Dian Liushi never understood until his death why a small figure at the fourth level of the Divine Lord Realm could burst out with power beyond common sense and completely crush him. If he had asked Dian Jiuzhi in advance, he probably wouldn't have been so self-righteous as to cause trouble for Yun Che.
“The Emperor of the Divine Kingdom is such a waste, he is simply vulnerable.” Yun Che looked back at Dian Liushi’s corpse indifferently and frowned.
"Your power has already transcended the constraints of realms. Right now, you're capable of fighting even a fifth-level Divine Destruction Realm opponent, let alone a mere first-level Divine Destruction Realm opponent." Li Suo seemed to have suddenly thought of something and continued, "Do you want me to praise your current strength? It seems everyone has this desire."
“No, you’re mistaken. I was wondering how I could achieve a natural ‘death’ if I acted too strong. While it would allow Emperor Yuan to see my extraordinary qualities, it wouldn’t be a good thing for my subsequent plans.” Yun Che restrained his aura but did not retract the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword. “I hope Dian Jiuzhi won’t let me down.”
"Son of God Senluo is known as the number one son of God in the abyss. In my opinion, there is no need to doubt his strength. You just need to think about how many moves you can withstand." Li Su teased.
“…”
Yun Che was speechless. Is there anything so depressing as this?
“Your words are becoming more and more poisonous.” Yun Che lowered his head and picked up the teleportation star ring on Dian Liushi’s body. At this moment, the star ring had lost its light and the ability to teleport, like a dead object.
"It's just as I thought. This teleportation ring not only has a teleportation function, but also a monitoring function. Once it leaves the host, it will soon lose its effectiveness. Perhaps the gods in the Pure Land are watching our performance right now."
In the Pure Land Inner Hall, just as Yun Che had said, fourteen stars were suspended and shining in the air. Above each star was the name of each contestant, and next to the star would also be displayed the number of Abyss Cores that the contestant had obtained so far.
All the gods stared at the stars in their own kingdoms, their eyes never moving away.
There was no sign of Emperor Yuan and the four great priests in the inner hall.
When the star representing the "Sixth Sense of the Palace" went out, everyone was stunned. Less than an hour after the start of this brutal competition, one competitor had already withdrawn from the competition.
Jueluo Divine Venerable's expression was extremely grim. He snorted coldly and slammed his fist on the table. "What a waste! He will only bring shame to Senluo Divine Nation."
Dian Luohou didn't care about Dian Liushi's death at all, but as the strongest among the seven gods, and as the first among the six gods, Senluo Divine Kingdom was a little embarrassed.
"Hey, Old Master, don't lose your temper. You still have the Divine Son Jiuzhi. The Senluo Divine Kingdom is just at a temporary disadvantage. What's more, this kid Dian Jiuzhi has obtained ten Abyss Cores in a short period of time, far ahead of others." Meng Kongchan said comfortingly.
"That's right, Brother Dian, you must not lose your composure. The competition has just begun and everything is unknown. It's just a pity for the kid Liu Shi. It seems that the fog sea is indeed full of dangers." Hua Fuchen echoed.
"You two are so close, singing the same tune. When did you become so close?" Dian Luohou's eyes were filled with doubt. "But you are right. This is just the beginning. Jiuzhi will never let me down."
Dian Luohou laughed loudly, completely unconcerned about what had just happened.
Meng Kongchan and Hua Fuchen looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They both sighed in their hearts, haven't the hints we gave you in the past three years been enough?
——
Outside the sea of fog, Yun Che's spiritual sense discovered the figure of another contestant.
“Long Wangchu and I are both at the fourth level of the Divine Lord Realm. However, his realm seems a bit superficial. He can’t even defeat a Abyss Beast of the same level.” Yun Che was somewhat puzzled.
As a dragon who is as famous as the gods and goddesses of the six countries, Long Wangchu's performance is really disappointing.
Long Wangchu secretly groaned in his heart. He had just been teleported to the fog sea when he encountered a level three Divine Lord Realm Abyss Beast. After a fierce battle, although he won by chance, the battle affected a wide area and attracted another level four Divine Lord Realm Abyss Beast. He was currently fighting with this Abyss Beast and had already suffered many injuries.
“Forget it. Since the dragon clan treated Long Xi well, I’ll help him this time.” Yun Che slowly approached Long Wangchu.
"Damn it! Why am I so unlucky? I just teleported here and encountered such a powerful Abyss Beast. The blood essence in its body has not been fully absorbed yet. Now I can't beat the Abyss Beast of the same level."
Long Wangchu was almost crying and had already thought about teleporting away immediately, but when he thought of the Dragon Lord's wrath, he gritted his teeth and rekindled his courage.
"Instead of being beaten by the Dragon Lord, I might as well fight with you, a beast!" A dazzling golden light burst out from Long Wangchu's whole body, and the essence and blood from Long Xi remaining in his body began to merge and absorb at an accelerated rate.
A fifth-level Divine Lord Realm power emanated from Long Wangchu, and he actually broke through at this critical moment.
Yun Che froze in his tracks, frozen in place.
"What's wrong with you? Long Wangchu's breakthrough during the battle shouldn't have caused you to lose your mind to this extent, right?" Li Su was puzzled.
“Just now, I felt a familiar feeling from him, as if we were connected by blood. It was very strange.” Yun Che closed his eyes and concentrated his mind to feel it again. “It was only for a moment, and now it’s gone. Maybe it was just my illusion.”
"Maybe you thought too much after entering the abyss, and your whole body was too tense. I can feel that even when you were with Hua Caili, you were constantly calculating, thinking, and analyzing, without stopping for a moment. You are too tired." If Li Su had a real body, her face would be filled with heartache and sadness at this moment.
“Perhaps. In this world of the abyss, every step I take is like walking on thin ice, like licking blood on the tip of a knife. I can’t relax for a moment. But it will be fine. I am the Cloud Emperor of the God Realm, the Lord of Misty Demons, and the Emperor of the Sea of Mist. I will not fall easily.” Yun Che shook his head, attributing his recent trance to his own problems.
"It seems we should go deeper into the sea of fog. There are no more targets worth hunting in this outer area."
After Long Wangchu’s breakthrough, Yun Che changed his mind and began to head towards the depths of the fog sea.
If it weren't for Long Xi's existence, a loser like Long Wangchu wouldn't have been able to attract Yun Che's attention at all.
Half a day later, nearly a hundred Abyss Cores appeared in Yun Che's hands. He was like a killing god, and none of the Abyss Beasts he encountered along the way could escape his clutches.
“Such a record should be enough to attract the attention of the Abyss Emperor. The next step is to make him show up and come to see me.” Yun Che placed a fourth-level Abyss Core of the God Destruction Realm into the Sky Poison Pearl. He had already demonstrated his absolute strength.
“Hmm?” Yun Che’s spirits lifted, a long-lost smile appearing on his face. “I never thought that the first person I would find in the depths of the sea of fog would be her.”
As most of the competitive godsons and goddesses moved deeper into the fog sea, the search range of the abyss beasts sent by Yun Che continued to shrink, and their efficiency became increasingly higher.
