NOVPUBXia Feng, while refining Lord Peach Blossom, flickered in thought, his gaze scanning the situation at the bottom of the Refining God Tower.
The Evil Blood Mist at the base of the tower continued to condense, the Evil Heart Demon Blood also went from the original 2 drops, becoming 3 drops, 4 drops, 5 drops!
Under the guidance of Xia Feng’s thoughts, these five red and golden blood beads quickly rose into the air, flying before Xia Feng.
At the same time, he tapped a few times on Lord Peach Blossom’s forehead, snatching 3 drops of Evil Heart Demon Blood, accumulated from Lord Peach Blossom’s nine cycles of reincarnation.
In this way, adding those in storage at the Refining God Tower to those from Lord Peach Blossom’s possession, a total of eight drops of Evil Heart Demon Blood.
Xia Feng did not hesitate and took them all into his heart.
"Thump thump thump!!"
His heart beat like a war drum, blood in his body boiling and expanding.
As droplets of Demon Blood seeped into his heart, Xia Feng could feel his soul trembling crazily, a sense of satisfaction and elation rolling in waves towards the sky dome, reaching unprecedented pinnacles.
[Heart repair progress: 14.8176%]
[16%↑]
[18%↑]
[....]
[24%↑]
The soaring sensation made Xia Feng somewhat breathless for a moment, the nerves on his forehead dancing wildly like in a colorful nightclub, his field of vision also turning into a swirling flow of rainbow lights, he didn’t know how to describe this bizarre and exhilarating feeling.
His entire being, his entire consciousness, as if drifting in the soft and tender paradise of clouds, ascended.
[26%↑]
[30.9009%↑]
The mad surge in repair progress finally stopped near 31%, Xia Feng swallowed saliva, unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Previously, it took nearly a year of hard work in the Empire to get the repair progress to 14%.
Originally, going from 14 to 40 felt far out of reach, but now it seems, it’s not so difficult after all.
From 14 to 30.9, not only did it double directly, but it also exceeded by two percentage points; now only 9 percentage points away from the 40% threshold needed to activate the Fourth Demon Ability!
It must be said that this venture into the Evil Demon Sea reaped massive benefits, not only speeding up the repair progress but also obtaining the Refining God Tower, far exceeding Xia Feng’s expectations.
As for the last 9 percentage points, that would require him to find other methods.
However, in fact, Xia Feng had thought of a fail-safe method, using the Original Divine Power refined from Lord Peach Blossom to have Miss Mu use the Heavenly Destiny Stone and make a direct wish for Evil Heart Demon Blood....
"Ants! Ants!!"
Lord Peach Blossom watched with wide eyes as the Evil Heart Demon Blood entered Xia Feng’s brow and disappeared, infuriating him to the point of wanting to kill.
But ultimately, Lord Peach Blossom calmed his emotions and closed his eyes to cool down; the Tower Crystal in this human’s hands was insufficient to fully refine him, so there was still a chance to turn the tables.
After all, ants are destined to take the Refining God Tower and leave the Evil Demon Sea!
Once free from the restrictions of the Life and Death Sealing, he, Lord Peach Blossom, could still escape and be reborn!
Xia Feng, of course, understood this principle as well.
But unfortunately, Lord Peach Blossom still underestimated the power of the Refining God Tower.
As time passed, finally, a small sphere made up of several golden fragments emerged slowly from Lord Peach Blossom’s brow, forcibly extracted before his astonished gaze!
This shattered and disconsolate small sphere was the physical manifestation of his shattered divine essence, now forcibly separated by the Refining God Tower. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Xia Feng was indeed unable to fully refine the broken divine essence, but he could first separate it from Lord Peach Blossom, thus, preventing Lord Peach Blossom from leveraging Original Divine Power to commence his Divine Tribulation and be reborn.
After that, Xia Feng had all the time to slowly refine and thoroughly kill Lord Peach Blossom, a difficult-to-slay entity.
In this light, the Refining God Tower is actually an unparalleled artifact for imprisoning gods!
Not to mention entities of Divine Level, even Wise Man Level existences can’t be killed by ordinary means. But Xia Feng could imprison such powerful beings with the Refining God Tower, allowing the terrifying Blood Beasts within to gradually erode the opponent’s will, separate their origin, then refine and erode them to death.
Of course, all these operations assume that the other party, like Lord Peach Blossom, is completely incapacitated and unable to resist.
In practice, it is still tremendously difficult.
Xia Feng estimated that it was unlikely he would stumble upon a situation like today’s again in the future.
It would be critical to strive to enhance one’s own strength... Ah, that’s wrong, it should be to have Miss Mu strive to enhance her strength.
One could not expect to always be like today, where powerhouses clash and he, a mere weakling, reaps the spoils.

Outside the tower.
In the void, on top of the bridge of chains, only two living creatures remained.
The spider-man stood behind She Pan, his gaze filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wondering why, being a follower of the Bone-faced Evil God just like himself, he hadn’t had such good fortune.
If he had been chosen by the Bone-faced Evil God and bestowed with divine power, She Pan wouldn’t matter at all.
"Lord She Pan, what exactly are the Supremes’ objectives?" the spider-man asked doubtfully, "How much longer must we wait here?"
She Pan gave him a sideways glance, "That’s not for us to know. Just wait."
The spider-man wanted to say more, but at that moment, both of them keenly felt a spatial fluctuation behind them and whipped around.
Suddenly, a colossal bone-white snake pupil had appeared in the high sky behind them, and a woman in a white dress gracefully stepped out from within the vertical slit.
With a cold and exquisite demeanor, her dangerous phoenix eyes surveyed the area beneath the narrow, elongated pupils.
Both the spider-man and She Pan were slightly taken aback, realizing the newcomer’s identity, and knelt on one knee, respectfully bowing their heads, "Great Bone-faced one."
Bai Suxi ignored them, simply tilting up her little face, her snake eyes coldly fixating on the lofty giant tower before her.
The tower was dark and gloomy, its surface crisscrossed with chains that seemed to be cast from bronze, wrapping the tower in a cage-like fashion.
She could sense that inside the tower there were four life presences.
None of these four presences was strong, not appearing as powerful as an Evil Demon should be.
Moreover, with her arrival, the deep tower gates at the center of the tower quietly opened, as if the entity inside was welcoming her arrival.
Inviting her to enter as a guest.
Bai Suxi’s beautiful eyes flickered with a cold light as she narrowed them slightly.
She didn’t rush inside. Instead, she glanced at the spider-man and She Pan and commanded in a light voice, "You two, go in."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, their hearts tense. Were they being sent into the Refining God Tower? Wasn’t that sending them to their death...
Leaving aside whether there were any mysterious powerhouses inside the Refining God Tower, just the thought of those terrifying Blood Beasts, which they couldn’t contend with as weaklings who were not even on the level of a Venerable, was daunting.
"Great Bone-faced one," the spider-man said, his forehead beading with cold sweat as he stepped forward, his expression troubled, "I—"
He barely got a few words out when his speech abruptly stopped. A blinding white light emitted from the spider-man’s eye sockets, ears, and mouth; and in his astonishment and horror, his soul, like an ant being crushed, lightly disintegrated and dissipated.
The kneeling spider-man collapsed, his face upturned, his eyes now dull and empty. He never expected that, having nervously survived till the end of the battle and finally breathing a sigh of relief, he would still die so effortlessly...
Bai Suxi’s face was calm and indifferent, her cold gaze turning to She Pan.
She Pan, shaken, immediately turned and rushed towards the Refining God Tower, fleeing into the dark doorway.
Yet, to She Pan’s surprise, upon entering the tower, he was greeted by the figure of a man who should have been dead.
