Divine-level Base

Chapter 333 - 332: Great Harvest

The two Half-Saint Level Void Demon Marquises and thirty Spirit Venerable Level Void Demon Counts were helplessly pierced by one blood-red line after another, sealing the power within their blood. Shu Feng then tossed them into his base to be modified.

An hour later, the modification of the two Half-Saint Level Void Demon Marquises and thirty Spirit Venerable Level Void Demon Counts was complete.

At Shu Feng’s command, the thirty Spirit Venerable Level Void Demon Counts began summoning the Void Demon Nobles from the Void Demon Corps into the Lord’s Mansion of the Black Swamp Marquisate.

Every Void Demon Noble who entered the Lord’s Mansion of the Black Swamp Marquisate was on a one-way trip, falling into Shu Feng’s control.

Through those Void Demon Nobles, Shu Feng brought the entire 150,000-strong elite Void Demon Corps under his control.

’When united, these three elite Void Demon Corps could even besiege and kill a Spirit Saint Level powerhouse. Too bad Spirit Saints aren’t training dummies; they would just flee.’

A look of deep satisfaction appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes as he took control of the three great corps of the Ghost-devouring Demons. He was immensely pleased.

Every powerhouse at the Spirit Saint Realm was incredibly formidable. However, if one faced a 150,000-strong elite Void Demon Corps alone, they would have to flee after killing one or two thousand at most. Otherwise, once their Spiritual Power was depleted, they would be surrounded by the Void Demon Corps and slowly worn down to death.

Of course, if a 150,000-strong Void Demon Corps was not overseen by a powerhouse of Void Demon Marquis Level or higher, then a Human Race Spirit Saint could kill one or two thousand of them a day and completely slaughter the entire elite Void Demon Corps in just over seventy days.

Inside the Black Swamp Marquisate.

"Laida, Xivin, I want you to continue operating undercover in Duke Yide’s ranks. Do you have a good way to explain Marquis Hilardo’s disappearance?" Shu Feng asked the two Void Demon Marquises under his command.

If he had been able to capture Marquis Hilardo alive, Shu Feng could have gained complete control of this demon army, continued to lie low near the two Void Demon Dukes, and then turned on them at a critical moment.

Marquis Laida said, "That’s simple! We can report to Duke Yide that an Assassin from the Ghost Demon Clan assassinated Marquis Hilardo. That will be enough."

Shu Feng asked in surprise, "And that’s enough? An Assassin from the Ghost Demon Clan would assassinate one of you at a time like this? Aren’t they afraid of starting a war between our two clans?"

"Master, you don’t understand. The blood feud between us and the Ghost Demon Clan is irreconcilable. If it weren’t for the Mad Blade Ghost-devouring King’s command, we would never travel with those despicable Ghost Demons."

"In fact, there are influential figures within your Qianyuan Republic colluding with us. We sell out the movements of the Ghost Demon Clan’s armies, letting the Qianyuan Republic annihilate them. In turn, those same figures give us handsome rewards, such as precious materials or the location of one of your armies."

"We of the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan are always prepared to stab the Ghost Demon Clan in the back, and they feel the same way about us. There will be absolutely no problem pinning Hilardo’s death on an Assassin from the Ghost Demon Clan."

"Hilardo doesn’t have a powerful family backing him, so no one will bother to investigate the matter."

Marquis Xivin said calmly.

Hilardo himself was the most powerful member of his family. With him dead, the family lost its pillar of support. Even if the others were suspicious, how would they dare question two Void Demon Marquises?

Shu Feng fell into thought. ’So there really are influential figures in the Qianyuan Republic colluding with Void Demons! No wonder we were hunted by those Void Demon Corps back in the Erosion Realm.’

After handing over control of the Black Swamp Marquisate to the two powerhouses, Marquis Laida and Marquis Xivin, Shu Feng returned directly to Mire Dragon Territory.

In the rear, two Void Demon Dukes were mobilizing their troops and preparing for war. Both were terrifying existences at the Spirit Saint Level, with experts as numerous as the clouds under their command. Who knew what powerful Secret Treasures they had hidden as trump cards? Shu Feng had no desire to go there just to get himself killed.

In a secret chamber in the Lord’s Mansion of Mire Dragon Territory.

"Source Energy +1,000!"

"Source Energy +5,000!"

"..."

Shu Feng began to take stock of his spoils of war.

The three Void Demon Marquises, thirty Void Demon Counts, two hundred Void Demon Viscounts, and one thousand Void Demon Barons all possessed many Secret Treasures and personal collections. Shu Feng threw every treasure containing Source Energy into the Resource Dissolving Pool, dissolving them for a massive amount of Source Energy.

’Three hundred thousand Source Energy!! Fantastic! Getting three hundred thousand Source Energy all at once is a huge haul. And Mi’Er’s evolution just completed! I’ll use this Source Energy on myself!’

Shu Feng thought happily, planning to implant several more powerful, Epic-grade Skill Seeds into his body at once, drastically increasing his own survivability.

’This pearl... this must be the secret to how Marquis Hilardo was immune to the Ghost Orchid Poison.’

Shu Feng stretched out his hand, and a cyan-colored pearl appeared in his palm. It was with this cyan Treasure Pearl that Marquis Hilardo had resisted the Ghost Orchid Poison and launched a sudden attack on Shu Feng.

If Shu Feng’s strength hadn’t advanced so greatly, Marquis Hilardo might have actually succeeded in turning the tables, suppressing and finishing him off right then and there.

"Can this pearl be implanted into my body and become a part of me, giving me immunity to toxins?"

Shu Feng placed the cyan pearl before the Central Analyzer and asked curiously.

This world was full of all kinds of strange and wondrously potent poisons. The Void Demon Clan even possessed toxins that could cause the downfall of a Divine Spirit.

In the Void Demon Realm, there was a terrifying entity known as the Eight-armed Medicine King who had developed countless poisons. Many Legendary Powerhouses from the great worlds had been felled by all manner of bizarre toxins, dying frustrating, ignominious deaths at the hands of nobodies.

Shu Feng felt it would be best to possess immunity to deadly poisons. Otherwise, being casually taken out by someone using poison would be an incredibly humiliating way to die.

The Sun and Moon Scripture was a top-level Secret Technique from the Black Tortoise Realm that could grant immunity to some toxins. The Undying Demon Body, a top-level Body Refining Secret Technique, also gave Shu Feng immunity to some toxins. But against a horrifying poison like Fall of the Divine, Shu Feng would still be brought to his knees.

Transparent tentacles surged out from the Central Analyzer, wrapping themselves around the cyan pearl. Countless streams of inscrutable data flowed through the Central Analyzer, rapidly analyzing the pearl’s composition.

"Consuming 300,000 Source Energy can fuse this cyan pearl into your body. You will acquire the ability to absorb deadly toxins. From now on, various poisons can become nutrients for your evolution. Your Undying Demon Body will grow even stronger."
