Divine-level Base

Duke Sailu and Duke Maine, the two Void Demon Dukes, also followed closely behind Duke Leibo, flying toward the summit of Saint Transformation Mountain.

"Their target is Shu Feng!!"

A worried look flashed in Zhao Zixing’s eyes as a layer of flames erupted over her, making her resemble a burning Flame Goddess.

As a high-ranking member of the Mire Dragon Territory, Zhao Zixing received a massive amount of resources every year. Consuming Spiritual Objects like Mire Pearl Rice daily had allowed her to break through to the Spirit Sect and become a formidable powerhouse.

Li Xuan Yi frowned and shouted sternly, "No! Zixin, you can’t go! They are Void Demon Dukes! The power gap between us is too great. You’ll just be throwing your life away!!"

"Even if I die, I want to die with him!!"

Zhao Zixing gritted her teeth, transformed into a Flame Phoenix, and soared into the sky, flying directly toward the three Wolfman Demon Dukes.

Surprise flashed in Jiang Chao’s eyes as he remarked, "I never would’ve guessed. Who knew that girl Zixin was so in love with Shu Feng."

Shu Feng was the Patriarch of the Yuanhai Shu Family, a future Spirit Saint, and possessed immense power. He was one of the great figures destined to control Blue Star in the future, and countless women adored him.

But the number of women who would disregard everything for Shu Feng at a moment of life and death, who valued his life more than their own, could be counted on one hand.

Jiang Chao knew that Zhao Zixing liked Shu Feng, but he had never imagined she liked him to this extent.

’Shu Feng really is a lucky guy!!’

Luo Feng watched Zhao Zixing’s retreating figure, a complex look in his eyes, and sighed to himself. He had always secretly had feelings for Zhao Zixing, though he knew she liked Shu Feng. To see her willing to go this far for him now naturally left him with mixed emotions.

The Flame Phoenix that Zhao Zixing had transformed into opened its beak and spewed out terrifying fireballs, capable of incinerating anything, blasting them directly at Duke Leibo and his two companions.

Duke Leibo casually crushed an incoming fireball with his claw, frowning slightly as he said, "Maine, there’s a little bug behind us. Get rid of her."

"That little chick is pretty good-looking. Just my type! What a shame!!"

Maine glanced at Zhao Zixing, who looked like a Flame Goddess amidst the flames. A look of pity flashed in his eyes. With a flicker of his body, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, he blasted through the fireballs Zhao Zixing had launched. In an instant, he appeared before her and thrust his claw toward her heart. "Beauty, what a pity. We met at the wrong time; otherwise, I really wouldn’t want to kill you!"

’This is bad!!’

Zhao Zixing’s Spiritual Sense flared, and a premonition of death washed over her. But she was completely powerless, able only to watch helplessly as Maine’s claw plunged toward her heart.

Sparks of thunder light flared. In the very next instant, the blade-covered Steel Beast appeared beside Zhao Zixing like a flash of lightning. It swung its Steel Scythe, striking at Maine with the speed of lightning.

A terrifying flash of blade light glittered, and the incredibly sharp Steel Scythe swept across Maine’s body.

A shower of blood erupted from Maine’s body. An expression of disbelief flashed in his eyes as his body, now in two halves, fell directly from the sky.

"Maine is dead!!"

"How can Shu Feng’s Summoned Beast be this strong?"

A solemn look flashed in the eyes of the two Wolfman Demon Dukes, Leibo and Sailu, as they stared intently at the Steel Beast.

The Steel Beast reached out, grabbed Zhao Zixing, and threw her directly into the distance.

Zhao Zixing took the opportunity to channel her flames, transforming into a massive firebird and gliding away into the distance.

The Steel Beast’s appearance meant that Shu Feng had been prepared. Zhao Zixing naturally no longer needed to sacrifice herself needlessly to buy him time.

Although Zhao Zixing had already advanced to the Spirit Sect, in a battle between Spirit Saint-level powerhouses, she was nothing more than a burden and cannon fodder.

Unless they were wielding a Divine Artifact on the level of the Seven Great Holy Spears, or possessed a Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability, the vast majority of Spirit Sect cultivators were mere cannon fodder in a war between Spirit Saint-level powerhouses.

The Steel Beast flickered, riding the thunder light like a bolt of lightning as it flew toward Duke Sailu, viciously slashing down at him.

"A mere Summoned Beast dares to be so arrogant!!"

A ferocious look flashed in Duke Sailu’s eyes. The Power of Void Demon roiled around him, and his right claw, shrouded in layers of terrifying Power of Void Demon, smashed viciously toward the Steel Beast.

BANG!

Following a terrifyingly loud crash, Duke Sailu was sent flying into the distance like a broken doll. His right arm was slightly twisted, and a new gash, deep enough to show bone, had appeared on it.

A look of disbelief flashed in Duke Sailu’s eyes as he cried out, "Impossible! How can this monster’s body be stronger than mine?"

A vicious glint flashed in the Steel Beast’s eyes. Its Spiritual Qi flared, and with a flicker of its body, it pounced toward Duke Sailu.

A cold glint flashed in Duke Leibo’s eyes. He frantically channeled his Power of Void Demon and spread his five fingers. A large black net, inlaid with ten Spirit Saint-level skulls, instantly appeared. It emanated a strange and evil aura as it swept toward the Steel Beast.

The large black net was an Evil Sacred Artifact known as the Black Skull Net. It had been forged by a Demigod-level Void Demon Grand Duke who specialized in refining Secret Treasures, using the skulls of ten Spirit Saint-level powerhouses he had slain. The artifact was immensely powerful and could easily suppress experts at the Spirit Saint Level.

The Steel Beast’s eyes narrowed slightly as it looked at the Black Skull Net. A faint glimmer of Divinity flashed within its body, and it slashed at the black net again and again, each strike as fast as lightning.

CRACKLE!

Countless blade flashes imbued with lightning struck the black net. Wherever the blade flashes passed, the black net immediately began to collapse.

However, the ten Spirit Saint-level Black Skulls opened their mouths and spat out streams of black light. The threads of the black net rapidly regenerated and swept directly toward the Steel Beast.

"Quick, go kill Shu Feng!! I can’t hold it off for long!!"

The Steel Beast was simply too ferocious. The entire Black Skull Net was on the verge of collapse, in danger of shattering at any moment. Once the Black Skull Net broke, even Duke Leibo and Duke Sailu combined would be no match for the Steel Beast.

Duke Sailu gritted his teeth and frantically channeled his Power of Void Demon. Generating a terrifying sonic boom, he shot toward Shu Feng’s cave at a horrifying speed that rivaled the speed of sound.

Just as Duke Sailu was a hundred meters away from Shu Feng’s cave, a mysterious, unpredictable line of blood shot out directly from the cave. In a single instant, it pierced through Duke Sailu’s head.
