning purple one moment and blood red the next. Two seconds later, cracks spread rapidly across the Heavenly Mirror, and it exploded with a bang.

The Spade Man hovered above the clouds where the stream of light was gradually disappearing, his black robe fluttering in the wind.

As for the Black Moon Pope, he vanished without a trace.

Obviously, dead.

Of course, everyone knows that the Black Moon Pope cannot be his true form and will not die so easily.

Only a faint purple mist remained in the air, but with the death of the Black Moon Pope, the purple mist seemed to have lost its anchor and vanished completely.
