Chapter 346 - 262: Luring and Slaying the Void Sea Demon (3)
Meanwhile, though Han Feng was only pretending to be affected, a storm was brewing in his Sea of Consciousness.
’System, activate the [Divine Power Module]!’
[Ding! The Divine Power Module has been activated. Please select a target Skill!]
’Target: [Three-Inch Heart Sword Observation Method]!’
’Energy Cost: All Sword Essence!’
[Command confirmed! Extracting all Sword Essence from the Host’s body (2500/2500 drops)...]
[Evolving Divine Power...]
[Ding! Skill [Three-Inch Heart Sword Observation Method] has been temporarily enhanced successfully!]
[Acquired temporary Divine Technique: Spirit Slash (Tier Four Late Stage)!]
[Traits: Ignores distance (within range of Divine Thought), ignores defense, directly slashes the source consciousness!]
[Duration: One strike!]
Just as the Bone Spike was about to touch the cockpit’s glass...
Han Feng, who had his eyes shut tight as if he’d lost consciousness, suddenly snapped them open!
There was no longer a trace of confusion in his eyes—only an abyssal calm and a bone-chilling killing intent!
"Just die!"
Han Feng roared, and the [Three-Inch Heart Sword] in his Sea of Consciousness trembled violently.
An invisible Sword Intent burst forth from his body.
"Divine Power: Spirit Slash!"
There were no flashy effects, no world-shaking explosions.
There was only a grayish-white Sword Intent—one that ignored distance, defense, and spatial barriers. It flowed from Han Feng’s fingertips and crossed the final distance.
It struck directly at the purple-black core.
Pop.
An almost inaudible shattering sound rang out.
That incredibly hard core, like a punctured balloon, instantly deflated.
The Sea Demon’s enormous body shuddered violently.
Immediately after, its translucent body began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into a sky full of crystalline specks of light before dissipating into the air.
The terrifying pressure that had loomed over all of Dragon’s Fang Port vanished along with it.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing the Tier Four Mutated Spiritual Body: the Void Sea Demon!]
[Ding! The Skill [Three-Inch Heart Sword Observation Method] has gained insight. Skill Proficiency +500!]
Dead silence.
After a moment of dead silence, Dragon’s Fang Port erupted in thunderous cheers!
Deep beneath the sea, the maniacal laugh on the Holy Envoy’s face froze, as if someone had seized him by the throat.
He stared fixedly at the dissipating specks of light in the Crystal Ball, unable to utter a single word.
’How is this possible?’
’What happened?’
’That was a Sea Demon whose Spiritual Body was comparable to a Tier Four Middle Stage Grandmaster!’
’How could it have been... instantly killed?’
He suddenly recalled the fighter jet’s strange descent just moments before and instantly understood.
"Despicable! You shameless insect!"
The Holy Envoy trembled with rage as he cursed.
"That bastard! He was acting!"
"He was playing me!"
A cold chill shot up his spine to the crown of his head.
Only then did he realize just what a cunning and terrifying hunter he was up against.
"Dive! Keep diving! Don’t stop!"
The Holy Envoy let out a hoarse roar, no longer daring to leave anything to chance.
In the sky, Han Feng let out a long breath as intense dizziness and weakness flooded his mind.
This one strike had completely drained all of his Sword Essence and over half of his Spiritual Power.
He piloted the fighter jet, slowly pulling it up to circle above the sea.
Just then, his [Spiritual Vision] caught something unusual.
Amidst the specks of light from the disintegrated Sea Demon, dozens of thumb-sized, diamond-shaped crystals emitting a faint blue glow were slowly sinking.
’All Things Identification!’
[Item: Void Soul Crystal (Damaged)]
[Grade: Quasi Tier Four]
[Traits: Contains pure Spiritual Energy. Can be used for Artifact Refining or absorbed directly.]
[Status: Contains high-intensity Spiritual Contamination. Direct absorption carries the risk of losing one’s sanity.
Note: [Heart Clarity and Nature Seeing] can reduce the contamination by 90%, and the [Three-Inch Heart Sword] can refine it completely.]
’Good stuff!’
Han Feng’s eyes lit up. Ignoring his weakness, he sent out his Divine Thought, precisely locking onto the Soul Crystals.
’System Space, collect!’
The next second, the Soul Crystals vanished abruptly, pulled from afar into his System Space.
He didn’t leave right away. Instead, he lowered his altitude and performed a highly provocative, low-speed circle above the patch of sea where the Ghost Ship had just submerged.
Through his [Spiritual Vision], the "turtle ship" hunkered down hundreds of kilometers deep beneath the sea was clearly visible.
He could even "see" the furious, ashen-faced Holy Envoy inside the ship.
Han Feng’s gaze seemed to pierce through kilometers of seawater to meet the Holy Envoy’s own.
It was a naked, undisguised warning and expression of contempt.
’I see you.’
’If you have the guts, come on up.’
Deep beneath the sea, inside the Ghost Ship.
The Holy Envoy watched the arrogant, circling figure on his screen, his body trembling with rage. With a sharp CRACK, he crushed the Crystal Ball in his hand.
That icy gaze, which seemed to transcend space itself, made him feel as if he had been plunged into a frozen cavern.
’He can see me!’
"Go!"
The Holy Envoy let out an indignant roar.
In the end, he didn’t dare to surface. He controlled the Ghost Ship, having it silently meld into a deeper trench and flee wretchedly into the distance.
