Chapter 900 - 737: Defeat the God, Ascend as the Dark Sage
Nightmare Divine Domain.
The rain grew heavier, it could no longer be described as rain, but as a waterfall! Perhaps the rain was never meant to be that heavy, yet it happened in line with his strongest wish at the time, his divine domain also changed, maybe it turned into a water domain?
The flames on the forest and giant tree had already been extinguished, forming a layer of steaming black char.
Then the Wind, Thunder, and Water Tornado fused with Divine Craftsman Level Vortex Mastery, continuing to strike!
The giant tree was indeed carbonized to a crisp, a Heavy Strike by the water dragon hurled sky-high chunks of carbon, and its form trembled, its base visibly unstable!
Continue!!
And the giant tree, now stripped of carbon chunks, revealed its wooden core, Void Thunder finally had a place to prove its worth, striking once more with flames, which were again doused by the rain into carbon!
Chun was ecstatic, had he not found the trick?
When the torrential rain submerged half the forest, Chun gathered a vortex water tornado with a diameter of a hundred meters and slammed it down, this time the giant tree collapsed, raising towering waves of mud!
KNOCKED IT DOWN!
Chun could hardly imagine its massive size ever standing again, and didn’t give it a chance to rise, the vortex of wind, thunder, and water tornado kept rolling over its body, lightning incessantly burned it, then extinguished it, carbonized it, peeled it away, thunder fire burned, and extinguished, carbonization...
The giant tree’s bulk reduced layer by layer like peeled skin, becoming driftwood, until it could no longer withstand the vortex’s pull, with a crisp sound, it exploded!
Dead?
Yet in the explosion’s shockwaves, a black shadow penetrated the space, ignoring the hurricane, rushing towards Chun with unbelievable speed!
Chun was stunned, this—
Chun instinctively used Space Fire to evade, but due to skill cooldown, it was still pursued, just not as swiftly as before.
Chun saw clearly, a grimacing shadow bellowed: "Impossible!!! Even with divine protection, you’re just a mortal kid!!!"
Amidst roars, it forcibly entered Chun’s protective water ball, its entire body being burned by the water ball’s divine power!
The scene immediately reminded Chun of his signature profession Cleaner Fish, so use Purification Technique!!
——Cleaner Fish Profession Prompt: You initiated Master’s Level 10 Purification Technique, receiving extra boost from Beelzebub Baron’s Middle Tier Leviathan Power, you successfully purified the Nightmare Lord’s divine soul...
In an instant, the divine power water ball responded to the Purification Technique’s pull, forming a vortex that churned the black shadow, with black smoke billowing more fiercely, continuously decreasing!
Purification Technique proficiency flashed and increased! Until——
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Purification Technique successfully cleansed the tainted divine soul, reaching Grandmaster Level! You’ve acquired insights into Divine Craftsman Level Purification Technique.
Purifying a divine soul surely requires a Grandmaster!
Even a Master can do it, let alone a Grandmaster!
Chun’s confidence soared, it can be done!
Yet the shadow’s resilience was astounding, even shrinking, it continued piercing through the water ball, until the black smoke dissipated, revealing a green gel-like liquid!
Huh?
By this point, the Purification Technique’s effects were gone, proficiency was zero! Even the divine power water ball no longer had any effect on it!
Cleaned it?! No longer evil?
Yet, it still had a red name, and kept trying to penetrate, although with diminished force!
Chun anxiously employed Vortex Mastery to block: "You aren’t considered evil anymore, right? What do you still want?"
The gel chuckled: "This is my true form as a Tree Soul, as a plant it’s beyond good or evil, now only the instinct to absorb nutrients remains, either you become my nourishment, or you absorb me..."
Absorb you?
Suddenly, Chun remembered he had brought in a nightmare pet monster, which hadn’t yet been used, now that the sides were at a stalemate, pet attack!
The little crocodile swam into the water ball, biting it, but it caused no damage, only stretching the gel!
Holy Shit!
However——
——System Prompt: Your S-Level pet Fish King has triggered Automatic Foraging, Evolutionary Skills. Evolution in progress...
Evolving?!
Chun was overwhelmingly joyful, who would’ve thought at this final moment, it relied on one lone soldier!
Stand firm!!!
Watching the little crocodile grow larger, the gel finally couldn’t penetrate anymore!
Victory!
The gel muffled a voice: "I concede, I surrender!"
Holy Shit you shameless, you dare surrender, I dare not accept your surrender!
Chun sneered: "What about your instinct to feed?"
The gel said: "Now only the instinct to survive remains."
Yielding to circumstances, able to bend and stretch, this fiend should not remain!
Chun resolved to slay, but still wanted clarity: "What’s your plan for survival?"
The gel sighed: "I wanted to parasitize you, but I can’t. Instead, I’ll parasitize your pet, with my support, it has limitless growth potential."
——System Prompt: Trifanda requests to parasitize your S-Level pet, enabling divine-level evolution, agree?
Eh?
Chun asked surprised: "So you can’t threaten me anymore?"
The gel sighed: "As a pet, naturally bound by pet laws. Besides, you’ve already defeated me, inherited my divine format, limitless future..."
Oh? This type? Inheriting divine format!
Chun asked: "After inheriting your divine format, will your subordinate nightmares trouble me?"
The gel said: "I’ve lost all memory of supposed subordinate nightmares, only instincts remain."
Ah? For real?
Fine, agree!
In the next moment, the gel directly slid into the little crocodile’s body!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Trifanda’s divine soul merged into your S-Level pet’s evolution process, pet transformed into an egg, entering evolution mode! Before evolution is complete, the pet cannot be summoned or used.
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Battle ended, you successfully defeated Initial Tier God Trifanda, acquired Initial Tier Divine Format, obtained divine domain "Dream Forest", your Spiritual Power +200, Wisdom +20, Mana +20000, your Reputation +500,000!

——Great Druid Elder Profession Prompt: Congratulations! The divine domain "Dream Forest" you obtained highly compatible with "Forest Goddess’s Divine Domain", enter fusion?
Eh?
...
The scene shifted, Chun saw a sea surface, Lighthouse Island, pirate ship.
Hmm?
Chun suddenly realized he was standing on an island!
Looking back, he was still standing in the scorched and carbonized forest from earlier, the giant tree’s trunk split and shattered!
Holy Shit! Aileen’s divine domain suddenly had an island, and that island was my divine domain!!
Examining system prompts closely——
Holy Shit, Chun excitedly jumped from the cockpit!
Finally advanced to Dark Sage! Finally have Privilege Points!! From the 3-day server opening test, comprehending professions along the way, self-creating skills, even slaying the Little Mao God in Southern Canyon Village, triggering multiple information points, until now, finally defeated a proper god, finally advanced!
Moreover, it seems it’s not over, my positive reputation is also high, can keep advancing towards Ten Lords’ Sage!!
So this is Sage, just being online while AFK grants experience and privileges, no wonder the Ten Lords were never seen battling monsters, absolutely unnecessary!
Hahaha wahahaha~~~~~
But, here’s the problem, I have both divine format and divine domain, am I not considered a god?
