Although Lu Ning already possessed Saint-level power when he was at the seventh rank, the three of them, including Ya En, understood that Lu Ning's strength would only increase when he reached the ninth rank.

However, in the minds of the three, even if Lu Ning was stronger, he was probably only much stronger than a Saint, and it was unlikely that he could truly reach the level of a demigod.

After all, the difference between a saint and a demigod is simply too great.

After all, one is a human, and the other has already reached the realm of gods; it can be said to be a fundamental transformation.

But to their utter surprise, Lu Ning now actually possesses demigod-level power.

This left the three of them, including Yann, somewhat blank in their minds.

While the three of them, Yann and his companions, were stunned, Lu Ning put away the Crown of Pain, leaving only the Crimson Sword to continue absorbing the corpses of the marine monsters and the mutated ones.

Although there were endless streams of monstrous beasts rushing out of the ocean, with the Crimson Sword, no monstrous beast could break through the twenty-meter radius of the coastline in the area where Lu Ning was located.

Lu Ning didn't pay attention to the Crimson Sword hunting the calamity beasts; instead, he took out a gray-white pocket watch.

The bone pocket watch is a time-related soul artifact that Lu Ning obtained.

The bone pocket watch consumed the most pale crystals among all the extremely dangerous soul artifacts he currently possesses, making it presumably the most powerful.

Lu Ning has now absorbed the source of contamination from the disordered time insects and has acquired a certain amount of time-related abilities.

However, Lu Ning had been refining his mental energy during this period and hadn't used it much.

Using time-related abilities to activate the bone pocket watch should yield good results.

Lu Ning circulated his mental energy and began to activate the bone pocket watch.

The next moment, all the marine life in front of Lu Ning froze in place.

Even the sea, which had been churning with waves due to the reappearance of the calamity beast, froze.

Time stopped.

The bone pocket watch's original time-stopping ability has been greatly enhanced, and its range has become extremely large, probably reaching a radius of one kilometer.

This is much stronger than when it was at a high-risk level.

Moreover, previously, although the bone pocket watch could interfere with Saint-level powerhouses to some extent, it could only last for a short moment.

Now, several seconds have passed, and even all the Saint-level powerhouses in these hordes of calamity beasts are still affected by the time stop.

Very strong!

A glint flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. Now the bone pocket watch should be able to truly affect demigod-level beings.

However, this bone pocket watch requires more mental energy than Lu Ning had imagined.

Just from using it once, Lu Ning's mental energy was consumed by about one percent.

This means that even if Lu Ning doesn't use other soul artifacts, he can only use the bone pocket watch a maximum of one hundred times before his mental energy is completely depleted.

It seems that my mental strength is still a bit lacking.

Besides the high energy consumption, the other side effects are the main problems.

At this moment, Lu Ning appears to be unharmed, but his internal organs have turned into sand.

This was the erosion of time; Lu Ning's flesh and blood were directly corroded into the sands of time.

This is because Lu Ning himself possesses time-related powers, which can mitigate some of the side effects.

Otherwise, Lu Ning would probably have turned into the sands of time.

After Lu Ning's internal organs turned into the Sands of Time, it took him a full three seconds to restore them.

The side effects of time-related damage are also quite troublesome to recover from.

However, for Lu Ning, this bone pocket watch was still extremely useful.

After all, when facing a demigod-level opponent, as long as you can use your bone pocket watch to influence the opponent's time, even if it's only for a second, it's a huge advantage.

After all, he himself currently possesses demigod-level power.

As for now, Lu Ning put away the bone pocket watch.

The opponent before him is not yet worth Lu Ning using this bone pocket watch.

While controlling the skeletal warriors to hunt down monstrous beasts, he continued to grow the tentacles of the Crimson Sword, allowing them to spread to nearly ten kilometers.

This also allowed Lu Ning to single-handedly defend the coastline on both sides for ten kilometers, or twenty kilometers.

This is even without Lu Ning lifting a finger; it's solely due to the effect of the Crimson Sword itself.

The three people behind Lu Ning, including Ya En, exchanged glances and looked at each other blankly.

Then Yan grinned and said, "...It seems like we don't need to do anything anymore."

Osiris and Aishalin nodded, their expressions quite complex.

The entire coastline spans approximately fifty kilometers.

Lu Ning's crimson sword, combined with the skeletal warrior, was enough to defend the entire fifty-kilometer radius.

All Yann and the other two need to do is watch from behind.

As saints, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and their feelings were quite complicated.

Lu Ning stopped paying attention to the horde of calamities on the coastline and looked up into the distance.

That was the area where the ocean aggregate demigod and the white kite fought.

…………

In the sky, Bai Yuan's expression was indifferent.

A faint light appeared in the matrix patterns in her eyes as she looked at the distant ocean aggregate demigod.

I never expected there to be such a powerful demigod here.

The White Night Dome she just used utilized spatial folding and traction to directly receive sunlight from the distant void, while simultaneously converging to form a powerful beam of sunlight.

If they go all out, they could inflict devastating damage on the mainland.

However, facing this demigod, it failed to produce the effect expected.

Later, she dragged the demigod into a two-dimensional space, hoping to deal with him by tearing the two-dimensional space apart, but she still failed.
