Divine-level Base

Chapter 299 - 298: Demigod Skeleton

The Mire Dragon was locked in a deadly battle with the Swamp Five-headed Serpent and the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile. It was already severely wounded, and its Spiritual Sense had been greatly weakened. This was how Shu Feng managed to land a successful strike, directly shattering one of its eyes.

With one eye destroyed, the Mire Dragon became even more ferocious. It struggled madly, its claw lashing out and violently tearing off one of the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s heads.

The Swamp Five-headed Serpent shrieked in pain and coiled even tighter around it.

The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile seized the opportunity to rush forward. Its three heads bit down frantically, clamping onto one of the Mire Dragon’s claws. With a violent tug from all three heads, it mangled the claw into a bloody mess, cracking the very bone.

The Mire Dragon’s remaining claw lashed out fiercely, imbued with a black glint. It struck one of the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile’s heads, piercing straight through it.

After shattering one of the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile’s heads, the Mire Dragon’s aura weakened considerably.

A residual shadow flashed as the Steel Beast leaped from the back of a Swamp Three-headed Serpent. In mid-air, it transformed into its third form, erupting in a golden glow. Wielding its Steel Scythe, it slashed down madly, becoming a streak of cold light that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart as it struck viciously at the Mire Dragon’s neck.

A torrent of blood sprayed out as the Steel Beast’s attack blew half of the Mire Dragon’s head apart, causing a massive spray of gore.

The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile seized the chance to pounce. Its two remaining heads bit down madly, clamping onto the Mire Dragon’s wound. With a frenzied tear, they ripped the injury wide open.

An immense amount of blood gushed from the Mire Dragon’s wound. No matter how strong its Recovery Power was, it couldn’t withstand such horrific blood loss.

The Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s remaining three fang-filled heads bit down frantically on the Mire Dragon’s wound. With a powerful tear, they ripped off another large chunk of flesh, sending even more blood spurting out.

After taking so many fatal hits, the Mire Dragon’s Power began to drain away rapidly along with its gushing blood. Critically injured, it struggled for a moment longer before the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile bit through its neck, extinguishing its life.

"High-level Soul +1. Spiritual Power +2,000,000!"

A notification sound echoed.

Shu Feng glanced at the forty-meter-long Mire Dragon corpse and thought to himself, ’As expected of a Spirit Venerable Realm Level Mire Dragon! Truly ferocious!’

’The Mire Dragon Marsh is truly full of hidden dangers, concealing countless ferocious swamp monsters. A single Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile isn’t enough to dominate this place.’

Shu Feng looked at the heavily scarred Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile and the Swamp Five-headed Serpent, which had two of its heads torn off. He gained a profound understanding of the dangers within the Mire Dragon Marsh and why no one had explored it.

A Spirit Saint Level powerhouse, if they hadn’t specifically cultivated Swamp Magic, would find it difficult to move an inch in the Mire Dragon Marsh. Even if those Spirit Saint Level powerhouses could fly, encountering a monster like the Mire Dragon with its No-fly Zone Ability would be extremely dangerous.

A single Mire Dragon’s No-fly Zone naturally couldn’t stop a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse, but if the No-fly Zones of multiple Mire Dragons were to stack, even a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse would fall.

Furthermore, the Mire Dragon Marsh didn’t really have any Treasures of Heaven and Earth that would drive a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse into a frenzy, so the place had become a "chicken rib."

’The corpse of a Demigod Level behemoth... I wonder if there’s any Divinity left in it.’

A fervent light flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he gazed at the colossal skeleton of the Demigod Mire Dragon. After storing the corpse of the Spirit Venerable Realm Mire Dragon in his Base Space, he moved toward the demigod’s remains.

’I’ve found it! The source of the Source Energy!!’

As soon as Shu Feng arrived beneath the Demigod Mire Dragon’s skeleton, a look of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes. Piled up below the skeleton was a large patch of amber-colored stones—the very same stones from which Source Energy could be extracted.

Shu Feng immediately stored the Demigod Mire Dragon’s skeleton in his Base Space.

"Master, please grant me these Mire Dragon Remains! And then grant me Source Energy! I can feel that if I eat this skeleton and use the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest, I can evolve to become much stronger! I can become your most loyal and powerful servant!!"

Shu Feng pondered for a moment before replying decisively, "Hm? Alright! You can eat after I’ve collected enough Source Energy Stones!"

The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile was a peerlessly ferocious swamp monster born from Mutant Evolution, and its evolutionary potential was far greater than that of an ordinary Mire Dragon. If it underwent another Mutant Evolution, it would become even more terrifying.

The Swamp Three-headed Serpents swarmed over, and the Ghost-devouring Demons standing on them began to frantically collect the amber-colored stones.

"Source Energy +150,000!"

「Three days later.」

All the amber-colored stones had been collected. They were sent to the Resource Dissolving Pool and converted into 150,000 Source Energy.

"Alright, you can eat now!"

Shu Feng stood above the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest and said calmly to the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile.

With 150,000 Source Energy as a backup, Shu Feng’s confidence surged.

Genetic mutant evolution was extremely dangerous. The slightest mistake could lead to genetic collapse. Once the genes collapsed, even a Spirit Saint Realm powerhouse would face certain death and turn into a monster.

The Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest could guide a creature’s genetic mutation in a positive direction, protecting the mutating creature’s genes and preventing them from collapsing.

This kind of genetic mutation carried enormous risks. Attempting it without a powerful energy source like Source Energy was a surefire path to death. Even with it, there was still a success rate to consider. A mutation with good compatibility would consume less Source Energy and be highly efficient. A mutation with poor compatibility would consume more energy and have low efficiency.

The Swamp Giant Crocodile and the Nine-headed Serpent had high genetic compatibility, which was why it was able to absorb a massive amount of Source Energy and various resources to successfully undergo Mutant Evolution and become the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile. If this Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile could undergo Mutant Evolution one more time, it would definitely become far more powerful than that forty-meter Mire Dragon.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile pounced, biting down hard on the Demigod Level Mire Dragon’s skeleton. Its sharp teeth instantly crushed the bones, and it swallowed them.

From the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest, tentacle-like tubes extended and pierced into the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile’s body, beginning to pump it full of Source Energy.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile frantically gnawed on the Demigod Level Mire Dragon Remains. Its stomach was like a bottomless pit; empowered by the Source Energy, it actually managed to completely devour the entire skeleton, which was as large as a small mountain.
