Chapter 469: 437. Princess Nanxi
Staring~
The believer's black pupils glowed fiercely, as if they could pierce right through her soul.
The star-dressed woman snapped back to reality, her imposing vertical pupils focusing as she pursed her lips in displeasure, "Do not call Us 'Evil Dragon Miss'!"
"Of course, Evil Dragon Miss. So, do you know what the body of a Spiritual Artifact means?"
".....!"
Bad believer! Disi scolded inwardly, her face expressionless as she explained, "That should be an ability of the Spirit Face Disaster."
Spirit Face Disaster? Xia Feng felt the name sounded somewhat familiar.
Before entering the Calamity Realm, the General Saint King seemed to have mentioned that Huaze Tuo was transformed into an Evil by the "Spirit Face Supreme" two hundred years ago.
This was a Supreme of the Evil Clan from the Imaginary Court.
"The innate ability of the Spirit Face clan possesses the power to share human Spiritual Artifacts. As long as they sign a contract with humans and complete a certain ritual, they can use human Spiritual Artifacts.
Therefore, this clan was very fond of raising humans in ancient times, trying by all means to increase the probability of humans awakening their Spiritual Devices."
"As the god of the Spirit Face clan, the Spirit Face Supreme wields a power called 'Spirit Face Disaster Relief'."
Upon hearing of Disaster Relief, Xia Feng remembered that he had learned this knowledge before.
Disaster Relief was a special ability granted by the power of the Evil God to humans turned into Evils, similar to Spiritual Unsealing. Without the need for study or cultivation, one could use these powers. The most well-known were the "Bone-faced Curse" and "Spirit Face Disaster Relief."
Bone-faced Curse originated from the "Bone-faced Supreme". After some more stable Evils offered their souls and bones to the unborn Evil Beasts under the Divine Gift of the Bone-faced Supreme— the Evil would become the host body for the Evil Beast, the advantage being the ability to harness the innate talents of the Evil Beast's race.
Xia Feng understood Bone-faced Curse, as the spider-man he had previously encountered, with the bony spider covering its head, must have been some kind of fetal-stage Evil Beast.
Disi continued, "Spirit Face Disaster Relief involves the Evil offering a Spiritual Artifact as a sacrifice, allowing the Spiritual Artifact and 'low-Level Evil Beasts with fewer than four eyes' to integrate, turning the Spiritual Artifact into the Evil's physical body. This Evil then gains the body of a Spiritual Artifact, simultaneously possessing both the powers of the Spiritual Artifact and the innate talents of the Evil Clan."
"So, for an Evil, Spirit Face Disaster Relief doesn't offer much benefit. Bone-faced Curse can still somewhat control the Evil Beasts, but Spirit Face Disaster Relief essentially hands over one's Spiritual Artifact to the Evil Beast without the ability to control it. The only advantage is that the Evil's life will be bound to that of the Evil Beast, and the Spiritual Artifact will be strengthened to a certain extent according to the innate talents of the Evil Clan."
"The higher the level of the Spiritual Artifact, the more obvious this enhancement tends to be."
Listening to Evil Dragon Miss's explanation, Xia Feng thought of the Heavenly Gifted Disaster of the Burning Heaven Temple, whose power also related to Spiritual Artifacts, except it directly turned the Spiritual Artifacts into conscious life forms.
Spirit Face Disaster, on the other hand, integrated the Spiritual Artifact with the Evil Beast, allowing the Evil Beast to become the consciousness of the Spiritual Artifact.
Xia Feng had tried, and he was able to replicate the effects of Spiritual Artifact under the influence of Heavenly Gifted Disaster.
As for this Spirit Face Disaster... he didn't know if his replicating ability would have an effect on it.
But regardless, he would find out when he tried it.
Xia Feng wandered around a bit more, ascertained the direction of the Charming Spirit Clan Royal City, and then began moving towards the Royal City.
His secondary goal now was to find a way to 'gift' the Charming Spirit Queen with a Dragon God Order and bring her under his command.
Directly resolving the issue at its root.
Indeed, this method seemed a bit far-fetched and difficult to achieve.
So, his primary goal was to find Huaze Tuo within 24 hours, to take away the Evil Heart Demon Blood in his possession... and to see if he could replicate the Spirit Transformed Spiritual Artifacts.
He just didn't know what level Huaze Tuo's Spiritual Artifact was at and hoped it wouldn't be too weak.
As he pondered, Xia Feng sped along the way, seeing many promotional posters about 'Princess Nanxi's Grand Wedding,'
I must say, the Calamity Realm was truly vast. Xia Feng ran for ten hours, passing through unique cities, before finally reaching the outskirts of the Royal City.
He guessed that there must be some unique means of teleportation between these cities, but Xia Feng, in order not to raise any alarms, did not seek out these teleportation points.
All along the way, he could see each city dazzling with a myriad of Charming Spirit lights and broadcasting platforms constructed of Charming Shadow Stones in various squares, all set up for the grand upcoming wedding throughout the Charming Spirit Calamity Realm.
Royal City, a certain castle.
Atop the ancient and dark throne, a woman in a wedding dress was now sitting.
The wedding dress, designed in the noble and elegant Baroque style with silver white lace cascading like a waterfall, trailed along the ground with layers of light gauze enveloping her beautifully long and fair legs, crossed languidly.
Her delicate hand, painted with light rose powder, was propped against her jaw, her narrow, charming Phoenix Eyes squinting coldly and with displeasure,
"Huaze Tuo, I believe I've told you before that, before getting married, you must not leave the Royal City, and you must not cause any more trouble. Are you taking this princess's words as nothing but wind passing by your ear?"
Below the Royal Stairs, a man in a neatly pressed white suit was lazily leaning against a column.
Huaze Tuo was accustomed to the woman's tone.
This Charming Spirit Princess had already been captivated by his charm and had fallen deeply in love with him. But the Charming Spirit Princess was by nature arrogant and had always looked down on humans, naturally looking down on him as well... Huaze Tuo chuckled inwardly, his peach blossom eyes charming, "My dear princess, are you worried about my safety?"
"Huaze Tuo, correct your attitude!"
Princess Nanxi's gaze grew slightly cold, her delicate face supremely arrogant, mocking, "For someone as lowly as you, a human, to gain this princess's affection, you should feel honored."
"Buzz—"
A powerful oppressive force came surging, and Huaze Tuo's expression changed slightly; he immediately knelt on one knee, not daring to further tease the haughty princess.
"Has that human carrying a large amount of Evil Heart Demon Blood died?" Princess Nanxi asked casually.
Huaze Tuo corrected his posture, bowed his head in a deep voice, "Not yet, still searching."
"What a waste," mocked Princess Nanxi, her face full of arrogance, "You needn't bother with this matter anymore. I'll make sure to tear that lowly human into pieces and lay them before you."
"Yes." Huaze Tuo responded respectfully, his lips curving into a smile. That human with the Space Spiritual Artifact was probably going to be in trouble soon.
The Charming Spirit Princess was different from other Charming Spirits; she looked down on humans very much. Whenever she encountered a human that annoyed her, she wouldn't stop until she'd tortured them to her satisfaction.
"Buzz—"
Just then, the space vibrated, and Huaze Tuo looked up.
Above the head of the woman in the wedding dress, a three-dimensional eye outlined in black and white floated.
The pupil of the eye, a crisscross of red lines, was now spinning clockwise, accelerating as red waves of light radiated outward, and the woman in the wedding dress slightly lifted her beautiful eyes.
The light red goat horn on her forehead also lit up with a scorching red glow, sending out countless red threads into the air, intricately connecting to the eye above.
With a sharp pull downward, the eye was yanked to the bride's forehead, fitting perfectly.
[Fusion successful——]
[Time taken: 100 years 16 hours 3 minutes 09 seconds]
[Spirit Face Contract successfully established——]
Huaze Tuo could feel his fate now linked to the woman in the wedding dress. At the same time, he had lost control over [A-level Spiritual Artifact·Eye of Mistakes]!
