Yin Shida crushed more than a dozen Dragon Breath projectiles in a row, but he was finally struck by several more. The Void Demon Membrane surrounding his body erupted, shattering them one by one.

The moment those Dragon Breaths shattered, three more slammed into Yin Shida’s body. They exploded on impact, instantly engulfing him in flames and turning him into a human torch.

An eerie phantom flickered, and Yin Shida’s true form—a black shadow—shot out from his body. Trailing gusts of sinister wind, it fled into the distance.

Yin Shida was one of the powerful experts serving under the Void Demon, King You, and he hailed from the Nether Race. The experts of this race were masters of various Spirit Secret Techniques, specializing in the Soul Dao. They placed little importance on their physical bodies and could abandon them at will. Of course, unless they found a vessel of unparalleled talent, their own bodies were still preferable.

The moment Yin Shida abandoned his physical body, another terrifying volley of Dragon Breath descended from the sky, completely blanketing the direction his soul was trying to escape.

Yin Shida’s soul was struck by the Dragon Breath projectiles and instantly ignited. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his soul, now a living torch, fell to the ground and writhed in agony.

Volley after volley of Dragon Breath bombarded the flaming soul, burning with even greater intensity until the torch that was Yin Shida was completely reduced to ash.

Shu Feng watched as Yin Shida was burned to ash, a faint smile touching his lips. ’As expected of a Spirit Venerable Realm monster. It actually took four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles to kill him!’

Those four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles were Synthetic Beasts that Shu Feng had created by consuming immense amounts of Soul Power and Spiritual Power. Each one possessed the combat strength of a Spirit Sect Level expert. They were his hidden trump card on Blue Star.

Shu Feng was on the Void Demon Hunting List. In addition to the Void Demon Association, countless other factions like the Qidemon Cult wanted him dead. The four hundred Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles were the special present Shu Feng had prepared for them, but Yin Shida had been the first to receive it.

A notification chimed. "High-level Soul Power +1, Ghost Energy +2,000,000, Spiritual Power +1,000,000, Source Power +100."

A smile appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Excellent. I’ve obtained another point of High-level Soul Power!’

High-level Soul Power was an extremely precious resource. It could be combined with Source Power and other materials to synthesize a Synthetic Beast with combat power comparable to the Grandmaster Level. Alternatively, it could be infused directly into Shu Feng’s soul to strengthen it and enhance his Cultivation Talent.

CRACK!! CRACK!!

A series of crisp cracks echoed as countless fissures appeared on the Skeleton Bridge, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

Seeing this, a look of terror flashed in the eyes of every Ghost Demon Race expert on the bridge, and they charged forward in a frenzy.

The Steel Beast and several hundred Dragon Hunting Dogs blocked the bridgehead, tearing apart every Ghost Demon expert who managed to cross.

A continuous stream of notifications announced his gains in Soul Power.

"Source Power +10,000!"

BOOM!!

After Shu Feng successfully extracted 10,000 Source Power from the Skeleton Bridge, it completely shattered, its countless fragments plummeting into the endless darkness below.

The Ghost Demon experts on the bridge were torn to shreds by spatial turbulence the moment they plunged into the darkness.

Shu Feng watched the Skeleton Bridge collapse and muttered with dissatisfaction, ’Is that all? Seriously? Why can’t a few more show up?’

The countless Ghost Demon experts killed on the Skeleton Bridge had provided Shu Feng with a massive amount of Soul Power—enough to synthesize another thirty Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagles.

Moreover, the 10,000 Source Power he had extracted from the Skeleton Bridge could be used as Cultivation Resources.

Whether it was the Steel Beast, Camilla, Luna, Hassina, or Su Mi, they all required vast amounts of Source Energy for rapid evolution. No amount of it was ever enough.

On the other side of the endless darkness lay a vast plaza. In its center stood a five-hundred-meter-tall Bone Altar, constructed from the skeletons of countless sentient beings.

In front of the Bone Altar was a massive black hole. A Skeleton Bridge extended from the altar and into the black hole, with countless Nether Demon Warriors marching along its length.

CRACK!

A crisp cracking sound echoed as the Skeleton Bridge suddenly collapsed. The countless Nether Demon Warriors on it plummeted into the void fissure, where they were instantly torn to shreds by spatial turbulence.

"My Lord Earl! The space bridge has been destroyed! What are your orders?"

A Baron of the Ghost Demon Clan—a handsome man with deathly pale, bloodless skin that made him look like a corpse—approached a tall, blond, blue-eyed Void Demon Count clad in silver armor and delivered his report.

This blond, blue-eyed Void Demon Count was none other than Earl Yin Yiluo, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghost Demon Clan’s army.

"Activate ten more bridges. Have Earl Yin Jiuming, Earl Yin Jiu Jin, Earl Yin Bayin, and Earl Yin Bahai lead the charge. The Spirit Saints and Half-Saints of Blue Star have made no move. At most, we’ll only be facing some elite investigators from the White Eagle Sword and small fry from the Divine Research Association over there."

"With the four Earls joining forces, they can crush any opposition! As long as they succeed in establishing a bridgehead in that region of space, I will personally request a commendation for them from our Lord!" Yin Yiluo commanded decisively, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, My Lord Earl!"

Around the massive Bone Altar, warriors of the Ghost Demon Race swung their blades, slaughtering sentient beings of various races—humans, sub-humans, and beastmen—and tossed their corpses into the center of the altar.

Amid a churning vortex of blood-red light, ten Skeleton Bridges extended from the Bone Altar and plunged into the black hole.

’Huh! More of them appeared!!’

Within the Ancient Xiyi Civilization Ruins, Shu Feng’s eyes lit up with joy as he watched the ten new Skeleton Bridges appear. With a mere thought, he summoned three hundred Spirit Master Level Ghost-devouring Demons.

The Dragon Hunting Dogs possessed immense combat power, but a prolonged battle would still drain their physical strength. In a defensive fight like holding a bridgehead, it was essential to supplement them with some lower-level troops.

The appearance of the Ghost-devouring Demons would help conserve the Dragon Hunting Dogs’ stamina.

The Kings of Goblins, wielding heavy machine guns, frantically pulled their triggers. A mad hail of bullets swept across the Skeleton Bridges, slamming into the warriors of the Ghost Demon Race.

On each of the ten Skeleton Bridges, a Spirit Sect Level Ghostly Void Demon appeared. A ghostly light flickered around their bodies, forming a dense Nether Demon Mist. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The hail of bullets slammed into the Nether Demon Mist and was instantly disintegrated, unable to harm the Ghost Demon Race experts in the slightest.

SWOOSH!

Camilla suddenly appeared and fired a beam of black moonlight. It pierced through the Nether Demon Mist and instantly blew the head off a Spirit Sect Realm Level expert from the Ghost Demon Race.
