Divine-level Base

’To think someone would dare attack my master! The sheer audacity!’

Within the Base Space, Shu Feng was wreathed in Demonic Qi. An Ancient Demon Illusion over seven meters tall loomed behind him, giving him the appearance of a Void Demon King. He snapped his eyes open, and a terrifying aura billowed out from his body.

「Before the Bi Yao Demon Palace.」

"What business do you have sneaking into my Bi Yao Demon Palace?"

Shangguan Biyao’s cold, proud voice echoed before the Bi Yao Demon Palace.

"Sect Leader Bi Yao, you are truly worthy of being the new tenth-ranked master in the world. Your reputation is well-deserved!"

The dark shrouds dissipated, revealing eight Void Demon Dukes.

"Sect Leader Bi Yao, His Majesty wishes for an audience. Please come with us."

A Void Demon Duke, disguised as an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"The only ones in the Black Tortoise Realm addressed as ’His Majesty’ are the Great Khan of the Bei Mo Royal Court, the Poison Emperor of the Da Feng Empire, and Emperor Song of the Great Song Empire."

"Aside from them, the only other one called ’His Majesty’ is the Void Demon King on the Void Demon Battlefield."

"Since you dare to set foot in my Bi Yao Demon Sect, you must be experts from the Void Demon Clan! And for you to dare enter the Black Tortoise Realm... are you seeking death?"

Dressed in a cyan palace gown, the peerlessly beautiful and proud Shangguan Biyao walked out from the Bi Yao Demon Palace step by step, her hands clasped behind her back. She looked down upon the eight Void Demon Dukes below and said with an air of arrogance.

The Heart of the World in the Black Tortoise Realm suppresses experts from the Void Demon Clan. Void Demon Dukes who descend upon this realm can even be killed by its Half-Saints.

"Shangguan Biyao, if we dared to come for you, then we naturally came prepared!"

The leader, Duke Colente, gave a savage smile. His terrifying Void Demonic Qi began to boil as his body suddenly swelled, bursting his clothes. He transformed into a six-meter-tall Giant Demon with bulging, knotted muscles, a green face, and vicious fangs.

The other seven Void Demon Dukes transformed as well. In their place stood two more six-meter-tall Giant Demons, three two-meter-tall Strong Bull Demons, and two corpse-like Dukes from the Ghost Demon Race with deathly pale skin.

"Void Demon Dukes! You dare come here? Aren’t you afraid Wei Tuxian will come and kill you?"

A grave look flashed in Shangguan Biyao’s eyes as she spoke slowly.

The more powerful the Void Demon, the greater the world’s rejection and the worse their luck upon entering the Black Tortoise Realm. Over the past century, several Void Demon Dukes who descended were reported to Wei Tuxian by the realm’s Martial Artists and were subsequently slain by him.

"Right now, he’s in War Immortal City. He’s completely tied up!"

Duke Colente smiled faintly, a vicious glint in his eyes. With a flicker of his body, he shot forward, lunging at Shangguan Biyao and striking ferociously with his claw.

A cold light flashed in Shangguan Biyao’s eyes. She unleashed the Ten Thousand Flowers Demon Sword. With a light tap of her slender fingers, countless flowers materialized. From within these blossoms, streams of exceptionally sharp Sword Qi bizarrely emerged, piercing Duke Colente’s body and riddling it with bloody holes.

Duke Colente paid it no mind. With a surge of Demonic Qi, the bloody holes on his body healed in an instant, and he brought his claw crashing down.

Shangguan Biyao’s graceful figure twisted slightly as she employed a sublime Step Technique. Moving as if performing the Flower Fairy Stroll, she evaded Duke Colente’s claw with masterful perfection.

"As expected of the Sect Leader of the Bi Yao Demon Sect, the new tenth-ranked master in the world!"

One of the Ghost Demon Race Dukes let out a savage grin. His pupils turned pitch-black and deep, and bizarre vortexes began to swirl within them.

A twisted, eerie light enveloped Shangguan Biyao. Her body instantly felt heavy and her mind grew dim, as if she were filled with a profound disgust for the world. She was overcome with a suffocating vexation, and the urge to kill herself.

’Not good!’

Although a woman, Shangguan Biyao was the equal of any man. She was the peerless expert who had single-handedly founded the Bi Yao Demon Sect. Circulating her Profound Qi, she instantly recovered.

A Strong Bull Demon Race Duke slammed a fist into Shangguan Biyao’s back, shattering her Protective Gang Qi and landing a heavy blow on her body.

Shangguan Biyao spat out a stream of blood and fell to the earth like a meteor, having sustained over a dozen broken bones. Even with her power, dealing with a single Void Demon Duke was an immense challenge.

Against the eight Void Demon Dukes working together, it was nearly impossible for Shangguan Biyao to even escape.

"Got her!"

An ecstatic glint flashed in Duke Colente’s eyes as he reached out to grab Shangguan Biyao.

"What do you think you’re doing to my master?"

An icy voice rang out from the side. Demon Clouds materialized out of thin air, and a terrifying Sword Aura imbued with the Cloud Realm slashed toward Duke Colente.

Alarm bells screamed in Duke Colente’s mind, and he retreated abruptly.

A flash of blood-red light. The Sword Aura instantly severed Duke Colente’s right arm. Then, streams of Sword Qi erupted, mincing the severed limb into fragments that scattered across the ground.

"Poison Emperor Han Feng!!"

The eight Void Demon Dukes watched as Shu Feng, wielding the Semi-Divine Artifact [Void Divine Sword], slowly walked out from the side. Their eyes narrowed slightly.

After the battle in the Flame Great Desert, Shu Feng’s incarnation, Poison Emperor Han Feng, had become as infamous as Wei Tuxian among the Void Demon Clan invading the Black Tortoise Realm.

He was the monster who had fought King Jiale to a standstill. Even though King Jiale’s Power had been heavily suppressed by the Black Tortoise Realm, the fact that Shu Feng could fight him proved he was a peerless monster on par with Wei Tuxian.

Duke Colente’s face was a mask of disbelief. "How is this possible? Han Feng, you were clearly in seclusion in the Da Feng Empire’s Imperial Palace!"

The Void Demon Clan had a vast intelligence network spanning the entire Black Tortoise Realm, with countless experts having defected to their side. Shu Feng’s movements were also supposed to be under their watch.

"My Martial Techniques are still a notch below Wei Tuxian’s! However, Swordsmanship was never my greatest strength to begin with!"

A cold light flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He activated his Supreme Demon Body and transformed into an Ancient Demon over seven meters tall, exuding a terrifying aura.

The moment his transformation was complete, Shu Feng activated King’s Authority, entering a state of Divine Burst. He erupted forward, appearing before one of the Ghost Demon Race Dukes like a bolt of lightning, and unleashed the Cloud Demon Hand.

Terrifying Demon Clouds billowed into existence. From within them, a monstrous Demon Palm descended from the sky, smashing down toward the Ghost Demon Race Duke.

"Die!!"

Two vortexes appeared in the Ghost Demon Race Duke’s pupils. A Soul Piercing attack shot out like lightning, stabbing viciously toward Shu Feng’s soul.

That Ghost Demon Race Duke was extremely weak in close combat, but its Soul Piercing Magic was incredibly potent. Even a Demigod Level expert would be wracked with unbearable pain if their soul was struck by it.
