Chapter 44: Demon Lord

Transforming into a power ful Death Warrior required an astronomical amount of energy. Even Hu Feng, who possessed profound Magic Power, felt as if he were burning out. After giving a few instructions, he turned around, sat cross-legged in the Lich Great Hall to meditate. While absorbing the massive dark energy to slowly recover, he quietly sorted out the insights he had gained during this period.

The mysterious Old Ancestor Bone Demon made him realize that Magic adheres to a cultivator’s powerful will; a single strand of thought is a powerful spell. The phantom of the Peerless Saintess did not leave behind the cultivation methods for the Great Prophecy Technique and Great Divination Technique, but it allowed him to touch a trace of the trajectory of fate. The mysterious Gui Yin in the depths of the Ghost Market left behind a Divine Realm Atlas, letting him feel the shock of the Divine Realms of many races. The Cold Moon City Lord and Sword Saint Hei Mu took him into a world of Sword Qi, making him understand just how powerful a Saint Domain expert was…

Hu Feng meditated with a calm heart, silently calculating the gains and losses of this period.

What Lich King Ovisis left behind was merely a ruin and a mess, leaving him alone to face this dog-eat-dog world. One wrong step meant every step would be wrong. Whether it was personal cultivation or the development of the castle, no major mistakes were allowed in the general direction. A single moment of carelessness could bring about a catastrophe of total destruction.

When he had just inherited Ovisis’s power, he was full of ambition, looking forward to the day he would conquer the entire Wasteland. Now, after going out to train for a while, he realized how naive his original thoughts were. Without powerful strength, let alone conquering the entire Wasteland, simply standing his ground would be an achievement. Only by cultivating to the Divine Domain Peak would he have the capital to look down on the heroes!

Under his quiet cultivation, three days passed quickly.

Sensing the vast Magic Power and soul power within his body, Hu Feng slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, the treasures stored in the Alternate Dimension all appeared before him. With the breakthrough in his cultivation, the area of the Alternate Dimension within his body became larger and larger, more than ten times the size of the space sealed within the Dark Ring. Unfortunately, it was cold and dark, with no vitality; so far, he could not bring living things inside. Who knows when it would grow into the legendary Semi-plane, or even a Plane that contains everything.

“Ghost King Cloak, Nameless Ring, Demon Horn…” Hu Feng examined the treasures before him one by one.

After re-refining, the Ghost King Cloak and Dark Magic Pen both had a close, blood-like affinity; they were handy to use, and could be quickly repaired if damaged. Strangely, the Nameless Ring that exploded from Bald Wolf’s body was made of unknown material; his Divine Sense could not penetrate it, and using the Angel Flame could not refine it either. After a long while and trying several times, he could only give up and pick up the Demon Horn beside him.

He had snatched this treasure from the Long-haired Evil Ghost Commander but hadn’t had time to examine it closely. A strand of Divine Sense penetrated into it, and immediately, the shouts of countless Demons rang in his ears, as if he were placed on an ancient battlefield, with boundless Demons surging forward like a tide. Just that lingering shouting was enough to make an ordinary person lose their mind, lost in the ancient battlefield, unable to wake up.

Powerful!

Hu Feng was startled in his heart, realizing that the Evil Ghost Commander had far from truly unleashed the power of this treasure. If it fell into the hands of a high-level Great Magician, perhaps just a simple soul attack could destroy a person’s body and soul!

Angel Flame, Soul Impact…

Hu Feng probed the Demon Horn in his hand bit by bit. Finally, he simply cast the Great Devour Technique, forcibly devouring the Demon power sealed inside, and inputting vast Death Aura.

Slowly, the cold Demon Horn began to melt, revealing ferocious skulls one by one. However, just as he thought he was about to succeed, a sharp will suddenly burst from the depths of the Demon Horn, transforming into a Great Demon with a blurred face. Holding a scythe, it pounced ferociously. Its aura was even more terrifying than the Saintess’s phantom that day. His vast Divine Sense was crushed by it; if he didn’t become an idiot, he would still be severely wounded!

Demon Lord?

Hu Feng’s expression changed. He shouted explosively, fully utilizing the Great Devour Technique. The Demon God Phantom behind him became even larger, extracting the Demon power within the Demon Horn like a bottomless pit, converting it into pure Magic Power and soul power to pour into his body. If he could wipe out this will of the Demon Lord, he could refine the Demon Horn into a powerful Undead treasure; if he failed, perhaps his soul would scatter and spirit dissipate!

Roar…

The Great Demon with the blurred face roared loudly, madly plundering the Demon power within the Demon Horn, and its phantom became more and more real. The massive scythe struck down hard, and Hu Feng’s Divine Sense was almost crushed. Cracks appeared on the Demon God Phantom behind him, its figure dimmed. The violent Great Devour Technique was actually cut off by a single blade. Then, before Hu Feng’s Divine Sense could retreat, another fierce blade struck, carrying the shouts of millions of Demons. In an instant, the momentum was astonishing, unstoppable like a flood releasing from a dam!

“I don’t believe I can’t destroy even a single thought of yours!” Hu Feng gritted his teeth and smashed all the Crystals in his body onto the Soul Summoning Banner behind him.

Suddenly, a vast and boundless Death Aura, seemingly inexhaustible, surged into the Demon Horn, colliding head-on with the fiercely approaching Great Demon. The dimmed Demon God Phantom burst with black light, and the ferocious Great Devour Technique went completely berserk, swallowing all the Demon power within the Demon Horn in one go, still unsatisfied like a whale swallowing seawater. Without the support of Demon power, the Demon phantom formed by that single will quickly dissipated under the Soul Summoning Banner’s violent strike.

With a ‘ding’, skulls with wide-open mouths shouting appeared on the Demon Horn, bearing the imprint of Hu Feng, the Lich King. Inputting a strand of Death Aura immediately stirred up a surging Undead Roar. The Skeleton Soldiers standing outside the Lich Great Hall roared along with it; their speed and strength skyrocketed, their bodies instantly grew a size larger, and their combat power doubled.

“Good, from now on, this is the Death Horn of the Lich Legion. The sound of the horn shall not stop, the attack shall not cease, until the last Undead falls!” Hu Feng stood up with a ‘hu’, passed down the order, and immediately summoned commanders like Yisu and Saratos. With this extremely powerful Undead Horn, the combat power of the Lich Legion would increase significantly, becoming even more formidable when conquering cities and seizing lands!

…

“Huh, interesting. A mere Dark Mage was actually able to wipe out a strand of my Divine Sense!”

As Hu Feng summoned the commanders of the Lich Legion for a meeting, at the same time, in the distant Abyssal Plane, inside a palace towered into the clouds, a Great Demon hundreds of meters tall slowly opened its eyes. Its face was blurred, and thick Demon power permeated the surroundings, as if it were a high-ranking Demon God looking down at the earth outside the palace. With a gentle slap of its hand, a Great Demon holding a Death God Scythe strode up, prostrated respectfully, and the energy fluctuations within its body were even more terrifying than Sword Saint Hei Mu!
