I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

"Crackle and Pop—"

The members of the Spiritual Artifact squad had all perished, but many spiritual materials on their bodies remained intact, the colorful orbs scattered across the wreckage of the battlefield.

Xia Feng, practiced and adept, casually summoned these materials, which sorted themselves out mid-air.

One could say it was no surprise, considering each member of the legion as a Senior Festival Envoy was immensely wealthy, possessing various rare spiritual materials.

68 grams of Infinite Stone, 5 Yao Stones, 20 Third Level Spirit Storage Fruits, 6 Spirit-injecting Fruits, along with Snow Star Flower, Blood Grass Crystal, Flower Flame Blood, Simukui—Third Rank and Fourth Rank spiritual materials.

Among them, the Water Element spiritual materials were particularly numerous. Xia Feng glanced over them and found that two were exactly the Fourth Rank spiritual materials he needed.

Moon Slope Water and Tears of the Evil Whale went straight into his bag.

Of course, he didn't actually need Fourth Rank spiritual materials. Although he had now acquired two such materials, he still lacked thirteen others.

However, it was no longer important; he just needed to pretend he had already collected them all, promotion to Fourth Rank was Miss Mu's concern.

Mu Qingtong added the Wood Element Fourth Rank spiritual material, Simukui, to her collection, it being the only material she lacked.

She had also planned to spend some Life Power to obtain Simukui, as it was a rare existence among Fourth Rank spiritual materials, but finding it here meant she could save her Life Power.

After swiftly collecting the spoils in a matter of two seconds, the two exchanged glances, wasting no more time and dashing towards the mountaintop.

*

Volcano crater.

A Silver Knight stood high upon a massive rock, his gray-white wolf-tail hairstyle striking; his giant sword firmly planted between rocks in front of him, hands on the hilt, his posture erect, his white pupils coldly surveying the scene below.

The tall, plump officer's slightly twisted features oozed with a gray mist, his small eyes stained with a brutal blood color, veins popping on his forehead.

Yet, his steps were steady, consistently moving forward under the weight of the terrifying Evil Power, each step bringing him closer to Miss Evil at the center.

After 80 seconds of erosion, Pang Xize had converted from the Human Race to a Half-Evil, yet his sanity remained intact, steadily transitioning towards Evil.

It seemed there were no signs of his sanity collapsing.

Yin Shi, without a trace of emotion, calmly observed; voluntary Evil transformation contravened the laws, but as an Apocalypse Knight, he held no concern for such matters.

Although Apocalypse Knights possess the highest enforcement rights and immunity to murder, they act only against those 'detrimental to the Empire, disturbing the peace of the Empire.'

"Boom!!"

"Rumble!!"

Just then, two huge explosions occurring three seconds apart echoed from below the mountain, causing slight tremors throughout the volcano.

Yin Shi looked downward, his pale eyes narrowing.

Due to the distance, it was unclear what was happening below, but he could faintly see two black dots rapidly making their way up the mountain.

These two figures were likely the invaders; the Spiritual Artifact squad had failed to stop them.

Yin Shi wasn't particularly surprised.

The only thing that puzzled him was that as the two black dots moved, the land around them turned black and white, resembling a piece of black-and-white canvas moving swiftly, the area covered approximately a 50-meter diameter circle, probably some kind of domain.

"Lady Walker, those two are coming up!" a female Festival Envoy reported gravely.

Hearing his subordinate's report, Pang Xize frowned; had the Spiritual Artifact squad really been defeated?

But they were merely Third Rank, no matter how miraculous their methods, how could they possibly defeat the Spiritual Artifact squad?

What's going on here...

"Spiritual Artifact squad completely annihilated?" he asked in a puzzled, deep voice.

"The communication of Envoy Wu Mo suddenly cut off." The female envoy spoke solemnly, "It seems very likely that they are all dead."

Pang Xize's brows furrowed even tighter. It had to be said, these two invaders were somewhat unexpected.

However, it was not a big deal. He accelerated the process of Evil transformation while commanding solemnly, "Form the battle formation."

"Yes."

Ninety Festival Envoys formed nine envoy battle formations, each capable of perfectly activating at least one B-rank Spiritual Clothes to protect Pang Xize in the center all around.

Soon, about 20 seconds later, the two invaders made their way unobstructed to the edge of the mountaintop.

Pang Xize, hearing the noise, turned around. In his blurred, blood-red vision, he saw two figures in black robes, their robes fluttering with masks.

Arriving at the volcano's crater, Xia Feng quickly surveyed the surroundings—the ninety Festival Envoys, the Wolf-tail Knight, the tall, fat officer, and not far in front of the officer... a human-shaped mare?

"Um?" Xia Feng was startled. What was this, some kind of human-alien mother horse?

As he pondered, he sensed the reaction from the Melding.

Then he was shocked. That mare was precisely the A-rank Spiritual Artifact he was looking for!

It appeared to be an artifact that had been infected by an Artifact Disaster. Xia Feng had seen such diversity for the first time; he hadn't realized that creatures formed by the "Heavenly Gifted Disaster" could be so varied.

But now, to replicate this mare, he would need to close within a fifty-meter range.

His Mind Domain had a radius of 50 meters, but he was still 300 meters from the center of the volcano crater. He needed a plan to get closer...

However, no sooner had this thought arisen than an overwhelming Spiritual Pressure burst forth from the center of the volcano, resounding a deep hum.

The immense Spiritual Pressure made both Xia Feng bend their knees involuntarily, their movements sluggish.

This was the True Martial Realm Spiritual Pressure!

At the same time, as the True Five Spiritual Pressure was released, the tall, fat officer's body surface began to show a black Spiritual Clothes, which suddenly expanded and enlarged!

A terrifying howl alarmed everyone present, as a giant Light Spirit with a body entirely red suddenly stood atop the mountaintop!

It had three eyes and four arms, its messy blue-black Light Spirit forming waves of long hair hanging behind the neck, each of the four long arms holding a trident, its 20-meter-tall figure towering as if supporting the heavens.

Unlike the previous incomplete A-rank Spiritual Clothes formation in Ye Li's Beizhou, which only had the upper body, the Shiva's Heavenly Form that Pang Xize released had a complete torso, generating a far more terrifying presence.

A fine crack opened at the red giant's brow, and its eerie eyes suddenly burst forth with a bloodthirsty glow; faint red ripples spread out, instantly encompassing everything within a thousand-meter radius!

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong quickly reacted, but to no avail—it was a domain, a domain that was impossible to escape!

Xia Feng felt a bit helpless. Was this guy really starting with a heavy attack? Totally not following the script.

His vision darkened, his sense of smell sealed off, and his hearing, touch, and all other senses completely disappeared, while even his sense of direction became disoriented. Though he tried to step forward, he found himself involuntarily moving right.

Seeing this, he hastily pulled back his stride and dared not move again.

This must be the ability of Shiva's Heavenly Form—an area where the perceptions of everyone, including the user, were nullified or randomly reversed, while the lifeless zones within the area would generate numerous spatial cracks, with a high probability of being directly torn apart by moving recklessly.

It was essentially a silence domain where all within, including the user, were deprived of any form of 'vision' and dared not move due to the unknown dangers lurking in the dark.

After releasing the domain, Pang Xize no longer cared about the surroundings and continued to speed up the Evil transformation. Just one more minute, and he would succeed in the transformation!

Even True Martial Realm strong people would find it difficult to escape this domain; it was enough to hold back those two annoying flies.
