Chapter 156 - 155: The Divine Spirit’s Arm
A crude elevator made of steel plates descended, and Shu Feng’s group rode it down, emerging into a spacious plaza.
The Steel Beast, having reverted to its first form, dropped to one knee as if paying homage to its king.
’They’re all dead! What a savage Summoned Beast!’
Zhao Zixing’s gaze swept across the area, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
The mutilated corpses of the Dark Night Church’s experts lay scattered about, evidently all killed by the Steel Beast.
Hassina looked at the Steel Beast, which was covered in gore and viscera. A flicker of dread crossed her beautiful eyes. "This Summoned Beast is truly terrifying!"
"Hassina, do you see this? This Blood Pool was built by the Dark Night Church for making sacrifices to the Evil God, the Lord of the Dark Night. To construct this pool, they had to slaughter at least ten thousand people. This is the truth behind the Dark Night Church."
Shu Feng said as he walked to the Blood Pool, pointing at the bloody bubbles that rose to the surface.
Hassina murmured in disbelief, "No, it’s impossible... How could this be? How could the Dark Night Church do something like this?"
Shu Feng waded into the pool of blood and placed his hand on its surface. A terrifying suction force erupted from his right palm, draining the pool of all its blood and pulling it into the Flesh Melting Furnace.
A line of information appeared: ’Blood containing Evil God’s Power +3,000 units.’
Shu Feng glanced at the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night and ordered, "Tear this statue down!"
The Steel Beast’s right arm trembled slightly, then transformed into a five-meter-long Steel Scythe. It swung the blade fiercely at the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night.
CLANG!
Strange ripples suddenly bloomed from the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night. The Steel Beast’s scythe struck the ripples and was instantly blocked with a deafening crash, its Steel Scythe shattering on impact.
The Steel Beast was thrown back by the terrifying recoil, its body trembling slightly.
’This Divine Statue is hiding such terrifying Extraordinary Power!’
Shu Feng’s expression changed, and he took several steps back.
But the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night remained perfectly still, as if the strange ripples had just been an illusion.
’Absorbable Source Power detected. Coordinates: E34, N45.’
A notification echoed repeatedly in Shu Feng’s mind.
’That’s the location of the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night. There’s Source Power there!’
Shu Feng’s eyes lit up. He strode over to the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night and placed a hand on it.
A mysterious and bizarre Extraordinary Power surged out from the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night and poured into Shu Feng’s body.
’Submit to me!! Serve me!! I will grant you power! Authority!! Longevity!! Beauties!!’
’Submit to me!...’
A series of strange, unfathomable whispers echoed in Shu Feng’s ears, trying to bewitch his mind.
Anyone with a weak will would immediately be ensnared upon hearing those strange whispers, becoming a disciple of the Lord of the Dark Night.
A flicker of confusion crossed Shu Feng’s eyes, but just then, the Divinity within him flared, restoring his clarity.
A mysterious channel opened, guiding the Extraordinary Power into the enigmatic Base Space.
Countless transparent, needle-like tentacles, invisible to the naked eye, extended from Shu Feng’s hand. They pierced into the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night and began to frantically extract the Source Power it contained.
’Divine Power +7,854, Source Power +6,674!’
A few breaths later, a notification sounded in Shu Feng’s mind.
CRACK!
With a crisp crack, the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night split open, covered in a web of fractures.
"Cut it down!"
At Shu Feng’s command, the Steel Beast’s right arm again transformed into a Steel Scythe and swung viciously at the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night.
BOOM!
With an earth-shattering boom, the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night instantly collapsed, shattering into pieces as it crashed to the ground.
From within the shattered Divine Statue, a hand fell out. It was as white as jade, like a flawless gem, and seemed to possess a strange Charm.
’This is the arm of a Divine Spirit!’
Shu Feng’s breath caught as he stared at the arm. It was white as jade, radiating a strange Charm that seemed capable of completely captivating anyone who saw it. He came to this conclusion instinctively. Only the arm of a Divine Spirit could possess such terrifying Power, its leaking Extraordinary Power alone capable of blocking the Steel Beast’s attack.
Shu Feng’s figure blurred, and he appeared before the arm, reaching out to touch it.
’Submit to me!!’
’Be my servant and swear your fealty to me. I will grant you authority, longevity, and Power!!’
’...’
A series of bizarre whispers echoed in Shu Feng’s ears as strange black threads spread throughout his body, corroding his flesh and soul.
Mortals cannot touch a Divine Spirit!
Even the residual Extraordinary Power in the arm of a dead Divine Spirit was still terrifyingly potent, easily capable of corrupting a mortal and turning them into the Divine Spirit’s most devout follower.
Just then, the Divinity within Shu Feng trembled. Spiritual Power surged through his body, and he snapped out of the Divine Power’s corrupting influence.
’Absorb it!’
With a thought from Shu Feng, the flawless arm, which exuded an endless Charm Power, was immediately pulled into the Flesh Melting Furnace.
The Flesh Melting Furnace flashed. The arm of the Divine Spirit was instantly broken down and converted into resources.
’Blood of the Divine Spirit +7 units, Divine Flesh and Blood Tissue +10 units, Dark Divinity +2, Source Power +15,000, Divine Power +120,984.’
A flash of excitement crossed Shu Feng’s eyes. ’I can’t believe I got so many precious resources! This was a huge score! It was well worth the risk of storming this place.’
The Dark Night Church was filled with experts. Ah Fei Fei, for instance, was at the Great Spirit Master Peak, or perhaps even the Spirit Sect Level.
Although the Steel Beast was powerful, its victory against Ah Fei Fei was uncertain. After all, this wasn’t the Badge World. On Blue Star, the Steel Beast could only exert about fifty percent of its full combat power.
And that was only because the Base Space had already analyzed most of Blue Star’s world laws and fine-tuned the Steel Beast accordingly.
If the Dark Night Church managed to deal with the Steel Beast, Shu Feng would lose his trump card, and his overall power would plummet.
A thought occurred to Shu Feng, and he asked internally, "Can I expend resources to allow the Steel Beast to unleash its full combat power on Blue Star?"
Currently, Shu Feng’s strongest trump card was the Steel Beast. He himself was no match for a Spirit Sect Realm expert. Camilla possessed the power to threaten a Spirit Sect Realm expert, but she couldn’t necessarily defeat one in a one-on-one fight.
