Chapter 671 - 668: Lord Level Magic Power Intensity!
Primordial Sea, interior.
The Wushan Divine Lady and Blood Spider could no longer hold on.
The omnipresent deep sea pressure alone was suffocating, but the robust physique of advanced Awakened individuals allowed them to endure for a while.
The two continued to reassure Bai Pu in the team channel - this was the channel of their permanent three-member team, separate from the Huaxia Battle Group.
The last few messages from Bai Pu in the team channel flickered before them.
[I’m coming.]
[I can’t break the seal for now.]
[Hold on a bit longer, I’ll try to kill Napo Gang, and the seal will release itself.]
Originally, the two still harbored hope.
Although Napo Gang’s methods were unfathomable and his strength exceeded any Awakened they had seen, Bai Pu’s consistent performance always brought surprises.
However, as time ticked by, that hope gradually faded.
As Prince Napo Gang activated the "Dissolve" Mystical Art of the Primordial Sea, streams of undercurrents surged, and their life values began to slowly decline.
Their consciousness also gradually became unclear.
Wushan Divine Lady Wu Mingyue and Blood Spider Wu Qingyun felt for the first time that death was so near. Death God’s icy fingers had already touched their throats.
"Bai Pu, my aunt and I can’t hold on much longer."
Wu Qingyun struggled to send a message through thought in the team channel.
A vague sadness spread.
As she sent the message, a series of images flashed before Wu Qingyun’s eyes like a revolving lantern.
In nearly twenty years, her most memorable and happiest time started when she moved to Xicheng for college.
Recalling how she met Bai Pu, adventuring with him in the Spirit Realm, the process of two socially anxious people slowly putting down their guards felt a bit sweet.
So when Wu Qingyun sent the message, she instinctively used Bai Pu’s real name instead of his Spirit Realm alias.
This gave a sense of closeness.
Unfortunately, she never properly confessed her feelings to him.
With a touch of regret, Wu Qingyun typed the second line:
"Bai Pu, I like you."
Next to her, Wushan Divine Lady Wu Mingyue saw her niece’s confession at the last moment, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
All her life, Wu Mingyue prided herself on not looking up to any man.
Only Bai Pu repeatedly broke her perceptions.
Based on her niece Wu Qingyun’s relationship with him, Wu Mingyue initially regarded Bai Pu as a half-junior. Towards such an outstanding younger generation, she was very appreciative and caring.
But that feeling of appreciation and care unknowingly changed at some point.
Perhaps it started from the last time she suggested joining the team.
Wu Mingyue had been very cautious, hiding that changed affection deep inside.
She feared the eyes of the world, especially knowing her niece Qingyun had feelings for Bai Pu first.
Her being involved as an aunt, as a third party?
Gossip could drown a person.
Although Awakened are somewhat different from ordinary people, age and seniority gaps can be bridged by strength, and it’s common for the strong to have multiple spouses.
But Wu Mingyue couldn’t get past this inner barrier.
Now, at the brink of death, Wu Mingyue instead let go of her worries.
If I’m going to die, and can’t let him understand my feelings...
Wouldn’t that be a lifelong regret?
Pressed for time, without thinking much more, Wu Mingyue also typed a line of message:
"Bai Pu... don’t forget me."
Though somewhat cryptic, unlike Wu Qingyun’s directness, this was Wu Mingyue’s most straightforward confession.
Wu Qingyun seeing the message, wasn’t stunned or angry.
Though socially anxious and reluctant to speak, inside she was sensitive and perceptive, having long noticed her aunt’s feelings for Bai Pu.
Though Wu Mingyue, as her aunt, was only ten years older than Wu Qingyun, she was more like an older sister.
Subconsciously, Wu Qingyun had always seen Wu Mingyue as a sister, so didn’t find her aunt’s confession inappropriate.
With the thought "about to die, why worry about so much," Wu Qingyun simply made it clear:
"Yes, Bai Pu, my aunt and I both like you."
Wu Mingyue’s cheeks flushed red, but she didn’t deny it.
One can only say, the directness of the socially anxious is very powerful.
However, after reaching a consensus, they both simultaneously sent a new message:
"Bai Pu, run! Don’t worry about me!"
...
In the hemispherical interlayer battlefield.
Bai Pu’s eyes were cold, staring at Napo Gang.
Napo Gang was anxious inside.
But he acted calm and unruffled:
"Keep stalling, your two teammates are about to perish. So, show me what other tricks you have?"
Bai Pu squinted as if making a decision.
"Napo Gang, you forced me into this."
Bai Pu flipped his hand, and two treasure beads, emitting different colored lights, appeared in his palm.
The Earth Dragon Bead shone with golden light, the Abyssal Treasure Bead with blue light.
Bai Pu swallowed the two top-level magical power sources in one gulp. He forcibly absorbed them into his body, making them his new Earth and Water Element magic cores!
Vast and mighty energy erupted.
Bai Pu used spiritual power to view within, the two top-level magical power sources were like two blazing suns, radiating endless light!
The golden light representing the Earth Element magic source, and the blue light of the Water Element, completely overshadowed Bai Pu’s other magic sources (Fire Element and Wind Element).
They were like two suns compared to two waning moons.
Bai Pu clearly felt a significant increase in his Earth and Water Element energy strength, as well as a clearer perception and stronger control over the two elemental factions.
Now, Bai Pu’s magical prowess was almost on par with half a Lord Level, equivalent to the Elemental Super Mage - Controller, known among the native Demon Fighting World.
The difference being, other native Super Mages didn’t have such top-level magical sources, relying on long-term cultivation to accumulate;
Bai Pu, however, achieved Lord Level magical strength almost instantly with the Earth Dragon Bead and Abyssal Treasure Bead, two Divine-Demonic Relics.
Of course, doing so came at a cost.
As an Elemental Mage, balancing multiple attributes is essential with four-system cultivation.
The four major factions must advance in parallel, using magic sources of consistent tiers!
Otherwise, an imbalance occurs, weakening and collapsing the weaker two magic cores!
During the Professional Plane trial, Bai Pu knew multi-attribute Elemental Mage requires balanced magic cores.
But now, Bai Pu had no choice.
Forcibly incorporating the Earth Dragon Bead, Abyssal Treasure Bead into his body would be impossible for ordinary people.
But the Composite Mystical Art: Viewing the Sea, just comprehended by Bai Pu, happens to be a fusion of the Earth and Water Elements, giving Bai Pu exceptional mastery of these two elements.
His Prismatic Fighting Qi swiftly transformed, refining a new Demon Fighting Qi - Viewing the Sea Demon Fighting Qi!
The strength of Viewing the Sea Demon Fighting Qi had fully reached the level of an Advanced Lord - even without the attack strength bonus from a King-level Purple Weapon!
Combined with the King-level Purple Weapon, Bai Pu’s attack strength now even surpassed similarly leveled Enhanced Lords!
Prince Napo Gang naturally sensed Bai Pu’s soaring momentum and successively shot [Pure Water Stake].
Yet this time, the Pure Water Stake landed on Bai Pu’s body, wrapped in a thick Gang Wind, and couldn’t penetrate, instead scattering away.
