Poseidon, the god of the sea!

The attacks of the seven Demon Tooth Professionals arrived like a torrential storm, and the water vortex split open by the bald brute's great axe carried the momentum to tear everything apart.

The space at the center of the vortex was twisting, and everywhere it passed, the coral flowers in the garden were shredded, and the glowing aquatic plants were uprooted.

The longsword wielder on the right flipped his wrist, and three rotating water arrows condensed at the tip of the sword. Pale blue Sharp Gold Law Affinity wrapped around the water arrows, stabbing towards White Night's throat, heart, and abdomen like venomous snakes.

This was the famous ultimate technique of the Demon Tooth Civilization, the “Three Deadly Stabs,” specializing in vital points.

The short knife wielder on the left used the cover of the current to hide in the shadow of the coral wall. The short knife in his hand glowed with a ghostly blue light, clearly smeared with potent poison that kills upon drawing blood. His target was White Night's nape, attempting to land a fatal blow while White Night dealt with the frontal attack.

The remaining four formed a diamond formation, swinging their weapons simultaneously. Four waves of water stacked together, forming a thirty-meter-high water wall that pressed down on White Night. The energy of the early Seventh Transference rolled within the water wall, enough to crush a small hill into powder.

White Night stood still, his gaze calmly sweeping over all the attacks.

Just as the water wall was about to reach him, his figure suddenly transformed into a pale purple flash of lightning, mixed with faint golden divinity. He appeared behind the short knife wielder as if teleporting.

The blade of the Eternal Demon Blade glowed with grayish-black thunder, cutting down with a sound that tore through the air.

"Pfft!"

The short knife wielder didn't even have time to turn around before his head flew up, and blood formed a red fountain in the water current.

White Night didn't pause. Using the shock force from slaying the short knife wielder, his speed increased again. He moved like a swimming thunder dragon, weaving between the four members of the diamond formation.

The blade light of the Eternal Demon Blade was like a blooming firework, and every flash was accompanied by a scream.

The first Professional's arm was severed at the shoulder. The thunder at the wound prevented him from stopping the bleeding, leaving him to sink in agony.

A smooth incision appeared at the waist of the second Professional, and internal organs mixed with blood spilled out, floating in the water.

The third Professional tried to block with a shield, but the blade light split the shield and cut both him and the shield in half.

The fourth Professional was terrified out of his wits and turned to flee, but he was struck by a Thunder Whip casually thrown by White Night, and his body was instantly charred by the lightning.

In the blink of an eye, all four members of the diamond formation had fallen. The bald brute's great axe had just swung at empty space. Seeing the miserable state of his companions, the greed in his eyes was instantly replaced by fear.

He roared, and the water vortex on his great axe surged to thirty meters wide, attempting to force White Night back with an area attack.

White Night's figure flickered within the vortex, moving as if strolling in a courtyard.

He did not meet the vortex head-on, but instead moved along the trajectory of the current. The blade of the Eternal Demon Blade repeatedly struck the side of the great axe, and each collision brought a deafening roar.

The water vortex on the great axe became unstable under the continuous impacts, and its light gradually dimmed.

The bald brute only felt his arm growing heavier and heavier. The web between his thumb and forefinger was split open, and blood flowed down the axe handle, dripping onto the black jade stone, making a “sizzling” sound and emitting white smoke.

"Impossible! You are clearly only at the Fifth Transference! How can you have such immense power?"

The bald brute roared. He couldn't understand how a Fifth Transference Professional could easily crush him, a mid-Seventh Transference expert.

White Night didn't answer. He suddenly accelerated, shooting out like an arrow released from a bowstring. The blade of the Eternal Demon Blade grazed the edge of the great axe, accurately slicing the bald brute's wrist.

"Crack!"

The wrist snapped instantly. The great axe lost its support and tumbled in the current, crashing into the coral wall and blasting a huge pit.

The bald brute looked at his empty wrist, his eyes filled with unbelievable terror. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, White Night's blade light had already sliced across his neck.

The head tumbled in the current, the final traces of terror still visible in its eyes.

White Night put away the Eternal Demon Blade and focused on the pale blue crystal in the center of the garden. He walked over, reached out, and grasped the crystal. A surge of pure Water Law Affinity flowed into his body, creating a marvelous resonance with the Thunder Law.

[Obtained Radiant Moon-tier Water Core * 1]

Putting the crystal into his backpack, he continued deeper into the underwater palace.

Passing through the garden, ahead was a long corridor. On the walls flanking the corridor hung murals inlaid with pearls, depicting a blond man holding a trident fighting in the sea.

He was clad in blue battle armor, studded with countless gems like stars in the night sky. He was surrounded by marine creatures such as whales, sharks, and dolphins. Under his command, these creatures formed a massive army, fighting against black monsters pouring out of a fissure.

"God of the Sea, Poseidon?" White Night looked at the man in the mural and the information that surfaced in his mind, a hint of surprise flashing in his heart.

Poseidon was the God of the Sea in ancient Greek mythology. He hadn't expected him to appear in the murals of the Nine Star Secret Realm.

The last mural depicted Poseidon fighting a thirty-thousand-meter-long black octopus. Poseidon's trident pierced the octopus's eye, but the octopus's tentacles also wrapped around his body, dragging him into the dark abyss.

At the end of the corridor was a circular main hall. The dome of the hall was inlaid with a massive blue crystal, thirty meters in diameter. Within the crystal was a miniature ocean, where schools of fish could be seen swimming and waves crashed against rocks, making a “huala” sound.

The floor of the main hall was paved with Millennium Cold Jade. Sea wave patterns were carved into the cold jade, through which pale blue energy flowed. Stepping on it, one could feel a cool sensation.

In the center of the main hall, a golden throne held a remnant clad in blue battle armor.

The owner of the remnant was the blond man from the mural. His face was blurred, but a hint of majesty was still discernible. His golden hair was draped over his shoulders like dry seaweed. The trident in his hand leaned against the throne, and the gem on the tip of the halberd emitted a faint blue light, its aura actually reaching the True God-tier!

This was the fallen deity, Poseidon!

As soon as White Night stepped into the main hall, the remnant on the throne suddenly opened its eyes!

They were a pair of gray-white, pupil-less eye sockets, where ghostly blue flames burned. A pressure far exceeding the peak of the Seventh Transference erupted from the remnant. The water flow in the entire hall was suppressed to a standstill, and dense cracks appeared on the Millennium Cold Jade floor, from which pale blue energy seeped out like tiny streams.

Poseidon's remnant slowly stood up. Dust rattled off the blue battle armor, revealing faintly shimmering scales underneath. He did not speak, merely raised the trident and pointed it at White Night.

In an instant, the crystal dome of the main hall trembled violently. The miniature ocean inside the crystal churned up monstrous waves, and countless water arrows shot out from the crystal, raining down on White Night.

The tips of the water arrows flickered with True God-tier Law fluctuations. Wherever they passed, space rippled, and the Millennium Cold Jade floor was riddled with holes.

White Night's expression was grave. This was the first time he had faced a True God-tier existence. Even though it was just a remnant, its pressure caused a slight disturbance in the Thunder Law within his body.

He dared not be careless. The Eternal Demon Blade was unsheathed, and the grayish-black thunder and faint golden divinity on the blade intertwined to form an indestructible barrier.

The water arrows struck the barrier, producing a deafening roar. The barrier trembled violently, and ripples spread across its surface, but it never shattered.

Using the barrier as cover, White Night activated the Time-Space Thunder Step. His figure rushed towards Poseidon's remnant like a phantom, the Eternal Demon Blade slashing toward his neck with the momentum to tear through the water current.

Poseidon's remnant reacted extremely fast, sweeping the trident horizontally. The shaft of the halberd collided with the blade, producing a crisp clang of metal.

White Night felt a surge of immense force, his arm went numb, and he was actually shaken back nine meters. He looked down at the Eternal Demon Blade, where a faint white mark had appeared on the blade.

This was the first time the Eternal Demon Blade had ever been marked by an enemy's weapon!

"True God-tier power is terrifying indeed." White Night took a deep breath. The Primordial Thunder Core and Divine Thunder Core within his body erupted simultaneously. The Thunder Domain expanded to six hundred meters, and the thunder blades within the domain rained down like meteors, fiercely attacking Poseidon's remnant.

Poseidon's remnant brandished the trident, forming a blue water curtain around his body. The water curtain blocked all the thunder blades, and the thunder released by the exploding blades only left ripples on the curtain.

He suddenly took a step forward and plunged the trident into the ground. The floor of the main hall instantly cracked open, and countless water pillars erupted from the fissures. Pale blue Law Affinity wrapped around the water pillars, forming an airtight water net that trapped White Night in the center.

As the water net tightened, White Night felt a powerful squeezing force, as if it were trying to crush his bones.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. The blade of the Eternal Demon Blade surged to thirty meters long. A trace of golden divinity was added to the grayish-black thunder on the blade—this was his strongest strike after fusing Thunder Law with divinity.

"Thunder: Godfall Slash."

The blade light, carrying the momentum to tear everything apart, slashed toward the center of the water net.

The water net shattered under the blade light like paper, and blue Law fragments scattered like meteors.

White Night's figure passed through the opening and appeared before Poseidon's remnant. The Eternal Demon Blade pierced his chest, straight to the core.

Poseidon's remnant suddenly stiffened. The ghostly blue flames in the gray-white eye sockets flickered violently, as if burning their last remaining power.

He raised the trident, seemingly intending to launch a final strike, but just as the tip was lifted, the flames completely extinguished. The remnant's body slowly fell backward, hitting the throne, and dissolved into countless blue motes of light, vanishing into the water.

The trident lost its support and fell to the ground with a "clank," the blue light on the shaft gradually dimming.

Where the remnant dissipated, a faint golden ring quietly floated. The ring was carved with sea wave patterns and inlaid with a blue gem in the center, emitting a True God-tier aura.

White Night reached out and grasped the ring. A vast Water Law Affinity surged into his mind, and simultaneously, the system prompt sounded:

[Obtained True God-tier poseidons ring]

[Equipment Effect: All attributes increased by 300%, Water Law Affinity +100%, capable of controlling water flow within a five-kilometer radius, immune to Water Element attacks of Seventh Transference and below.]

[Attached Skill: Sea God Domain (Active): Deploys the Sea God Domain within a fifty-kilometer radius. All Water Element attacks within the domain have their power increased by 50%. Can summon ten Peak Seventh Transference Sea Beasts to assist in battle. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

White Night slipped the ring onto his finger. The ring size automatically adjusted to fit his knuckle.

He could clearly feel that the surrounding water flow had become much more docile, as if obeying his command. He tried manipulating the current, and the water in the hall immediately gathered into a water dragon, circling and dancing under his control.

"True God-tier equipment... truly extraordinary."

White Night nodded in satisfaction, turning his gaze toward the wall behind the throne.

There was a secret door on the wall, and faint golden light emanated from the gap in the door, clearly indicating that there were other treasures inside.

He walked over and pushed open the secret door. Behind the door was a secret chamber.

In the center of the secret chamber was a stone platform, and on the platform lay a golden box carved with the Sea God's pattern, emitting a Radiant Moon-tier aura.

White Night opened the box. Inside was an ancient book made of Sea Dragon hide, and the four ancient seal characters "Sea God Battle Art" were written on the cover.

[Obtained Radiant Moon-tier Sea God Battle Art]

[Effect: Contains Water Law combat techniques. Mastering it increases the power of Water Element attacks by 30%.]

White Night put the ancient book into his backpack, searched the secret chamber again, found some equipment enhancement materials, and then turned to leave.

Passing through the main hall and returning along the path he came, the monsters along the way, upon sensing the True God-tier aura emanating from him, kept their distance and dared not approach.

Passing through the Star Gate and returning to the Eternal Sacred Ruins, White Night looked up at the sky. He could vaguely see the outline of the Eternal Divine Tower in the clouds.

The gains from the Nine Star Secret Realm far exceeded expectations, especially the poseidons ring and the Sea God Battle Art, which caused his strength to surge once more.

He clenched the True God-tier ring on his finger and turned to walk towards the Eternal Divine Tower.

The Sixth Transference and the True God title would be his next goals.

Before the Demon Abyss invasion, he had to increase his strength as much as possible to prepare for the safety challenges that Blue Star would face...
