Chapter 500: The Arrival of the Void Demon Battlefield
Blue Star was home to all sorts of Void Demons. This was because, in addition to the powerhouses of their own races, the seven great Void Demon Kings also commanded many vassal races and various slaves.
The Void Demon Realm was a terrifying place; weaker races would generally attach themselves to a race protected by a Divine-level Powerhouse. Otherwise, without that protection, they were just lambs to the slaughter.
"Begin!"
King You said coldly, his entire body shrouded in a distorted Void Demon barrier.
The seven great Void Demon Kings all nodded slightly, taking their positions at seven points around the massive altar.
The immense altar flared with light, and countless mysterious and unfathomable Curse Seals emerged upon its surface one by one.
An incomparably terrifying Demon King’s Power erupted from the seven Void Demon Kings, surging madly into the altar.
Below the altar, the Warriors of the Void Demon Race raised their weapons and slaughtered countless slaves.
Ten million slaves were executed, their blood flowing like a river as it poured continuously into the enormous altar.
The altar began to frantically draw in a terrifying amount of Power of Void Demon, channeling it into a mysterious and faintly visible passageway.
In the Void Demon Battlefield near Blue Star, the Void Demon Celestial Pillar at the heart of the Void Demon forces suddenly burst with an incomparably brilliant light and began to plummet directly toward Blue Star.
In the capital of the Saidu Republic, a nation neighboring the Blue Star Qianyuan Republic, space suddenly distorted and a vast continent abruptly appeared.
That vast Void Demon Battlefield had materialized on Blue Star, splitting the entire Saidu Republic in two.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
Terrifying tremors shook all of Blue Star. Earthquakes struck one after another, and horrifying tsunamis swept out in all directions.
A terrifying wave of Void Demonic Qi gushed endlessly from the Void Demon Celestial Pillar, pouring into Blue Star.
"The Void Demon Battlefield has descended!!"
"My Power is increasing!!"
"Our Void Demon Clan is not far from controlling this world, Blue Star!!"
"The Void Demon Battlefield has arrived. My choice was not wrong!"
"..."
As the Void Demon Battlefield descended upon Blue Star, a ceaseless stream of Void Demonic Qi flooded the planet. The hidden powerhouses of the Void Demon Race and the converted Demons scattered across Blue Star all felt their strength continuously rising, and a fervent glint flashed in their eyes.
At that moment, from cracks that appeared all over Blue Star, countless streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power gushed out, causing the planet’s Spiritual Power concentration to skyrocket.
"The Spiritual Power has increased!!"
"Just as expected, Blue Star’s Spiritual Power has increased!!"
"At this rate, Blue Star will be able to produce even more Spirit Saints!!"
"..."
The Spirit Saints of the Human Race on Blue Star also keenly sensed the change in the world. The Spiritual Power Particles pervading the air were now several times denser than before. This meant the Blue Star Human Clan could produce more Spiritualists and discover more Spirit Stone Mines.
The descent of the Void Demon Battlefield onto Blue Star triggered a change in the world. The thousand-meter-tall Holy Gate trembled slightly, and a terrifying pillar of light surged madly into Shu Feng’s body.
’What’s happening?’
As the terrifying pillar of light poured into his body, Shu Feng felt traces of World Origin infusing him, frantically strengthening his body and soul and initiating an even more terrifying evolution.
However, the power was so immense that it caused even Shu Feng’s soul to ache with Pain.
’No matter what!! I must complete this evolution!!’
Shu Feng grit his teeth against the agony and frantically activated the Sun and Moon Scripture. A Great Sun and a Spirit Moon appeared behind him, refining the mysterious and unfathomable power.
’Steel Beast, Su Mi, I’m entrusting my safety to you two.’
Before closing his eyes, Shu Feng summoned the Steel Beast and Su Mi.
The power that had suddenly poured into him was simply too terrifying, and by forcefully refining it, he was very likely to fall into a coma.
Under these circumstances, Shu Feng needed Guardians. Otherwise, any Spirit Venerable could have easily killed him.
Moreover, Shu Feng was currently absorbing the terrifying power transmitted from the Holy Gate and could not retreat into the Base Space. If he did, this opportunity to connect with the World Origin—gained during his advancement to Spirit Saint—would vanish, and he would have squandered a great stroke of fortune.
「In the Tuisheng Pool garrison encampment.」
"It’s finally begun!!"
The commander of the Tuisheng Pool garrison, Gongyang Dao, gazed at the unstable Holy Gate in the void. With his hands clasped behind his back and an icy look in his eyes, he said nonchalantly, "Relay my order. Assemble immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
An officer quickly responded.
The twenty thousand elite troops stationed by the Tuisheng Pool quickly assembled in a plaza.
Standing on a high platform, Gongyang Dao looked down upon the twenty thousand Qianyuan Republic elites below. With a cold smile, he took out a black Demon Flower and tossed it into the air.
The black Demon Flower expanded in the air, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-tall black Demon Flower wreathed in layers of terrifying Power of Void Demon.
Rings of strange, black ripples spread out from the black Demon Flower, enveloping the twenty thousand elites of the Qianyuan Republic.
"No!!"
"So much Pain!!"
"Save me!!"
"..."
The faces of the twenty thousand elite Warriors of the Qianyuan Republic suddenly twisted in agony. They collapsed to the ground, letting out blood-curdling wails and screams as black qi emerged from their bodies and all sorts of bizarre organs began to sprout from their flesh.
"Gongyang Dao, you traitor!! How dare you attack your own brothers-in-arms! I’ll kill you!!"
An officer, his face contorted with Pain, let out a furious roar, drew a Spiritual Spear, and pointed it at Gongyang Dao.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The two hundred Personal Guards beside Gongyang Dao opened fire, and beams of light slammed into the officers who had not yet mutated, gunning them down.
Those unmutated officers were all powerhouses at the Spirit Sect level or higher, but under the influence of the bizarre black Demon Flower, their bodies trembled uncontrollably. In the end, they were gunned down one by one by Gongyang Dao’s two hundred Personal Guards.
’This Blood-Colored Evil Bug Flower really is useful. Just mix its pollen into their food and drink, add some Power of Void Demon, and you can induce mutation. A pity we still haven’t seized complete military and political control of the Qianyuan Republic. Otherwise, they would be utterly defenseless!’
Gongyang Dao watched as the twenty thousand elite Spiritual Spear Masters metamorphosed into bizarrely shaped monsters, a flash of regret in his eyes.
Annihilating the twenty thousand elites guarding the Tuisheng Pool at once was only possible because Gongyang Dao was the unit’s commander. Otherwise, turning those elites of the Qianyuan Republic into monsters would not have been nearly so simple.
