"There are good people in this world after all!" Sui Xiong's mood improved a lot. He smiled and waved to the sky, then turned his attention to the shrine.
He could clearly feel that the shrine was condensed with powerful magic, or something similar to magic, and a will that was exactly the same but much weaker than the previous fierce and cold will was entrenched on it. It's just that being trapped in his ice magic and losing external supplies is slowly dissipating.
Of course, Sui Xiong was not willing to let his trophies dissipate like this. He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his soul hand and grabbed it towards the shrine.
There was a flash of purple-black light, and his soul hand was blocked by that will.
"Oh? You have some skills." Sui Xiong was not surprised but overjoyed, "Let me test how capable you are!"
The soul hand clenched into a fist and smashed it against the shrine.
One, two, three... The defense of that will became weaker and weaker, and finally it was defeated by his punch and could no longer resist.
"At this time, it's time to say 'plunder, plunder ruthlessly'..."
Sui Xiong laughed, grabbing the will that fell into chaos after being defeated, and swallowed it in one gulp.
After these years of traveling, he has already discovered that his method of devouring souls is not just "eating". In fact, as long as the souls of both parties come into contact, he can directly devour the other party through contact.
Compared to swallowing through eating, swallowing through contact is less efficient, but it can filter out the impurities in the opponent's soul and obtain purer energy.
Most of those impurities are memories and experiences, which cannot be said to be worthless, but the vast majority of them are worthless. In order to avoid having too much impact on himself, he must use the power of his soul to remove useless impurities every time he devours it, which is really troublesome.
If he hadn't been able to replenish soul energy with magic power since he mastered the method of absorbing magic power, just the process of eating and eliminating impurities would have wasted a lot of time.
Therefore, in recent years, he has no longer used the method of devouring to absorb soul energy, but has switched to contact.
But today’s spoils of war are extraordinary and worth swallowing and digesting slowly!
And the magic power on the shrine cannot be wasted. They are very different from Sui Xiong's ice magic power. If they can be analyzed and mastered, they can have another powerful method, which is very useful for self-protection or defeating the enemy.
Not to mention that he has become enemies with the owner of the fierce and cold will, and there will definitely be another conflict in the future. The more you know about your enemy now, the better your chances of victory will be in the future.
So Sui Xiong took the shrine far away. In order to ensure safety, he directly left the black forest and retreated into the vast sea.
For him who uses the body of a giant jellyfish, the sea is the most suitable main battlefield to show off his power.
When the giant jellyfish sank into the deep sea, in the distant void, in a dark, cold and quiet world, a majestic figure watching the world shook his head.
"This guy is so cautious." He said, "The ocean is not our territory. It hides in the deep sea, and we really have no choice."
"It will come out." said an astonishingly tall figure wearing heavy armor.
"Yes, but by that time, without the guidance of your thoughts on the shrine, unless it intersects with you again, we will not be able to find it at all."
"We will meet again." A short and old figure said. "With a beginning, there will be subsequent development and final results. That jellyfish is not like a short-lived ghost. Sooner or later, it will appear in front of us again."
"We must convince it when the time comes. Its ability is very useful." The majestic figure said, "Perhaps, it is worth paying for the position of a god."
"We are not the only ones watching it. Don't you think the lion's arrival is strange?" the old figure reminded them.
The majestic figure was silent for a moment and said, "Go and check."
"As you command." A voice answered in the darkness.
"Let's leave this matter as it is for the time being. Our main work at the moment is to compete for the series of priesthoods of Night and Death. This is related to the rise and fall of our Dark Night God System, so everyone needs to pay more attention."
The voices of response sounded one after another, and then these figures left one after another, each doing their own thing.
Time passes slowly.
For a figure who is respected as "great" and "immortal" by mortals, the passage of time is not something worth caring about. Their concept of time is often calculated in terms of one generation, two generations, or even one hundred or two hundred years. But for humans, the situation is completely different.
"Phew... the retreat is over!"
When the long-lost blue sky and white clouds appeared in front of him again, Sui Xiong took a long breath and couldn't help but smile.
It is not an easy task to hide alone in the deep sea, silently digesting the loot, silently tempering and improving one's strength.
This is different from the last time he practiced in the Ice Trench. At that time, he would return to the sea every once in a while to relax. But this time, in order to prevent being targeted by the enemy, he has been hiding in the deep sea, not even daring to go to the shallow sea. go.
By digesting that defeated will, he obtained a lot of information that he dreamed of. Several commonly used languages and texts, some of the biogeographic and political situations of this world, how to use power, etc., etc., and the most important thing is that he knows who the enemy he has encountered this time.
The god of the Dark Night God, the night watcher, sleepless.
A true God!
This is a world where gods, demons, monsters and other unscientific things exist, and it can truly be called a forest of strong people. And at the top of all the powerful ones are the powerful ones called "True Gods". Not only are they the ultimate masters beyond imagination, but they can also absorb the beliefs of all living beings and integrate the source power of the world. Their magical powers are unimaginable. At least according to the information Sui Xiong has obtained, they are really strong, super strong, and abnormally strong. !
The will that Sui Xiong obtained came from the thoughts of many years of sacrifice in Baiye Village, and was mixed with the aftermath of the Sleepless God's several visits. The content was a bit messy, and more than 90% of the 10% were hymns to the Sleepless God. If these words are true, then this sleepless god is really unbelievably powerful. It doesn’t matter if it says “God said there must be light”, it means “transcends the sea of suffering and reaches the other shore”, or it means “creation is determined by nature and the earth”. … They are all worth mentioning in front of him. Sui Xiong was able to provoke this sleepless god and still escape with his life. He was so lucky. He didn't know how many wooden fish he smashed in his previous life and how much paper money he accumulated.
This is obviously bragging. Sui Xiong is not stupid. The power of the Sleepless God is indeed powerful, but he was scared away by that golden light! Not to mention, even Sui Xiong's own ice magic can stop him.
The so-called Sleepless God is supreme and great, it is definitely a rumor!
But the Sleepless God is indeed not a good person. He is a member of the "Dark Night God Series" and an evil god who loves blood and fear. The main god of this pantheon is the "Emperor of the Night", a vampire from ancient times. All the gods under his command are dark monsters, and the "Night Watcher" is the guard who guarded the gate of the castle for him before he became a god. He is calm, Insidious and loyal.
From the time he joined the Emperor of the Night until he achieved immortality, for more than six hundred years, this gatekeeper never left his post and never slacked off. He didn't rest when he was injured, and he didn't sleep when he was tired. He stayed like this until his death.
This unimaginable loyalty won the Lord's praise. After the Emperor of the Night became a god, he promoted his old subordinates who were too old and too weak to even lift a dagger to be a subordinate god. The god's name was "Wu Mian", generally known as "Wu Mian". As the "Night Watcher·Sleepless God".
To put it bluntly, this sleepless god is an old janitor under the Emperor of Night. However, the old gatekeeper should not be underestimated. Didn’t you see how many awesome and arrogant characters in the Tianlong Babu turned into scum in front of the old gatekeeper of the Sutra-Tibetan Pavilion of Shaolin Temple? The Sleepless God is not an ordinary gatekeeper. In the course of his hundreds of years of work, he has hacked to death five or six so-called "legendary strong men". After becoming a god, he also fought in several battles between gods. He has made many achievements and can be regarded as the number one general of the Dark Night God System.
Facing such an enemy is already stressful enough, and considering that there is an entire Dark Night God System behind him, Sui Xiong feels that his pressure is no longer "huge", but the legendary "high pressure".
So he practiced harder and harder. On the one hand, through the analysis of the magic power of the shrine, he gained a deeper understanding of the operation and usage principles of various powers in the world, expanding the scope of his abilities; Extract the valuable information inside and try to remember it.
Through this period of practice, he not only improved his control over the power of ice, but also mastered the three aspects of shadow, death and guardianship - in this world's parlance, he has now mastered these four. The power of each domain, among which the mastery of the ice domain is even more superb. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it is entirely possible to further sublimate one's ice domain and embark on the immortal road to the gods.
As for how to get this opportunity... According to his guess, it might be enough to practice for a few hundred years...
Sui Xiong really couldn't bear to practice for another few hundred years. In fact, the dark practice during this period had driven him almost crazy. So when he felt that his cultivation had almost reached a bottleneck, he finally couldn't hold it any longer and left the deep sea for land.
Before that, he found an underwater volcano and threw the shrine that had lost its use value into it.
If the information in the shrine is correct, then even if the sleepless god has great abilities, he can only rely on this shrine to locate him. Now... go into the magma and slowly locate it!
Using his huge tentacles, he raised the world's largest middle finger towards the shrine that was slowly sinking into the magma. Sui Xiong walked away without looking back. He decided never to return to this crater in his life!
A few days later, the giant jellyfish returned to land and re-entered the black forest.
"Human World, I'm back!"
