Chapter 529: Arrival at the Night God Palace
Zhu Yan said with some reluctance, "This is the Semi-Divine Artifact, the [Wind Blade]. This vial of blood is Divine Blood from the God of Darkness, obtained when my ancestors took part in the siege against him back in the day. You can choose one of these two treasures."
The Divine Blood of the God of Darkness was an incredible treasure, but no one on Blue Star could use it to evolve. The Semi-Divine Artifact, the [Wind Blade], was a Secret Treasure that could bolster a clan’s foundations.
If a Spirit Venerable Level expert activated the [Wind Blade] at the cost of their life, its power could even slay a Spirit Saint.
However, Semi-Divine Artifacts were also divided into different tiers. The [Purification Spear] was a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact, while the [Wind Blade] was in the weakest category of them.
"I’ll take these two, then!!"
Shu Feng smiled faintly and grabbed a golden stone and a stone sphere engraved with countless profound runes.
Zhu Yan asked, a little curious, "What treasures are these two?"
"Treasures that are useful to me."
Shu Feng smiled faintly and didn’t explain further, but a fervent glint flashed in his eyes.
The golden stone actually contained a small World Stone inside it. As for the stone sphere engraved with countless profound runes, it held an incredibly terrifying amount of Source Energy.
Zhu Yan said, "So, do you still want these other two treasures?"
Shu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Leave them here. Just consider it a favor owed to me by the Zhu Clan."
Zhu Yan said, "Alright!"
Before long, news began to spread rapidly across the internet.
Taiheng Mountain had been conquered by Shu Feng, one of the Holy Palace’s six saints, and became Shu Clan territory. Yellow Spirit Mountain was taken by the Four Extremes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao, becoming the Wu Clan’s territory. Bitaoshan Mountain was now the headquarters of the Night God Palace. Taolin Mountain had been destroyed in a great battle. Dragon Crane Mountain had been captured by the Qidemon Cult and its Holy Tree destroyed. Hengqi Mountain was conquered by Ji Yuanshi and became the territory of the Primordial Daoist Cult. As for Celestial Eye Mountain, its Holy Tree was destroyed during the clash between saints.
In the entire Qianyuan Republic, a total of seven great Spirit Mountains had revived and given birth to seven Holy Trees, causing countless experts to fight over them.
Spirit Saints who were thought to be long dead in legends appeared one after another, fighting and slaughtering each other madly for the Sacred Fruits, resulting in heavy casualties.
Similarly, all around the Blue Star Realm, Spirit Mountains were reviving and Holy Trees were being born.
Many lucky people like Zhang Qing ate various Spirit Fruits and ascended to the heavens in a single step, awakening as Spiritualists.
Following the Qidemon Sect Leader’s live broadcast, the existence of the Void Demons could no longer be hidden. Panic spread throughout the entire Qianyuan Republic, various doomsday cults emerged, and social order began to deteriorate.
However, the government of the Qianyuan Republic had long been prepared. The Spiritualists of the Guardian Flame finally made their official appearance before the public, beginning to suppress the various cults and criminal Spiritualists.
The Qianyuan Republic government also launched a propaganda campaign through various channels and carried out a severe crackdown, preventing the social order from deteriorating further.
「On the summit of Taolin Mountain.」
’Just as I thought, continuing to consume the same type of Sacred Fruit doesn’t have much of an effect anymore!’
Shu Feng opened his eyes, which shone with a brilliant light. With a thought, lines of data appeared directly before him.
"Shu Feng."
"Power: 8600 (+400), Agility: 8400 (+400), Defense: 8300 (+400), Constitution: 8400 (+400), Intelligence: 8200, Spirit: 9700 (+400), Magic Power: 12 Billion (+4 Billion), Profound Qi: 20 Billion, Badge Power: 1,320,000."
"Charm: 5400 (+100), Spiritual Power: 12 Billion (+4 Billion), Holy Soul: 250 units."
In the past few days, Shu Feng had completely absorbed the Spiritual Power from Celestial Eye Mountain and Dragon Crane Mountain. He ate a total of twenty White Jade Sacred Fruits, increasing his physical attributes by another 400 points.
However, this was already the limit. After all, Shu Feng’s physical attributes were already monstrously high. The fact that the fruits had enhanced them by five hundred points was already incredible.
’Night God Palace!’
A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He rose to his feet, his figure flickered slightly, and he vanished from his spot.
「On the summit of Bitaoshan Mountain.」
A Spirit Saint Level Black Flood Dragon, riding on roiling black clouds, flew directly over, emitting an incomparably terrifying Spiritual Pressure.
"A Black Flood Dragon!! It’s the Holy Palace’s sixth saint, Shu Feng!!"
"Shu Feng is here!!"
"..."
At the summit of Bitaoshan Mountain, the expressions of the Night God Palace’s experts changed drastically the moment they saw the Flood Dragon, and they raised a series of alarms.
’I’m missing a henchman like the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master. My entourage just isn’t impressive enough. I’ll have to grab a few Spirit Saints.’ A look of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes.
’That Spirit Saint Level Skill Master who wields the [Demon Dragon Shield] is a bit too wooden. He’s completely incapable of playing the role of a sycophant, which requires high emotional intelligence.’
From within the Night God Palace, three experts walked out, each exuding traces of a Spirit Saint’s might.
The three Spirit Saints were the Night God Palace Master, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder.
The leader, a middle-aged man in black with short hair, a burly build, and heroic features, looked at Shu Feng and said slowly, "I, the Night God Palace Master, greet you, Spirit Saint Shu Feng. May I ask what business brings you to our humble abode?"
"Bitaoshan Mountain is the territory of my Yuanhai Shu Clan. Here’s my property deed! How dare you build illegal structures on my territory? What audacity! Get off Bitaoshan Mountain immediately."
Shu Feng took out a property deed, flicked his finger, and sent it flying in front of the Night God Palace Master as he righteously berated them.
The three Spirit Saints of the Night God Palace were suddenly speechless. As one of the Holy Palace’s six saints, Shu Feng held great power within the government. That property deed was absolutely, unequivocally real.
The Night God Palace Master said flatly, "Spirit Saint Shu Feng, let’s not beat around the bush. Bitaoshan Mountain is the Spirit Mountain my Night God Palace conquered, and it is also our future headquarters. I cannot possibly hand it over. Name your price. How much money will it take for you to give Bitaoshan Mountain to us?"
Shu Feng said, "I’ve taken a liking to Bitaoshan Mountain as well! It’s not impossible for you to stay here. As long as you are willing to submit to me and become my subordinates, I can let you remain."
A sharp glint flashed in the Night God Palace Master’s eyes as he said coldly, "Impossible! The Night God Palace will never submit to anyone!"
"In that case, you can all go die!"
With a flip of his hand, the Semi-Divine Artifact [Wind Sword] appeared, and he immediately slashed down.
An incomparably terrifying Wind Blade, like a bolt of lightning, slashed into an empty space.
"No!!"
The Third Elder of the Night God Palace—a voluptuous and sexy woman in black with a beautiful face—suddenly appeared, her face full of terror. A pitch-black Spiritual Membrane appeared over her body.
The terrifying Wind Blade easily sliced through the pitch-black Spiritual Membrane and instantly struck the Third Elder’s body, dicing her into pieces.
"Ningning! Shu Feng, you bastard, you deserve to die!!"
A vicious glint flashed in the Night God Palace Grand Elder’s eyes. With a furious roar, he brandished the Semi-Divine Artifact [Black Demon Claw] and lunged at Shu Feng with a swipe of the claw.
