The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 485 - 302: The Secret of Breaking Through to the Seventh Rank!
Su Qi wasn''t joking, he was truly in a rush. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He was very eager to make a breakthrough to the Seventh Rank as soon as possible, as the limit of the Eighth Rank was almost reached.
The quantity and quality of his Spiritual Energy were quickly approaching a critical point, the limit for the Eighth Rank.
To elevate his power to another level,
he must only break through to the Seventh Rank.
Of course,
there were many reasons for Su Qi''s urgency.
Firstly, in this Land of Extreme Evil, individuals at the Seventh Rank were as common as cattle and horses.
Ordinary Seventh Rank individuals, in many worlds, were the strongest beings.
But here,
they were just pedestrians seen everywhere, not to mention the Divine Sons, powerful races, descendants, and so on, who were top-tier, formidable combat forces.
Secondly, the "Dead Leaf of the World Tree" couldn''t hold on any longer; since getting close to this Dark Zone, the Evil God power in Su Qi''s pupils became restlessly active.
If he didn''t make a breakthrough soon and achieve a qualitative change, Su Qi feared he wouldn''t be able to suppress it any longer.
Thirdly, Su Qi seemed to have stumbled upon the secret of breaking through to the Seventh Rank - three different Path of Series that he wanted to advance further on.
That was to push all paths to their limits and then violently break through the barrier obstructing them and surge ahead.
He needed an outburst at the brink of his limit, or combat, or life and death.
Walking the hardest road, naturally, meant ascending while treading on the edge of a cliff.
"Just that,"
Su Qi looked at the Blood King he had just blasted away, "this guy is a bit weak."
"If it weren''t for the Undying strength of the Blood Moon, he would probably have fallen in a few rounds."
Su Qi was quite melancholy.
He was now lacking an opponent who could let him go all out, reveal all his cards, and still be silencable.
"Nevermind,"
Under the astonished and puzzled gaze of the Blood King, Su Qi directly kicked him fiercely onto the ground!
"Buddy, sorry... I''m in a hurry."
The Blood King wasn''t unkillable; his body contained a Blood Core that was a fatal weakness but was hidden and protected, and could even be transferred.
However,
Su Qi didn''t care that much, and the Dark Star in his hand suddenly transformed into a massive silver hammer, ready to bring an end to things once and for all.
"Who on earth are you!"
The Blood King roared in astonishment and swearing!
"I am of the Bloodline! With an endless and powerful existence behind me, no matter who you are! If you dare lay a hand on me, my kin will not let you go..."
Su Qi halted his raised hammer suddenly.
He paused, "Do you have other kin?"
"Indeed!"
The Blood King sneered, "Our glorious ancestor of the Bloodline is a terrifying being of the Fourth Rank! Commanding numerous powerful races across a multitude of worlds!"
Su Qi pondered, "That is to say... your race is in charge of this world."
"Naturally, my people will be arriving soon!" The Blood King''s expression turned ice-cold, "By then, you will die a miserable death!"
He wanted to see fear on Su Qi''s face, but was disappointed; the other man''s expression remained calm, showing no trace of fear.
Su Qi spoke gently,
"Don''t deceive yourself..."
Su Qi calmly observed as a large hole was blasted into the wall of the entire castle, inside of which were numerous withered Blood Ponds, and all the ritual patterns were ancient.
"If I''m not mistaken, you''ve tried contacting them countless times through sacrificial rituals, but there''s been no response from any powerful beings within your race."
"Despair from being unable to leave, fear as if you''ve been abandoned, and confusion about what actually happened."
The Blood King clenched its fangs tightly, refusing to admit Su Qi''s guess and was about to curse back.
But Su Qi calmly said, "Let me tell you the truth."
"The powerful race you rely on is highly likely gone, just as the wild animals might have obliterated your group of Bloodline, completely extinct."
Throughout the annals of history, numerous races have been wiped out, especially in that final battle, which, according to some information, was almost on the level of world-annihilating Destruction.
Many gods and ancient beings had no choice but to choose slumber for survival.
Beings like the highest-ranked Third Rank of the Bloodline had no news about them in later generations... They had most likely been Annihilated in that Destruction.
"You''re talking nonsense!"
The Blood King furiously rose with blood energy erupting skyward, "It''s only been a little over a year! How could my race possibly be extinct!"
Su Qi stroked his chin, "It''s been over a year since you awakened."
For beings like those from closed worlds or ancient races that slumber, they don''t feel the passage of time.
Because, at the moment of their slumber, space-time seemed to stop for them.
After their awakening,
everything proceeded from where it left off the second before.
Du En''s world was similar, but since they had communication channels with the outside world, coupled with transactions between the White-haired Priest and the Venerable of the Abyss Church, the dissonance wasn''t strong.
But from this Blood King, the feeling was clear.
"I can only tell you, it is now the Present World." Su Qi said gently, "Countless years have passed since the day of Destruction."
The Blood King''s pupils shook violently, disbelievingly gazing at Su Qi, "The Present World..."
It trembled, seemingly unable to accept all of this.
Su Qi wasn''t surprised.
True existences with deep backgrounds, from slumber to awakening to competing in the Present World, had a full-service arrangement, clear and straightforward.
Whereas most were bewildered as time and circumstances changed, sealed within Space Fragments and still thinking they were in ancient times.
"Looking at it this way, the Dark Zone shouldn''t be drawing in a large amount of the old closed spaces," Su Qi mused to himself, "That might really hit the jackpot."
Not to mention encountering gods, ancient demigods, strong races, and even heroes with widespread fame, all could potentially be encountered.
