After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 274: First Encounter [Origin], Blood Throne
The sunlight falls on the golden branches and leaves, reflecting brilliant light.

At this moment, all the residents outside the royal capital looked up and stared blankly at the huge golden tree that blocked out the sky.

Some of them even knelt down on the spot.

"A miracle! A miracle!"

"The gods have come!"

In front of the ten thousand meter tall golden tree, even the huge capital seemed insignificant.

The shadow cast by the giant tree blocked out the sunlight, chilling all living things both physically and mentally.

Compared with ordinary people, professionals feel it more strongly.

Within the range of the golden giant tree's radiation, the spirituality became extremely suppressed. Originally, it only took one point of strength to mobilize one point of spirituality, but now, at least two points, or even three points of strength are needed to do it.

These professionals who didn't understand what was happening also looked at the giant golden tree with dull eyes.

Even those who are professionals beyond the ordinary are no different from ordinary people at this moment.

……

"Welcome to the world of the golden tree."

The old voice echoed.

Among them, there is a sense of relief that comes from finally being released after being suppressed for so long.

In front of the giant golden tree.

The demigods who were originally suspended in the air all fell to the ground under the influence of a heavy pressure.

Their faces were pale, and it was obvious that they were under unimaginable pressure.

At this moment, there are only three people who can still fly.

Ryan, the first king of the Star Empire, and Achloe.

Under the golden light, those who have not reached the true God are all ants.

Since we are just ants, we have no ability to stand up in front of the Supreme Being.

"It surprises me."

Standing on the golden branches, the Golden Pope looked down at Acroy with surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect that you have reached the realm of True God."

"In a 'barren land' like the New Sea District."

Achloe's eyes were filled with solemnity, and he did not respond.

After expressing his surprise, the Golden Pope no longer paid too much attention to Acroy, but instead focused his attention on Ryan.

"Even a true god-level spiritual envoy can be wiped out."

"Sure enough, it is the evil god's power left over from the last era."

The Golden Pope smiled slightly: "However, from the beginning to the end, I never placed my hopes on those guys."

“The world has always been like this.”

“It is only when great power belongs to oneself that one can feel at peace.”

After being suppressed for a long time, the Golden Pope was very interested in talking:
"When facing the prophesied king of overthrow, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious."

"The spiritual concentration in the new sea area is too low. In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to break through to the realm of true god. It is impossible to go further."

“For this, I had to find another way.”

"Serve with the spirit of all living beings and bathe in the glory of the golden tree."

"After hundreds of years of accumulation, we finally took that step."

"What a pity. It could have been more perfect, but because of you, it fell short."

"What do you think I should do with you?"

As the words came to an end, the golden light became more solid, and a pressure several times heavier came crashing down. Among the three, Akloi, the weakest, whose figure floating in the air suddenly fell a long way.

Ryan's eyes were serious.

The Golden Pope in front of him gave him an unparalleled sense of oppression.

This feeling is just like in the Monster Hunter World in the past, when the Wandering Clone just had the strength to defeat the [Dream] special species, and then encountered the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon.

Although they are both at the level of true gods, there is already a huge chasm between them.

After breaking through the bottleneck of his realm, the Golden Pope, relying on hundreds of years of profound accumulation, suddenly rushed to the pinnacle of senior demigods!

It is an extremely powerful existence that is comparable to the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon.

In the traveling world, Ryan's traveling clone had just defeated the [Dream] Rusted Steel Wind Dragon. Therefore, he was very clear about how big the gap was between himself and the Golden Pope.

How should we fight this battle?
Just as Ryan's mind was racing as he considered countermeasures, a figure had already stepped past him, and walked towards the Golden Pope above, step by step, using the air as a ladder.

The first king of the Star Empire? !
Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then a voice sounded in his ear.

"Friend Ryan, I am sorry to trouble you in this battle."

"Leave the rest of the battle to me."

"This battle should have ended a thousand years ago, but it has been dragged on until now. It is indeed long enough."

Gray flames were burning on the body of the first king of the Star Empire, and the light was becoming brighter and brighter.

With every step he took upwards, the pressure surrounding him weakened a little.

By the time he and the Golden Pope were looking at each other in parallel, the remaining pressure was bearable even for the demigods below.

The terrifying momentum soars into the sky.

At this moment, the spiritual pressure of the First King of the Star Empire surged several times, enough to form a confrontation with the Golden Pope.

The gray flame had no distinct color, and it burned without any heat, but rather with extreme coldness.

"Old man, you have been hiding for so long, why don't you continue to endure it?"

Facing the first king of the Star Empire who was bursting out with all his strength, the Golden Pope's expression was as calm as before: "Why bother?"

"Just be a coward, and when I succeed, maybe I'll let you go."

"Hahaha--!"

A heroic laugh rang out, and disdain appeared in the eyes of the First King of the Star Empire: "How can you, a rat in the gutter who failed in the struggle in the Forbidden Sea Zone, be qualified to talk about me?"

"Let's see the real thing with our hands."

The first king of the Star Empire drew out the greatsword behind him, and a silent gray flame ignited from the sword.

His body suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Golden Pope.

The greatsword swung out, and facing the greatsword was the scepter held in the hand of the Golden Pope.

Gray and golden light burst out at the same time, the brilliance was so dazzling that even Ryan had to squint his eyes.

The terrifying black cracks spread out in all directions with the collision between the two as the center. From a distance, it looked like a spider web-like crack appeared in the sky.

The stalemate of the collision lasted only three seconds. The violent gray light and golden light continued to collide and gradually expanded, making it impossible for people outside to see the specific situation.

Even Ryan is the same.

Although he possesses the power of a true God, he does not have the realm of a true God and does not have a "little world" of his own.

Right now, the "small world" of the First King of the Star Empire and the Golden Pope were twisted and overlapped together. If people from the outside world did not go in, they would definitely not be able to know the situation inside.

However, facing the “small world” of the top senior True Gods, it is still too difficult for a novice True God to get involved.

Ryan flew to Achloy's side and said, "Do you have any solution?"

"We can't just sit there and wait."

Akroy stared at the blending and distorted "little world" above, and the complexity in his eyes was extremely rich.

"Grandfather has made up his mind."

"At this time, the only thing we can do is wait."

There was an emotion in Achloe's voice that Ryan couldn't understand.

He frowned.

Waiting around has never been his style.

But at this time, rushing in blindly would not only fail to help the First King of the Sta Empire, but might also drag down the other party due to his own lack of strength.

No matter how unwilling he was, Ryan could only wait quietly.

As time passed, the anxiety in his heart was like a poisonous insect invading his bone marrow, bringing him bone-eating pain every minute and every second.

Suddenly, the unusual movement coming from above made Ryan's heart move.

He lowered his head and looked at the [Holy Relic: First Embrace of Blood] on his hands, and a light appeared in his eyes.

Sublimation, done?

Impatiently, he looked at the introduction on the panel.

-

[Relic: First Embrace of Blood: In order to entrust his infinite longing for the [Enchant Benevolent God], the [Lord of Blood] plucked the thinnest thread from the sacred tree... and this hatred was integrated into the relic. Even after so many years, it has not diminished in the slightest - you have completed the longing, and on this basis, you have gone a step further and completed the final sublimation.

Equipment requirements: [Physique] ≥2000.0
[Blood Embrace] has a maximum blood gas storage limit of 2000 points. It can be automatically restored after consumption, and 200 points can be restored every hour. You can also speed up recovery by consuming your own blood (the higher the blood quality, the better the recovery effect). Current health: 2000/ 2000.

[Blood Embrace] features adaptive resizing and has three different forms: melee, ranged, and defensive.

- Melee: Consume 50~1000 blood to form a blood sword (can be transformed into other types of melee weapons. The quality is based on the user's [Physique] and the blood consumed). The attack has tearing and bleeding effects. The more blood consumed, the higher the damage. When the blood is full, the blood sword transforms into a true blood sword, with real tearing and real bleeding effects.

—— Long-range: Consume 50~1000 blood and form a blood spear (the quality is based on the user's [physique] and the blood consumed). After focusing for 1 second, it has a "lock-on" effect. After the throw hits, it causes penetration and bleeding effects. The more blood consumed, the higher the damage. When the blood is full, you only need to focus on it to have a "lock-on" effect, and the blood spear will transform into a true blood spear. When attacking shield-type abilities, it has true penetration.

——Defense: Consume 100~2000 blood and form a "blood core" (the quality is based on the user's [physique] and the consumed blood). Before the "blood core" is broken, the enemy's attack will not work on you. The more blood you consume, the higher the damage you can resist. When the blood is full, the blood barrier transforms into a true blood barrier. When the enemy hits the "true blood barrier" unfolded by the "blood core", it will trigger "real recoil" and "real anti-injury", causing you to fall into a state of severe stiffness and real bleeding. The higher the enemy's attack, the stronger the recoil and the higher the anti-injury.

——[Awakening Effect]: This pair of relics from the [Blood King] will be fully awakened after you hunt ten spirits. ——Based on the main weapon and combat style you use, you will gain the [Energy Control-Blood] derivative skill tree inheritance, currently unlocked:
[Special Skill - Blood Amplification]: Passive, the strength of blood skills is increased by 200% (originally 100%).

[Special Skill - Blood Explosion]: Active, makes the blood in the body boil and explode. On the original basis, the strength of blood skills is increased by 200% (originally 100%), lasting for one minute, and can only be used once a day.

[Special Skill - Blood Heart]: Active, condenses two "Blood Hearts" in the body, each of which can store 2000 blood energy in advance (originally 1000 points).

(After using a special skill 1000 times, you can unlock more special skills).

——[Sublimation Effect - Power of Blood]: Passive/Active.

Passive effect: Control the power of blood, the intensity depends on [spirituality], and at the same time, have the qualifications to contact the source of blood.

Active effects:

(1) Actively activate the blood power in the body and enter the "blood boiling" state, which lasts for one minute. During the "blood boiling" period, the blood damage caused is doubled. (Can be used only once a day).

(2) Blood Throne (Secret): Summon the phantom of the [Blood King] remaining in the blood source to descend, and inflict a blood mark of absolute hit on the locked enemy. Each of your subsequent attacks will cause the enemy to have a "blood tear", reducing the maximum health limit by 10% each time, up to a maximum of five layers. Even if this negative state is cleared, the tear damage caused will still remain.)
ps: The blood deposited in the deepest part of the world, please revive now! 】

-

The long prompts in front of him made Ryan dizzy.

After the upgrade, the original skills of [Holy Relic: First Embrace of Blood] have been greatly enhanced.

The special power brought by sublimation is called [Blood Power].

Its passive effect is very special, and there is no clear value. Controlling the power of blood is a bit too general, but Ryan can indeed feel that at this moment, his control over his own blood and even the blood attribute spirituality in the external environment has made a qualitative leap.

Another effect of this passive skill made Ryan more concerned.

——[Blood Origin]
Ryan had heard about the "roots" a long time ago.

The Golden Tree's strict ban on witches is precisely to prevent the possibility of witches regaining control of the "root".

What makes Ryan feel sorry is that this special skill only qualifies him to access the [Source of Blood Donation].

Ryan had no idea how to contact it or where the [Blood Source] was.

But anyway, it’s better to have something than nothing.

What if it might be useful in the future?

The active effect of the power of sublimation is extremely powerful.

Compared to the one-time burst of "Blue King", the tearing and reduction of upper limit of vitality brought by "Blood Throne" can reach up to 50%!

The overall damage is higher, but it requires multiple attacks to trigger.

This skill can generate a large amount of damage in a very short period of time for monsters with thick skin and flesh, as long as it can break their defense.

In general, the upgraded [Relic: First Embrace of Blood] can be said to be reborn.

Ryan is looking forward to seeing what kind of power the "True Blood Spear" will have when it explodes with full force.
Do it when you think of it.

Under Akroy's astonished eyes, Ryan took the initiative to rush into the "small world" above.

As soon as he broke in, a strong feeling of oppression filled his whole body. The spiritual pressure of a senior True God was extremely strong.

Ryan stood at the edge of the "small world", dark red blood light in his hand gathered and quickly formed the shape of a spiral spear.

1000 points of blood!
Blood amplification!

Blood bursts out!

The blood is boiling!

With the triple blessing, the dark red spear in Ryan's hand burst out with astonishing sharpness.

Before he could exert any force, dark cracks began to spread in the space at the tip of the spear.

Even though they were separated by a long distance, the First King of the Star Empire and the Royal Pope, who were fighting fiercely in the center of the "small world", were stimulated by the movement and cast their eyes over.

Ryan stepped forward, bent his body, and gathered strength.

then.

break out!

Dark red blood light penetrates the sky!

In the suddenly shrinking pupils of the Golden Pope, he left at a very fast speed!
