The Demon God fell silent; he never expected that at such a critical moment, Ling Feng would have no complaints about his incorrect judgment. On the contrary, the Demon God sensed an incredible, free-spirited aura from Ling Feng.

"If this boy grows smoothly, his future achievements will be limitless. It’s a pity... he encountered a King Level Void Demon Turtle!" A wave of guilt surged through the Demon God’s heart. He hadn’t expected a King Level Void Demon Turtle to appear on the outskirts of the Demon Controlling Battlefield!

Ling Feng’s body was relentlessly being pressed into the ground; his feet were crushed into a bloody mess, his thighs snapped at a bizarre angle, and his entire body was nearly buried into the earth.

Just as even the Demon God was about to give up, a faint call suddenly echoed from afar, carrying an unparalleled majesty, as though conveying something.

Ling Feng instantly felt a lightness over his body, the Void Demon Turtle unexpectedly abandoning its attempt to kill Ling Feng, slowly flying toward the direction of the voice.

"Saved?" Ling Feng collapsed to the ground, his situation extremely dire, with no place on his body intact. Fortunately, Ling Feng’s vitality was strong, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.

"Big Brother Ling!" At this moment, Xiao Xi anxiously rushed over, threw herself beside Ling Feng, and tightly grasped Ling Feng’s hand, wanting to extract the Void Demon’s power from Ling Feng’s body.

Ling Feng shook his head slowly: "Xiao Xi, no need. What I need now are external injuries; let me rest for a bit."

Xiao Xi nodded, but still did not release Ling Feng’s hand, looking at Ling Feng with worried eyes.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He now surveyed his body, finding it resembling a paste-like mixture, with many places crushed into a bloody mess due to the previous pressure; his internal organs also severely damaged.

"Ling Feng, your injuries are severe; it will take at least a whole day to recover!" The Demon God’s voice rang in Ling Feng’s ear.

Ling Feng replied somewhat helplessly: "What else can be done? I can only hope no Void Demons pass by during this day!"

"Although it’s difficult,..." The Demon God sighed, "Ling Feng, this was my mistake. I hadn’t considered this Void Demon Turtle to be a King Level. But what’s puzzling is, there shouldn’t be such a level of Void Demon here, and... I’m also very confused by that voice just now!"

Ling Feng chuckled bitterly: "Demon God, let’s discuss this matter once I’ve completely recovered. Right now, I just want to recover as quickly as possible. After all, this is the Demon Controlling Battlefield; who knows when a new danger might emerge!"

Perhaps due to the heavy presence left by the Void Demon Turtle earlier, no other Void Demons passed by during the entire day.

"I’m finally healed!" Ling Feng spent an entire day recovering and finally returned to his former self.

Having escaped a disaster, Ling Feng discovered that despite his increased strength, he still lagged significantly compared to the top-level Void Demons!

If he couldn’t even contend with the Void Demon Turtle, then what about facing countless Void Demons on the Void Path?

With these thoughts, a determined look flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes: "Demon God, I need more battles, I need to absorb the Power of the Demon God within me faster!"

The Demon God, observing Ling Feng’s determined gaze, also replied solemnly: "Alright, I will fully support you. I believe you will surely bring a different result!"

Ling Feng turned his gaze to Xiao Xi, who had been caring for him all day, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Xi, I’m next going to advance deeper into the Demon Controlling Battlefield. There’ll definitely be battles like before. I can’t guarantee your safety, nor even my own. So... you need to think it through!"

Xiao Xi smiled: "From the moment I began following Big Brother Ling, I was certain! Moreover, the voice in my heart has always told me to keep moving forward! I hesitated before out of fear, but with Big Brother Ling, I dared muster the courage to take that step!"

"So, I won’t leave Big Brother Ling’s side. If I can help him, if I can be with Big Brother Ling, I’m already very happy!"

Seeing Xiao Xi’s sincere look, Ling Feng nodded: "Alright, you’ve made your choice, so let’s continue moving forward!"

Over a month transformed Xiao Xi from a timid, fearful girl into someone braver.

Over the next half year, Ling Feng constantly fought. His injuries never fully healed, and Xiao Xi stayed by Ling Feng’s side, witnessing Ling Feng’s purgatory-like battles for over half a year.

With a bang! When Ling Feng sliced off the head of a High-Level Void Demon and absorbed its Crystal Core, his strength successfully broke through to the ninth level demon, and at this moment, Ling Feng felt like he stepped into a strange domain.

"This is... the Origin Power of the Phantom Demon Continent?" Ling Feng felt waves of law surges in the surrounding air, as countless Origin Power continuously poured into Ling Feng’s body.

"Didn’t expect you reached the ninth level demon’s strength in only half a year!" The Demon God said with emotion: "You must have realized as well, above the ninth level demon, you can perceive the Power of Laws of the Phantom Demon Continent, and can command the Elemental Power of it!"

Ling Feng nodded: "I also feel it. I now understand, there’s a chasm-like gap between the ninth level and eighth level!"

"If I face the Void Demon Turtle again now, I definitely won’t be as miserable as before!" Ling Feng’s eyes held a resolute expression.

The Demon God chuckled, naturally, the power of the ninth level demon entirely differs from the eighth level! Moreover, Ling Feng has absorbed a significant portion of the Power of the Demon God; facing the Void Demon Turtle again, who knows who would win or lose!

"However..." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel a considerable portion of the Power of the Demon God still in my body, but I can’t absorb it smoothly. What’s the reason?"

The Demon God answered: "That’s because your current body isn’t capable of supporting the absorption of all the Power of the Demon God! You see, the Power of the Demon God is coveted even by the Demon King; without a strong physique, you can’t bear its full power."

Ling Feng clenched his fists, feeling his physical strength: "My physical power can’t bear it? It seems I need to enhance my physical strength again!"

The Demon God seemed to sense Ling Feng’s mood: "Ling Feng, what do you intend to do?"

"To enhance my physical strength, the most extreme method is to absorb a large number of Crystal Cores from Void Demons, and we happen to know where there are plenty of Crystal Cores!"
