Divine-level Base

Chapter 130 - 129: Evolving to a Level 3 Base

The Steel Beast, like the most terrifying and invincible of killing machines, viciously slaughtered the officers of the Tandu Empire in their command center.

The officers of the Tandu Empire resisted for only a short while before their lines broke and they scattered in all directions.

With the collapse of the Tandu Empire’s command center, the one-hundred-thousand-strong army attacking Steel City was left leaderless. They too began to break, scattering in all directions.

Just then, the gates of Steel City opened, and four thousand Warriors filled with hatred for the Tandu Empire surged forth, viciously hunting down the routing army.

The three great powerhouses—Tage Mulis, Ye Mingxi, and Camilla—worked in concert. Any time a group of the Tandu Empire’s routing soldiers tried to organize any resistance, the trio would join forces to crush them.

The relentless pursuit stretched for over six miles. Tens of thousands of the Tandu Empire’s routed soldiers were slain, and another eight thousand chose to surrender.

"We won!!"

"Long live my Lord!!"

"..."

In the wake of this great victory, cheers and laughter filled all of Steel City, and Shu Feng’s prestige reached its zenith.

Li Xuan Yi said slowly, "I never imagined we would actually win this battle."

A flush crept up Yuehai’s face as he laughed in excitement. "We won! We won the battle! This world is ours!"

The rest of the students from the Celestial Pride Class were also brimming with excitement.

A world, even a mere world fragment, was of incalculable value as long as humans and other intelligent beings could survive in it. It was the very foundation upon which a Noble Family could be built.

Li Xuan Yi smiled faintly. "No, this world doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to Shu Feng. Yuehai, you need to understand this clearly. Otherwise, things will go badly for you and for him. We certainly deserve credit for our part in this battle, but the greatest credit belongs to Shu Feng."

Yuehai’s expression shifted several times before he finally gave Li Xuan Yi a deep look. "Li Xuan Yi, you’re right. This world does indeed belong to Shu Feng."

A world was of incalculable value. Steel City alone contained ten tons of gold, worth over one hundred billion. Beyond that, the various cities held a wealth of Extraordinary knowledge, medical texts, population, and land. This was a terrifyingly vast fortune, enough to make brothers kill each other and turn families into bitter enemies.

With the power Shu Feng now commanded, a single word from him could reduce any of his classmates from the Celestial Pride Class to one more skeleton among the countless dead in this world.

The victory in this decisive battle had instantly upended the balance of power in the world fragment.

Shu Feng, commanding three thousand Warriors and leading the three powerhouses—the Steel Beast, Camilla, and Ye Mingxi—began his assault on the cities defended by the other four great generals.

The Tandu Empire’s elites had already been wiped out in the decisive battle. As news of the four great generals’ fall spread to the other cities in the world fragment, the survivors of the Kang En and Resman Empires rose up in rebellion. They killed the last of the Tandu Empire’s soldiers and offered up their cities to Shu Feng one by one.

Soon, the entire world fragment—home to five great metropolises and seventeen other cities, and spanning roughly one hundred thousand square kilometers—fell into Shu Feng’s hands.

Within this world fragment, in addition to the five great metropolises and seventeen ordinary cities, there were over thirty other cities. However, these were uninhabited, as countless Corrupted beings roamed their streets.

Outside a plaza within Steel City’s City Lord’s Mansion stood the terrifying Steel Beast, accompanied by two hundred Black Dog Illusion Demons and thirty Ghost-devouring Demons.

Although the Black Dog Illusion Demons’ combat strength was far inferior to that of a Badge Master, every one of them possessed Extraordinary Smell and Extraordinary Perception. It would be no simple task for anyone to get near the plaza.

’The [Holy Emblem Box]... A treasure box that can create Extraordinary Badges and the very source of this world’s Extraordinary Power. To think there are four of them! This is incredible!’

Shu Feng stared at the four [Holy Emblem Box]es before him, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. He couldn’t help but step forward, grab one of the boxes, and send it into his Resource Decomposition Pool.

ZZZT! With a soft sizzle, the [Holy Emblem Box] was instantly broken down.

"Source Power +4000!"

A pleasant notification sound echoed in Shu Feng’s mind.

’4,000 Source Power! That’s incredible! There are still three left, so I can afford to use one more! I’m going to evolve the Base Space again!’

At that thought, Shu Feng picked up another [Holy Emblem Box] and sent it into the Resource Decomposition Pool.

"Source Power +4000! Do you wish to evolve the Base Space?"

Shu Feng answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

Within the Base Space, an immense surge of Source Energy gushed forth, pouring into a withered and broken gateway.

Countless biological tissues, glowing with the light of spacetime, began to grow rapidly. The withered gate transformed, becoming a ten-meter-tall blue gateway engraved with innumerable mystic runes and exuding a faint spacetime aura.

Within the Central Analyzer, countless lights flared as a mysterious rune flashed and then vanished.

The entire Base Space trembled, its diameter expanding by a full hundred meters. The ruins of several mysterious structures emerged from the new ground.

"Level 3 Base evolution complete. The next evolution requires 50,000 Source Energy!"

As the host of the Base Space, Shu Feng received a stream of information from the Central Analyzer, informing him of the new abilities gained after the evolution to a Level 3 Base.

After the evolution to a Level 3 Base, the Central Analyzer’s processing power surged by another hundredfold. It now completely surpassed that of Blue Star’s most powerful supercomputer, [Deep Blue].

In addition, the new structure that had evolved within the Base Space was called the [Shuttle Gate].

The [Shuttle Gate] within the Base Space was the primary one. By expending Source Power, Shu Feng could establish subsidiary [Shuttle Gate]s in other locations.

As long as Shu Feng had enough Source Power, he could travel from the primary [Shuttle Gate] to any of its subsidiary gates. This was tantamount to him being able to construct, at will, a network of gates even more formidable than the Void Demon Gates.

After all, every Void Demon Gate the Void Demon Clan established required an immense amount of resources. Beyond that, they had to perform various wicked blood sacrifices using the native lifeforms of a world. The gates could only be summoned at specific locations, and even maintaining them required a huge price and consumed a vast amount of resources.

If Shu Feng were to build a [Shuttle Gate] in this Badge World, then should he ever face mortal danger in the future, he could escape through the primary [Shuttle Gate] and arrive here.

Shu Feng could also build [Shuttle Gate]s in other worlds, allowing him to deploy his forces from the Badge World. However, if the World Law of the destination was too different from that of the Badge World, it would be nothing more than a suicide mission.
