The night was about to fall, and after almost a whole day, Chen Feng had explored about half of the islandâs land.
The deaths of the Behemoth, countless beasts, and insects in the blaze had left this once vibrant island in a state of desolation and dusk within a day.
There was too much slaughter.
Chen Feng resembled the dark tales from certain dimensions, where demons tore through dimensions and led dark legions towards the human world.
The wealthy island had turned into a sea of blood.
The beautiful land was piled high with corpses.
Unlike those stories where justice often triumphs over evil, on this island, evil ultimately achieved an overwhelming victory.
Chen Feng not only destroyed the Cannibal Earthwormsâ lair, he didnât even spare some giant batsâ nests. These creatures resembled pterosaurs and liked to swoop down, using their claws to grab their prey, then carry them into the sky.
The common practice was to drop them alive from a height to let them fall to their deaths. But sometimes exceptions were made, perhaps to increase the courage of the young, they would sever the tendons of their preyâs limbs before throwing them into the nest, allowing the fledglings to tear them apart at will.
This strange species was destroyed by the legion led by Chen Feng. When the Demon and Martial Cannon blasted the cave, the sight of giant bats blocking out the sun was truly spectacular.
The meat, minerals, and caught creatures were necessities motivating the Orderâs warriors to keep fighting. Everyone involved could receive a generous share.
The natives and the Order divided by force. For this time, to adapt to the mountainous terrain, Chen Feng brought more than thirty natives, led by the newly subdued Gray Wolf, a man of prestige among the natives.
Gray Wolf looked at the orderly humans and then at the smoke-covered crowd of his subordinates, his eyebrows tightened. He was long accustomed to his tribeâs way of dividing spoils, but after seeing the so-called rules of humans, he felt an inexplicable regret.
The reason was simple: his side was utterly defeated.

"Wei Xun, do you want to become stronger?"
While cutting a piece of the Behemothâs flesh and grilling it over the fire, Chen Feng spoke lightly.
Wei Xun, who had participated in numerous bloody battles, carried a ruthless aura, but in front of Chen Feng, he notably restrained himself, half-bowing his back, refraining from showing pride.
Chen Feng revealed a signal.
This undoubtedly made Wei Xunâs breath quicken. With the emergence of Lu Wei representing the Dark Department, the Order was silently changing.
Wei Xun was very powerful, not just in strength, but also in experience, being from the earliest group that followed Chen Feng. He wielded considerable influence within the Order.
Yet the Orderâs constant evolution left everyone feeling uneasy, especially someone like Wei Xun. If he relaxed even slightly, those relentless young wolves would come out, eager to seize everything he had.
Wei Xun was ambitious and adept at recognizing opportunities. With continuous battles, his loyalty to Chen Feng nurtured his growth. Becoming stronger was precisely what he longed for.
Taking a deep breath.
Wei Xun looked at Chen Feng, eyes burning with intensity, and spoke, "My lord, I..."
"Youâve been with me for some time; I will grant you an opportunity. The power of these two Beasts surpasses your imagination. What you can gain from them depends on your own fortune."
Chen Feng stated calmly.
With approval from Chen Feng, Wei Xunâs heart pounded like a war drum. At that moment, he knelt on one knee, and though he said not a single word, his eyes conveyed deep gratitude.
Hundred Beasts Divine General.
Wei Xun had already discovered some of the secrets of usurping othersâ powers. By devouring more and more Power of the Soul, his strength could grow without limits.
Wei Xun had already reached the Silver Peak.
Within the Order, it wasnât that there were no beasts to devour; it was that his power had reached a barrier. These ordinary beasts were completely ineffective for a breakthrough. Unless... he acquired an extraordinarily powerful soul to surpass the limits and step into a new realm.
And now...
What Chen Feng intended to do was precisely this.
Bestowing the soul of the Golden Behemoth upon Wei Xun, if he can inherit the monsterâs soul and then integrate it with previous souls, it might lead to a complete metamorphosis.
And this was why Wei Xun was so excited.
Wei Xun placed his hands on the heads of the two Behemoths; in an instant, he witnessed two twisted souls appear before him. Behind him, his warped spirit body, having integrated too many animal traits, resembled a mad dog, devouring the two souls swiftly.
With closed eyes, Wei Xunâs body trembled slightly; having absorbed such terrifying energy, he needed time to truly integrate it with himself.
The utilization of the Behemothâs remains was far from over.
Having rejected the Inferior Demonâs request, for Chen Feng, the corpse before him was for more than summoning or feeding the Inferior Demon. His purpose was to support the Undead Mage.
The Undead Mage hadnât been well lately. Although it had stepped into the Golden Tier, in the Bone Plain, there were hundreds of ranked lords. In pursuit of power and status, it had launched campaigns without hesitation. Perhaps things had been going too smoothly, leading to a misjudgment of its opponentâs strength.
As a result, it had been engaged in a month-long confrontation with adversaries within the Bone Plain.
Though Chen Feng couldnât personally be there in the Bone Plain, he could provide the Undead Mage with some strong creaturesâ flesh. With these two pure savage creatures, one could imagine that transforming them into zombies or skeletons might enhance the Undead Mageâs chances of winning.
Of course, aside from the Golden Behemothâs body, this island was also among Chen Fengâs gains. The volcano only erupted for a dozen minutes before ceasing, and soon, the island returned to its usual tranquility.
A round of exploration.
The vitality of this island far surpassed other places.
Planting food here might yield double the produce compared to other lands.
Transformation.
That was Chen Fengâs plan.
Compared to when the Golden Behemoth ruled, the islandâs barrenness and savagery, now with Chen Feng occupying this land, he had a bolder vision.
To transform this island.
It seemed mad but worth a try.
