"Die!! Let’s take each other down with us!"

A vicious glint flashed in the Ghost Demon’s eyes as he slammed a backhanded claw strike into the abdomen of Shu Feng’s Ancient Demon form.

CLANG!

Countless sparks flew. The Ghost Demon’s full-power strike barely pierced the black Scale Armor on Shu Feng’s abdomen, tearing open several wounds.

However, Shu Feng’s Constitution was terrifyingly powerful, and his Recovery Power was frighteningly high. The shallow wounds had barely appeared before they began to rapidly heal, vanishing completely within a single breath.

The Ghost Demon struggled wildly, his face a mask of disbelief. "How is this possible? My claws are clearly coated with Cyan Ghost Poison! How can your wounds recover so quickly?"

The Green Ghost Demon Clan was an extremely powerful race within the Void Demon Realm. Their Cyan Ghost Poison was even more terrifying. Once scratched by a Green Ghost’s claw, the wound would be incredibly painful and difficult to deal with, even for someone possessing a Super Recovery ability.

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "It’s simple. You’re just too weak."

"No! Stop, Lord Poison Emperor, don’t kill me! I can be your dog! Please, don’t kill me! I can be your servant, I can be your dog! I’m begging you, don’t kill me! I don’t want to die!!"

The Ghost Demon’s body shriveled, inch by inch. Fear flashed in his eyes as he screamed in terror.

After transforming into a Void Demon Duke, the Ghost Demon’s lifespan had increased to ten thousand years. His aged appearance was merely a disguise. He still had ten thousand years of wealth and glory to enjoy; of course he didn’t want to die.

Shu Feng’s gaze was ice-cold as he said, "You’re useless to me. Turn to ash!"

"No!!"

Amidst a flurry of blood-curdling screams, the Ghost Demon’s body turned into a dried-up husk and collapsed to the ground.

"Source Energy +10,000, Holy Soul +4, Profound Qi +500,000,000!"

A trace of disappointment flashed through Shu Feng’s eyes. ’This guy’s strength was decent. Unfortunately, the Power of Void Demon in his body isn’t enough for my Supreme Demon Body to advance to the Fifth Layer!’

After transforming into a Void Demon Duke, the Ghost Demon possessed terrifying strength that ranked among the top five in the world. Even the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor might not have been his match. Yet, even after Shu Feng devoured all of his Power of Void Demon, it was still far from enough to advance his Supreme Demon Body to the Fifth Layer.

"Let’s go."

At Shu Feng’s command, Nangong Yuan immediately began digging into the sand ahead, quickly revealing a massive cavern.

Faint wisps of seven-colored light emanated from the cavern.

’This is the aura of the World Origin!’

Shu Feng stared at the cavern, a fervent glint in his eyes. Suppressing his excitement, he commanded the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master beside him, "Go down and scout ahead."

’A servant at the Martial Saint Level, like the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, was meant to be used in situations just like this.’

This place had just been the site of a battle between two terrifying experts at or above the Divine Spirit level. The fight between such titans had altered the terrain of the Flame Desert, transforming it into a massive canyon riddled with countless fissures.

Even a wisp of residual power left behind by those terrifying beings of the Divine Spirit level and above could easily kill a Martial Saint Level expert.

"Yes, Master!"

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master acknowledged the order. With a flicker of his body, he entered the cavern.

"Let’s go."

Shu Feng’s figure flickered as he followed the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master into the cavern’s depths.

Within the cavern was an incredibly spacious passage. The walls were lined with countless crystals, each one engraved with innumerable profound and mysterious Curse Seals.

The air inside the cavern was crisp and clear, yet it contained a profound and mysterious power. With every breath, Shu Feng could distinctly feel his cultivation strengthen by a fraction.

’How magnificent! So this is the cave mansion of a terrifying expert above the Divine Spirit level!’

Upon reaching the end of the cavern, Shu Feng saw it: a Crystal Cave Mansion a thousand li high, so vast its edges seemed to disappear into the distance. It was carved entirely from crystal and engraved with countless Profound Mysterious Curse Seals.

An incomparably terrifying pressure emanated from the Crystal Cave Mansion. Even an expert of Shu Feng’s caliber felt his breath catch under its immense weight.

The surface of the Crystal Cave Mansion was covered in horrifying cracks, evidence of a devastating battle.

Demonic Qi billowed from Shu Feng’s right hand, transforming it into a Demon Claw covered in black scales and razor-sharp talons. He reached out and touched one of the crystals on the wall of the Crystal Cave Mansion.

An ear-piercing screech echoed as a mysterious power instantly corroded and dissolved Shu Feng’s right Demon Claw.

Yet the crystal on the wall of the Crystal Cave Mansion remained completely unscathed.

’What terrifying Defense Power.’

A grave expression crossed Shu Feng’s face. He carefully examined the majestic Crystal Cave Mansion, searching for the source of the leaking World Origin.

’Found it!’

On one of the walls of the Crystal Cave Mansion was a massive, terrifying hole. Waves of seven-colored light poured out from it. Following his senses, which were attuned to the World Origin, Shu Feng quickly located the gaping hole.

"Excellent! Nangong Yuan, from now on, you are my disciple! I have thirty sets of Sect’s Martial Arts here, and every one of them can lead you directly to the Martial Saint Realm. I also have the Supreme Demon Body, a technique I created by combining countless Demon Secret Techniques. In theory, if you cultivate this Supreme Demon Body to its peak, you can achieve divinity with your physical body."

"However, to master this Supreme Demon Body, you need not only a massive amount of resources and outstanding comprehension, but also to cultivate one of the Demonic Martial Arts to the Martial Saint Realm."

"Choose whichever one of these Martial Arts you like!"

A look of immense joy flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he gazed at the streams of seven-colored light. He tossed a scroll of Demon Hide, which cataloged countless Martial Arts, to Nangong Yuan.

"Thank you, Master!"

Nangong Yuan was overjoyed. He accepted the scroll and began reading it carefully, searching for a Martial Art that suited him.

Shu Feng walked up to the large hole radiating seven-colored light, activated his Supreme Demon Body, and transformed into a five-meter-tall Ancient Demon. Opening his mouth, he took a deep breath, and the streams of seven-colored light—formed from the Power of World Origin—were instantly sucked into his mouth.

Shu Feng frantically circulated the Supreme Demon Body, madly absorbing the Power of World Origin. His immense Demon Body began to swell, and one by one, mysterious and cryptic Demon Patterns started to appear all over his skin.

A quarter of an hour later, Shu Feng’s body had swollen to a height of six meters. Blade-like Bone Spikes sprouted from all his joints, and the tail behind him grew incredibly thick, covered in Bone Spikes and sharp ridges, radiating a terrifying and savage aura.

’I’ve reached my limit! If my soul can’t be elevated further, I won’t be able to continue cultivating my Supreme Demon Body.’

Once he evolved to a height of six meters, Shu Feng could faintly sense that his physical body had reached the limit of what his soul could bear. Further transformation would be exceedingly difficult.
