Chapter 487 An Rong's Secret

Talent Name: Seed of the Primordial Deep Sea

"Talent Description: When you devour marine creatures, you will absorb their deep-sea bloodline to increase your own bloodline concentration. When the bloodline concentration gauge is full, you will evolve according to the optimal direction of your current bloodline."

"Note: As an ancient primordial seed, your evolution will no longer be restricted."

Wu Chang's innate talent of the Primordial Seed of the Deep Sea comes from the Lord of the Deep Sea in the Quiet Town plane.

The Lord of the Deep Sea has an extraordinary origin; His abilities and methods are exceptionally sophisticated, and He likely comes from at least the third level of the Abyss.

It dispersed its body into several pieces, escaped the layered barriers of the abyss, and smuggled the fragments of its flesh into the desolate realm, transforming them into avatars with flesh and blood.

It first transformed into the Lord of the Deep Sea, becoming the totem of the faith of the Kingdom of Sealand. Then it dragged the entire continent where the Kingdom of Sealand was located into the deep sea, using the faith of the entire continent as a breeding ground. It took thousands of years to bring it into the "Source of the Deep Sea" in the Wilderness and nurture it until it was on the verge of hatching.

The "Source of the Deep Sea" is so high in rank that even the Omniscient Crystal cannot determine its origin, and can only provide some vague information: that consuming the Source of the Deep Sea can unlock the bloodline shackles of deep-sea aliens and obtain the primordial bloodline.

The Omniscient Crystal did not provide further explanation of what the Primordial Bloodline is, but its significance is evident from the name alone and the fact that the Lord of the Deep Sea went to such great lengths to infiltrate the Desolate Realm in order to incubate it.

Will Wu Chang, who possesses the primordial bloodline of the deep sea, drown?
The answer is no.

He is a sea giant. Although he can move on land, the water is his absolute home turf.

Enveloped by the formless water demon, Wu Chang not only did not feel suffocated or uncomfortable, but instead felt like a fish in water, swinging his fists even more powerfully.

The addition of the Water Demon to the battle not only failed to help the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King, but also plunged it into an even greater crisis.

Under Wu Chang's flurry of punches, the stone armor on the head of the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King shattered, revealing the flesh and blood beneath.

The Rock Armor Rhinoceros King is a demon transformed from a strange beast. It is extremely intelligent. Its most prized rock armor was broken, which made it feel death approaching for the first time and caused it to want to retreat.

It struggled frantically with all its might, trying to lift the human straddling it and escape far away.

But Wu Chang had no intention of letting it go. He pressed down hard on the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King's horn, and no matter how much its body swayed, its head was firmly fixed in place, enduring his relentless iron punches.

It must be said that the Rock Armor Rhino King is a handy punching bag. Not only does it have a solid rock armor on its body, but its skin and flesh are also exceptionally tough. Since it has gained the Sea Giant transformation, it has rarely been able to find a target that allows it to punch with all its might.

After he finished punching and came to his senses, he found that the head of the Rock Armored Rhinoceros King beneath him had been dented into a large pit. Its eyes were lifeless, and the strength of its limbs as it struggled was constantly decreasing. It was clear that it was taking in little air and exhaling much air, and it looked like it wouldn't live much longer.

Even the indestructible earth rhinoceros horn was smashed off by him and held in his hand.

Adhering to the principle of protecting animals, he didn't want the Rock Armored Rhinoceros King to suffer any more and wanted to give it a quick death. However, Gu Yuchen, who was watching from the sidelines, was not so compassionate. He began to shout urgently, and amidst the shouts, the Wuxiang Water Demon went into a riot.

It transformed into a raging flood, constantly pounding against Wu Chang's body, trying to push him off the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King.

Meanwhile, the water demons that had already attached themselves to him continued to burrow into his body, seemingly trying to harm him from the inside out.

The water demons were too small, and Wu Chang's 120-meter-tall body was too enormous, so some water demons inevitably crawled into his mouth through the gaps in his lips.

He was about to spit out the water demon in his mouth, but it melted instantly upon entering his mouth, refreshing and slightly sweet. He smacked his lips, not only feeling the lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, but also feeling a cool sensation travel from the tip of his tongue straight to his dantian, and then extending to his limbs and bones, which felt incredibly pleasant.

In a daze, he heard melodious and light music, along with a deep male voice reciting lines:

"High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods."

He focused his gaze on the formless water demons that surrounded him, desperately trying to burrow into his body.

Bro, you smell amazing.

The description of the Primordial Seed of the Deep Sea states that its effects are marine life, but in reality, it is not picky about what it eats. It can eat things from the sea, things from rivers, living things, and even souls.

If the water demon without form is soaking in a corpse, he might be hesitant to eat it due to food safety concerns.

However, the water demons in the Formless Water Demon are all spirits, and they melt in the mouth, smooth and tender, which makes him lose all restraint.

He pretended to be unable to resist the attack of the Formless Water Demon and opened his mouth. The Formless Water Demon, which was worried about not being able to enter his body, immediately took the initiative to burrow inside.

He cooperated fully and began to swallow large gulps.

The moment the Formless Water Demon enters his stomach, it is considered as if he has swallowed it, triggering the effect of the Primal Seed of the Deep Sea talent. It is completely digested by him, transforming into pure water attribute source power, purifying the bloodline within his body.

The Water Demon is the embodiment of floods; logically, if it were to unfold its body, it could fill a great river.

However, the speed at which it entered Wu Chang's body was far slower than the speed at which Wu Chang digested it.

It kept pouring its body into Wu Chang's mouth, but it couldn't even make Wu Chang drink until his stomach was bloated, let alone assimilate Wu Chang's spiritual energy and blood from the inside out and control him.

Unlike the Formless Water Demon, whose essence was being digested and who was becoming increasingly weak, Wu Chang became more and more energetic the more he drank, and felt his internal power growing stronger with each drink.

Limited by the upper limit of the Desolate Realm, his power could not break through 500 points, but he could feel that the abyssal alien bloodline in his body was beginning to slowly evolve and move towards divinity.

During the standoff between Wu Chang and the Wuxiang Water Demon, he stopped beating the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King, threw down the broken rhinoceros horn with his left hand, clutched his throat, and swung his right fist over his abdomen, seemingly trying to relieve the abdominal cramps.

This scene led Gu Yuchen and the others to believe that they had the upper hand, and they focused all their attention on the players. The other four Grandmasters joined forces to form a domain, which turned into a pine forest to keep the players out.

An Rong wanted to make a move, but Wu Chang stopped him with a telepathic message.

As for the players who followed Wu Chang, they were initially fooled by Wu Chang's acting skills. However, when they looked down, they noticed that Wu Chang's right hand, which was covering his abdomen, had his index finger and thumb forming a circle while the other three fingers were naturally spread out, making an "OK" gesture. They then realized that he was faking it.

To match Wu Chang's acting skills, they shouted enthusiastically, but only symbolically unleashed a few skills at the pine forest, without actually doing anything.

The situation remained deadlocked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Gu Yuchen and the others began to realize that something was amiss.

The trapped celestial being had been in a position that was difficult to resist from the beginning, and that he could drown at any moment. However, after a stick of incense had burned, his face not only did not turn pale, but instead became rosy, and he even couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Gu Yuchen and the others only suspected a trap, but Wuxiang Shuixiao was truly struggling to cope.

Unlike Wu Chang, whose complexion gradually became rosy and whose eyes gradually brightened, the bodies that Wu Chang digested were all related to its origin. With each bite Wu Chang ate, he became weaker.

At this moment, the energy it inherited from the Water Demon King's land of inheritance has been almost completely drained by Wu Chang, and its cultivation is about to regress to what it was before becoming a Demon King.

If the Aspectless Water Demon had a human form, it would surely be gaunt, pale, with heavy eye bags, looking as if it had been drained dry.

Even with its low intelligence, it sensed something was wrong. But when it tried to pull away, it found that Wu Chang's hands, which were covering his neck and stomach, suddenly changed to a hugging shape, holding it tightly in his arms.

The mouth, which was originally passively swallowing, began to suck forcefully, swallowing its body whole.

Thus, what everyone saw was a bizarre scene.

The water flow of the formless water demon reversed, and thousands of water demons, as if they had seen their natural enemy, desperately fled in the opposite direction of peace.

But Heping suddenly changed his attack, grabbing the Mutual Ape with both hands, his body swelling to three hundred meters tall, and swallowing the Mutual Ape's body whole.

Each of the water demons within the Formless Water Demon is no less powerful than a cultivator from a major sect. Twenty of them gathered together can make even a second-rate expert struggle, while a hundred wielding water can make even a first-rate expert flee in terror.

Thousands upon thousands of water demons surged forth, and even grandmasters would retreat in their presence.

The once arrogant water demon was now struggling and screaming in despair as it was peacefully swallowed up.

The players stopped using their skills, Gu Yuchen and the others dispelled the pine forest, and An Rong, who had just stood up, sat down again, staring blankly at the giant drinking deeply from the river in the distance.

The once bustling altar for worshipping heaven fell silent instantly, with only the sound of peaceful and hearty swallowing echoing between heaven and earth.

Two minutes later, as he sucked up the last of the Water Demon's essence, a notification popped up in front of him.

"You have slain the Water Demon King, making a significant contribution to the Great Xuanxuan Royal Family in eliminating demons and upholding justice. Contribution value +1000." "Your current contribution value is: 14550, ranking 1st among all players."

He let out a sigh of relief after drinking, then let out a satisfied burp.

Cool!
Swallowing the entire Water Demon greatly enhanced the deep-sea alien bloodline within him.

Within their bodies, the sea giant and the abyss serpent were both condensing the rudiments of divine seeds. After consuming two water-type demigods like the Formless Water Demon, they would be able to fully condense the divine seeds, allowing their deep-sea alien bloodline to evolve to the divine level.

Externally, it makes his transformed body more like that of the Lord of the Deep Sea.

Although he was a sea giant before, he was more like a giant overall, with only a few features of deep-sea fish in his body.

But now, huge bulges have grown on his back, as if something is about to pierce the skin on his back and extend out of his body.

A thick tentacle grew from the back of his shoulder, thicker and more flexible than his arm, making it seem as if he had grown two extra arms.

If it goes a step further, and grows two more tentacles and two more heads, it will become an aquatic version of a three-headed, six-armed creature.

In addition, a deep blue mist appeared on his body, giving off a cold and ominous feeling, like a thick fog enveloping a ship before it was about to be swallowed by the sea.

The atmosphere at the sacrificial altar became eerie. Everyone first looked at the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King, whose horn had been broken and whose head had been smashed, and who was on the verge of death, at Heping's feet. Then they recalled the Formless Water Demon that Heping had swallowed in its desperate howls.

Finally, he looked at the only one standing in the middle, like a demon god, and gazed at Peace.

For a moment, no one could tell who the demon king was and who the boss was.

Gu Yuchen looked up at Wu Chang, who was 300 meters tall, his legs trembling like leaves, and he could not hold the long sword in his hand, which might fall to the ground at any moment.

He cried out, trembling, "Monster! What kind of monster are you?!"

Wu Chang scoffed upon hearing this, then used his tentacles to pick up the rhinoceros horn that had fallen to the ground, aimed the tip at the rock armor that had been smashed through the head of the Rock Armor Rhinoceros King, and stabbed it in hard.

With a mournful wail, the Rock Armored Rhinoceros King breathed its last.

"You killed the Earth Demon King, making a great contribution to eliminating demons and upholding justice for the Great Xuanxuan Royal Family. Contribution value +1000."

"Your current contribution value is 15550, ranking 1st among all players."

He looked down at Gu Yuchen and sneered in a deep, thunderous voice:
"I am exorcising demons and upholding justice; you are the monsters."

Gu Yuchen met Wu Chang's gaze and saw Wu Chang's huge pupils, as if staring directly into the deepest part of the sea, the eye leading to the endless underworld.

An indescribable shock pierced his mind, causing his already tense mind to snap abruptly.

His will was shattered, and he fell into a daze.

He muttered, "Monster, die, monster," and brandished his longsword, slashing at Wu Chang.

He didn't use any magic or swordsmanship techniques; he simply charged at Wu Chang like a madman.

Wu Chang casually lashed out with his other giant tentacle, smashing Gu Yuchen, who wasn't using spiritual energy to protect himself, into a spray of blood.

Looking at Gu Yuchen, who had instantly vaporized, Wu Chang glanced awkwardly at An Rong and said:
"Sorry, I got carried away and didn't expect him to have no defense."

"Fortunately, there are still a few left."

As soon as Wu Chang finished speaking, the remaining dozen or so members of Renxin Pavilion were struck dumb. Hearing that they had been called out by the monster, their last shred of reason collapsed. They held their longswords to their necks and slit their throats on the spot.

Wu Chang clicked his tongue. Damn it, there are no survivors now.

He deactivated his sea giant transformation and returned to his normal state. The rhinoceros horn he held in his tentacles shrank along with him.

Item Name: Corner of the Earth

Item Type: Special

"Item Description: The core left behind by the Earth Demon King Rock Armor Rhinoceros King after its death. It contains its understanding of the rules of the earth. After use, there is a chance to learn abilities related to the rules of the earth. It is also an extremely precious forging material. Items made from it will be incredibly sturdy and have the effect of changing size according to the user's body."

It can change size according to body shape, what a great thing! He was worried that after the Sea Giant transformed, he would lack a weapon or a suitable piece of armor. The Rock Armor Rhinoceros King knew his predicament and specially came to offer his head, how righteous!

Unfortunately, the Water Demon drank too quickly, and the Divine Seed of the Deep Sea had such good digestive ability that nothing was left. Otherwise, he could have had another relic of the Demon King.

Having regained his human form, Wu Chang arrived at the altar, looked at An Rong sitting on the stone steps, and asked:
"Are you ok?"

An Rong nodded at first, but quickly shook his head and said:

"To be honest, it's not good."

Wu Chang shrugged and said:
"They committed suicide too quickly, leaving no survivors. It seems we can only return to the Human Alliance and capture the other cultivators from the Benevolent Heart Pavilion to find out why they became traitors."

An Rong looked conflicted. After a few minutes, he finally made up his mind, reached out, and erected a barrier around himself.

He said:
"Your Excellency Peace, Sect Leader Tang speaks highly of you. Before he left, he told me that if I encountered difficulties and could not accomplish them alone, I could trust you."

"Your Excellency Peace, may I trust you?"

Wu Chang calmly said:
"That depends on what Tai Sui wants to do. If it is to subdue demons and protect the righteous path, and for the sake of all living beings, then peace is an inescapable duty."

He didn't say the second half of his sentence, leaving himself an out. Although his words sounded nice, as long as An Rong's hidden side quest reward was generous enough, even if An Rong wanted his help for his own selfish reasons, he wasn't against talking to him.

An Rong's expression relaxed a bit, and he said:
“I know why they betrayed humanity and attacked me time and time again.”

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow. Judging from An Rong's previous words, he knew that this kid knew something, and now it seemed that he was right.

He pretended not to understand and said:

"Why did they do that?"

An Rong chuckled self-deprecatingly and said:
"Because they saw the divine connection I possessed."

"Your destiny with immortality?" Wu Chang was somewhat surprised by An Rong's answer. It sounded reasonable, but it didn't make sense in practice.

"Can one's affinity with immortality be severed?"

Immortal Fate: It is the opportunity to become an immortal. The word "fate" means both chance and destiny.

It may be an opportunity, but fate plays an even greater role.

Fate is not a treasure, unlike killing someone to steal their treasure, where killing An Rong will reveal his immortal destiny.

Let alone directly generating immortal destiny, even if An Rong were willing to transfer immortal destiny, he wouldn't have the ability to condense it again, given his current level.

The idea of ​​secretly harming An Rong to seize the immortal destiny sounds rather far-fetched.

An Rong knew what Wu Chang was thinking and explained:
"If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't be able to sever their connection to immortality in this way, but I can."

Wu Chang knew the key point was coming, so he asked:

"why?"

An Rong shook his head slightly and said:
"Because, like the direct disciples of Renxin Pavilion, I have a portion of demon blood flowing through my veins. If they kill me, they can inherit my immortal destiny through the bloodline devouring method."
