Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 428 Ring
Under the burst of golden light from the candle, the part of Ktayat connected to the seabed was directly shattered. Mu Xiang, not satisfied with this, flashed forward, clasped his hands together, and the surging golden light lifted Ktayat up. The next moment, Mu Xiang soared upwards, and the enormous black water aggregate trembled…

Because it was forcibly pulled out of the sea by such a small human!

In his candle-holding state, Mu Xiang's speed was already unbelievable. After unleashing his full power, he barely gave Ketayate any time to react before carrying it out of the sea.

Zheng Zha let out a roar and burst out of the black water wrapped in a ball of red flames, then looked in shock at Mu Xiang soaring into the sky.

The black water aggregate in the air struggled frantically. Its enormous and elongated body, supported by a small ball of golden light, looked extremely disproportionate. But what shocked Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie was that this black water aggregate was completely unable to break free!
Knowing that Mu Xiang was physically strong was one thing, but witnessing him lift such a huge monster like a chicken was quite another...

The next moment, Mu Xiang exerted his strength upwards, and Ketayate, which had been bound by his power, was released and finally managed to turn sideways in mid-air. Just as it was about to dissipate, a torrent of golden light pierced through its body from below.

Mu Xiang unleashed a palm strike, his entire body bursting forth with golden light. The resulting hole was large, but it appeared somewhat small on Ktayate's body. Amidst this incongruous contrast in size, the divine body formed from black water trembled violently, then froze in mid-air.

"Zheng Zha, watch out!"

Zheng Zha nodded and winked at Zhang Jie, at which point a vast spiritual connection was established, expanding his perception range.

Just then, the black water aggregate in the air exploded, turning into a sky full of water droplets, covering an immeasurable area, falling from the sky like a torrential rain and crashing down on the sea!

Mu Xiang's gaze sharpened; the splashes of water had returned to their normal color. But he didn't urge him any further; at this point, he should trust his partner.

Zhang Jie suddenly patted Zheng Zha, and almost simultaneously, Zheng Zha's expression hardened, and he instantly unleashed a burst of energy, shooting diagonally into the air.

Although this burst of fire was instantaneous, it was far more powerful than when Zheng Zha first created this move. Wherever it passed, the water dissipated, and even the air itself distorted. The dark red fireball was also incredibly fast, striking its target almost instantly upon release.

A shrill, distorted wail rang out in the air, but the fireball continued its rapid outward trajectory, tracing a blazing spiral in the air before returning to Zheng Zha's hand.

Mu Xiang flashed and appeared beside Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie: "Gotcha?"

“Got it…” Zheng Zha nodded, then held up the fireball.

A figure in a gray robe stepped through the air; it was Nordens. He carefully examined the fireball, then solemnly bowed to the three of them.

As a deity of the Dream Realm, it was far easier for him to understand this kind of thing than for an ordinary fourth-tier expert. He knew what it was almost the instant he saw it, and then he simply confirmed it.

Within the fireball, a twisted, writhing mass was faintly visible. It was colorless and even invisible, only revealed through its struggle amidst the crimson flames. "Is this... the true form of the Black Water God?" Zhang Jie scanned it and then asked.

Nordens and Zheng Zha nodded at the same time. Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Because we discovered that these black waters are essentially still water, but they have been tainted by a peculiar energy, which is why they have taken this form. I initially thought that this was a form of water energy, but after handling it, I found that it was not."

"Oh..." Zhang Jie suddenly realized, no wonder Mu Xiang made that request...

“Since it’s about fusing matter with energy, where does that energy go after the water is reduced? That’s what I had Zheng Zha focus on… With your mental power, you can naturally find its original location through the energy’s return path.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.

Nordens smiled and said, "The three of you are extremely powerful, and your mastery of this knowledge is truly admirable. I believe that we can work together to save the Dreamland..."

"What do you plan to do with this?" Mu Xiang pointed to the twisted form bound by crimson flames. He knew that the Ktayat could fuse itself with matter to create one body after another. Existing books mentioning the Ktayat almost always describe it as a water-based aggregate, indicating its affinity for water.

But Mu Xiang also knew that this might just be the best form... Could it be that he was still thinking about this when he was escaping? That's why Zheng Zha used the red flames to trap it. No matter whether its abilities could surpass water or whether it was limited to matter, it couldn't compete with Zheng Zha for control of the red flames.

Nordens pondered for a moment: "Although it comes from the abyss, if it is thoroughly purified, it can be transformed into the plane origin of the Dream Realm to nurture the Dream Realm... However, its nature is quite troublesome, and purification will take a lot of effort. Of course, such a tedious matter will not require the help of the three of you. With the help of the plane spirit of the Dream Realm, I can refine it."

"That's what I wanted to ask... You claim to be the Lord of the Great Abyss, and you mentioned the prophecy of the Abyss Tides before. But you also said that this thing comes from the Abyss, what's the connection between these two?" Mu Xiang asked.

Nordens waved his hand: "This is what I was going to tell you all... Now that the calamity has been averted, I can't let the three of you be exposed to the elements outside. Please come with me to the palace for a chat."

As he spoke, the sea god, the mermaid, and the fairy reappeared beside him, and the sounds of conch shells and seashells rang out in unison. Although the three of them found it hard to appreciate, the spectacle was certainly impressive.

Nordens extended a finger and pointed it into the air in front of him, and a spatial portal appeared, revealing a magnificent, golden interior. He chuckled, gestured for him to enter, and stepped into the portal first.

Mu Xiang and the other two exchanged a silent exchange and followed, while Zheng Zha still held the ball of red flame in his hand. The sea god, mermaids, and fairies danced and played music behind them, welcoming them into the palace of the chief god.

Upon entering the spacious and luxurious hall, Mu Xiang glanced discreetly at Nordens's finger again, finally confirming how the spatial portal had been formed. On his finger was a ring, the shape of which seemed familiar to Mu Xiang, but it resembled a worm.

"Legend has it that the spatial passages inside and outside the Dream Realm were created by giant worms like the Megaloworm... It seems he refined them into rings, which is how he opened the spatial door to a certain place," Mu Xiang said to the two of them in his mind.
