Chapter 149 - 132. Harmful and foolish things that are not beneficial to oneself

Surface of the earth, between stacks of grass smeared with blood. The man in pink trembles with fearful eyes, an invisible scythe of death chops down, severing his head from his torso. The regretful gaze in the eyes of his rolling head stiffens as it tumbles between the haystacks, finally stopping in front of Xia Feng’s feet. He Jianzhu easily took the lives of thirty people but preserved their souls intact. With a casual gesture, thirty spiritual bodies converged in the air, squeezing into a sphere. Their expressions hollow, they reached out in agony, attempting to return to their bodies. "What’s wrong? Aren’t you letting their souls scatter?" Xia Feng asked, puzzled. He Jianzhu seemed to have imprisoned these spiritual bodies, estimating they would dissipate in about two minutes. Only after the spiritual bodies dissipated would these people truly be dead. The woman in the plain dress looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "According to the rules, the Sky God can only intervene under two circumstances. The first is on the fourth night. The second, when the gods are killed. And these nobles are considered gods in the Calamity Realm." "So?" Xia Feng blinked, "Then just kill them, draw out the Sky God, and you take down the Sky God." He had already decided to rely completely on his mother-in-law and lay low. He Jianzhu glanced at Xia Feng with a smile in her beautiful eyes, "My silly son-in-law, Auntie here can’t defeat the Sky God now." "..." What kind of nickname is that! Xia Feng decided to let it slide, considering He Jianzhu was a bit more powerful than him. But what he didn’t expect was that He Jianzhu also couldn’t defeat the Sky God! "What should we do then?" "What to do? Of course, we escape," He Jianzhu said gently, looking at Xia Feng, her pale hand opening as a dark energy surged. "I can use my last strength to connect a portal to the Evil Realm, forcibly sending you there to escape this place." "Evil Realm?" Xia Feng was taken aback, wondering if escaping the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair. However, he soon sensed something amiss, "What about Mu Qingtong?" He looked towards the woman in black. "Her?" He Jianzhu also looked towards the expressionless Mu Qingtong, her eyes curving slightly, "Which is more important, a daughter or a son-in-law? Besides, such an unfilial daughter, if she dies, she dies, I could always have another." "..." Have another, your husband is gone, who will you have it with, Xia Feng once again experienced what they called deep maternal affection. Both of you wish for the other to hurry up and die, right! "Forget it, since mother-in-law you’re out of options, I won’t hide it anymore." Xia Feng lifted his face, confidently, "I’m laying my cards on the table, I actually have a way to deal with the Sky God." However, He Jianzhu ignored Xia Feng’s ’nonsense’ and glanced at Mu Qingtong again. Their gazes were calm, yet inexplicably filled with tension, sparks flying like flint striking steel. Mu Qingtong smiled serenely, unwilling to deal with this woman, and turned her head to speak softly, "Mr. Xia, it’s time to let this ignorant woman know how weak she really is." Mu Qingtong knew Xia Feng possessed the capability to directly destroy the Calamity Realm. After obtaining ’Anubis’s Final Gaze’, he had proudly boasted to her about it, surprising her, but she also understood Mr. Xia’s intention. Xia Feng usually wouldn’t reveal his cards unnecessarily, but he chose to tell her about ’Anubis’s Final Gaze’, clearly indicating that if she was ever unsure about handling the Calamity Realm, she could seek his help. She guessed he didn’t want her to die easily, a typical mindset of the strong Mr. Xia, and she didn’t coyly refuse such an arrangement, thus she specifically sought Xia Feng before departing this time. He Jianzhu looked puzzled at Xia Feng. "What do you mean? Do you really have a way to deal with the Sky God?" "Of course," Xia Feng smiled. "Although the Sky God is a Calamity, not as powerful as a comparable disaster, he is still of Seven-Eyed Level," He Jianzhu said skeptically, "Do you realize what Seven-Eyed Level entails?" Xia Feng of course knew. While Seven-Eyed beings were not yet god-ascendant, they had touched the threshold of divinity. Calamities, although slightly weaker than disasters, were still not easy to handle. Unfortunately, in the face of the nuclear weapon that is Anubis, any god-level or lower calamity must be utterly annihilated! He hadn’t thought he’d use this trump card so soon, but it just so happened that he encountered a Seven-Eyed Level Sky God. If the Sky God were even slightly lower in level, he might have actually hesitated to use it. But now, why not use it? After all, the final reward sounded like a good thing, and he didn’t want to go to the Evil Realm, a place filled with great evils. With his current strength, going there would not just be suicidal, but almost certainly fatal. "Miss Jianzhu, I understand the concept of Seven-Eyed Level," Xia Feng said, glancing at the gradually fading spiritual bodies, "but there’s no time to explain now, simply put, I’m going to collapse the entire Calamity Realm soon, so could you please protect the residents here?" Collapse the Calamity Realm? He Jianzhu paused, looking doubtfully at Xia Feng, but still nodded, "It’s possible, as long as you really can deal with the Sky God. Otherwise, I still suggest my method might be better." "The spiritual bodies are beginning to dissipate," Xia Feng turned around, feeling helpless, "Miss Jianzhu, please hurry, okay?" "You should call me mother-in-law," He Jianzhu murmured, raising her hand. Suddenly, the whole Calamity Realm space began to tremble, and a giant octopus emerged in the distant sky. Even though it had countless tentacles, resembling the previous tentacle creature, it looked less evil, its head splitting open as it fiercely inhaled. Buildings in rows on the ground crumbled instantly, old people and children, men and women were thrown into the air. Hundreds of people, totaling over seven hundred, their expressions filled with terror, had not even realized what had happened before they were devoured by the octopus head. The seven Spirit Masters beneath the Spiritual Meat Fruit tree received a signal from Xia Feng. Though puzzled, they did not resist and entered the octopus head. "Boom—" At that moment, there was a thunderous roar in the sky. A brawny man enveloped in lightning appeared abruptly on a cloud not far away, standing on a thundercloud. He looked around indifferently and noticed He Jianzhu and a woman in a black dress entering the octopus head, looking as though they were trying to escape. "Ha," he shook his head gently, "are they scared already?" After entering the space within the octopus head, He Jianzhu’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she monitored the situation outside. "Why are you so concerned about Mr. Xia?" Mu Qingtong’s quiet question suddenly rang out beside her. She glanced lightly at her disobedient daughter, the corners of her eyes softening, "You guess~" "..." "And my good daughter, why are you so concerned about him?" He Jianzhu was actually puzzled too; by all accounts, her daughter should be looking down on everyone. The woman in the black dress smirked lightly, "You guess~" "..." He Jianzhu’s gaze slightly narrowed, and she stopped bickering with her arrogant daughter, only smiling lightly, "Mu Qingtong, if he fails, I will only send him away, you’ll have to fend for yourself." Mu Qingtong’s golden eyes slanted at her mother, a silent, light laugh escaping her, as if mocking her mother’s ignorance and stupidity. "!" He Jianzhu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, she really felt like committing domestic violence. Boom boom— Outside, flashes of white brilliance flickered, and the moon hanging in the pitch-black night sky had unknowingly drawn near. Geng Gui, with his legs crossed, leaned against the edge of the palace, cracking sunflower seeds while observing the scene below. "Tsk tsk, what is He Jianzhu doing? Still thinking about protecting those fools?" Geng Gui shook his head mockingly, "Ten years ago, she wanted to save those people; ten years later, she’s regained her senses, but her initial intentions haven’t changed. Is she a saint?" Behind him, the pupils of Red Eyes flickered as he spoke lightly, "That’s why the Garden Keeper likes her, the garden needs a saint." "Hey~makes sense."

Geng Gui chuckled lightly, continuing with his seeds, his gaze shifting, "But what’s with that man, is he seeking death?" A man remained seated calmly on the ground, holding something in his palms with his hands together in prayer. The Sky God retracted his gaze from the gigantic octopus and then looked at the man sitting on the ground. He was dressed in white, his features plain. The brawny man, indifferent, gestured casually and a terrifying bolt of lightning turned into a column of light shaped like a snake falling from the sky. Amidst the thunderous roars, it descended directly upon the man’s head, as if it were divine punishment. Unexpectedly, the divine lightning halted abruptly above Xia Feng’s head. The electric light buzzing, layers of electric currents instantaneously spread around. Xia Feng’s hands were joined together, and it seemed as if there was a spherical thin membrane around him, blocking all attacks originating from within the Calamity Realm. At the same time, the strange aura surrounding him began to climb step by step, as if something was about to descend. The Sky God’s gaze turned slightly suspicious, he watched intently, easily sensing that the human’s Evil Breath Level was rapidly rising from One-eyed Evil straight to Four-eyed Calamity, Five-eyed Evil… "Huh? Interesting." Geng Gui’s gaze was puzzled but curious, "Is he summoning an Evil Beast? Couldn’t be calling a Seven-eyed Calamity, could he?" "If that’s the case, this place would be dangerous," he said as he stood up. "No need to worry." Red Eyes explained calmly, "This is a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm. Although a Seven-eyed Calamity has strong combat capabilities, it would first need to break through the barrier and enter this realm." "Oh, right," Geng Gui slapped his head and sat back down, relieved. In fact, even if an Eight-eyed Evil God came, even though it could easily suppress the Sky God, it would still be impossible to completely annihilate the Sky God. Situated in the human world’s Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm, protected by such a realm, there couldn’t be any real danger, Geng Gui smiled. Red Eyes continued calmly, "Of course, unless an Eight-eyed Evil God goes all out, willing to suffer great losses for a trivial gain. Only then it might instantly kill a Seven-eyed Level, otherwise, the Seven-eyed Level has the chance to escape with the realm." But calamities are life-preserving. Even if they had reached Divine Rank, they wouldn’t commit such foolish acts that harm the Evil and don’t benefit themselves. "Interesting." The Sky God quietly watched as the human’s aura of evil continuously climbed. Six-eyed Level, Seven-eyed Level! Eight-eyed Level!! When it reached the Eight-eyed Level, the Sky God’s brow slightly furrowed, "Has he actually summoned an Evil God?"
