Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 221 The Enlightenment of Monsters

The secrets of the Secret Sea always fueled Lu Cang's deep desire to explore them.

The Secret Sea is about to be destroyed.

If you don't figure some things out, you'll never understand them again.

If the Secret Sea is the lair of some kind of monster...

Was the destruction of the Secret Sea a good thing or a bad thing?
Is the Church of Life's inaction due to tacit approval?

Rather, the highest levels of the major churches are controlled by gods, so how could there be a god who is unaware that the entire Secret Sea is about to be destroyed?

Ever since learning the secrets of the last exploration of the Secret Sea.

Various speculations about the Secret Sea lingered in Lu Cang's mind.

Another possibility is that the destruction of the Secret Sea was to prevent some even more terrifying disaster.

There are just too many guesses in my mind...

Lu Cang continued to infuse more souls.

"Lu Cang... what are you doing?"

Lu Cang: "Yes, infusing the Secret Sea with a soul is like sacrificing a dungeon."

Because it was a rehearsal for the future, Lu Cang didn't have any taboos when speaking.

I say whatever comes to mind.

Rather, this kind of communication is actually more convenient, as there's no need to hide anything.

"Sacrificing souls to the Secret Sea, this kind of thing..."

Luluwei, after all, shared perception with Lu Cang, and she was also watching the changes taking place in the Secret Sea.

The number of monsters gradually increased, and they began to rise to the surface.

"Have you done this before?"

Lu Cang: "Hmm... I tried it in a simulation."

Luluwei: "What happened?"

“A very powerful monster appeared, and then…”

Lu Cang was thinking about how to say it.

Although it was a rehearsal, explaining it required quite a bit of effort.

"Then I ran away."

Lu Cang finally explained it this way.

"Oh~"

"However, since you intend to do this, it must prove that there is no danger."

Lu Cang paused for a moment, then gave a faint, bitter smile.

Ugh.

There was no way to tell Luluwei that this was a rehearsal for the future, so she was prepared to make a sacrifice.

I feel like this is cruel to Luluwei in the rehearsal.

The soul is constantly being infused.

Sudden……

The entire sea surface turned pitch black and viscous, and the range that could be perceived became smaller and smaller.

The perception that could originally reach 45,000 kilometers can now only penetrate to 10,000 kilometers.

The number of souls sacrificed has reached five million.

"Hmm... let's go in and take a look."

The last time I encountered that mysterious monster, I died, entered a cycle of reincarnation, and then returned...

However, Lu Cang also clearly felt that he had been contaminated by a kind of knowledge that time.

However, this is due to a lack of knowledge about immunity.

Therefore, it was not damaged in any way.

That monster is the kind that causes contamination just by looking at it.

However, only 500 million souls were sacrificed.

It's unlikely that I'll encounter something like that.

"Huh? Shall we go in?"

At this moment, the secret sea emitted a faint, emerald-green light, and the seawater was as deep and viscous as dark green.

It conveys a feeling of disgust.

Lu Cang: "Yes, I will protect Sister Luluwei."

Actually, even if we were in real danger, I can't guarantee I could protect you...

This is just a rehearsal.

Lulu hesitated for a moment, then resolutely said, "Tch—who needs your protection?"

"I will take good care of myself."

"You are the one who thinks you can do whatever you want just because you have the power now."

Lu Cang: "Luluwei, are you being arrogant?"

"Ha! Who's being arrogant!"

Luluwei was furious.

But Lu Cang grabbed her hand directly. Lu Cang's physique was actually very strong, and Luluwei couldn't resist him at all. She was pulled by him and fell into the deep sea...

puff!
The sea was a deep, dark color.

However, once inside the deep sea, Luluwei's senses could explore far into the distance.

Look up at the water.

The water surface is still there, but unlike before, it doesn't seem to have any end in sight.

However, the water surface seemed very far away.

"Have we really gone that deep into the ocean?" Luluwei's thoughts entered Lu Cang's mind.

Lu Cang shook his head, responding mentally, "No."

"We simply entered the seawater."

Luluwei: "The Secret Sea, it turns out there are such secrets."

"How did you find out?"

Lu Cang: "I discovered it while offering my soul as a sacrifice in the Secret Sea out of boredom."

"You really have a lot of free time."

If the death priests of the Church of Death knew that Lu Cang was idly offering such a precious soul as a sacrifice to the sea, they would be in a terrible situation.

I wonder if I'll cry?
Swah——

Lu Cang took Luluwei to exchange spaces.

Continuing to venture deeper into the sea.

The surrounding area is full of ocean monsters, all of which are already at level 6.

As he swam downstream, Lu Cang placed one hand on the shell of a giant crab.

boom--

The lightning struck its shell, instantly shattering its interior.

"Tier 6, crustacean marine monster, crab species."

Looking at the monster that Lu Cang killed, Luluwei had already discerned what type of monster it was.

click -

Lu Cang separated the crab's shell.

But they took out a pearl-like substance from it.

"The Pearl of Enlightenment"

"The key to unlock the door to enlightenment"

That's really weird.

How could a key be hidden inside a monster's body?

If I hadn't discovered it myself through peeping into secrets, I would have truly missed it.

So many monsters passed by along the way.

When Lu Cang encountered this crab, he certainly didn't suddenly have the idea to kill it.

Instead, it was during the journey that they suddenly noticed something hidden on the crab.

Hold onto this "Pearl of Enlightenment"

At the same time, multiple locations were marked.

One direction lies in the deeper sea, where the creator of this "Pearl of Enlightenment" resides; the other is the "Gate of Enlightenment."

They are the losers of the "Pearl of Enlightenment".

The key is something the door lost... that makes sense.

And the location of this door.

It's not deeper inside, but to the north.

Swah——

Having already made up his mind, Lu Cang pulled Luluwei and changed direction, rushing north!

Swish Swish Swish Swish——

The two left ripples in the sea.

Luluwei was being pulled along by Lu Cang.

Actually, if you look closely... the deep sea isn't that scary, nor is it as disgusting as you might imagine.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of water erupted from all directions!

boom!
But then he saw Lu Cang's figure flash by in an instant!
All the surrounding seawater instantly froze!
In an instant, Lu Cang donned a chilling suit of armor.

"Extreme Frost Armor"

"Ice-piercing whip"

"Ice Extreme Boots"

……

He was dressed in a full set of ice armor, and just standing next to him made you feel chilled.

However, this chill should be controllable. Even though Luluwei was very close to him, she only felt slightly cold, but she was not harmed in any way.

In contrast, look at the hordes of monsters around them.

The moment they touched it, they were completely frozen into ice sculptures.

Not only were they ice sculptures, but their bones, blood, and flesh were also completely frozen, making them utterly dead monsters.

Seeing this outfit, Luluwei couldn't help but sneer.

A full set of ice armor...

Where did these outfits come from? It's really hard to guess.

"strangeness."

"These monsters were fine before, why did they suddenly attack us?"

Lu Cang removed the Frost Armor.

It was put back into the leather bag.

Then, Lu Cang casually took out a bright red curved dagger.

I touched a monster that resembled a mythical creature.

Wow.

The next moment, Lu Cang completely peeled off the monster's skin.

"Not from the same department?"

Lu Cang touched the bodies of these demons and sensed a lot of information. Speaking of which...

I haven't really touched any of the monsters in the sea, so I have very little information about them.

I thought about it.

boom--

Lu Cang's body vanished, and immediately afterward, thunder, lightning, and icy chills echoed from all around...

They encountered more than ten monsters along the way.

"They even have factions?"

Lu Cang watched as the directions he was being pointed to increased, and there were various intricate lines pointing in different directions of the Secret Sea.

It's a real mixed bag.

But at least one thing is certain: there is a civilization inside the Secret Sea.

"Let's go."

Lu Cang took Luluwei's hand again.

Luluwei's perception still extends further within the seas than her own.

Lu Cang can more accurately determine whether there is danger.

The current perception range of 600 kilometers is indeed a bit insufficient for Lu Cang himself.

His burst speed is 3,000 kilometers per second.

The perception range of 600 kilometers is less than 0.2 seconds of his maximum burst speed, which means that even if he had the means to get close to the enemy, it would be meaningless.

They also cannot immediately sense the other party's presence.

Once distance is created during combat, it becomes difficult to pursue...

At this level of combat power, speed, power, and range are basically not lacking.

However, in terms of the range of perception, it is far behind the current level of combat power.

Swah——

Lu Cang continued moving towards the Gate of Enlightenment.

After traveling for about half an hour, Lu Cang felt that he was very close to his destination.

Luluwei's senses allowed her to see territory 30,000 kilometers away.

Once inside the deep sea, Luluwei's senses were not as impaired as they were on the surface.

On the contrary, it has expanded considerably.

Unfortunately, it cannot be extended to a range of 50,000 kilometers as it can on the ground.

"Is this the place you're looking for?" Luluwei's senses pointed to a dark entrance.

Lu Cang and Luluwei share the same senses, so Lu Cang knows that this is what she is referring to.

"Ah."

It's pointing in this direction.

It's more like a hole than a door.

Outside the cave entrance, two seventh-tier demonic creatures were swimming around.

These two seventh-tier demonic creatures were not huge; they were about the same size as a normal human.

Lu Cang looked at their impending death.

"Death date: 20 days"

Both monsters have only 20 days left to die.

It was similar to the other monsters we saw along the way.

After all, the Secret Sea is about to be destroyed.

The Secret Sea should not only destroy the people on the continent, but also the monsters in the seabed.

Lu Cang stood at a distance, making no move.

He simply watched the two demons silently.

"You intend to kill them?" Luluwei asked.

Lu Cang's thoughts responded, "Yes, I plan to stare them to death."

Luluwei scoffed: "Stare to death? What nonsense are you talking about..."

But the words had barely left his mouth.

But then, the two monsters started fighting without warning!
The two monsters, each with a lobster-sized fist, threw a punch at each other almost simultaneously!
boom!
The heads of the two monsters exploded off each other.

perish together!

Lu Cang: "Hehe..."

What's going on? A monster? The monster committed suicide?
Luluwei couldn't believe her eyes.

What kind of play is this?
Originally, it was thought that Lu Cang would rely on his own superior strength to stage a battle against someone of a higher level.

But I didn't expect it.

The two monsters struck each other and killed one another.

"Let's go."

Swah——

Lu Cang arrived beside the two demons.

They casually stole their souls.

The soul is removed to prevent the corpse from rising from the dead.

As for the corpse...

I'm too lazy to pack them up. Anyway, this is a rehearsal, and I can't take the materials with me, so I'll just leave them here.

Arrived in front of the cave entrance.

A scan revealed a stone door inside the cave entrance.

There is a hole embedded in the center of the stone gate.

This hole is just right for holding the Enlightenment Pearl we just got.

Lu Cang did not use the Pearl of Enlightenment.

Instead, he placed one hand on the stone door.

The decryption scholar's abilities are activated...

hum-

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

The stone gate opened with a sound.

It seems that you can get in without a key, it just depends on whether there's a corresponding profession.

If a codebreaker can open it, then a thief probably can too.

Rumbling--

Lu Cang opened the door, then immediately closed it again.

Luluwei watched as Lu Cang opened and closed the door, her expression slightly fluctuating.

What on earth is this guy doing?

Playing with doors?

He doesn't seem like an immature child.

Why are you suddenly playing with doors?

Just as Lulu was wondering...

Swah——

Lu Cang then led her directly to a dark room.

Ok.

Actually, there's no need to walk through the door in a proper and respectable manner.

You can use spatial magic to travel directly in.

As soon as he entered, Lu Cang saw a dark, humanoid creature with its back to him, digging something.

Suddenly, he turned around abruptly!

It appeared in front of Lu Cang almost instantly, its sharp claws about to strike!

when--

Lu Cang casually took out a white shield and blocked with one hand, neutralizing the opponent's instantaneous attack.

The shields from the Church of Light are really useful.

Indeed, no matter how strong one's offensive capabilities are, it is still advisable to carry some professional protective gear and switch flexibly between different weapons to deal with different situations.

Swah——

The distance between the two instantly increased to about ten kilometers.

But after the other person increased the distance, they immediately turned their head away.

Facing the corpse of a giant monster.

They kept digging, then stuffed the flesh and blood into their mouths.

Lu Cang observed the other party for ten minutes but did not find any action from it. Only when he got close did it turn around and growl.

So, it was guarding its food?
Just as he was about to stuff another bite of meat into his mouth—

Just then, Lu Cang appeared behind him in an instant!

He pressed it out with one hand!

"Azure Flow: Fifth Form - Binding"

boom--

He slammed him against the wall behind him in an instant!
But as soon as he pressed it down, he felt its flesh tear open, and the creature that was originally humanoid instantly became enormous.

It gradually began to exude the aura of a demon.

"Why are you……"

"Excuse me, I'm eating!"

Lu Cang felt a sensation in his hand, and the feedback from "God-level Hidden Origin" allowed him to grasp the other party's true information.

"A monster that has gained sentience"

"Information: By consuming the flesh and blood of monsters through an enlightenment ritual, one can acquire the power of monsters."

"Information 2: This ritual must not be interrupted halfway. If it is interrupted, the person may be transformed into a demon with impaired intelligence."

Humans turning into monsters?
This kind of plot just feels like a classic.

It's like a Shinigami becoming a Hollow, a Hollow Arrancar...

If humans gain great power by transforming into monsters, then are there also monsters that want to become humans?
"Roar!"

The seawater was churning!

The entire cave trembled!

It seems that I interrupted his meal, which also means I disrupted his ritual.

This guy could have been a monster with full intelligence.

Now I've interrupted myself.

He turned into a mindless monster.

"Sister Luluwei, it's only level six."

"Let's give this opportunity to Luluwei..."

Luluwei: "Who wants to show off in front of you! You just need to solve it yourself..."
