Chapter 732: Chapter 720 Demon’s Illusion

Shi Feng, holding the right hand of the Black Demon Hand, erupted with Blood-colored Blaze, incinerating the demon hand.

Following that, the Blood-colored Battle Armor on Shi Feng’s body shone brilliantly with blood light, all of which converged upon the demon hand, and along with the Blood Flame, refined the hand completely.

Beneath the Sacred Flame and the blood light, the black demon hand in Shi Feng’s grasp melted slowly.

On the demon hand, droplets of black liquid slowly separated, rolling in the palm of Shi Feng’s hand, and at this moment, with a flash of silver light in his left hand, the Silver Sickle that flew back into his grip once again transformed into the pattern of a sickle on the back of Shi Feng’s left hand.

Next, Shi Feng extended his left hand towards his right, which was blazing with fiery flames, placed it above his right hand, and the drops of black liquid that were rolling in the right palm immediately shot towards the left palm and then merged into it.

The Black Demon Hand was slowly melting away, and Shi Feng’s left hand was also slowly absorbing the black liquid beads!

Near the entrance of the cave by the golden lake, Yue Shaochong was still standing there, staring blankly at the white figure on the surface of the golden water. In fact, Yue Shaochong had arrived some time ago, but he had been so stunned by the battle between the two youths that he had not dared to approach.

He had no doubt that if even a trace of the power from that battle had touched him, he would have been obliterated!

"This Little Shi Feng! Just how powerful has he become, and to what realm?!"

Time slowly passed, and by now, approximately three hours had gone by. Shi Feng finally refined the Black Demon Hand that possessed Emperor Level power completely, and his left hand had absorbed all the black liquid beads that had been refined from it.

The blood light on the Blood-colored Battle Armor dissipated, and the Blood-colored Blaze above his right hand vanished as well. At that moment, Shi Feng clenched his left fist violently, and the whole fist suddenly turned pitch black, becoming a Black Demon Hand. An earth-shaking Demonic Qi surged upwards from the Black Demon Hand!

"Ha ha, good! Not bad!" Feeling the power of this demon hand, Shi Feng laughed heartily, and at that moment, he could feel that a strike from this demon hand could reach the Power of One-star Martial Emperor!

Following that, Shi Feng’s right index finger also became a Demon Finger, and the third Corrosive Demon Eye opened wide. Two more streams of black Demon Fog surged skywards from his body!

At this time, Shi Feng felt a resonance when the Demon Hand, Demon Finger, and Demon Eye, three "demon" parts, manifested simultaneously on his body, and they began to tremble violently.

The three surges of Demonic Qi, as if drawn to each other, started to merge!

The three streams of Demonic Qi quickly swirled around Shi Feng and suddenly merged into one, forming what looked like a giant black Demon Pillar, and even Shi Feng’s body was devoured by this pillar of energy.

Shi Feng, in the midst of thick Demon Fog, felt surprise at this fusion. Previously, when he had manifested the Demon Finger and Demon Eye together, such a strange occurrence had not happened. Perhaps it was because there were too few "demon" parts, or maybe the power of the Demon Finger and Demon Eye were too weak.

Now, with the addition of the Demon Hand, such a bizarre phenomenon had appeared!

"Sreeeeech!" Suddenly, an incredibly strange and grating noise, like that of massive steel grinding against each other, echoed in the space, and Shi Feng immediately saw an immeasurably huge figure, resembling a giant, faintly visible above his head!

Its head bore black curved horns, and its body was densely covered with black Demon Patterns, exuding an incomparable, mountain-like heavy presence from this black illusion!

Majestic of visage, as if it were looking down upon the world!

"Demon!" Shi Feng recognized at a glance that this giant-like black figure was the "Demon"! Back in the day, he had forced out the Residual Soul of the demon from the Demon Finger. Though the soul was only the size of a fingertip, its appearance was exactly the same as this illusionary figure of the Demon!

"That... What is that!" Yue Shaochong, who was not far from the cave entrance, also saw the massive shadow emerging within the giant Demon Fog that devoured Shi Feng’s body, and his whole body involuntarily began to tremble. He was even pressed by the powerful, intangible aura to the point that he gasped for breath and was about to suffocate.

His legs went weak, and Yue Shaochong slumped to the ground.

However, quickly after, Yue Shaochong saw the shadow disappear suddenly and felt his body lighten.

Shi Feng, within the black Demon Fog, witnessed the "Demon’s" illusion vanish suddenly and, with a thought, the towering black Demon Fog once again came under his control.

With a thought from Shi Feng, the merged black Demon Fog quickly separated and transformed back into three pillars of black fog shooting skyward.

But in that moment, Shi Feng sensed that after the merging of the black Demon Fog and the appearance of the "Demon’s" illusion, his Demon Finger, Demon Hand, and Corrosive Demon Eye simultaneously possessed the power of a Two-star Martial Emperor!

It was as if they had been baptized by the "Demon’s Illusion"!

"This! Can it really work like this?" Shi Feng exclaimed in surprise once again!

If this were the case, could he become stronger by collecting more of the "Demon’s" remnants?

If he collected every piece of the "Demon’s" body, what heights could he reach? Could he possibly enter the Divine Realm?

The Divine Realm!

Just the thought of the Divine Realm, a power only mentioned in ancient legends, filled Shi Feng with a vague excitement!

However, in his heart, Shi Feng also considered another possibility; fully assembling the "Demon’s" body could very likely awaken the "Demon."

This would be a double-edged sword — he would either wield the body to possess Divine Grade power, or he might awaken the "Demon" and have to confront the mighty creature.

Even the Blood Demon, feared by warriors of the Blood Pattern Tribe, had to join forces with their sworn enemy to combat this "Demon," using the Blood-colored Battle Armor and Sacred Sword Fragments to suppress a "Demon Heart."

Then, Shi Feng stopped dwelling on these thoughts; at present, he only had three remnants of the "Demon’s" body, which was far from enough to assemble the entire demon.

The demon most likely faced unanimous condemnation during the Ancient Period and was suppressed by countless powerful beings who then divided up his body and sealed the parts across the Tianheng Continent.

To gather the complete Demon Body was easier said than done.

At the moment, another pressing matter awaited Shi Feng’s attention. Beneath him lay Golden Lake, and he would certainly not pass up the chance to strengthen his body with the golden liquid—not a single drop would be spared!

Following this, Shi Feng’s mind stirred again, and with a flash of blood-colored light in his left palm, a mini Blood-colored Stone Stele shot out from the center of his left hand.

As soon as the Blood-colored Stone Stele appeared, it quickly grew under Shi Feng’s command, turning into the size of a small mountain in an instant, half-submerged in the golden waters.

"Absorb!"
