"Xian'er, you were quite exhausted last night. You should rest properly! I won't disturb you anymore."
Because Xiao Feng was in a state of losing control last night, his fighting style was inevitably much rougher than usual.
If it weren't for the fact that Little Fairy Doctor had been transformed into a Demon and possessed the ability to regenerate severed limbs, she would surely have been like Queen Medusa, her legs trembling with every step.
"Mm!"
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor obediently nodded.
Although her physical strength and injuries had fully recovered, after a night of intense battle with Xiao Feng, she was still mentally fatigued and indeed needed a good rest.
After returning to his residence, Xiao Feng also released the suppression on his cellular regeneration. His head, which had been beaten to a pulp by Queen Medusa, quickly recovered at a visible rate.
It wasn't that Xiao Feng had a masochistic tendency to keep his injuries, but if he didn't do so, it would be hard to appease Queen Medusa.
After all, Xiao Feng was only out of control last night, not amnesiac. This beating wasn't unjust.
After reminiscing about the pleasures of the night, Xiao Feng began to merge the absorbed worldly malevolence with shadows, creating his own shadow army.
"Sizzle..."
As the worldly malevolence integrated, Xiao Feng's shadow boiled like hot water, and dozens of shadow creatures of various shapes emerged from his shadow.
Since the worldly malevolence Xiao Feng absorbed was primarily composed of human malice, most of the shadow creatures were humanoid.
However, these humanoid shadow creatures mostly bore some animalistic features, resembling more of transformed magical beasts.
After more than half an hour of testing, Xiao Feng gained a detailed understanding of creating a shadow army using worldly malevolence.
Firstly, the number of the shadow army. Although the malevolence in the world is endless, the amount Xiao Feng can absorb is limited.
If the worldly malevolence is likened to an ocean, then Xiao Feng is akin to a lake; he can only absorb as much malevolence as a lake can hold.
Thus, the upper limit of the shadow army's numbers is directly proportional to the amount of malevolence Xiao Feng can absorb.
Currently, Xiao Feng's rate of absorbing worldly malevolence can only sustain the existence of several dozen shadow creatures at the level of Dou Emperor.
With the total amount of malevolence unchanged, if Xiao Feng wants to increase the number of the shadow army, he can only weaken the strength of the shadow creatures.
For example, reducing the strength of the shadow creatures from Dou Emperor level to Dou King level could increase their numbers to several hundred.
Secondly, the strength of these shadow creatures. Perhaps because they are formed from worldly malevolence, they are inherently evil and prone to turning on their master.
When Xiao Feng creates shadow creatures weaker than himself, they completely obey his commands, even to the point of committing suicide without hesitation.
However, if the shadow creatures Xiao Feng creates are stronger than himself, they not only resist his commands but may also attempt to attack him, their master.
Lastly, the shadow creatures possess a strong immortality. Once killed by outsiders, they can resurrect within Xiao Feng's shadow.
Moreover, when these shadow creatures resurrect, Xiao Feng can decide whether to retain their memories based on his will.
If memories are not retained, the shadow creatures become entirely new entities, needing to relearn various skills, whereas retaining memories allows them to continuously learn and grow stronger.
After understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the shadow army, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the nine simulation rewards he had drawn last night.
Items like the Blood Devouring Pearl and Tianya Sword didn't interest him much, so he stored them directly in the system space, planning to study their crafting techniques when he had time.
The reward that truly interested Xiao Feng was [Tian Buyi's Lifetime Cultivation].
"Activate!"
With a silent command in his heart, the golden orb representing [Tian Buyi's Lifetime Cultivation] transformed into a golden light and merged into his body.
"Boom..."
A vast amount of spiritual power suddenly surged within Xiao Feng, prompting him to fully activate the Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon to absorb and refine this power.
After refining all the spiritual power, Xiao Feng's cultivation level skyrocketed from a five-star Dou Emperor to a seven-star Dou Emperor.
Originally, Xiao Feng's cultivation was at the four-star Dou Emperor level, but after absorbing a large amount of worldly malevolence last night, he had already broken through to the five-star Dou Emperor level.
After adapting to the sudden increase in cultivation, Xiao Feng also integrated the skill orbs of [Tian Buyi's Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique Experience] and [Wan Jianyi's Demon Slaying Experience] into his body.
The Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique is one of the four great skills of the Qingyun Sect, capable of harnessing the power of thunder.
When a practitioner uses the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, they can invoke the might of heaven and earth with a mortal body, aided by divine weapons to summon the thunder of the nine heavens, creating a majestic and awe-inspiring force that changes the skies and moves the earth, truly invincible and extraordinarily powerful.
Optimized and improved by the system, the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique was transformed into a mid-level earth rank thunder attribute combat skill.
Wan Jianyi's Slaying the Demon God is a skill of the same level as the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. This sword technique is fiercely positive, using offense as defense, advancing courageously with immense power.
The righteous energy of heaven and earth, vast and enduring, does not seek to slay immortals but to cut down Demons!
After being optimized and improved by the system, Demon Slaying was also transformed into a mid-level earth rank combat skill.
After organizing the additional sword technique memories in his mind, Xiao Feng promptly summoned his character attribute panel, which displayed:
[Name: Xiao Feng]
[Cultivation: Seven-star Dou Emperor]
[Bloodline: Indestructible Demon Body (Four-star Dou Venerate)]
[Domains: God of Slaughter Domain, Dragon Flame Domain]
[Devil Fruits: Glint-Glint Fruit, Azure Dragon Fruit, Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Stone-Stone Fruit]
[Soul Bones: 100,000-year Mirror Spider Right Leg Bone (Mirror)]
[Superpowers: Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki...]
[Techniques: Nine Transformations of the Swirling Dragon (Third Transformation)]
[Combat Skills: Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, Demon Slaying, Underworld King Sword Technique...]
[Merit Points: 28,168,352]
[Simulation Count: 0 (Countdown 29 days)]
Seeing this, Xiao Feng raised his sword-like eyebrows and nodded in satisfaction.
Now, not only has his cultivation broken through to the seven-star Dou Emperor, but after transforming into the "Emperor's Giant," he can unleash strength comparable to a four-star Dou Venerate, earning him a place even in the Central Plains.
Wait! Since the name of the "Emperor's Giant" bloodline has changed to "Immortal Demon Body," the form he takes after transformation should also have a new name.
