I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 996. Hua, come with me and serve our master well.
Xia Feng was unaware of Hua Shen's plan, but after realizing that Hua Shen's goal had always been the Empress, he vaguely realized that Hua Shen's previous willingness to bleed money to trade for the Golden Sparrow Feather was not quite right.

Although Hua Shen had to give him three golden sparrow feathers in order to ask for his help in removing the Heavenly Calamity Poison so that she could successfully seize Tian Shu Wu.

But it's hard to say whether this old patron has been plotting something and might be tampering with the golden sparrow's feathers.

Xia Feng quickly conveyed these matters to the Empress through his thoughts.

"It's alright. I am just a useless wisp of spirit in the sealed land. The primary goal now is to make Hua lower her guard."

The Empress responded in her mind and swallowed the feather.

Xia Feng was surprised: "So Your Majesty, you actually anticipated that Hua Shen would cause you trouble when Fentian invaded."

"Of course, otherwise, why would I, being a remnant spirit, specifically send a wisp of even weaker ethereal spirit to the sealed land?"

The woman in the imperial dress glanced at Xia Feng with her beautiful eyes, her thoughts cold. "I told you long ago that I would take you back to the sealed land to see your true form sooner or later. You didn't need to scheme against me like that before."

"."

Heh~ So all that time you pretended to be Miss Evil Dragon to trick me was just a side thing? Xia Feng secretly rolled his eyes.

However, upon closer reflection, the Empress's purpose in having him trade celestial spiritual energy for the Golden Bird Flower and even actively approaching the Goddess Hua was probably to attract the Goddess Hua's attention and make her unable to resist taking the bait.

Then, using the black crow feathers, they were smuggled into the sealed land, disguised as the Temple of Apocalypse.

In this light, both Hua Shen and Tianwu Empress are old protectors, secretly setting traps for each other, while Xia Feng is the only pitiful pawn.

But so be it. As long as it benefits Miss Evil Dragon, a pawn is a pawn, it doesn't matter.

Now, only one last step remains: to successfully awaken the Dragon God's true form using the Five Heavenly Pivots and the Spirit-Summoning Tree. Only then can the Flower God be easily suppressed, leaving her with nowhere to escape!
This step is also the most difficult one.

The question is how to seize Tian Shu Wu, which is controlled by Hua Shen, in order to reduce the sealing power of the sealed land.

Without the fifth point of the Heavenly Pivot, the sealing power cannot be reduced, and Miss Evil Dragon cannot be awakened.

However, only Miss Evil Dragon can snatch the fifth Heavenly Pivot.

It's a complete paradox.

"Buzz—" The rose-red light on the back of his hand flickered and continued to fade. Xia Feng glanced at it and saw that the Guihua Calamity Contract was almost invisible and was about to shatter.

This is Tian Shu Wu's power to annihilate the disaster contract, and he is about to succeed.

Once the Guhua Calamity Contract disappears, Xia Feng will no longer have the power to restrain or threaten the Goddess of Hua. The Star Position Devouring will likely be completed at the same time, allowing him to become a true god, or even a celestial god.

Seeing this, Xia Feng knew he couldn't wait any longer.

The woman in the phoenix dress leaned languidly against the throne. Unlike her majestic and indifferent demeanor before the Golden Sparrow Clan, she now crossed her legs, her snow-white feet swinging leisurely back and forth. The mocking malice at the corner of her lips was undisguised, as if she had already imagined how to torture that lowly human. Her slightly narrowed, upturned rose-colored eyes became increasingly pleased.

Clearly, the mother of the golden pheasant is not a proper deity.

However, just as she was filled with countless thoughts, thinking of the 108th form of torture to torment Xia Feng, she suddenly looked puzzled.

The Gemini constellation rotating clockwise between his brows suddenly stopped, and one of the rose-red, gold-tinged stars twisted and emitted a ghostly light.

Seemingly sensing something was wrong, her eyes changed slightly. She quickly sat up straight and pointed a finger at her brow, but she couldn't stop or escape the sneak attack from her own soul.

An ancient, magnificent, dark, and dilapidated tower suddenly appeared above her, enveloping her precisely within its confines.

"Boom—!!" The tower crashed to the ground, creating a shallow crater a hundred meters in diameter, and the thousand-meter-tall ruins pierced the clouds. However, compared to the World Tree, which stood ten thousand meters tall, it was still extremely small.

Although the Black Tower had not recovered to its maximum size, it was still enough to suppress Hua Shen.

The woman in the phoenix dress had a solemn expression as she looked around at the hazy gray mist.

She hadn't seen such a dense concentration of evil energy in a long time. Was this... the Refining God Tower?
The Demon's Tower of Divine Refinement?!
That lowly human has a connection with the Demon Lord?! The woman in the phoenix dress narrowed her beautiful, fox-like eyes.

Xia Feng, so this is where you were waiting for me!
Since you can't stop me from devouring the Moon Red Carp, then hide the Refining God Tower for the Moon Red Carp. When my soul and the Moon Red Carp's souls become one, release the Refining God Tower so that I have nowhere to escape.

The woman in the phoenix dress realized the key point.
Under normal circumstances, the Refining God Tower's cumbersome movement speed would make it impossible for it to imprison her.

But when the barrier of the Divine Refining Tower unfolds from one's own soul, everything changes.

Wherever she went, the barrier of the Divine Refining Tower followed, making it impossible for her to escape.

"Buzz—!" The sea swirled, frantically converging towards the swaying phoenix skirt at its center.

These ominous mists, imbued with the unique properties of the Divine Refining Tower, possess the ability to suppress or even devour divine power.

Hua Shen clearly sensed that the divine power she had accumulated over ten thousand years was rapidly dissipating. Since she had not yet returned to her divine position, she could only rely on unorthodox methods to accumulate divine power for herself, which was more than a thousand times less efficient than that of a true god.

Therefore, the loss of this divine power caused her aura to plummet, making it impossible for her to continue suppressing and stabilizing Tian Shu Wu.

The small, silvery sphere in her spiritual sea, which was filled with countless double images, produced even more double images. In less than two seconds, it filled her spiritual essence and began to impact her incomplete divine status.

Tormented by intense mental pain, as if her soul were about to burst apart at any moment, the woman in the phoenix dress abruptly closed her eyes, suspended in mid-air amidst the gray mist, her entire body trembling almost imperceptibly.

"Is this the backlash from Tian Shu Wu?" she murmured to herself, but then boundless rage surged within her.

Because a pair of fox-like, rose-colored eyes, exactly like hers, quietly opened in the darkness, stared intently at her, blinked, and commented: "Silly Hua, just as Master said, you're nothing special."

"!!!"

The woman in the phoenix dress suddenly opened her eyes, but her gaze had changed; it was less majestic and languid, and more innocent and solemn.

She raised her hands and glanced at the long-unseen divine body, nodding in satisfaction: "Hua, in the future, I will serve our master well with you!"

"?!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes shifted again, sometimes stern and angry, sometimes blinking innocently. She raised her left hand to remove the silver ball, Tian Shu Wu, that had appeared between her eyebrows, while her right hand suddenly grabbed her left wrist and pulled it back to her eyebrows.

Her beautiful face turned serious as she began to fight with both hands simultaneously.

However, under the backlash of Tian Shu, the main personality's consciousness was briefly confused. In an instant, it was unable to resist the sudden sneak attack from the secondary personality, which took the initiative and completely pulled Tian Shu Wu out of its soul and threw it out of the tower, rushing straight towards Xia Feng.

After completing all this in two instants, the alternate personality was no longer able to resist and the main personality regained control. The woman in the phoenix dress had her rose-red pupils slightly constricted.

She knew she couldn't wait any longer. Once Tian Shu Wu fell into Xia Feng's hands, the Empress would have the means to control her.

As for whether the Calamity Pact has collapsed, there's no time to worry about that now; she must become a god immediately!

Buzz—the Gemini constellation between my eyebrows began to shine brightly.
