Divine-level Base

Chapter 135 - 134: King’s Authority

’Source Power? Of course I’ll absorb it!’

Joy flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he tossed the Crystal Skull directly into the resource decomposition pool.

ZZZT!

+1600 Source Power.

A prompt immediately echoed in Shu Feng’s mind.

’2,600 Source Power. That’s just enough to add another Skill! King’s Authority!’

A slight smile touched Shu Feng’s lips as he commanded his Synthetic Warrior Corps to quickly pull back, retreating into the Badge Master’s world.

The Badge Master’s world was protected by a Heart of the World, making it difficult for many of the most terrifying monsters from the Erosion Realm to enter and wreak havoc. It was a relatively safe place.

「Inside the Energy Evolution Tower in the Base Space.」

"Implant the Skill Seed for King’s Authority!"

At Shu Feng’s command, countless mysterious Curse Seals materialized within the Energy Evolution Tower. Waves of Source Power surged forth, weaving together and condensing in the void.

Within a dozen breaths, a Skill Seed filled with illusory and mysterious fluctuations was condensed. It turned into a speck of light and sank into Shu Feng’s body.

The moment the Skill Seed entered Shu Feng’s body, it immediately began to frantically absorb his Spiritual Power.

Within a few breaths, his Spiritual Power was completely drained by the Skill Seed.

’You’ve already drained my Spiritual Power, so go ahead and absorb Source Power! King’s Authority, you’d better not disappoint me! Inject Source Power!’

A strange glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he willed it, issuing the command.

The more energy an implanted Skill Seed absorbs initially, the more powerful its evolution will be. Of course, as a Professional Skill User continues to evolve, their Skill Seeds can also evolve. However, the energy required for subsequent evolutions is ten, or even a hundred times, more than the initial amount.

Countless streams of Source Energy surged out from the Energy Evolution Tower, pouring ceaselessly into Shu Feng’s body. After being converted, it was infused into the Skill Seed.

After absorbing an immense amount of Source Energy, a mysterious, crown-like Curse Seal rapidly transformed, evolving to become even more terrifying and powerful.

「Six days later.」

The mysterious, crown-like Curse Seal appeared in Shu Feng’s sea of consciousness, radiating a mystical light.

Shu Feng slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, a line of information appeared.

"Middle Extraordinary Level King’s Authority. Skill Description: Within range, the more numerous and powerful the intelligent beings that recognize you as their king, the greater the bonus to your physique. Current range: 1,000-kilometer diameter."

’Time to test this skill’s power!’

With a thought, Shu Feng vanished from the Base Space and appeared outside.

The moment he left the Base Space, Shu Feng felt his body grow slightly heavy; the boost to his physique he received there was gone.

Shu Feng summoned a Black Dog Illusion Demon and stared intently at his attribute panel.

’One Black Dog Illusion Demon provides a comprehensive 0.1 boost to my physique.’

Shu Feng summoned the Steel Beast, Camilla, and various other Synthetic Warriors to continue his experiment, feeling the changes in his physique.

Camilla’s presence increased his All Attributes by 10 points, while the Steel Beast only provided a 0.5-point increase.

Furthermore, the more Black Dog Illusion Demons he summoned, the more the boost to his physique showed diminishing returns.

This meant that the more species and the greater the number of individuals who recognized him as king, the larger the boost to his physique would be.

If Shu Feng summoned all his Synthetic Warriors, he could increase his All Attributes by a maximum of 60 points. A 60-point increase to All Attributes was equivalent to nearly a fifty percent boost to his physique. This terrifying enhancement would drastically increase both his combat power and his survivability.

After implanting the King’s Authority Skill Seed, Shu Feng immediately set foot in the Erosion Realm once more, following his original path toward Spirit Mirror City.

「In a sinister and bizarre forest of trees with strange faces.」

Shu Feng advanced cautiously along a path cleared by a Black Dog Illusion Demon, a Demon-Breaking Bullet held tightly in his hand.

Every large tree in this forest of faces was a Demonized Tree. Getting too close would trigger an attack from their vines.

Destroying even one Demonized Tree would provoke a massive swarm attack from the others.

Previously, Shu Feng and his group had used the Demonized Trees’ aversion to Demon-Breaking Bullets to pass cautiously through this forest.

Suddenly, a black cloud flew over from the sky.

"A Black Iron Demon Sparrow Group!!"

The moment Shu Feng saw the black cloud flying toward him, his expression changed drastically.

Black Iron Demon Sparrows were another common Demonized creature in the Erosion Realm. They looked like sparrows magnified dozens of times, but with sharp beaks, incredibly sharp claws, and a covering of black iron feathers.

Each Black Iron Demon Sparrow was a Spirit Warrior Level combat creature. The most terrifying part was that they always moved in flocks, with hundreds appearing at a time. They were extremely fast, and even a Great Spirit Master Level expert could be swarmed and killed if they were not careful.

’They’re coming this way, there’s no escape! What a disaster!’

Shu Feng watched the Black Iron Demon Sparrow Group’s flight path, his gaze turning cold as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The Black Iron Demon Sparrow Group was flying directly toward Shu Feng’s position, having clearly locked onto him as a seemingly delicious prey.

A cold light flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he commanded, "Attack! Steel Beast!"

A vicious glint flashed in the Steel Beast’s eyes as it suddenly erupted into action. An incredibly sharp Steel Blade extended from its right claw, and with a single slash, it severed one of the face-bearing Demon Trees.

A large spray of blackish-red blood spewed from the Demon Tree’s trunk, splattering across the ground. A bizarre, mournful wail came from the severed upper half of the tree.

All at once, the faces on every Demon Tree in the forest turned to lock onto the Steel Beast and Shu Feng. Countless tendrils churned under the ground as the trees uprooted themselves one by one, surging toward them like humans.

Countless vines shot out like living vipers, ensnaring the scouting Black Dog Illusion Demons. With a powerful twist, they strangled them one by one.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The Steel Beast was incomparably ferocious. Swinging its Steel Blade, it sliced the obstructing Demon Trees in two and charged madly outward.

Shu Feng followed close behind the Steel Beast, rushing to get out.

From the sky, the incredibly fast Black Iron Demon Sparrow Group descended like a black cloud, swooping directly toward Shu Feng and the Steel Beast.
