"Red Carp, protect Mushroom. I'll be right back."
Xia Feng left his sword with Mushroom and turned to charge toward the Church Court mbers.
"Duplicate."
With a thought, the information about the human skin puppet surged forth.
[Duplicate successful——]
[Copy slot filled, B·Human Skin Puppet replaces A·Spiritual Artifact space]
Xia Feng felt that even with four copy slots, he was still stretched thin.
With the current trend, it couldn't always be that every ti a new Spiritual Artifact was duplicated, it would temporarily replace the Spiritual Artifact space, resulting in a 12-hour cooldown during which it couldn't be used, which was very disadvantageous for combat.
However, there really wasn't a good solution at the mont. Xia Feng shook his head and looked into the distance.
As the Divine Light from the end of the Star River approached, all the knights of the Church Court were kneeling on one knee, paying homage to the Divine Light.
Ito i, excited, spread her arms wide to receive the guidance of the Black Moon Goddess.
But at that mont, a dark figure appeared in the sky, blocking everyone's view.
"K-faced person?" The crowd recognized this mysterious shadow as the one who had been causing trouble in the Miracle Star River in recent days.
But what on earth was he doing? Jin Zhengen's eyes narrowed slightly, puzzled as he stared at the masked man.
The masked man too spread his arms wide as if to receive the Divine Light from afar.
"Could he be trying to intercept the 'Guiding Divine Light'?" Jin Zhengen found it sowhat amusing and turned his head to look at Ito i.
Ito i smiled faintly, nodding, "Don't worry, I sensed the guiding ssage, it's coming for —"
Suddenly— her words cut off abruptly as the Divine Light coming from afar montarily stalled, seemingly unsure of its direction, but finally, as Xia Feng stood in front, it instantly entered his body.
The knights: "???"
Ito i: "!!!"
Under their astonished gazes, the K-faced person looked back at them once, his figure slowly dissipating covered by golden light, being guided into the end of the Star River.
Although the K-faced person wore a mask, everyone could still vaguely sense the extrely evil sneering smile beneath it, as if mocking their ignorance and foolishness.
"Court death!" Jin Zhengen's gaze turned icy. Though slightly unexpected, he frowned but did not get too anxious. Turning back to Ito i, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"I..." Ito i seed bewildered, "I don't know...."
She didn't understand. The guiding ssage was clearly directed at her, so why did it take the masked person away?
"Indeed it's strange, but no need to worry." Knight Rek shook his head calmly at the side, "He probably used so sinister thod we don't know, but as long as this masked person isn't a Black Moon Believer, the goddess will surely kill him, sparing us the effort."
"That's true." Ito i regained her composure and nodded in relief.
"So all we need to do is wait here." Jin Zhengen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the end of the Star River, a slight smirk on his lips, "And let's see what this reckless fool intends to do."
In an instant, Xia Feng felt the star streams retreating around him in a distorted manner, and after a montary dizziness, his vision underwent a dramatic change.
In a world backed by darkness, layers of Sacred Golden Stairs extended into the high heavens. Xia Feng looked up and at the end of the Divine Stairs hung a black-gold crescent moon, with a Divinity woman coated in golden liquid sitting in ditation at the center of the crescent moon.
Her face was still obscured by the brilliance, and her features indistinct, but the Black Gold Crescent Moon Mark on her forehead was striking, majestic, and mysterious.
Thump, thump——at the sight of the Black Moon Goddess, Xia Feng's heart beat rapidly twice, because he sensed that it was.....
The ultimate concentration of Holy Liquid!
The Black Moon Goddess was completely covered in golden liquid, faintly forming a spiritual garnt... What an imnse amount of Holy Liquid it must be to form a garnt!
Xia Feng was shocked, his gaze intense.
At that mont, a black moon mark suddenly materialized in front of the Black Moon Goddess and raced toward Xia Feng, instantly entering the center of his forehead.
This was the Black Moon Mark, and being recognized by this mark would allow one to beco a prospective Holy Daughter.
However, Xia Feng was not a believer of the Black Moon. Lacking any Power of Faith, the mark sensed sothing wrong upon entering his body and exited his forehead.
At the sa ti, a trendous Divine Pressure instantly crashed into Xia Feng's soul. The Black Moon Mark quietly transford into a divine phantom, opening its majestic divine eyes to look down upon him, coldly sentencing him to death: "Irregular heretic, death."
Xia Feng's heart jolted in terror, the horrific pressure causing his bones to creak as he bent his knees, preparing to kneel and prostrate before the divine being above the Divine Rank, accepting his deathly fate. Yet, he was not panicked, nor did he imdiately use the Black Crow feathers to escape.
For he had sensed a response from the Dragon God's True Na when the Black Moon Mark had entered his soul, feeling an absolute suppressive force against the mark.
And indeed,
The mont the goddess's indifferent sentence fell, the terrifying pressure dissipated into nothingness, and as the divine phantom faded, the floating Black Moon Mark burst with a "bang," transforming into Spiritual Light and scattering.
Seeing this, Xia Feng sighed in relief and looked up.
According to what the Judgnt Chief, Zorav, had said before entering the Miracle Star River, only after receiving recognition from the Black Moon Mark and awakening the goddess in the Moon Surface Space would one be granted the Heavenly Stone Embryo.
So, now that the Black Moon Mark was destroyed, wouldn't the Black Moon Goddess remain asleep? Xia Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and turned to glance behind him.
Behind him, countless grand Star Rivers surged from the endless darkness behind, converging at this endpoint.
"Previously, when we were above the Star River, we could see the divine figure at the end," Xia Feng muttered to himself in confusion, "What am I supposed to do here... Can people above the Star River see this too?"
"emmm... Never mind!"
After pondering for a mont, Xia Feng shook his head and turned back to look at the goddess above the Divine Rank, took a deep breath, and ascended the steps.
He keenly noticed a faint Red Mist wafting around the golden stairs. As he climbed higher, the mist beca denser, and the Evil Demon Heart within him started to express a stronger sense of rejection.
The Red Mist seed to want to invade his soul, but with the influence of the Evil Demon Heart, it was entirely repelled.
The repelled Red Mist, relentless, enveloped his body. As he walked higher, his hands, feet, and torso were covered in a thick layer of blood-colored mist, like wearing heavy armor, making his movents cumberso.
When he reached the top, the Red Mist solidified all around him, gradually subjecting him to increasing pressure and pain, sweat beading on his forehead, unable to advance even slightly.
"What in the world is this..." Xia Feng frowned at the blood-like mist swirling around and the thick red layer on his body, feeling helpless.
He was only two ters away from the Black Moon Goddess, he couldn't give up now! Gritting his teeth, Xia Feng took one step, then another. He didn't feel much pain but was extrely tired, as if there were thousands of stones hanging from his limbs, making it difficult to move.
However, upon reaching the top, Xia Feng could finally see the Black Moon Goddess's face clearly.
Under the faint sacred radiance, there was a distinctly sculpted, solemn female face, her features seemingly a mix of Eastern and Western, with a divine crescent moon mark etched on her forehead, her beauty radiating an indescribable majesty.
Xia Feng took a deep breath, the final step!
He stepped forward, "thud—"
With Xia Feng's step, the Divine Rank resonated with a dull boom, and his body was completely enveloped by the Red Mist into a giant sphere, unable to move at all.
"....."
Damn it, Xia Feng was completely speechless, unable to move his limbs. How was he supposed to harvest the Holy Liquid now?!
