A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

"What kind of bird is this?" Feng Jiutian asked in surprise. He reached out and grabbed the black egg by the back of its collar, trying to shake off the dragon core, but to no avail.

"Squeak squeak squeak..." Black Egg squeaked and squeaked as it was being flung around. Finally, it pecked Feng Jiutian's hand hard and, as if in a fit of pique, hid inside the Void Spirit Cauldron!

Jiuyao glanced at the horn in Feng Jiutian's hand and asked casually, "Hey, do you want to refine it? This young lady will take pity on you and protect you!"

Let Feng Jiutian know how good I am, and then send that black egg back to where it came from, so it won't take her place later! Hmph!

Feng Jiutian nodded: "Let's find a quiet place first so I can extract the elements from it."

Finally, Feng Jiutian found a cave. Xuanji Zi and Jiu Yao went outside to guard it for Feng Jiutian. Although the tenth floor seemed peaceful, Xuanji Zi still maintained a cautious attitude.

Inside the cave, Feng Jiutian raised his horns, which resembled electric drills but constantly emitted purple electric sparks. Even from afar, one could sense the might of heaven emanating from these horns.

Feng Jiutian's face darkened. He circulated his energy from his dantian, causing the five colors of light within his body to rotate. Apart from the water, fire, earth, and wood that had been replaced, only the faintest golden light remained, slowly rotating.

Feng Jiutian guided the golden element to wrap around the horn of the Crimson Thunder Dragon, slowly fusing the elemental power within. However, as she channeled it into her body, a sharp pain shot through her meridians!

A metallic taste of blood welled up at the corner of his mouth, and a sharp, electric-like pain shot through his veins!

Hold it in.

Feng Jiutian reminded herself that if she wanted to become stronger, she had to be able to endure hardship!

Feng Jiutian was unaware that the lightning carried by the Crimson Thunder Dragon's horns belonged to the Heavenly Dao. The sky inside the Phoenix Tower was merely an illusion, but the lightning was real, because the Phoenix Tower had developed its own laws!

The Crimson Thunder Beast possesses ancient bloodline and grows within the Phoenix Tower. It is a species within the laws of the Phoenix Tower, and its lightning power originates from the Heavenly Dao that is self-derived within the Phoenix Tower!

The power of lightning, which belongs to the laws of nature, is something that ordinary people cannot tolerate.

The pain became increasingly obvious, and Feng Jiutian could hardly hold on any longer. However, before she could complete a full cycle, she calmed down and slowly guided the flow of energy. Her whole body felt as if she had been pulled out of the water, and she was covered in sweat!

"what!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Feng Jiutian let out a wail, then clenched his teeth tightly and made no more sound.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but Feng Jiutian's initial stinging sensation gradually turned into excruciating pain, eventually leading to this mysterious state.

It seemed as if she was the only person in the world.

In the vast expanse of the starry sea, amidst the boundless Milky Way and the immense universe, she floated alone, gazing down upon the countless beings in the sky.

Road.

What is Tao?

Question your heart, and you will become a god?

No.

wrong.

A voice asked, "And what path do you follow?"

My path?

For the first time, Feng Jiutian felt a sense of emptiness, as if her heart was empty... Her Dao?

“That’s right, it’s your path,” the voice said again.

Feng Jiutian raised his hand and tried to clench his fist. He felt a surging power, as if he could destroy this sea of ​​stars and crush a planet with a wave of his hand.

But deep down, she always felt that something was missing.

What is it?

Feng Jiutian was confused for a while. The voice did not reappear. Feng Jiutian sat on the sea of ​​stars and meditated.

until that moment.

She suddenly thought of the Seventh Prince, Xuanji Zi, her grandfather, Jiu Yao, the people who had always been with her in the Royal Academy, and also... that prodigy.

No, that monster isn't it.

He is not my path.

"You are denying your true self," the voice said again.

I do not have.

Feng Jiutian pictured the Seventh Prince, who sat in a wheelchair, was somewhat taciturn, and easily overlooked.

That's the person she wanted to protect, the one she had promised to keep.

Suddenly, the image of the Feng family mother and daughter from the Prime Minister's mansion resurfaced in his mind, and bloody scenes unfolded in his mind.

kill.

Endless carnage.

"Rampage, is that your way?"

No.

not like this.

Feng Jiutian felt something was wrong. The rule of the world is that the strong are respected, but she also disliked the idea of ​​bloodshed everywhere. This was not what she wanted.

She's not a saint, but Feng Jiutian longs for warmth.

Just like... the Seventh Prince, peaceful.

That's right!

"My path is to protect!" Feng Jiutian shouted.

"Wrong!" the stern voice shouted. "Answering against one's conscience, what's the point of such protection? Whom can it protect, and what good is it!"

Feng Jiutian was stunned. Before he could ask who the voice was, he heard the indifferent voice say, "Since you can touch the edge, then I'll give you a mark!"

As Feng Jiutian spoke, his consciousness vanished, and his divine sense was repelled by an extremely powerful force. In a flash, the scene before his eyes transformed into a cave.

She held the horn in her hand, but the horn no longer possessed the power of the lightning element. Feng Jiutian clenched her fist again and found that her body was full of energy. She closed her eyes and looked inward. The golden element in her dantian was actually mixed with 30% purple lightning. The lightning-infused golden element was flowing through her meridians and Feng Jiutian could not feel any pain.

It felt like my skin was peeling off when I imported it earlier...

Feng Jiutian thoughtfully summoned the dagger, infused it with gold elements, and suddenly this ordinary dagger became extraordinary, with lightning crackling around the blade, faintly exuding an aura that could cleave the heavens and earth!

Is lightning also gold?

Feng Jiutian thoughtfully put away the dagger, stood up, dusted himself off, and went outside.

"Ok?"

Jiuyao was stunned for a moment when he saw Feng Jiutian.

“Girl, you…” Xuanji Zi looked at Feng Jiutian, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Feng Jiutian felt somewhat confused: "What's wrong? Just say what you want to say."

Jiuyao suppressed a laugh: "You have a mark on your head!"

“It looks like a black egg,” Xuanji Zi added, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.

Feng Jiutian paused for a moment, then took out the fine snow and polished it. He could clearly see the shrunken black egg on his forehead, with its wings spread out. The black wings had three fluorescent blue feathers and a tail crest that were exactly the same.

silence

Infinite silence.

Then Xuanji Zi and Jiu Yao were both driven into the Void Spirit Cauldron. Feng Jiutian took out a two-foot-wide white headband and tied it on his head to cover the mark.

Feng Jiutian found it rather strange how this mark came about; its appearance was too peculiar.

However, since her cultivation level was still at the peak of the Venerable Master realm and had not changed, Feng Jiutian didn't think too much about it. It was just a mark, and he would find a way to remove it later.

After searching the tenth floor again, Feng Jiutian stepped into the blue light circle without hesitation and left the Phoenix Tower!

On the tenth floor, inside the attic, the giant water sphere reflected Feng Jiutian's departing figure without hesitation. Mo Shaoxie, wearing a silver-white mask, raised an eyebrow slightly and sighed, "This woman really doesn't... care about me at all."

Guard: "..." Are you hoping to be teased by you?
