Chapter 987: Chapter 955: Optimized Effects

The light of life instantaneously coalesced into a humanoid form.

It had the limbs of a normal human, standing three meters tall, without any gender characteristics, but horns like those of a goat curled atop its head, its entire body emitting a blood-red rune glow.

An amber spiral vertical pupil dominated its entire face, a divinity mingled with malice.

[S-Class Artifact Disaster·Returning Ruins Dream Expansion]

The moment this being appeared, the Black Moon Pope could no longer maintain his composure, his face changed dramatically!

He clearly sensed that this Spiritual Artifact, which had been under his control for over ten thousand years… was harboring a murderous intent towards him!

The control power between him and the Spiritual Artifact also began to rapidly collapse! He was about to lose control!

A chilling dread gripped his heart; in a flash, without a moment’s hesitation, his right hand spun the chain of runes, and before the Artifact Disaster completely lost control, he directly inserted it into the Artifact Disaster’s heart, while simultaneously withdrawing the Dream Expansion state from the vessel.

“Boom—!!” With the Dream Expansion state dissolved, the conscious mind awakened, causing the vessel to automatically trigger a blasting annihilation, the blood-red annihilation light swept across the entire Sky Mirror Space.

Within the luminous glow, a chain of runes restrained the gradually focusing pupil of the three-meter-tall Artifact Disaster creature, forcibly pulled it into a light hole, disappearing without a trace.

“Second time, huh~! Once again, it’s His Holiness the Saint who is one step ahead. But no matter, my church awaits Your Holiness in the Fourth Divine Treasure.” A cold voice gradually turned gentle, echoing through the Sky Mirror, quickly dissipating.

Crackling—The Sky Mirror Space simultaneously presented signs of disintegration.

Inside the Heavenly Gifted Spirit Mirror, whenever an Artifact Disaster or its owner dies, it collapses. Xia Feng was unharmed, but the death of the Black Moon Pope’s Dream Expansion vessel naturally met the breaking condition of the Heavenly Gifted Spirit Mirror.

Xia Feng, at this moment, under Yue Hongli’s reminder, released the Returning Ruins state, regained consciousness, simultaneously hearing the Black Moon Pope’s last parting words.

The Fourth Divine Treasure?

It’s the Fourth Divine Treasure again…. Previously Lady Mi, the Believer of the Life Star God, also said she wanted to go to the Fourth Divine Treasure to find Gu Yi’s Divine Remains, what is the Black Moon Pope going to the Fourth Divine Treasure for?

Well, it’s not important anymore, whatever he’s going for, anyway, the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion is already in hand.

Xia Feng was very pleased with the Black Moon Pope’s behavior of delivering the S-Class Spiritual Artifact voluntarily, simply like a considerate little angel.

Therefore, to repay this kind-hearted Pope, Xia Feng decided that the next time he sees the Pope, he would help the Pope, who has already turned into an Artifact Disaster, to pursue the truth!

After all, without knowing where the Pope’s true body is, if he pursues the truth now, there’s a high possibility the Pope would suspect he, the Abyss Saint, possesses the extraordinary ability to ‘seize or annihilate Spiritual Artifacts’!

If it’s just the annihilation of B-level Spiritual Artifacts, it’s fine, the annihilation at this level may be rare, yet not extraordinary.

But to directly annihilate S-Class, making S-Class disappear, if the Pope spreads this news, the hostility of major forces towards him, the Abyss Saint, might immediately rise to the same level as Sirius.

Therefore, Xia Feng decided not to pursue the truth before having the certainty to utterly destroy the Black Moon Pope.

Meanwhile, he finally had time to carefully study the specific utility of the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion.

The Returning Ruins Power not only can immunize against many Spiritual attacks, but also can counterattack the aggressor, forcibly dragging them into the Returning Ruins state, this is undoubtedly a weapon against Miss Mu!

Although Miss Mu’s Alpha Spiritual Artifact power crushes S-Class, the Returning Ruins power may be weakened due to this.

But this isn’t the issue, the main problem now is that Miss Mu already knows of the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion existence, by then in ‘April’ probably would also guess he acquired the Returning Ruins Dream Expansion, thus wanting Miss Mu to actively use Alpha Spiritual Artifact against him might be difficult.

It seems a plan needs to be devised, to make Miss Mu voluntarily use the Spiritual Artifact against him.

And besides Returning Ruins, there are Dream Derivation and Dream World Realm abilities.

Dream Derivation isn’t much use to him, but fortunately, through sacrificing the ‘Dream Derivation’ ability, he can gain a chance to use Dream World Realm.

Unfortunately, Dream World Realm can only be used once.

Seeing this, Xia Feng’s thought process shifted.

[Optimization Successful—]

[S-Class·Returning Ruins Dream Expansion (Optimized Version)]

[Returning Ruins: When facing Divine Authority or Alpha-level Spiritual Artifact attacks, efficiency won’t weaken]

[Dream Derivation: After you Dream Derivation possess a flesh body, not only can you inherit experience, knowledge systems, memory commons of Spiritual Clothes, but also can inherit the highest S-Class Spiritual Artifact! But the S-Class Spiritual Artifact will have defects.]

[Dream World Realm: You can sacrifice the ‘Dream Derivation’ power, no longer able to use Dream Derivation power in the future, while simultaneously sacrificing all your memories to obtain {once} the ability to summon {yourself or others} from a time branch of the future, to assist in combat.]

Dream World Realm originally could only summon one’s own future, now it can summon others? Xia Feng saw this optimization, pondered thoughtfully.

This ability is very useful, but it seems to contain great risk, needs careful usage.

While contemplating, Xia Feng opened the Divine Mirror Platform, made a simple adjustment to the current Spiritual Artifact Position.

[Currently Own Spiritual Artifacts (6/6): S·Returning Ruins Dream Expansion, A Absolute Rebirth, A Yin Yang Mirror, A Nash Saintly Armor, A Holy Hand Guanyin, A Death Spirit Map]

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

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

[Undead Knight carries (2/3): B Ten Dragon Demon Cannon, B Reverse Time Spiritual Eyes]

The Spiritual Artifacts in the Spirit Map can be used at any time. The Death Map acts like a warehouse, where Spiritual Artifacts not needed for use can be stored, with a 24-hour cooldown, only retrievable after 24 hours.

As for the Undead Knight, it can only be used by the Undead Knight clone; he created three Undead Knight clones of himself using the Spirit Base Infant Transformation paired with the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor, stored in Nash Space, can be summoned for use anytime.

Strictly speaking, excluding the 5 Spiritual Artifacts in the Death Map that cannot be immediately used, the other 13 Spiritual Artifacts have no usage restrictions.

However, what’s causing Xia Feng’s distress is that the Spiritual Artifact Position is running out again, with 19 total Spiritual Artifact Positions, now used up 18, reaching the limit again.

Must hurry up and find similar ‘Death Spirit Map’ Spiritual Artifacts to increase Spiritual Artifact Positions.

…

Ground.

Everyone thought there was a good show to watch.

Unexpectedly, the Abyss Saint just went in for two seconds, the Sky Mirror World seemed to freeze frame and lag, turning purple at one moment, then blood-red across the screen, after another two seconds, the Sky Mirror cracked inch by inch, rapidly spreading, explosively bursting.

The Black Spade Man hovered in the cloud sky, gradually dissipating light flow, his black robe fluttered fiercely with the wind.

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

Clearly, he was already dead.

Of course, everyone knew it was impossible for the Black Moon Pope to come in the true body, not that easy to truly die.

The air only retained a faint hint of purple mist, but with the Black Moon Pope’s death, those purple mists seemed to lose their anchor, melting away completely.
