Chapter 695: Chapter 681: A Bountiful Harvest No conflict of interest means friends, and having conflict of interest means enemies.
In the apocalypse, the distinction between friends and enemies is actually very simple; you just need to remember the above two points and that’s enough.
Chen Feng has never targeted any race nor submitted to any strong entity. In his eyes, any force with the potential to become an enemy and those that affect him will be marked as enemies.
Killing Naraku’s avatar happened not long ago. The Inferior Demon evolved into a true divine spawn due to the divinity within its body!
But it was precisely because of this that Chen Feng and Naraku became mortal enemies.
The Evil God possesses some powers for self-preservation that are hard for mortals to grasp. Even in that crisis, Naraku still escaped effortlessly. Chen Feng attempted to find him during this time, but Naraku’s trail seemed to vanish, completely untraceable.
Who could have thought that the enemy was nearby, waiting to deliver a fatal blow in his moment of greatest weakness!
At this time, Chen Feng focused all his attention on subduing Matt. Not only was his spiritual power highly concentrated, but even the power of his soul was weakened to the extreme. Naraku chose a perfect moment; Chen Feng apparently has no power to retaliate!
"It seems I underestimated the Evil God’s power. This is a level of concealing skill higher than stealth. I actually attempted to find him; it’s simply wishful thinking!"
Though in extreme danger, Chen Feng remained calm, chuckling humorlessly. He originally thought Naraku might be hiding in some deserted corner with his divinity drained by him, but who could have imagined it had been lurking nearby.
This mindset is clearly unmatched by ordinary strong entities!
Even though the enemy had become a ghost, its wisdom remained at a terrifying critical point.
Naraku holds the divine office of death. Though its divinity was taken by Chen Feng, its power is at the Golden Tier, yet its grasp over souls is slightly stronger than that of ordinary legendary strong entities.
In order to suppress Matt, Chen Feng had basically exhausted all his power of the soul. At this moment, he was like a small flame that could be completely extinguished with a gentle blow!
If Naraku could devour Chen Feng’s soul, then it would fully have the potential to become a legendary tier. The insidious Evil God’s plan is extremely terrifying. The ghost’s body gives it even more horrifying concealing abilities. Once it becomes legendary, it will find ways to slowly kill all the high-level powers of Order.
Once high-level powers are completely cut off, Order would return to chaos. In such an instance, Naraku could perform large-scale necromancy to transform Order into a city of undead!
Clearly, Naraku has gone mad to such a degree that it actually wants to turn Order into a graveyard!
Chen Feng destroyed its plan, and now, it wants to use the same method to utterly destroy the Order that Chen Feng had painstakingly built!
If Naraku’s plan succeeds, even Wei Xun and Xu Hongzhuang might not escape being hunted down. At that time, the whole Order would plunge into devastation, once again falling into a cycle of death!
Naraku’s scythe emitted a faint layer of blood light, slicing through the air towards Chen Feng’s neck. Even if the opponent had legendary tier power, once hit by this scythe, it would perish with bitterness, with no chance of survival!
Moreover, this scythe was originally a projection of a real divine artifact. Although it wasn’t its original form, it possessed some abilities to imprison souls. If imprisoned, Chen Feng might be turned into an undead creature by his enemy, aiding in the destruction of the Order City he built with his own hands!
Chen Feng’s cold, merciless eyes gazed at the approaching scythe, where Naraku’s image was reflected in his pupils at close range.
"Saruman!"
Chen Feng let out a thunderous roar.
"Whoosh!"
Just as the scythe was about to slice through Chen Feng’s neck, the surrounding space ruptured, and a white staff suddenly blocked the scythe.
Saruman appeared and blocked this lethal blow. Immediately, it started chanting, shadows emerging at its feet, racing towards Naraku!
——Soul Devour!
This was a form of dark magic, highly effective against spirit bodies!
"Undead creature! You are a lich, why would you help this human!" Naraku roared, but having become a ghost, its roar became a piercing shriek to human ears. At this moment, it thought of using its power to enter the void, but Saruman, being a lich, was naturally familiar with all means of the undead. By wielding the Bone Staff, it sealed Naraku’s escape route instantly!
"Although the opponent only possesses Golden Tier strength, their methods are unpredictable. If I weren’t familiar with the Undead’s techniques and sealed the surrounding environment, they might have escaped again." Saruman looked at the Spirit Body in front of him with intense interest, unusually explaining to Chen Feng.
"This is a fragment of an Evil God, grasping the essence of death. Devouring it will greatly benefit you!" Chen Feng’s attention remained on Matt as he replied to Saruman without turning his head.
Chen Feng would never put himself in real danger. Even in the duel with Matt, he left a trace of Spiritual Power to quickly summon in case of emergencies!
Who could have predicted that Chen Feng’s suspicion would prove correct? At this critical moment, someone indeed came to cause trouble!
Being a Spirit Body, Naraku was completely immune to physical attacks, rendering Li Long and the Inferior Demons ineffective. Thus, Chen Feng thought of Saruman and summoned him at that crucial moment to avoid what would have been a fatal strike.
"Exactly! Although the divinity within the opponent is gone, there is still much knowledge I need. If I can devour it, my strength may undergo a qualitative change!"
Saruman stared at Naraku, his previously empty gaze erupting with fervent greed. With no escape, Naraku was just a Ghost of the Golden Tier.
At this moment, Saruman raised the Bone Staff again. The surroundings were suddenly shrouded in darkness, and thick tentacles appeared, curling around Naraku’s body.
——Soul’s Touch!
Feeling his actions restricted, Naraku let out shrill screams, "You have betrayed Death, showing loyalty to a life! I smell the scent of Bone Plain on you. I will find you and cast your soul into the most wretched worm body!"
Though the curse from the Evil God bore some threat, Saruman was unfazed. Bone Plain was indeed his old lair, but wielding the power of death promised a potential breakthrough to Legendary status. Even if his forces in Bone Plain were destroyed, it would be worth it!
The Abyss has no lack of corpses. Once Saruman masters Legendary Power, it wouldn’t take long for him to control forces several times more terrifying than before. Thus, Naraku’s threat meant nothing to him!
Naraku’s body was devoured by Soul’s Touch. Saruman obtained Naraku’s fragment, and now he needed only to find a peaceful environment to absorb its energy and knowledge!
Chen Feng paid little extra attention to Naraku and Saruman. He still had pressing matters: taming Matt, this Legendary Flame Demon!
Now, with nothing else to care about, Chen Feng shouted, unleashing his remaining Spiritual Power like a storm towards Matt.
A massive soul emerged from Matt, filled with dense malevolence, rolling black smoke like wicked flames, continuously morphing into grim human faces, with countless screams echoing through.
"How many beings did this guy kill for his soul to harbor such intense resentment?" Even Chen Feng was taken aback at this moment!
Yet it’s no surprise. As a Legendary Creature, especially one living in the chaos of the Abyss, Matt had participated in countless bloody battles, having killed possibly hundreds of thousands!
This was Matt’s Power of the Soul. A gleam flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes, possessing immense absorption force, directly drawing these souls into his own body.
At this moment, fragmented scenes surfaced in Chen Feng’s mind, transitioning from a weak Demon to a powerful Demon Lord, replaying Matt’s entire life in his mind.
Meanwhile, the energy attached to Matt was dispersing with the wind. In the next second, this proud and powerful Demon Lord knelt directly, paying homage to Chen Feng!
Matt was utterly conquered by him. Now devoid of previous hostility, he seemed like a loyal Knight pledging to a King, his face full of respect!
"Truly a substantial gain!"
Chen Feng looked at the now transformed Matt, feeling as if it was a dream, but he understood that all of this actually happened.
Naraku, failing in his stealth, not only failed to kill Chen Feng but also fell, becoming nourishment for Saruman’s promotion. If Saruman could master the power of death, his realm might ascend a level!
The Legendary Flame Demon Matt was also completely subdued after a soul baptism, lying humbly at Chen Feng’s feet. Including the Fallen Angel, Inferior Demon, and the doubly mutated Li Long, Chen Feng had now four Legendary Tier Summoned Beasts under his command!
Such a scene was beyond Chen Feng’s initial expectations, a human force having gathered five Legendary powerhouses, granting Chen Feng the strength for realm exploration.
Without a doubt...
Chen Feng now possessed the capability for planar invasion!
