Divine-level Base

Chapter 171 - 170: Void Demon Hunting List

On Blue Star, the most powerful beings were Spirit Saint Realm Powerhouses. But in the worlds of Gulondo and Andoras, Divine Spirits existed.

Every Divine Spirit possessed terrifying strength. With enough preparation, they could descend upon a world like Blue Star and still wield immense combat power.

In the past, it had taken a coalition of nearly half of Blue Star’s Spirit Saints, wielding the Seven Great Holy Spears, just to slay a single Divine Spirit—the God of Darkness. And the Gulondo World still had five more such beings.

This meant that, one-on-one, Blue Star’s Spirit Saints were no match for the Divine Spirits of Gulondo. Within the Gulondo World itself, the Human Race’s Spirit Saint-level Spiritual Spear Masters would be even more vulnerable.

Evolving into a Divine Spirit was the primary research focus for Blue Star’s top powerhouses. The Divine Research Association, which led this effort, had the backing of all the major powers and concealed countless terrifying old monsters within its ranks.

Zhao Zixing came from an incredibly distinguished family, and even she was unwilling to make an enemy of a terrifying organization like the Divine Research Association.

"Captain Shao, I won’t hide it from you. A few days ago, the sisters vanished without a trace. Adnan and several other suspected core members of the Dark Night Church also escaped. We barely managed to stabilize the situation in the Leiyin Republic."

"Worst of all, Hanani... she... she deceived me! She toyed with my heart and soul, then abandoned me and just left. I... I don’t even want to live anymore!"

The rims of Shu Feng’s eyes turned red, and two streams of tears gushed out, dripping onto the ground. His acting was superb.

’This guy’s acting is so convincing. I’ll have to make sure I don’t fall for it in the future.’

Seeing Shu Feng burst into tears on command, Zhao Zixing mentally rolled her eyes at him.

Shao Fan said sympathetically, "I see. Well then, let’s proceed with the handover."

Shu Feng then began the handover process, providing intelligence on some of the most heinous members of the Dark Night Church.

"Captain, do you believe what Shu Feng said?"

As soon as Shu Feng and his party left, Chen Ningquan asked.

"That kid is full of lies. I don’t believe a word of it. The Hassina sisters are definitely in his possession; at the very least, he knows where they are."

"However, Li Xuan Yi of the Bei Yuan Li Family is backing him. Besides, he’s just performed a great service and is in the spotlight. We can’t move against him right now."

A sharp glint flashed in Shao Fan’s eyes. His expression turned icy, completely devoid of the friendly demeanor he’d shown earlier.

Chen Ningquan asked, unwilling to let it go, "Is there nothing we can do?"

Shao Fan smirked. "Of course not. Since he won’t show the Divine Research Association any respect, we won’t make things easy for him. I’m going to submit an application to have Shu Feng designated as the Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User."

Chen Ningquan looked confused. "Captain, what’s the meaning of this? Once Shu Feng becomes the Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User, he’s certain to be valued and protected by the higher-ups."

Every Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User possessed a mysterious and incomparably powerful Spiritual Ability. A few of them, despite their low cultivation levels, wielded the terrifying power to threaten the lives of Spirit Saint-level powerhouses. Each one was a national treasure of the Qianyuan Republic and received the tightest possible security.

Shao Fan sneered. "A tall tree catches the wind. Once Shu Feng becomes the Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User, he’ll be added to the Void Demon Hunting List."

Understanding dawned on Chen Ningquan. "Brilliant, Captain!"

The Void Demon Hunting List was a kill list created by the Void Demon Clan, targeting the most important figures in the Blue Star Realm. At the very top of the list were Blue Star’s Half-Saints and Spirit Saints.

Anyone who successfully assassinated an important figure on the Void Demon Hunting List could claim a reward from the Void Demons. The Void Demon Clan would bestow upon the killer Power, longevity, money, and beautiful women. They would even perform a special ritual to transform the killer into a Demon or a true Void Demon Noble.

Countless powerhouses from the Void Demon Clan lurked on Blue Star, along with an unknown number of human traitors with the hearts of beasts. For anyone below the Spirit Venerable level who lacked a powerful backer, being placed on the Void Demon Hunting List was a death sentence.

The Qianyuan Republic once had more than seven Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability Users. But as soon as the others were exposed, they were added to the Void Demon Hunting List and subsequently died.

The seven who survived did so for one of three reasons: they were surrounded by powerful protectors and lived in seclusion; their Spiritual Ability had powerful life-saving properties; or their cultivation was so astounding that their strength was overwhelming.

Shu Feng was merely a minor figure at the Spirit Master Level. Once he was on the Void Demon Hunting List, his death was all but certain.

With the intelligence Shu Feng provided, the experts of the Sky Sword 23rd Team and the Guardian Flame joined forces, swiftly arresting the members of the Dark Night Church one by one.

At almost the exact same time, news that Shu Feng was the Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User spread rapidly through countless clandestine channels.

「On a scenic private island.」

"Shu Feng. Spirit Master Level cultivation. At only seventeen, he’s already conquered a Little World in the Erosion Realm and destroyed the Lord of the Dark Night Church in the Leiyin Republic. Hmm, he’s also destroyed our clan’s Void Demon Gates twice. His Ability is to summon various powerhouses, and he possesses a Summoner’s Blood Contract Ability. The Qianyuan Republic’s eighth Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User. This kid is indeed a genius of the Human Race. He’s worthy of being on our clan’s Void Demon Hunting List."

An exceptionally handsome man with short black hair was looking over a report. He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of swim trunks, and his handsome face was a perfect blend of Eastern and Western features. He glanced at the report, smiled nonchalantly, and tapped a key on his computer.

"Void Demon Hunting List, Number 100: Shu Feng. Qianyuan Republic, top freshman at Shuijing High School. Cultivation: Spirit Master Level. Designation: Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User."

"Bounty: Successful assassination grants one Void Demon Noble transformation ritual and ten billion Lan Yuan!"

A new entry instantly appeared on a mysterious website.

The Lan Yuan was the universal international currency issued by the International Monetary Fund and was used for all of Blue Star’s international trade settlements. One Lan Yuan was equivalent to ten Qianyuan. A bounty of ten billion Lan Yuan was therefore worth one hundred billion Qianyuan.

"The Void Demon Hunting List has been updated! Someone new in the top 100, the top freshman from Shuijing High School. How could such a nobody make the list? Oh, a Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability User! No wonder!"

"A Void Demon Noble transformation ritual! Kill him, and you can become a Void Demon Noble!"

"Ten billion Lan Yuan to kill a Spirit Master... that bounty is insane!"

"..."

Many of the Human Race’s powerhouses on Blue Star were browsing the mysterious website, and the eyes of more than a few degenerates lit up with excitement.

The Void Demon Hunting List was a bounty list compiled by the Void Demon Clan members lurking on Blue Star. The top one hundred names on it belonged to Blue Star’s most brilliant geniuses in their respective fields.

A successful kill allowed one to claim a reward from the Void Demon Clan and undergo a transformation ritual to become a Void Demon Noble.

Most ordinary people knew nothing about Void Demons, but the top elites among the Spiritualists were well aware that the Void Demon Clan was powerful—so powerful that it even included beings comparable to Divine Spirits.
