Divine-level Base

In the Void Demon Realm, it was also incredibly difficult for Void Demons to evolve into a Void Demon King.

Aside from a few Void Demons from major factions who possessed heaven-defying bloodlines and countless precious resources, allowing them to evolve directly into Void Demon Kings through secluded cultivation, the vast majority of Void Demon Dukes had to infiltrate one world after another. There, they would either hunt down another version of themselves or fulfill that other self’s wishes, absorbing their soul to undergo a transformation.

Komi Khan was clearly a Void Demon Duke with a Divine-level Bloodline undergoing such a transformative journey. The power of Void Demon Dukes like him far surpassed that of ordinary ones.

"A Void Demon!! The Great Khan is a Void Demon!!"

"No wonder he wanted us to oppose His Majesty the Poison Emperor! He’s a Void Demon!!"

"Damn it! So many of the tribe’s geniuses have disappeared. It looks like he was the one who did them in!"

"..."

The moment the nobles of the Komi Tribe saw Komi Khan’s true form, it was as if something inside them shattered. They scattered and fled in a frenzy.

The once fiercely loyal Black Wolf Iron Cavalry also felt their faith crumble. They fled in all directions, losing all of their former ferocity.

"You damn little ants! You actually dared to force me, the great Duke Gumo Duo, to reveal my true form! I won’t be satisfied until I’ve slaughtered every last one of you!!"

A vicious light flashed in Duke Gumo Duo’s eyes as an icy aura emanated from his body. When he opened his mouth, countless profound ice Demon Patterns appeared all over him.

In the next instant, a beam of blue light shot toward Xuanwu and the five thousand Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors.

Wherever the blue light passed, everything was frozen solid, turning into blocks of ice.

"Resonance!"

Xuanwu gave a cold smile and activated the Resonance Ability.

The Profound Qi from the five thousand Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors surged out and poured into the Ancient Demon Illusion behind Xuanwu.

The Ancient Demon Illusion behind Xuanwu absorbed the immense amount of Profound Qi, transforming into a fifty-meter-tall Ancient Demon that seemed to touch the sky. It radiated a savage and ferocious aura.

The savage and brutal Ancient Demon slammed its palm down, commanding the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in a ten-li radius as it struck at Duke Gumo Duo, who was two kilometers away.

The beam of blue light struck the terrifying Demon Palm and was instantly shattered. A layer of blue ice immediately covered the right hand of the Ancient Demon Illusion.

BOOM!!

In an instant, the Ancient Demon’s palm smashed into Duke Gumo Duo, slamming him violently into the ground and causing him to spit out a spray of blood.

An extremely excited glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he exclaimed in admiration, "Impressive! These Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors are truly impressive!"

Duke Gumo Duo was extremely formidable, only slightly weaker than King Jiale, whom Shu Feng had fought alongside Wei Tuxian. He was an expert on the same level as Shu Feng, yet he had just been defeated by Xuanwu in a single move. This was a clear testament to the terrifying power of the Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors.

The most terrifying part was that the Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors were still continuously evolving. As long as they kept evolving, they might even become capable of slaying gods in the future.

"Damn you all..."

Duke Gumo Duo roared in fury and shot up from the ground.

BOOM!!

The Ancient Demon in the sky slammed its palm down again, smashing Duke Gumo Duo back into the ground. The blow broke more than a dozen of his bones and made him bleed from his seven facial orifices.

Duke Gumo Duo’s Recovery Power was astonishing. His injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye as he struggled to fly out once more.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The terrifying Ancient Demon formed by Xuanwu relentlessly bombarded Duke Gumo Duo from the sky. It smashed him with one palm strike after another, landing several dozen blows before finally pounding him into a meat paste from which he could no longer recover.

"Source Energy +3,000,000, Power Divinity +4, Agile Divinity +3, Constitution Divinity +3, Defense Divinity +2, Spirit Divinity +1, Intelligence Divinity +1, Ice Divinity +5, Evil God Divinity +2, Holy Soul +20."

Shu Feng watched the line of information appear, the corners of his mouth turning up in a slight smile. ’This Duke Gumo Duo was truly powerful. To think he possessed so much Divinity. A pity he was ultimately no match for my Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors.’

Xuanwu and the five thousand Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors under his command pursued the remnants of the Komi Tribe’s elite cavalry, slaughtering them until rivers of blood flowed.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, many of the Komi Tribe’s nobles chose to surrender.

And with that, the Komi Tribe, one of the four great tribes of the Northern Desert Grassland, vanished like smoke.

After seeing Xuanwu command the five thousand Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors to easily suppress Duke Gumo Duo, Shu Feng entrusted the task of pacifying the Northern Desert Grassland to Xuanwu and his troops.

「Star Sacred Land.」

A Golden Gu Cloud flew in from the distance and descended above the Star Sacred Land. Two figures stood upon it: Shu Feng and the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master.

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master announced in a loud voice, "His Majesty the Poison Emperor has arrived! Star Saint Master, come out and greet him!"

Before long, the Star Saint Master led the upper echelons of the Star Sacred Land to greet them.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Poison Emperor!"

The Star Saint Master and the other high-ranking members of the Star Sacred Land all bowed respectfully to Shu Feng.

Ever since Shu Feng founded the Da Feng Empire, countless eyes had been watching his every move.

The Star Saint Master also knew that Shu Feng now had another terrifyingly powerful force at his disposal, one that had easily crushed the Komi Tribe—one of the four great tribes of the Northern Desert Grassland—and slaughtered countless experts.

Although the Northern Desert Grassland was rife with rebellion, Shu Feng had suppressed it with blood and iron, unifying half of it. The number of people who had died under his iron heel exceeded one million.

The Star Saint Master had no desire to see the entire Star Sacred Land flattened by Shu Feng.

Standing on the Golden Gu Cloud and looking down at the Star Saint Master below, Shu Feng couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion. He recalled how he once planned to infiltrate the Star Sacred Land and strive to become a True Disciple just to secretly learn the Sun and Moon Scripture. But now, that same Star Saint Master was bowing respectfully below him, stirring complex feelings in his heart.

Shu Feng said coolly, "I wish to enter the Star Sacred Land’s Celestial Stele Forest to have a look."

The Star Saint Master said respectfully, "I will lead the way for Your Majesty the Poison Emperor!"

「Inside the Star Sacred Land’s Celestial Stele Forest.」

’So this is the Sun and Moon Scripture. It truly lives up to its reputation. If cultivated to the Realm of True Intent, it’s even more powerful than the Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique!’

Shu Feng stood before the Celestial Stele that passed down the Sun and Moon Scripture, watching the expert on its surface demonstrate the technique. A brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

As a Celestial Realm Martial Saint, Shu Feng had seen countless Martial Arts Secret Techniques. The Sun and Moon Scripture was indeed a cut above most of the techniques he had ever encountered, second only to his Supreme Demon Body.

However, to cultivate the Sun and Moon Scripture to the Realm of True Intent, one needed to be born with the Sun and Moon Sacred Body. Throughout history, the number of people who possessed the Sun and Moon Sacred Body could be counted on one hand, and even those who had it were not guaranteed to cultivate the scripture to the Realm of True Intent.
