Chapter 762: Eliminate the Void Devourer

After two days of slaughter, during which Ye Feng had killed nearly fifty monsters with divine powers below level 250, he decided to venture deeper. By now, he had mastered the use of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment so well that even by targeting weaknesses alone, his level 177 divine power could be enhanced by 40%, reaching a strength of level 247. Monsters with divine powers below level 250 posed no threat to him at all.

Upon reaching the area inhabited by monsters with divine powers between level 251 and 300, Ye Feng began searching for targets. It took him a little over an hour to find the first one. After killing it, he continued to wander through the area, but soon his pace slowed down. His instincts, honed through years of combat, told him that he was being watched. Ye Feng didn’t know where those eyes came from, and he couldn’t use soul detection in this forest. Yet he was certain that those watching him were not monsters. He had killed many monsters in this forest, and they wouldn’t resort to such sneaky tactics—they would attack as soon as they sensed an intruder. As for the one tracking him secretly, it was unlikely to be a strong member of the human faction. The only possible explanation was the foreign faction.

Among the foreign faction, there was no one with a divine power integration level between 251 and 300. It was also unlikely for a Soul Devourer at level 300 or above to appear in this area, as there were no points to be gained. Thus, the most likely candidate was the second-strongest person in their faction, whose divine power integration was said to be around level 230. It wasn’t unusual for him to enter an area above level 251. However, it wasn’t impossible that it was one of the two individuals with divine power integration above level 180—though the chances for those two were much lower.

Having roughly figured out the identity of his opponent, Ye Feng smirked slightly and suddenly increased his flying speed. In just a few breaths, he pushed his speed to its limit. He knew that by doing this, his opponent would surely come out to stop him.

As expected, a voice soon came from behind him, “Hmph, not bad. You managed to sense my presence.”

“Hey, is there really someone?” Ye Feng pretended to be surprised. “I just felt prey not far ahead, so I sped up. Your presence isn’t as strong as you think…”

Seeing that he had forced his opponent out, Ye Feng slowly came to a stop.

“Sharp-tongued.” The man was a powerful member of the Devouring Clan. “What, realizing you can’t escape, so you just give up?”
“You’re from the Devouring Clan, right?” Ye Feng didn’t answer his question but asked instead.
“That’s how outsiders call us,” the man nodded. “But we call ourselves the Sky Wolf Clan.”
“Your strength is quite formidable too. You must be at the level of the eldest or second eldest, right?” Ye Feng continued to probe him.
“I know you’re trying to get information from me,” the man laughed. “My name is Shi Kong, and I’m the sixth eldest of the Sky Wolf Clan. Among the elders, there are five stronger than me, and three around my level. There’s one more thing I might as well tell you—outsiders think our clan leader is the second-strongest after the eldest, but that’s not true. Our clan leader is even weaker than the third eldest. And among the top three elders, the strongest isn’t the eldest but the second eldest. Our eldest’s powers are roughly on par with yours, Tian Dao. If they truly fought, that old Tian Dao wouldn’t stand a chance. As for our second eldest, he’s been in seclusion, striving to reach a higher level. According to the eldest, his seclusion has been going well, and he’s likely to succeed soon. Once the second eldest emerges, the clan leader will step down automatically, and it won’t be long before we conquer your world. Those like Tian Dao, with decent strength, can still be reduced to slaves, but someone like you—such a minor figure—wouldn’t even be worth enslaving. Anyway, you’re about to perish anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I tell you these things.”
“Thank you for telling me what I wanted to know,” Ye Feng said, unbothered by what the other man had said. “I must solemnly tell you that you’re a decent chatterbox.”
“You’re seeking death!” Shi Kong finally flew into rage. With a slight movement of his feet, he vanished from his original spot and reappeared right in front of Ye Feng.
With a ferocious expression, he reached out, aiming for Ye Feng’s throat.
“Time stop!” Ye Feng calmly uttered those words. Instantly, Shi Kong’s movements froze strangely, his fierce expression stiffened, and his outstretched hand couldn’t move another inch.

On Ye Feng’s forehead, a white crystal suddenly appeared, shooting a swift beam of white light toward Shi Kong’s dantian. That beam of white light managed to penetrate through effortlessly—it was the attack of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, carrying a divine power at level 177, which increased its strength by 50%, reaching level 265. Coupled with the fact that Ye Feng had already identified dantian as a weak point through calculation, this allowed the damage from his divine power to increase by four levels, raising the total damage to level 336. Once the white light penetrated his body, Shi Kong regained his freedom. Before he could react, he found his soul inside his mind shattering piece by piece. “Have I perished?!” That was his last thought before death. Ye Feng caught Shi Kong’s falling body and suddenly sensed his own Devouring Divine Power stirring again. He suppressed that power forcefully and brought Shi Kong’s corpse back to the Refining Realm. Now, the Refining Realm was also an ultimate treasure, with its internal time acceleration increased to ten billion times, comparable to the ultimate treasure that Immortal had lent him before. Upon entering the Refining Realm, the devouring energy within Ye Feng surged outward, covering Shi Kong’s corpse in the blink of an eye. Shi Kong’s corpse was gradually devoured until not even a bone remained, leaving behind a black hole the size of a fist. Although Shi Kong was dead, the black hole continued to function. Ye Feng knew that devouring this black hole would greatly enhance his own Devouring Divine Power. However, his Devouring Divine Power, at only over level 80, was indeed no match for this black hole. This black hole itself had been formed within Shi Kong’s body, containing a Devouring Divine Power at level 230. After repeatedly attempting to absorb energy, all of it was instead devoured by the black hole, leaving Ye Feng speechless. “Well, I’ll give you a hand!” Ye Feng said, activating his highest privilege. With the help of this privilege, it took Ye Feng a full twelve years to completely devour the black hole. Meanwhile, his Devouring Divine Power reached level 200. By this time, Luo Yan and Jin Wen had also completed their cultivation, reaching the level of ninth-tier powerhouses like Ye Feng, thus joining the ranks of the strongest among the human faction. The three of them rested for a while before returning to the secret realm.
