「Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.」

The Base Space consumed a full two million Source Energy, finally compiling the countless Demon Techniques from the Celestial Stele Forest to derive an incredibly terrifying Demonic Ultimate Skill: *Supreme Demon Body*.

’It’s finally derived! Good thing my subordinates pulled their weight, or I wouldn’t have had enough Source Energy.’

Shu Feng looked at the newly derived *Supreme Demon Body*, a fervent glint flashing in his eyes.

The two million Source Energy consumed was the result of over a month of work by Shu Feng’s experts. He had used his subordinates to plunder the Da Feng Empire one more time, making it difficult for him to acquire another massive amount of Source Energy from the Empire anytime soon.

’Incredible! So this is the *Supreme Demon Body*. It’s unbelievably powerful! Compared to this, the *Undying Demon Body* is complete trash! This Cultivation Technique can lead to becoming a Body God!’

Shu Feng carefully studied the *Supreme Demon Body*. The more he read, the brighter his eyes grew, and a look of excitement flashed across his face.

The *Supreme Demon Body*, a fusion of countless Demon Secret Techniques, was an Unparalleled Secret Technique that allowed one to become a Body God, far surpassing even the foundational techniques of a sect.

For an ordinary human to become a Divine Spirit Level being, there are two known paths. The first path is to be like the human Divine Spirits of the Gulondo World: ignite one’s Divine Fire and rely on Divine Power converted from the Power of Faith to directly achieve Faith Godhood. The second path, most popular among the Void Demon Race in the Void Demon Realm, is to become a Body God.

Achieving Faith Godhood through the Power of Faith is much easier than becoming a Body God. As long as one spreads their faith and comprehends a certain Law to a sufficient degree, they can ignite their Divine Fire, condense a Divine Format, obtain a Divine Position, and directly achieve Faith Godhood.

Becoming a Body God, however, is much more difficult. It requires consuming countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth, undergoing numerous arduous trials, cultivating a Top Level Divine Secret Technique, and enduring endless tribulations before one even has a chance of success.

The only reason Shu Feng was unwilling to walk the path of Faith Godhood was that none of the Great Powers in the Void Demon Realm had taken it.

Besides, while the Divine Spirits who walked the path of Faith Godhood were all individually powerful, this was only true under specific conditions. Their strength was paramount only when they were Burning Divine Power, within a world where they commanded specific Laws and had a massive number of believers.

In other worlds, the power of these faith-based Divine Spirits would decline to a terrifying degree. On Blue Star, a Divine Spirit who achieved Faith Godhood would be utterly crushed, perhaps even instantly killed, by a Void Demon who had become a Body God.

Shu Feng committed the *Supreme Demon Body* to memory, then headed to a cultivation chamber in the Da Feng Empire’s Imperial Palace to begin his grueling training.

「Time flew, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.」

Inside a secret chamber, Shu Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by bottles of various potent poisons that could easily kill a Martial Saint, as well as various Top Level Spirit Pills required for a Martial Saint’s cultivation.

Countless streams of black Demonic Qi emerged from behind Shu Feng, evolving into a terrifying four-meter-tall greater demon. It had a single Ghost Horn on its head, a ferocious, demonic face, eyes like a dragon’s, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its muscles were knotted and powerful, its hands and feet were immense and tipped with razor-sharp claws, a pair of wings unfurled from its back, and a thick tail trailed behind it.

Shu Feng suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled. The phantom of the terrifying greater demon behind him instantly transformed into a vast and incomparably pure stream of Profound Qi that flowed into his body.

’I’ve finally mastered the first level of the *Supreme Demon Body*! It was so difficult! With the resources of the Da Feng Empire, I can only cultivate the *Supreme Demon Body* to the second level at most.’

Shu Feng opened his eyes, and with a thought, lines of data appeared before him.

"Shu Feng"

"Power: 3000 (+300), Agility: 2800 (+300), Defense: 2900 (+300), Constitution: 3000 (+300), Intelligence: 3100 (+300), Spirit: 3400 (+300), Magic Power: 500 million, Profound Qi: 2.4 billion (+1.2 billion), Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 2900 (+200), Spiritual Power: 500 million, Holy Soul: 9 units."

Shu Feng mused, ’Source Energy... If I had a massive amount of it, I could use it to replace other resources and improve my evolution!’

As soon as Shu Feng left the Base Space, he walked directly out of the sealed cultivation chamber.

"Your Majesty, today is the enthronement ceremony. We ask that Your Majesty please bathe and dress for the occasion."

The moment Shu Feng left the sealed cultivation chamber, the Sect Master of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

The Thousand Gu Demon Sect Master had only recently witnessed Shu Feng’s diligence. Ever since founding the Da Feng Empire, Shu Feng had delegated all administrative matters to him, the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect Master, Shangguan Biyao, and Huang Pu Lihua. Shu Feng himself spent all his time either comprehending Martial Arts in the Celestial Stele Forest or cultivating in seclusion. He was a complete Martial Fool.

Shu Feng said indifferently, "I know."

If it weren’t for the enthronement ceremony today, Shu Feng would have continued his cultivation in seclusion until he ran out of Cultivation Resources.

The Holy Demon Hall was the main hall where the emperors of the former Great Zhou Demon Country held court and received foreign envoys. It now served the same purpose for the Da Feng Empire.

At this time, envoys from the various nations and super-sects of the Black Tortoise Realm had already gathered in the Holy Demon Hall.

"The Ten Thousand Demon Gu King has finally reappeared! And this time, its master directly destroyed the Great Zhou Demon Country! One man destroying an entire country... truly terrifying! Zhang Yong, the Da Feng Empire borders your Great Song Empire. Aren’t you worried?"

A burly man from the Bei Mo Royal Court—with countless braids, a full beard, and a fierce face—suddenly smiled at a refined middle-aged man beside him. Despite his intimidating appearance, the burly man’s eyes glinted with shrewdness, and he wore a fine brocade robe.

Zhang Yong said calmly, "My Great Song Empire has Wei Tuxian, the number one under heaven."

At these words, the burly man from the Bei Mo Royal Court stiffened, a flicker of frustration in his eyes.

Wei Tuxian, the "number one under heaven" residing in War Immortal City, was the ultimate goal for every Martial Saint in the Black Tortoise Realm—and also their greatest nightmare. No one had ever been able to defeat him.

Over the years, the Bei Mo Royal Court had clashed with the Great Song Empire on the border countless times, gaining the upper hand in every engagement. Furthermore, they had the Blazing Sun Sword Saint, the "number two under heaven," serving as their National Preceptor. Yet, they still dared not launch a large-scale invasion of the Great Song Empire, all because of that old monster in War Immortal City named Wei Tuxian.

The Blazing Sun Sword Saint was a peerless genius of the Bei Mo Royal Court. When he was born, a golden wolf carrying a pearl in its mouth fell into his tent. At six, he already looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth and could kill with a sword. He became a Martial Artist at seven, a Martial Master at eight, a Grand Martial Master at nine, a Grandmaster at thirteen, a Great Grandmaster at fifteen, a Martial Venerable at seventeen, a Half-Step Martial Saint at twenty, advanced to Martial Saint at thirty, and became number two under heaven at thirty-five.

The Blazing Sun Sword Saint was now one hundred and thirty-five years old, but he was still only number two under heaven. He admitted he was no match for Wei Tuxian and had never dared to set foot in War Immortal City to challenge him.

Wei Tuxian was from the Great Song Empire, and as long as he lived, no one would dare to invade it.
