Divine-level Base

Shu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up as he strode forward to a large crater. Inside, he saw a terrifying powerhouse clad in tattered black armor. It had a Ghost Horn on its head, was covered in black scales, and radiated an aura that far surpassed a Void Demon Duke’s.

Droplets of ink-black blood slowly trickled from the Void Demon King’s corpse, corrupting the surrounding area into Demon Soil.

Shu Feng collected the Void Demon King’s corpse and tossed it into the Resource Dissolving Pool.

SSS!

The Void Demon King’s corpse rapidly dissolved in the Resource Dissolving Pool, transforming into countless priceless resources.

"Power Divinity +10, Agile Divinity +7, Defense Divinity +8, Constitution Divinity +10, Spirit Divinity +3, Intelligence Divinity +1, Evil God Divinity +5."

"Source Energy +10,000,000, Divine-level Void Demon Power +100 units, Divine Soul +0.05 units, Divine Blood +50 units, Divine Marrow +100 units, Divine Flesh and Blood Tissue +300 units."

A look of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. "No Divine Format!! It seems this Void Demon King’s Divine Format was destroyed by that powerhouse."

The Divine Format was the distinction between a Demigod and a mortal, as well as the difference between a Divine-level Powerhouse and a Demigod. A Demigod’s Demigod Format allowed them to reach the Realm of Subtlety and completely master every ounce of power within their body. A Divine-level Powerhouse could not only reach the Realm of Subtlety but could also use the power of their Divine Format, leveraging Divine Power to manipulate the natural forces of the world to attack their enemies.

"Is there anything else?"

Shu Feng dispatched various summoned creatures to search the surroundings frantically, but only found some soil containing Divine Blood.

Shu Feng could only continue forward with some regret.

Along the way, Shu Feng discovered countless rare flowers and exotic herbs, as well as various Profound Level and Earth Level Treasures of Heaven and Earth. These treasures were as common as wildflowers and weeds, and he had his elite army of the Blood Demon Clan harvest them all.

「One day later.」

In the center of this world, an exquisite and luxurious Crystal Palace spanning a thousand miles appeared before Shu Feng.

Spiritual Eagles flying in the sky suddenly exploded without warning, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that rained down from above.

’A No-fly Zone? What a terrifying domain!’

Shu Feng watched the Spiritual Eagles explode in the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly. With a wave of his hand, dozens of Blood Demon Clan Warriors flew toward the Crystal Palace.

The moment the dozens of Blood Demon Clan Warriors got within a thousand meters of the Crystal Palace, their bodies immediately exploded one by one.

Shu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so Dragon Hunting Dogs charged toward the Crystal Palace.

The dozen or so Dragon Hunting Dogs sprinted all the way. When they came within a thousand meters of the Crystal Palace, cracks appeared all over their bodies. They only exploded upon reaching the main gate of the Crystal Palace.

Shu Feng glanced at the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master and said flatly, "You go. If you can’t handle it, you can retreat."

To Shu Feng, a Martial Saint like the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master was just cannon fodder for scouting the path. It would be no great loss if he died.

"Yes, Master!"

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master gave a bitter smile, and with a flicker of his body, he flew toward the Crystal Palace. When he entered the thousand-meter range of the palace, he transformed into his Void Demon Duke form and moved cautiously toward it.

Just as the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master reached the entrance of the Crystal Palace’s main gate, his body suddenly trembled, and his left arm snapped off, splattering blood everywhere.

’I see!!’

Shu Feng’s eyes were fixed on the entrance of the crystal gate. Only then did he spot a palm-sized crystal mantis at the entrance of the Crystal Palace. It was this crystal mantis that had severed the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master’s left arm.

"Master, save me!!"

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master shrieked in terror. With his remaining right arm, he formed a Profound Turtle Demon King Seal. A phantom of the Profound Turtle Demon King appeared and opened a powerful Defense Barrier in front of him.

The crystal mantis slashed out directly. A colorless and formless blade flash, as fast as lightning, cut through the Profound Turtle Demon King’s phantom as if it were butter. It continued on to strike the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, slicing off his right arm as well.

"He is my servant, after all. Not someone you can hunt as you please."

Shu Feng used the Prison Void Demon Step, appearing before the crystal mantis as if teleporting. He opened his hand and grabbed the creature directly.

The crystal mantis retaliated with two terrifying blade flashes, slashing toward Shu Feng.

Shu Feng’s body blurred as he easily dodged the crystal mantis’s counterattack. With a flick of his finger, a Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura shot out like a Flood Dragon and slammed into the crystal mantis, blasting it to smithereens that scattered across the ground.

’Good thing there was only one crystal mantis left! If the Crystal Palace were at its peak, even a Divine Spirit who got close would be killed.’

Shu Feng looked toward the Crystal Palace and saw that the area around it was littered with the countless corpses of crystal mantises.

Those crystal mantises were born with the ability to turn invisible, and their blade flashes were terrifying enough to injure a Divine Spirit. They were the first line of defense within this Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, their enemy had been a terrifying existence above the Divine Spirit level, and the aftershock of the battle had killed ninety percent of them.

"Go open that gate for me!"

After recalling the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master to the Warrior Synthesis Nest for repairs, Shu Feng waved his hand. A Divine Crystal Gu Insect flew out and pounced onto the Crystal Palace’s great crystal gate.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

Once the Divine Crystal Gu Insect began to devour the crystal gate, Shu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He released the other four Divine Crystal Gu Insects and had them gnaw on the gate as well.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

When the five Divine Crystal Gu Insects had devoured most of the great crystal gate, terrifying cracks suddenly appeared in the azure sky.

Countless crystal shards fell from the sky.

BOOM!

The Crystal Palace itself also cracked open, and the wards enveloping it shattered one by one.

An incredibly terrifying aura of the World Origin gushed out from the Crystal Palace, shooting straight into the sky.

A Divine Tree, entirely golden down to its very leaves, suddenly appeared before Shu Feng. On this Golden Divine Tree grew nine Golden Fruits, each one inscribed with faint, mysterious Divine Patterns.

’If I eat one of those fruits, I can break through my life’s limits and continue to evolve!!’

Shu Feng gazed at the nine Golden Fruits, a look of intense desire in his eyes. He instinctively felt that the Golden Fruits contained the power that would allow him to continue evolving.
