What a huge surprise! (Greatly seeking votes and collection)

  Because Zhou Feng confirmed his transformation into a human form during the first evolution, he still instinctively chose the human form for his second evolution. The successful evolution brought him tremendous benefits, not only allowing him to enter the third stage, but also upgrading his physical quality and military rank, and even unlocking a new talent - Beast Instinct.

  Beast Instinct: Having the Beast Instinct talent makes the host's perception of the outside world more acute, and also enhances their intuition about danger.

  "Enhance intuition for danger?"

  With his eyes closed, Zhou Feng faintly sensed that his perception of the outside world had indeed been greatly enhanced. At this moment, although he was trapped in the blood cocoon, he could still sense several powerful existences in the Misty Forest. Although he couldn't sense how strong they were specifically, it was already enough for him to choose the correct route to avoid these potentially fatal dangers. And for him, this was much more important than a simple increase in quality.

  Apart from the power and talent brought by transformation, devouring the Death Knight also gave Zhou Feng an unimaginable benefit - Origin Power!

  "It turns out that the role of the original source of power is this..."

  Feeling a unique vitality flowing quietly within his body, Zhou Feng's face suddenly showed an inexplicable look of surprise. The Death Knight's last words were half true and half false - he was indeed worth five million, but half of that value lay in his identity as a Desecrator. Desecration is an unforgivable sin for any deity, and offering up the Desecrator would grant the deity immense rewards to the one who made the sacrifice, while taking away the Desecrator's soul to be eternally imprisoned and burned as punishment and warning to other followers.

  Apart from the value of warning and revenge, the other half of the Death Knight's value lies in his so-called "Source Power". The Source Power that has been fused with divine magic is extremely pure and is a treasure that is hard to come by for anyone. This pure power only has one effect, which is to break through levels.

  No matter what race, even the Dragon Clan and Angel Clan, those super races with extraordinary talents, will encounter bottlenecks after growing to a certain extent. Just like the Saint Dragon Clan, who are almost the most talented in the universe, they can cultivate to the top of the 12th level just by relying on their instincts. However, if they want to enter the 13th level, they can only transform like other creatures. Moreover, the stronger one's strength is, the more difficult it will be to transform, so even the Saint Dragon Clan has many strong individuals who fall during transformation. Other strong individuals either successfully transform into quasi-godly demons of the 13th level or are afraid of death and constantly suppress their power, living in misery.

  The only effect of the original power is to slightly reduce the difficulty and risk of breaking through, otherwise the purchase price of the three-stage original power in the demon system would not be 2.5 million crystal diamonds, but 25 million or even 250 million. However, the higher the level of the original power, the more valuable it becomes. The fourth-stage original power is worth 5 million, the fifth-stage is 10 million, and the sixth-stage is 20 million, and so on. Of course, beings with original power are generally top-level strongmen of the same stage, and the production of original power is extremely harsh, so original powers above the tenth stage have hardly appeared. Even if they do appear, they are usually consumed internally by top-level strongmen, making them in short supply. The highest level of original power that has ever appeared in the demon system was a 12th-stage original power sold by an archangel. When the original power reaches that intensity, the user can even break through to the 13th stage quasi-god level without any risk, and it is also very helpful for breaking through to the 14th stage small god level. Therefore, that 12th-stage original power was auctioned off at a sky-high price.

  The Holy Dragon King of the Holy Dragon clan swept away all competitors with his absolute strength, and then proved the value of this 12th-level Origin Power with uncontested wealth - a full 3 billion crystal diamonds!

  Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Zhou Feng. The third-order origin power is enough to make him risk-free from breaking through for a very long time. Moreover, because he swallowed the Death Knight's origin power alive, this origin power also became a seed in his body. As long as he is strong enough and never relies on faith or sacrificial power, this seed will eventually take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree that touches the sky.

  So after obtaining the original power, Zhou Feng also solidified his own ideas and from then on he would absolutely not rely on the powers of gods or demons or faith. Although sometimes as long as one's faith is firm or they have made some kind of sacrifice or promise to the gods or demons, the power of the faithful or the sacrificer can be greatly increased. However, this power does not belong to oneself but rather belongs to the gods or demons. For Zhou Feng who only believes in himself and not others, such power cannot bring him a sense of security, so he can only rely on his own power, relying on the power of his own genetic makeup to grow step by step.

  Apart from bringing Zhou Feng his original power, the Death Knight also brought Zhou Feng another gift. Looking at the treasure box in his hand that was flashing with a dazzling silver light, Zhou Feng's eyes suddenly took a deep breath, and then restrained his excited mood, slowly opening the treasure box.

  "Roar!"

  As the treasure box opened, a crazy roar suddenly came from it. At the same time, the dazzling light that shot out of the treasure box formed the face of the Death Knight, and then suddenly disappeared. With the disappearance of the dazzling white light, a small booklet flashing with deep red light appeared in front of Zhou Feng.

  "Skill Book!"

  When he saw the small booklet with a faint red glow, Zhou Feng suddenly exclaimed with surprise and delight. Although he had been expecting to get a skill book before opening the treasure chest, when the skill book actually appeared in front of him, he felt a little hesitant again.

  The Death Knight's skills are extremely powerful, whether it's the deadly wave of killing people like cutting vegetables, or the pseudo-forbidden spell of death withering, or even the final killer move of death pointing, they are all extremely practical and powerful skills. No matter which one he gets, it is an absolute boost to his strength. Even if he gets Death Withering, his strength will instantly become the top existence in the third stage.

  That's a fake forbidden spell!

  He took a deep breath, and with trembling hands, Zhou Feng reached for the small red book. However, when his fingers touched the skill book, a look of intense disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.

  Death Call Skill Book: After use, you can learn the skill Death Call.

  "Damn it, how could this be!"

  Looking at the red skill book in his hand, Zhou Feng suddenly let out a furious roar. The scene of those skulls being shattered by the ice spear was deeply etched in his mind, and he couldn't imagine why a third-tier lord-level strongman would still use such a trashy skill, to the point where he didn't even have the mood to flip through the Death Knight's memories. After all, every time he touched the Death Knight's memories, it was a kind of unspeakable torture for him, and the feeling of those memories constantly impacting his brain would drive people crazy. Therefore, Zhou Feng did not look at the Death Knight's memories hidden deep in his brain, but instead let out a deep sigh, and chose to learn.

  Anyway, I've already gotten it in my hands, and the Divine Demon System doesn't take back skill books, so if I don't learn it, am I supposed to just throw this book away?

  However, just as Zhou Feng chose to learn, his face quickly stiffened, and then a strange ecstasy appeared.

  Successfully learned Death Call, gaining the ability to summon Skeletal Minions, Zombie Minions, Iron Golem, Abomination, Death Drain, and Mausoleum.

  Dry Bone Summoning: Summons 0th-tier skeleton warriors based on the user's strength, with the number of skeletons equal to the user's power / 10 kg.

  Undead Summoning: Summons 0th-tier elite undead warriors based on the user's strength, with a number of undead warriors equal to the user's power/20kg.

  Iron Corpse Summoning: Summons a 1st-tier ordinary iron corpse based on the user's strength, with the number of corpses equal to the user's power/100kg.

  Abhorrent Invocation: Can sacrifice and merge nearby summoned creatures and undead to summon an abhorrent, composite undead creature. The power of the Abhorrence is related to the number of merged undead creatures, with a maximum strength of 200% of the caster's strength.

  Death Drain: After use, can drain the power of summoned creatures for personal use, temporarily increasing one's own strength. The amount of increased strength is related to the strength of the summoned creature.

  "Major Cemetery Summoning: Summons a major cemetery, which will summon undead creatures over time. The undead creatures summoned by the cemetery will evolve over time, with the maximum strength of the summoned creature being one rank lower than that of the user."

  As a string of hints floated into Zhou Feng's mind, his body began to tremble slightly. He finally understood why Aide Sa and others immediately intervened when they saw the Death Knight perform the Grand Cemetery Summoning - this death summoning skill book was not just a skill, but a full set of skill combinations. Now his physical strength is 105 times that of an ordinary person, and his power has reached 5300 kilograms. If he enters the Iron Corpse state again to get a 150% increase in strength, his maximum power can even reach a terrifying 13000 kilograms. This also means that as long as he wants, he can summon 1300 skull warriors or 650 corpse warriors, or 130 iron corpses in the blink of an eye. Such a force is enough to allow him to easily annihilate an entire regiment.

  And most importantly, in addition to the three basic summons, he can also combine undead creatures to summon a combination of undead creatures that can exceed his own strength by 200%. Coupled with powerful death absorption and a large-scale graveyard summon that fits sustainable development strategies, it means that as long as he is given some time, he can even turn the tide of a local war with just one person's power.

  It turns out that this is the strongest part of the Death Knight, and now it has also become his strongest part!

  PS: The first update is here, and it just so happens to be the 100th chapter. Today I'm spending the Little New Year with my grandma, so time is limited. If there's time, four updates will explode! Finally, wishing everyone a happy Little New Year, peace and prosperity for all, and may everything go as wished!

  PS2: Note that maximum power and maximum punching force are different concepts. Punching force is generally about twice the strength.
