Beaten up!

September 15th

Beaten up!

November 4th

The first snowfall in the White Spirit World, heavy and beautiful.

Beaten up!

December 5th

After a hundred days of sparring with Su Huanian, for the first time, I managed to land a solid hit on the Fairy. The overwhelming seawater drenched her, stunningly beautiful, breathtaking, I was mesmerized.

Beaten up, twice!

December 8th

Recovered after three days, repeated the old tricks, and got beaten up again!

Despicable! To think she would use combat power beyond Traverse Heaven! And she wouldn’t even allow for mercy! She even formed a whip out of water, laced with thunder and lightning!

In three months, she has thoroughly grasped all my combat instincts. Without moving a claw, she knows exactly what I’m about to do, leaving me no chance to fight back.

But I had anticipated this, and still managed to hit the Fairy. Who says Divine Might can’t be used to roar at oneself? As long as I confuse myself with my roar, losing all sense of tactics, even I don’t know what my next move will be, let alone the Fairy.

Hit her, embraced her fully.

Su He curled up in his own little world, his consciousness nestled within the Sense Realm, recording the humiliating experiences of the past hundred days on the Mirror of Enlightenment.

Su Huanian was too ruthless, especially today.

Perhaps it was the Divine Might that left her dizzy and confused, and in a moment of bewilderment, she barked at Su Huanian twice, which took her by surprise, and then with a flick of a claw, she was pulled into an embrace.

I had intended to suppress her directly with the Mountain God Seal, but before it could take shape, I found a shortcut. Merging the Mountain God Seal with my body, using myself as the seal, the direct collision and suppression were even more effective.

But my head was a bit off, I pulled her back but didn’t suppress or seal her.

And then I got beaten up quite badly.

However, it doesn’t matter. Today, the Mountain Soul Seal will finally take shape. Another Divine Ability is also on its way. Next time we fight, as long as Su Huanian doesn’t use that rule-breaking Fairy Sword, I should at least be able to stand on invincible ground.

The Great Net of Carrying Mountains enveloped a stretch of the sea, with countless heavenly and earthly treasures tumbling and floating within, being absorbed continuously. Above Su He’s head, a mass of golden liquid writhed, its attributes of collision and suppression flashing non-stop.

As the heavenly and earthly treasures within the Great Net of Carrying Mountains diminished, the golden liquid solidified, gradually forming… a dice!

Its size changed at will, large enough to form mountains and rivers, small as melons and fruits. Its edges were sharp, each face had dots, and it shone with a solid and heavy golden light.

Su He: “…”

Why did this happen?!

The Mountain God Seal is supposed to be a seal! A seal! At most, it should have taken the form of a mountain, so why did it turn into a dice?!

Could it be that I’m a gambler at heart?!

Surprised, Su He watched as the dice fell from the sky, spinning atop the Mountain God Seal. The Mountain God Seal wasn’t something snatched away; the dice didn’t roll any specific number, just kept spinning atop it.

As it spun, the Mountain God Seal grew brighter, its golden light flashing to the extreme, then suddenly radiated outward before retracting completely. It turned into an ordinary golden cube.

With a thought, Su He absorbed the Mountain God Seal into his body. Upon inspection, there was nothing particularly special about it.

Primarily for collision and destruction, with suppression and sealing as secondary functions, it contained the power of the Thunder Pool. Any strike would carry the force of a thunderous blow.

The power of the thunder was related to the true essence, while the force of collision and destruction depended not only on the true essence but also on the strength of the Mountain God Seal itself, which needed to constantly draw from various treasures to enhance its power.

Su He leaped into the White Spirit World, looking at the sea surface and smashed down with the seal. The dice spun and crashed down with a thunderous roar.

Boom!

The entire sea was pressed down and then rebounded violently, shooting up into the sky, a massive water column reaching for the clouds, and after exhausting its force, it crashed back down. Waterfalls filled the sky and earth.

Centered where the Mountain God Dice had fallen, tsunamis rolled outwards in all directions.

Su He was astonished.

He had only used a fraction of his strength, but the power of the Mountain God Seal was countless times stronger than a full-force blow from his physical body!

Lightning streaked through the center where the Mountain God Seal had hit, space cracked like a shattered mirror, then rapidly repaired itself.

Two-tenths of the force was not enough to completely shatter space.

As Su He was stunned, snowflakes began to fall, each one landing on the sea surface like a needle that calmed the sea, stabilizing the area.

Su He’s expression changed, preoccupied with testing his Divine Ability, he had neglected the destruction this tsunami would cause to the world!

Who knows how many Exotic Beasts, how many islands would be utterly destroyed.

Su He let out a long chant, and a torrential rain poured down, each drop heavier than a thousand catties, piercing through the waves like dense nails, pinning the tsunami to the sea surface.

The clouds ceased, and the rain stopped, the tsunami abruptly fell back, and huge waves surged and roared as if it were the end of the world. But in reality, it no longer posed a great disaster.

In the sky, Su Huanian appeared, stepping on a feather of flying snow. Seeing Su He transform into a sword light and strike directly at her.

Bring it on!

This was the basic state of the two for the past three months, ready to fight upon sight.

These three months felt like a return to the trepidation of two years ago at Listening Sea Lake, where predators could bite from any direction at any moment.

Combat had become instinct, the only difference being that two years ago, it was with beaks and claws, and two years later, with Divine Abilities and spells.

Su Huanian’s sword thrust was still with the power of Traverse Heaven, Su He’s figure flashed, and with Divine Sense, he appeared right below her.

He didn’t attack from behind, as backstabbing was ineffective against cultivators. Divine Sense spread out, and every direction was the front.

Even if you think you’ve succeeded in a sneak attack, you might become careless and get counter-killed, which is quite common.

The moment Su He appeared, he opened his dragon mouth to use Divine Might. In battle with cultivators, the first thing to break is Divine Sense. It’s like blinding them. A cultivator without Divine Sense drastically loses combat power.

The moment Su He appeared, Su Huanian already knew what he was about to do. The Clear Heart Technique protected her primordial spirit, and her sword, like flying snow, attacked from all directions.Even with preparation, the presence of divine might at close quarters would still affect one’s Divine Sense, causing a momentary inability to release it—this was the tacit understanding between Su He and Su Huanian. Naturally, Su He would not use his full strength against Su Huanian’s divine might, lest he truly damage her spirit.

Using only a fraction of his power to slightly affect her was also a way to temper Su He for encounters with enemies who were not afraid of divine might, teaching him how to respond.

Su Huanian executed her swordplay in all directions, fearing that Su He might take advantage of her dizziness to attack from an odd angle with his divine machinery.

With a swing of her sword, her vital energy was released, and the sword technique could not be altered. Yet, instead of heeding the sound of divine might, she saw the Dragon Turtle beneath her open his mouth and spit out a dice. It shot up from below, striking with a boom.

The dice grew larger and larger, with laws entwining around it.

Su Huanian’s expression changed slightly.

Was this the Divine Ability that could unleash a tsunami? Was this the Mountain God Seal that the fellow had struggled to condense after three months of arduous cultivation?

Her Fairy Sword had already struck out in all directions, and the Mountain God Seal was about to collide with her. Yet, the Fairy remained unflustered, stepping down with her lotus foot, unleashing a thunderbolt that struck the giant dice. The thunder exploded upon impact, but the pure gold dice merely paused, not stopping, and continued to charge up against the thunder.

Collision!

Like a great mountain, Su Huanian was sent flying. What was more terrifying was that within the dice, a thunder of a completely different nature from her own thunder attribute exploded beneath her. Instantly, her entire body was paralyzed.

Unable to dodge in time, she was struck by the Mountain God Seal and sent soaring into the sky.

Above the sky, unbeknownst to when, an iceberg had formed and plummeted down like a thousand jun.

The thousand-jun iceberg collided with the Mountain God Seal, with Su Huanian caught in between.

Su Huanian’s expression changed slightly. In the instant before the iceberg and the Mountain God Seal collided, a flash of light emanated from her body, and her Fairy Sword sang through the air, cleaving the iceberg in two. The sword qi shot straight into the sky, tearing the entire sky in half.

The Fairy emerged from the shattered ice, Sword Riding through the sky, and landed quietly beside Su He, her expression somewhat strange. After a long while, she finally said, “No gambling!”

She had been forced to release the restraints on her body, and at the very least, in that last collision, the little Dragon Turtle had won.

Three months… It had only taken three months for him to harmonize his Divine Abilities.

Su He opened his mouth but said nothing.

He never gambled.

No, that’s not the point right now. There was something off about the Mountain God Seal! He had just used it with only twenty percent of his strength, but the power of the Mountain God Seal was much greater than when it struck the sea.

The power had at least doubled!

The same force, the same vital energy, yet the power had doubled.

“Sister, take another hit from my Mountain God Seal,” Su He said seriously. Of course, the greater the power of a Divine Ability, the better, but an uncontrollable change in power was worse than a smaller force.

Was she going to test a new Divine Ability? Su Huanian twirled her sword and said, “Alright.”

“Be careful, its power will increase!” Su He warned earnestly.

Su Huanian nodded, not adding back the restraints on her body, but instead stretching out. She released her full Cultivation Level. With just a gentle stretch, her proud figure was fully revealed, and the moonlight danced lightly on her chest, mesmerizing Su He.

Su Huanian retracted her posture, and seeing Su He’s hurriedly averted gaze, her face flushed, and she slapped her sword on top of his head.

“Reflect! Make your move.”

The split iceberg fell to both sides, raising towering waves that, upon reaching the two, were blocked by an invisible force, with only a few splashes entering and wetting half a thread of the Fairy’s sleeve, clinging to her body and outlining her jade-like arms.

Su He used Water Manipulation to retreat, nodding towards Su Huanian, and then spewed out the Mountain God Seal from his mouth, still using twenty percent of his vital energy.

Su Huanian frowned and struck the Mountain God Seal with her sword. This time, prepared and releasing her Cultivation Level, she was not sent flying, but she was still pushed back two steps.

The power had increased again!

“Sister, how does the power compare to just now?” Su He asked.

Su Huanian replied softly, “About one and a half times stronger.”

One and a half times that of just now meant three times that of the sea-smashing force.

One, two, three…

The power increased exponentially.

“Sister, accompany me a few more times for testing,” Su He said earnestly.

Su Huanian nodded.

Another Mountain God Seal was launched, and as soon as it left his mouth, it vanished, reappearing beside Su Huanian and striking her directly.

Su Huanian became even more serious, with snow and thunder simultaneously emerging from her sword and landing on the Mountain God Seal, shattering a piece of space.

“It’s twice that of the first time,” Su Huanian said softly.

What she referred to as the first time was the direct confrontation between the two, which was actually the second time Su He used the Mountain God Seal. That meant the fourth time was four times the first.

With each use of the Mountain God Seal, its power increased.

Then the fifth time, the sixth time…

Su He and Su Huanian tested it over and over again until the seventh time when the power suddenly shrank back to normal strength.

Then it started over again.

The maximum power of the Mountain God Seal was a sixfold increase in attack. After six times, it would start over from the beginning.

Six sides, six points, six times the power—it would be strange if it wasn’t the dice’s effect!

Su He looked at the spinning dice-shaped Mountain God Seal before him and fell into deep thought.

How biased! Why is it that Divine Abilities like divine might and external appearances don’t have this kind of stacking and doubling effect?

Isn’t that discrimination?

The doubling effect of the Mountain God Seal was very user-friendly. It wasn’t that the first attack had a power of 1 and the second would be 2. Instead, it doubled based on the force used by Su He in that attack!

For example, if Su He used ten percent of his strength in the first attack, the power would be 1, and if he used forty percent in the second attack, the power would be 8. It wasn’t doubling based on the first attack’s power. The power doubled based on the force used in that attack.

A sixfold attack with seventy percent strength meant that even Su Huanian had to be fully alert and take it seriously.

True Divine Strike!

This dice would shatter anything it hit; there was no second scenario.After refining a new Divine Ability throughout the night, Su He brought Su Huanian back to the island at dawn. Feng Yaya was gnawing on a pork knuckle, her face glistening with grease, when she spotted Su He returning with Mother from afar. She snorted and pouted, “You went out to have fun with Mother again without taking me along.”

Su He: “……”

Great! Tomorrow’s battle just got harder!

But no worries! After a good sleep today, the new Divine Ability, Chaotic Blades, will be fully integrated and ready for normal use.

I, Su He, am invigorated, with no taboos left to fear!

Chaotic Blades is a miraculous technique, a desperate move that kills a thousand enemies at the cost of a thousand of one’s own. It’s a despicable full-screen skill that attacks all living beings within a certain range.

Enveloping Su He himself!

There’s no need to think about dodging; even soul beasts trapped in illusions are cut down without error. It’s one of the few Divine Abilities that can harm soul beasts.

All living creatures shall be annihilated! Whether they are special races similar to telekinetics or normal life forms.

This skill is only suitable for the Dragon Turtle clan; as long as my defense is high enough, it’s a surefire profit!

The attack range and the level of the Divine Ability are related to the user’s own Realm. It’s not specific.

With this move, no matter how agile Su Huanian is, she can’t escape. Combined with the domain, it’s a sure kill.

As Su He pondered, a long chant from the ancient Luo echoed through the Mountain and Sea Mystic Realm.

“Little one, the Beast Transformation chapter has been revised. Immerse your consciousness fully into the Mystic Realm and come to retrieve it.”

Su He was startled, then overjoyed!
