Abyss Summoner

Nighttime.

Chen Feng and his party did not return to the camp. After all, the Chimera capable of spatial teleportation had been slain by him, losing their means of transport, leaving Chen Feng to find an opportunity to return slowly.

However, this was not something Chen Feng needed to worry about at the moment. For others, being in a strange environment would naturally evoke fear and despair.

But under Chen Feng’s command were a group of legendary warriors, so what was a mere wilderness? Chen Feng had even explored the Abyss personally, let alone this familiar territory of the human world.

For Chen Feng, the focus at this time was more on the belonging of the divinity!

Chen Feng spread open his palm, two gentle strands of light appeared on it. These lights seemed weak, but if one looked closely, staring too long would cause a burning sensation in the eyes.

This was the divinity of Mara, filled with the opposing party’s origin energy.

Once absorbed, it might even grant the abilities of [Hunt] and [Track], at which point, combat skills would expand to the strongest!

If so, Chen Feng’s strength might even approach Flora, which meant once this divinity was devoured, he could rival a Master of Fist.

This was simply a pie falling from the sky.

However... Chen Feng found himself unable to absorb it, not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t!

At this moment, Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness. Holding such a treasure in his hands, yet unable to utilize it. Neither Vecna’s Dharma Eye nor the current divinity could be fused unless he was half a step into the epic, otherwise, he might lose himself to such vast power and ultimately become a Fallen.

A legendary Fallen?

A Summoner turned Fallen?

A Fallen who owned an entire city?

If Chen Feng became a Fallen, the so-called destruction would not only target himself but the entire human world!

Chen Feng was different from an Inferior Demon. The latter was a pure mutant creature whose devouring ability had long been pushed to the extreme through elongated evolution, allowing it to completely merge even divinity without adverse effects. But Chen Feng was different, he lacked such experience and could only gradually wait for the day when his strength was sufficient.

So, should he just guard the treasure without using it and only utilize it when on the brink of advancement?

After pondering for a moment, Chen Feng shook his head. After the Mara incident, Chen Feng realized this land had long become unsettled.

Today, the believers of the Sun God appeared; tomorrow, there could be Mara massacring cities, so what about the day after tomorrow? Would there be even mightier beings eyeing this spot, preparing to descend or already having accomplished so?

Mara, one mere weak divinity, almost slaughtered a group of legendary warriors, so what about those even more terrifying Great Powers? Over the long span of time, who knows how many secret weapons they have, and it’s no exaggeration to say, pulling out a leg hair surpasses Chen Feng’s foundation.

If faced with a true epic powerhouse, not like Mara who temporarily boosted power through divinity, not like the aged and powerless Molten Giant Beasts, but at the peak of power, would he then only have the path to seek death?

After all, in the face of absolute power, so-called schemes are utterly impractical, akin to an egg striking a rock, shattering entirely upon contact.

Thus, in such circumstances, Chen Feng must enhance his power. Even if he can’t elevate himself, upgrading the strength of his summoned beasts is equally essential.

With this thought, Chen Feng began to summon. As a wave of scorching heat spread around, the figure of the Legendary Blazing Demon appeared before Chen Feng.

"Master..." In the Abyss, the Legendary Blazing Demon was a Demon Lord, but here it was merely a humble servant, so upon seeing Chen Feng, it knelt on one leg.

Chen Feng stared at the Legendary Blazing Demon. The opponent was already extremely powerful and had advanced further by fusing with the Molten Giant Beast’s blood plasma, nearing the epic level, fully capable of merging divinity.

However, such a treasure was extremely rare, and Chen Feng was reluctant to bestow it.

Yet to fend off potential dangers, this was a step that must be taken.

The Legendary Blazing Demon simultaneously noticed the divinity hovering in Chen Feng’s palm and began to breathe somewhat heavily, recalling it was the spoils of war gained after hunting Mara by the master.

It desired it!

Yes!

This sentiment required no concealment!

For the Legendary Blazing Demon, it was the shortcut to supreme power. Once devoured, its strength would leap into an unfamiliar and formidable realm.

However, akin to Wei Xun’s mentality, it was just a servant and did not dare ask Chen Feng for it, as such treasures would be tightly held by anyone, certainly not given away lightly.

"If I bestow the divinity upon you, what will you do?" Chen Feng gazed down at the Legendary Blazing Demon, uttering calmly.

Divinity?

For me?!

The Legendary Blazing Demon seemingly could not believe its ears, but as a legendary being, its hearing was sharp enough to detect the low hum of insects a dozen meters away, leaving no chance for misunderstanding. The master indeed said it was for me!

"I swear by the Abyss, if the master gives it to me, I will serve you loyally for eternity, and should I betray you, may I be cast into the Nether River, never to reincarnate!" The Legendary Blazing Demon declared, his voice trembling.

For a demon to swear by the Abyss was heavily symbolic, something the Legendary Blazing Demon would not do unless absolutely necessary. Yet what lay before him was a piece of divinity; once absorbed, he could step into a long-desired realm, his ultimate aspiration, thus willing to make such a vow to Chen Feng.

They already had a pact, and the Legendary Blazing Demon’s oath simply added an extra layer of protection. To strengthen his power, Chen Feng had no other choice. At this moment, he lifted his arm, allowing the divinity to drop onto the Blazing Demon’s body.

Everything ended in an instant.

The expression of the Legendary Blazing Demon was one of stupor, the recent events seemed to transpire in a flicker.

Even he himself wasn’t entirely clear on what had transpired, only sensing a strand of white radiance fall into him, and subsequently, his entire being underwent astounding changes.

It felt as if his mind had suddenly cleared, and many concepts he couldn’t comprehend before now appeared explicitly manageable, unexpectedly acquiring a wealth of combat skills.

"This..."

The Legendary Blazing Demon raised his arm in some disbelief, his eyes a bit vacant. He had never felt better, nor had he ever been so close to the epic!
