Shu Feng’s expression was calm as he listened, but his fists suddenly clenched so tightly that drops of blood trickled from his steel-hard hands.

Shu Feng said slowly, "A Divine Spirit? One day, I will become an existence that surpasses even Divine Spirits."

"That’s the spirit! You’re my apprentice, all right. Come on, let’s go to the victory banquet!"

With a hearty laugh, Fang Yao pulled Shu Feng away from the Grand Martial Arts Arena.

Shu Feng had secured his victory in the National High School Spiritual Martial Arts Competition early on, so the victory banquet had already been prepared.

The assassination attempt on Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao by the Blood Demon expert in the Martial Arts Arena had also resulted in the tragic deaths of four prodigies from Spirit Mirror High School who were participating in the competition. The atmosphere at the victory banquet was consequently subdued.

As soon as the victory banquet ended, Shu Feng made an excuse to leave. He went to a seven-star luxury hotel in Azure Dragon Spirit City, got a presidential suite, and began to inspect his spoils from the battle.

’What is this? Could it be the legendary Blood of the Ancestor?’

With a thought, Shu Feng retrieved a Crystal Bottle from the Viscount Level Blood Demon’s Space Ring. Inside the transparent bottle was a single drop of Spirit Blood that glowed with a golden light and exuded an alluring aura.

The so-called Blood of the Ancestor was the Spirit Blood created by the Blood Demon Ancestor—the source of the Blood Demon Race’s bloodline and a terrifying existence who surpassed even Divine Spirits.

In the Void Demon Realm, where experts were as common as clouds, the Blood Demon Race’s Ancestor was a regional overlord. A single drop of Spirit Blood He created possessed the terrifying power to corrupt a Spirit Saint Powerhouse and transform them into one of the Blood Demon Race.

For the experts of the Blood Demon Race, the best way to continuously evolve was to absorb the Blood of the Ancestor bestowed by their Ancestor.

As for the Ancestor True Blood, that was blood taken directly from the Blood Demon Ancestor himself. It was incomparably precious; unless one was the Blood Demon Ancestor’s most favored descendant, it was impossible to obtain such precious blood.

A look of regret flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’This single drop of the Blood of the Ancestor is enough to drive countless big shots mad with desire, but unfortunately, it’s not very useful to me.’

There is great terror in the face of mortality, and countless human experts are unable to transcend their fear of death.

Spirit Saint Andrew of the Brentania Republic was one such example. His lifespan was nearly exhausted, and after using every life-extending treasure available, he had developed a resistance to them all. In the end, he fell from grace and defected to the Blood Demon Race, becoming the Blood Demon Grand Duke Andrew.

The former Guardian God of Blue Star thus became the planet’s greatest enemy. Innumerable experts died at the hands of Blood Demon Grand Duke Andrew.

Furthermore, Blood Demon Grand Duke Andrew had almost broken through the Void Demon Battlefield’s defensive line, which was guarded by the Brentania Republic.

If this drop of the Blood of the Ancestor, capable of transforming someone into a member of the Blood Demon or Ghost Races, were to appear on the black market, it would absolutely fetch a sky-high price at auction. Countless old monsters on their last breath would fight desperately for this single drop.

’What’s this?’

Shu Feng fished out a fist-sized piece of yellow amber from the Blood Race Viscount’s Space Ring.

"This is a World Source Embryo, an embryo left behind after a world has been conquered and destroyed. If it is fortunate enough to return to the Cosmic Origin Sea, it may give birth to a new world."

"This World Source Embryo can be used to cultivate a Dominator Source Embryo. Do you wish to begin cultivation?"

A line of prompts appeared in Shu Feng’s mind, making his eyes light up.

Within the Mysterious Base, Shu Feng was at the apex of the hierarchy. Below him were the Dominators, who held second-level authority.

Once the Mysterious Base’s Space evolved to a certain degree, it could split, consuming resources to create individual sub-bases. The Dominators with second-level authority could then take these sub-bases to different locations to develop them.

Normally, at his current Base Level, Shu Feng lacked the ability to cultivate a Dominator embryo. But now that he had a treasure like the World Source Embryo, the Base Space could cultivate a Dominator Source Embryo.

’Of course, cultivate it!!’

His eyes lit up, and he impatiently tossed the World Source Embryo into the Resource Dissolving Pool.

As soon as the World Source Embryo dropped into the Resource Dissolving Pool, it erupted with a dazzling radiance, locked in a stalemate with the pool’s dissolving power.

From the Energy Evolution Tower, countless transparent, sharp tentacles shot out, pierced through the World Source Embryo’s radiance, and stabbed into the embryo’s main body.

The World Source Embryo trembled slightly, its radiance flickering. It then flew out of the Resource Dissolving Pool and landed inside the Energy Evolution Tower.

Thick pipes emerged from the Energy Evolution Tower, spraying out endless streams of mucus to envelop the World Source Embryo.

Enveloped in the endless mucus, the World Source Embryo formed into a large egg. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Countless forms of mysterious energy, such as electrical energy and Source Energy, flowed through the pipes and into the large egg.

"Extract blood! Extract Spiritual Power!"

A snake-like tentacle appeared before Shu Feng.

Shu Feng held out his arm, and the snake-like tentacle viciously stabbed into his right arm, frantically drawing blood.

’Bastard, you’re taking so much!!’

Within the span of a few breaths, Shu Feng felt waves of Dizziness and couldn’t help but curse. Apparently, more than half the blood in his body had been drawn; only such a massive loss would make him, a Great Spirit Master with a monstrously tough Constitution, feel dizzy.

After the blood draw was complete, Shu Feng watched as countless resources vanished, clearly flowing into the large egg.

A mysterious and unfathomable embryo began to form within the large egg.

’The Blood of the Ancestor, the Blood of the Divine Spirit!!’

Shu Feng’s eyelid twitched. Seeing the Blood of the Ancestor and two drops of the Blood of the Divine Spirit being absorbed by the large egg made his heart ache. ’You consumed so many of my resources... you’d better be damn strong, or I’ll have taken a huge loss.’

After the Blood of the Divine Spirit vanished, numerous High-level Souls also disappeared, absorbed into the large egg. The sight made Shu Feng’s heart bleed.

A single High-level Soul, combined with enough Spiritual Power and the corpse of a Spirit Sect Realm powerhouse, could be used to refine a new Spirit Sect Realm expert.

Shu Feng had quite a few corpses of Spirit Sect Realm powerhouses on hand. If he could get several Spirit Sect Realm experts to act as his enforcers, he could rapidly expand his influence.

Shu Feng was now on the Void Demon Hunting List. As a precaution, he had already sent Elder Tie and Shu Yi back to protect his parents.

With Elder Tie, a Spirit Sect Realm powerhouse, standing guard, almost no one in a small place like Lei Jiang City could threaten his parents.

Shu Yi, a Great Spirit Master Level expert, was stationed at Shu Feng’s winery. He had dealt with the troublemakers who had their eyes on the incredibly profitable business, beating them so badly they wished they were dead.

Still, Shu Feng hoped to have more Spirit Sect Realm powerhouses under his command. That was the only way his influence could continue to expand, allowing him to acquire even more resources.
