I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 537 - 505. The Fox Immortal and the Immortal Word
Abyss Emperor He... Abyss Dragon God?
After listening to Jiang Qiue’s explanation, Xia Feng pondered thoughtfully. It seemed that she was a being as terrifyingly powerful as Evil Dragon Miss.
"So where are these two Dragon Gods now? Have they fallen?" he continued to ask.
"How could that be?"
Jiang Qiue shook her head slightly, "You come from Zone 51, so you should know that there is a forbidden area in Zone 51 called ’Evil Dragon Forest’, where for ten thousand years there have been rumors that within the depths of the forbidden area, a Demon Dragon is sealed, often emerging to slaughter adventurers who enter."
"That’s not entirely a rumor; in fact, the depths of the forbidden area are where the World Tree is located, and Pale Empress Disi is sealed within it."
"As for Abyss Emperor He, he is also sealed beneath Qitian Sacred Mountain for some reason."
The Abyss was sealed too? Xia Feng was surprised in his heart. That shouldn’t be the case.
However, he soon recalled that when he had met Evil Dragon Miss, she seemed not so willing to leave the Sealed Land.
He had speculated at the time that Evil Dragon Miss might have been sealed voluntarily.
As for the Abyss Dragon God sealed under Qitian Sacred Mountain...
Naturally, Xia Feng knew about Qitian Sacred Mountain, which was a mysterious forbidden area in the Empire’s third largest zone.
It was also a major rift between the Present Realm and the Evil Realm.
There were four major rifts between the Present Realm and the Evil Realm: Qitian Sacred Mountain, Evil Dragon Forest, Northern Territory Vortex, and Southern Border Dead Sea.
The Evil Clan’s armies had once invaded the Present Realm through these four major rifts.
Now, the first two had already been stably sealed, while the Northern Territory and Southern Border still occasionally had minor rifts through which a few members of the Evil Clan ventured and succeeded in invading the Present Realm.
For this reason, strong legion forces were stationed in the Eternal Flow Sea Domain of both the Northern Territory (Zone 49) and Southern Border (Zone 13).
Given this, Xia Feng couldn’t help but speculate: could it be that the two Dragon Gods, one sealed in Qitian and the other in the World Tree, were there to stabilize the great rift and prevent Evil Clan invasions?
Xia Feng didn’t continue to ponder but directly asked, "So, why were the two Dragon Gods sealed?"
"This matter has been touched by ’Secret Poison’, and your level of divinity is not high enough to block prying eyes. Knowing now might draw the attention of certain beings," said Jiang Qiue in a light voice. "Are you sure you want to know?"
Xia Feng: "..."
When he had asked Evil Dragon Miss the same thing before, she had told him the same. Xia Feng helplessly shook his head. Alright then, it’s not like it’s something very important.
"Nine-tailed."
Just then, an aged voice interrupted their silent exchange, saying with a light chuckle, "How about waiting until you and this young friend finish your emotional exchange; then the old man can wake up again?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"..."
Jiang Qiue pursed her lips, her expression cold, "Old Dragon King, I have fulfilled our agreement. It’s time for you to return my authority."
"Authority?" The old man’s sparse white eyebrows furrowed, puzzled. "What authority?"
"You can play dumb if you want," said the woman in the green dress, her beautiful eyes emotionless and ethereal. "But once I leave here, I will make public the news of where you’re hiding. I’m sure those gods desperately clinging to life will be very interested in your dragon corpse and blood."
"Oh, you’re talking about the Nine-tailed Authority..."
The old man slapped his forehead. "Ah, just look at this old man’s memory. Dragons get old, no longer useful..."
He touched the desiccated horns on his forehead, his wrinkled face showing helpless resignation, "Still, you younger deities have such good memories. It’s been tens of thousands of years, yet you remember so clearly."
Jiang Qiue, of course, didn’t believe the nonsense of the Old Dragon King. A Dragon King’s memory declining? Impossible. This old fellow was purely trying to weasel his way out.
In the past, she would naturally not dare to threaten the mysterious and unpredictable Old Dragon King so brazenly.
But times had changed.
The glorious era of the Dragon Clan had passed, and the new era’s ship did not have a place for them.
Of course, all of this was predicated on the Dragon God never appearing again...
Old Dragon King Saint Qing Boer casually flipped his hand, a mysterious light ball with a greenish-gold hue appeared in his palm, and drifted toward Jiang Qiue.
Xia Feng’s dark pupils narrowed slightly as he watched this light sphere.
Within the light ball, densely packed characters flickered; Xia Feng could vaguely make out characters such as ’Holy,’ ’Fox,’ ’Immortal,’ ’Release,’ ’Word,’ and others.
Furthermore, he could clearly feel the terrifying divinity contained within, but at this moment he had lost all desire to snatch it away.
Though regret lingered in his heart,
this object was a right unique to the Nine-tailed, and even now that it existed in the form of Divine Relics, it was still strongly connected to Jiang Qiue.
Even if he managed to seize it, not to mention whether Jiang Qiue could easily take it back, the question of whether he could use it at all was a major issue.
So, Xia Feng decided to hold his forces for now.
After all, now that he knew Jiang Qiue was the Nine-tailed Star God, the use of the Dragon God Order on her wouldn’t be a waste.
But how to successfully enslave Jiang Qiue was a very troublesome issue.
The light ball penetrated directly into the forehead of the woman in the green dress, dissipating to form a trail of immortal cyan patterns imprinted on her brow.
"Hum—"
Layers of interwoven aqua and gold waves emanated from the center of the woman in the green dress, rippling outward,
her long, smooth, ink-black hair danced in the air, and her aura became increasingly ethereal and detached, as her lightly closed beautiful eyes opened anew, with a faint gleam that flashed momentarily, peering into the distant sky untainted by dust.
Seeing her changing temperament, Xia Feng could not help but raise an eyebrow; he had to admit, this Jiang Qiue gave him a strange feeling, as if the person before him was a pure and lofty Goddess, holy and untouchable, not to be defiled by the likes of a mortal such as himself.
"Did you gain new abilities?"
Hearing Xia Feng’s query, Jiang Qiue slowly turned her head, her indifferent gaze quietly focused on the enemy before her.
"..." Xia Feng subconsciously thought to retreat, but fortunately, he held back, his expression impassive, "Jiang Qiue, you’d better honor our agreement."
He had now helped Jiang Qiue obtain the treasure; according to the agreement, the grudge between him and this ’stinking fox’ was to be wiped clean.
But judging by Jiang Qiue’s gaze, Xia Feng could already sense danger.
"Oh?" The Old Dragon King noticed the change in the atmosphere and the eyes between the two and suddenly became interested, "Little child, it seems your current situation is a bit dire, do you need the old man’s help?"
Jiang Qiue: "....."
Xia Feng blinked and looked to this warm-hearted old gentleman.
The Old Dragon King stroked his beard, smiling lightly as he spoke, "First of all, what I just gave to the Nine-tailed was the [Holy Release portion of the Nine-tailed Authority], you came into this place with her, so you should know her basic right is [Spoken Talisman], whereas the Holy Release authority is divided into [Immortal Word] and [Fox Immortal].
"I’m unclear about the powers of Fox Immortal, but I do know Immortal Word; it manifests as whatever she says comes true. For example, if she claims her height is a thousand meters, then she would take on a height of a thousand meters. The greater the impact of her ability on reality, the greater the consumption. According to my speculation, her Immortal Word is currently limited to herself..."
The Old Dragon King rapidly spouted off a bunch of information, directly exposing the abilities of the woman in the green dress to Xia Feng.
Jiang Qiue had already expected the old fellow to pull such a stunt; her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her lips pursed with disinterest in preventing it.
Of course, she couldn’t prevent it even if she wanted to.
She was curious to see what the Old Dragon King ultimately wanted to conjure up.
