I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 61 - 50. Urban Doomsday
Xia Feng didn’t dare to imagine, but he dared to snatch!
So many Infinite Stones, not grabbing them would be foolish!
Retreating his steps to gather energy, he performed Stepping on Air to ascend rapidly, flying on the air.
As he reached the high skies, he vaguely saw a profound, slit-like break tearing open in the distant, hazy horizon, and at this moment, a cloud-like Evil Beast that obscured the sky was desperately wriggling out.
Xia Feng recognized this Evil Beast, its offensive power almost nil, hardly any intelligence, and very slow-moving, but it could float and fly like a cloud. Its belly contained a very large space, hence it was called Sky Evil.
Ding—
A faint clink of metal on stone, Xia Feng’s ears twitched, he turned his head back to see two small black and gold pebbles collide in mid-air and then bounce off each other.
Xia Feng hurriedly flew to catch them, weighing them in his hand.
"Two grams, not bad," Xia Feng said, satisfied, stashing them away.
The Infinite Realm belonged to the Empire’s assets, and the Infinite Stones that fell from the Infinite Realm naturally belonged to the Empire as well.
So, as a citizen of the Empire, he had a duty to help the Empire reclaim these Infinite Stones! He couldn’t let such precious assets fall into enemy hands!
Mmm, very cunning!
As for whether to submit them in the end? He actually did want to submit them, but the Empire would reward him with these Infinite Stones for protecting the Empire’s assets, so to not waste the Empire’s human resources—he might as well not submit them!
Mmm, very cunning!
I’m truly considering the Empire—Xia Feng smiled confidently, his eyes brimming with excitement as he looked around.
"Charge, charge, charge!"
He began to dash wildly through the Evil Power Cloud Sea, frantically searching for the small black-gold stones.
But after a full ten minutes of charging, holding 4g of Infinite Stones in his hand, he fell into deep thought.
"This aimless search is too inefficient, I need to come up with a method."
Xia Feng stroked his chin, looking at the surrounding Evil Power mist, his eyes shimmering.
To be honest, the concentration of these Evil Power mists was very low, compared to the terrifying Evil Power Cloud Sea on the outer edges of the Evil Dragon Space, it was sky-high and earth-low.
It was even a bit lower than the concentration in the Light Evil Zone of the Evil Dragon Forest.
Xia Feng pondered, "So... since the Infinite Stones are hidden in the Evil Power Cloud Sea, wouldn’t I be able to find them by sucking away all this Evil Power?"
Before, he didn’t understand how to control Spiritual Pressure for rapid absorption of Evil Power, but times have changed, he had figured out how to swallow Evil Power super efficiently.
As he thought, he tentatively took a light breath and the mist flowed backward, creating a vacuum in a hundred-meter radius in an instant.

0.5g of Infinite Stone fell.
There really are some! Xia Feng’s eyes brightened, looking around at the glorious Evil Sea that surrounded him like mountains and seas.
"Excellent, let’s charge!"
*
Thunder roared and lightning flashed, as a torrential downpour deluged the earth.
Over a hundred Holy Department Investigators wearing white robes and raincoats stood scattered atop the densely packed rooftops of low buildings.
Their raincoats fluttered in the wind, and they held the knives at their waists, their eyes grave as they stared into the distance.
Another Sky Evil, spanning a kilometer, emerged from the crack, and crackle-crack—they faintly heard the sound of the Infinite Realm further breaking apart.
"Director, Prince is here," Li Sheng said quietly to the old man sitting in a wheelchair.
"Mm," the old man responded softly, showing no reaction.
His legs were covered with a layer of fox velvet knee blanket, and though in the midst of heavy rain, not a hint of dampness could be seen on him as he looked up silently into the distance.
After a short while, someone stepped through the puddles to his side and also looked up, "Well, Lord Xuanwu, can we handle these guys?"
The newcomer was wearing a finely tailored dark red tailcoat, his face bore a few wrinkles, making him appear to be in his forties, but his countenance was always tinged with a faint smile and his deep indifferent gaze carried an air of authority and composure from on high.
This man was none other than the Purple Sunflower Duke.
The old man known as Xuanwu did not turn around, and without expression, he said, "The Divine Evil Association is of little concern; the problem is the ’Bone-faced Calamity’ behind them."
"Without a Venerable, even if we have more Superior Rank powerhouses, we are no match for a ’Calamity’."
Hearing this, the Duke tilted his head in confusion, "Haven’t the disciples arrived yet?"
Li Sheng, who was nearby, stepped forward respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Prince, the eighth disciple nearest to Zone 51 reported that they were stopped on the road by a mysterious person, while the somewhat farther seventh disciple is still not back from the Gray Realm."
The Duke’s eyes narrowed slightly as he fell silent.
For this situation, Xuanwu was not surprised at all, instead, the corners of his lips faintly curled up with a mocking smile, "I guess no one would have thought, in such a peaceful era, that Junlin City, being the central city of Zone 51, could be so easily broken through and occupied."
The Divine Evil Association could not possibly fully consume the whole of Zone 51, but taking over a city was not difficult.
The population and resources of a central city in a large district would be enough for the Divine Evil Association to revel in for several years.
In fact, such events have not been uncommon in the history of the Empire, with most of the Infinite Realms that have been breached beginning to crumble from within.
But such a large breach appearing within a few hours was something Xuanwu was seeing for the first time.
This could only mean one thing, that the amount of Infinite Stone initially mined had reached an astonishing level, causing the Infinite Realm to be so unstable.
"Isn’t there any other way?" asked the Duke in a low voice.
"Any other way?"
Director Xuanwu’s aged face and deep gaze looked off into the distance at the ever-expanding Evil Power Cloud Sea, "The Divine Evil Association came prepared, as long as they have this enormous Evil Power Sea paving the way, we have no other recourse, it’s a dead end."
"That’s enough, let’s all withdraw. Once the disciples arrive, we’ll think of a way to take back Junlin City." The old man tapped his cane, looking at Li Sheng and frowning, "Where are Freya and Chen Hangdao?"
Li Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "They seem to have students still deep within Blood Evil Street, they’ve gone to rescue them."
"Boom—!"
Just then, the clouds churned, thunder shook the world, and everyone looked up.
Dozens of Sky Evils stretching across miles blanketed the heavens, completely overtaking the sky dome on the north side of the city, while purple lightning and red thunder streaked across the heavens and earth, and the thick Evil Power Cloud Sea began condensing into rain.

"Beep beep—beep!"
On the bridge near Blood Evil Street, a long line of cars formed, horns blaring frantically.
Initially, people wanted to drive away, but when they saw the Evil Power rain cloud approach from behind, the first scream of the night set off a chain reaction of panic.
Everyone abandoned their vehicles and fled, the tops and gaps of cars were filled with people, and some even jumped into the river, eyes red with urgency, to escape.
The screams mingled with explosions, creating a chaotic atmosphere; people were overwhelmed by despair and fear.
Rip—
Right then, a bolt of purple lightning lit up the night sky, bringing a momentary light.
But it was this light that revealed a gigantic cloud-shaped creature slowly emerging from the mist, its enormous body like a primeval beast opening its bloody maw, descending upon the city below, mercilessly swallowing swathes of tall buildings, spreading rapidly.
Amidst thunder and lightning, the entire city completely succumbed to these terrifying Evil Beasts.
