Merging with Demon Spirits

As the apostle of the Shadow Celestial King, and the most valued disciple of the Shadow Celestial King, Shadow Spirit’s strength is definitely more than this.

The title of "Clones" is not only famous in the Pure Land but also renowned across the world.

If it weren’t for being overly confident, thinking he could clone Lin Feng’s [Stand] Soul Skill by willingly entering the Dragon Fish’s circle, he would not be so easily defeated by Lin Feng.

Shadow Spirit’s true strength was not fully shown, and his disappearing shadow never appeared from beginning to end.

That disappearing shadow is a special Secret Skill of the Shadow Celestial King and one of his main methods of attack.

After the battle ended, two green shimmering leaves appeared separately in front of Lin Feng and Shadow Spirit.

Lin Feng touched the leaf with his right hand, and as the leaf dissipated into smoke, the consumed Soul Power was quickly restored.

"Did you refine a Divine-level Demon Spirit?"

Shadow Spirit asked Lin Feng, his gaze filled with a hint of surprise and doubt.

Lin Feng smiled without explaining.

Even with an explanation, the other party wouldn’t believe it.

Who could believe he refined a Demigod?

Lin Feng’s nonchalant attitude and smile made Shadow Spirit angry, but the battle was over, facing the taunts of the audience, he could only leave with confusion and helplessness.

"The pants just came off and it’s already over?"

"It hasn’t even been two minutes, felt like it ended before it even started."

"How did Shadow Spirit become so weak? I remember his debut was quite remarkable, passing four stages and almost winning the fifth."

"It must have been a clone failure, Shadow Spirit looks bewildered, probably hasn’t regained his senses yet."

The audience’s chatter revealed dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Compared to the first two stages, the audience was very interested in the battle between Lin Feng and Shadow Spirit.

They were curious how Lin Feng would get rid of his "shadow," and how this "shadow" would play with Lin Feng.

What was expected to be an outstanding, thrilling battle ended abruptly.

This third stage felt even more boring than the previous two.

Compared to some audience members’ confusion and bewilderment, the Celestial Kings saw everything clearly.

From the very beginning, Shadow Spirit had made an incorrect judgment.

They were somewhat similar too.

"To actually clone fails, not even able to imitate!"

The Shadow Celestial King’s brows knitted, unable to hide the surprise.

She had confidence in Shadow Spirit’s strength but had also prepared for failure. However, she hadn’t predicted failure would come in this way.

For Shadow Spirit who could clone even a Celestial King’s abilities, why would it fail on Lin Feng?

"Been waiting for so long and unable to force it out!"

Beast Celestial King looked at Lin Feng’s direction with some lament.

He felt some disappointment but more so anticipation.

He grew increasingly curious about the Demon Spirit Lin Feng refined.

It was thought the Dragon Fish was already impressive, but this mysterious Demon Spirit was even more special.

Both Demon Spirits so rare and precious, such "collections" are rare even in a hundred years, not to be missed.

If missed, it would be a regret for a lifetime.

"Could it be the effect of a Soul Skill?" Dream Celestial King speculated.

"Probably not."

Wind Celestial King shook his head, denying this speculation.

As the fifth-ranked presence on the Exotic Beast Chart, what kind of Soul Skill could suppress the replication ability of [Shadow] Demon Spirit?

Even he couldn’t think of one immediately.

There are countless types of Soul Skills, with strange and varied effects, even a Celestial King can’t know them all, so Dream Celestial King’s speculation wasn’t without merit.

Yet who would waste a precious Soul Skill slot for a counteracting Soul Skill?

A Demon Spirit can only absorb ten Soul Skills.

The more talented a person is, the more cautious and picky their choices for Soul Skills.

Lin Feng’s Soul Skill combination was luxurious, purely Purple Gold and Diamond class, including Divine-level Soul Skills; to perfect his battle system, he didn’t even absorb Barrier type Soul Skills.

No matter what the profession or attribute of a Demon Spirit Master, Barrier Soul Skills are universally recognized as essential.

Barrier Soul Skills are the best guarantee for one’s safety and the most effective means.

If Lin Feng didn’t even absorb Barrier Soul Skills, how could he absorb a counteracting replication ability type of Soul Skill?

That wouldn’t relate to his battle system at all.

The number of Demon Spirit Masters possessing replication abilities is extremely limited, with a low likelihood of encountering them, even if encountered, it may not be an opponent worth fighting, so there’s no need for such precautions.

"For Shadow Spirit’s replication ability to fail, there’s only one possibility, Lin Feng’s Demon Spirit is at such a high level that even the ’shadow’ isn’t qualified to replicate."

Beast Elder King confirmed.

This is the only possibility.

The other Celestial Kings nodded in agreement; this seemed to be the only possibility.

Everyone looked toward Fate Celestial King.

Shadow Spirit couldn’t replicate Fate Celestial King’s ability to regrow his severed limb.

The World Tree of Fate Celestial King, ranked fifth on the Earth Chart, is of such high level that it is arguably the highest among the Twelve Celestial Kings.

Due to the World Tree’s high level, Shadow Spirit couldn’t clone it.

"Could it be Lin Feng refined another Earth Chart Top Ten Demon Spirit? The level truly that high?" The youthful, shiny-faced Immortal Celestial King seemed skeptical.

Shadow Spirit can’t clone his ability, but that’s because he is special enough, not due to high Demon Spirit level.

To outsiders, the biggest feature of Fate Celestial King is the World Tree.

Universally recognized as the top healing Demon Spirit.

But many don’t know that the World Tree is actually Fate Celestial King’s second Demon Spirit.

His Lifebound Demon Spirit is also on the Earth Chart but falls a notch below the World Tree.

Isn’t Dragon Fish said to be Lin Feng’s second Demon Spirit, and that mysterious one is his Lifebound Demon Spirit?

The likelihood of a Lifebound Demon Spirit absorbing an Earth Chart Top Ten is very low.

Could Lin Feng truly be such a Demon Fiend?

"Talent isn’t something that can be accurately described," Celestial King Kong chuckled lightly.

Perhaps there really is such a Demon Fiend, who can say.

It’s important to note that Lin Feng’s Soul Skill combination is incredibly luxurious, even far beyond theirs.

Perhaps only such a Demon Fiend with innate talent could absorb such luxurious Soul Skills.

Though surprised by the Demon Spirit’s high ranking, since no answers were available, they didn’t dwell too much on the matter.

But they were increasingly interested and attentive to Lin Feng.

The third stage of the debut was over, yet even Lin Feng’s second Demon Spirit was not forced out, nor did Lin Feng take any injuries.

According to convention, Celestial King Hai asked, "Who will be next for the fourth stage?"

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Past apostle debuts were intense, even brutal.

Clearing one stage might require one or two hours, but Lin Feng had passed three stages in under an hour, most of which they spent pondering the task and the prize.

While the Celestial Kings contemplated, a striking figure flapping Spiritual Power Wings flew toward Lin Feng.

"My name is Sesilia, Middle Rank Spirit King, Spirit Celestial King’s Celestial Soldier, and the task for the fourth stage is to defeat me. The prize is the Space Ring in my hand, measuring 0.5 cubic meters."

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl flapped her wings, floating in the air, clad in a cyan robe, as she spoke, extending her fair left hand, showcasing a light green Jade Ring on her pinky finger to Lin Feng and the audience.

Space Ring!

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.

He had one such treasure before, acquired from killing Hai Wei as spoils, measuring a full three cubic meters, auctioning for a price of 2700 billion.

It was because of this Space Ring that Lin Feng didn’t worry about resources.

Though a 0.5 cubic meter Space Ring has a smaller capacity, it still holds an invaluable worth, estimated at hundreds or potentially thousands of billions.

The key aspect is that it’s impossible to purchase.

"Your decision."

Celestial King Hai’s voice reached Lin Feng’s ears.

"I accept."

Lin Feng replied directly.

In the next instant, wisps of cyan gas emitted from the girl’s pores, quickly manifesting into a substantial bird Life Soul around her.

The Life Soul was over ten meters tall, cyan all over, exuding a regal aura mixed with dignity.

Upon emerging, the air immediately grew hot, and the wind began howling.

"Cyan Simurgh, ranked 72nd on the Earth Chart."

Lin Feng silently thought, realizing Sesilia isn’t an apostle but an apostle’s Celestial Soldier.

Even a Celestial Soldier refines Earth Chart Demon Spirits!

"Go."

Sesilia, positioned at the Cyan Simurgh’s chest, softly moved her arms. As she waved, the Cyan Simurgh beat its wings, rapidly condensing mini Cyan Simurghs each half a meter in height. Once the mini Cyan Simurghs occupied much of the sky, they transformed into phantoms, blasting toward Lin Feng.
