I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 705 - 705: 673. Dragon God Authority!

In the battle for the Sumeru Throne, the Sumeru Token can give Spirit Masters an initial advantage.

But since it's an identity token, you should only be able to get one.

Now that Xia Feng possesses the identity of the Black King, he doesn't need to compete for the Red King.

As Xia Feng and his three companions were discussing strategies, four Apostles disguised themselves as four Black Moon Priests and, after opening a small door seal in Black Moon City, were guided by a Black Moon Priest to enter the city.

Currently, Black Moon City is completely sealed, and in front of a Divine-level seal, no one can leave the city.

However, outsiders can still enter the city after passing through layers of verification and if their identity is correct.

"It seems your Black Moon Church has been seriously infiltrated."

Xia Feng observed the outside scene,

The disguises of the four Apostles were skillful, but a Red Bishop still detected the abnormality.

The Red Bishop did not reveal the four Apostles but stamped the official seal and let them into the city.

"That's actually good." Cha Naixue mused, "We couldn't find a way to sneak into the city ourselves, but now we are spared a lot of trouble."

The architecture of Black Moon Church tends towards a Baroque style of old Europe, with distinct carvings and vibrant colors, creating a majestic and grand city of faith with its domes and cupolas.

However, it's nearing dusk, and the entire city is shrouded in the shadow of dark clouds.

A storm is brewing.

There are few pedestrians and vehicles on the street.

In fact, Black Moon City is called a city, but its scope is quite large, roughly the size of Earth's... Korea.

The four Apostles disguised as ordinary priests quickly arrived at a remote church nestled within the civilian area.

Today is not a day of worship, and the rows of mass benches are empty. Only a single goddess statue with closed eyes and crossed arms quietly hangs high upon the sacred wall above the dimly lit altar.

Moonlight streams through the window panes, casting a few strands of cool, bright light.

"Dong—"

The Blood Bat dispersed, and the elliptical structure wrapped in molten lava landed sonorously beneath the Black Moon Goddess Statue.

Leng Xiu, like a winged beast, grinned, crouching by the windowsill edge. He twisted his neck to emit a crisp crackle, "Has that old hag from An Ji been caught? Why isn't she here yet?"

Burning City raised its molten head, looking up at the Black Moon Goddess Statue, its dignified golden eyes slightly narrowed, and turned back to ask coldly, "Blood Ghost, how long until your Divine Faith Fruit matures?"

The bone-white back of Leng Xiu's hand was engraved with a blood-red cross. With a slight raise of his hand, a platinum fruit resembling a mango floated up.

The surface of the fruit skin had fiery red rune glows swirling around it, exuding a divine aura that chills the heart.

"It has matured." Leng Xiu chuckled lightly, clicking his tongue, "The timing is just right, though this fruit was indeed difficult to cultivate, it took me all these years to finally succeed with one."

Meanwhile, within the safe house.

Xia Feng was also somewhat startled as he looked at the fruit in Leng Xiu's hand.

He has currently learned six A-level Spiritual Clothes, among which the [Divine King Statue] was learned being the first time he encountered Jiang Qiue on 'Witch Island'.

Since leaving Witch Island, he had rarely used the Divine King Statue.

Because to fully utilize the true power of this Dao Spirit Clothes, the conditions for use are quite special.

[Divine Majesty: Release the Divine Power Domain, increasing your agility by 10%, while other life forms within the domain....]

[Divine Believer: After consuming a 'Divine Faith Fruit', you can invoke a Divine Believer once, temporarily receiving a grant of authority from the deity you believe in.]

Divine Faith Fruit!

Authority grant!

If I could get this fruit, would I be able to use an authority of the Dragon God?

Xia Feng, who was initially somewhat bored, suddenly became alert,

According to what he understands, such a Spiritual Fruit would be born at the place where a Sage fell, and moreover, the Sage would need to be a devoted divine believer. Only after their fall, through a special environment, would the Power of Faith evolve over hundreds of years into the Divine Faith Fruit.

It can be said that each Divine Faith Fruit represents a lifetime of faith from a Sage.

Extremely rare.

"According to An Ji Saint Shepherd's conditions, give her the 'Divine Faith Fruit' and 'Fourth Spark's whereabouts', and she will give us the 'Sumeru King Order'."

The hooded figure wrapped in a gray robe buzzed like a mosquito, almost inaudible, "But would she really hand over something as important as the Sumeru King Order obediently?"

"I've heard that after this old thing defected from the General Court, her state has been somewhat deranged, so there is indeed a possibility she might directly turn against us." Leng Xiu casually retracted the Divine Faith Fruit into the cross on his hand, clicking his tongue.

Burning City nodded, "Even though both An Ji Saint Shepherd and I exist within the Holy Realm, An Ji Saint Shepherd entered the Holy Realm a millennium earlier than I did. Even I find it hard to confront her directly, so be careful when she arrives...."

Xia Feng listened to the conversation of the three outsiders and felt a bit overwhelmed by the information.

Firstly, An Ji Saint Shepherd seems very powerful, to the extent that even the Apostle Burning City is very cautious of her.

Secondly, An Ji Saint Shepherd's mental state may have some issues?

Thirdly, there are the transaction terms between these two forces.

Burning Heaven wants the Sumeru King Order, and An Ji wants the Divine Faith Fruit and the whereabouts of the Fourth Spark.

Fire Seed... for some reason, Xia Feng feels that it sounds familiar.

Puzzled, he once again immersed his consciousness into Nash Space.

There were quite a few things hoarded within the Nash Space, including a vaguely luminescent golden-red flame drifting in an obscure corner, long forgotten by Xia Feng.

[Divine Relic · Fifth Spark]

[· Key to the Fourth Divine Treasure ·]

[· Sealed Authority Fragment of Guihua Star God ·]

This item was something he managed to steal when he encountered Golden Sparrow and the Lidong Army while they were fighting over it in Region 51.

Initially, he wanted Yue Hongli to absorb it, but found it impossible, so it ended up neglected in the corner for more than a year.

Now with the Apostle of Burning Heaven mentioning it, it reminded him that he still had this item.

The Fire Seed is related to so-called Divine Treasures, Guihua Star God, and Yue Hongli, and was contested by major imperial forces.

Previously, the Eighth Generation Empress also wanted to enslave Yue Hongli, or more accurately, to enslave Guihua Star God.

Thus, Yue Hongli's identity seems more and more mysterious.

However....

Whether it's the Sumeru King Order or the divine secrets behind the Fire Seed, these are not matters Xia Feng wants to focus on.

He just wants to obtain the Divine Faith Fruit.

And trying to seize food from the mouths of both An Ji Saint Shepherd and Burning Heaven Apostles is not a task of ordinary difficulty.

However, after seeing Leng Xiu retrieve the Divine Faith Fruit back into the blood-red cross pattern on his hand, Xia Feng keenly sensed.

That cross pattern seems to be a....

Spiritual Artifact?

Xia Feng couldn't help but recall Burning City's earlier question to the Blood Ghost, asking how long until the Divine Faith Fruit matures?

So is this a Spiritual Artifact that can directly cultivate Spiritual Fruits while ignoring the growth environment?

If that's the case, then.....

Then it truly is a good Spiritual Artifact! Xia Feng's black eyes sparkled, I like it~
