Chapter 709 658: One against two
The crowd behind him saw this and also knelt down on one knee, paying their respects as juniors.
"Greetings, Senior!"
These human cultivators were mostly descendants of ancient extraterrestrial immigrants, primarily from the Divine Continent Star, who had thrived for generations on the Northern Continent, worshipping the power of the Earth God.
Just like the Demon Clan on the Divine Continent Star, there were humans on the Sea Star as well.
Those who could immigrate from other planets had extraordinary bloodlines and talents, but on a place like the Sea Star, their potential was capped, making it impossible for them to reach the Divine Transformation Stage in their lifetime.
Xu Hei glanced at them and said calmly, "Meeting is fate, so I shall grant you a blessing!"
Having received the Earth God's inheritance, Xu Hei was in a great mood and felt inclined to spread the Earth God's teachings. The Earth God had shown him kindness, and as long as it didn't affect his own interests, Xu Hei was willing to return the favor.
Moreover, after the Demon Clan went to the East Sea and easily turned the East Sea Demon Clan to their side, Xu Hei had the same idea.
Upon hearing this, joy flashed in everyone's eyes.
"But what?" Xu Hei frowned slightly.
He sensed that something was off, as the expressions of these two were quite unpleasant.
The sturdy old man beside him gritted his teeth and said with grief and indignation, "The Northern Continent is on the verge of collapse, and we really have no heart for cultivation! You can see the situation for yourself if you go outside, Senior."
Hearing this, Xu Hei extended his Divine Sense.
Initially, he didn't notice anything unusual, but as his Divine Sense reached a hundred thousand miles away, Xu Hei's face immediately darkened. He vanished in an instant, leaving the Earth God's forbidden land and soared into the sky.
Xu Hei stood atop the heavens, gazing at the distant land.
Outside the Earth God's forbidden land, where was the land?
Everywhere he looked was a vast ocean!
The original towns, sects, villages, mountains, and fields were all submerged in water. Not only was the ground covered by the sea, but even the clouds in the sky were part of the ocean.
All the land was gone, leaving only the area near the Earth God's forbidden land still preserved.
But with the ocean's movement, it wouldn't be long before even this place would be submerged.
Countless people drowned in the water; this was an extinction-level catastrophe for the continent, no—man-made disaster!
"Daring to flood even the Earth God's territory, is the Sea Star really going for broke?"
Xu Hei's face was calm as he stared above the clouds.
There, a green-skinned figure appeared, with bulging eyes and a huge mouth, looking hideous. It was Yuantai, the Frogman Ancestor.
"Xu Hei, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you've finally appeared!"
Yuantai's lips curled into a mocking smile as he took out a string of beads, each engraved with a different human face.
Xu Hei retorted sarcastically, "Doesn't your Sea Star worship the gods? How dare you invade even the gods' territory, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Hmph! I'd really like to see how the gods would punish us!"
Without another word, Yuantai crushed one of the beads, which bore an angry expression. Upon shattering, the seawater in the sky quickly condensed into slender raindrops aimed at Xu Hei.
Though they appeared to be raindrops, they were sharper than swords and spears, with terrifying water pressure capable of piercing through anything.
"Rain of a Thousand Kills!"
Yuantai pointed forward, and all the raindrops traversed the void, shooting towards Xu Hei at a speed comparable to teleportation.
There was no time to practice the Earth God's divine abilities, but actual combat was the best practice opportunity!
Xu Hei waved his hand, and the dust in the air quickly gathered to form a thick earthen wall, covering the sky. The raindrops fell, only creating pits, but the wall remained unbreakable.
"Earth Law? Indeed!"
Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Yuantai's eyes. With a thought, a Rain of a Thousand Kills ten times more intense than before swept in, pouring rain filling the sky with endless raindrops, leaving nowhere to hide or escape.
"Rock Crystal Protection!"
Xu Hei dispersed the earthen wall, forming a crystal-like brown defense on his body, one of the strongest defensive divine abilities, Rock Crystal Protection.
However, Xu Hei's proficiency was clearly lacking, as the rock crystal only protected his head and chest. The rest of his body was hit by the rain, immediately covered in countless wounds, bleeding profusely. If not for his strong defense, he might have been shattered.
This sight left Yuantai deeply shocked.
"What a strong physical body! The Rain of a Thousand Kills left by my senior brother couldn't penetrate it!"
Yuantai felt apprehensive and took out another bead with a laughing face, crushing it directly.
Losing two beads in succession pained Yuantai greatly, and only by taking down Xu Hei could he recover his losses.
"Ribbit ribbit ribbit!!"
As the bead shattered, eerie frog laughter emanated from within, sound waves assaulting heavily. Countless frog-like phantoms appeared among the water arrows, flashing before Xu Hei's eyes.
Xu Hei felt dizzy, seeing stars, even his primordial spirit felt an irresistible dizziness, his consciousness blurred, and his divine abilities on his body couldn't be maintained, the rock crystal dissipating.
"What an opportunity!" Yuantai's eyes gleamed.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, from the sea below Xu Hei, an enormous fist emerged, crashing towards Xu Hei.
Accompanying the fist were countless phantoms of oceanic beasts—giant whales, sea dragons, walruses, sea lions. With one punch, accompanied by deafening beast roars and the roar of angry waves, it could shatter the mind and destroy the heavens and earth.
It was Wang Zhen, lurking in the water, unleashing his strongest killing blow!
"Water Beast Wave Fist!"
As the leader of the Sea Lion Clan, Wang Zhen possessed unparalleled physical strength, boasting the strongest physical combat power of the Divine Transformation Stage. One punch could break space, even shatter the earth's crust!
To date, no one could withstand his punch, the power was terrifyingly strong.
The only drawback was the poor hit rate.
But now, with Yuantai's frontal feint and the Frog Ancestor's voice controlling the opponent, he ambushed from the water, their cooperation was perfect.
Instantly killing Xu Hei, who was in the early Divine Transformation Stage, was entirely possible!
"Boom!"
A deep trench was carved into space, and before the punch even landed, Xu Hei's body erupted with blood. Even the Rock Crystal Protection that had just formed shattered, seemingly unable to withstand this ultimate strike.
Blood trickled from Xu Hei's mouth, and his previously dazed spirit instantly recovered, cold light flashing in his eyes: "Finally showing yourself!"
He made a decisive move, retreating into the Demon God Cauldron, and Wang Zhen's punch landed heavily on the cauldron.
"Clang!!"
A crisp, melodious sound echoed through the universe, sending shivers down one's spine.
But what shocked Wang Zhen was that after taking his punch head-on, this strange cauldron remained unscathed!
"Whoosh!"
The Demon God Cauldron was sent flying, crashing into the distant sea, then quickly sank, descending into the underwater soil.
"Chase!"
The two demon clan members exchanged a glance, making a swift decision to pursue the injured Xu Hei.
