Refining Killing Intent, Spear Shattering the God Seat! (Please Keep Reading)

The Star Dou Great Forest straddled the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and was one of the three most famous Soul Beast habitats on the Douluo Continent.

The terrain within was complex, with wetlands, swamps, and more.

Any Soul Master, as long as they were strong enough and lucky enough, could find the Soul Ring most suited to them inside.

But the Soul Beasts within were also extremely terrifying. The closer one got to the center of the forest, the stronger the Soul Beasts became, and there were no few hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

And at this moment.

Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan stood outside the Star Dou Great Forest, gazing at the endless sea of trees and listening to the Rustling Sound made by the wind blowing through the woods.

"Uncle, it's getting late today. Let's set up camp here."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll officially set out."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan nodded. As he took out a tent and other items from his spatial Soul Guidance Ring, he asked curiously, "Chengfeng, we left so suddenly. From the time Zhu Yan sees the message to when it reaches His Majesty's ears, it'll take several days no matter what, right?"

"Though with me here, there shouldn't be any danger in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"But if we took the main road, we'd clearly still have time to leave Star Luo territory. Why do you insist on going through the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Dai Chengfeng smiled and shook his head. "Uncle, you still don't understand that imperial father of mine very well!"

"Who said the news of us heading to Heaven Dou has to be delivered by Zhu Yan?"

"I can guarantee it!"

"The moment we left the city, someone sent a message to my imperial father by Urgent Delivery right behind us. They might even send word to the border city at the same time."

"If we took the main road..."

"I'm afraid we'd be intercepted halfway and dragged back. Even if we were lucky enough not to be discovered along the way, we absolutely wouldn't make it past the pass!"

"Do you believe it?"

"Uh..."

Zhu Fan was suddenly at a loss for words. "Fine."

He felt that his brother-in-law really might do something like that. It seemed he had been thinking too simply before.

"Chengfeng, oh Chengfeng, you've really made your uncle suffer!"

"Right now, I only hope Brother-in-law will consider that I was forced by you and didn't voluntarily accompany you to the Heaven Dou Empire, and not punish me..."

Looking at Zhu Fan pouring out his grievances, Dai Chengfeng smiled. "I really should thank you, Uncle."

"How about this!"

"When I become the Star Luo Emperor, I'll help you find twenty aunts-in-law. How's that?"

"Hehehe, Chengfeng, now you're talking like an outsider. We're family!"

Zhu Fan's "tears" slid down from the corner of his mouth despite himself.

Then he raised both hands and stretched out ten fingers. "Your uncle actually isn't greedy. Twenty is too many. I'm afraid this old waist of mine won't be able to take it. Ten... Mm~"

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Fan withdrew one hand. "Five! Let's make it five!"

"After all, your uncle's Hell Spirit Cat is mainly fast, but a little lacking in strength. Five is enough, hehe~"

Looking at Zhu Fan, whose eyes were narrowed as he had already sunk into fantasy, Dai Chengfeng smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Amid laughter and chatter, the two finished dinner and each returned to their tents.

"Before, I was first busy taking over Wu Ping City, then dealing with flood control during the torrential rain, then drawing the plans for Dujiangyan... I never had any free time."

"Now, I finally have the chance to refine the killing aura the Emperor White Tiger Avatar devoured on the battlefield!"

Inside the tent, Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath.

Then he sat cross-legged, gathered himself, and his consciousness slowly began to sink into his Spirit Sea.

And at this moment, deep within his Spirit Sea.

A mass of dark red energy was bound by strands of golden Innate Geng Metal chains, ensuring it could not disperse and would not affect Dai Chengfeng's emotions.

Looking at this killing aura that had grown dense to the extreme...

Cold, a chill that sank into the marrow!

Though this killing aura was suppressed by the Innate Geng Metal Qi, it still radiated endless cold.

It was as if countless Lost Souls were wailing miserably beside his ears. That was the unwillingness of lives that had been slaughtered, and their endless malice toward him, the instigator, wanting to devour him!

"This seems to be the first time I've faced this devoured killing aura head-on while awake, isn't it?"

Dai Chengfeng seemed thoughtful, while a cold smile curved at the corner of his mouth. "Since I was able to kill you on the battlefield, I naturally have the confidence to refine you and turn you into my power..."

"Down! On your knees!"

As he spoke.

Dai Chengfeng waved his hand, instantly releasing the restraints of the Innate Geng Metal Qi.

And after losing its restraints, that mass of dark red killing aura erupted in an instant, sweeping toward Dai Chengfeng's spiritual consciousness like a tsunami.

And the instant the two collided, a powerful sensation of impact came rushing in.

In a daze, Dai Chengfeng felt as if he had once again arrived in that mysterious Blood-colored Space.

Beneath his feet were still the familiar heaps of white bones. The air seemed like viscous blood plasma, and the throne and blood-red longsword in the distance had grown clearer than ever. Everything around him was death, destruction, slaughter, silence...

"Maybe this was the path the Asura God walked when he was Becoming a God?"

Looking at this space, Dai Chengfeng guessed inwardly.

Whether that was truly the case, he did not know. After all, he had come to this space inexplicably as well.

But subconsciously, Dai Chengfeng felt it was very possible...

After all, on Douluo Continent, if someone who was not an inheritor of a Divine Position wanted to Become a God, they needed faith. Back then, the Sea God had become a god after obtaining the devout faith of countless beings upon the sea.

Then could the faith of endless undead also allow a person to become a god?

Dai Chengfeng did not know!

Nor did he need to!

After all, just thinking about how eagerly the gods of the God Realm were all trying to pass on their Divine Positions made it clear...

Becoming a God through faith—was that not also a kind of shackle?

The next second.

A White Tiger Spirit with eyes like blood and gold-red lightning coiling around its entire body appeared behind Dai Chengfeng.

He raised his right hand high, and the Innate Geng Metal Qi in his hand condensed into a Gold-Red Blood Spear.

His body rose without wind, until it hung in the Horizon.

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath and looked straight at the majestic "God Seat" in the distance. "I am the White Emperor. I wish to stand above the Peak of All Gods. What I seek is sanctification of the flesh, not becoming the next Asura God, much less some so-called path of faith!"

"You are merely my shackle!"

Roar—!

The White Tiger Spirit raised its head to the sky and let out a thunderous roar!

"Pierce through Him!!!"

In an instant, Dai Chengfeng hurled the Gold-Red Blood Spear in his hand with all his strength.

The Blood Spear carried a fierce momentum and matchless sharpness, like a dazzling gold-red meteor, tearing through the void as it shot toward that mysterious God Seat.

Boom!!!

With a tremendous crash, the Blood Spear struck the "God Seat" head-on.

As though it had sensed Dai Chengfeng's will, that sacred and majestic-looking "God Seat" offered no resistance at all and was pierced through in an instant.

Shattered stone flew everywhere, turning into dust.

And as the "God Seat" broke apart, Dai Chengfeng only felt a flash of light before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the area around him was no longer that Blood-colored Space filled with Death Aura, but his familiar Consciousness Sea.

The killing energy around him, which had originally been bone-chillingly cold and filled with endless malice toward him, now seemed, the instant it saw Dai Chengfeng, as if it were facing an "peerless Fierce God."

They were afraid!

"You're scared?" The corner of Dai Chengfeng's mouth lifted slightly.

Those strands of killing energy were only the lingering instincts of unwilling dead souls, so naturally they would not respond.

But Dai Chengfeng could clearly feel that they... had submitted.

Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng began circulating the Innate Skill.

As expected, that killing energy, which had originally been violent, savage, and filled with boundless malice, was now extremely docile.

Like a beast that had been subdued.

It obediently allowed Dai Chengfeng to absorb it, until it was completely refined and merged into Dai Chengfeng's body.

After he had refined all of this killing energy, Dai Chengfeng felt the Soul Power in his body surge, and his level smoothly rose to rank 24.

"Previously, absorbing the 1,500-year Emperor Blood Tiger Soul Ring beyond the limit raised my Soul Power by three levels. Now, refining this killing energy absorbed from the battlefield has raised me another level..."

"Not bad!"

But just then, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed through Dai Chengfeng's eyes...

He looked at a wisp of ultimate darkness that had appeared out of thin air in his hand, a strange energy that seemed capable of drawing even light into itself.

"What is this?"
