Apotheosis

It was true that Zen was strong, but Diego didn't expect that he'd not be hurt by the arrow at all.

To make matters even worse, Zen had used that same arrow to escape from his water net and killed Bryan with his sword as well!

How was that possible?

In panic, Diego pushed off the ground with his legs and quickly slid backwards on the sea.

Although he moved backward at an extremely fast speed, Zen followed him behind more quickly.

Before the sword radiance that Zen had unleashed caught up to Diego, Zen had transformed into a streak of lightning and ran towards him.

"Water Vortex Array!"

Diego uttered the command as he retreated and frantically waved his arms.

In turn, dozens of waterspouts rose from the sea and rushed towards Zen.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Despite the harsh water out to whip at Zen, he didn't even blink. He simply continued to wield his Shadow Bearing Sword.

The waterspouts that attacked him did not stand against the Shadow Bearing Sword at all. The sword sliced through them and they quickly fell apart one after the other.

"Puff!"

After he was done with the waterspouts, he quickly approached Diego and thrust his sword through his chest.

Then, he swung his long sword and pulled Diego towards his back.

At that moment, the sword radiance that he had previously released took over with a loud roar.

When Diego saw that the sword radiance was about to kill him, he gritted his teeth and a strange force flew out from his elixir field.

"Splash!"

His body suddenly turned into a transparent and shapeless thing, until it fully became a mass of water that flowed into the sea alongside the Shadow Bearing Sword.

It was the Shapeless Water, the consummate level theurgy of the Parting Water Godly Way.

This theurgy could instantly dissolve the body and merge it with water.

If given enough time, one could even use this theurgy to control the sea, summon the storms, and churn the waves.

Now, Diego had used it to run away out of desperation.

After all, this particular world had been sealed off, so he couldn't use the Grand Teleportation technique either.

They had blocked Zen's way, and also their own--but what they didn't know was that they would face such a powerful monster.

On the o

wo formed the boundary between the Square Sky Region and the Sea Vessel Region.

"Both the spaces of the Sea Vessel Region and the Square Sky Region have been sealed. Thus, we can't use the Grand Teleportation technique once we enter. If we go along this coastline, we should be able to block our target in the Sea Vessel Region," he said.

"I have an idea. Can we also ambush the target in the Snake Spirit Region?" a consummate True God from the Dongfang Clan asked.

Rocher shook his head and said, "After entering the Snake Spirit Region, our target can run away using the Grand Teleportation technique--as long as he has reached the consummation of True God Realm. If I'm not mistaken, he's indeed a consummate True God."

If the target was not a consummate True God, Rachelle and Shahn, who had sent the message, would've killed him already. They clearly wouldn't hold off until now.

Yet, Rocher was still a bit confused. If the target was just a consummate True God, then it shouldn't be too difficult for Rachelle and Shahn to deal with him with their power. Why did they delay it till now?

At that moment, three spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared in front of Rocher, and it wasn't long before three more consummate True Gods came.

A frown tugged at Rocher's lips at the sight of the group's leader. It was Troy.

The two of them hadn't been on the best terms for a long time. They looked at each other. Troy snorted coldly and took his people to enter the Sea Vessel Region without a word.
