Chapter 63: Demon God Phantom

“Great Devour Technique, Great Spirit Gathering Technique, Great Teleportation Technique, Great Seal Technique…” Hu Feng’s mind was clear as he sat cross-legged inside the Lich Great Hall, cultivating quietly.

Before him, a pitch-black ancient book floated in the air. On the first open page, a power ful arm appeared prominently. It had no skin and no muscles, but the gloomy hand bone was abnormally large, giving off a sense of boundless danger. The massive Bone Claw spread its five fingers, with black light flowing through them, as if it were about to reach out and grab someone at any moment. At a single glance, a boundless pressure rushed forth, and angry roars echoed in one’s ears. It seemed as if it were not an arm sealed inside, but a raging, man-eating beast locked up.

“Magic is just an extension of power, and Dou Qi is just a branch of power. Only the Three Thousand Ancient Divine Abilities passed down by the Ancient Demon Gods are the foundation of cultivation!”

Hu Feng calmed his mind and comprehended quietly.

The arm of Old Ancestor Bone Demon sealed on the Dark Heavenly Book did not allow him to comprehend a new Ancient Demon God Divine Ability; however, the will condensed on the Bone Claw and that power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth still benefited him greatly. Every time he comprehended it, he gained a bit more understanding. The four Great Ancient Divine Abilities he had already mastered actually gradually condensed into four faint phantoms!

The violent Great Devour Technique condensed into a phantom with four faces and eight arms. Its body was massive, pressing down like Mount Tai, with a blurred face. The surrounding space was twisted and deformed, seemingly swallowing all energy; even light could not approach, and only a pair of cold eyes were exceptionally clear. The phantom condensed by the Great Spirit Gathering Technique actually bore some resemblance to the terrifying Old Ancestor Bone Demon. It had no flesh and blood, only gloomy, hard bones, and the pitch-black robe on its body was suffused with an aura from another space-time.

The Great Teleportation Technique, which could travel a thousand miles in an instant, condensed into a Peng bird with a shocking wingspan. Golden light flowed on its wings, appearing and disappearing from time to time, as if it were shuttling across one Plane after another. The phantom condensed by the newly comprehended Great Seal Technique had a human body and a snake tail. Its left hand held a soaring snake, and its right hand held high a piece of dark cloud-like soil. Dark clouds covered the top, sealing off all fluctuations and auras in the surroundings.

Ancient, vicissitudinous, powerful, violent…

As soon as the four Great Demon God Phantoms condensed, Hu Feng felt strands of powerful auras descending from the Void. His Divine Sense once again came into contact with that boundless Chaos World. His whole body felt light, and almost all the magic and martial skills he had comprehended were simplified and integrated into these four Great Ancient Divine Abilities. Compared to before, his Magic Power and Soul Power had not changed much, but his understanding of power had taken a huge step forward, entering a brand new realm.

Roar…

Hu Feng shouted violently and quickly executed the Great Devour Technique. Immediately, a Demon God Phantom with four faces and eight arms appeared behind him. Eight hundred meters, three thousand meters, five thousand meters… it grew larger and larger, like an Ancient Demon God descending into the gloomy Cursed Valley. With a big inhale, sand and stones immediately flew from the ground, swirling up a massive tornado. Compared to before, the phantom was more real, more massive, and its power was even more terrifying. With one inhale, it seemed as if it wanted to swallow the entire heaven and earth; it was truly awe-inspiring!

“Just one arm of an Avatar is this powerful. If I were to swallow or seal the True Body of Old Ancestor Bone Demon, what level of cultivation would I reach?” Sensing the fear of all things in heaven and earth inside and outside the castle, Hu Feng was full of dominance, not hiding his naked pressure and boundless Killing Intent at all.

If one said that Lich King Ovisis passed down the seed of cultivation to him, then the Sixteenth Step Holy Angel, Taliana, pointed out the great path of cultivation for him.

The Demon God Path!

The Three Thousand Ancient Demon Gods were the Three Thousand Ancient Divine Abilities. Every single Divine Ability could evolve into various types of Magic or martial skills. If one spent all day cultivating various types of Magic with numerous names, no matter how strong their energy or how long their life was, they would never be able to comprehend the true essence of power, making it difficult to take the most difficult step from the Saint Domain to the Divine Domain. On the contrary, mastering one Ancient Divine Ability allowed one to draw inferences; once one understood, everything became clear! The more Ancient Divine Abilities one comprehended, the greater the potential for cultivation, and the greater the certainty of breaking through to the Divine Domain Realm.

After sealing an arm of Old Ancestor Bone Demon’s Avatar and comprehending the true path of cultivation, Hu Feng was filled with fighting spirit, and his desire to battle top experts became even stronger.

The strong remain strong. Only by constantly fighting opponents more powerful than oneself can one grow in battle and one day cultivate to the Divine Domain Realm. After comprehending the four Great Ancient Divine Abilities, below the Saint Domain, he would kill any god who stood in his way. If he were to also comprehend the Grand Illusion Technique, Great Fear Technique, Great Curse Technique, and Great Divination Technique, which he had only grasped the basics of, perhaps even ordinary Saint Domain experts would not be his opponents!

“Cold Moon City Lord, truly makes one miss him!”

Recalling the imposing Cold Moon City Lord, who was the final authority within Cold Moon City, Hu Feng smiled indifferently.

A Peak of Tier 9 Grand Swordsman, not long ago, seemed high and unreachable, far from being an opponent. Now, even if he used only one hand, he was confident he could trample the other party ruthlessly under his feet. He would make the arrogant Cold Moon City Lord deeply feel what fear was, and what despair was!

A full thirty-seven days!

Hu Feng did not move a muscle. He opened the Seal Demon Record and comprehended it for over a month.

Only after pondering thoroughly over every strand of will and every bit of power that Old Ancestor Bone Demon had condensed on the Bone Claw did he walk out of the majestic Lich Great Hall. Looking at the distant mountain ranges and the vast Wasteland, he was filled with ambition. No matter how difficult the path of cultivation was, he was determined to break through to the Divine Domain Peak. No matter how vast the Wasteland was, one day he would trample it under his feet! The anger of the Lich King would one day spread to every corner of the Wasteland!

“Lord, the Expedition Legion reports back. They have been trapped in the Underground Passage for five whole days, blocked by a large number of Harpy Witches!” Seeing Hu Feng’s figure, Saratos, the old Skeleton, quickly stepped forward to report. Behind him followed several Vampire Warriors who were specifically responsible for transmitting messages at high speed.

In order to capture the Underground Castle hidden deep underground, Yisu, the Grand Commander, personally led the army on an expedition, leaving this experienced old Skeleton to guard the Lich Castle. On one hand, he was responsible for continuously supplying the supplies consumed by the army; on the other hand, it was to ensure the safety of the base, guarding against other forces taking advantage of the emptiness to enter, and ensuring control over various resource points.

After rapid expansion, the strength of the Lich Castle grew greater and greater, but it was still far from controlling the entire valley. The Cursed Valley was simply too big. Leaving aside the Barbarian Castle High Fortress blocking the valley exit, even at the end of the valley, many powerful demons were still entrenched, and there were many dangerous places that had not been explored clearly. Without breaking through to the Saint Domain Realm, don’t even think about exploring the Underground Palace which legend said imprisoned the Dreadlord!

“Harpy Witch?”

Hu Feng frowned. According to Ovisis’s memory, this was a social creature living underground. Their numbers were not few, but their strength was not outstanding, usually only having Fifth Step strength. How could they trap the massive Lich Legion, and for five whole days?

“Lord, according to the return of the Vampire Warriors, those were not ordinary Harpy Witches. Almost every one of them had advanced to the Sixth Step. Some Witch Commanders had even advanced to an incredible Tenth Step, causing huge casualties to the forefront Skeleton Legion!” Saratos shook his head and continued, “Advancing just over a dozen miles in the darkness, over five thousand Skeleton Warriors fell. The corpses of Harpy Witches covered the ground; at least twenty thousand died, but their numbers did not decrease in the slightest, jamming the entire passage!”

As Saratos spoke, he took out a Crystal Ball and input a thread of Magic Power. Immediately, a clear image appeared. Inside a dark and gloomy passage, the ground, walls, and ceiling were all jammed with human-faced, eagle-bodied Witches, countless in number, crowded together densely like bats. Let alone their combat power, just that massive number made one’s scalp tingle.
