Chapter 418: That D*mn Black Hunter, He Actually Used Charm!
The Sea God revealed a slightly mysterious smile, bent down, and elegantly lifted the hem of her dress on both sides.
The Pillar of the Abyss located in the Sublimation Land suddenly expanded, opening thousands of blood-red eyes.
An endless stream of power was pouring into her body!
Release!
The Archbishop and Haige's group repeatedly retreated, unable to comprehend.
The power used by the Sea God essentially involved absorbing the energy of the Sublimation Land!
Borrowing this power prematurely would prolong the ritual, significantly delaying their time to reach shore!
However, at this moment, they clearly could no longer stop the Sea God's reckless actions!
The killing intent and rage that the Sea God had thirsted for over many years had long overflowed!
Boom! Boom!Chen Qi held his long blade horizontally across his chest, the overwhelming scorching spiritual energy forcing him to retreat and create distance.
The Sea God raised her head, her beast-like pupils suddenly contracting into two narrow lines, the whites of her eyes transforming into spiraling crimson vortices as she exhaled a white breath:
"Hah! Cup Release. Arrival of the Sea Goddess—"
Release? Chen Qi struggled to observe the Sea God's weaknesses and posture at this moment.
On her originally snow-white graceful body, deep blue scales continuously grew, while her originally white long hair gradually changed, lengthening, transforming into fluorescent blue strands resembling jellyfish tentacles.
From her back, her spine emitted cracking sounds as six ten-meter-long sea lily wings slowly unfurled, with azure holy light and tidal waves dancing at her feet, converging into a massive phantom of the Sea Goddess!
At this moment, she possessed both a sense of sanctity and the profound depth of the abyss!
Her sacred body was as if the Sea Goddess had descended!
An extremely unique release... Chen Qi's pupils contracted sharply.
The Sea God smiled faintly:
"The Cup Release I cultivate originates from notes left by a Book affinity sage, who discovered a forbidden statue of the Sea Goddess in this abyss. By continuously imitating flesh and blood, approaching divine structure, my body has thus drawn closer to that of a deity—
In other words, hunter, what you will face next is the power of the Sea Goddess!"
The Sea God's body abruptly ascended into the air, her sea lily wings draping naturally like ribbons.
Simultaneously, an endless stream of seawater gathered in her right hand, forming a spiraling tidal spear.
Scorching cold wind condensed in her left hand, transforming into a spiraling storm spear.
The Archbishop looked up, unable to help but admire the immense power:
"This is the great power of Lord Sea God, the fifth-tier Saint profession Chimera of the Goblet affinity. In this abyss, she has mastered strength that ordinary Saints cannot match..."
The Sea God's profession was a fifth-tier Goblet affinity role. At this level, one could remodel their own body, fuse with the powers of various monsters, permanently becoming powerful entities like flame dragons, giant whales, or eagle demons.
And the powerful existence the Sea God imitated was the Sea Goddess!
Through various rituals and blood modifications, once this mode was activated, their leader would possess absolute power to control storms and seawater.
Is this the second stage... Chen Qi's pupils suddenly turned blood-red, with continuous crimson lightning erupting across his Hunter's Garb!
In this form, the Sea God far surpassed her previous strength, her power surging fivefold!
Chen Qi's heart pounded violently as he exhaled a turbid blood mist, the Rift Blade in his hand igniting with two meters of scorching crimson flame.
Blade Release. Crimson Form. Activate!
The Sea God aimed her tidal spear at Chen Qi:
"Planning to use Blade Release to counter my Release? Unfortunately, my Release will infinitely approach the power of the Sea Goddess—currently at ten percent..."
"No, twenty percent, thirty percent!"
So much talk... Chen Qi, having activated Crimson Form, triggered Hound's Pace, streaking like a crimson lightning bolt as he swiftly slashed toward the Sea God's figure—
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Chen Qi's blade energy continuously clashed with the Sea God's storm and tidal spears, creating hundreds of fissures on the ground!
"Hunter, fighting you truly excites me, brings me unprecedented excitement—
Being killed by me is your honor!"
The Sea God laughed maniacally, unleashing torrential attacks.
This hunter was strong enough, and his appearance and scent were quite appealing too—the Sea God looked at the hunter before her, unconsciously swallowing and licking her lips.
However, amid these continuous collisions and power sublimation, a flash of pink suddenly appeared in the Sea God's eyes—
It had been so long since anyone dared to attack her so boldly...
Although arrogant, she had to admit, he was truly an interesting man! The Sea God smiled faintly:
"Hunter, I've decided, I will capture you, slowly torment you—"
She had decided!
Not to kill the Black Hunter—
Yet, the moment this thought flashed through her mind!
Rift Blade. Spatial Collapse! The blade in Chen Qi's hand, controlled by madness, erupted with crimson destructive power!
Slash!
Tens of meters of destructive energy swept through, directly severing the arm holding the Sea God's tidal spear—
The destructive force completely crippled her right hand, shattering it into pieces like glass shards!
In that instant, everyone gasped sharply, unable to describe their shock!
But even more shocked was the Sea God.
This man is so strong, I really want to see his internal organs... The Sea God trembled internally, then found herself replaced by an indescribable emotion—a mixture of shyness, curiosity, and slight desire.
Her cheeks gradually flushed with a faint blush, like coral reefs under the rising sun, utterly bashful.
What's happening to the Sea God? The Archbishop and Haige's group were puzzled;
they had never seen the Sea God with such an expression before.
"Hah, hah, hah—"
The Sea God panted heavily.
For some reason, since activating her Release, she felt the Black Hunter possessed an unimaginable charm.
It was precisely this charm that made her halt her attacks earlier.
So fragrant... The Sea God shyly licked her lips.
This sensation made her entire body feel feverish!
However, during the Sea God's moment of inner conflict, Chen Qi didn't hesitate, continuing to unleash an impenetrable barrage of slashes against her!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Sea God hurriedly blocked, but due to the yearning in her heart, her murderous attacks became feeble.
Clang!
Blood splattered once more—
Chen Qi, with Crimson Form activated, carved dozens of wounds across the Sea God's pristine body.
Blood dripped steadily.
The Sea God suddenly realized.
She should be like the Ice Witch—an emotionless, ruthless person, a cold individual who would stop at nothing to become a god!
Since childhood, she had never been interested in any man!
Any man!!!
Why? Why would she develop such strange feelings toward the Black Hunter—
Suddenly, the Sea God recalled the Goldenfinch Kingdom's floral aspect Release.
It's charm! I've been hit by flower-release level charm! The Sea God blushed, rapidly creating distance.
When? There were no starting moves, no spiritual energy precursors... The Sea God gasped heavily.
Suddenly, she remembered the Blackfin Crew's rumors—that the Black Hunter possessed some special Deep Sea Affinity.
But the power she was approaching was that of the noble Sea Goddess!
Could this affinity even charm the Sea Goddess?
Adrian, resist it... Sea God Adrian wiped drool from her mouth, suddenly realizing.
It was precisely using the Sea Goddess's power that made her susceptible to charm!
The Sea God, red-faced and gritting her teeth, said:
"Despicable, shameless Black Hunter, you are utterly despicable and shameless, daring to disrespect the Sea Goddess, using charm..."
Charm? The many Sea God Pirates were instantly shocked.
What is our great Sea God saying? Charm isn't that a very low-tier skill?
Only weak-willed, low-tier lechers fall for that skill.
"???"
Chen Qi blinked his crimson eyes, equally puzzled as he looked at the Sea God.
What did I do to the Sea Goddess?
What is charm?
He tried to understand, but regardless, at this moment, no mercy was needed!
The hunt had begun, no hesitation required!
What he needed to do now was mercilessly kill this one of the four emperors of the sea, Sea God Adrian!
Ember's Touch, full power!
Behind Chen Qi, crimson scorching tentacles continuously spread, preparing for the upcoming all-out battle!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Sea God gritted her teeth:
"I will—
Ravage you!"
The Sea Goddess suppressed the intense desire in her heart, clenched her fingers together, and commanded the storm and tidal spears, sweeping out with hurricane and tidal force!
Storm and tidal wave!
Instantly, a massive storm surge split the vast Sublimation Land in half!
Boom!
The heavy battle between the two with full Releases activated created crater after crater across the Sublimation Land.
The Sea God Pirates who had initially prepared to support watched the catastrophic-scale frenzy before them.
They couldn't help but feel fortunate they weren't participating in this battle.
The combat waves between the Black Hunter and Sea God were no longer something they could intervene in—
After a full minute of intense exchange, with hundreds of scorching craters covering the Sublimation Land, both sides finally ceased their attacks, simultaneously adjusting their breathing.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the Black Hunter's power.
"Hah, hah, hah—"
Chen Qi gasped heavily, his Hunter's Garb mostly torn, with copious amounts of blood continuously falling.
The Sea God's power had surpassed the Blizzard Dragon King.
Every attack he launched came with corresponding costs.
However, the Sea God's current condition was even more severe.
In her second-stage form, half of her six sea lily wings were broken, and her chest bore hundreds of shocking wounds.
Her hands holding the tidal and storm spears trembled uncontrollably—
Chen Qi's blood-drenched face revealed an excited smile, his crimson teeth appearing chilling:
"Sea God, it seems your Sea Goddess power is nothing special after all?
Come on! Make me more excited!"
"I refuse!!!"
The Sea God spat blood from her disheveled face.
As one of the sea emperors, she had actually shown such an unsightly state before her many followers.
She was a god destined to rule the seas—
Adrian, you must not succumb to this charm, think of the Ice Witch, think of all your efforts along the way...
How can you yield to such charm on this path!
He's just a somewhat handsome man!
What you need—
Is elegance!
Is strength!
Is dominance!
Is divine arrogance!
"Black Hunter, I'll ravage you!!!"
The Sea God clenched her teeth, wiping blood from her mouth. With her powerful will, she overcame that pink desire instinct!
If she used more power, her plan to rule the seas would be completely delayed!
She would kill Chen Qi in this state!
Crimson killing desire erupted simultaneously from Chen Qi and Adrian's eyes as they engaged in combat once more—
The many Sea God Pirates members hurriedly retreated!
Surging energy waves swept forth again!
...
Above the abyssal river.
"Faster! Yisha, I can sense huge spiritual energy fluctuations in the distance!"
Fen and Yisha anxiously sprinted rapidly across the turbid river.
Currently, both wore Sea God Pirates robes as disguise.
She and Yisha already knew that Chen Qi had secretly infiltrated the Sea God Pirates' main base.
And judging by the tremendous noises, unsurprisingly, Chen Qi's disguise had been exposed by the Sea God Pirates.
Too insane... Fen's heart pounded wildly.
Her mind involuntarily conjured images of Chen Qi bound by the Sea God's tentacles, then shamelessly humiliated before hundreds of pirates!
Those pirates were genuine demons!
No, perhaps even worse!
According to legends, the Sea God, one of the four sea emperors, was an emperor completely devoid of emotion!
She might not even torture Chen Qi, but kill him in the most efficient manner possible.
Without me, Fen, Chen Qi's consequences would be unthinkable.
Qi might already be hanging by a thread!
"Yisha! Yisha, faster, even faster!"
Qi, I'm coming... Fen gasped heavily, her chest heaving constantly. The prolonged full-speed sprint had severely disrupted her breathing:
"Fen, slow down, slow down, we're almost there. We need to reduce speed, act like we're late, quietly blend into the pirate crowd—"
Yisha panted heavily.
They could already see the massive Pillar of the Abyss, and the surging storms and tidal waves on the Sublimation Land!
"Hmm..."
Fen nodded, suppressing her anxiety as she and Yisha silently blended into the crowd of high-ranking pirates.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Currently, the Sea God Pirates members had no mind for anything else.
Their eyes were fixed solely on the battle between the Sea God and Black Hunter!
Fen and Yisha easily mixed into the pirate crowd.
Qi, hold on... Fen stood on tiptoe, trying to see the battle's progression.
However, the violent storms and tidal waves on the Sublimation Land made it difficult to see specific details.
They could only make out two blurry, high-speed figures within the storm!
Haige, seated in the premier viewing position, couldn't help but comment:
"Such an spectacular battle, but who would have thought Lord Sea God would fall for such a simple floral aspect skill. Has Lord Sea God been too lonely..."
"I'm not sure either. Resisting that skill requires powerful mental strength. Perhaps Lord Sea God's mental strength has been weakened..."
"With such a huge storm, even my dynamic vision and spiritual energy perception can hardly track it."
What exactly happened... Fen and Yisha completely couldn't understand Haige and the others' discussion.
Then, Fen mustered courage, disguising her spiritual energy field, and asked:
"Your Excellency Archbishop, what exactly happened?"
At that moment, the Sea God Pirates' Archbishop glanced at Fen and Yisha, then turned back and calmly replied:
"Lord Sea God has been charmed by the Black Hunter and is struggling in battle."
"!!!"
Despite their efforts to control their expressions, Fen and Yisha simultaneously opened their mouths wide!
Charm!?
As Goldenfinch people, they were extremely familiar with this skill.
Wasn't that a special skill requiring high charm?
Could the Black Hunter learn charm? Was his charm sufficient... Yisha remembered this required not only extremely high charm but also a floral aspect spiritual energy field.
Qi actually knows such charm skills? Why hasn't he used it on me... Fen was stunned.
After hearing the Archbishop's response, Fen and Yisha stood on tiptoe, even more curious as they looked toward the center of the Sublimation Land.
