CHAPTER 982: CHAPTER 950: EVIL DRAGON MISS CRIES

Xia Feng’s consciousness was muddled, as if tossed by turbulent waves in the sea, and he was finally submerged and sank to the bottom.

He maintained a trace of mental clarity, sensing the surroundings, yet inevitably fell into darkness, his thoughts stagnated.

Vaguely, he saw a light ahead.

Within the light, there was a silhouette in a star skirt that he found very familiar sitting there.

Swoosh—

Suddenly, there was brightness before his eyes, and the familiar sight of the World Tree appeared.

The canopy of the World Tree covered the sky and the sun, and a Pale giant dragon remained proudly lifting its majestic head, and the ever-burning Gray Fire surged and coiled on the layers of Supreme Divine Rank.

The Divine Throne was embedded in the center of the tree’s base, where the woman in the star skirt sat with closed eyes.

Upon seeing this scene, Xia Feng’s expression was momentarily dazed.

Even though it was only a few months since he last saw Evil Dragon Miss, it felt like an eternity.

However, unlike her usual graceful high seating or lounging lazily...

On the Divine Throne, the woman in the star skirt sat with dignity, her hands resting on her knees, while her pale vertical pupils were dull and lifeless, hollow like a soulless vessel, and faint blood tears slid down under the crystal white dragon scales adorning her left eye corner...

Sliding down the strangely divine smile, they dripped onto the star skirt that lost its luster, instantly staining it into a vast expanse of crimson, like a terrifying fire of sinful hell, engulfing the woman on the Divine Throne.

The terrifying fire boiled, annihilating the Divine Throne, coiling around the Pale Dragon, even devouring the World Tree; the entire Sealed Land began to be incinerated under the torment of this hellfire, emitting a sharp ear-piercing shriek.

This terrifying scene was reflected in Xia Feng’s black pupils, causing his eyes to shrink in shock.

Within his pupils, the woman in the star skirt still sat in the center of the hellfire, her gaze empty as she watched him, her lips moving as if whispering, or calling out.

Xia Feng was bewildered, his mind felt like it was being poured with the terrible flame, boiling over, his limbs desperately trying to run towards the Divine Throne, yet somehow, he couldn’t seem to touch the ground, no leverage, as if floating in the void universe, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get close to the distant Divine Throne, instead, drifting further away.

Unable to get close, he could only strain to listen,

"It hurts so much..."

Finally, he faintly heard Evil Dragon Miss’s whisper, an eerie voice coming from hell, pleading despairingly by his ear,

"I am in so much pain..."

"Believer... I am in so much pain..."

In his pupils, the woman in the star skirt whispered emptily, moving farther and farther, getting smaller and smaller.

The fear in Xia Feng’s heart soared to the highest point in history, as he let out a heart-wrenching Dragon Roar in rage, "Roar——!!!"

Eyes glaring with anger, snapping wide open!!

Boom—a wave of air surging, the terrifying pressure directly blasted the curious gold-haired masked woman nearby, instantly crashing into the cracked wall.

The gold-haired woman spat out fresh blood, her breath rapidly enfeebled.

She slid down the wall slowly, gazing up in horror, not understanding what happened, Papa....why did this young man suddenly become so terrifying?

Only the wheelchair-bound youth was seen bowing his head, gasping for breath, and as he slowly raised his head, those black pupils had somehow turned into pale vertical pupils hidden with bloody hue, coldly staring at her.

As though a dragon that could devour her at any moment....

Kikyo Ayame suddenly felt a chill throughout her body, terrified to the extreme, her face deathly pale, immediately followed by a bizarre flush, and her round legs under the white coat uncontrollably trembled, dripping....

Why, why is this happening?

She knew she was terribly embarrassed at the moment, but she couldn’t control it, after all, it was the first time seeing such a frightening existence.

Just a glance could....

But it seemed, the wheelchair-bound youth didn’t notice her embarrassment, or rather, was too lazy to pay attention....

She lowered her gaze, stood up silently, tightly pressing her legs together.

Xia Feng actually keenly noticed Kikyo Ayame’s situation but was too lazy to bother, as his thoughts were already scrambled by the earlier nightmare.

The fear had not yet dissipated, his whole body quivering, with his heartbeat pounding like drums beside his ears.

It’s really ghostly.

How could he have such a nightmare?

Xia Feng frowned tightly, as his emotions and thoughts slightly stabilized, his heart grew even more uneasy.

Is Evil Dragon Miss unable to withstand the torment of the Sealing Power anymore?

Xia Feng remembered that Tianwu Empress had said before she had been helping Evil Dragon Miss share the burden of the Sealing Power, alleviating her pain, could it be she wasn’t doing so anymore?

Damn, very likely!

When he left Apocalypse Temple last time, he had taunted Tianwu Empress by raising his middle finger.

After all, the news of Evil Crow appearing in Sumeru Realm would soon be known by Tianwu Empress, and Tianwu Empress would certainly instantly realize that the reason he willingly kissed her then was actually to obtain Purest Dragon Blood to nourish Black Crow Feather.

As such, Tianwu Empress would definitely guess that he wouldn’t return to Apocalypse Temple anymore!

In this way, this Empress would no doubt be furious, choosing not to help Evil Dragon Miss share the pain any longer.....Highly likely!

Thinking of this, Xia Feng cursed inwardly, this Evil Empress, even torturing her own body, utterly despicable!!

He flipped his palm over, and Black Crow Feather appeared in his hand.

The divine rune on the feather surface flowed, the Array had already formed, ready to open the link to the Sealed Land, to meet the Pale Empress!

Just as Xia Feng was about to utter the incantation, an authoritative voice softly sounded from the ancient void, resounding eerily in his heart: "Foolish believer, I suggest you best not go back now."

"!!" Xia Feng’s black pupils contracted suddenly, his shoulders tensed.

"Is this nervous?" The authoritative voice carried light mockery, "Did you consider you would face me again when you challenged me last time upon leaving?"

"....."

Xia Feng’s shoulders slowly relaxed, expressionlessly reclining in the wheelchair, the black pupils faintly staring into the emptiness ahead, bouncing his thoughts, "What did you mean earlier? Why can’t I return to the Sealed Land now?"

"Truly a foolish believer."

The aloof Divine Sound said indifferently, "The World Tree and Sumeru Realm are the same, belonging to the sub-plane, the plane ripples triggered by entering a sub-plane, in ordinary times, are trivial and hard to notice.

But now, in times when the gaze of the Empire is openly and secretly gathered here, you triggering a second plane ripple next to Sumeru Realm, equates to exposing the Space-time Point of World Tree in Huang Ye, Business, and others’ eyes, considering a grand conspiracy against me, what do you think would happen then?"

"....."

Indeed, Xia Feng hadn’t thought of this point, mainly because he didn’t quite understand what the Divine Domain could achieve.

"If you want to return to the Sealed Land now, the quickest way is to first return to Sumeru Realm, by entering the World Tree Space, the plane ripple triggered would naturally overlap with the space-time point of Sumeru Realm."

Echoed the gentle and friendly suggestion of the Evil Empress in his mind, "In this way, the outside world would only assume it to be a plane ripple generated by Sumeru Realm, and would not notice any abnormality."

Upon hearing the kind suggestion from Evil Empress, Xia Feng’s first reaction wasn’t happiness, but intense caution, "Why are you so kind-hearted?"

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

"I’m only here to prevent you from foolishly placing my body in danger." The authoritative Divine Sound gradually disappeared, vanishing into nothingness.
