Those runes quickly converge in the palm of the woman in the phoenix skirt, vaguely forming an octagonal-shaped Gemini Star Map.
The Gemini stars share the same shape, both are red with fragments of gold divine color, their tails trailing radiance, like Yin Yang Fish chasing each other, rotating in the palm.
The only difference is one of the Gemini stars is much dimmer, shrouded in gray, seemingly needing to be supplemented with divine essence to complete its illumination.
The runes of the Star Devouring Array on the ground are still continuously ascending.
But right at this moment, the ink-black sky suddenly lights up with countless dense scarlet cracks, accompanied by a sound like 'crash crash', as if a glass curtain is about to shatter.
"Buzz—!!" As if millions of meteors broke through the atmosphere, countless fireballs descend from the heavens.
"Boom rumble rumble!!!" The realm shakes, ink gas surges.
However, those fireballs are not real meteors, but numerous fist-sized super-miniature stars constructed by ancient runes.
A million super-miniature stars fill the sky, linked by extremely red spiritual chains, forming a giant net that turns the whole Divine Hua Palace Realm into a hellish furnace...
On the ground, everyone looks up in shock, Lei Chonghua says in a low voice: "It's the Ash Domain Divine Punishment of Jinyang Divine Domain, someone is causing trouble."
The stellar giant net crashes down, forming a doomsday-like torrent of fiery red flows, filling every inch of this realm, even time seems to freeze under this apocalyptic oppression.
But unfortunately, just as this doomsday meteor rain is about to crash onto the ground of the Star Devouring Array, the woman in the phoenix skirt raises her delicate finger, stopping the million meteor rains in mid-air, instantly flattening them into a magnificent 'Meteor Rain Painting', flying into her hands.
The woman in the phoenix skirt raises her gaze towards the wheelchair boy in the distance,
with a voice line as clear and charming as Yue Hongli, but with a completely different tone, the authority hidden beneath a divine disdain and mocking cat-and-mouse play: "Human, do you have any more struggles, feel free to use them."
Xia Feng narrows his black eyes gently, just now he had utilized all the stored spiritual particles from the Spiritual Artifact·Spiritual Forbidden Coin to activate the Jinyang Divine Domain, but regrettably, in front of a near-divine presence, the Jinyang Divine Domain can easily be dispelled.
But it's no problem, after all, the play must go on; he must struggle a bit so that Hua God becomes more firmly convinced that he is out of tricks.
In order to finally fall into his... trap!
Chant—!
The runes of the Star Devouring Array on the ground completely merge into the palm of the woman in the phoenix skirt, the arcane aura of the Gemini Star Map sweeps through, forming waves of rune light that sweep across the Divine Hua Palace Realm, even breaking through the space's boundaries, permeating Sparrow God Mountain.
Seeing Xia Feng giving up the struggle, the woman in the phoenix skirt shakes her head slightly, seeming a bit uninterested, she no longer speaks, she hovers atop the Summoning Tree, raising her palm towards the Cloud Platform.
Yue Hongli's forehead suddenly shines bright with a dazzling star pattern, her soft hair flying, slowly rising, flying towards the woman in the phoenix skirt.
On the ground, everyone widens their eyes, eagerly witnessing this moment destined to be marked in history.
However, what surprised everyone somewhat was.
The mother in the red skirt floated to the edge of the blood-red cage formed by the Blood Erosion Cage but became imprisoned, unable to move.
It seems unable to leave this cage.
"What's going on?" On another Cloud Platform, Jin Xiangfeng frowned immediately, looking at Hezi, "The Blood Erosion Cage should only imprison Xia Feng, right? Why is even Mother's deputy palace isolated inside?"
Hezi's gaze was hollow, her brows knitted tightly, after a moment of silence, she spoke: "Xia Feng... has also established a conceptual relationship with Mother's deputy palace."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"The Blood Erosion Cage consists of two 'Cage Seals' and two 'Blood Erosion Seals', the Cage Seal is the imprisoner, the Blood Erosion Seal is the imprisoned, and the prerequisite for being marked is a blood relationship. So theoretically, it can imprison two linked presences in a relationship."
On the Cloud Platform, Xia Feng calmly leans back on the wheelchair, gazing up at the woman in the phoenix skirt.
Previously, upon understanding the function of the Blood Erosion Cage, he used the optimized Blood Storage Heaven Inheritance on Yue Hongli.
This allowed him and Yue Hongli to establish a conceptual father-daughter relationship; um... although somewhat odd, Blood Storage Heaven Inheritance can only establish this relationship.
But regardless, upon establishing the relationship instantly, Yue Hongli was automatically marked with the Blood Erosion Seal, restricted by the Cage Seal, unable to leave the Blood Erosion Cage.
If Hua God wants to continue the Star Devouring Ceremony, she can only come inside, directly facing Xia Feng!
The woman in the phoenix skirt hovered above the Holy Tree, the next moment, her figure appeared like a phantom outside the Blood Erosion Cage, aiming the Gemini Star Map in her palm at the red skirt.
Still no response.
Seeing this, the woman in the phoenix skirt maintained no change in her expression, remaining extremely calm.
She could indeed let Ke Yanqing and Kikyo Ayame leave the Blood Erosion Cage, since the Blood Erosion Cage would naturally dissipate due to the disappearance of the Cage Seal.
But the problem it would bring is the opportunity for Xia Feng to escape, through means such as faking death.
The current investigation revealed Xia Feng possesses a very powerful resurrection ability, though unclear about its specific source, range, and limitations.
The mysterious woman who claimed to be the 'Moon Princess' only told her—Abyss Saint Xia Feng can help her remove the Heavenly Gifted Poison, but she further refused to elaborate.
But she was used to it; since joining the second Gate Pillar as a disciple to the demise of the second Gate Pillar, Moon Princess has always been mysteriously elusive; regardless of her, or Huang Ye and several Pillar Countries, they all pursued Moon Princess to no avail.
But ultimately it doesn't matter, through the 'Heavenly Fate Signature', her luck this time is optimal.
Even if definitely knowing Moon Princess has other schemes, it doesn't matter.
And now, to prevent the human Xia from escaping by any suicidal means, she must keep him trapped in the Blood Erosion Cage.
The Blood Erosion Cage must remain.
Indeed, Xia Feng's tactic here better suits her intentions.
"It seems this is your second struggle tactic, human."
Her lazy eyes glance coldly, looking down as if watching a grasshopper twitching before death, though she wants to kill it, there's no rush; after all these years, finally there's something interesting to play with, to enjoy its dying struggle is quite pleasing.
Inside the cage, the woman in the red skirt, with her upper face covered by Holy Light, her red lips parted, spoke with a charming yet calm voice, correcting: "Hua, you should call him Master."
Hua God: "....."
Forget it, no longer appreciating, better quickly proceed with the Star Position Devour.
But before that, she must wait for the 'Dubhe Five' within her to stabilize, ensuring greater safety before entering the cage.
Probably still needs two more minutes.
The woman in the phoenix skirt glanced at her deputy persona: "You should call me Big Sister."
Although they are different personas of the same entity, back when they were one, their relationship was remarkably friendly, addressing each other as sisters.
Yue Hongli nodded, continuing to kindly correct: "Big Sister, you should call Xia Feng Master."
"....."
"Serving an ignorant ant, my dear sister, truly laughable...."
The woman in the phoenix skirt's Divine Sound was helpless, murmuring as though in self-mockery.
With Yue Hongli sharing the Blood Erosion Seal, Xia Feng could move, he slowly stood up, quietly came behind Yue Hongli, placing his right hand on her shoulder.
The woman in the phoenix skirt sensed Xia Feng's movement, simultaneously feeling a man's large hand seemingly landing on her shoulder, her rose-colored pupils flickered with displeasure and murderous intent.
Black eyes and rose colored eyes gathered in mid-air, Xia Feng's black eyes calm, his right hand lowered yet then slipped up Yue Hongli's slender waist, her abdomen, skimming upwards to reach the cloud-covered heights——
"Presumptuous!!!" From the earth below arose a thunderous outcry of anger from the crowd.
