Divine-level Base

Intelligent beings, much like humans, have limits to their cultivation and evolution. Only by igniting one’s Divine Fire and becoming a Demigod can these limits be broken, allowing for continued evolution.

However, there are also some extremely precious Treasures of Heaven and Earth in the world that can allow one to break their physical limits and continue evolving. The Source Energy within the Base Space is one such treasure. In addition, the nine fruits upon the Golden Divine Tree evidently possessed this same power.

An incredibly strange storm erupted, spreading in all directions and instantly blowing Shu Feng and Nangong Yuan away.

The collapsed Crystal Cave Mansion suddenly materialized above the Flame Great Desert.

"What powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations! That must be a Divine Level Treasure of Heaven and Earth."

"A Divine Tree has emerged! That’s a treasured tree belonging to powerhouses above the Divine Spirit Level!"

"The Divine Tree is mine!"

"..."

The experts lingering in the Flame Great Desert all sensed the aura of the Golden Divine Tree. A fervent gleam flashed in their eyes as they all flew toward it.

’Damn it! How could this happen? That Golden Divine Tree is mine!’

After great difficulty, Shu Feng finally stabilized himself in the terrifying storm. Gritting his teeth, he leaped into the air and sped toward the Golden Divine Tree.

’Isn’t that Miss An? Why is she here?’

After flying for a dozen miles, Shu Feng spotted Miss An lying on the sand several dozen miles away. She was dressed in black, her face pale.

An old man in a black robe with a pockmarked, round face also changed direction and flew toward Miss An, his eyes gleaming with lust. He had clearly set his sights on the peerless beauty.

’She’s a Divine Spirit Level powerhouse! And she doesn’t seem like the temperamental type who repays kindness with malice. Even if there’s no reward for saving her, I probably won’t get killed for it.’

A peculiar glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. With a flicker of his body, he sped toward Miss An.

"I am Mingqing Ancestor. This woman is a concubine of mine who got lost. Friend, I’d ask you to leave."

Seeing Shu Feng fly over, the pockmarked, round-faced old man in the black robe frowned slightly and released the terrifying aura of a Martial Saint Level expert.

Countless Martial Saint Realm experts had gathered in the Flame Desert. Although Mingqing Ancestor coveted Miss An’s beauty, he was unwilling to make a powerful enemy for no reason.

Outside of the Flame Desert, Mingqing Ancestor would have slapped Shu Feng to death long ago.

Shu Feng gave Mingqing Ancestor a speechless look. ’You dare claim a Divine Spirit Level powerhouse is your concubine? You really have a death wish.’

Even Wei Tuxian, the number one expert in the Black Tortoise Realm, would face certain death if he encountered a Divine Spirit Level Void Demon King outside his realm.

’Mingqing Ancestor is a mere Martial Saint at the Sensing Realm Peak, yet he claims a Divine Spirit powerhouse is his concubine. He truly has a death wish.’

Shu Feng said coolly, "She is my friend. Get lost. I am the Poison Emperor."

"The world’s second strongest, the Poison Emperor!"

Mingqing Ancestor’s expression changed drastically. He stared at Shu Feng, a flicker of Fear in his eyes, and took several steps back.

After entering the Great Song Empire, Shu Feng had suppressed the Prison Skull Sect in one fell swoop, earning a fearsome reputation. Even Mingqing Ancestor had heard of the infamous Poison Emperor Han Feng.

Mingqing Ancestor quickly came to his senses. He sized up Shu Feng, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and sneered, "I may not know the Poison Emperor personally, but I know the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master. On his current travels, the Poison Emperor is accompanied by an old servant, who is none other than the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master. You imposter! How dare you try to scare me! You’re courting death!"

In that same instant, countless Poison Needles, shimmering with an eerie light, shot out from Mingqing Ancestor’s back, flying straight for Shu Feng.

These bizarre Poison Needles were Mingqing Ancestor’s signature hidden weapon, the Scorpion Poison Needle. The potent toxin was refined from a poisonous insect called the Demon Scorpion, found in the Mingqing Mountain Range. Even a Celestial Heart Realm Martial Saint would be overcome with unbearable Pain and left helpless if struck by a single Scorpion Poison Needle.

Mingqing Ancestor had used this hidden weapon technique, which he had brought to a level of Mastery, to assassinate several Martial Saints.

’I was going to let you go, but you just had to come seeking death. You truly have a death wish.’

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He pointed, and a Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura shot out like a Poisonous Flood Dragon. It shattered the countless strange Poison Needles and continued straight toward Mingqing Ancestor.

"Stop! Your Majesty, the Poison Emperor! I was wrong! Don’t kill me!"

Mingqing Ancestor’s face paled. He shrieked in terror and slashed out with his sword, sending a blast of cyan Sword Qi frantically cutting toward the Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura.

CLANG!

With a sharp sound, the Long Sword in Mingqing Ancestor’s hand shattered. The Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura struck his head like a Poisonous Flood Dragon, piercing straight through it.

’What should I do with this powerhouse?’

Shu Feng looked at the fallen Miss An, hesitated for a moment, then snapped his fingers, summoning a Dragon Hunting Dog and a luxurious horse-drawn carriage.

The Dragon Hunting Dog picked up Miss An and placed her inside the luxurious carriage.

"Miss An, this is the best elixir I have. I hope it can help with your injuries. If you don’t need it, feel free to refuse it."

Shu Feng boarded the luxurious carriage and spoke to the unconscious Miss An.

’Many Top Level experts have their own automatic Defense mechanisms when unconscious. While they can’t guard against experts of the same caliber, they can prevent weaker, opportunistic scoundrels from taking advantage.’

’Shu Feng had no desire to be killed by an unconscious Miss An’s defensive measures.’

Shu Feng took out a Healing Holy Pill from the Great Zhou Demon Country and carefully placed it on Miss An’s cherry-red lips.

Almost instantly, the Healing Holy Pill vaporized and seeped into Miss An’s body.

’Incredible!’

Shu Feng’s eyes narrowed. He placed several more bottles of Healing Elixirs on Miss An’s lips, and she absorbed them all, yet showed no signs of recovery.

’This is all I can do. I have to get my hands on that Divine Fruit.’

Shu Feng stepped down from the carriage and beckoned with his hand. The fully recovered Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master instantly appeared.

"Greetings, Master!"

Shu Feng said, "Take good care of Miss An. Don’t let anyone disturb her."

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master replied, "Yes, Master!"

With a flicker of his body, Shu Feng sped toward the Golden Divine Tree.

Standing quietly beneath the Golden Divine Tree was an old man—none other than Wei Tuxian, the most powerful expert in the world.
