’Right now, I have no Power of Faith, nor do I have a method to use it. I can’t ignite my Divine Fire and advance to a Demigod. Besides, I haven’t even reached the limits of the Spirit Saint Realm yet. There’s no need to rush into becoming a Demigod. Otherwise, I’ll cut off any hope of achieving divinity through my physical body in the future.’

Ascending to divinity through the Power of Faith involves gathering the belief of countless intelligent beings to undergo a fundamental evolution of one’s life form. Achieving divinity through the physical body, however, relies on one’s own arduous cultivation to achieve the same evolution. The difference in difficulty between the two is incomparable.

’Cultivating the Supreme Demon Body and achieving divinity through my physical body is a much better path for me!’

Inside the large egg, Shu Feng closed his eyes and activated the Supreme Demon Body. A phantasmal image of a terrifying, great demon appeared behind him.

The terrifying, ferocious demon phantom opened its cavernous maw and inhaled wildly. A stream of incomparably pure Demonic Qi shot out from the Demon Horn on Shu Feng’s forehead and flew straight into the great demon’s mouth.

The four-meter-tall great demon continuously devoured the incomparably pure Demonic Qi. Incomparably sharp bone spikes sprouted from its body as it evolved, step by step, into a five-meter-tall great demon exuding a ferocious and terrifying aura.

Two golden rays of Divinity sank into Shu Feng’s body, fusing with the mysterious Curse Seal that had been formed from his Power Divinity.

Waves of intense pain immediately wracked Shu Feng’s body as streams of Source Energy poured into him, becoming nourishment for the fusion of his Divinity.

Only after his Divinity absorbed the power of the Source Energy did Shu Feng’s genes begin to stabilize and continue their evolution.

「One month later.」

CRACK!

Shu Feng burst directly out of the large egg. With a thought, lines of data appeared before him.

"Shu Feng."

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity 10/10, Agile Divinity 1/1, Defense Divinity 1/1."

"Divine Traits: Fixed 500% Increase in Strength Performance, Fixed 50% Agility Enhancement, Fixed 50% Defense Enhancement, Divine Resistance +12, Immune to High-level Lethal Spells!"

"Sun and Moon Scripture Tenth Layer, Hundred Refinements Steel Body (Seventy Refinements), Ninth Layer of Illusion God Meditation Method, Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique Seventeenth Layer, Supreme Demon Body Fourth Layer!"

"Power 4,000 (+1,000), Agility 3,600 (+800), Defense 3,700 (+800), Constitution 3,800 (+800), Intelligence 3,900 (+800), Spirit 4,200 (+800), Magic Power 500,000,000, Profound Qi 4,800,000,000 (+2,400,000,000), Badge Power 1,320,000."

"Charm 3,200 (+300), Spiritual Power 500,000,000, Holy Soul 14 (+5) units."

A strange glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Holy Soul is really hard to increase. The Third Layer of the Supreme Demon Body only increased my Holy Soul by 1 unit. This means my Divinity limit is 14 points. I can still add 2 more points of Divinity.’

According to the analysis of various records Shu Feng had collected, the Central Analyzer determined that 1 point of Holy Soul could generally accommodate 1 point of Divinity. This was the limit for an ordinary Spirit Saint Level life form.

Of course, Shu Feng could also consume Source Energy to break this limit. However, doing so would require a massive amount of Source Energy and leave behind hidden flaws. The 10 million Source Energy he had previously spent to adjust and optimize himself was precisely to strengthen his foundation and repair the various hidden issues caused by his rapid evolution.

In the future, Spirit Saint Level monsters like the Thunder Dragon Eel and the Inverted Cross Synthesis Beast would also need to consume massive resources to strengthen their Holy Souls if they wanted to accommodate more Divinity.

’Only one of Han Feng’s wishes remains: to protect Xiaozhu! As long as I help Xiaozhu advance to Martial Saint, I can fulfill his wish. Then, my soul can evolve again.’

’Helping Xiaozhu advance to Martial Saint will require massive amounts of Source Energy, all sorts of Top Level resources, and a Cultivation Secret Technique that is most compatible with her.’

’The most compatible Secret Technique for Xiaozhu’s Taiyin Sacred Body is the Taiyin Scripture from the Taiyin Sect, a Martial Arts Holy Land in the Great Song Empire. It’s a secret technique created in the Ancient Era by a peerless cultivator who possessed an invincible Taiyin Sacred Body!’

’After I obtain that unparalleled secret technique, I’ll use the Central Analyzer to deduce a Divine Secret Technique for Xiaozhu to cultivate. That will allow her to evolve.’

Shu Feng got up and walked over to Su Mi, who was currently cultivating.

Crimson rays of Profound Qi swirled around Su Mi, giving off a sacred and beautiful aura.

As soon as Shu Feng approached, the crimson rays of Profound Qi immediately receded into Su Mi’s body.

Su Mi opened her beautiful eyes and gave Shu Feng a captivating smile. "Big Brother, is something wrong?"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "I plan to give you 3 points of Power Divinity and 3 points of Defense Divinity to help you evolve! Do you like this gift?"

Ten points of Divinity was a threshold, enough to condense a Demigod Format. For intelligent life forms below the rank of Demigod, 10 points in a single-attribute Divinity was the limit. One had to condense a Demigod Format to continue accumulating Divinity in that same attribute.

Of course, there were ways to break the 10-point limit for a single-attribute Divinity, such as possessing a special and powerful Divine Artifact or belonging to an innately powerful race.

Shu Feng’s Power Divinity had already reached 10 points, so naturally, his next step was to choose Divinity in aspects like Agility and Constitution for his evolution. It would not be too late to consume Source Energy and break through the limit once his other types of Divinity also reached the 10-point single-attribute cap.

Enhancing his Divinity in areas like Agility and Defense would likewise increase Shu Feng’s evolutionary potential and combat strength.

"I love it!"

Su Mi’s beautiful eyes lit up. She threw herself into Shu Feng’s arms and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek with a SMACK, her smile absolutely radiant. She possessed 10 points of Holy Soul, meaning she could still refine 4 more points of Divinity. Once she did, her power would soar once again.

The Beifeng Inn was located on the main route connecting the Great Song Empire to the Great Zhou Demon Country, and it was always bustling with travelers.

"Waiter, bring some wine!"

A stunningly beautiful young woman dressed in white stepped into the Beifeng Inn, immediately found a table, sat down, and called out.

The moment the beautiful young woman spoke, gazes like those of hungry wolves fell upon her, scrutinizing her with undisguised greed.

Every year, many lone outlaws from the Great Song Empire, hunted by the major sects with nowhere left to run, would flee to the Great Zhou Demon Country. Hiding within this very Beifeng Inn were several such outlaws of considerable strength.

But when the gazes of those lone outlaws fell upon the very ordinary-looking old servant standing behind the beautiful young woman, their greed subsided somewhat.

The Great Song Empire was filled with masters, and when the scions of powerful factions traveled the lands, they were often accompanied by experts from their clans.

For that beautiful young woman to have made it to the Beifeng Inn without being abducted, she either had to be incredibly experienced and powerful herself, or she had a strong protector in her corner.
