I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch

Ko Zelrek adjusted his flat glasses, gazing towards the east. Beneath the mirrored lenses, his eyes were invisible.

"Seems like the ability to seal Spiritual Artifacts..." he muttered to himself.

Disabling others from using Spiritual Artifacts is not a common ability, though not entirely unheard of.

Ko Zelrek knew of three people in the Empire's history who possessed Spiritual Artifacts of this nature, but the effects varied somewhat.

But to have a range that covers an entire city, like the Abyss Saint, is rare indeed.

The Abyss Saint claims he can resolve the global catastrophe issue; could the range possibly expand to cover the whole world?

As Ko Zelrek muttered softly,

Beside him, Kovis looked puzzled at the two suddenly rising seats.

He couldn't see the scene outside and was unable to determine the specifics.

His attention wasn't on the outside but rather focused on the distant sky above the Cloud Platform.

The platform was shrouded in a hazy mist, only allowing a vague view of Sister Qing and the shadow of the boy in the wheelchair overlapping.

Sister Qing's silhouette seemed to sway from side to side, appearing to straddle the boy's lap, shifting left and right. This thought fleetingly flashed in Kovis's mind, and the scene in the distant sky slowly faded away simultaneously.

He softly squinted his eyes, shook his head, and dismissed this inexplicable notion.

"Still expanding... At this rate of increase, if it can be maintained, it won't be long before it spreads globally."

Upon hearing An Xingjia's whisper, Kovis turned back, "An Xizuo, has the Abyss Saint truly started resolving the Disaster Poison?"

"Nonsense." An Xingjia rolled his eyes, disinclined to pay him any heed.

...

Sparrow King Star, Hengyang Mountain Range.

On a cliff, the wind swept past the two figures standing shoulder to shoulder: the golden-haired wolf-tailed uncle and the white-clad, white-browed, white-haired youth.

Sensing something, both simultaneously turned to look towards the east.

"Damn!" Lei Chonghua's eyes widened at the dark curtain sweeping across the distant sky, resembling an invasion from a realm of darkness. All creatures bowed, fear spread across the earth, the might was awe-inspiring.

The speed of the dark curtain was escalating exponentially, growing faster and faster!

Whoosh—the dark curtain swept through, and both men sharply turned again, looking at the already distant dark sky, falling into silence.

The world of this battlefield was completely enveloped in abyssal darkness.

In the gorge battlefield, sky battlefield, ocean battlefield, and other places, the Spiritual Artifact Army opposing the Golden Sparrow Army was obliterated with a roar.

Ten thousand soldiers groaned from the backlash, bent over, then raised their heads in bewilderment and looked around.

In the darkness, Lei Chonghua and Mr Bai were still able to see.

Especially Mr Bai, at this moment, his white eyes seemed to hide two white suns, bright as day, the gray veins around his eyes bulging as he strained his gaze to track the direction of the receding dark curtain.

However, his vision speed gradually could not keep up, blood vessels emerged on the whites of his eyes.

"This must be the Abyss Saint's technique." Beside him, Lei Chonghua murmured, "Pretty powerful...."

The gray veins around the white-haired youth's eyes disappeared, the blazing whiteness in his sockets faded, and he nodded calmly, "As mentioned, trust in Mother's judgment."

Lei Chonghua glanced at him, was about to speak, yet a holy and majestic Divine Sound resonated in their hearts: "Lei Chonghua, Mr Bai, return to Divine Hua Palace immediately and assist in the ritual."

Lei Chonghua's expression tightened, Mr Bai was equally solemn, both bowed their heads: "Yes, Mother."

...

Moon.

A silhouette of a child walked slowly on the cold desolate crater.

In the void outside the moon, a woman in a phoenix skirt stood with her hands behind her.

Both seemed to have stopped fighting, waiting for something.

The child's silhouette jumped and skipped in the crater as if playing hopscotch, after a while, lifted his head with an innocent voice, curiously asking:

"Hua God Auntie, I'm waiting for your authority to be completely eroded, what are you waiting for?"

Suspended in the abyssal cosmos, the phoenix-skirted woman's divine eyes calmly looked down, without a trace of emotional fluctuation, as if observing an ant.

The child silhouette chuckled: "Hua God Auntie remains as arrogant as ever. Too bad, closing off your emotional perception isn't a good thing; that will only let divinity completely consume your self."

The Heavenly Burning Saint Master held his forehead as if deep in thought,

"Oh, let me think what your old aunt self is like, vile, selfish, committing all evils... Truly a living evil god—"

But as he spoke, his words suddenly halted, turned sideways, his gaze directed towards Sparrow King Star.

Heavenly Gifted Disaster's sound transmission told him Sparrow God Mountain's Disaster Poison was obliterated.

Annihilated, how could it be? His gaze puzzled.

Soon, without Heavenly Gifted Disaster needing to say more, his sight also observed the Sparrow King Star scenario.

Not just Sparrow God Mountain, that annihilating curtain was spreading globally!

Who did this? The Heavenly Burning Saint Master's gaze shifted quickly to trace the source.

The annihilating curtain emerged from Golden Sparrow City, the space-time point and Sumeru Gate overlap.

Could it be... Abyss Saint?!

"....."

The child's silhouette gradually lost his smile, looking faintly at the void.

The divine eyes of the phoenix skirt woman still looked calmly downward, yet the corners of her lips under the exquisite facade curled slightly, hinting at an imperceptible sneer and....an extremely malevolent intensity!

She slowly raised her slender hand, pressing forward into the void.

Suddenly, the entire moon and surrounding void, flattened as if reduced to a two-dimensional scroll.

The child silhouette in the center of the crater twisted and expanded, seemingly on the verge of painful explosion, without hesitation, split into thousands of silhouettes, scattering in all directions!

No longer possessing that previous ease and arrogance.

...

Outside Sumeru Gate.

The swirling black robe stood atop the clock tower, dense black ink-like field surrounding the robe in all directions, expanded outward thousands of miles long ago.

After gradually digesting and integrating the Cosmic Star Core into his soul, Xia Feng felt his soul as if it was laden with a Star Core, enabling his thoughts and mind to infinitely extend beyond the star core to the mantle, crust, sky....

So this is the characteristic of Level 7 Spiritual Materials, Xia Feng felt intriguing. With a single thought, he could fully integrate this characteristic with his spirit.

Clearly sensing, the field-like ability he displays next can have infinite extension effects, the drawback is he won't be able to move.

Only a one-hour time limit.

After an hour, this effect would dissipate, but it's enough.

He activated the Mind Domain, the formed dark curtain engulfed skyscrapers and cloud sky, first swallowing the entire Golden Sparrow City, then extending into Sparrow God Mountain.

Thus, all the Spiritual Artifact information of the city appeared completely in his mind!

The effect brought by the Cosmic Star Core wasn't invincible; the further his domain expands, the weaker the domain's effects become.

For instance, Spiritual Artifacts within the coverage of Mind Domain could be copied by him, but now, once too far, they'd lose the 'copy' ability.

Yet it's still sufficient, at least 80% of this city's Spiritual Artifacts can be copied!

Most importantly, Sparrow God Mountain was also included.
