Chapter 229: Fox God Palace!

Boom!

Above the challenge sea area, the blood-colored giant hand extended by the Blood God avatar across the sky crushed the worm head formed by Xuerou Zhi Cheng.

The entire body of Xuerou Zhi Cheng began to collapse, crashing into the seawater with a splash.

One strike, and it worked!

However, the black dragon Ao Li widened its eyes as it looked at the giant blood hand that had reached out.

Thick blood vessels suddenly appeared within the blood that made up the blood hand, and then flesh and blood emerged upon those vessels.

This flesh and blood proliferated extremely quickly, and it ignored the blood-light suppression from the Blood God avatar, which was a whole major realm higher.

This was clearly the flesh-and-blood contamination from Xuerou Zhi Cheng!

Even if the Blood God avatar took action, as long as it harmed the opponent, it would be contaminated by the opponent's Jianyuan Liliang.

And this... was a type of faction talent that almost all high-level Abyss monsters possessed.

Just as Ao Li was wary of this bizarre, cheat-like contamination power.

Clatter!

Ao Li discovered that Blood Chains had emerged on its own body and on the giant hand of the Blood God avatar.

As these chains locked the giant hand in circle after circle.

The contamination power within the Blood God giant hand was transferred to Su Ping.

And at the same time, it was purified by the Purification Potion.

"This war is not yet over."

After drinking an entire bottle of Purification Potion to thoroughly purify the transferred Abyss power.

Su Ping looked toward the sea surface and spoke slowly.

Following his whisper, within the blood light behind him, pair after pair of giant hands entwined with Blood Chains emerged.

On the sea surface, following that previous strike, Xuerou Zhi Cheng had already disappeared.

But such a trick naturally could not deceive the current Su Ping.

Ao Li received the order, circulated its dragon race divine ability, and roared out once more.

Instantly, the sea began to split toward both sides, directly revealing a seabed passage over twenty kilometers long and about three kilometers wide.

Once the sea-splitting appeared, although it was only in the shallow sea area and the scale was not as mystical as in myths.

After it appeared directly on this planet.

It still left those experts who were watching this scene directly via satellite in silence.

They found it hard to comprehend what kind of immense energy would be required to achieve this process if relying on brute force.

The generals, meanwhile, stared at the broadcasted footage, each of them gasping in cold air.

As the sea was split apart.

People could clearly see through the high-altitude perspective that the exposed seabed was already covered with a layer of thick Xuerou Juntan.

Xuerou Gaolou stood separated and distributed in an orderly fashion, seemingly forming a slightly sparse underwater city.

Su Ping once again exchanged for a bottle of Purification Potion and placed it in his mouth.

As he began to act with full force.

Behind him, eight-armed Blood God giant hands appeared, all clenching into fists simultaneously, pulling at the Blood Chains on their bodies.

Accompanied by a loud clattering sound, like meteors falling from the sky, they all smashed down in the blink of an eye.

Woo-woo-woo!

Under the giant fists, it was not as if Xuerou Zhi Cheng had no resistance.

Some of those Xuerou Gaolou turned into spikes, some transformed into sharp teeth and claws, and others split into hundreds or thousands of Xuerou Guaiwu.

Still others, dozens of Xuerou Gaolou, formed a circular Dharma Array and then fired a beam of dark red light.

But!

Under the Blood God's sky-falling fist, all beings are equal.

These resistances were all crushed one by one, and then, along with the Xuerou Juntan on the seabed, they were smashed deep into the underground.

At the same time.

Zhang Qiuzhen heard the order in his ear and immediately raised the High-grade Dharma Sword in his hand, pointing it toward the direction of the sea:

"Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword... raise the swords!"

"Slay the evil!"

As Zhang Qiuzhen, who served as the main array, moved, the other Sword Arrays followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, streaks of Sword Shadow flew out, and then, following Zhang Qiuzhen's Golden Light sword qi, they transformed into a Golden Light and fled toward where Su Ping was.

There, Su Ping had already taken out the Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon to serve as the physical carrier for the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array.

This pair of divine weapons could be considered quite familiar with this.

The masters of the Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon through the ages had all used it as a carrier to execute this Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array.

Its own spirituality was already sufficient to perfectly absorb this power and then use it to kill the enemy.

The power of this Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array was actually the worst among the many times the Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon had encountered it.

But the quality of the Innate Sharp Metal Sword Qi could rank in the top three in the experience of the Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon!

Swish!

The Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon suddenly transformed into an invincible, unstoppable Golden Light.

This Golden Light, along with the second simultaneous bombardment of the Blood God giant hands, submerged into the seabed.

And after the Blood God giant hands first destroyed the Xuerou Zaowu that had stubbornly poked their heads out the moment they lifted their hands.

This Golden Light plunged directly a hundred meters deep into the seabed, piercing a small piece of flesh that Xuerou Zhi Cheng had desperately protected after being defeated multiple times.

That was a piece of flesh and blood no larger than a fingernail.

It was very light and very thin.

Yet, it was the true core of the Xuerou Zhi Cheng, that high-level Abyss monster.

And it was a core that would almost never appear unless all related Xuerou Zaowu were destroyed!

As the Golden Light struck this piece of flesh, it tore it apart sharply, then triggered a kind of spatial cleavage that decomposed it into a state no longer visible to the naked eye.

Su Ping, having completed the mission, revealed the connection between himself and the materialized Heavenly Sword.

He heard the unwilling wails and vicious curses coming from the Xuerou Zhi Cheng.

At the same time, a large amount of chaotic memories surged over.

However, they were directly transferred by Su Ping to the Blood God Avatar.

He then prepared for the Blood God Avatar to separate the polluting power before transferring it back to himself for purification.

Only.

As the consciousness of the Xuerou Zhi Cheng vanished from the challenge area.

And the Difficult Challenge was judged a success.

The Abyss power was thoroughly purged from the entire Water Blue Star.

As the black dragon Ao Li flicked her dragon tail, she let the Dahai return to normal.

The world returned to peace and tranquility once more.

Everything from before seemed as if it had never happened.

Yet, this great battle, which in the eyes of experts and generals involved true transcendent power.

The psychological Shadow of the Abyss it left on them... might be impossible to erase for a lifetime.

Some who had originally held a certain faith in the power of technology also fell into bewilderment after learning the detailed data metrics.

Facing those strange things that could turn a Nuclear Bomb into a Xuerou Guaiwu, what could they rely on besides those transcendent big shots?

Perhaps, fully assisting and cooperating with the arrangements of those transcendent forces was the only correct path for Human Civilization to continue surviving?

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping sat cross-legged in the front courtyard of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion, sitting in the pavilion drinking Spirit Tea to recover the Essence Spirit and Qi he had consumed during this great battle.

At the same time, he looked at the rewards after this Difficult Challenge was successful.

Fifty thousand Fishing Coin and five hundred large Experience Book.

In addition, there was an extra Rare Partner Invitation Letter.

Compared to the Normal difficulty, the rewards for the Difficult Challenge were directly ten times higher!

This made an urge to choose the Extreme Difficulty challenge next time surge in Su Ping's heart.

But recalling the various details of this battle.

Su Ping hurriedly took a deep breath and shook his head slightly, letting this urge slowly dissipate.

The Difficult difficulty had already allowed a part of the Abyss territory to appear on Water Blue Star, and even a high-level Abyss Noble had appeared directly.

And this guy had wanted to pollute the entire world the moment it appeared.

If this were Extreme Difficulty, Su Ping suspected it might be an Avatar of an Abyss Lord with suppressed cultivation realm descending with an Abyss Yuanling.

Although the level of cultivation realm is an important indicator for judging combat power, it does not represent everything.

There are thousands of transcendent powers, and there are always strange powers that can forcibly shorten the gap in combat power between realms.

Su Ping did not want to flip his car and destroy his own rear base.

"A Rare Partner Invitation Letter?"

Su Ping took out the black card sent as a reward for the Difficult challenge.

Here, he saw the phantoms of Rare-grade partners that could be invited.

Among them were cute cat-eared maids, rabbit-eared little nurses, big sisters with pointed ears...

"Simply recruiting a new partner now won't help me much, after all, many skills of the Apprentice profession cannot be learned."

"This time, I'll just specialize in one and let Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura continue to advance."

Su Ping used the Rare Partner Invitation Letter and invited Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura again.

Suddenly, the Senior Fox-Masked Shrine Maiden, Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura, who was eating snacks and reading a novel in her room, suddenly discovered that she had advanced again!

From a Senior Shrine Maiden, she became a Main Priest.

As long as she advanced one more time, she could become the pinnacle of the Shrine Maiden profession, the Acting Palace Master!

As for the Palace Master, that was a position that only the direct lineage of the Fox God could hold.

After Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura advanced to Main Priest, she also gained a new ability: Sacrifice!

At the same time, because Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura became a Main Priest, a design blueprint appeared here for Su Ping.

【Fox God Palace Design Blueprint: After consuming one thousand tons of ore, one thousand cherry blossom trees, and one thousand Fishing Coin, a special building can be generated: Fox God Palace】

"A special building that comes after a partner reaches a certain professional grade?"

"It seems that the grade after Senior is a qualitative change!"

"It's a pity that the Rare grade is too hard to obtain, so only the Rare ones have a chance to slowly accumulate enough times."

"..."

Su Ping now had a bountiful harvest, his Fishing Coin having broken into five digits, so he naturally waved his hand and decided to complete this special building.

The ore and cherry blossom trees could be easily resolved by taking a trip to Water Blue Star.

Appearing in the image of Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura and saying the truth that it was needed to build the Fox God Palace.

The big shots of Sakura Country would rush over to resolve everything.

And after all these were resolved, and after paying one thousand Fishing Coin.

The design blueprint in Su Ping's hand vanished, replaced by the Fox God Palace, which occupied an area of about one thousand square meters and featured a layout and decoration similar to a Shrine, built atop a hundred-meter-tall stone mountain.

【Fox God Palace, special building, quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Heaven, placement can slightly increase the Spirit Qi output of the Dongtian.】

Su Ping thought for a moment and placed the Fox God Palace nearby, which would also be convenient for Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura to run over for visits and incidentally bestow blessings.

As the Fox God Palace rose from the ground.

After it appeared in all its splendor on this mountain peak.

Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura immediately sensed it and hurried out, then ascended the small mountain path lined with cherry blossom trees to reach the Fox God Palace.

Su Ping received a notification, but to make perfect use of the Fox God Palace.

It would also require twelve Shrine Maidens who believe in the Fox God to help.

And after assembling the Shrine Maidens and having Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura as the Main Priest.

The Fox God Palace would unleash its true potential, significantly boosting the skill effects of Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura.

At the same time, consuming 100 Fishing Coins can yield one Fox God Amulet.

This amulet has certain warding and protective capabilities, and three of them can form a protective Barrier when grouped together.

As for the monthly sacrifice, one can perform it by offering ten Purple Light Fox Spells and consuming 1000 Fishing Coins.

Thereby obtaining one Fox God Talisman.

The Fox God Talisman can summon a phantom of the Fox God's Highness to descend for about ten minutes.

The strength of the Talisman and Amulet is related to the Main Priest.

The stronger the Main Priest, the stronger the effects of these items will be.

After reading the description of this special building, Su Ping looked at Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura.

He decided to tilt a portion of his resources toward this Main Priest.

Thereby maximizing the effects of this special building as much as possible.

It was also to maximize his current growth in strength.

After all, Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura is only Rare, and both her upgrade and breakthrough costs are much lower than those of Rare partners.

If five hundred large Experience Books were dumped into the Fire Knight or Valkyrie Kong, they might only reach Tier 2 Late Stage.

If given to Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura, as long as she isn't stuck on breakthrough materials, reaching the third tier, which is the Golden Core realm, should be no problem.

"Eh? I've become stronger again?"

Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura was a bit dazed; having just sat in the main hall of the Fox God Palace and feeling incomparably at peace while looking at the purple statue of the Fox God, she suddenly discovered that her level had started to rise rapidly.

She soon reached the Tier 2 peak, and after Su Ping checked and found that the breakthrough materials were indeed Green Spirit Fish and Flowing Pattern Golden Dragon Fish.

The Spirit Fish swimming in the Spirit Light Fish Pond suddenly turned into white light.

Immediately!

A beam of purple light shot straight into the clouds from above the Fox God Palace.

At this point!

Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura, the Main Priest of the Fox God Palace, became the first Golden Core powerhouse among Su Ping's partners!

At the same time, a phantom of the Fox God appeared in the Fox God Palace, seemingly expressing approval for its Main Priest breaking through to the third tier.

Inside the ancient Demon Sealing Tower.

The black dragon, who continued to serve as a charging battery, suddenly moved its body.

It sensed a newly promoted Golden Core being born not far away.

Unfortunately, it could only passively accept the waves spreading out, as its own Divine Sense could not break through the area of this ancient high tower.

Otherwise, it would have been very curious about the origin of this new Golden Core.

A disciple under the Master?

Or perhaps a new spirit pet like itself?

Just as it was thinking this.

The black dragon suddenly tensed its body, feeling a wave of great terror wash over it.

It made it instinctively want to flee.

Fortunately, this pressure vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, the black dragon Ao Li remained trapped in that state of shock and fear, unable to extricate itself.

"That pressure just now... what kind of existence could emit that?"

"Even the old Sect Leader from back in the day never had such pressure!"

"Spirit Transformation? Or perhaps a great terrifying existence even above Spirit Transformation?"

"What exactly is the origin of this new master of mine? Could it really be... an Immortal!"
