I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 778 - 778: 746.4A1N

Evil River.

Most of the world was engulfed in black, with only a few grey currents and white spots of light flickering in the darkness.

Time was frozen, no light, no sound, only eternal silence and darkness ruled everything.

This was a world of deathly stillness with only three colors: black, grey, and white.

However, at this moment, at the end of the Evil River, at the center of the darkness, a light spot ignited, rapidly expanding into a pure white orb of light, like a blazing sun, constantly emitting scorching rays, illuminating the Evil River.

Yet in the next moment, all the light escaping to the endless distance retreated as if time was flowing backward, drawn back into the light orb, forming the shape of a fetus.

The fetal light orb shimmered and ultimately transformed into the shape of an adult human, entirely composed of blazing white.

His eyelids gently raised, pure white pupils frozen in astonishment.

He lowered his head, looked at his hands made up of the strange blazing white light, the dazed look in his eyes quickly clearing as he recalled everything that happened before.

Even without seeing what happened afterward, his presence in the Evil River undoubtedly indicated that Miss Mu had succeeded in completing the Time Cover.

[Spiritual Artifact...]

Xia Feng felt the state of his body, and indeed, the means he now possessed were vast, encompassing the abilities of the Star God, Evil God, and Dragon God systems.

In addition to various A-Level Spiritual Artifacts.

His methods against opponents were increasingly varied.

In contemplation, Xia Feng closed his eyes and invoked the Green Bone Tracking Skill.

Unexpectedly, it was a pitch black void; Miss Mu hadn't taken his bones with her.

Uncertain of what went wrong, Xia Feng was puzzled and withdrew his gaze, opening his hand.

An ancient and simple black token appeared.

[Sumeru King's Order·Black King]

[Player number: 9-27]

[Your Life Points are the highest on the ninth roulette, making you the winner of the ninth roulette]

[Seat: 9]

[Current Life Points: 2100 (can be exchanged or gifted during the Sumeru Throne contest for an advantage)]

[Note 1: Sages or above cannot participate in the throne contest]

[Note 2: Players can advance to Sage during the throne contest]

[Note 3...]

[Time until the Sumeru Battle begins: 40 days]

[As the last one to obtain a seat, you have a compensatory advantage to investigate identities—you may choose one of the first eight seats to learn the true identity]

[Please choose: 1...2...3...]

In his mind, eight brilliant gold sequence numbers appeared.

It was a complete blind choice; Xia Feng couldn't discern any difference among these numbers. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision.

[You chose to learn the identity of the first seat holder—]

After all, being the first to obtain a Sumeru Seat, perhaps they had some extraordinary qualities compared to the remaining seven.

In a blind choice, selecting the first is usually a safe bet.

[Seat: 1]

[Name: Huang Zhaoyue]

[Realm: Second Cycle·Peak of the Holy Realm]

[Spiritual Artifact: Broken and awaiting repair·S-Class]

[Dao Fruit: 4A·1N]

"Hmm?"

The first seat turned out to be this Imperial Concubine.

Every piece of information shown on the panel surprised Xia Feng.

The meaning of the second cycle of cultivation likely indicates that after entering Sage, she dissolved her Dao Fruit to achieve an S-Class Fruit Position and retraced the Venerable Path.

Entering the second cycle of cultivation.

Some Spirit Masters might even opt for a third or fourth cycle of cultivation.

What surprised and delighted Xia Feng more was that Huang Zhaoyue actually possessed an S-Class Spiritual Artifact.

Unfortunately... it was broken and awaiting repair, and he didn't know if the broken artifact could be replicated.

As for the final Fruit Position, 4A·1N, does it mean four A-Level Fruit Positions and one N-Level?

This puzzled Xia Feng, what could an N-Level Fruit Position mean?

Unable to figure it out, Xia Feng shook his head and didn't dwell on it, checking his own seat information instead.

[Seat: 9]

[Name: Xia Feng]

[Realm: Venerable One]

[Spiritual Artifact: A-Level]

[Dao Fruit: 1A]

The seat's signal marked on the A-Level Absolute Rebirth, so the information displayed was A-Level, without detecting his other spiritual artifacts.

This was just perfect.

Content, Xia Feng nodded, looking around at the surrounding darkness. The issue now seemed to necessitate an early departure from the Evil River.

The Sumeru Throne opens in 40 days.

If he wants to resurrect without consuming the Evil Demon Heart, he needs to wait 90 days to return to the Present Realm.

The current situation clearly doesn't allow such waiting.

Fortunately, he had enough remaining heart progress,

consuming 1% of the repair progress can expedite the resurrection time by 45 days. 60 days require consuming 1.33%, 90 days would consume 2%.

He had 14.8178%, which was entirely sufficient.

Thinking it over, reducing it by 60 days, consuming 1.33% was an acceptable amount.

Having made up his mind, Xia Feng didn't hesitate any further, focusing his thoughts.

[Resurrection time remaining: 90 days]

[Consume 1.33333...]

[Resurrection time remaining: 30 days]

Thus, ten days are reserved to allow the reborn infant state to mature.

[Evil Demon Heart repair progress: 13.4845%]

Although the consumption wasn't much, Xia Feng still felt a bit distressed.

After all, just 14.8% of progress had cost him a year and a half's time, painstakingly earned, and now it dropped by over a point, further away from the 40% target.

[Fourth Demon Power·Master of Calamity Realm—required progress—40%]

Though he didn't know the detailed abilities, the name alone sounded extraordinary.

It truly made him covetous.

"Buzz—"

But at that moment, as if sensing something, Xia Feng abruptly looked up.

In the silent darkness, a streak of silver light with a shimmering tail appeared, speeding swiftly like a meteor across Xia Feng's head, shooting into the distant sky beyond—

"Is that... an Evil Spirit Pearl?"

Xia Feng's heart skipped a beat, surprised that an Evil Spirit Pearl existed within the Evil River?

But now wasn't the time for this, he stepped forward, hastily pursuing the long silver light.
