Chapter 807: 807 The First Gray Realm War: Full Territory Demonization Experiment
“You’ll draw them away alone?
Good heavens, you’re quite confident. Do you intend to fight seven by yourself?” Xia Feng mused internally, while simultaneously sending a mental message, “No need. Ten days is all it takes; we can wait.”
“Furthermore, it’s best not to expose our alliance too soon.”
“As you wish.” Huang Zhaoyue’s gaze returned to the spherical lightning, her expression serene.
Xia Feng also moved to his designated position, but it was at this moment that—
[Mu Qingtong has successfully integrated the forces of ‘Myriad Calamity Islands’, ‘Savage Islands’, and ‘Sin City Sky Island’, establishing the Star-Felling Alliance. While initiating a full-scale assault on the Sacred Star Court, she gained insights into war and death. You have successfully comprehended B-class Spirit Robe · Bronze War Drum.]
Xia Feng: “?”
The sudden information synchronization from the Calamity Demon Heart caught him off guard.
Due to the separation between the Sumeru Realm and the outside world, he couldn’t contact Miss Mu using Azure Bone Pursuit, so he had no idea of her recent activities.
He hadn’t expected that in less than a month, Miss Mu would already be stirring up trouble in the Gray Realm.
The Gray Realm was rife with cults, among which the God’s Calamity Society and the Sacred Star Court were the most powerful, each guarded by a Sage-level existence.
It wouldn’t be easy to conquer the Sacred Star Court.
[Using Myriad Calamity Islands as the No. 1 large-scale experiment base, the ‘Non-Calamity Path Demonization Experiment’ was conducted on millions of low-intelligence, lower-tier Nightmare Clan creatures. All ended in failure, with a death rate as high as 99%. However, Mu Qingtong’s research on demonized creatures yielded further enlightenment. In a flash of inspiration, you comprehended D-class Spirit Robe · Demonic Visage and N-class Spirit Robe · Demon Net.]
[N-class · Demon Net]
[Those who believe in the Demon God, upon using the Demon Net, can sense other believers of the Demon God in their vicinity.]
Xia Feng: “?”
How dare she, Miss Mu, at only the Venerable First Realm, proclaim herself a god?
No, that’s not the point. The point is that the title “Demon God” clearly belongs to an antagonist. The overwhelming sense of historical inevitability that Xia Feng felt before, as if an unstoppable force was rolling forward, returned once more.
[D-class · Demonic Visage]
[When wearing this mask and having learned the Demon Net, upon hearing the drumbeat of the Bronze War Drum, your overall strength will increase by 1%~1.5%.]
[B-class · Bronze War Drum]
[Qingtong Production, Must Be Quality Goods.]
[. To be used in conjunction with Demon-type Spirit Robes.]
“Demon-type… Spirit Robes?” Xia Feng’s heart leaped. He realized that Miss Mu had forged a completely new category of Spirit Robes, perhaps even an entirely unprecedented cultivation system.
Demon cultivation?
“Buzz—”
Amidst the thunderous clouds, nine individuals sat in a circle around the spherical lightning.
While receiving synchronized information from the Calamity Demon Heart, Xia Feng sat in the east, feigning efforts to break the formation.
These Super Geniuses appeared young, but by ordinary human standards, they were all over a thousand years old.
Excluding the mysterious Huang Zhaoyue, the Black Moon Pope was the oldest, an ancient monster who lived before the empire’s establishment. His participation in the Sumeru War could be considered somewhat of an unfair advantage.
However, there was nothing that could be done. Since the Black Moon Pope was willing to abandon his Light Holder cultivation and take the immense risk of retracing the path of a Venerable, it was within the game’s rules, and other major powers couldn’t object.
The youngest among them was Jin Yangtian. This individual was a God-tier Genius who appeared over a thousand years ago. After he repeatedly broke past records, all the forces of the empire were shocked, surpassing all contemporary geniuses for over a millennium.
Since the establishment of the empire, a total of seven individuals have been hailed as God-tier Geniuses.
However, in reality, three of these seven were reincarnations of powerful beings, not true legendary God-tier Geniuses.
Therefore, strictly speaking, there were only four God-tier Geniuses—Huang Zhaoyue was the first, and Jin Yangtian was the last.
But when Xia Feng remembered that Huang Zhaoyue was actually a juvenile True Dragon, he understood that there were only three true God-tier Geniuses among the human race.
In this light, the innate talent of God-tier Geniuses was indeed terrifying; three in ten thousand years was already the pinnacle for the human race.
Of course, above the pinnacle, there was one exceptionally special existence: the Pillar State Huang Ye, who stood in a league of his own.
Below the God-tier Geniuses were the Super Geniuses. The remaining six individuals fell into this category. Each super-large force would produce one to two Super Geniuses every thousand years, and the definition was quite broad, making it difficult for Xia Feng to discern their relative strengths.
However, judging solely by their formation-breaking speed, Tu Lin, that cultist, was surprisingly second only to Jin Yangtian, not falling too far behind. It seemed this person’s talent was indeed terrifying, no wonder the Destruction Star God took notice of him and made him his earthly proxy.
Following them, the remaining five Sacred Realm powerhouses were breaking the formation at roughly the same pace, chasing and vying with each other, but their progress was already significantly lagged behind Jin Yangtian and Huang Zhaoyue.
Xia Feng utilized his Pale White bloodline to pretend he was also breaking the formation, matching the pace of the latter five and avoiding drawing attention.
Two days passed like this, and finally, the synchronized information reappeared.
[The Gray Realm has no laws or morality, no gods or faith. This is a place where sin converges, a realm of widespread suffering, and the cradle of fear and war! Mu Qingtong used the first head-on battle between the Star-Felling Alliance and the Sacred Star Court as a breeding ground, initiating the ‘First War Demonization Experiment’—Your Strength has been amplified by 610T.]
[Current Strength Value: 25400T]
20,000T to 40,000T falls within the Venerable Realm range. He was currently at Venerable Second Realm in both Strength and Agility, but due to the constant amplification of strength by the Fate Rule · Tyranny, his Strength Value far exceeded his Agility.
Now, in the span of one day, Xia Feng’s Strength Value, which was already at the late stage of Venerable Second Realm, directly broke through into the Venerable Third Realm.
“Buzz—” Sweat broke out on his forehead. His entire body felt as if nourished by divine Spirit materials, signifying an overall sublimation at both the soul and physical levels.
Strength Value not only encompassed raw power, but also physical resilience, recovery ability, and defense—the first line of defense against external attacks. At a certain level, it became like the celestial god’s vasculature, forming its own small world, possessing a peculiar spirituality, where the soul could perish but the physical body would remain indestructible.
[On the battlefield, the most immense and concentrated fear of the Gray Realm gathers, and the desire for ‘life’ is most easily born. Mu Qingtong believed that only war could be the best experimental ground for creating demonized creatures. The results were as she expected. In this war involving millions of lives, the first stable demonized creature that would not self-destruct was finally born.
However, it was not a high-intelligence life form; its main body was merely a white Persian cat.]
Xia Feng could feel his Strength Value continuing to rise, though it was decreasing as time went on.
Fate · Tyranny was the first Fate Stone rule Miss Mu comprehended, and it was the most prone to collapse, occasionally causing issues that prevented Strength Value increases. Xia Feng had already grown accustomed to this.
What now commanded Xia Feng’s attention even more was that Persian cat.
During his previous two deaths and entries into the Nightmare River, Miss Mu had been conducting demonization experiments. The number of experimental attempts alone exceeded one hundred thousand, but all ended in failure.
Even if there were rare successes, such as enabling a stone to develop consciousness, it would collapse and die within minutes.
They simply couldn’t survive.
But now, the demonization experiment finally seemed to have made substantial progress!
