Divine-level Base-Chapter 70: Slaying the Evil Jade Horse

Ripples shimmered in the void as three Goblin Leaders suddenly materialized. Wielding spiked Pure Steel Wolf Fang Clubs, they viciously smashed them at the three residual shadows of the Evil Jade Horse.

"Demon Blade Claw!"

The real Evil Jade Horse frowned slightly. Demonic Qi surged as it swung its claws, unleashing two pitch-black Demon Blade Claws. They slashed into a Goblin Leader, slicing it in two and splattering blood everywhere.

The Demon Blade Claws continued onward, slashing at Shu Feng behind the Goblin Leader. They shattered his Protective Spiritual Power Membrane, tore through his underlying Chain Armor, and ripped a huge gash across his body. Blood gushed from the wound.

"Dizziness Technique!"

A Goblin Shaman behind Shu Feng, wielding a Magic Staff, pointed it at the Evil Jade Horse, and a hazy gray light enveloped the creature.

The Evil Jade Horse had just unleashed its Demon Blade Claw and was at its weakest. A sudden wave of Dizziness washed over it, and its body froze for an instant.

"Spider Web Technique!"

Another Goblin Shaman pointed, and a spider web shot directly toward the Evil Jade Horse.

"Shatter!"

The Evil Jade Horse recovered its senses in an instant. Its claws became a flurry of afterimages, shredding the spider web to pieces.

BANG!

A Demon-Breaking Bullet fired from the [Hei Ya] in Shu Feng’s hand, slamming into the Evil Jade Horse. A bloody, finger-sized hole appeared, from which wisps of black smoke continuously poured out.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Shu Feng retreated rapidly, firing frantically. He unhesitatingly emptied an entire magazine of Demon-Breaking Bullets, worth four million, into the Evil Jade Horse.

Twenty more bloody holes appeared on the Evil Jade Horse’s body. Black smoke and fresh blood gushed out as it trembled uncontrollably.

A savage light flashed in the Evil Jade Horse’s eyes as it roared, "Damn it! You bastard, you dare to wound me! Even in death, I’ll take you down with me!"

A Goblin Leader lunged forward and viciously smashed its club into the Evil Jade Horse, sending it flying over ten meters.

The King of Goblins stepped forward, swinging [Blood Butcher]. The axe descended in a flash of bloody light, cleanly severing the Evil Jade Horse’s head and sending a massive spray of blood into the air.

With the first strike successful, the Goblin King pressed its advantage, swinging [Blood Butcher] to hack off the Evil Jade Horse’s limbs one by one before kicking the torso aside.

The varieties of Void Demons are countless, and many possess bizarre, incomprehensible abilities. Some of the most terrifying ones can rapidly regenerate even if their heads are severed and their hearts are minced, making them utterly horrifying.

"Soul Power +50, Ghost Energy +7,000."

A notification prompt echoed in Shu Feng’s mind, confirming the Evil Jade Horse’s death.

’This Ghost-devouring Demon was really strong! I was almost killed!’

Shu Feng looked at the wound on his chest, a wave of fear washing over him. He took out a High-Level Rapid Healing Spiritual Mist and sprayed it on the injury.

A sharp pain instantly shot through the wound, and a large portion of Shu Feng’s Spiritual Power vanished. At the same time, the injury on his chest began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Sister You Meng, are you alright?"

Shu Feng went to You Meng’s side, helping her up as he asked with concern.

"Two of my ribs are broken! Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demons are as strong as they say!"

You Meng coughed, blood spurting from her mouth. She took out a [Recovery Pill] and swallowed it. A crisp cracking sound came from her body as she pushed herself to her feet.

You Meng was decisive. "Retreat! We have to report this to our superiors. A Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon has appeared. We need to request backup, or it will take the strength of our entire squad to handle this."

Normally, in a small, third- or fourth-tier city like Lei Jiang City, which holds little strategic value, it’s already a major incident for even a single Spirit Warrior-level Void Demon to show up and cause trouble.

Void Demons must pay a tremendous price to pass through the Heart of the World and descend upon Blue Star. For a Spirit Master-level Void Demon to appear in a small place like Lei Jiang City, there must be a major conspiracy underway.

"Okay!"

Shu Feng was just as decisive. He walked over to the Evil Jade Horse’s corpse and stored it in his Base Space. That was the body of a Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demon—not only a Genetic Source, but also prime material for creating Synthetic Warriors.

A fervent glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Ghost-devouring Demon, Shadow Demon, and Werewolf Demon... I’ve obtained three more top-level materials. The Ghost-devouring Demon, in particular, is a Spirit Master-level monster even stronger than the King of Goblins. Its evolutionary potential is far beyond anything the King of Goblins could ever hope to match.’

’The King of Goblins is the pinnacle of the Goblin Element’s evolutionary path. At its peak, it can only reach the Spirit Master Level, and it lacks any ranged attacks.’

’A Ghost-devouring Demon like the Evil Jade Horse, on the other hand, is fast, powerful, and possesses a mid-range attack like the Demon Blade Claw. If I can synthesize one, it will be an incredibly terrifying soldier.’

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Suddenly, a series of massive tremors shook Mulu Village. Buildings throughout the village collapsed as a blood-red pillar shot up from its center.

A blood-red ripple expanded outward from the pillar, sweeping across the area.

POP! POP! POP!

Within Mulu Village, the eyes of every Qidemon Cult believer—man or woman, young or old—turned red. Then, their heads exploded, transforming into streaks of blood-red light that were absorbed into the pillar.

Sixteen naked humans emerged from the center of the blood-red pillar. Their eyes were hollow and streamed blood, while transparent, phantom-like souls circled around their bodies.

Streams of blood-red mist spewed from the mouths of the sixteen humans, coalescing in the void to form a large, blood-red gate.

"A Void Demon Gate! Damn it, why would a Void Demon Gate appear here? What could possibly be in a small place like Lei Jiang City that would make a powerful figure from the Void Demon Realm pay such a high price to open a temporary gate? Shu Feng, retreat! We have to leave now! It’s too dangerous to stay here."

The color drained from You Meng’s face as she rapidly fell back.

Void Demon Gates cannot be opened just anywhere. They require specific locations and the performance of various special, large-scale rituals. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

For the demons, the price to open a Void Demon Gate in a place like Lei Jiang City was likely even greater than the loss of a Spirit Venerable-level Void Demon.

"Source Power detected! Source Power detected! Coordinates: E45, N72."

A series of prompts echoed continuously in Shu Feng’s mind.

’That direction... isn’t that where the Void Demon Gate is? Damn it. A fully established Void Demon Gate is not something I can deal with.’

Without a second thought, Shu Feng fled out of Mulu Village.

’The Void Demons paid a huge price to open that gate; they must be planning to transport a major figure. It would be a terrifying existence at the Spirit Sect level at the very least, perhaps even the Spirit Venerable Level. A Void Demon that powerful could, given enough time, crush all resistance in a small city like Lei Jiang City. Even the military would be easily annihilated.’
