Hong Qiu’s true form was a Water Dragon, which was why he had gained the favor of the God of Water and beco an Upper-level Vassal.
He had a residence in this world, located at the bottom of an unnad lake, shaped like a dragon palace.
SWOOSH!
A stream of water darted into the dragon palace, revealing Hong Qiu’s figure within the main hall, staggering as he rushed towards the back.
"Master."
Several fish monsters and maidservants ca to greet him, only to be swatted away with a wave of his hand.
"Get lost!"
"Husband."
A graceful and stunning woman lifted the beaded curtain and walked out from inside, her face filled with worry. "What happened to you?"
"Xiaoyu." Seeing the woman, Hong Qiu’s furrowed brows slightly relaxed, and he sighed. "I was ambushed on my outing this ti. If it weren’t for the divine protection I had, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to return to see you."
AH!
The woman’s face changed drastically. "Soone actually dared to ambush you! Will they co here?"
"Don’t worry!" Hong Qiu waved his hand. "Here I have the Magical Conch of Summoning Waters bestowed by the God of Water. If they dare to co, they shouldn’t dream of returning."
As he spoke, with a wave of his large hand, sothing rapidly condensed in the void, materializing into a palm-sized conch.
It had several round holes, through which it could be played.
A Pseudo Fourth-tier Curio—the Magical Conch of Summoning Waters!
It was this object that caused heavy rain to fall over thousands of miles for nearly a month, turning forests into water domains.
With this object in hand, even with the restrictions of the Power of Laws, the thods Hong Qiu could employ were greatly amplified.
"But to be on the safe side, let’s first stop the rain." Thinking it over, Hong Qiu picked up the conch and gently blew into it. The rain that had been pouring crazily from the sky abruptly stalled, then turned into streams of water flowing toward the conch. Soon, the sky beca clear and sunny.
The forrly light conch now beca extrely heavy. A gentle shake gave off the sound of flowing water from within, as if it contained an entire sea.
When necessary, releasing the water from within the conch could create a river stretching for dozens of miles. Anyone entering it would be subjected to relentless attacks within the world’s limitations, an assault no one could withstand.
MHM!
Putting away the conch, Hong Qiu’s complexion turned pale. He sat in a chair clutching his chest, breathing heavily before he regained so composure.
"Husband!"
The woman looked on with concern.
"It’s nothing." Hong Qiu waved his hand, his face showing a vicious tint. "That woman’s claws are really sharp. They almost destroyed my dragon heart. Without a few months of recovery, it’s impossible to heal."
"This isn’t over!"
"Inform the Black Dragon. I have matters to discuss with it."
"Yes." The woman lowered her head in agreent, consoled him a few more tis, then retreated to the back room with Shattering Step.
「Soon」
A Black Dragon, carrying a bizarre wind, appeared in the airspace above the lake, tumbling as it transford into a black-haired young man.
PLOP!
The Black Dragon plumted into the lake, allowing his body to sink to the bottom, crashing into a transparent Barrier and entering the dragon palace.
"Hong Qiu!"
"Black Dragon!"
After the two exchanged greetings, attendants brought them wine and food.
"I’ve already heard about your situation. My Twin Bait Dragons under my command are also dead. The person who acted was not weak."
"Hmm." Hong Qiu nodded and said, "There were also followers of the God of Light and the God of Death present at the ti."
"Hmm?" The Black Dragon’s expression darkened. "It seems other followers have also started to form alliances. Both the God of Light and the God of Death are Upper Gods. This has beco troubleso."
"No need to worry too much." Hong Qiu glanced at him, seemingly not understanding his timidity. "As far as I know, neither of these Divines has currently sent down a Divine Son, and even their Upper-level Vassals are few."
"There may only be these two Middle Position Vassals nearby. With our strength, dealing with them should not be difficult."
"Hmm..." The Black Dragon seed thoughtful. "That’s true."
"But how could only Middle Position Vassals injure you and kill my Twin Bait Dragons?"
"Aside from those two Middle Position Vassals, there are also two local natives." Hong Qiu’s face was somber as he spoke. "Do not underestimate them. Although their Cultivation hasn’t reached the Third-tier, they have many tactics and might have obtained high-tier items left by Divines of this world. I was injured by one of the won."
"Local natives?" The Black Dragon stroked his chin, a glint in his eyes. "The Gods of this world have fallen, and it’s highly likely that the Divine Artifacts are destroyed, but there’s no doubt that a lot of good things were left behind."
"This could be an opportunity... Are you sure they haven’t reached the Third-tier?"
"Of course!" Hong Qiu nodded. "My eyes haven’t failed . I can clearly tell if soone is of the Third-tier or not, and you should know about the Third-tier powerhouses of this world."
"Hmm," the Black Dragon humd in agreent. "Several Dukes, they are now the talents that various Divines are vying to recruit, useful for spreading faith more quickly."
"Brother Hong Qiu." He spoke earnestly. "According to my lord’s calculations, in another six months, the rules of this world will be relaxed to the Second Order Middle Stage. At that ti, the thods we will be able to use will significantly increase, making it easy to deal with two Second Order natives."
Six months? Hong Qiu calculated the ti. Despite so reluctance in his heart, thinking of the injuries he bore, he ultimately nodded.
"Speaking of which," the Black Dragon continued, "I’ve recently made two friends who are interested in undergoing a dragon transformation. Although they’re not Divine’s Favored, once they transform, they’ll possess the strength of Second-tier Late Stage and can serve as helpers."
"Especially one of them, who has received the legacy of the Thunder God of this world and wields a pair of hamrs that emit bolts of lightning, powerful enough to trouble even Third-tier powerhouses when struck by them."
"Just perfect for taking revenge for the Twin Bait Dragon!"
* * *
A few dozen miles north of the City of Death, there lay a deep valley that had turned into a lake due to the continuous rainfall over this period.
The rich aura of water elents condensed here, also perfectly suitable for Wizards’ Water Elent ditation thod.
At this mont, a Wizard Tower, enveloped by a Barrier, was quietly subrged at the bottom of the water, its ethereal halo illuminating the surroundings with a clear glow.
Carl was seated on the second floor of the Wizard Tower, his Source Sea ditation thod operating in full force, accumulating the energy of the Water of Life.
As soon as the energy was full, he would imdiately switch to cultivating the Holy Demon Transformation.
The Holy Demon Transformation was like a greedy glutton, voraciously devouring energy to temper the body’s Constitution.
From ti to ti, Carl would pop a few Spiritual dicine pills and drink a few vials of Potion to maintain this high-intensity training.
After an indeterminable period, Carl let out a long, turbid breath. HUFF... Looking at the empty ground around him, he couldn’t help but shake his head in resignation.
All the Spiritual dicine accumulated by i Weiya in the City of Death over a few hundred years, plus the reserves from the Magic Forest— Even for a decent Wizard Family from the Magic Forest, this might be all they have, and I’ve drained it in a matter of months. Yet my Constitution hasn’t even reached forty. The progress is frustratingly slow. Sigh!
The data panel appeared, the Constitution column starkly displaying 39.4, almost one point higher than a few months ago.
But this was the pace with a crazy Burning of Potions.
Without so many Potions, to achieve such progress would take at least five to six years of arduous Cultivation.
No wonder even when the Gods were around, hardly any Guardian of the Divine Domain cultivated Holy Demon Transformation. Although this Magic Door is strong, it consus too many resources. Without sufficient Spiritual dicine, it is nearly impossible to reach the Third-tier.
However, once cultivated, the power of the flesh alone can withstand various Secret Techniques.
If I can reach the sixth layer and complete the second stage with the Silver Body, I will definitely withstand attacks from Third-tier Early Stage.
Overpowering those on higher tiers is not so easy.
It’s manageable in the early stages. A few Knight Attendants can kill a Knight, and a dozen Knights can leave a Great Knight helpless. It takes dozens of Great Knights to corner a Legendary being.
The gap between Second Order and Third-tier is nearly impossible to bridge with numbers alone, which shows the prowess of the Holy Demon Transformation.
Truly one of the top Magic Doors of the Divine Domain...
Packing up the Wizard Tower, Carl flashed out of the lake and flew towards the City of Death.
In just a few months, the City of Death seed to have gained a new lease on life, and the spirits of the citizens were rejuvenated, no longer the somber place it once was.
It seems compared to i Weiya managing the city, Divine’s Favored are more suited, with workers, farrs, warriors, and rchants each in their proper place. Right! If they weren’t capable, they wouldn’t have been dispatched by the Divines to this world to spread faith.
"Mr. Karl."
As soon as he landed, a maid ca up to greet him. "Her Highness invites you to et her in the back mountain."
