Wu Yuexia quickly composed herself and asked, "Can Tang Ming and I join your team?"

The fruit of the Flame Phoenix Tree was a rare Celestial-level Secret Treasure. It could grant someone the Phoenix Bloodline, causing their cultivation talent to skyrocket. Shu Feng naturally couldn’t miss out on such a Celestial-level Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

Wu Yuexia knew she could never compete with Shu Feng. However, both she and Tang Ming were badly injured, and staying by Shu Feng’s side was the only way to guarantee their safety.

Shu Feng said, "Of course."

Wu Yuexia and Tang Ming were both high-ranking members of the Heart of Steel. Gaining their friendship would be a good thing for Shu Feng as well.

Once Wu Yuexia and Tang Ming joined Shu Feng’s team, they rested by his side.

Shu Feng, however, seemed to have a map hack. He hunted all around Phoenix Mountain, killing dozens of powerful Void Demon Hunters from the Void Demon Realm in a single day. This was a real eye-opener for Wu Yuexia and Tang Ming.

In the evening, after everyone enjoyed a comfortable dinner, Shu Feng went into a cliff face alone and directly entered his Base Space.

’Top-grade Demon Stones!! A bunch of paupers! Why aren’t there any treasures that can be refined into Source Energy?’

Shu Feng rummaged through the Space Rings of the Void Demon Hunters, taking out the treasures one by one to inspect them.

Countless Secret Treasures and resources that would have caused a frenzy on Blue Star were casually tossed aside by Shu Feng.

"Source Energy +500!"

"Source Energy +400!"

Shu Feng tossed two black stones from a Void Demon Viscount’s Space Ring into the Resource Dissolving Pool and obtained 900 Source Energy.

’Giant God Unrivaled’s Space Ring. I hope there’s some good loot inside.’

Shu Feng’s immense Spirit swept over Giant God Unrivaled’s Space Ring. His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. With a thought, a yellow gemstone appeared in his hand.

"Divinity discovered. Refine?"

"Yes!"

Shu Feng directly tossed the yellow gemstone into the Resource Dissolving Pool.

SSSZZZ!

A soft sound came from the Resource Dissolving Pool.

"Power Divinity +1!"

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up. "I finally got more Divinity! How much Source Energy does it cost to implant the Power Divinity?"

Every point of Divinity implanted would cause Shu Feng’s physical attributes to skyrocket, and his potential would also increase by a huge margin. Of course, the resources required to implant one point of Divinity were also immense.

"Implanting 1 point of Power Divinity costs 3,000 Source Energy. A major, one-time body enhancement for the host costs 5,000 Source Energy and 1 unit of a High-level Soul."

Shu Feng asked curiously, "How long will the evolution take to complete?"

"8 hours!"

After the Base Space evolved into a Level 4 Base, the capabilities of its various facilities had been significantly upgraded.

Shu Feng said decisively, "Let me evolve!"

Through continuous evolution, the originally weak Shu Feng had evolved into a being with combat power comparable to a Spirit Sect Realm expert. However, his main body’s strength was still far inferior to monsters like Giant God Unrivaled, Zhu Yeying, and Eight-Eyed Kuang. Shu Feng would absolutely not miss an opportunity to drastically improve his main body’s power.

Countless strange fluids shot out from the Energy Evolution Tower, enveloping Shu Feng’s body, wrapping him up completely to form a large, mysterious egg.

A transparent, humanoid High-level Soul shot out from a pipe and surged into Shu Feng’s body.

Shu Feng instantly felt his soul begin to undergo a mysterious transformation and evolution, inch by inch.

A point of golden light, the Divinity, emerged from a channel and sank into Shu Feng’s body. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

An intense pain surged from Shu Feng’s body. His soul was in agony, as if it could shatter at any moment.

Everyone had a limit to how much of a terrifying power like Divinity, which contained the Power of Law, they could withstand. Shu Feng already possessed 2 points of Divinity, which was already terrifyingly high. He shouldn’t have been able to withstand a third point.

Just then, an immense amount of Source Energy surged madly into Shu Feng’s body, strengthening and remodeling his flesh and soul. It allowed the point of golden Power Divinity to merge with his other point of Power Divinity.

「Eight hours later.」

CRACK!

Shu Feng stepped out of the egg, his eyes glinting. With a thought, a panel of information immediately appeared.

"Shu Feng."

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity 2/2, Defense Divinity 1/1."

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Power Performance +100%, Defense Enhancement +50%, Divine Resistance +3, Immune to Mid-level Lethal Spells!"

"Power 248 (+50), Agility 201 (+20), Defense 315 (+30), Constitution 280 (+30), Intelligence 285 (+30), Spirit 330 (+50), Magic Power 2,000,000 (+500,000), Fighting Spirit 0, Badge Power 1,320,000."

"Charm 225 (+30), Spiritual Power 2,000,000 (+500,000), High-level Soul Power 2 units."

Shu Feng looked at his physical stats, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. ’With my current physical attributes, even without using Spiritual Power, my combat strength is comparable to an ordinary Spirit Sect Realm expert.’

’As for High-level Soul Power!’

With a thought, Shu Feng left the Base Space and appeared on top of a small hill in the valley.

’High-level Soul Power makes my perception of Spiritual Power more acute. In other words, my Cultivation Talent has improved, and my cultivation speed has become faster.’

’Judging from my hunts so far, only Void Demons of Count Level or higher yield High-level Souls. This means that from the Spirit Sect Realm to the Spirit Venerable Realm, the soul undergoes a deep transformation and evolution.’

’Does this mean my soul has entered the Spirit Venerable Realm, but my physical body and Spiritual Power haven’t completed their transformation yet?’ Shu Feng speculated.

In fact, Shu Feng’s physical attributes already surpassed those of many Spirit Venerable Realm experts of the Human Race. After all, the physical constitution of humans was generally weaker. The only part of him that had yet to transform was his Spiritual Power.

’I’ve found prey!’

Shu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. His figure flickered and vanished.

「Near Phoenix Mountain in the Profound Jade Mountain Range.」

A Werewolf Demon with a wolf’s head and a human body, dressed in black and concealing its aura, stood atop a large tree. It gazed at the distant Flame Phoenix Tree, its eyes glinting with fervor.

’I have to find a way to snatch one or two of those Flame Phoenix Fruits! If I sell them to the Phoenix Demon Race, they’ll fetch a sky-high price!!’

A burning light flashed in the Werewolf Demon’s eyes. Hidden silently behind it were two Hunting Dogs.

A residual shadow flickered faintly, and the Steel Beast appeared like a bolt of lightning. Its right hand transformed into a giant Steel Scythe and slashed directly at the Werewolf Demon.

"Ambush!"

The Werewolf Demon was also a highly vigilant Spirit Sect Realm Level expert. It immediately swiped a claw backward.

A flash of blade light, and the Werewolf Demon was instantly sliced in two by the Steel Beast’s blade, falling from the tree.

BANG! BANG!

Two gunshots rang out, and the heads of the two Hunting Dogs were blown apart.
