127: Resting in the cave for a while, the divine halberd makes its first exploration.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon frantically flapped its wings, lightning tearing through the sky, transforming into a meteor, and speeding towards an unknown distance.

Lu Yuan lay on the Light Falcon's broad back, the strong wind blowing his hair back, revealing his slightly pale cheeks.

"Faster! Even faster!"

He urged it on, realizing he had overplayed his hand just now.

Although the burst of the Frozen Domain of Absolute Zero had depleted his Source Power, it had bought him precious time to escape.

He didn't believe that Zhou Wanhe and his people would give up so easily.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon was extremely intelligent, constantly changing its flight direction, sometimes skimming the sea surface, stirring up white waves, and sometimes diving into low-hanging clouds, using the complex terrain and weather to shake off pursuit.

Lu Yuan now had only a little over a hundred points of Source Power left in his body, and the intense feeling of weakness made him very uncomfortable.

He had to find a safe place to recover as soon as possible.

"Light Falcon, find a secluded, Source Power-scarce island cave, the more hidden the better!"

Lu Yuan ordered in a low voice.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon let out a clear, piercing cry, and adjusted its direction again.

Time passed bit by bit.

After an unknown period of flight, perhaps several hours, the sea area below gradually became desolate.

There were no longer lush, vegetated islands, replaced by jagged black reef clusters.

"Chirp!"

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon gave a warning cry, circling and descending.

In an inconspicuous cluster of reefs, a cave entrance, covered by vines and tangled bushes, appeared in Lu Yuan's sight.

The entrance was small, only big enough for one person to bend down and enter, and its position was extremely tricky; if not for the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon's astonishing eyesight, it would be extremely difficult to spot from high altitude.

"This is it!"

Lu Yuan's spirits lifted.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon landed steadily on a slightly flatter reef near the cave entrance.

Lu Yuan flipped down, quickly took out several utility cards with warning and concealment functions from his card pack, and set them up around the cave entrance.

After doing all this, he let out a long sigh of relief and slipped into the cave.

The interior of the cave was unexpectedly dry, and the space was also a bit larger than it looked from the entrance, about a dozen square meters, enough for him to rest temporarily.

"Phew... finally safe."

Lu Yuan sat down leaning against the stone wall, his taut nerves relaxing slightly.

Just then, with a soft "thump."

A dim Little Fellow fell out of his arms and landed on the ground.

Lu Yuan was stunned, looking down, it was the Flame Sprite.

At this moment, the Little Fellow was completely different from its lively appearance in the lava cave earlier.

Its entire body was dim, and the iconic flame on its head was now only the size of a bean, flickering uncertainly, as if it could go out at any moment.

"Chirp... chirp..."

The Flame Sprite let out a few extremely faint chirps, its tiny body curled up, seemingly without the strength to even stand.

It blinked its almost lusterless eyes blankly, seemingly completely unaware of why it was here or what had happened when it merged with the war halberd, looking utterly confused.

"Little Fellow, how did you get like this?"

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly cupped it in his hand.

He could feel that the Flame Sprite's condition was very bad at the moment, as if it had consumed all of its life origin.

Was it because it had just merged with the ancient sea shark war halberd?

Don't die, brother!

He rummaged through his backpack for a few fire source stones he had before and quickly brought them to the Flame Sprite's mouth.

"Come, have something to eat first."

The Flame Sprite seemed to smell a familiar scent, weakly opening its small mouth, gnawing at the fire source stone bit by bit.

The speed was heartbreakingly slow.

"Don't worry, once you recover, I'll find you even better fire source crystals! Plenty of them!"

Lu Yuan gently stroked its small head, promising softly.

The Flame Sprite chirped as if it understood, and continued to gnaw slowly.

After settling the Flame Sprite, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, took out several source cards from his card pack, and activated them directly.

A gentle stream of Source Power slowly injected... While absorbing the source cards, he immersed his mind in the card pack, taking out the gold card he had just acquired—the ancient sea shark war halberd.

The next moment, detailed card information appeared in his mind.

"Name: ancient sea shark war halberd"

"Quality: gold"

"Star Rating: Five-star"

"Type: Equipment card"

"Attribute: After equipping, greatly increases the power of water-type skills, greatly increases attack power, greatly increases armor penetration, slightly increases mental power."

"Good heavens!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw these basic attributes.

"As expected of a five-star gold equipment! These attributes are brutal! Just this basic bonus is enough to increase my attack power several times over!"

He continued to look down.

"Skill One: Shark Emperor's Raging Waves Slash (Active): Evokes the power of the endless ocean, infuses the war halberd, and swings forward, unleashing destructive raging waves containing thousands of ancient shark shadows, dealing devastating damage to a large fan-shaped area in front. Consumes a huge amount of Source Power."

Lu Yuan carefully pondered the description of this skill.

A scene even appeared in his mind: holding the war halberd, he swung it fiercely, and endless azure raging waves, carrying countless ferocious shark shadows, devoured all enemies in front!

How magnificent that scene was! How overbearing!

"This range, this power... it's simply a clear-out divine skill!"

Lu Yuan smacked his lips, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and continued to check the second skill.

"Skill Two: Blood Shark Soul Chasing Stab (Active): Locks onto a single or multiple targets (up to three), and throws or stabs the war halberd. The war halberd will transform into a bloodthirsty shark shadow, rapidly pursuing the target until it hits. After hitting, it can extract a portion of the target's vitality and Source Power, feeding back to itself."

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This skill is quite interesting!"

Tracking attack, and it can split, the most crucial thing is that after hitting, it can actually extract the opponent's vitality and Source Power to feed back to itself!

"This is not only a divine skill for pursuit, but also a sustain skill!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

With the Blood Shark Soul Chasing Stab, his endurance in combat would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

If he couldn't win, he could rely on this skill to fight and run at the same time, while absorbing blood and regenerating mana.

It was simply a rogue playstyle!

"Perfect!"

Lu Yuan was very satisfied with these two active skills.

One focused on burst area damage, the other on pursuit and sustain, complementing each other.

He rubbed his hands, his gaze turning to the last skill, which was a passive skill!

"Passive Skill: Sea Lord's Deterrence: Wielding this halberd will generate a powerful rank suppression and soul deterrence effect on all aquatic creatures, especially shark-type demonic beasts. There is a certain chance to make them submit, panic, or even directly flee. In an aquatic environment, this effect will be greatly enhanced."

When he clearly saw the description of this passive skill, Lu Yuan was first stunned.

"Holy crap!"

He couldn't help but curse, the smile on his face no longer suppressible.

"Sea Lord's Deterrence? Rank suppression? Soul deterrence? Making them submit or flee?"

"This... this is simply a divine skill for aquatic environments!"

What kind of place was the Lost Water Realm?

A vast and boundless ocean world!

The most abundant creatures here were all kinds of water-type demonic beasts!

With this Sea Lord's Deterrence, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this secret realm?

At least when facing most water-type demonic beasts, he would have an absolute psychological and strength advantage!

Just imagine, a group of fierce shark demonic beasts rushing over, he flashes his war halberd, and they immediately get scared witless, even kneeling to beg for mercy... That scene was too beautiful, he almost dared not imagine it!

"Awesome! This is what you call a divine weapon!"

Lu Yuan excitedly slapped his thigh.

This ancient sea shark war halberd was simply tailor-made for him!

He made a decision without hesitation.

"Such a divine weapon must always be with me, integrated into my being!"

"The fifth Origin Card, it's you!"

With a thought, the blank area in his card pack representing the fifth Origin Card slot glowed faintly.

Lu Yuan slowly pressed the ancient sea shark war halberd card towards that card slot.

A suction force originating from the depths of his soul came.

The ancient sea shark war halberd card shone brightly, transforming into a gold stream of light, instantly merging into Lu Yuan's body.

Boom!

A majestic and ancient oceanic aura permeated from within him.

His consciousness seemed to arrive at an endless deep sea, seeing countless ancient giant sharks roaring and fighting within it.

And he was the sole ruler of this ocean!

The war halberd was the symbol of his authority!

After a long time, Lu Yuan recovered from that strange enlightenment.

He could clearly feel that a bloodline-like close connection had been established between himself and the ancient sea shark war halberd.

It was as if this war halberd was originally a part of his body.

The fifth gold Origin Card, successfully merged!

His core combat system had once again received an epic strengthening!

He had the Winter Frostflame Phoenix for burst damage.

He had the Raging Waves Sea Soul for defense.

He had the Nirvana Fire for rebirth.

He had the Heaven and Earth Origin Power Great Teleportation for sustain and control.

Now, he also had an ancient sea shark war halberd, which combined strong offense, pursuit, sustain, and aquatic deterrence!

"With this combat power, who else can compare!"

Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"In 12 hours, I'll be a good man again!"
