Shu Feng’s eyes lit up. "Phoenix Bloodline? As expected of a legendary Celestial-level Treasure of Heaven and Earth."

The top Noble Families and Clans consistently produced generation after generation of powerful experts and outstanding talents. This was partly because their ancestors possessed terrifying strength, which they inscribed into their bloodlines to be passed down through the ages.

Li Xuan Yi’s Void’s Eye was his bloodline power.

The Phoenix Bloodline was one of the most powerful bloodlines in existence. If someone were to possess it, even a complete weakling, experts from the Noble Families would undoubtedly seek them out. They would turn him into a prized stud, living a life of nightly revelry to sire heirs and continue the bloodline.

After a moment of contemplation, Shu Feng immediately said, "I’m willing to go to the Void Demon Hunting Ground!"

Shu Feng possessed the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring, a Legendary Level Secret Treasure, which gave him an almost unbeatable advantage from the start. Furthermore, with the protection of powerful experts like the Blood Dominator Su Mi, the Steel Beast, Camilla, and Hassina, he stood a fighting chance even against a Grandmaster Level powerhouse in the Void Demon Hunting Ground.

The Hunting King’s Void Demon Hunting Ground opened only once every twenty years. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait another two decades to enter.

Fang Yao raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? It’s called the Void Demon Hunting Ground for a reason. The place is saturated with the potent Power of Void Demon. Experts from the Void Demon Clan are like fish in water there—they face no restrictions and, in fact, become even stronger!"

The Void Demons that descended upon Blue Star and other worlds had, in fact, already been weakened by those worlds’ Hearts of the World. Otherwise, the gravely injured Blood Race Grand Duke, Balao Na, wouldn’t have been so easily devoured and absorbed by the Blood Dominator, Su Mi.

The Void Demon Hunting Ground was saturated with the Power of Void Demon, creating an environment similar to the Erosion Realm. This allowed experts of the Void Demon Clan to unleash one hundred percent of their combat strength. Moreover, the ones who went there were invariably the battle-hungry elites and geniuses of the Void Demon Clan; none of them were simple opponents.

The Void Demon Clan was a terrifying, dominant race that had suppressed and annexed countless other races. Those willing to venture into the Void Demon Hunting Ground to hunt experts from other races were the absolute geniuses of the Void Demon Clan, all of them unbelievably powerful. On top of that, some Spirit Venerable Level experts from the Void Demon Realm who enjoyed the thrill of the hunt would also enter the hunting ground to amuse themselves by preying on the geniuses of other races. To enter the Void Demon Hunting Ground was to face a near-certain death.

While it was true that Spirit Saint Realm geniuses like Wu Zhongchao and Ji Yuanshi had returned from the Void Demon Hunting Ground covered in glory, over ninety-five percent of the geniuses who entered alongside them had perished, becoming nothing more than prey for the Void Demon prodigies.

Shu Feng said, "I’ve made up my mind."

A flash of admiration appeared in Fang Yao’s eyes. "Good! Come back here in ten days. If you have any requests, as long as they aren’t too outrageous, just name them!"

Shu Feng said, "Master, please look after my parents and relatives."

Shu Feng was already on the Void Demon Hunting List, meaning there was a high price on his head. He had dispatched experts like Elder Tie, Shu Yi, and Adnan to protect his family in secret, but he still felt it wasn’t secure enough.

Fang Yao said, "Don’t worry, I will do my best to protect them. Besides, you have nothing to fear. Once word gets out that you’ve entered the Void Demon Hunting Ground, those people from the Void Demon Association will back off. After all, for every ten people who enter the hunting ground, nine come back as corpses."

「Ten days passed in a flash.」

Over four hundred people stood inside the teleportation hall of Azure Dragon Spirit City, and every single one of them had an extraordinary air. These were the experts gathered from all over the Qianyuan Republic and the territories of the major Noble Families and Clans.

If they could retrieve the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass and save Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao’s life, he would owe them a life debt. For any faction, that was the equivalent of gaining an incredibly powerful trump card.

"Shui Lingyan, what are you doing here?"

The moment Shu Feng entered the teleportation hall, he spotted Shui Lingyan and the experts from Celestial Sword, who seemed somewhat out of place among the crowd.

Celestial Sword was an elite unit under the Guardian Flame, responsible for suppressing Void Demons and all manner of illegal Spiritualists within the Qianyuan Republic. They had slain countless law-breaking experts, which naturally made the Spirit Sect Realm powerhouses from the various Noble Families wary, and they were subtly ostracized as a result.

"Shu Feng, what are you doing here? You’re going into the Void Demon Hunting Ground too? Are you insane?"

The moment Shui Lingyan saw Shu Feng, her brows knitted together. In a low voice, she said, "You have to understand, the Void Demon Hunting Ground is crawling with experts. There are plenty of powerhouses on par with the Blood Demon, Xue Honghong, and even many from the Void Demon Race who surpass her. Going in there is just throwing your life away."

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Sister Lingyan, don’t worry. I might not be the best at killing my enemies, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve for staying alive."

"Let me introduce you to a few of my friends! This big guy is Xu Sheng."

Shui Lingyan pointed to a ferocious-looking man who stood about seven-foot-two.

Shu Feng said, "Brother Xu, it’s good to meet you."

Xu Sheng gave Shu Feng a slight nod.

"This four-eyes is Jiang Feng, a Mage!"

Shui Lingyan said, pointing to a handsome, scholarly-looking man with glasses.

Shu Feng said, "Brother Jiang, nice to meet you."

"Shu Feng, even with a Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability, it’s still too dangerous to enter the Void Demon Hunting Ground. At least a thousand Heaven-level Spirit Ability Users have died in there, and many of them had reached the Grandmaster Level."

"Just as our Human Race has Heaven-level Spirit Ability Users, the Void Demon Clan has its own top experts with Royal, Divine-level, and Golden Bloodlines. Those guys are no weaker than our best."

"You should wait until you reach the Grandmaster Realm before you even consider going to the Void Demon Hunting Ground!"

Jiang Feng adjusted his glasses, his expression grave as he offered his advice.

The Void Demon Clan had annexed countless worlds, and the Void Demon Realm concealed untold numbers of terrifying monsters—beings comparable to, or even surpassing, Divine Spirits. The descendants of those creatures were just as fearsome.

The reason the Void Demon Hunting Ground was called a "hunting ground," and why it was open to the prodigies of many worlds within the Erosion Realm, was simple: in that place, the top geniuses of the Void Demon’s younger generation were the hunters, and everyone else was the prey.

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Thank you for the warning, Brother Jiang, but I still have to go to the Void Demon Hunting Ground."

’Within the Qianyuan Republic, all the resources are controlled by the major Noble Families and Clans. If I want to grow stronger quickly, my only options are to expand into the Erosion Realm or head to the Void Demon Battlefield to earn merits and trade them for resources.’

’But if I go to the Void Demon Battlefield, military orders are absolute. I’d have to obey every command from my superiors without question.’

’Ever since I got that territory in the Erosion Realm, countless people have wanted to kill me and take it for themselves. After all, my own strength is still lacking, and I don’t have a deep foundation.’
