Chapter 986: Chapter 954: Dream World Realm

The Black Moon Pope couldn’t understand; this Abyss Saint’s spiritual pressure had clearly been suppressed to the Second Order, so where did all this spiritual quantity come from?

Though he had already witnessed the Abyss Saint’s endless methods, seeing this situation still made the Black Moon Pope subconsciously marvel that there truly are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens in this world.

He grew more interested in the Abyss Saint, those unpredictable methods like enticing fruits that he was eager to obtain.

Fortunately, after the Abyss Saint exerted his authority to assimilate him, he didn’t take any further action.

This was also a puzzling point, as the primary function of the Sumeru Throne is to seize divine status, so authority assimilation should be used for seizing divine status.

But his Black Moon Pope’s true form is only a Sage, and this body now only a Venerable, having no divine status for the Abyss Saint to seize.

So, what use does it serve for the Abyss Saint to use authority assimilation on him?

As this thought arose, the Black Moon Pope felt inexplicably uneasy, as if he had forgotten something.

His Ming Pupil squinted slightly, countless silhouettes merged into one, suspended in the eastern sky, looking down at the man in the black robe about to be engulfed and assimilated by the Purple Mist, he spoke faintly:

“The high position of the Dragon God Bloodline indeed inherently restrains any possession power, but unfortunately, the force of assimilation is not possession, but a more profound… Supreme Technique. If you are curious, you might as well give up resistance; after being assimilated, you will naturally know.”

Xia Feng couldn’t be bothered with this old thing and quickly completed the reception of the S-Class Spiritual Artifact in his heart.

[S-Class · Returning Ruins Dream Expansion]

[Returning Ruins: ① Any ability purely driven by spiritual power will result in retaliation upon the target when used on you, dragging their consciousness into Returning Ruins, putting them in a low-conscious/unconscious state. ② You can use Returning Ruins on yourself, putting yourself in a low-conscious/unconscious state, automatically immune to all invasive attacks on the soul and will during this state.]

[Dream Expansion: You can dream-project to possess a physical body, inheriting everything except the spiritual artifact (including but not limited to spiritual clothes experience, knowledge system, memory common sense, bloodline inheritance, soul, imprint…)]

[Dream World Realm: You can sacrifice the power of ‘Dream Expansion’, thus unable to use Dream Expansion anymore, while simultaneously sacrificing all your memories, to gain {once} the ability to summon your own power from a future time branch to aid in battle.]

[Note 1: Concerning Returning Ruins, the stronger the target’s spiritual power, the stronger the power of Returning Ruins will be in immobilizing their thinking when their consciousness is dragged into Returning Ruins.]

[Note 2: In the Dream Expansion state, your main body cannot move and falls into sleep.]

[Note 3: In the Dream Expansion state, you can only have and control {two} Dream Expansion bodies at one time, and the stronger the power of the body, the more mental and spiritual power it consumes, becoming more taxing.]

[Note….]

[Note 99: This spiritual artifact is a spiritual-type artifact. With an S-Class spiritual-type spiritual artifact, you naturally gain a 10,000 Soc spiritual power increase.]

[Current Spiritual Power: 11002→21002 (True God Realm)]

Xia Feng: “!!!!”

In the general division of spiritual power levels, 1000~6000 is the level of a Venerable, 6k~1w is the Dark Level, and 1w~2w is the Light Level.

Beyond the threshold of 20,000, it touches the domain of the God Realm!

Xia Feng’s whole body shivered as if his soul, consciousness, and thought underwent some strange sublimation, with dark pupils abruptly expanding, exploding into fragments of golden light, filling his entire eye sockets.

He vaguely comprehended something. With a subconscious movement, his spirit extended like tentacles, touching the surrounding time and space, and he was instantly filled with a mysterious sense, his spirit clear. He vaguely ‘saw’ the world’s truth.

That was… the Origin Heavenly Dao!

This ‘sight’ was peculiar, as if he had already become a True God, a Heavenly God… and even himself was the Origin Heavenly Dao.

Xia Feng also instantly realized that the Origin Heavenly Dao is the mechanism of world operation, the entirety of everything in this world.

He simultaneously realized that above the Heavenly God, there seemed to be another rank!

Could it be… the rank of the Dragon God?!

Xia Feng’s mind was continuously filled with astonishment, but with his thoughts reaching an unprecedented height, he finished digesting this in less than a microsecond after receiving the spiritual artifact information and gathered his thoughts.

When his spiritual power first broke through to the early stage of Light Level, the huge gap caused him to have an illusion, feeling light and airy.

Now, because he had obtained an S-Class spiritual-type spiritual artifact, he directly saw the Origin Heavenly Dao, as if he had already become a god.

This huge gap between spiritual and physical realm should have caused the body to be unable to bear the divine will and explode directly, but luckily, his bloodline status was terrifyingly high, adapting after just a moment of daze.

Reaching the God Realm in spiritual power brought not only an extreme increase in thinking speed but also…. the ability to accelerate the authority of the Fruit Position or spiritual artifact.

However, spiritual power alone reaching the God Realm was not enough; it also required an elevation in ‘concept’ level.

Xia Feng had no time to think about this now, nor to further ‘optimize’ the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion,

still being in the Moon Time Divine Domain, with sanity rapidly decreasing.

[Sanity: 40…37…30….]

After regaining his senses, he directly used Time Cover to return to reality, solidifying everything done in the Moon Time Domain to prevent the Black Moon Pope from canceling it back to the beginning.

Upon completing Time Cover, Xia Feng, without the slightest hesitation, directly used the power of Returning Ruins on himself.

Meanwhile, the Blood Beast’s Shadow’s blood beast content was completely exhausted, the surrounding Purple Mist, like a pack of wolves smelling flesh and blood, surged crazily.

However, Xia Feng entered an unconscious state of Returning Ruins at this moment, his eyes closed and falling into a slumber, motionless.

The Purple Mist also suddenly seemed to lose its target, swirling chaotically around him.

Xia Feng lost all perception of the outside world, but more than Xia Feng’s state, the Black Moon Pope’s expression grew more and more grave.

“This is….”

The Black Moon Pope was puzzled. He thought the man in the black robe would successfully be eroded by the Purple Mist, but unexpectedly, the Purple Mist still swirled around the man, unable to erode even a bit.

Under the black hood, the Black Spade mask faced him quietly, motionless.

The Black Moon Pope knew the danger of the Purple Mist well, not fearing it because the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion could counteract the Purple Mist, and this body was not his main body. Even if accidentally countered by the Purple Mist, he could immediately commit suicide.

But how did this Abyss Saint do it?

However, this was no longer the point now because he suddenly realized something!

This is…. the Heavenly Gifted Spirit Realm!

The order…. how could he forget this?! As the startled thought flashed, the Black Moon Pope instantly understood he was attacked by some memory loss ability!

His Returning Ruins Dream Expansion couldn’t immunize against memory loss.

Heavenly Gifted Spirit Realm…. In this space, spiritual artifacts will forcibly be awakened with consciousness.

His Returning Ruins dream expansion’s authority progression was previously close to 2%, able to counteract the Heavenly Gifted Disaster’s ability, now dropped below 0.1% by the Sumeru Throne, naturally unable to counteract it.

“Buzz——!” With a resonant sound, his right hand’s ring lit up with an eerie, terrifying life glow.
