Abyss Summoner

Chapter 505 - 493: Devouring Will

Chen Feng was about to do something quite insane, which was to absorb the Power of the Soul of the Blazing Demon imprinted in this Divine Artifact. Since he couldn’t erase it, he decided to do the opposite and integrate it into his own body, creating an illusion that the sword itself was a Blazing Demon.

Therefore, he had ordered people to cool the temperature at the door because he knew better than anyone how dangerous this was. A slight mistake could turn the entire ship into a sea of fire.

He took a deep breath.

Chen Feng adjusted his breathing to the optimal state. Then, he reached out his hand, slowly approaching the Sub-divine Artifact.

[Heat]

As he drew nearer, Chen Feng felt a scorching heat. Even though his specialty was flame, his fire resistance was still several levels below this temperature.

Chen Feng did not grip the sword directly because he knew that holding the blade for just a minute could severely injure him. His sole purpose now was to get close to the blade to absorb the willpower of the Blazing Demon.

Chen Feng’s body gradually transformed until he became a Demon with horns and wings, then stopped.

He closed his eyes.

Chen Feng did not feel darkness; instead, there was a presence before him like a fireball. Controlling his power, he began to draw the energy in front of him towards himself, like a magnet.

The fireball slowly melted, and the liquid that was supposed to fall strangely flowed into Chen Feng’s body. The heat comparable to lava surged into him, causing him to grunt and endure the pain.

Of course, this wasn’t entirely bad. As the hot flow gathered throughout his body, the flames within him flared up like gasoline, swiftly engulfing the heat completely.

Devour.

Chen Feng might not have the magical abilities of an Inferior Demon, but he was very attuned to fire elements. With the body of a Blazing Demon, he could naturally absorb flames to enhance his physical strength.

This method proved very effective. Chen Feng could distinctly feel the power belonging to the Blazing Demon being gradually devoured by him.

But just as Chen Feng tried to continue, his body trembled. Then, he realized that the [fireball] in front of him had become agitated. Suddenly, a heat flow ten times more intense than before surged into his body. When this heat appeared, it didn’t disperse but rippled, and soon, a flaming figure resembling the Blazing Demon stood straight before him.

As a legend, the Blazing Demon must have some cards to survive in the Abyss.

...The flames took form!

Undoubtedly, when the Blazing Demon left its mark, it added some contingencies. When its energy faced danger, it would solidify to keep the sword safe.

This wasn’t a mere projection but a kind of instinctual protection.

At this moment, the formed Blazing Demon roared like a frenzied beast, rampaging within Chen Feng’s body. The hot flow transforming from the Blazing Demon exhibited the original’s brutality and madness, attempting to destroy everything in its path. If it succeeded, the consequences would be dire.

If the Blazing Demon projection descended, Chen Feng might indeed have feared it. But this was just a body formed of energy, which didn’t frighten Chen Feng in the least. Instead, the flames within his consciousness began to gather, and soon, a beast-like creature with a beast’s head appeared before the Blazing Demon.

Humanoid form was unsuitable for battle.

Since it was a battle of consciousness, Chen Feng transformed into a form most suited for fighting.

Hellhound.

Chen Feng closed his eyes tightly. This existence that, in an apocalypse, became his first stepping stone didn’t even have a chance to unleash a fraction of its potential before being smashed to death by Chen Feng with a shovel.

He remembered vividly, in reality, causing untold bloodshed, a lonely and terrifying figure slowly appeared before him. It had a massive body, sharp limbs, lethal teeth, and a merciless gaze that looked down upon life.

This very monster rampaged through the city, killing everything in its path, amassing a horde of mutated beasts early on, and truly becoming a Beast King.

The world often said Chen Feng was brutal and ruthless, exterminating enemies without giving them a second chance. But who would have thought that this man, whom some wished to tear apart and devour, ended the potential for future massacres early on?

Killing beasts, exterminating bugs, slaughtering devils, Chen Feng never explained to anyone because his path was always stained with blood. As before, anyone opposing him would vanish into thin air, just as it was now!

In his consciousness, Chen Feng looked at the Blazing Demon with disdain. Not long ago, despite the enemy’s projection, he was unscathed and even took his cherished sword. Now, a mere wisp of will from the blade thought to devour him—what a daydream!

"Bang!"

At this moment, the flames in Chen Feng’s consciousness finally solidified, taking the form of the Hellhound—a truly terrifying behemoth.

Compared to humans, the form of beasts was more suitable for battle because their very existence was meant for hunting and killing.

Chen Feng never liked waiting in strict defense; for him, attack was the best defense.

"Awoo..."

The Hellhound, manifested from flames, roared. Though silent, it exuded an extraordinary aura. It leaped forward fiercely, pouncing the Blazing Demon to the ground in one swift motion.

The Hellhound bit down with ferocity, its terrifying jaws clamping onto the neck of the Blazing Demon. Instantly, scorching flames erupted everywhere, but this was far from over. The Hellhound’s right paw exerted force simultaneously, piercing the Blazing Demon’s body, preventing it from reforming as before.

"Pfft!"

The battle was far from over. Just as the Hellhound was biting down, the Blazing Demon’s severed arm transformed once more, becoming a Longsword. It closely resembled that Sub-divine Artifact, taking its chance to swing the Longsword and slice the Hellhound in half!

Flames scattered everywhere.

What the Blazing Demon severed wasn’t just any Hellhound; it was like a gushing volcano. The flowing magma permeated Chen Feng’s consciousness instantly.

His breathing was disordered, and Chen Feng’s forehead began to sweat, but the situation hadn’t reached its limits. In fact, all of this was still within his plan.

The Hellhound was sliced in half, yet its fierce nature remained astonishing. It lunged forward once more, clutching the Blazing Demon’s body tightly. Soon, the surrounding magma inched towards the Blazing Demon, slowly enveloping it, leaving no gap whatsoever.

"Break for me!"

The Blazing Demon was still holding on, but Chen Feng gathered all the power within him. The magma began to boil, as if it intended to melt the Blazing Demon into liquid completely!

The Blazing Demon was putting up its final resistance, swinging its sword madly in the magma, seeking a way to survive. But things went awry; Chen Feng’s power surrounded it on all sides. Even if it escaped once, the next second, it would be enveloped by another wave of magma.

Slowly, signs of melting appeared on the Blazing Demon’s body, starting with the sword in its hand, then its limbs and chest. Eventually, even the head, radiating immense resentment though silent, fully melted into the magma.

The Blazing Demon’s energy was like an accelerant. The once calm magma began to ripple, followed by bubbles appearing in Chen Feng’s consciousness; his power... was boiling!

Chen Feng opened his eyes once more.

In an instant, a golden light flashed. His body temperature had soared past hundreds of degrees at this moment. If an ordinary person touched him, their hand would immediately blister.

Heat flowed slowly outside the door. A few professionals were still exerting their powers, but suddenly, white smoke rose at the entrance. The iron door, once covered in frost, turned bright red. Exchanging glances, panic was evident in their eyes.

But during this special period, Chen Feng had long warned them: no matter what happens, ensure the heat wave does not spill outside. They deeply understood Chen Feng’s character and gritted their teeth, transforming the last of their strength into frost, covering the iron door completely.

They had exhausted all their power and could only hope Chen Feng would finish the engulfing soon. Otherwise, in the worst-case scenario, they would have no choice but to abandon ship.

At this moment, Chen Feng was focused intently, his gaze entirely replaced by the Longsword before him. The next second, he grasped the hilt without hesitation, and a wave of unbearable pain shot through his palm.

Chen Feng inhaled sharply. He could clearly feel the Blazing Demon’s strength at play, trying to push him away and prevent him from wielding the Longsword.

Chen Feng was only a Golden Tier. It was practically impossible to eradicate the Blazing Demon’s consciousness in one go. The earlier engulfing barely consumed a tenth of its power.

"Did I fail?"

Just as Chen Feng furrowed his brows and was about to release the hilt, he suddenly felt the temperature in his palm dissipate somewhat.

The Undead Mage was not wrong!

The weapon had no intellect. Because of the Blazing Demon’s power, it mistakenly identified Chen Feng as its master, weakening some of its burning power.

Three minutes later.

Chen Feng released the hilt, leaning aside for a short rest. Within the Divine Artifact, much of the Blazing Demon’s will still lingered. With its interference, Chen Feng could only maintain contact with the sword for three minutes without getting burned.

Three minutes is short.

But it was already enough.

Compared to the previous minute, the additional two minutes allowed Chen Feng to savor a reckless exhilaration during battle!
