"Seize someone else's World Spirit?"
"How exactly do you seize one? Turn their World Spirit into yours directly?" the Queen asked.
"That's right, exactly like that," Chu Feng nodded.
"But what if they don't obey?" the Queen asked. After all, World Spirits were different from secret skills or martial techniques — they possessed their own consciousness and were true living beings.
"If they refuse to obey, I can seal their spiritual intelligence. Their abilities remain intact, but they become like puppets under my command," Chu Feng said.
"Oh my, now that's genuinely interesting." The Queen's beautiful eyes went wide, the grin on her face turning positively excited. Such a domineering method was right up her alley.
But she quickly thought of something and pouted. "Are there any limitations?"
Limitations. Chu Feng's secret skill was, all things considered, borderline heaven-defying. If there were no restrictions, it would be truly terrifying. But the path of martial cultivation had its own laws and rules — the more heaven-defying the method, the greater the restrictions that inevitably came with it.
"I can't say for certain, since I haven't had the chance to test it yet. The ability is powerful, but it probably isn't that easy to pull off — otherwise it would break the rules of cultivation."
"My guess is, first of all, anyone with a higher cultivation than mine wouldn't be someone I could even attempt this on. It would only be necessary against opponents of similar level."
"But it also depends on how strong the opponent is on their own. If they have a thorough mastery of their martial skills, or if their bond with their World Spirit is particularly strong, it could still fail."
"Bottom line — without actually trying it, I can't say for certain it'll work," Chu Feng explained.
"Well, this Queen can barely contain herself. I'm dying to see what your secret skill looks like when it truly plunders someone else's abilities."
"Chu Feng, why don't you find someone to test it on?" The Queen rubbed her hands together, brimming with anticipation.
"My Queen, I can't just pick some random person off the street to experiment on," Chu Feng said.
"So what? Just give them some compensation afterward," the Queen replied.
Chu Feng was somewhat at a loss for words. He didn't consider himself a strictly good person, but he did have his principles. Plundering someone else's martial skills without cause was something he simply couldn't bring himself to do.
At the very least, he needed to judge that the person was in the wrong by his own standards before he could make a move against them.
But truth be told, Chu Feng himself was curious to witness the power of his secret skill.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Oh right, Dandan — I can actually test it on myself."
"Test it on yourself?" The Queen looked stunned. "How would you test it on yourself?"
"My dear Dandan, do you perhaps remember the Demon Lord Incarnation?" Chu Feng said with a grin.
"Of course I remember. Wasn't it that Blood Devouring Demon Lord who taught you that secret skill? The guy was outrageably arrogant — called you trash left and right back then. To this day he still refuses to let you control him. He won't even acknowledge you."
Just mentioning the Demon Lord Incarnation put a sour look on the Queen's face.
But soon her expression changed. Her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"Don't tell me — your secret skill can forcibly take control of that guy?" the Queen asked.
"Theoretically, it should be possible, but I can't be sure. That's exactly why I want to test it."
As he spoke, Chu Feng activated his secret skill — Dark Plunder. A bizarre, dark-black flame began seeping out from within his body.
But this time it was completely different from before.
Previously, when Chu Feng had unleashed the dark-black flame as an attack, its range had spanned no more than ten meters.
Now, the dark-black flame pouring out from his body was massive in scale — its height alone reached a full hundred meters, and the grand hall they were in was also only a hundred meters tall.
If not for the confinement of the hall, the flame's spread would have been even more vast.
And accompanying the dark-black flame was an enormous figure.
Its stature also reached a hundred meters in height.
At such close range, Chu Feng looked incredibly tiny before it.
It was entirely blue, its body covered in wound-like crimson marks.
But it was not human — it was a demon.
Though it had a humanoid build, two massive horns jutted from its head.
They were colossal horns, like those of a musk ox — and they were so large they nearly matched the height of the creature's own body.
And on its back sprouted a pair of enormous wings, vast bat-like wings.
