Divine-level Base

"I can maintain this level of strength until my Power of Void Demon drops to twenty percent! And you two, how much longer can you sustain your current battle power? A hundred moves? Five hundred?"

"Submit to me! As long as you swear fealty to me, I can bestow one Golden Divine Source Fruit upon you!" King Jiale said with a faint smile as he looked at Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian.

Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian both frowned.

Both Shu Feng’s Divine Burst and Wei Tuxian’s Rejuvenation Secret Technique were difficult to sustain, and the energy they consumed was terrifying. In a battle of attrition, they simply couldn’t compete with the Void Demon King, King Jiale.

During such an all-out battle, Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian’s Profound Qi consumption was terrifying. They truly could not maintain this state for long.

Even though the Black Tortoise Realm’s Heart of the World was doing its utmost to suppress King Jiale, the realm had been corroded by the Void Demon Realm for a hundred years. The Heart of the World itself had been partially tainted, making it unable to perfectly suppress the Void Demon King.

Wei Tuxian said coldly, "Submit to you? Impossible!"

Shu Feng chuckled. "King Jiale, you are not worthy of my submission!"

"Oh? A pity. In that case, you can all just die!"

A vicious glint flashed in King Jiale’s eyes. Unleashing a Demon Fist, he commanded the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and blasted it toward Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian.

Shu Feng waved his hand. A swarm of Crystal Child Gu flew out, transforming into a Crystal Gu Cloud that lunged forward.

King Jiale’s fist slammed into the Crystal Gu Cloud, scattering it instantly.

"This again? Soul Destruction Technique!"

King Jiale’s brow twitched. Mysterious, unfathomable Curse Seals, brimming with endless killing intent, swirled into existence within his pupils.

A beam of Soul-Annihilating Death Light shot toward the Crystal Child Gu in the sky. As the light swept over them, the countless Gu fell like raindrops.

Wei Tuxian appeared like a phantom behind King Jiale. He struck with Immortal Fall, blasting a huge hole through the king’s body.

"King Jiale, die!!"

Shu Feng’s figure blurred. Wreathed in terrifying Demonic Qi, he threw a punch. Plumes of Demon Clouds materialized and descended from the sky, forming a Demon God’s Fist that crashed down on King Jiale.

"You dare engage me in close combat?! Han Feng, you’re courting death!"

A vicious glint flashed in King Jiale’s eyes. He took a single step, appearing before Shu Feng’s chest as if he had teleported. With a flick of his wrist, his right hand plunged into Shu Feng’s chest, ripped out his heart, and crushed it in his grasp.

THUMP!

Within the Base Space, the heart of a Dragon Hunting Dog instantly shattered, flying into pieces.

"Got you now, King Jiale!!"

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He clapped his massive hands together as if swatting a fly, bringing them down on King Jiale.

King Jiale’s figure blurred. Plumes of Demon Clouds materialized and coiled around his body, entangling him. He struggled forcefully, and with a burst of Demonic Qi, instantly shattered the clouds.

In that single instant, Shu Feng’s enormous Demon Claws were already less than a meter away from King Jiale.

King Jiale threw up his hands, effortlessly blocking the Demon Claws that were even larger than he was.

Shu Feng opened his mouth. A Mutated Crystal Gu, imbued with Divinity, shot out like a bolt of lightning. It instantly pierced King Jiale’s Void Demon Membrane and latched onto his body.

A mysterious, unfathomable Curse Seal materialized on the body of the Mutated Crystal Gu.

BOOM!!

A terrifying, world-shaking explosion ripped through the air.

Both of Shu Feng’s arms and King Jiale’s right arm were torn off by the blast, splattering blood everywhere.

The five Mutated Crystal Gu, imbued with Divinity after devouring countless crystal walls, were Shu Feng’s most terrifying trump card. The power of their self-destruction was so immense that not even Shu Feng, with his sixth-level Supreme Demon Body, could withstand it.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Three more Mutated Crystal Gu flew from Shu Feng’s mouth, pouncing on the heavily injured King Jiale.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

Three terrifying explosions erupted at once, enveloping the two powerhouses, Shu Feng and King Jiale.

Within the Base Space, the bodies of three more Dragon Hunting Dogs bound to Shu Feng by a Blood Contract exploded, scattering into countless fragments of flesh and blood.

When the terrifying explosions subsided, Shu Feng’s arms were gone. King Jiale’s body was also a tattered wreck, covered in wounds.

Flesh writhed and knitted together as both Shu Feng’s and King Jiale’s bodies began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although King Jiale was far more grievously wounded than Shu Feng, his Recovery Power was several times faster.

"Eight Immortal Slaying Techniques, Heaven Opening!!"

Wei Tuxian’s combat experience was immense. In a near-instant, he appeared behind King Jiale and struck his back with Heaven Opening. A terrifying torrent of Profound Qi poured into King Jiale’s body.

The terrifying Profound Qi coursed through King Jiale, causing his Demon Blood to spray out from his many wounds once again.

"Immortal Fall!!"

"Demon Destruction!"

"..."

Wei Tuxian frantically channeled his Profound Qi, unleashing a relentless barrage of the Eight Immortal Slaying Techniques on King Jiale. He knew with absolute clarity that even with the two of them working together, this was their one and only chance to kill the Void Demon King.

Once King Jiale recovered, both Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian would be doomed.

Amidst the churning Profound Qi, King Jiale was completely powerless under Wei Tuxian’s frenzied assault. His wounds were shattered by Wei Tuxian’s blows the moment they began to heal, making it impossible for him to rally his power.

"No!! How could I die in a backwater place like this?! Impossible! Stop, Wei Tuxian! If you stop, I’ll leave immediately and even help you achieve Ascension to Divinity!!"

King Jiale shrieked, his body a tattered wreck and splattering Demon Blood. He had infiltrated the Black Tortoise Realm with the casual mindset of a tourist on vacation. He had planned to simply wait for Wei Tuxian to die of old age or for the Black Tortoise Realm to be fully corroded by the Void Demon Realm. Then, he and a few other Void Demon Kings could have easily carved up the realm, dragged it into the Void Demon Realm, and received a reward to advance even further. He had no intention of dying in such a backwater place.

"Is that true? You can help me achieve Ascension to Divinity?"

The glow around Wei Tuxian’s fists dimmed as he hesitated for a moment.

King Jiale hurriedly said, "That’s right! I have a Secret Technique for achieving divinity through faith! Wei Tuxian, with your prestige in the Black Tortoise Realm, you could easily spread your faith, gather the Power of Faith, ignite your Divine Fire, and become a Demigod! Then, you can use the Power of Faith to advance and become a full-fledged Divine Spirit!!"

"Not interested! I have my own path! And I’m so sorry for deceiving you!"

Wei Tuxian suddenly grinned. He slammed a Heaven Opening strike into King Jiale’s body, once again grievously wounding the body that had just begun to recover.

"Wei Tuxian, you bastard! If you want me dead, then let’s die together!!"

A vicious glint flashed in King Jiale’s eyes as his Demonic Qi began to boil. His mangled head opened its mouth and spat out a blue pillar of light that shot directly toward Wei Tuxian.
