759 Ocean Emperor (1/2)

The seemingly plain but actually highly corrosive black liquids were gradually enshrouded by redness. No matter how the Dark Jellyfish performed his naturally-endowed talents and abilities, it was impossible for him to break out of the magic circles that could transform anyone into the status of primeval devils because of the corrosion of the eight magic circles of blood sacrifice.

At this moment, Harex, who was holding the gold trident, uttered the intricate, unpredictable words in a language that was different from the languages that Lucien knew. The water seemed to be surging out of the void around.

Centered at the Blue Key, which appeared like a gem, the gold trident emitted a brilliant blue light. At every pointy end, an illusionary swirl that was so blue that it was almost black protruded and spun, raising a flow of brightness that was like seawater.

Like the saltwater intrusion, the light flowed back to the magic circle, nullifying the natural-born talents of Dark Jellyfish Tyers. The black liquids that corroded the magic circle stopped wriggling.

”Water's Tolerance!” How could Tyers not recognize Harex's famous quasi-magic ability? He was both shocked and infuriated, but it was impossible for him to escape from the range of the effect because of the many magic circles. He could only try to resist it.

”Water's Tolerance…” Lucien wrote down the ability of the emperor of the sea clans that the Congress of Magic always wanted to duplicate but never succeeded. It could neutralize, nullify, and melt most supernatural powers, and it could tell friends from foes. It was a supernatural power that was as good as ”Advanced Time Stop”, ”Luxury Cracking”, ”Paradise of Stars”, and other special legendary spells.

Only by becoming the emperor of the sea clans and controlling the trident, ”Emperor's Grasp”, could they perform the complete version of ”Water's Tolerance” by activating the power of the Blue Key on it. The core of the Emperor's Grasp was crafted with the legendary material, ”Blue Key”.

The watery light cleansed everything, rendering Tyers' resistance useless. His blue liquids had turned red. Unable to escape, he found it impossible to suppress the desperation, pain, and anger in his heart.

His status had subtle reverberations with the negative feelings around that were almost concrete. Therefore, he was no longer as transparent and fluid as a bag that was full of water. Instead, deep black and red were added to the thickness, devastating anyone who saw it.

Lucien carefully recorded every tiny change and all the functions of all the weird runes. Although he had experienced a similar status transformation before, he had been through it as a recipient. He knew what happened to him very well, but he lacked the overall knowledge and did not know the changes in the outside world. He did not know the specific function of magic circles either. Therefore, Harex's transformation of the Dark Jellyfish gave Lucien a chance to complete his files. It was a rare ”real experiment”.

At this moment, seeing that the Dark Jellyfish already lost the ability to resist, Harex suddenly turned around and uttered a word that sounded like waves slapping the shoreline. His crimson and cold eyes immediately filled Lucien's horizon.

”Crap. I've been caught!” The projection of the Host Star of Destiny inside Lucien's soul immediately sensed something.

The blue brightness on the gold trident in Harex's hands immediately turned dark. The swirls on every pointy end were even more intense, and the same swirls were appearing in the void around Lucien. They revolved so fast that they seemed to be absorbing everything.

Hualala.

The seawater outside of the hollow, which was affected by the swirls, surged in and filled the swirls, making them concrete all of a sudden. Lucien's body and soul were torn.

”Death Swirl…” The elven queen and Harex had fought many times. As her ally, the Congress of Magic certainly had abundant files about the Master of the Boundless Ocean. Therefore, Lord of Mysteries recognized that it was one of Harex's five most powerful abilities. It might not be as weird and unique as ”Water's Tolerance”, but it was much more explosive and ferocious.

Torn by the illusionary and solid swirls, Lucien, who had removed the special status of ”Underground Master”, sensed the horror of the top legends again. Also, Harex was apparently not as heavily wounded as what Doris and the sea elves thought. His control over the environment was much stronger than what Lucien had expected!

A delicate silver pocket watch appeared in Lucien's right hand, and the second hand on it was ticking. It was filled with the feeling of the eternal flow of time.

Crack.

Lucien pressed his right hand, and the deep blueness around him faded into devastating grayness. The rapidly-revolving swirls came to an abrupt halt. Frozen around Lucien densely, they were like special embossments.

After being improved with the Time Plate, Lucien's Moon Timer had reached level three of legendary. Also, since it was a unique legendary item that was closely connected to his own cognitive world, the effect of the Moon Timer was close to the peak of legendary!

In the frozen time and space, Lucien stepped back and blinked away from the Death Swirl. In the meantime, he extended his left hand and let out a spell that sounded like a raging wind.

”Storm Barrier!”

This time, there was no tornado, no storm, no heat, and no freezing coldness, but only a vacuum, where electric arcs were bouncing.

The bolts of lightning struck the pillars in the palace, collapsing them all of a sudden and surrounding Harex who was affected by Time Stop on the altar.

However, it was not Lucien's purpose to trap Harex with the Storm Barrier. He was only trying to create a vacuum. The intense air of destruction suddenly spread out of his extended left hand.
