Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Shamed into a Rage
Shangguan Biyao arched an eyebrow, saying nothing.
Immortality. That was the ultimate goal countless powerhouses dreamed of. In the Ancient Era, the numerous emperors, kings, generals, and ministers of the Black Tortoise Realm had committed many shocking and unbelievable acts in their pursuit of long life.
Even some brilliant and ambitious emperors from their youth committed atrocities in their twilight years for the sake of immortality. There was even a great founding emperor who, in his pursuit of long life, sold the very kingdom he established to the Void Demon Clan in exchange for the status of a Void Demon Noble.
The Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master’s words held a great temptation for a powerhouse like Shangguan Biyao. After all, she was no longer young either.
"Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master, your words make no sense. You sided with the Void Demon Clan for immortality! You might as well have sided with me."
"I, Han Feng, am destined to become a Divine Level powerhouse, to break the shackles of the human body and achieve immortality! As humans yourselves, isn’t it far better to side with me, a fellow member of the Human Race? Why must you be a dog for the Dragon Demon Race?"
"Those who are not our kin cannot be trusted. Do you think the Dragon Demon Race doesn’t understand this principle? They are merely using you. Once you have lost your value, you will be cast aside."
"Once the Black Tortoise Realm is conquered, you will have no value left. Then, you’ll be treated as cannon fodder, thrown into the conquest of other worlds to act as the vanguard, only to die a miserable death."
"Side with me! If you pledge your allegiance to me now, I can grant you positions as my followers after I become a Divine-level Powerhouse."
Shu Feng glanced at the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master and the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, smiled nonchalantly, and spoke.
Void Demon Dukes like the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master and the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, who were converted from humans, were far stronger than ordinary Void Demon Dukes within the Black Tortoise Realm. But in the Void Demon Realm, they couldn’t compare to pure-blooded Void Demon Dukes at all.
Once the Black Tortoise Realm was conquered and absorbed by the great figures of the Void Demon Realm, these human-turned-Void Demon Dukes like the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master would have little value.
After all, the Void Demon Realm was filled with powerhouses. Experts of the Void Demon Duke Level were nothing special there.
"Silence!! You think you can become a Divine Spirit?! What a fool’s dream! Even Wei Tuxian failed to achieve Ascension to Divinity, so what makes you think you can?!"
A vicious glint flashed in the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master’s eyes. With a furious roar, the Void Demonic Qi around him seethed as he threw a punch. The attack seemed to transform into a colossal purple mountain capable of suppressing the heavens and earth as it blasted directly toward Shu Feng.
After the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master’s Demonization, the power of his punch more than tripled. Its might was comparable to a full-strength strike from the Sword Demon. After his Demonization, his strength was already on par with the Sword Demon, who ranked tenth in the world.
"This world is beyond saving! Only by becoming Void Demons can we survive. Only then can we live better lives. You want to achieve Ascension to Divinity? Wei Tuxian failed, so what makes you think you can?!"
The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master unleashed the Profound Demon Ten Hooks. Layer after layer of hook-like shadows struck at Shu Feng from incredibly bizarre angles as he roared, a vicious light flashing in his eyes.
Wei Tuxian was the number one expert in the Black Tortoise Realm, a terrifying powerhouse publicly acknowledged as invincible. Countless Void Demons had died at his hands. Even several Grand Duke Level Void Demons had been brutally killed by his fists.
Yet even the invincible Wei Tuxian had failed to achieve Ascension to Divinity and was now withered with age. This drove all the Martial Artists of the Black Tortoise Realm to despair, leaving them unable to see any hope for attaining godhood through the Martial Dao.
Among the worlds surrounding the Black Tortoise Realm, besides the Void Demon Realm, only the Gulondo World and the Andoras World possessed Divine Spirits.
It was the protection of the Divine-level Powerhouses from those two worlds that had allowed them to hold out until now.
For the past hundred years, the Black Tortoise Realm had relied on Wei Tuxian, a man so powerful he was almost a Divine Spirit, to guard War Immortal City and hold back the countless Void Demons.
But even though Wei Tuxian had nearly reached the level of a Martial Arts God, he still couldn’t overcome the limits of a human lifespan. He was now withered with age, yet he had still not undergone the sublimation of life to advance to a Divine Spirit. Once he died, no one in the Black Tortoise Realm would be able to resist the invasion of the Void Demon Realm’s armies.
"It’s simple! I’m strong enough! I can master any Divine Technique with just a single glance! Fine, I’ll let you witness my true power."
Shu Feng smiled nonchalantly. A spectral image of a great demon that bore a strong resemblance to him appeared behind him, and countless mysterious Demon Patterns surfaced on his body.
Shangguan Biyao’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’The Undying Demon Body, one of the Nine Great Divine Techniques of the Prison Skull Sect!’
"Break!"
Shu Feng activated the Undying Demon Body and, like a terrifying Demon God, threw a punch at the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master.
Inside Shu Feng’s body, countless runes flashed on the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King as it activated its Physical Enhancement Ability, once again strengthening Shu Feng’s physique.
BOOM!
An incredibly terrifying bang echoed out. The purple mountain formed by the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master’s right fist collapsed. His right fist twisted grotesquely as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body blasting backward. His face was a mask of disbelief. "How is this possible? I’m already a Void Demon Noble! How can a human’s physical constitution be stronger than mine?!"
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master’s Profound Demon Ten Hooks slashed viciously at Shu Feng’s body as if striking the hardest refined steel, managing to carve out a dozen or so wounds with great difficulty.
After Shu Feng activated the Undying Demon Body, his Defense Power increased exponentially, becoming astonishingly strong. An ordinary Martial Saint couldn’t even break through his defense. Only a powerhouse on the level of the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master could barely manage to injure him.
"Prison Void Demon Step!"
Shu Feng took a step, creating a sky full of Residual Shadows. As if teleporting, he instantly appeared before the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master and unleashed a furious barrage of punches.
"Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, your opponent is me!"
Just as the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master was about to support the Purple Mountain Demon Sect Master, hundreds of Mutated Golden Silkworm Gu flew over, forming a terrifying golden cloud of insects that swarmed toward him.
"Get lost!"
A furious glint flashed in the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master’s eyes. He activated his battle hooks and slashed wildly at the Tier Six Mutated Golden Silkworm Gu. One after another, the Mutated Golden Silkworm Gu were sent flying by his Demon Hooks, their bodies covered in terrifying wounds.
However, the Defense Power of those Tier Six Mutated Golden Silkworm Gu was also astonishingly high. Aside from a few that were directly blasted apart, the rest of the Mutated Golden Silkworm Gu continuously flew in, pouncing on the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master.
