Fifth Reincarnation Peak

The dome crystals of the underwater palace suddenly refracted blinding light. Just as White Night turned the corner of the passage, a fishy, salty, evil wind rushed toward him.

Coiled on a coral pillar in the open hall was a five-zhang-long deep-sea demon dragon. Its scales were ink-black, the edges of each scale gleaming with jagged, cold light. The spiral horns atop its head were entwined with pale purple water patterns, and the venom dripping from the tips of its horns corroded dense, tiny holes into the jade floor.

Hearing footsteps, the demon dragon suddenly raised its head, a flash of Bloodthirst in its golden vertical pupils.

It did not attack immediately; instead, it opened its giant mouth, filled with fangs, and let out a deafening roar.

The sound waves formed visible shockwaves in the water, sweeping toward White Night. The coral stone carvings on both sides of the hall shattered inch by inch under the shockwaves, and their red gem eyes rolled all over the ground.

White Night spread his feet slightly, and the lightning on the surface of his eternal holy armor surged violently, forming a translucent lightning barrier.

The shockwave struck the barrier, emitting a rumble like muffled thunder. The barrier vibrated violently but did not shatter. Borrowing the rebound force of the barrier, his figure shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, the Eternal Demon Blade carving a grey-black trajectory through the water, aimed straight at the demon dragon's throat.

The demon dragon's reaction was astonishingly fast. It violently swung its tail, the bone spur at the tip spinning with force, piercing toward White Night's ribs like a spear.

This thrust came from a tricky angle, perfectly avoiding the defensive range of the lightning barrier. The bone spur was also wreathed in dark green poisonous mist, and wherever the mist passed, the water rippled with black ripples.

White Night flipped his wrist, and the blade of the Eternal Demon Blade suddenly bent, coiling around the bone spur like a spirit snake, while his left hand condensed three rotating lightning rings.

The lightning rings slid along the blade and precisely ensnared the demon dragon's neck.

The demon dragon felt pain and violently thrashed its head, attempting to throw White Night off, but the lightning rings suddenly tightened. The grey-black lightning drilled into the gaps between the scales, causing its movements to falter for an instant.

Taking advantage of this momentary opening, White Night's figure appeared on the demon dragon's back.

He stomped hard on the gaps between the scales, raising the Eternal Demon Blade high. The grey-black lightning on the blade intertwined with pale golden divinity to form a giant blade that could pierce the sky.

"Thunder · Piercing Sun."

The giant blade, carrying the momentum to tear through the water, ruthlessly stabbed into the demon dragon's spine.

The demon dragon let out a shrill hiss, its massive body struggling violently, smashing three coral pillars as debris and water mixed into a murky vortex.

But White Night's blade had locked onto its spine, and the Thunder Law poured madly along the blade, destroying its nerve pathways.

A flash of madness appeared in the demon dragon's eyes. It suddenly changed direction, carrying White Night toward the dome's crystals.

The hardness of the crystals was comparable to Star-tier equipment; if he hit them, even a Seventh Turn would be injured.

White Night's eyes turned cold. The Primordial Thunder Core within him exploded, and his Lightning Domain instantly expanded to fifty zhang. Lightning blades within the domain fell like a rainstorm, crazily cutting at the demon dragon's scales.

"Puchi, puchi."

With a few soft sounds, dozens of scales on the demon dragon's back were forcibly stripped away, revealing the mangled flesh beneath.

The excruciating pain caused its charge to falter. White Night seized this opportunity, flicking his blade upward, carving a zhang-long wound along its spine.

Dark green blood sprayed out, dyeing a large area of the water red.

The battle continued, and White Night's offensive was extremely fierce.

Not long after.

The demon dragon's struggles gradually weakened, the fierce light in its golden vertical pupils fading, replaced by deep unwillingness.

It flicked its tail one last time before completely losing its life. Its massive body slowly sank to the bottom of the water, stirring up ripples.

【Obtained Experience Points: 12 million】

【Hundredfold Experience Halo in effect, actual experience points gained: 1.2 billion】

White Night caught his breath as golden light of leveling up shone on his body repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, his level increased by 35!

Stats skyrocketed!

Looking at the skyrocketing stats, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

As the strength of the enemies he encountered increased, the attribute gains from leveling up were quite necessary.

He reached out and plucked the spiral horn from the demon dragon's head. This horn contained pure water-element laws and was an excellent material for strengthening equipment.

After packing up the loot, he continued deeper, encountering a few Seventh Turn early-stage monsters along the way.

In a narrow passage, he encountered a group of electric ray monsters.

These monsters were pitch-black, and the yellow electric spots on their bellies could release Seventh Turn early-stage currents. They formed a circular array and discharged simultaneously, forming an airtight electric net in the passage.

White Night did not force his way through; instead, he inserted the Eternal Demon Blade into the ground. The Thunder Law was transmitted through the hilt into the jade, activating the fish-dragon patterns on the floor.

The pale purple energy within the patterns exploded, transforming into dozens of lightning fish-dragons that charged toward the electric ray monsters.

The fish-dragons collided with the electric net, erupting with blinding white light. The electric ray monsters' currents were like streams flowing into the sea before the lightning fish-dragons, instantly devoured.

The array was broken, and the electric ray monsters scattered and fled. White Night seized the chance to rush out, brandishing the Eternal Demon Blade. With flashes of blade light, he slaughtered all the electric ray monsters.

【Obtained Experience Points: 18 million】

【Hundredfold Experience Halo in effect, actual experience points gained: 1.8 billion】

Golden light shone again.

White Night's level skyrocketed again!

This time, it went straight to level 485!

After briefly familiarizing himself with his leveled-up body.

White Night continued forward.

Passing through the passage, he arrived at a circular altar. On the stone platform in the center of the altar, a Seventh Turn mid-stage deep-sea giant crab was coiled.

This giant crab's carapace was dark gold and covered in sharp spikes, each spike gleaming with cold light. Its two claws were open and measured two zhang wide, the serrations on the pincers sharper than the blade of the Eternal Demon Blade.

Seeing White Night, the giant crab suddenly raised its body and smashed its front claws heavily onto the stone platform.

The stone platform instantly collapsed, and the debris mixed with water to form a barrage, shooting toward White Night.

At the same time, its rear claws suddenly inserted into the ground. The jade around the altar cracked, and countless stone spikes emerged from underground, forming a closed cage in an attempt to trap White Night inside.

White Night moved his feet rapidly through the gaps in the stone spikes, pushing Time-Space Thunder Step to the limit. His figure avoided the barrage like a ghost, while a grey-black blade light condensed on the Eternal Demon Blade.

The blade light did not attack the giant crab but slashed at the base of the stone spikes on the ground, which was the weakest point of the energy.

The stone spikes snapped, and a gap appeared in the cage.

Seeing this, the giant crab lunged over. Its left claw swept across, and its right claw stabbed straight ahead, the two claws working in tacit coordination to seal off all space for evasion.

The friction of the serrations on the claws produced a harsh sound, causing the energy in the water to ripple with turbulence.

White Night did not retreat but advanced. He suddenly lowered his body, drilling through the gap between the two claws, and the Eternal Demon Blade slashed out a horizontal blade light with a backhand grip.

The blade light precisely struck the giant crab's abdominal armor, where the shell was relatively weak.

With a crisp "clang," a shallow white mark appeared on the abdominal armor, but it did not split open.

The giant crab let out an angry hiss, and its rear claws suddenly lifted, smashing toward the top of White Night's head, the sharp spikes on the claws flickering with dark green poisonous light.

White Night's eyes narrowed. His internal divine lightning core began to operate, and the blade of the Eternal Demon Blade glowed with pale golden light.

He no longer held back, and the blade expanded to five zhang in length, carrying pale golden lightning as it slashed again at the giant crab's abdominal armor.

This time, the blade sank in three inches, and the grey-black lightning poured into the wound, causing the giant crab's movements to noticeably falter.

"Thunder · Armor Breaking."

Following White Night's low shout, the blade suddenly erupted with intense vibration, and countless tiny lightning arcs exploded at the wound like micro-bombs.

The giant crab's abdominal armor shattered inch by inch under the vibration, revealing the soft flesh inside. White Night flipped his wrist, and the blade rotated and stabbed in, completely destroying its internal organs.

The giant crab's massive body twitched a few times before it stopped moving. The dark golden carapace lost its luster and gradually turned grey.

【Obtained Experience Points: 25 million】

【Hundredfold Experience Halo in effect, actual experience points gained: 2.5 billion】

【Congratulations on reaching level 499!】

The moment the system prompt sounded, a massive amount of energy erupted from White Night's body.

His body expanded slightly and quickly returned to normal, but the power within him had skyrocketed!

Faint golden patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, the mark of the fusion between divinity and Thunder Law.

"Peak Fifth Turn..."

White Night clenched his fists, feeling the power contained within them. With just a casual wave, he created a vacuum vortex in the surrounding water.

He moved his mind to check his attribute information:

【Name: White Night】

Class: Demigod · Thunder Sovereign

Level: lv499

HP: 10 trillion

Mana: 300 billion

Stats: Strength 20 billion, Spirit 50 million, Agility 50 million, Constitution 50 million

Skills: Basic Fighting Art...

...

After leveling up to the Peak Fifth Turn, his stats had increased several times over!

Especially his HP and Strength, one reaching a terrifying 10 trillion, the other 20 billion!

Terrifying indeed!

...

White Night continued to explore the secret realm, passing through the stone gate behind the altar and arriving at an underwater garden.

The garden was planted with glowing aquatic plants, interspersed with colorful coral flowers. In the central fountain, a pale blue crystal was suspended, exuding an aura of the Radiant Moon tier.

Just as he reached out to take the crystal, the sound of churning water came from the entrance of the garden.

Seven professionals wearing black combat armor appeared at the entrance, the devil patterns on the armor flickering in the water light.

The bald, burly man leading them carried a giant axe, and dark green blood was still dripping from the blade. Seeing White Night, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, immediately replaced by undisguised greed.

"Where did this native come from? To think he could make it here?" The bald man grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

The Demon Tooth Civilization professionals behind him laughed:

"Captain, this native's luck probably isn't the only thing at play. Only Fifth Turn, yet able to make it this far—he must have some heavy treasures on him!"

"That's right. Kid, hand over the goods. If we're satisfied, we might spare your little life."

White Night turned around, his eyes calmly sweeping over the seven people, and terrifying pressure poured out like a tide.

The glowing aquatic plants in the garden swayed violently under the pressure, coral petals withered one after another, and the water column of the fountain was pressed down by half.

"You lot, coming together, or one by one?" His voice traveled through the water, carrying cold killing intent.

The smile on the bald man's face froze instantly. He felt the pressure on White Night and realized it was even stronger than his own.

But pride would not let him retreat. He violently raised his giant axe, and the water on the blade swirled into a vortex: "Court death! Chop him up for me!"

The seven Demon Tooth professionals attacked simultaneously. The giant axe struck with the force to split mountains, the longsword stabbed toward vitals like a viper, and the short blades circled to the side, attempting a sneak attack.

The water churned into towering waves under their attacks, and the coral walls of the garden teetered in the giant waves.

A cold sneer curled the corner of White Night's mouth. The Eternal Demon Blade turned lightly in his hand, and the grey-black lightning and pale golden divinity intertwined into a spiral on the blade.

Boom--!

The great battle erupted instantly!
