Yin Ten Dark One disappeared. In the vast Ancient Xiyi Civilization Ruins, only Andrea and five Spirit Sect Realm investigators from the White Eagle Sword remained.

Atop the Golden Altar stood Shu Feng, the Painter, and the Steel Beast.

Andrea stared intently at Shu Feng, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes as she spoke slowly. "Mr. Shu Feng, thank you very much for saving us. However, the remains of the West Asian God are a treasure the White Eagle Sword obtained through countless sacrifices. Please leave this place. The White Eagle Sword will compensate you with ten Top-grade Spirit Stones."

Shu Feng was a genius who had made it out of the Void Demon Hunting Ground alive. The terrifying killing intent radiating from the Steel Beast made even a Grandmaster of the White Eagle Sword like Andrea extremely wary.

"The remains of a Divine Spirit! There’s no way I’m giving them to someone else! You should be the ones to leave! If you dare to make a move against me, then you can all stay here forever. Not a single one of you will be leaving!"

Shu Feng’s gaze was indifferent as he glanced at Andrea and her group, then snapped his fingers.

The sexy and beautiful Hassina, dressed in a black combat suit, was instantly summoned. She appeared before the Golden Coffin and, with a powerful shove, pushed the lid open.

A terrifying wave of Divine Suppression surged out from the coffin, spreading in all directions. Inside, there was a Divine Leg.

The moment the Painter saw the Divine Leg, his eyes lit up with a brilliant glow. But when his gaze fell upon the Steel Beast, a look of apprehension flashed across his face. He wasn’t confident he could defeat the Steel Beast, which had already completed its Two-stage Transformation.

"Attack!! For the Brentania Republic!!"

A cold glint flashed in Andrea’s beautiful eyes as she shouted, furiously channeling her Spiritual Power and blasting a Thunder Eagle Strike directly at Shu Feng.

"Void Lock!!"

The frivolous-looking investigator, Moaido, sighed softly. A necklace on his chest materialized, glowing with a brilliant Spiritual Light, as countless mysterious Spirit Patterns appeared on his pair of white gloves.

One after another, transparent Void Chains materialized and shot toward Shu Feng, intending to bind him tightly.

"High-level Weakness!"

An investigator from the White Eagle Sword, holding a Magic Staff, quickly chanted an incantation and pointed at Shu Feng. A bizarre wave of magical fluctuations swept toward him.

The other four investigators from the White Eagle Sword also furiously channeled their Spiritual Power and opened fire on Shu Feng.

The Steel Beast’s right hand transformed into a Steel Shield, blocking the way in front of Shu Feng.

BOOM!

Andrea’s Thunder Eagle Strike slammed into the Steel Beast’s Steel Shield, pierced through it, then tore through the Steel Beast’s body before striking Shu Feng.

"Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique! Hundred Refinements Steel Body!"

The Membrane of Spiritual Power around Shu Feng’s body condensed into a Spirit Shield, and his body instantly transformed into the Hundred Refinements Steel Body, becoming as hard as steel.

The Thunder Eagle Strike slammed into the Spirit Shield, shattering it instantly. It continued onward to hit Shu Feng’s body, where it was finally broken apart by his Hundred Refinements Steel Body.

The moment the Thunder Eagle Strike shattered, countless bolts of Thunder Light erupted, wildly striking Shu Feng and leaving him numb from the electricity.

This was the strongest attack of Andrea, the "Thunder Eagle," a genius of the White Eagle Sword.

Bizarre chains emerged from the void and wrapped themselves around Shu Feng.

The advanced magic, High-level Weakness, also hit Shu Feng, making him feel waves of weakness.

Bullets infused with terrifying Spiritual Power slammed into the Steel Beast, blasting large holes in the body of the incredibly powerful creature.

The Steel Beast had to be in motion to display its terrifying power. In a state of passively taking hits like this, even a being as formidable as it could be injured by Spirit Sect Realm experts from the White Eagle Sword.

"A perfect chance!"

A cold glint flashed in the Painter’s eyes. He threw out a scroll, which transformed into a giant, ghostly hand that swatted viciously at Shu Feng’s head.

The Divine Research Association’s rule against members killing each other was worth nothing in the face of an Ancient God of West Asia’s remains. Besides, Shu Feng had only just joined the Divine Research Association, and there was no friendship between him and the Painter to begin with. Turning on each other was perfectly normal.

"It seems I’ve been too good-natured! So good-natured that you all think you can just bully me as you please!!"

Shu Feng gave a cold smile and waved his hand, causing faint ripples to appear.

One after another, Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles appeared in the void. A hundred of them materialized, completely blotting out the sky as they looked down, radiating an incredibly terrifying aura.

"This is bad!!"

When Andrea saw the hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles in the sky, a chilling sense of danger crept into her heart. She shouted, "Stop!! Shu Feng, we’re from the White Eagle Sword of the Brentania Republic! If you dare to kill us, the White Eagle Sword will hunt you to the ends of the earth!!"

"Go to hell!"

Shu Feng said icily.

The one hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles opened their mouths and spat out a hundred terrifying blasts of Dragon Breath. Like world-ending flames, the blasts shot directly toward the seven White Eagle Sword investigators below.

Andrea retreated explosively, a silvery-white Guardian Barrier appearing around her body. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The other six investigators from the White Eagle Sword also retreated rapidly as powerful Guardian Barriers materialized around them.

In just an instant, the seven White Eagle Sword investigators were engulfed by the hundred terrifying blasts of Dragon Breath. Their Guardian Barriers shattered one by one, and they were consumed by the Dragon Breath, screaming in agony as they burned.

The heavily injured Steel Beast spun around and slashed with its blade, instantly destroying the ghostly hand from the scroll.

Luna emerged directly from the void, holding a Fourth-Tier Spirit Sword. Like a bolt of lightning, she flew toward the Painter.

"Stop!! Shu Feng, we are both Elders of the Divine Research Association! We can’t kill each other!!"

The Painter’s expression changed drastically. He waved his hand, and a scroll flew out, transforming into countless vines that shot toward Luna to entangle her.

A cold light flashed in Luna’s beautiful eyes. She suddenly accelerated, her figure blurring and leaving a Residual Shadow in her place.

The countless vines pierced the Residual Shadow, hitting nothing but air.

In the next instant, Luna appeared behind the Painter, her sword running straight through his abdomen.

The Steel Beast also shot out a razor-sharp Steel Spear, piercing the Painter’s body. Countless bolts of Spiritual Ghost Thunder erupted, shattering the Painter’s resistance.

"Elders of the Elder Council cannot kill each other! So, from this day forward, you belong to me!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly and sent the Painter, along with the Steel Beast, into the Base Space.

Inside the Warrior Synthesis Nest, countless tentacles pierced the Painter’s body and began to frantically alter his genes. The Central Control Tower also started to release mysterious ripples, eroding the Painter’s soul.
