Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: The Demon Race
The Demon Race!

Enzo was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected that this bizarre individual was from the extremely rare and mysterious demon race.

According to rumors, members of the demon race are born with powerful innate abilities. This group is the favored children of the world, inhabiting a land of great abundance. However, each demon race member is known for their extremely volatile and murderous nature.

It seemed that the rumors were true.

However, Enzo didn’t understand why Dark, a demon race member, would target him.

Dark, seemingly aware of Enzo’s thoughts, spoke up, “It’s naturally because of your talent! Boy, I must admit, the priest elder from the Golden Lion Tribe had a keen eye. He actually recognized your talent. Unfortunately, he lacked both the strength and the luck.”

“He’s dead now!”

“Now, your body and soul will be mine.”

At that moment, Enzo understood everything.

He asked, “So, you pulled my consciousness into the soul world to occupy my soul and body?”

Dark grinned and said, “Very clever, that is indeed my goal. I can be quite honest with you. As a demon race, I am naturally adept at manipulating souls. In the soul world, you will not be my match. Of course, even in the real world, you wouldn’t be.”

“I brought you here to prevent any possibility of escape.”

“Do you know? ”

“Your talent is incredibly tempting. I constantly feel the urge within me. Once I devour your soul and take over your body, combined with my own demon race bloodline, I will become the most powerful demon race ever, crowned as a king, and rule the entire world!”

Dark was in a state of extreme excitement.

In his fervor, he overlooked Enzo’s calm demeanor.

Enzo was not at all flustered. Instead, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although he wasn’t an expert in spiritual power control, he was confident in the strength of his own soul.

The idea that Dark could defeat him in the soul world was laughable.

However, Enzo didn’t let his guard down. He remained cautious, not wanting to be caught off guard.

After Dark finished speaking, he immediately launched an attack, spewing flames toward Enzo.

Enzo’s consciousness shifted, and a massive sigil descended, enveloping both of them.

As the sigil fell, Dark found himself unable to control the flames, and he asked in astonishment, “What did you do to me?”

Enzo didn’t explain.

In the soul world, many things differed from the real world.

For instance, Enzo was pleasantly surprised to find that the fire sigil he had comprehended could materialize out of thin air and form a special domain, similar to the mental domain used by the Golden Lion Tribe priest.

This domain, which could be called the Flame Domain.

That was allowed only Enzo to control the flames within it.

Dark didn’t understand this; he continued to try but found his ability to control the flames suddenly vanishing.

This made him somewhat anxious.

However, he quickly recovered and snarled, “Do you think I’m done?”

In the next moment, Dark’s hands grew sharp bone claws, glowing with an eerie green light, as if they were imbued with some sort of toxin.

“Die!”

Dark roared, charging at Enzo.

Enzo only dodged and did not attack.

He noticed that his control over his spiritual and soul powers was improving continuously during the battle with Dark.

In other words, Dark is helping him improve.

Seeing that he still couldn’t hit Enzo, Dark, infuriated, roared, “Kid, is dodging all you can do?”

Enzo replied, “If you can’t do it, don’t blame me.”

This made Dark even angrier. He tried other methods, with blood-red mist transforming into various weapons, all aimed at Enzo. Despite his body changing into a massive form like a small mountain, Enzo remained calm and continued to dodge at the last moment, making all of Dark’s attacks miss.

At this point, Dark calmed down.

He realized something was wrong, asking Enzo, “Are you toying with me?”

Enzo smiled and said, “You figured it out.”

“Ahhhhh—You’re dead!”

Learning the truth, Dark was extremely angry.

Enzo’s expression also changed, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.

The next moment, flames erupted from Enzo’s body, and the black wings behind him turned crimson. He flew straight to Dark’s massive arm, exerted force, and tore off one of Dark’s arms, roaring, “If you want to kill me, you’d better die first!”

At this moment, Dark regretted it.

To him, Enzo now seemed even more like a demon race.

The madness and bloodlust in Enzo’s eyes were so terrifying that Dark suddenly understood how others felt facing him.

Dark begged for mercy, but Enzo, now completely consumed by rage, released the suppressed fury of this time, venting his nature like the most brutal butcher.He tore apart Dark’s massive body, leaving only fragments of his body on the ground.

After a long while, Enzo finally recovered.

He walked up to Dark’s head and softly said, “It seems you don’t have the ability to kill me.”

With that, Enzo turned to leave.

But after a few steps, he suddenly stopped, his eyes glowing with a rainbow-colored light.

This was The Eye of All Things, taught by Rexfit, which could reveal the essence of things. At that moment, Enzo saw Dark’s head emitting a blood-red, yet sacred light, and his soul felt a deep craving.

Devour it!

The thought emerged and couldn’t be suppressed.

Without hesitation, Enzo placed his hand on Dark’s head, and a tremendous suction force appeared from his palm, devouring the strange red light within. In that instant, Enzo saw a vivid scene.

It was in a searing underground magma.

A tall demon race man—Dark—sat on a stone-carved throne, holding a human woman in his hands, completely indifferent to her fate.He rudely inserted his penis into the human woman’s body, and as he finished venting, the woman also died directly.

After death, the body was directly thrown into the magma by Dark.

Dark stood up and walked over to a giant egg. This egg was similar to the Beast God egg Enzo had encountered but had no life force.

Dark looked regretful and sighed, “Damn it! Where is the real Beast God egg? If I can devour that Beast God egg, I’ll gain the Beast God’s talent and use it to nurture a Beast God avatar. My growth speed will increase once again!”

Devouring the Beast God and nurturing an avatar?

Dark’s words intrigued Enzo, and the vision ended.

This seemed to be a memory of Dark’s.

With all the red light from Dark’s head devoured, Enzo fully understood what it was and felt immense excitement.

This was Dark’s most secretive ability—avatar nurturing!

As long as he acquired the essence of a powerful being, he could nurture an avatar of that being.

Moreover, as long as one avatar existed, none of the avatars, including the main body, would be completely dead. The only limitations were that the nurtured avatars’ bloodlines could not be much stronger than his own, and he could only nurture up to three avatars.

“No matter what, this is an extremely powerful ability.”

“Now, it’s become my gain.”

Enzo genuinely appreciated Dark and sincerely believed he was a good person.

Most importantly, with Dark’s ability now in his possession, Enzo was able to nurture an avatar, but he was unsure which type to create.

The avatar slots were very valuable and crucial for future development.

Either choosing a lineage with special abilities or a powerful one…

But it seemed none of these were available.

Wait!

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Enzo. He eagerly left the Soul World, not even glancing at Logan’s corpse on the ground, and quickly opened a space portal. He returned to the Crimson Star Tribe camp and rushed back to his residence.

Then, Enzo summoned the Ring of the World totem.

As the totem transformed, a massive life force emerged, and the Tree of Life’s phantom appeared within the Ring of the World.

“It has to succeed!”

Enzo prayed silently.

He concentrated all his power into the Ring of the World, making the Tree of Life’s phantom solidify. As immense energy continued to flow in, one leaf of the Tree of Life finally became tangible, formed from condensed life energy.

Would it succeed?

Enzo asked himself once again.

However he couldn’t be sure.

This was a sudden idea—he wanted to form the Tree of Life as an avatar.

Essentially, the Tree of Life also has a form of life.

With excitement, Enzo’s palm glowed red as he enveloped the leaf.

But as time passed, the leaf wrapped in the red light remained still, even showing signs of withering.

Was it about to fail?

Feeling disappointed, Enzo was about to withdraw the red light when the Ring of the World suddenly shifted again.

The previously solidified Tree of Life phantom vanished and was replaced by an immensely large tree, seemingly growing in the starry sky, with round fruits hanging from its branches, like worlds unto themselves.

This was…
