Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 275: Ents of Darkness City

After the Phoenix died, it burned itself to ashes, leaving behind only a pile of feathers. Each of these feathers was several tens of centimeters long, lustrous black, and emitted strong energy fluctuations, clearly very precious materials.

[Black Phoenix Feather] Orange-grade low-quality material.

Zhang Nu didn't expect that the feathers left by the phoenix would all be epic-grade materials, theoretically capable of being crafted into epic equipment. He stored all the feathers in his spatial ring.

Unfortunately, even as a divine beast, the phoenix didn't drop anything like Godhood. This was somewhat expected, though; while divine beasts possess some divinity, they are not true gods. Even Zhang Nu couldn't condense a godhood himself, so how could the Black Phoenix, being a weaker entity than him, manage to do so? He hadn't harbored much hope to begin with, so there wasn't much disappointment.

Zhang Nu didn't immediately go back to meet with the ents but instead took Nancilia, Zhang San, and Li Si to find the phoenix's nest. As expected, within the Phoenix's nest, there were many precious materials. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all covered with a type of blood-red crystal. This crystal, similar in appearance to a coral-shaped crystal, was filled with rich life energy and bloodline power.

[Phoenix Blood Crystal] Orange-grade high-quality material

Description: This rare material, formed from the Phoenix's blood essence over tens of thousands of years, can be used to repair permanent injuries, stimulate one's bloodline potential power, or enhance it.

"These are some good items," Zhang Nu commented as he waved his hand, using his psychic power to instantly collect all the blood crystals in the cave. Phoenix Blood Crystals cannot be preserved for long periods. Without the continuous nourishment of a phoenix, their effects will gradually weaken, so it's best to use them as soon as possible.

He asked Zhang San and Li Si to guard the area nearby and kept Nancilia in the cave. To the young Elven King, the Demon King said, "These crystals can greatly benefit you by activating the bloodline powers within you that have not yet fully awakened. Prepare yourself, and I will assist you in using these crystals."

Nancilia was very expectant, "Really? Thank you, Your Majesty! But how should we do this?"

The Demon King seriously said, "You need to take off your clothes."

Nancilia's face turned red, "Ah?"

The Demon King explained matter-of-factly, "Do you plan to eat all these blood crystals? They need to be absorbed directly through the body!"

"Oh!"

Although the young Elven King was somewhat embarrassed, her absolute trust and loyalty to the Demon King meant she did not undergo much internal struggle before she removed her clothes. Zhang Nu couldn't help but take a few extra glances. Despite her youthful appearance, her body was incredibly perfect, like a work of art, filled with natural grace and feminine beauty.

Without lingering, he took out one-fifth of the blood crystals, which was more than enough for the young Elven King. Zhang Nu activated his dragon flame to melt the blood crystals into a mass of scorching, molten material. He controlled this substance to envelop Nancilia's body. Though the temperature of the melted blood crystals was extremely high, Nancilia, being a Level 6 Elven King, had a constitution and resistance strong enough to withstand this heat.

The moment she was enveloped by the blood crystals, Nancilia could clearly feel her physique undergoing changes, absorbing the energy contained within the blood crystals like a sponge. At the same time, the dormant bloodline power within her, as if suddenly awakened, became extraordinarily active. Every cell, every organ, all her flesh released energy, allowing her to feel herself rapidly becoming stronger as new abilities, knowledge, and power emerged continuously. An invisible bottleneck was finally broken at this moment.

Zhang Nu closely monitored Nancilia's transformation. As he covered the young Elven King's body with the molten blood crystals, the material quickly solidified, almost turning her into a statue. Meanwhile, the color of the crystalline shell began to fade rapidly, changing from deep red to blood red, and finally to a pale red, as all the substance and essence within were absorbed by Nancilia's body.

After a few minutes, cracks started to appear on the surface of the crystal statue. A tremendously powerful aura was released from within. In the next moment, there was a violent explosion, and the entire statue shattered. Nancilia's body re-emerged into the air, enveloped in a layer of dreamlike aura, her waist-length silver hair dancing wildly, resembling the arrival of a Goddess of Nature, breathtakingly beautiful yet inspiring no lust.

It was a success!

Zhang Nu looked at Nancilia, and her relevant information quickly surfaced.

[Elven Empress Nancilia] Level 6 mythic unit. HP 15,400, MP 34,800, Strength 355, Agility 849, Constitution 615, Will 5024, Loyalty 99%.

Skill: Elven Empress (Talent), Divine Tree Sanctuary (Talent), Goddess of Nature's Chosen (Talent), Saintess of Life (Talent), Omni-Magic (Talent), Elven Empress Aura (Talent), Empress's Elemental Covenant (Talent), Empress's Nature Pact (Talent), Starlight Shield (S rank), Elven Sealing Art (S rank), Elven Blessing Art (S rank), Elven Barrier (S rank), Nature Summoning (S rank), Supreme Teleportation (S rank), etc.

Description: An Elf Empress blessed by the Goddess of Nature, possessing the potential to become a Great Empress, destined to make history and become a legendary figure among the elven race.

Nancilia excitedly jumped in front of Zhang Nu, "My Lord, I've succeeded, I've broken through the shackles of Monarch... I... I seem to have become an Elven Emperor!"

Emperor level was undoubtedly a higher tier of existence compared to king level. When the Giantree Tribe discovered Nancilia's great potential to become an Elven King, they highly valued her and protected her to become the leader of the Giantree City. Who could have thought that Nancilia would not only become an Elven King but has now rightfully become an Elven Emperor! With Nancilia's current Level 6 mythic strength, she can definitely compete with the Succubus Queen Han Kexin, and has now become the second most powerful being after Han Kexin.

Zhang Nu was very satisfied, "Well done, you didn't disappoint me. It seems that our trip here was not in vain!"

Nancilia quickly said, "Thank you, my Lord, for giving me such a great opportunity. Otherwise, I don't know how much time and cost it would take to fully awaken my bloodline!"

To this, Zhang Nu disagreed. In fact, even without the Phoenix Blood Crystal, he could have helped Nancilia level up using the Demon King's Baptism. However, compared to the Demon King's Baptism, the Blood Crystal not only stimulated potential but also strengthened the bloodline power, further increasing Nancilia's limit. Now it seems that the effect was very good, and the goal was easily achieved.

Zhang Nu said, "You should put your clothes on first."

Nancilia, still caught up in her excitement, only realized after hearing this that she had been without clothes. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she hurriedly dressed herself.

"Let's go."

Zhang Nu led Nancilia and Zhang San and Li Si, who had been guarding outside, away from the Phoenix Nest and back to the forest of the ents.

When Grootroot saw Nancilia, the ancient ent was in disbelief, "You... you've actually made a breakthrough!"

How could this happen so quickly? Just a short while ago, this Elven King was still just that, an Elven King. But in just half a day, she had transformed into a genuine and majestic Elven Emperor!

Nancilia proudly said, "This is all thanks to the help of the Demon King. Now, I am no less than most of the Elf Emperors in the history of the Elven Empire!"

The ents exchanged looks of astonishment. One of the ent elders hurriedly asked, "What about the Black Phoenix...?"

Zhang Nu took the phoenix egg out from the Heart of Space, "It has been completely annihilated. This is the egg it left behind, with its mad spirit destroyed. Even if it is reborn, it will be a brand new phoenix."

In other words, the Black Phoenix that threatened this place had been completely eradicated and would never appear again. The ents found it hard to believe. The Black Phoenix was incredibly powerful, almost impossible to kill. The ents had to use almost the entire tribe's strength to barely seal the divine beast away. For decades, the strength of the Black Phoenix hadn't changed. But this mysterious Demon King, along with his three subordinates, managed to eliminate the Black Phoenix in less than half a day. What kind of power was this?

Zhang Nu asked, "Have you made your decision?"

Nancilia immediately said, "Respected Ent King, do not hesitate. I guarantee with my honor that the ents will not regret this choice!"

Ent King Grootroot said, "If even the great and noble Elven Emperor has joined the Chaos Federation and commands the ents to do the same, then we are willing to follow the ancient pact and become a part of the Chaos Federation!"

The ents all knelt down, pledging their allegiance to the Demon King. At the same time, a message popped up.

[Ent King Grootroot has pledged allegiance to you along with 1105 ents. Accept?]

Zhang Nu was very satisfied. These ents were strong and could significantly enhance the power of the Chaos Federation. Without much thought, he accepted and promised the Ents, "As long as the ents are loyal to the Darkness City, the Darkness City will always have a place for the ents."

As soon as he finished speaking, another message appeared.

[You've conquered the Ancient Elven Breeding Ranch!]

[You gained a "Gorgeous Stardust Diamond Treasure Chest"!]

Was it that easy? This place was too easy to conquer! In reality, this area was not easy. Dealing with thousands of high-level ents, even for Zhang Nu, would have required considerable effort. Now, thanks to Nancilia, there was no need to deal with these ents, and they were directly recruited instead. Though this meant earning less gold, these living ents were obviously more valuable than gold. Killing them all might earn one or two hundred million gold, but recruiting so many units would cost at least five to six times that amount without even thinking about it.

Thus, living ents were more valuable."
