Divine-level Base

Chapter 329: Chapter 328: Infiltration

An atmosphere of war loomed over the entire Void Demon Battlefield, and grain prices soared. The territories of the various Noble Families began frantically stockpiling grain. If not for the endless stream of supplies being transported from the Qianyuan Republic’s mainland to the Void Demon Battlefield, the price of grain there would have surely skyrocketed to an astronomical figure.

The various territories began to muster their armies and prepare for war. The Noble Families all understood that the Void Demon Clan’s counterattack was next. An unending tide of Void Demon armies would soon assault the Blue Star Human Clan from all directions.

On the other side of the Mire Dragon Marsh, ripples shimmered on the face of a cliff, and Shu Feng walked straight out of the rock wall.

’The best defense is a good offense! I need to clear out the hidden threats around Mire Dragon Territory before the main Void Demon forces arrive.’

Shu Feng looked to the northwest, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The other side of the Mire Dragon Marsh was territory occupied by the Void Demon Clan.

Just as it was difficult for the Human Race to attack the Void Demon Clan’s territory through the Mire Dragon Marsh, it was equally difficult for the Void Demon Clan to attack the humans.

Shu Feng had been tied up with other matters before and hadn’t had the time to clear out this pocket of Void Demon Territory. Besides, before the Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower was established, he hadn’t wanted to attract the Void Demon Clan’s attention.

With the full support of the Zhu Clan, Shu Feng had established two giant cities in Mire Dragon Territory, each protected by a Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower. His base was now secure. Only then did he dare venture into the Void Demon Clan’s territory.

With a slight flicker of his body, Shu Feng flew like a Ghost toward the stretch of Void Demon Territory.

Inside the Lord’s Mansion of the Black Swamp Marquisate.

Shu Feng activated the [Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring] and moved through the Lord’s Mansion like a Ghost, completely invisible to everyone within.

Inside a banquet hall.

"Viscount Jiahuo, Marquis Hilardo’s main army will arrive here in two days. Have you made the necessary preparations?"

A tall and powerfully built Devouring Ghost Demon Clan Count, who was handsome but had a hint of cruelty in his eyes, asked coolly.

Viscount Jiahuo replied respectfully, "Yes, Count Uer! I have already levied a triple tax on those lowly slaves, and we have enough grain and fodder to supply an army of 100,000 for three years. Furthermore, I have assembled a cannon fodder army of 100,000 slaves, ready to be deployed at any time."

When the Void Demon Clan went to war, in addition to their main forces, they would also conscript massive amounts of cannon fodder from their vassal races and slaves.

This vast amount of cannon fodder served a great purpose in war. Not only could they exhaust the defenders’ Spiritual Power, but in times of need, they could also become food for the Void Demon Clan’s warriors.

The Void Demon Clan was composed of numerous races, including the Blood Demon Clan, the Werewolf Demon Race, the Nether Demon Race, the Parasitic Spider Demon Race, the Ghost Demon Clan, the Dragon Demon Clan, and the Devouring Ghost Demon Clan.

Among them, the Blood Demon Clan fed on the blood of slaves in their territory, the Ghost Demon Clan had a tradition of cannibalism, and the other Demon Races would also treat other intelligent races as food when necessary. Thus, these cannon fodder slave armies were of considerable use to the Void Demon Clan’s legions.

Count Uer smiled faintly. "Very good. On the other side of the Mire Dragon Marsh lies the territory of the Qianyuan Republic’s Yuanhai Shu Family. Their Patriarch, Shu Feng, is the number one human expert on the Void Demon Hunting List. If you can perform meritorious service while destroying his territory, you might even have a chance to be promoted to Count."

A broad smile filled Viscount Jiahuo’s face. "I must ask you, Count Uer, to please put in a good word for me with the Lord Marquis. See if you can have me transferred back to the Void Demon Realm. I don’t want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second."

Count Uer chuckled. "Back in the Void Demon Realm, you wouldn’t be so grand, commanding millions of slaves. Why would you want to go back?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

The Void Demon Realm was filled with powerful experts. A mere Void Demon Viscount like Jiahuo was a minor figure who would never be able to command millions of slaves.

Viscount Jiahuo sighed faintly. "This battlefield is too dangerous. I prefer a peaceful and stable life. I’m homesick! I miss my wife and children back in the Void Demon Realm."

Count Uer said, "The main army of the Brentania Republic has already been annihilated by us. From now on, the strategic initiative is in our hands. This place will only become safer. Once we defeat the main force of the Yuanhai Shu Family, I will speak to the Lord Marquis and have him find a way to transfer you back to the Void Demon Realm so you can be reunited with your wife and children."

Viscount Jiahuo was overjoyed. "Thank you, Count Uer!"

"Unfortunately, you won’t get that chance, Viscount Jiahuo!"

Ripples shimmered in the air as Shu Feng emerged from the void. He struck Viscount Jiahuo’s back with a single palm strike. A terrifying phantom of a Great Sun materialized, shattering the Void Demon Membrane on the Viscount’s back in one blow, then blasted through into his body, piercing straight through him.

The wild Spiritual Power of the Sun and Moon Scripture surged into Viscount Jiahuo’s body, pulverizing every last trace of his Power of Void Demon.

After severely wounding Viscount Jiahuo—whose combat power was comparable to the Grandmaster Level—with a single strike, Shu Feng casually tossed him into the Warrior Synthesis Nest to be suppressed.

"Shu Feng! It’s you! Excellent!"

Count Uer was slightly taken aback, but a look of delight flashed in his eyes. A terrifying black Power of Void Demon enveloped his body as he thrust a claw directly at Shu Feng.

’A Void Demon Count, a Spirit Venerable Level monster! Let’s see what you’re made of!’

A ferocious light glinted in Shu Feng’s eyes as he threw a punch, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom, and slammed it into Count Uer’s claw.

BANG!!

Following a deafening crash, the fingers on Count Uer’s right claw twisted out of shape, and his entire body was sent flying backward like a ragdoll, smashing violently into a nearby wall.

Count Uer struggled to his feet, a look of dread in his eyes. ’What terrifying Power! How could a mere human possess such horrifying Power?’

’This is the Power of a Spirit Venerable Level Void Demon! It truly is terrifying!’

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. After sending Count Uer flying with a single punch, he felt his right hand go numb as a terrifying Power of Void Demon began to corrode it.

Shu Feng had to channel a massive amount of Spiritual Power to eradicate the invading wisps of the Power of Void Demon.

"Shu Feng, your growth is astonishing! A mere human who actually possesses combat strength comparable to the prodigies of our Void Demon Clan. However, you are far too arrogant! For a mere Spirit Sect member to dare provoke me—you’re courting death!"

A vicious glint flashed in Count Uer’s eyes. The Power of Void Demon swirled around him as his muscles rippled and squirmed. His body suddenly swelled, his skin turned black, and a single Ghost Horn sprouted from his forehead.

In an instant, Count Uer transformed from a handsome and refined middle-aged man into a terrifying, three-meter-tall monster with a body of corded muscle, a Ghost Horn on his head, and sharp claws on his hands.
