Marquis Yin Ye picked up a glass of fine wine, drained it in one gulp, and smiled faintly. "This battle yielded a fine harvest. We captured four hundred thousand slaves in one go! These guys are like weeds—no matter how many you kill, they just keep coming back. It’s fantastic! I’ll have plenty to play with for a long time."

Marquis Yin Liu said, "The Void Demon Celestial Pillar is almost complete! Those Blue Star People should be getting desperate!"

Marquis Yin Ning sneered, "It’s better if the Blue Star People get desperate. Only then will they crawl out of those turtle shells of theirs! Once they do, it will be the perfect time for us to strike."

A burning glint flashed in Marquis Yin Ye’s eyes. "This time, I will definitely slaughter one hundred thousand Blue Star People, earn great merit, and evolve into a Duke!"

"Haha, when the time comes, let’s have a competition to see who can slaughter more Blue Star People!"

Marquis Yin Liu gave a cruel smile. He reached out and grabbed a petite, sultry Human Race beauty, then snapped her arm and tossed her aside, watching as she screamed shrilly and struggled.

Seeing such a cruel scene, the faces of the beautiful women from all races in the great hall turned pale, and a look of terror flashed in everyone’s eyes.

"The screams of these lowly humans are quite amusing!"

Marquis Yin Ye smiled faintly, but the next moment, his eyes flew wide open. A flash of fury appeared in them as he roared, "Damn thief, how dare you steal my things!!"

With a flicker, Marquis Yin Ye transformed into a streak of light and shot toward his Lord’s Mansion.

Marquis Yin Liu smiled faintly. "Look at how frantic Yin Ye is. It seems his lair has been robbed."

Marquis Yin Ning chuckled. "He really was careless, never paying much mind to the defenses of his Lord’s Mansion. It’s only natural his lair was robbed. Come, let’s drink!"

The two Nether Demon Marquises continued to drink.

"Damn thief, how dare you make a move on my lair!!"

Marquis Yin Liu had just finished his third cup when his expression suddenly changed drastically. With a flicker, he too abandoned the army and flew toward his own Lord’s Mansion.

’This thief is really something! He wouldn’t dare make a move on my Lord’s Mansion, would he?’

A bad feeling welled up in Marquis Yin Ning’s heart, but he didn’t return to his own lair immediately. After all, there was an army of fifty thousand Nether Demons here that needed a commander. If he left, the army would be leaderless.

"Damned beast!! How dare you attack my Lord’s Mansion!!"

Fifteen minutes later, Marquis Yin Ning’s face twisted in fury. He transformed into a streak of black Demon Light and flew madly toward his Lord’s Mansion.

「Lord Yin Ye’s Mansion.」

A black light flashed, and Yin Ye appeared inside the Treasure Vault of his Lord’s Mansion. Staring at the completely empty vault, a flicker of rage crossed his eyes as he let out a bloodcurdling roar, "Damned beast!! You dared to steal my treasures! I’ll tear you to pieces!!"

Not long after, an equally bloodcurdling roar of fury echoed from Lord Yin Liu’s Mansion: "Damn thief, I will annihilate your entire clan."

「A quarter of an hour later.」

A furious howl also erupted from Lord Yin Ning’s Mansion: "Damned beast! How dare you destroy my Lord’s Mansion and steal my treasures! I will not rest until you are dead!!"

The three furious Nether Demon Marquises mobilized all their forces and began to search for Shu Feng’s whereabouts.

But Shu Feng had long since passed through the Shuttle Gate and returned to the Ancient Xiyi ruins on Blue Star.

’This was a huge haul. I actually got one hundred and thirty thousand Source Energy from the Treasure Vaults of those three Nether Demon Marquises!! I’m still tens of thousands short of five hundred thousand! But I should still use the Source Energy from this haul to increase my own strength. That way, I’ll have a better starting point when I enter the Black Tortoise Realm in the future.’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Shu Feng looked at the amount of Source Energy displayed in his Base Space, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a deeply satisfied smile.

With so much Source Energy gained in one go, Shu Feng’s true self could undergo a terrifying evolution. Furthermore, Camilla, Hassina, the Steel Beast, and Su Mi could all undergo a massive evolution as well.

Shu Feng glanced at the bottomless black hole and said slowly, "Andrea, I’m leaving the cleanup to you!"

Although Shu Feng had destroyed the Bone Altar, the gate to the Void Demon Battlefield that had been opened could not be closed. The Void Demon Clan could use this exit to continuously send troops into Blue Star.

This black hole would eventually connect with the Void Demon Battlefield World and evolve into a new Void Demon Battlefield, where countless powerhouses from the Blue Star Human Clan and Void Demon Powerhouses would fight to the death.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Andrea bowed to Shu Feng, stole a glance at Su Mi beside him, and said respectfully.

"Painter, when you return to the Divine Research Association, you know what to say, right?"

Shu Feng said nonchalantly, glancing at the Painter he had just released.

The Painter gave a wry smile. "Yes, Master! I will report to the Association that the Divine Leg of the Ancient God of West Asia has already been taken by someone else. You and I found nothing."

The Painter had also been captured alive and modified by Shu Feng. Even if he was resentful, he could not disobey Shu Feng’s commands.

"Chen Xue, sorry to keep you waiting. ’Thunder Eagle’ Andrea of the White Eagle Sword personally came out to warn us, so we have no choice but to leave."

As soon as Shu Feng returned to the hotel, he immediately apologized to Chen Xue.

Chen Xue gave Shu Feng a deep look, then suddenly broke into a smile. "If that’s the case, let’s go back!"

The two of them then left Outland Town.

「A villa deep in the mountains outside Lei Jiang City.」

With a thought, Shu Feng entered his Base Space.

"How many resources are needed to evolve the Steel Beast?"

"To evolve it again requires 50,000 Source Energy, 1 point of Divinity, 1 unit of Blood of the Divine Spirit, and 3 units of a Divine Spirit’s flesh and blood. Depending on the type of Divinity implanted, it will be strengthened in different ways!"

Shu Feng pondered for a moment before saying decisively, "Then implant 1 point of Power Divinity! The Steel Beast should stick to an evolutionary path of direct confrontation."

’Camilla is an archer and Luna is an Assassin. Their agility is very high, but their Defense Power is very weak. I want to create a few powerful Synthetic Beasts with formidable Defense Power, and the Steel Beast is one of them.’

From the Energy Evolution Tower, pipes shot out a massive amount of viscous fluid, completely enveloping the Steel Beast.

Su Mi hugged Shu Feng’s arm and said coquettishly, "I want 100,000 Source Energy, 1 point of Agile Divinity, and 10 units of Blood of the Divine Spirit to evolve."

"Alright!"

Shu Feng nodded, and a large amount of viscous fluid also shot out from the pipes, enveloping Su Mi and forming a large, mysterious egg.

’The resources are a bit tight!!’

Shu Feng glanced at Su Mi and the Steel Beast, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.
