Chapter 347 - 346: Level 5 Base
Chapter 347 - 346: Level 5 Base
"Two Void Demon Dukes led an army of half a million to attack Mire Dragon Territory, but they were crushed by its lord, Shu Feng. One of the Void Demon Dukes was killed, the other escaped, and their army of 500,000 collapsed with innumerable casualties."
Soon, this explosive piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the Qianyuan Republic, shaking the entire nation to its core.
"Void Demon Dukes! Those are Spirit Saint Level experts! How could Shu Feng possibly defeat them?"
"A Void Demon Duke... That’s a terrifying powerhouse on par with the Five Great Spirit Saints. For Shu Feng to actually kill one is just unbelievable."
"That Shu Feng’s Summoned Beasts could actually take out a Void Demon Duke is just incredible."
"A great victory! This is a monumental victory! There’s still hope for the Human Race!"
"Looks like the Yuanhai Shu Family is about to rise."
"..."
The entire Qianyuan Republic was abuzz with excitement and discussion, and morale soared.
This was the first time a Void Demon Duke had fallen since the Void Demon army began its counteroffensive, and the feat had been accomplished by a mere Ninth-Grade Noble Family, the Yuanhai Shu Family. It was nothing short of a miracle. Throughout the Qianyuan Republic, everyone was ecstatic, and morale soared.
「In a study.」
’Shu Feng... that little pest is growing surprisingly fast, to the point where even I have to take him seriously. The thought of getting rid of him... has actually become a bit troublesome.’
A middle-aged man concealed in shadows frowned slightly as he read the intelligence report on Shu Feng, his fingers tapping gently on the table.
Within the Qianyuan Republic, an unknown number of geniuses and heroes had died silent deaths at the hands of this terrifying man.
In his eyes, even the Five Great Spirit Saints of the Qianyuan Republic were nothing more than pawns on a chessboard.
「Mire Dragon Territory, Lord’s Mansion.」
As soon as Shu Feng stepped into a heavily guarded secret chamber, he focused his thoughts and entered the Base Space.
"Source Energy +1,000!"
"Source Energy +5,000!"
’I’ve struck it rich!’
Shu Feng tossed the Source Energy-rich treasures he had plundered from the two Void Demon Dukes, eight Void Demon Marquises, over two hundred Void Demon Counts, and the other Void Demon Nobles into the Resource Dissolving Pool. A constant stream of notifications rang out, filling him with exhilaration.
Upgrading the base required Source Energy. Creating powerful, Top Level Synthetic Beasts required Source Energy. The evolution of Shu Feng, Su Mi, and the others also required Source Energy. Even fully subjugating the Void Demon Duke, Duke Lamata, required Source Energy. No matter how much he had, it was never enough.
"850,000 Source Energy!"
Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at the 850,000 Source Energy. He immediately commanded, "Use 200,000 Source Energy and 10 High-level Souls to evolve the base to a Level 5 Base."
The moment Shu Feng gave the command, the entire Base Space began to shake violently as a massive amount of Source Energy surged through it.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
A series of terrifying rumbles echoed from within the Base Space as it rapidly expanded, extending its boundaries by another ten kilometers.
Inside the Base Space, the various structures also grew in size. The Warrior Synthesis Nest swelled into a terrifying lair six thousand meters in diameter, now capable of synthesizing even larger Synthetic Beasts.
Amidst the squirming of fleshy tendrils within the Base Space, an ancient well one hundred meters in diameter appeared. It was constructed from countless tissues of flesh and blood and was inscribed with innumerable arcane runes.
Seven days later, the base’s evolution was finally complete.
"Level 5 Base evolution complete. Next evolution requires 5,000,000 Source Energy, or 2,000,000 Source Energy and 10 units of Holy Soul."
"Well of Souls: Can consume Source Energy to perform soul fusion and refine souls of higher quality."
Shu Feng’s eyes lit up with excitement. ’What a treasure! With the Well of Souls, I can continuously synthesize higher-grade souls and create Grandmaster or even Spirit Venerable Level Synthetic Beasts!’
At Level 4, the Base Space could only mass-produce Spirit Sect Level Synthetic Beasts like the Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles and Swamp Three-headed Serpents.
Only with the Well of Souls could Shu Feng obtain higher-quality souls to synthesize higher-level Synthetic Beasts.
Furthermore, by obtaining a vast number of High-level Souls, Shu Feng could also raise the evolutionary potential of Camilla and Hassina, making them even more powerful.
A fervent glint appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes as he asked curiously, "With my current Soul Resources, how many units of Holy Soul can I synthesize?"
"Your current Soul Resources can be synthesized into 500 High-level Souls or 1 unit of Holy Soul."
Shu Feng frowned slightly. ’Holy Souls really are precious. I killed at least two hundred thousand Void Demon Warriors, and that’s only enough to synthesize a single unit of Holy Soul. Creating a Spirit Saint Level expert is going to be tough!’
With his current gene library, Shu Feng could already synthesize a Spirit Saint Level Synthetic Beast. However, it would require 1,000,000 Source Energy and 10 units of Holy Soul. Creating one in a single step was still somewhat unrealistic for him.
Shu Feng commanded, "Completely subjugate Lamata!"
"Expend 50,000 Source Energy to control the Void Demon Duke, Lamata?"
’Back when it was a Level 4 Base, it would have cost 100,000 Source Energy to subjugate Lamata. Now it only costs 50,000. It looks like the base’s Power increases with each level.’
Shu Feng mused for a moment, then commanded, "Expend the Source Energy. Control Lamata!"
Within the Warrior Synthesis Nest, countless transparent tentacles plunged into Lamata’s body. A massive amount of Source Energy flooded in, frantically altering his body and soul.
One after another, mysterious soul phantoms surged from the Well of Souls, transforming into streams of light that forced their way into Lamata’s mouth.
A look of pain and anguish flashed in Lamata’s eyes as his body trembled uncontrollably. The light gradually faded from his gaze, replaced by a look of utter subservience, as if the life had been drained from him.
An hour later, the Void Demon Duke Lamata was fully subjugated by the Base Space, becoming Shu Feng’s slave completely.
"Greetings, Master!"
The Void Demon Duke, Lamata, walked out of the Warrior Synthesis Nest. The arrogant defiance in his eyes was completely gone as he lowered his head toward Shu Feng and spoke with the utmost respect.
Shu Feng watched as the Void Demon Duke, Lamata, lowered his head and bowed respectfully. A brilliant light shone in his eyes. ’A Void Demon Duke! A Void Demon Duke is actually calling me Master! This feeling... it’s incredible!’
A Void Demon Duke was a Spirit Saint Level expert, an immensely powerful figure on the same level as the Four Extremes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao or the Primordial Daoist Sect Leader Ji Yuanshi.
For such a major figure to be Shu Feng’s servant... if word of this got out, Shu Feng’s status in the Qianyuan Republic would skyrocket, placing him on the same level as great figures like the Four Extremes Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao.
