Chapter 707 - 656: Intrigue and scheming
Xu Hei's location at the Earth's core suddenly began to boil, with the molten rock rapidly decreasing as if it had turned into fuel.
During this process, the rocks released terrifying energy, which was absorbed into Xu Hei's body.
The core changed, absorbing the energy of the Earth's core, channeling it into Xu Hei's body, filling it with the power of the earth.
Xu Hei's body gradually swelled, all his meridians filled with abundant earth power, almost equivalent to burning his primordial spirit!
"When your core power reaches a critical point, you can unleash the third move, which is my signature technique, the Star Core Dominance!"
"This move is the most powerful among my thirty-six first-turn divine abilities. When perfected, it can rival a second-turn divine ability, provided your physical body can withstand it!"
"However, since you can stand before my deity, you must have passed a round of trials."
The ancient voice continued to echo.
Xu Hei felt his physical body gradually crystallizing, muscles turning into crystals, blood into magma, his insides constantly burning like the Earth's core, scorching hot and filled with a sense of power.
"What a terrifying divine ability!"
Xu Hei was utterly shocked.
As time passed, more divine abilities were demonstrated.
Mountain Overturning Seal, Earthquake Wave, Rock Crystal Guardian, Mountain Moving and Sea Filling, and so on.
However, compared to the first three, these were noticeably weaker, their power similar to those used by the likes of Gong Tianlei, as if they were created by the Earth God in the early stages, far from perfect like the first three.
But after all, they were first-turn divine abilities, Xu Hei dared not be negligent, focusing intently on studying the methods of each divine ability.
As long as he mastered these first-turn divine abilities, Xu Hei would no longer have any disadvantages in terms of divine abilities, truly invincible in the early Divine Transformation stage!
This body he received was truly worth it!
…………
In the middle of the Sea Star was a massive oceanic basin, known as the Tongtian Sea.
This was the largest deep-sea area on the Sea Star, and also the territory of the Merman Clan.
Most importantly, the center of the Tongtian Sea was the domain of the Water God!
The Water God, worshipped by over eighty percent, with most of the Sea Star Demon Clan as followers, had an unparalleled status.
And among them, there was an unknown reason.
—The Water God left his physical body on the Sea Star, only his primordial spirit ascended.
This secret was known only to the high-level Divine Transformation cultivators, who, relying on the remnants of the Water God's physical body, continued to cultivate after their Divine Transformation, hoping to one day reach the brink of ascension.
And on this day, at the entrance to the Water God's forbidden area.
A blue shadow flew in like lightning, too fast to be captured, without alerting anyone.
"Whew!"
Zhao Nanqi took a deep breath, the magical treasure he had prepared for years finally came into play.
At this moment, he was like a piece of paper, drifting in the seawater, unaffected by the restrictions, undetected by divine sense, ignoring the law of water, as if in an uninhabited realm.
"I don't want much, just a drop of blood."
The paper Zhao Nanqi transformed into dove deeper, sinking into a trench.
Meanwhile, outside the Water God's forbidden area.
An Azure Sea Flood Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, its deep pupils gazing in the direction of the Water God's forbidden area, a trace of doubt flashing in its eyes.
It took out a blue crystal, which was shining brightly.
"Someone passed by just now?" Hai Teng showed a strange expression.
This crystal was a relic given to him by the Azure Sea Dragon King, capable of detecting any Divine Transformation aura within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Any Divine Transformation cultivator passing by would trigger an alarm, leaving nowhere to hide!
He glanced in the direction of the Water God's forbidden area, his pupils shrinking, not daring to be negligent, he quickly took out a communication talisman and sent a message to the Merman Clan leader.
After a full hour, a response finally came from Gong Jiang, far on the other side of the starry sky.
"I have investigated, there are four Divine Transformation cultivators who infiltrated the Sea Star: Xu Hei, Night Owl, Qin Xuanji, and Zhao Nanqi."
"You are no match for Night Owl, flee immediately upon sight."
"You can hold off Xu Hei and Qin Xuanji, wait for reinforcements."
"As for Zhao Nanqi, you need not concern yourself."
The message came in an orderly manner, Hai Teng frowned and asked, "Why?" Googlᴇ search N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
Shortly after asking, the token responded: "He has been turned by me, with a ninety percent credibility."
Hai Teng put away the token, after a moment of silence, two marks appeared on his forehead, then, with a flick of his dragon tail, he swam straight into the Water God's forbidden area.
One of the marks on his forehead was clearly the law of water.
Under the protection of the law of water, the power of the forbidden area did not affect him, Hai Teng looked at the detection crystal in his hand, quickly approaching the target.
He delved into the trench, reaching the deepest part of the Tongtian Sea.
Finally, he saw a gigantic human skeleton.
This skeleton, only the upper body, was a hundred feet tall, like a towering giant, with a small amount of red hair still on the skull.
Hai Teng did not approach, he lingered nearby for a moment, confirming the exact location of the other party.
At this moment, a steel needle emerged from the void, piercing the spine, extracting a drop of dark golden liquid.
This was the Water God's spinal fluid!
Growing up on the Divine Continent Star, Hai Teng did not have much reverence for deities, but seeing the other party blatantly stealing spinal fluid, he couldn't help but become ferocious, charging directly.
"Die for me!"
Hai Teng didn't care who the other party was, he unleashed a whirlpool stab, aiming at the void, firing wildly!
"Stop!"
In the chaos, Zhao Nanqi's voice appeared, he hurriedly shouted, "I'm on your side, didn't your clan leader tell you?"
Hai Teng halted his actions, his gaze fixed on the golden spinal fluid in the other's hand.
Zhao Nanqi exerted force in his palm, with great effort, he finally stored it in a storage ring, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You must be Hai Teng, I made a deal with Clan Leader Gong Jiang, allowing me to retrieve something, and then I can help you take down that Xu Hei!"
"Both sides swore by their souls, there will be no deception, you should know, I have a grudge against that Xu kid."
Zhao Nanqi stared at Hai Teng, half-smiling.
His fight with Xu Hei had long spread, not only within the sect but also outside.
Therefore, after he left the Divine Continent Star, the other party immediately extended an olive branch, trying to sow discord.
Zhao Nanqi neither agreed nor refused, he simply set a condition.
He was only responsible for killing Xu Hei, what happened after, whether he stayed or left, which side he stood on, was another matter.
To this, Gong Jiang gladly accepted.
Of course, Zhao Nanqi still didn't fully trust the other party, he still adopted a stealthy approach, but since he was discovered, he had no choice but to reveal his cards.
