Divine-level Base

A bitter thought crossed Emperor Song’s mind: ’If Wei Tuxian were willing to help me, I would have united the world long ago.’

It was true that Wei Tuxian came from the Great Song Empire, but before he rose to prominence, he had been oppressed and hunted by the Empire’s Royal Family. If not for a certain individual who also possessed the royal bloodline, the Great Song Empire would have ceased to exist long ago.

For this very reason, although Wei Tuxian forbade other powers from attacking the Great Song Empire, he was completely unwilling to serve its Royal Family. Instead, he simply stationed himself in War Immortal City, diligently cultivating the Martial Dao and suppressing the Void Demons.

Shu Feng said lightly, "Emperor Song, I wish to enter the Great Song Empire’s Treasure Vault to find a few treasures."

Emperor Song felt a wave of relief and said, "Excellent! I will lead the way for you, Poison Emperor!"

To Emperor Song, as long as Shu Feng wasn’t demanding his abdication, he would agree to anything. After all, as long as he remained the King of the Great Song Empire, he could obtain a continuous stream of various resources and countless Heaven and Earth Marvels.

「Inside the Great Song Empire’s Treasure Vault.」

’Not bad. Worthy of once being the world’s foremost nation. The Treasure Vault truly holds countless precious treasures!’

The moment Shu Feng stepped into the Great Song Empire’s Treasure Vault, he saw countless treasures, many of them emanating fluctuations of Source Energy. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

A hint of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’It’s a pity. If not for my promise to Wei Tuxian, I really should have swallowed the Great Song Empire as well.’

Back then, Shu Feng did have an opportunity to kill Wei Tuxian, but if he had, there would be no one to protect the Black Tortoise Realm. Shu Feng himself would have had to remain in the Black Tortoise Realm to guard this world.

Moreover, Wei Tuxian was most likely the Child of Destiny of the Black Tortoise Realm’s previous era. He had guarded War Immortal City for many years, killed countless Void Demons, and rendered a great service to the realm. It wasn’t that Shu Feng couldn’t kill him, but he would then have to slay even more Void Demons himself. Otherwise, his luck in the Black Tortoise Realm would become terrible.

’What is this?’

Suddenly, a mysterious, unfathomable ripple emanated from the Base Space. Intrigued, Shu Feng walked over to a piece of snow-white jade the size of a washbasin and grabbed it.

Shu Feng infused Profound Qi into the piece of White Jade, but it showed no reaction, as if it were just an ordinary Gemstone.

’If this White Jade were truly a powerful Divine Artifact, it wouldn’t have been left for me to find!’

Shu Feng wasn’t too disappointed. The Great Song Empire had a population in the hundreds of millions, with a sea of geniuses and countless gifted individuals. If this piece of White Jade were truly a powerful Divine Artifact, it would have been claimed long ago.

Shu Feng took the piece of White Jade and proceeded to loot a third of the entire Great Song Empire’s Treasure Vault before finally leaving.

「Inside the Base Space.」

’62,000,000 Source Energy! Plundering a world feels amazing!!’

After Shu Feng dissolved the various Source Energy Treasures he had looted from the Great Song Empire’s Treasure Vault, his total Source Energy finally surpassed the 50,000,000 mark.

’Should I upgrade the base?’

Shu Feng gazed at his 62,000,000 Source Energy, lost in thought.

After a moment of deliberation, Shu Feng decided to use the Source Energy to increase his own strength. ’It’s better to use this Source Energy to improve my own power. After all, if I upgrade the base, I won’t have enough Source Energy left to advance to the Spirit Saint rank.’

In the Black Tortoise Realm, Shu Feng was currently Han Feng, the Poison Emperor, the second most powerful expert in the world with astonishing combat strength. But once he returned to Blue Star, he was still only a Spirit Venerable whose combat power was merely comparable to a Spirit Saint.

On Blue Star, if Shu Feng were to advance to Spirit Saint, his power would likewise increase by a huge margin.

’Let’s see what this treasure does!’

With a thought, Shu Feng took out the piece of White Jade and brought it before the Central Analyzer.

Blue rays of light shot out from a Scanner next to the Central Analyzer, rapidly analyzing the composition of the White Jade.

A line of information appeared: "This object is a fragment of the Black Tortoise Realm’s Heart of the World. Upon use, one can obtain a trace of the Black Tortoise Realm’s Power of World Rules and can synthesize terrifying Synthetic Beasts compatible with the Black Tortoise Realm."

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up, a fervent glint appearing within them. ’A fragment of the Heart of the World! This is a truly incredible treasure!!’

The Black Tortoise Realm’s Heart of the World was incomparably mighty. Even terrifying existences on the level of those with Powerful Divine Power or Upper Demon Kings would be miserably suppressed upon entering this world, unable to exert even a tenth of their full strength.

Fragments of a Heart of the World like this could only be produced when the Black Tortoise Realm’s Heart of the World was either metamorphosing and evolving, or collapsing and being annihilated. They were extremely rare.

If the Black Tortoise Realm were ever dragged into the Void Demon Realm, its Heart of the World would collapse and be annihilated. At that time, only an expert above the level of a Divine Spirit using a special Divine Artifact would have a chance of obtaining a fragment of the Black Tortoise Realm’s Heart of the World.

’Dissolve it. I want to see what kind of treasure this Heart of the World can be refined into!’

A fervent look flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he tossed the fragment of the Heart of the World into the Resource Dissolving Pool.

The moment the fragment of the Heart of the World fell into the Resource Dissolving Pool, the pool began to boil. Countless lights flashed as phantoms of mysterious and unfathomable monsters—flora and fauna, massive Sea Beasts, and ferocious creatures—appeared one after another.

Eventually, the countless monster phantoms vanished, and a human form finally emerged.

"Black Tortoise Spirit Warrior! A human martial warrior of the Fake Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

"Talent Ability: Super Martial Evolution!"

"Special Ability: Array Formation!"

"Power: 1,000, Agility: 1,000, Defense: 1,000, Constitution: 1,000, Intelligence: 1,000, Spirit: 1,000, Profound Qi: 10,000,000, High-level Soul Power: 5."

"Super Martial Evolution: Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors can cultivate various Martial Arts during combat and evolve at a frenzied pace!"

"Array Formation: The greater the number of Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors, the more terrifying their combat power becomes when they form an array. This effect can be stacked infinitely!"

"Cost to synthesize one Black Tortoise Spirit Warrior: 10,000 Source Energy, 1 unit of High-level Soul Power!"

"Black Tortoise Spirit General! A human expert of the Celestial Realm."

"Divine Format: 1."

"Talent Abilities: Super Martial Evolution, Resonance!"

"Special Ability: Array Formation!"

"Power: 2,000, Agility: 2,000, Defense: 2,000, Constitution: 2,000, Intelligence: 2,000, Spirit: 2,000, Profound Qi: 400,000,000, Holy Soul: 10."

"Resonance: A Black Tortoise Spirit General can integrate the power of Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors, erupting instantly to unleash terrifying might."

"Cost to synthesize a Black Tortoise Spirit General: 10,000,000 Source Energy, the Jiale King Divine Format, 50 units of Holy Soul."

A prompt appeared: "The Black Tortoise Spirit Warrior and Black Tortoise Spirit General are special troop types that can only be created by using the Heart of the World from the Black Tortoise Realm. You only have one chance. The next synthesis will require a new Heart of the World."

’Special troop types!!’

A conflicted look appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes.

"Can the Black Tortoise Spirit Warriors slay gods?"

Shu Feng hesitated for a moment before asking the Central Analyzer.

Many troop types had evolutionary limits. For example, the Dragon Hunting Dogs could only evolve up to the Grandmaster Realm, and the Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles could only reach the Spirit Venerable Realm at their peak.
