RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

A series of terrifying, deafening rumbles echoed from within the Base Space. The entire space rapidly expanded outward, growing by another hundred kilometers.

Within the Base Space, the volume of all the various structures increased more than tenfold. They transformed into horrifying buildings that seemed to be cast from flesh and blood, suffused with a strange and mysterious aura.

Inside the Base Space, fleshy tendrils squirmed and writhed. A tower with a diameter of one thousand meters, constructed from countless flesh-and-blood tissues and imbued with endless, profound mystery, suddenly emerged.

The base’s evolution was finally complete seven days later.

"Level 6 Base evolution complete. The next level evolution requires 50,000,000 Source Energy, or 20,000,000 Source Energy and 10 units of Divine Soul."

"Tower of Laws: Can absorb various forms of Divinity, Divine Formats, Divine Positions, True Intents, or similar existences, and consume Source Energy to inscribe their Laws into the tower. The Tower of Laws can also consume Source Energy to rapidly analyze the Laws of different worlds."

"Level 6 Base evolution complete. Commencing scan of the host!"

Beams of scanning light shot out from a fan-shaped scanner next to the Central Analyzer, enveloping Shu Feng.

Shu Feng asked the Central Analyzer, "Is there a way for me to master Martial Arts True Intent?"

For a Divine Technique, the difference in power between mastering it with and without Martial Arts True Intent was more than tenfold. An expert who had mastered a Martial Arts Divine Technique could fight above their level and kill opponents with higher cultivation, even if their own cultivation was slightly weaker.

"Yes! Kill an expert who has mastered Martial Arts True Intent, inscribe their Martial Arts True Intent onto the Tower of Laws, and then consume Source Energy. This will allow you to accelerate your comprehension of Martial Arts True Intent. The higher your Intelligence, the less Source Energy you will need to consume."

’I have to kill an expert with Martial Arts True Intent? That’s too difficult! In the entire Black Tortoise Realm, I’m afraid only Wei Tuxian has mastered Martial Combat True Intent!’

Shu Feng was speechless. This was a classic chicken-and-egg problem.

The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor had only mastered the Profound Demon Three Seals at the level of Half-Step True Intent, yet he was already unbelievably powerful.

"Consume 10,000,000 Source Energy to strengthen the main body and enhance your foundation?"

"Yes!"

Shu Feng stepped into the Energy Evolution Tower. Countless viscous fluids immediately enveloped him, forming a large cocoon.

A continuous, frenzied stream of Source Energy poured into Shu Feng’s body, strengthening his physical form and soul.

Every cell in Shu Feng’s body was nourished by the Source Energy, becoming even more terrifyingly powerful.

One Holy Soul after another merged directly into Shu Feng’s body, becoming nourishment for his soul’s evolution.

「Seven days later.」

CRACK! With a crisp sound, Shu Feng stepped out of the large cocoon. At his thought, a line of data appeared.

"Shu Feng!"

"Power: 2,500 (+500), Agility: 2,400 (+500), Defense: 2,500 (+500), Constitution: 2,600 (+500), Intelligence: 2,700 (+500), Spirit: 3,000 (+500), Magic Power: 500,000,000, Profound Qi: 1,200,000,000 (+300,000,000), Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 2,600 (+500), Spiritual Power: 500,000,000, Holy Soul: 9 (+4) units."

A slight smile touched the corners of Shu Feng’s lips. ’I spent ten million Source Energy, which is more than all the Source Energy I’d used before combined, but it only raised my physical attributes by 500. It seems the further I go, the harder it is to evolve.’

Shu Feng’s current physical attributes were already extremely terrifying. In terms of physical stats alone, many Void Demon Dukes were far inferior to him.

Physical attributes were the foundation of everything. The stronger one’s physical attributes, the easier it was to cultivate various Martial Arts, and the greater one’s evolutionary potential would be.

Although Shu Feng’s stats had only increased by 500 across the board, his actual combat power had more than doubled.

’This is a broken Semi-Divine Artifact! It seems the grand ancestor of the Great Zhou Demon Country managed to get his hands on some good stuff in the Void Demon Battlefield back in the day!’

Shu Feng held the battered Black Gold Battle Halberd, a strange glint in his eyes. He tossed it directly into the Resource Dissolving Pool.

SZZT!

The tattered Black Gold Battle Halberd was instantly broken down.

"Power Divinity +2, Sharp Divinity +1, Divine Gold +15 units!"

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up as he asked, "How much Source Energy will it cost to integrate these three points of Divinity into my body?"

Divinity was the embodiment of Law and possessed all kinds of mysterious, unfathomable power. It could strengthen an expert by a fixed ratio, a power that could practically be called heaven-defying.

Of course, once Shu Feng activated his Divine Power, the drain would be immense and difficult to sustain. The more Divinity he had, the greater the cost of activating it.

Those lofty Divine Spirits could burn their Divine Power to offset the cost of using their Divinity, allowing them to maintain their peak combat strength at all times.

However, an expert like Shu Feng, who was not at the Divine Level, could only sustain the massive cost of his Divinity by consuming his own various energies. If not for his incredibly high Constitution and Spirit, he would be completely unable to bear the drain of activating eight points of Divinity at once.

A line of information appeared from the Central Analyzer: "To integrate 2 points of Power Divinity requires 200,000 Source Energy. To fully integrate all 3 points of Divinity requires 5,000,000 Source Energy."

Shu Feng was shocked. "Why does it cost so much Source Energy to integrate three points of Divinity?"

"Integrating Divinity from the same system costs less. To integrate Divinity from a different system, the Source Energy cost is much higher, and the burden on your body is also immense. Your body will require adjustments."

"Divinity related to the six basic physical attributes belongs to one system. Sharp Divinity belongs to another system. Sharp Divinity is a better fit for your Summoned Beast, the Steel Beast."

Lines of information appeared one after another.

’Integrating Sharp Divinity would undoubtedly make me stronger. But it would also make it harder for me to integrate Divinity from other systems in the future.’

’In this world, as long as I don’t go to War Immortal City and try to get myself killed by challenging Wei Tuxian, my life isn’t really in danger.’

’Unless a Void Demon Duke takes action, or some ancient forbidden ground from this world emerges. Otherwise, I can still cultivate safely for a while and increase my strength.’

’In that case, I’ll integrate the 2 points of Power Divinity!’

Shu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up as he asked, "Wait a minute! I can’t integrate Sharp Divinity! But the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King can! Central Analyzer, how much Source Energy would it cost for the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King to integrate the Sharp Divinity?"

"The Ten Thousand Demon Gu King only needs to consume 1,000 Source Energy to integrate 1 point of Sharp Divinity. Are you sure, however? Integrating other types of Divinity into the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King in the future could grant you different kinds of Extraordinary Power."

"That’s true! I should let the Steel Beast integrate the Sharp Divinity! I’ll integrate the 2 points of Power Divinity."

Inside the Energy Evolution Tower, countless viscous fluids sprayed out and enveloped Shu Feng, forming a large cocoon. Two points of golden light sank into his body.
