Chapter 417: So You’re the One Called Sea God, Huh!So you call yourself the Sea God!
Taming the seas... Chen Qi's ears perked up as he gently adjusted his mask.
Without a doubt, the Sea Shepherd was the name of a fifth-tier profession card, a saint-level existence that literally represented a natural disaster!
Moreover, this was one of the rare professions closely connected to the sea.
Under normal circumstances, fifth-tier profession cards required a formula, unimaginably rare treasures, and a massive card-crafting workshop to complete.
This was precisely why the Ice Witch planned to build shelters and rift workshops.
However, even the Ice Witch knew very few fifth-tier formulas, such as the Fate Witch who could glimpse destiny, the Gluttony Witch with the ability to devour monsters, the Joy Witch who controlled minds and natural forces, the War Witch who ravaged battlefields, the Winter Saint who commanded blizzards and temperature, the Sun Knight who wielded holy light...
Most of the fifth-tier formulas the Ice Witch knew were witches.
All witches!
Chen Qi remembered that this was the Lamp Keeper's superior profession, capable of taming the seas, commanding storms and tsunamis, trapping sea beasts in cages - a special saint-level profession belonging to the ocean.This was a hundred times better than the Ice Witch's numerous witch formulas!
However, there was still one question to confirm - what was this profession card's affinity... Chen Qi swam gently, expanding his spiritual energy perception range.
A saint-level profession card... Haige's eyes also flashed with excitement.
He had been desperately seeking a path to advancement, but without rift workshops and formulas, he could only wait aimlessly for the Sea God's grace!
Now, it seemed he had finally made it.
The wings on the Sea God's face fluttered slightly, revealing snake-like white eyes as she crossed her slender white legs and smiled faintly:
"Unfortunately, Heart and Lamp ultimately don't match my Goblet affinity."
Heart and Lamp... Chen Qi held his breath. This fifth-tier profession card suited him perfectly.
If he could obtain this fifth-tier profession card, it would save him a tremendous amount of time.
The Sea God's gift package!
The confident supernova Haige was equally excited. As a thoughtful, high-quality youth, he couldn't help but ponder the Sea God's deeper meaning.
Why was the Sea God telling him about the Sea Shepherd profession card?
She must have her profound intentions!
The Sea God's implication was that if he worked hard, the Sea Shepherd profession card would be his in the future.
Even if this profession card didn't match his affinity, it was still quite a reward.
Just work hard! Haige couldn't help but bow and kowtow:
"Sea God, thank you for your affirmation! I will strive to fulfill my duties as an apostle! Protect the ritual!"
When did I affirm you? And does the ritual even need protection? The Sea God's aquatic wing mask rotated up and down.
The Archbishop had clearly told her that Haige was a confident, brave, and extremely talented aspiring youth.
Moreover, wasn't he being overly confident and brave when speaking to her?
Forget it, it no longer mattered... The Sea God raised her hand and called out loudly:
"Alright, prepare the ritual! Our century-long great undertaking is finally time to begin the grand performance!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The hundred high-ranking members of the Sea God Pirates present all knelt and shouted:
"We obey your command!!!"
Under the Sea God's elegant voice, the Sea God Pirates' leadership stepped across the black sludge-filled river, herding the terrifying deep sea monsters into the designated ritual area like driving sheep into pens.
Beneath the twelve giant pillars, special arrays symbolizing fusion were carved.
Chen Qi sensed that the numerous deep sea monsters here were all extremely powerful.
Each array was categorized - speed types, strength types, perception types, defense types, charm types, skill types...
After all these dazed sea beasts reached their designated ritual positions, the Sea God Pirates' Archbishop shouted loudly:
"In this Sublimation Land! Gather the twelve great powers of the sea, the blood of the Kraken, the blessings of the Sea Goddess into one point! Forge the power of Leviathan! Forge miracles!"
"Ritual commencement, begin connection!!"
Numerous Sea God Pirates members took out black rods and inserted them into the deep sea monsters' skin!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Instantly, these ten thousand deep sea monsters' eyes multiplied, emitting thick, foul black blood and making strange buzzing sounds.
On the central pillar, thick, twisted tentacles grew out, blood-red eyes breaking open like insect eggs one after another, transforming the entire stone pillar into a ferociously twisted abyss pillar!
On the central pillar, thick, twisted tentacles grew out, blood-red eyes breaking open like insect eggs one after another, transforming the entire stone pillar into a ferociously twisted pillar of the abyss!
Chimera fusion ritual... Chen Qi observed everything around him.
He never expected this was the Sea God's ritual.
The Chimera ritual was a Goblet affinity ceremony for absorbing monster power.
However, normally, such rituals only required ten beasts.
What the Sea God was conducting now involved ten thousand deep sea monsters - a thousand times the scale of ordinary Chimera rituals!
And... Chen Qi's perception couldn't help but be drawn to the central abyss pillar.
This was an A-rank rift's abyssal relic, causing the entire ritual to develop in a more filthy, twisted direction.
"How wonderful~"
The Sea God let out a light hum, tearing at and embracing her graceful body, then spread her arms like a slowly descending pale butterfly, descending from her throne.
As the Sea God descended... Chen Qi could better sense her powerful spiritual energy field.
As he expected, it was a fifth-tier spiritual energy field.
No, it was weaker, similar to the Azure Beast's spiritual energy field.
As the Ice Witch had said, the Sea God had achieved advancement through special means, making her strength inferior to normal fifth-tier beings.
This creature's current strength, while powerful, was far from deserving the title of god... A hunter's fierce gleam flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.
Besides the Sea God, the pirate leadership here were just cannon fodder for show!
Here, only the Sea God could be his enemy!
Next, he just needed to wait for the right moment to begin the hunt.
Chen Qi held his breath, gripped his sword hilt, adjusted his Breathing Technique, drank Fen's Sage-Level Frenzied Blood potion, and coated his surface with crimson qi force.
Facing a powerful enemy like the Sea God, he had to go all out from the very beginning!
Chen Qi waited like a hunter hidden in the Dark Forest, quietly awaiting the hunting moment.
The Sea God stepped across the cold ritual ground:
"Three days from now, after I digest this massive power, we will repay blood with blood! Anyone who stands against our Sea God Pirates will pay the price!"
"By then, whether it's the Pirate King Whale Father, the holy Ice Witch, or the proud Madame Oli - all will become captives beneath our feet!"
The more the Sea God spoke, the wider her smile grew.
However, soon, a massive black sea dragon figure on the turbid river interrupted her attention.
Just from the scales alone, one could tell this was a premium sacrifice!
Top quality!
"A cute, robust little sea dragon?"
There was actually a powerful sea beast that hadn't been successfully guided to the designated area... The Sea God asked:
"Who's responsible for herding this little one?"
The Sea God Pirates' leadership all turned to look at the Coastal Apex Predators on the river.
They shook their heads, none answering.
Too afraid to admit their mistakes? Fine, I'll herd it myself... The Sea God took out the Sea Shepherd profession card and said softly:
"Weak deep sea dragon, submit to great power, obey my command..."
Clang!
In an instant, a crimson figure flashed like lightning!
The Sea God's aquatic wing mask opened, revealing the terrified snake eyes beneath.
Drip! Drip!
Her scalding blood dripped down her face drop by drop.
That was her blood!
Hah... Nice feel, the figure wrapped in blade energy turned to look at the Sea God behind him.
The Sea God's arm and chest had been torn open with a five-centimeter-deep freezing wound.
Hah—
The noisy ritual ground fell silent for a long time, until Haige shouted hoarsely:
"The Sea God has been assassinated!!"
Assassinated!
Only then did the Sea God Pirates' leadership react.
Some arrogant fool had actually attacked their great, beautiful Sea God right in front of their entire pirate crew!!!
As the blade energy around the figure dissipated, everyone could clearly see the person's true appearance.
Black Hunter!
The damnable Black Hunter!
The pirate leadership all drew weapons, activated their spiritual energy fields, and surrounded the Black Hunter.
The courageous Haige directly activated Qi Transformation, ready to strike.
However, the next moment, the Sea God raised her right hand, stopping everyone.
That was her prey!
Everyone took a deep breath. The Sea God's aquatic wing mask had shattered, revealing the blood-black pupils beneath that resembled abyssal beasts!
Those pupils seemed to contain an abyssal beast, making everyone feel chilled to the bone, afraid to move recklessly.
The Sea God only showed this expression when she was utterly furious!
"A mere hunter, a hunter, dares attack me, attack me! I, the great Sea God!"
Step! Step! Step!
The Sea God stepped forward one by one, coming before Chen Qi. The three-meter-tall being looked down condescendingly at the short hunter before her.
The heavy double heartbeat in her chest was particularly oppressive.
Chen Qi looked up at the colossal being before him.
Though the Sea God maintained human form, she was voluptuous and tall, resembling the legendary eight-foot lady from ghost stories, the vampire lady from Resident Evil!
Beautiful yet extremely dangerous.
Combined with her fifth-tier spiritual energy field and heavy chest resonance, the pressure she exerted on Chen Qi even surpassed that of the Blizzard Dragon King.
Chen Qi gripped his blade, energy flowing as he assumed a drawing stance again.
However, for Chen Qi who had experienced countless battles...
It was precisely this sense of oppression, this massive size that made him feel joy, excitement, unprecedented excitement!
Come! Make me more excited! Chen Qi's heart roared.
"Black Hunter, though I don't know how you survived, next, I will kill you with my own hands!"
"Not just ordinary killing, but killing you piece by piece, slice by slice, bit by bit!! Killing you!!!"
The Sea God roared, spreading her arms as the wing mask on her face transformed into six broken sharp wing blades, charging at Chen Qi filled with rage!
Slash!
Chen Qi's heart leaped as he instantly slashed!
Swish!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, continuous shattering metal sounds came as black and red afterimages intersected, stirring up countless energy waves!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The speed and power between the two had exceeded imagination!
Some third-tier Transcendents, due to insufficient dynamic vision, couldn't even see their trajectories clearly, and could only follow the Archbishop and Haige in applauding and echoing:
"Sea God is showing overwhelming dominance!"
Clang!!!
However, as a thunderous sonic boom sounded, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The Sea God's eyes were bloodshot, with five fresh wounds clearly visible on her beautiful chest and thighs!
While the Black Hunter only had two faint wounds on his arms!
In their recent clash, the one at disadvantage was the Sea God!
Fen's Sage-Level potion combined with the Rift Blade - even Goblet affinity users couldn't resist... Moreover, this creature hiding in the sea depths clearly hadn't fought for too long... Chen Qi gripped his blade, rapidly adjusting his breathing.
The Sea God before him, as the final boss of the Sea God Pirates, definitely had more than one phase.
"Hah, hah, hah—"
The Sea God bent over, bleeding continuously as she gasped rapidly.
Sea God! Haige swallowed, his heart pounding wildly. As the Sea God Pirates' key cultivation target, he was extremely excited.
Without a doubt, his chance to shine had arrived!
Promotion, salary increase, marrying nobility - the opportunity was right before him!
Though his current strength couldn't defeat the Black Hunter, it was enough to delay him and share the Sea God's burden!
However, the Archbishop had said the Sea God cared about face, valuing elegance and etiquette greatly.
Before the Sea God, one must watch their words, respect the Sea God, and get her approval for any action!
Respect the Sea God! Haige hurriedly shouted:
"Sea God, can you handle this? Do you need my help?"
Can I handle this? I'm your leader! The Sea God adjusting her breathing couldn't hold back, blood rushing up as she coughed up blood onto the ground.
Where did the Archbishop dig up such a smooth talker... The Sea God wiped the blood from her mouth, stood up again, and snorted proudly:
"He's just a small fish who accidentally entered the ritual."
Doesn't need my help, good thing I asked... Haige couldn't help but feel grateful for his wisdom, immediately bowing and adding:
"I knew it! Against a mere Black Hunter, with your supreme power, Sea God, you don't need our strength at all!"
"..."
The Sea God remained silent, took a deep breath, and ignored Haige.
She put away her anger, sprouts of flesh growing from her wounds as they rapidly healed.
The healing ability of top Goblet affinity Transcendents far exceeded imagination.
Even under the healing reduction effect of Chen Qi's blade, she could still recover to perfect condition.
She stood up elegantly, raised her head, and smiled slightly as if nothing had just happened:
"Black Hunter, you're not fantasizing that you have the possibility of killing me, are you?"
"Hunter, those who chase after mirages with all their strength ultimately obtain only illusions."
"What you can hunt are only the incompetent fools upon the sea. Until now, I've only used less than one-tenth of my power!!"
"Next, hunter, you will witness what a true Deep Sea God is!!!"
Snap!
The Sea God snapped her fingers.
Instantly, storms arose throughout the Sublimation Land.
Everyone trembled.
The spiritual energy of the abyss pillar flowed rapidly, continuously converging toward the Sea God's heart!
The Sea God Pirates' leadership gasped - they never expected that to deal with the Black Hunter, the Sea God would actually draw upon the power of the ancient deep-sea deity in advance!
