Chapter 206: The God of the Ocean

“Strange, why is there only one set of armor? Where’s my helmet, my scepter?”
A powerful mental fluctuation stretched out from the blue giant cocoon, slowly scanning the surroundings.
At this moment, Chen Xiao’s mind was tightly strained. The ice-blue flame power within him was fully activated, almost overflowing. His primary divine essence also appeared from his mental sea, emitting blue divine energy. Yet, the moment that divine energy came into contact with the ice-blue flame, it was instantly assimilated.
The control techniques were fully deployed to manage the ice-blue flame, hiding Chen Xiao’s body deep within the void.
“Really nothing?”
Another voice came from within the blue giant cocoon. It sounded drowsy, as if the entity hadn’t fully awakened yet, still in a state between wakefulness and dreams.
Gradually, the blue giant cocoon regained its calm, and its divine essence emitted a faint glow, once again enveloping the cocoon.
In secret, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
“I never thought the God of the Ocean was still alive… If it weren’t for the transformation of the primary divine energy into this strange flame power, I might have been detected by him. Is this the power of gods?”
For a brief moment, Chen Xiao felt that terrifying mental fluctuation was about to crush his physical body. Had his primary divine energy not transformed into the ice-blue flame and merged with the divine artifact Snowflakes Drifting, making his body incredibly strong, he would likely have been killed by that mental force.
At this point, Chen Xiao didn’t even dare to release his own mental energy, relying solely on sight to observe.
On the other side of the blue giant cocoon was the passage leading out of the grand hall. If Chen Xiao left recklessly, it would likely draw the attention of the God of the Ocean inside the cocoon, which would be dangerous.
Chen Xiao couldn’t guarantee that his thinking was faster than that of a god, allowing him to retreat to the primary divine space before the other party acted.
So, Chen Xiao remained motionless, hiding all traces of his presence.
“Is it really gone?”
Suddenly, a murmuring voice came from within the blue giant cocoon. Instantly, cold sweat poured down Chen Xiao’s forehead. It turned out the God of the Ocean had been pretending; in reality, its mental power was still scanning the surroundings. If Chen Xiao had shown the slightest movement earlier, he would have been killed without a chance to bury himself.
“That can’t be right. Without a scepter and a helmet, it’s impossible to come here…”
The God of the Ocean murmured to itself. Suddenly, its floating divine essence emitted another burst of light, along with a strong summoning intent, seemingly trying to call for the helmet and scepter.
At that moment, those two items were in Chen Xiao’s primary divine space, tightly suppressed by its various laws. The God of the Ocean was merely a newly revived deity—how could it break through the barriers of the primary divine space to obtain such things? Even at its peak, it likely wouldn’t have the ability to do so.
Bang!

Suddenly, the blue giant cocoon burst open, and the body of the Sea God appeared in an instant. Yet now, he was not in his merman form but in a human shape—only his body was hundreds of times larger than that of a normal human. He was clad in the armor of the Sea God’s guardianship.

“If the armor is here, then the scepter and helmet must also be…” The Sea God frowned slightly. “Hmph, most of those who enter here are mere lower-level Void Gods… Hmph. How could such Void Gods understand the tactics of true gods?”

The Sea God smiled faintly, then opened his mouth and swallowed the blue divine essence floating above his head. At this moment, he was a true god—possessing a divine essence, a divine body, and powers that were truly divine. A dazzling blue light flashed across his body as he removed the Sea God’s guardianship armor. Then, with a single grab, he pulled out a black mass of light—the soul imprint of the previous black Void God.

The soul imprint writhed in his hand, seemingly trying to escape, but the Sea God’s divine power held it tightly, preventing any escape.

“Even if your true form escapes, as long as there’s a trace of your soul imprint, I can still bring you out, even if you’re in another dimension.”

A brilliant light surged in the Sea God’s hand as he pointed at the soul imprint. Instantly, the space around him began to tremble. A black hole, about human height, slowly appeared beside him. The Sea God reached into the hole with one hand and grabbed something, bringing out a twisted figure—the very black Void God who had fled earlier. Now, he writhed and struggled in the Sea God’s grasp, with no chance to resist.

“My helmet, my scepter.”

The Sea God stared coldly at the struggling black Void God and said coldly, “No, they’re not with me.”

Fear appeared in the eyes of the black Void God. As a lower-level Void God, he had no chance of resisting a true god.

“Hmm? Interesting. You even possess a divine artifact…” The Sea God grabbed the black blade, Death’s Dance, with one hand.

“It was forged by a Primordial Spirit God… though just a low-tier one…”

The Sea God frowned slightly.

“Damn it! I’ve been asleep for too long. My powers have stagnated, and even my divine essence has degenerated… No, it’s not degeneration—it’s that someone has drained the power from my divine essence! Now, I only possess the power of the lowest-tier true god?”

A look of shock flashed in the Sea God’s eyes. He had once been a high-ranking god, at least a high-tier Primordial Spirit God, but now he only had the power of a true god.

His eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had died tens of thousands of years ago, the power of his divine essence did not decline. Now that it had declined, it could only mean that the divine power within it had been forcibly stripped away by some extremely powerful being.
“Fortunately, I stored half of my divine power in my three primordial divine artifacts. As long as I retrieve them, I can regain half of my peak strength.”
The God of the Ocean sneered. With a single slap of his hand, he killed this black virtual god, devouring all of its virtual god laws.
“It’s really not here… Then how did it get in here…?” The God of the Ocean held Death Dance in his hand and frowned slightly.
“Atlantis… That’s my descendants I left on this planet. If it’s in their hands…”
The God of the Ocean then threw the Guardian of the Sea Gods into the air, and instantly, another portal opened.
“Hm?”
When this portal opened, Chen Xiao, who was hiding on the other side, was shocked. He could clearly sense that above those two sets of Sea God armor in the Main God Space, a faint blue glow was also emanating involuntarily.
In an instant, a portal appeared within the Main God Space. However, although it had formed, it faced great obstacles. If Chen Xiao didn’t wish it, the portal couldn’t truly open.
“So that’s how it is. You want to arrive at the artifacts through the connection between these three artifacts?”
Chen Xiao immediately understood. The God of the Ocean had tried to summon the other two artifacts using secret methods, but failed. So he tried another secret method to let him arrive directly at the location of the artifacts.
Before his death, this God of the Ocean had been extremely powerful. If he obtained the other two artifacts, he would immediately regain half of his peak strength. And half of that strength was beyond what the true master of Death Dance could compare to.
The God of the Ocean had great confidence in himself.
Chen Xiao also figured out what he was thinking in an instant and simply opened the Main God Space to let the God of the Ocean enter.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. Why was it that now he could sense everything in the Main God Space on his own, without Water Miao’s reminder?
But Chen Xiao didn’t overthink it. After the God of the Ocean entered the Main God Space, he flashed in and entered as well.
This time, as soon as Chen Xiao entered the Main God Space, he felt as though he had control over the entire space. He could freely use all its laws, including divine laws and even the laws of the Main God.
Moreover, his power here became infinite, as if he had truly become the Main God.
“How is this possible? Before, even though my power could increase greatly here, it could never reach this level!”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. Although he liked this powerful feeling, once he left, he would revert to being a weak, insignificant being.

Such a stark contrast was even hard for Chen Xiao to adapt to. It could even evoke a sense of despair, which was no good sign and would have a huge impact on his future path of cultivation. Just moments ago, he was a prehistoric T-Rex, but in the next instant, he turned into an ant—such a contrast could easily drive one to collapse. Chen Xiao took a slight breath, then turned and descended beside the God of the Ocean. By now, the God of the Ocean already had his two divine artifacts in hand. The Guardian of the Sea God was a set of armor, the Blessing of the Sea God was a helmet, and the Glory of the Sea God was a staff in his hand. Yet, at this moment, though he held these three divine artifacts, he hadn’t undergone any transformation, and the power he had infused earlier hadn’t returned to him. “God of the Ocean?” Chen Xiao’s body instantly appeared in front of him as he spoke with a smile.
