Getting Stronger By Fighting

Wang Zhan was well aware of the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s intentions, it merely wanted to protect the two of them, that’s why it resorted to such a desperate measure. However, his mother also saw Xiang Tian’s current condition, which was precisely due to the use of that hex, resulting in Xiang Tian completely losing his Divine Sense, and potentially facing a significant decline in power even after breaking the hex.

Now, he is no different from ordinary people.

Although the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s power was stronger, the hex was indeed too bizarre, coupled with it being the signature skill of the Spirit Devouring Beast, even if the Hexagonal Golden Snake stepped in, the result might only be one - total control by the hex...

And thinking about these, Wang Zhan quickly waved his hand, hastily saying, "Taking such an approach is too risky, and I won’t allow you to do it. After all, the three of us are tied together; our fates are intertwined, even if the sky falls, we face it together. How can we burden everything onto your shoulders?"

"Let’s do it this way, let me first think if there’s an infallible plan, and we’ll discuss other matters later."

Clearly, Wang Zhan had made up his mind; he was determined to help the Hexagonal Golden Snake preserve its cultivation and protect Xiang Tian’s life.

Thinking about these, Wang Zhan had made his decision, and no longer paid attention to the two beside him. He was ready to risk his own life to test the terrifying power of the hex, and whatever the outcome, it would be entirely his to face.

While the Hexagonal Golden Snake still wanted to say more, upon seeing Wang Zhan’s determined gaze, it could only sigh helplessly and chose not to speak further.

Time passed second by second, and soon the Spirit Devouring Beast returned, its eyes fixed upon Wang Zhan. Suddenly, its figure moved, appearing in front of Wang Zhan. It had been resting this whole time, ignoring Wang Zhan and the others, and had a rather peaceful nap.

It circled Wang Zhan for a while, then finally spoke slowly, "I don’t have time to waste here with you, I just want to know one thing, have you made up your mind? Are you planning to become my assistant, or are you ready to be my puppet? The choice is all yours, but I advise you to think carefully and don’t make a decision you’ll regret."

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, finally clenching his fist tightly and gritting his teeth as he spoke, "If you don’t let them leave, I won’t choose anything. I know my ultimate fate, to be killed by you. Since the outcome is the same, why should I let you torture me here for such a long time?"

After speaking, Wang Zhan revealed Poseidon’s Trident once again, his entire power skyrocketed, but he did not attack the Spirit Devouring Beast. Instead, he aimed the Trident at his own chest, speaking quietly, "Although Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor are both my divine weapons and tools, I am unsure which is stronger between the two. Today, I might as well test the strength of Poseidon’s Trident."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan suddenly thrust Poseidon’s Trident toward his chest.

The scene appeared as if he was truly intending to end his own life.

As the Spirit Devouring Beast merely curled its lips in disdain. Without any regard or surprise, it didn’t take Wang Zhan seriously. After all, Wang Zhan’s life or death had no relation to it; even if Wang Zhan died here, it would only make things more boring, not affecting the overall situation.

However, the faces of the Hexagonal Golden Snake and Xiang Tian turned much paler. They quickly rushed toward Wang Zhan, but Wang Zhan’s speed was too fast, so much so that they couldn’t react. With a piercing sound suddenly emanating, Poseidon’s Trident fell directly onto Wang Zhan’s body, and then a miraculous scene unfolded.

To everyone’s surprise, Poseidon’s Trident in Wang Zhan’s hand began to shake violently, its vibrations extremely intense. At the same time, the Crystal Armor radiated blinding light, and soon Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor soared into the air. Amidst flowing lights, a figure began to materialize.

Wang Zhan hurriedly retreated, while Hexagonal Golden Snake guarded the two behind him. Now, Wang Zhan had neither Poseidon’s Trident nor Crystal Armor to protect him; his power was naturally suppressed to some extent, needing only a finger movement from the Spirit Devouring Beast, Wang Zhan wouldn’t have any chance to fight back.

Before Wang Zhan could react, he heard a loud thud from the sky, watching the figure descend onto the ground. The person’s gaze first swept over Wang Zhan, then chuckled while crossing his arms, "How interesting, such a young lad able to possess both Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor. Seems like your fate far exceeds my imagination; after all, these are divine weapons and tools of the sea domain, even thousands of years ago, no one could possess both, except me."

Wang Zhan swallowed hard, quickly stepping up to the man, eagerly asking, "Who are you?"

He knew Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor were treasures of the sea domain, especially Poseidon’s Trident. Everyone knew, obtaining Poseidon’s Trident could solidify one’s position as a ruler in the sea domain, even making Dragon Clan reluctant to provoke. Yet, why Poseidon’s Trident held such a high stature remained unclear.

Nearby, the man crossed his arms and spoke, "I am the one who invented Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor back then. Both are my divine weapons and tools, but I couldn’t unleash their full power. However, I, the Flowing Light Venerable, was indeed a ruler of the sea domain, separating the two and hiding them individually, waiting for the destined ones. Little did I know, I would wait millennia!"

Flowing Light Venerable?

Wang Zhan gazed at the Flowing Light Venerable with confusion, never having heard this name before.

Yet, the Hexagonal Golden Snake instinctively stepped back several steps, its eyes filled with shock, hands clenching tightly, suppressing excitement before saying, "Are you the most powerful Flowing Light Venerable in the sea domain?"

When Hexagonal Golden Snake was a child, they had heard tales of Flowing Light Venerable, not only known for incredible power but also sustaining invincibility across the sea domain; merely hearing the name Flowing Light Venerable was enough to make people retreat.

Even the Spirit Devouring Beast slightly narrowed its eyes. Being confined within the sea domain for years, naturally, it had heard of Flowing Light Venerable, rumored to possess transcendent power and craft divine weapons and tools, attracting numerous experts for protection, simply to acquire his crafted gears to boost their power.

"Impossible!"

The Spirit Devouring Beast blurted, shaking its head, "Flowing Light Venerable vanished long ago, reportedly dead, so how could he appear here? Quit trying to deceive me; I’ve already decided today, even if you are Flowing Light Venerable, you cannot take this kid away, for he’s trapped within this space barrier, even I couldn’t break it. Simply relying on your words, I can’t believe it’s possible!"

Yet, Flowing Light Venerable ignored its words, focusing on the Spirit Devouring Beast, stared for a while, then frowned, "Wasn’t the Spirit Devouring Beast vanished ages ago? Why are its minions still in the sea domain? You’ve leveled up significantly; I reckon soon enough, you could use your clan’s forbidden hex, and if you return to the Star War Battlefield, it would trigger unprecedented challenges!"

"Luckily, you encounter me here today, thus I won’t let you leave easily. Though it has been thousands of years, dealing with a petty Spirit Devouring Beast shouldn’t be a problem for me."

The Spirit Devouring Beast’s expression shifted, instantly clenching its fist, escalating its aura, glaring coldly at Flowing Light Venerable before speaking firmly, "Even if you truly are Flowing Light Venerable, I advise contemplation; battling me here offers you no gains, only mutual ruin. You hold no ties to these folks, valid reason not to engage in a fatal struggle with me!"

Wang Zhan’s face showed discomfort, though yearning for Flowing Light Venerable to eradicate the Hexagonal Golden Snake and end their crisis, feared hesitance might prevent timely action.

Thinking this way, Wang Zhan’s breath became frantic, waiting for Flowing Light Venerable’s resolution.
