184: Chapter 184: Another Upgrade, New Equipment Attributes

The beast tide came in wave after wave, seemingly endless, and the sound of the Poison Emperor Bell grew increasingly urgent.

Suddenly, a massive golden turtle shell flew out from the herd, spinning at high speed in the air and whipping up a waterspout around it.

The waterspout slammed into the Poison Emperor Bell in the air, only to have two-thirds of its water volume instantly sucked away.

Seemingly realizing the power of the Poison Emperor Bell, the turtle shell controlled the remaining waterspout to charge toward the Corrosive Poison Barrier.

Meanwhile, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle hiding inside the shell was shocked beyond measure; its attack could not even withstand a single strike and was nearly dispersed.

Such damage could probably only be rivaled by the Sea Demon Empress herself.

Thinking of this, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle could not help but glance at the Poison Barrier before it, hoping that the human who entered the abyss was not inside!

If possible, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle absolutely did not want to get involved in this mess, but it had no choice.

As the right-hand man of the Sea Demon Empress, it naturally could not refuse her orders.

As it turned out, the beasts, sensing a death threat, had all gathered in the Sea Demon Empress's territory, which enraged her, prompting her to send her most trusted subordinate, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle, to resolve the trouble.

This led to the scene of the beast tide's counterattack just moments ago.

The Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge; if it could disperse the Poison Barrier before it, there might still be a chance, but if not, it would likely be in grave danger.

With a trembling heart, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle finally charged into the Corrosive Poison Barrier.

Hiss!

Upon entering the Corrosive Poison Barrier, the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle immediately felt a heart-burning pain.

"This attack can actually ignore my defense? I've already suffered a substantial attack just by entering this place."

"The strength of the intruder is truly terrifying!"

"My life is over!"

The Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle closed its eyes in resignation.

Just as it closed its eyes, its consciousness permanently plunged into darkness.

Initially, seeing the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle make a move, many beasts were greatly encouraged, but as the Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle went inside the Poison Barrier and fell completely silent, they wondered, is it dead?

It must be dead!

Once this thought emerged, it grew uncontrollably in their hearts, and eventually, all the beasts began to tremble, shaking like chaff.

"Is even Lord Five-Clawed Heavenly Dragon Turtle not a match for it?"

"Then we..."

They desperately wanted to flee, but behind them was the territory of the Sea Demon Empress, which was an absolute forbidden zone for them.

Even if they were terrified, they still had to advance.

Consequently, the sea beasts began their suicidal charge once more.

"Hallucinogenic Gas!"

An invisible mental pressure instantly swept across the field, and all feelings of fear and terror vanished without a trace. The sea beasts seemed to return to their previous lives, no! A life even more peaceful than before.

All the beasts seemed to have entered a sage-like state, devoid of desire or strife.

Tang Mo quietly stepped out and began to collect the equipment and items on the ground.

It was not that Tang Mo was afraid; it was just that too many beasts were rushing up at once, and he feared that if he killed them all immediately, it would draw out the Abyss Lord.

If the Abyss Lord died, the entire abyss would disappear completely, and by then, it would be too late for Tang Mo to loot anything.

After busying himself for quite a while, Tang Mo finally finished cleaning up the battlefield.

The equipment was, as always, fed to the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff.

Thousands of supreme-grade equipment and nearly a hundred saint artifact-grade equipment successfully raised the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff to the next level, reaching Advanced.

【sumeru realm artifact nine revolutions coiling dragon staff (Advanced 50/10000), All Attributes +100000000%, All Damage +100000000%, All Skill Grades +5 (Note: Maximum skill grade is God-tier), All Skill Levels +30, Skill Range +1000000%. Sacrifice, (After activating Sacrifice, gain an additional 1000000000% All Damage, but skills released after starting Sacrifice will disappear.) Equipment can grow by devouring other equipment. Wear requirement: Possess the coiling dragon pagoda challenger badge.】

After reaching Advanced, the nine revolutions coiling dragon staff not only increased its damage but also gained a "Sacrifice" equipment affix.

Just looking at the explanation of the affix, one could tell how powerful it was; the only downside was that skills released after activating Sacrifice would disappear.

But skills were the one thing Tang Mo did not lack.

From the wave of beasts just now, Tang Mo had obtained no fewer than three thousand skills.

For an ordinary Professional, even at level 500, they would only have about 1000 skills.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Tang Mo controlled the sea beasts to walk into the Corrosive Poison Barrier.

This saved Tang Mo the trouble of continuing to cast skills.

Under Tang Mo's control, the sea beasts walked into the Corrosive Poison Barrier one by one in an orderly fashion.

【Killed Level 288 Horned Sea Snake, EXP +8.7 Billion, Poison Damage +50, Stamina +80, Spirit +80】

【Killed Level 312 Eight-Foot Swordfish, EXP +10.5 Billion, Poison Damage +50, Stamina +80, Spirit +80】

【Killed Level 367 Nine-Scale Tuna, EXP +16.7 Billion, Poison Damage +50, Stamina +80, Spirit +80】

...

And Tang Mo only needed to stand to the side and clear the equipment and items dropped on the ground.

"This is too convenient. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to work so hard to chase down these sea beasts."

Just at this moment, the sound of waves suddenly rang in Tang Mo's ears, splash, splash, splash~!

The sound seemed to come from the sky, enveloping everything around him.

Tang Mo looked up and could not help but break into a cold sweat; high in the sky, he did not know when it had been completely submerged by a massive tidal wave, and the same was true when he looked around.

This current had cleverly avoided the range of Tang Mo's Corrosive Poison Barrier, which was why he had not noticed it.

Now that the monstrous wave was about to crash down, Tang Mo realized it only belatedly.

It was already too late to search for the enemy's figure. Tang Mo raised his staff high and quickly chanted: "Sacrifice!"

"Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!"

Terrifying cold air instantly swept across the entire area, and the huge tidal wave was completely frozen the moment it touched the cold air, becoming a giant block of ice.

Even the surrounding seawater was frozen solid, forming a huge ice jar.

The sea beasts nearby could not resist this terrifying cold air at all and were wiped out instantly.

Tang Mo's level soared again by 90 levels, reaching Level 581.

However, at this moment, Tang Mo had to ignore all external sounds and focus intently on every movement around him.

Only the Abyss Lord would have the strength to launch such a powerful attack.

This was completely beyond Tang Mo's expectations. He had intended to finish off all the sea beasts in the abyss before having a one-on-one duel with the Abyss Lord, but he had not expected the opponent to appear so quickly.

In fact, if Tang Mo had used the Hallucinogenic Gas earlier, he would not have driven all the sea beasts into the Sea Demon Empress's territory, nor would he have attracted its attention so quickly.

However, that was all a matter for later.
