Divine-level Base

Chapter 165 - 164: Slaying Suhamu III

CRACK!

Thirty seconds later, a sharp cracking sound echoed from Hassina’s body. Cracks rapidly spread across her skin. Even with the support of the Magic Array, her human body could not withstand the strain of using a Divine Spirit Level Divine Art.

"What’s happening? Where is my Lord’s arm? Why hasn’t it returned? Shu Feng, what did you do to my Lord’s arm?!"

Su Hamu III stared at Hassina, her body fracturing, a flicker of fear in his eyes. He let out a gut-wrenching roar at the Steel Beast.

The arm of the Lord of the Dark Night was one of the most crucial items for his resurrection. Without it, the entire ritual would be a farce.

That was precisely why Su Hamu III had gone to such great lengths, inviting Shu Feng back to the Imperial Palace for a banquet. He simply wanted to ensure Shu Feng was still in the city while the ritual was underway.

A flicker of pity crossed Shu Feng’s eyes. He spoke through the Steel Beast, "Su Hamu III, I’ve already refined your master’s arm."

Su Hamu III’s face twisted with horror and despair. He roared, "Impossible! That’s the arm of a Divine Spirit! Only a Spirit Saint Level expert could possibly destroy the arm of a Divine Spirit! You’re lying! You must be lying! You’re just trying to trick me, aren’t you?!"

Shu Feng said, "I’m not lying. I can’t destroy the arm of a Divine Spirit on my own, but my Spiritual Ability can!"

"Impossible! You’re lying to me! You must be! To be able to destroy the arm of a Divine Spirit... could you be a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User?"

"That’s right, you’re a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User! Only a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User could refine the arm of a Divine Spirit!"

"Haha, how could I be so unlucky? To actually run into a Heaven-level Spirit Ability User! Haha! Why am I so unlucky?! Why?!"

"What was all this for?"

"I can’t fail. I will be victorious! I must break the curse! I must lead my family to greater glory!"

Su Hamu III was laughing and crying, completely unhinged and ranting incoherently, his face a mask of despair.

THUD!

Unable to locate the arm of the Lord of the Dark Night, Hassina finally plummeted from the sky. She hit the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

The moment Hassina passed out, the Steel Beast lunged. It appeared before Su Hamu III in an instant, its Steel Scythe swinging wildly for his neck.

As Su Hamu III watched the Steel Scythe approach, a moment of clarity returned to his eyes. He let out a soft sigh. "Shu Feng, take care of Hanani and Hassina for me!"

A blade flashed. Su Hamu III’s head flew high into the air as blood sprayed. His headless corpse crumpled to the ground.

As soon as Su Hamu III died, the light from the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night dimmed, and it became an ordinary statue.

"Hassina!"

A complex emotion flickered in Hanani’s eyes. She struggled over to Hassina and reached for her shoulder.

BANG!

The instant Hanani touched Hassina, she was struck by a surge of Power that sent her flying over ten meters. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her insides churning from the impact.

Hanani looked at the Steel Beast, her eyes pleading. "Shu Feng, save Hassina! Save my sister! She’s the only family I have left!"

The Steel Beast spoke. "I’m on my way."

Hanani felt a small measure of relief. Aside from Shu Feng, she didn’t know who else she could possibly rely on.

A few moments later, Shu Feng arrived in the underground square. He walked straight to Hassina, knelt, and placed a hand under her nose. His expression changed drastically.

Hassina was no longer breathing.

Shu Feng pressed his hand to Hassina’s chest, but he couldn’t feel a heartbeat. Her body was already growing cold. He could also sense faint traces of Spiritual Power dissipating from her—the telltale sign of a Spiritualist’s death.

Hanani saw Shu Feng’s grim expression, and her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "How is she? How’s my sister? She’s going to be okay, right?!"

Shu Feng silently asked the Central Analyzer in his mind, ’Can she be saved?’

A transparent tentacle extended from Shu Feng’s hand, piercing into Hassina’s body and beginning its analysis of her condition.

"Yes, but her body is on the verge of collapse. Stabilizing it will require consuming most of your Divine Power, Source Power, and Soul Power, as well as one point of Dark Divinity."

"Do you wish to save her? The required resources will increase with every passing second."

’Save her!’

Shu Feng thought of the unforgettable kisses she had given him each day. Gritting his teeth, he brought Hassina into the Energy Evolution Tower.

As soon as Hassina was inside the Energy Evolution Tower, tubes extended and sprayed a thick mucus that enveloped her, forming a cocoon.

An immense amount of Source Power flowed endlessly into Hassina, and a point of golden Divinity entered her body as well, strengthening her flesh and soul.

Shu Feng sighed internally, a twinge of regret. ’There goes my Divinity.’

The more Divinity he possessed, the greater his various resistances and the stronger his evolutionary potential. If Shu Feng hadn’t possessed two points of Divinity, the combination of Fairy Juice and Manluo Human-faced Grass would have long since scattered his Spiritual Power. Even with the Blood Contract he had signed with nine Kings of Goblins, death would have been his only fate.

Hanani stared at the spot where Hassina had vanished, a flicker of fear in her eyes. She couldn’t stop herself from demanding, "Shu Feng, where’s my sister?"

Shu Feng said, "I’m using my Ability to treat her. Don’t worry, I can definitely save her."

Only then did Hanani let out a small sigh of relief.

A notification appeared in Shu Feng’s mind: "Source Energy detected. Coordinates: N23, E34."

’Source Energy! Excellent! This can help make up for my losses!’

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up. He strode over to the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night and placed a hand on it. Instantly, transparent tentacles, invisible to the naked eye, pierced into the statue.

An endless stream of Source Energy poured from the Divine Statue of the Lord of the Dark Night into his Mysterious Base.

"Source Energy +17,000. Divine Power +18,734."

A notification sounded in Shu Feng’s mind.

’17,000 Source Energy! I really hit the jackpot this time! Hahaha!’

A flash of excitement appeared in Shu Feng’s eyes. That much Source Energy would be enough to increase his power by a huge margin.

"Hassina’s life has been saved. She has absorbed a great deal of Blood of the Divine Spirit and energy from the Lord of the Dark Night, giving her immense evolutionary potential. Do you wish to consume 13,000 Source Energy to strengthen her body and preserve her Power?"
