Divine-level Base

Countless Curse Seals on the Void Demon Tower flared to life as a black pillar of light shot out from within, piercing the sky.

The Power of Void Demon from thousands of miles around was drawn in, absorbed into the Void Demon Tower.

Inside the Void Demon Tower, the Power of Void Demon was converted into Void Demon Liquid. It fell like raindrops into the Magic Liquid Pool, where it was absorbed by the pipes of the Base Space and channeled into Shu Feng’s body.

Nourished by the abundant resources, Shu Feng’s Demon Body grew continuously until it finally stopped at a height of forty-nine meters.

CRACK!

A large egg cracked open, and Shu Feng emerged. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. With a mere thought, lines of data appeared before him.

"Shu Feng."

"Power: 93,000 (+15,000), Agility: 93,000 (+15,000), Defense: 93,000 (+15,000), Constitution: 93,000 (+15,000), Intelligence: 91,000 (+15,000), Spirit: 94,000 (+15,000)."

"Charm: 14,100 (+1,000), Demigod Power: 50,000,000 (+40,000,000), Divine Soul: 1 unit."

’I’ve reached my limit again! My Divine Soul just can’t seem to reach 2 units. Only when my Divine Soul reaches 2 units can I truly evolve to the realm of an invincible Demigod!’

Shu Feng looked over his stats, his brow furrowing for a moment before the corners of his mouth lifted into a pleased smile.

The realm of an invincible Demigod meant that a Demigod could directly slay an ordinary Divine-level Powerhouse. Even in the Void Demon Realm, a world teeming with powerhouses, peerless geniuses who could reach such a state were exceptionally rare.

Many intelligent beings have evolutionary limits. Shu Feng was considered a genius among geniuses of the Human Race, yet even he had encountered a bottleneck on his path to becoming an invincible Demigod; the path was fraught with difficulty.

’The best way to break this limit is to go to the Gulondo World, absorb my other self, and shatter the limits of my soul.’

Shu Feng wasn’t worried; he had already thought of a solution.

’Time to go back. I hope the greatest opportunity on the Nia Continent hasn’t already been claimed.’

「On the streets of Nia Royal City.」

A figure wearing a black cloak that hid their face was walking down the street.

"What’s going on? This Royal City should be crawling with monsters."

The cloaked figure was puzzled. ’The other cities I passed through were all filled with monsters. This Royal City is the heart of the Nia Continent; it should be hiding some truly terrifying creatures.’

"Traces of fire... scorching!! Damn it, someone beat me to it! The Nia Gemstone, my Nia Gemstone!!"

After walking a bit further, the cloaked figure’s expression suddenly changed. As far as the eye could see, the ground was charred and blackened by flames.

’The Imperial Palace!’

A strange light flashed in the cloaked figure’s eyes. With a flicker, his body shot toward the Imperial Palace like a bolt of lightning.

The moment the cloaked figure arrived at the Imperial Palace, he saw Shu Feng walking out from within.

"It’s you! You’re the damned thief who stole my Nia Gemstone! Die!"

A vicious glint flashed in the cloaked figure’s eyes. With a furious roar, he pointed a finger, and a crimson Flame Dragon instantly appeared, hurtling straight for Shu Feng.

"What rotten luck! Still, since you want to die, I’ll be happy to oblige!"

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. His Long Sword left its sheath. He executed his Storm Swordsmanship, achieving the Unity of Man and Sword. Transforming into an impossibly terrifying Storm Sword Aura, he cleaved the crimson Flame Dragon in two and slashed wildly toward the cloaked figure.

"Flame Barrier!"

The cloaked figure’s expression changed slightly. Countless Flame Elements churned, and a Defense Barrier blazing with furious flames appeared before him, filled with countless swirling Flame Element creatures like Fire Crows, Firebirds, and Fire Snakes.

BOOM!!

With a terrifying, earth-shattering boom, the Defense Barrier constructed from Flame Elements was cleaved apart by Shu Feng’s sword.

In a flash of fiery light, the cloaked figure was thrown back dozens of paces. A horrific sword wound appeared on his body, and drops of golden Divine Blood dripped to the ground.

Each drop of golden Divine Blood that hit the ground burst into flame.

"You damned insect! You lowly mortal, you dare wound me?! You wounded the great Flame God! You’re dead! I will tear you limb from limb... wait, you’re Shu Feng, the Godslayer!"

A monster with hair like fire, its eyes inscribed with two flame-like Curse Seals, appeared. It had a pair of wings, and its hands and feet were tipped with sharp claws. It exuded a terrifying Divine Might, but upon seeing Shu Feng, it faltered, and a look of apprehension flashed in its eyes.

Godslayer was the title many had given to Shu Feng; after all, he was the legendary powerhouse, the first to have single-handedly slain a Divine Spirit.

"You’re... I remember now. You’re the Flame God, the Evil God worshipped by the Evil Cult of the Flame God! No matter who you are, just die!"

Shu Feng executed his Storm Swordsmanship, his entire body becoming like a terrifying storm as he slashed directly at the Flame God.

"Shu Feng, you’re only powerful because you rely on your Summoned Beast, the Light Flame God! On your own, you’re nothing!"

A vicious glint flashed in the Flame God’s eyes. With a roar, he beat his wings, wielding terrifying flames as he clashed madly with Shu Feng.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Storm and flame continuously erupted within the Imperial Palace, sending terrifying shockwaves spreading in every direction.

Each of Shu Feng’s sword strikes contained terrifying power, forcing the Flame God to retreat with every blow. Moreover, Shu Feng’s speed was flawless; no matter how strange the Flame God’s movements were, he could react instantly, his blade forcing the god into a sorry retreat.

’This monster is so strong! How can a Demigod possibly be this powerful? Impossible!’

The longer the Flame God fought Shu Feng, the more alarmed he became. He, a dignified Divine Spirit of the Weak Divine Power Level, was actually being suppressed by a mere Demigod. If word of this got out, it would become a lifelong stain on his honor, and he would be mocked by the other Divine Spirits for the rest of eternity.

Although a Demigod had already ignited their Divine Fire, in the eyes of a Divine Spirit, they were still merely a mortal. For a Divine Spirit to fight a mortal to a standstill was simply a disgrace.

The Flame God proposed, "Shu Feng! Let’s stop. There’s no point in continuing this fight. I can’t kill you, and you can’t kill me either. The Nia Continent is full of dangers. How about we join forces to explore it and search for treasure together?"

If the fight continued, the Flame God’s only other option was to flee. He still had a trump card: Burning Divine Power to cast a powerful Divine Art. But as an Evil God, he had few believers in the various kingdoms, and maintaining his existence left only a small surplus of power. If he repeatedly used powerful Divine Arts and exhausted his Divine Power reserves, he would be helpless in any future battles.
