I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 677 - 677: 645. Empress: I have said...

The stars flow and gather, time suddenly halts.

A strong feeling of being pushed forward caused Xia Feng to stagger two steps, his pupils stunned. Before he could react further, he realized he was already standing upon golden stairs.

Countless illusory, pale gold long steps ascended layer upon layer, akin to the Ascension Stairs to meet the Divine Lord, directly connecting to the firmament.

He raised his head stiffly and gazed upward.

Sure enough.

Above the firmament, a majestic temple indeed looms amidst the dazzling starry sky, tranquil and mighty, like the sanctuary of the Heavenly God that has persisted from ancient wilderness to this day, profound and vast.

This is indeed an ancient Heaven Rank to meet the Divine Lord.

Xia Feng's scalp tingled, his whole body tense.

He naturally recognized what place this was.

Apocalypse Temple!

The covers of many textbooks in the Empire depict this temple scene.

It's just that the cover image lacks numerous details, far from the shock of being present now.

The specific origins of Apocalypse Temple are unverifiable.

It's only said that during the Middle Ages Chaos before the Empire unified the Present Realm, the temple already existed and was held by Princess Tianwu.

Later, Princess Tianwu successively conquered Qian Yuan, Great Li, Great Shang, and the Three Saints Sect, ended the forty-five-thousand-year Chronicle Era, and established the Central Court Empire.

Once the Empire was established, Empress Tianwu gradually faded from the historical stage.

The Central Courtyard Imperial Throne also hung empty for a full ten thousand years.

Of course, these are not the focus.

The focal point is that Empress Tianwu was really transformed from the Dragon God's Remnant Soul...

And at this moment, Xia Feng, forcibly teleported to Apocalypse Temple by the trap set by this Dragon God's Remnant Soul, arrived at the territory of the Eighth Generation Residual Soul.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng instantly understood that the mysterious entity who just helped him escape was actually Mi Liu, that bald nun.

Mi Liu pretended to chase him to apply pressure while secretly transmitting sound to guide him into the teleportation gate trap.

As for the massive gate standing at the ocean floor, it should be the legendary [Star Realm Gate].

The Empire uses space gates for wars, classified into Zone-level Space Gate, Domain-level Space Gate, Forbidden Technique Space Gate, and the most powerful Star Realm Gate.

The Empress spared no resources to open the Star Realm Gate to capture him, truly going to great lengths.

"Buzz—" Meanwhile, Xia Feng's heart palpitated, he hurriedly activated the Pale Seal deep within his soul.

The Dragon God said, as long as the Eighth Generation nears him, the Dragon God can use the Pale Seal as a medium to establish a soul link with the Residual Soul, merging the memories of the Eighth Generation! Thus indirectly escaping the Sealed Land, possessing a physical body in the Present Realm.

Now that the Eighth Generation actively seeks him out, Xia Feng dared not hesitate.

But what pushed his mood to rock bottom was that two seconds passed, and the Pale Seal showed no reaction.

The seal seemed... malfunctioning?

Xia Feng's brow furrowed, scanning around. Was it due to Apocalypse Temple?

No wonder the Eighth Generation went through so much trouble to bring him to Apocalypse Temple, seemingly intending to rely on its protection to cause trouble for him.

Xia Feng heaved a sigh, looked up anew at the majestic temple.

As his gaze fell, the ancient heavenly gate of the temple gently opened a crack, the door slowly opened postern.

From within erupted strands of soft golden light like the morning glow.

At the same time, Xia Feng finds his legs disobediently lifting, ascending step by step from the bottom of the golden stairs towards the sky on the road of audience.

Xia Feng tried to resist, but found all methods like sinking into the sea, utterly ineffective.

This was complete overpowering of strength.

He completely surrendered, and soon reached in front of the majestic divine gate.

Beside the divine gate stood a solemn knight, whose brow was engraved with a Saint White circle-shaped mark, tall and dignified.

The knight held a holy giant sword before him, eyes closed as if lifeless.

Xia Feng's black eyes narrowed, though he didn't know who this person was, he could clearly feel the overwhelming oppressive aura emanating from this person, a hundred times more terrifying than Mi Liu.

Just the gaze made Xia Feng's pupils faintly sting.

At the same time, his legs uncontrollably stepped through the divine gate.

"Buzz—" The three-thousand-meter-high heavenly divine door suddenly closed, Xia Feng inexplicably felt a magnificent force directly pressuring his soul, vast gold in sight, his black pupils lightly squinted, raising a hand to shield from light.

When the divine light dissipated, it was a vast ancient earth and sky.

Amidst the heavens and earth, there's nothing else, only a pale Divine Dragon that Xia Feng strains his neck to barely see in entirety...

It coils its serpent-like long body, occupying this heaven and earth, and due to its massive size, the universe seems unable to contain its Divine Body.

The vast universe appeared somewhat cramped, insignificant.

Xia Feng secretly swallowed, activated the Eye of Decompilation striving to look far, finally piercing through layers of faint golden mist, gaze arriving at the vast cloud top.

The pale dragon head bows, slender horns like peaks, at the center of the brow was the Dark Gold Holy Cross, its dragon eyes quietly closed as if falling into eternal slumber.

Not bad, this was his first time seeing the complete form of the True Dragon.

Amidst Xia Feng's shock, he simultaneously felt the weight pressing on his soul climb upward to an unprecedented peak, causing his knees to tremble involuntarily and a reverent urge to worship the pale Divine Dragon arose from within.

"Buzz—" But with the flash of the character [Si] on the soul seal, the terrifying horror that nearly drove him to collapse quickly faded.

"Whew—" Xia Feng's heart, pounding up to his throat, slowly settled, and he secretly sighed in relief.

But in this moment, he noticed on that pale dragon head, the elongated horns with divine gold lines, forming a gilded high-backed throne.

A woman dressed in a Dark Gold Emperor's Robe rested her elbow on the armrest, supporting her delicate chin, eyes closed, lazily sitting upon it.

Xia Feng's black pupils contracted sharply, in a daze, as if the one on the throne was Evil Dragon Miss.

Identical appearance, breathtaking beauty, authoritative presence.

However, there were still significant differences between the throne woman and Evil Dragon Miss.

The throne woman's left eye corner didn't have the embellishment of pale Dragon Scales, though her tied-up hair color with the golden hairpin was indeed like Evil Dragon Miss's, a cloud gray gentle shade.

But upon closer inspection, one can find the throne woman's aura was even colder and bone-chilling.

That Dark Gold Emperor's Robe added to her authoritative noble vibe.

This was the Dragon God's eighth generation residual soul?

While Xia Feng was observing the throne woman, she seemed to barely notice him, slowly raised her divine eyes that were lowered.

Those eyes, so familiar to Xia Feng, akin to the sacred white abyss, glared down, the divine sound reverberating throughout the heavens and earth, cold and authoritative:

"Xia Feng, do you still remember what I said."

What you said? Xia Feng pondered, what did you say?

"Ah?" He blinked, using one word to express confusion.

"....."

The Empress didn't expect Xia Feng to not even keep what she said in mind, extremely arrogant!

This awakening.

Earlier, the Pillar Country that followed her through campaigns perished two, her empire constructed by her own hands had already undergone drastic changes, departing from her control.

To regain control over the Empire, this arrogant believer received by her original form became crucial.

But that didn't mean the other party was qualified to act recklessly before her!
