This was the Legendary Banana Luo Feng had obtained shortly before from opening the Golden Treasure Chest.
It could transform his entire body into indestructible, razor-sharp gold.
Originally, Luo Feng had planned to conserve it—after all, such a precious item was irreplaceable once used.
But who knew Black Commander would prove so formidable, forcing his hand?
Turning to the three women with a smile, Luo Feng said,
"Don't be too nervous. Just watch what happens next.
A mere Black Energy Beam isn't enough to faze me."
As he spoke, he retrieved the Legendary Golden Banana from his space ring and swallowed it whole.
At that moment, the Protective Shield around Black Tortoise finally gave way under the assault of the Black Energy Beam.
It shattered.
Once inside the shield, the Black Energy Beam surged straight toward Luo Feng.
Just as it was about to strike him, his body suddenly began to change.
Luo Feng extended a gleaming golden arm to block the beam.
The moment the Black Energy Beam collided with his arm,
a tremendous Explosion erupted.
Dark energy instantly engulfed Luo Feng.
The spectacle immediately drew the attention of everyone nearby.
Tang Xuewei and the other two women, seeing Luo Feng enveloped by the dark energy, wore expressions of deep concern.
Xiao Qian fretted,
"Will Master be alright?
Should we step in to help?"
The Merfolk Queen, highly attuned to energy fluctuations, sensed for a moment before replying,
"There's no need to rush.
Master isn't injured—in fact, his body is growing even stronger, brimming with immense power.
We need only wait quietly."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewei nodded in agreement.
"Let's listen to Ariel. She's the expert in this area.
If we act recklessly, we might end up disrupting Luo Feng's focus."
As the three debated,
Black Commander, witnessing the scene, broke into triumphant laughter.
"I thought you were something special, but you're just a joke.
My Demon Wave blasted you to oblivion.
Even if you're not dead yet, trapped in that much Demonic energy, you're as good as gone.
That attack cost me an entire drop of Demon blood.
Dying by my hand is an honor.
I just hope you've got some decent loot—otherwise, this'll be a waste."
Beside him, the Man in Black shuddered at his words.
He knew exactly how much energy a single drop of Demon blood contained.
One drop could sustain him for an entire year—
under normal circumstances, at least.
In a fierce battle, his energy expenditure would skyrocket.
That was why he had retreated so quickly after his brief clash with Luo Feng.
But unlike Black Commander, he could directly absorb Demon blood to harness its power.
Black Commander lacked that ability.
He was just a Black Egg—not a true demon.
The reason he could utilize the Demon blood for attacks was entirely because he released its energy through the Demon Orb.
Black Commander himself dared not absorb too much Demon blood.
If Black Commander could kill him here, she would be quite happy—that way, no man would have seen her body.
Right now, she was intently watching that mass of black energy.
She had a strong feeling that Luo Feng wouldn't die so easily.
Just as Black Commander was feeling extremely smug—
A sudden mutation occurred.
The black energy enveloping Luo Feng rapidly diminished.
Soon, the massive black energy completely vanished.
A Luo Feng, his entire body radiating a dazzling golden light, appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing this, Black Commander's face twisted in shock as he exclaimed in disbelief,
"How is this possible?
The Demon blood had no effect?
Who is this golden figure?
Could it be that human from earlier can transform?"
At this moment, countless questions flooded Black Commander's mind.
That had practically been his strongest attack.
Unless he used even more Demon blood next time.
But using more Demon blood would also affect his mental and spiritual state.
Even he couldn't recklessly use large amounts of Demon blood.
While Demon blood contained immense energy, it also carried powerful negative side effects.
The reason so many Level 5 Black Ghouls could appear in the Black Mist Zone in such a short time was precisely due to the influence of this Demon blood.
The Black Lake itself contained Demon blood.
When these Black Ghouls emerged from the Black Lake, their strength increased, but they lost all rationality, attacking any living creature in sight.
This was why Black Ghouls wreaked havoc in other Colored Mist Zones.
Before Black Commander could ponder further, the golden figure on Black Tortoise's back was already charging toward him at high speed.
"This black energy is quite good. My weapon really liked it—after devouring it, it wants more. Do you have any Demon blood left?"
Now fully golden, Luo Feng gripped his Nine-Colored Blade as he swiftly closed the distance, aiming to cleave Black Commander in half with a single strike.
In this state, Luo Feng had no weaknesses whatsoever.
Even the most vulnerable human eyes had turned golden.
From what had just transpired, Luo Feng's current physical defense surpassed even Black Tortoise's protective shield.
Truly befitting the Legendary Golden Banana—the effects were absolutely top-notch.
In one word:
Powerful.
In this form, Luo Feng could charge forward without hesitation.
There was nothing to fear at all.
While Luo Feng felt no fear, someone—no, something—was absolutely terrified.
Seeing Luo Feng's approaching figure, Black Commander was frantic with anxiety.
He couldn't leave the Demon Orb now—if he dodged, Luo Feng's attack might land on the orb instead.
That would completely ruin his plans.
Faced with this critical moment, he stopped overthinking.
He tossed three drops of Demon blood to the Man in Black and said,
"Let's join forces to block this guy's attack.
If I die, you can forget about achieving your goal."
After speaking, Black Commander immediately took out two more drops of Demon blood and swallowed them.
This time, he was truly going all out.
No matter what, he had to fully activate the Demon Orb.
The Man in Black received three drops of Demon blood, a trace of excitement appearing on his face.
