Taboo Power That Even Gods Feared

Time passed second by second, and every second was torture for the Sea Emperor.

The Wu Clan's Treasure Vault had long been ransacked; apart from the bottle of Black Potion, he found nothing else that could give Gu Ding and the others a chance to escape. He re-simulated the situation thousands of times, and each simulation ended with the deaths of Gu Ding and the other two, without exception.

"Sea Emperor ..." Gu Ding looked down at the time displayed on his wristwatch, "It's already noon."

Although reluctant, the Sea Emperor knew this was the only way. He took the bottle of Black Potion out of his Storage Space. The invisible, colorless sealing energy around the bottle gradually dissipated as he unlocked it.

Gu Ding picked up the potion, took a deep breath, uncorked the bottle, and poured the Black Potion into his mouth.

In the few seconds it took for the Black Potion to be poured down his throat, Gu Ding didn't feel anything unusual. But when the potion entered his stomach, Gu Ding felt as if a bomb had been planted inside him. The frenzied energy surge caused Gu Ding to go into a brief state of shock.

His mind seemed to go blank for a few seconds. In those few seconds when Gu Ding was on the verge of death, the Sea Emperor discovered that the virus in Gu Ding's body had reappeared and was frantically devouring the forbidden power.

The first thing Gu Ding felt upon regaining consciousness was excruciating pain; every cell in his body seemed to be screaming in agony. Aside from the pain, Gu Ding felt nothing else. He clung to his consciousness, refusing to lose consciousness, because he suspected that if he didn't make it, he might never wake up again.

Gu Ding didn't know how long he endured it; under that kind of pain, a second felt more unbearable than ten thousand years.

Under the Sea Emperor's observation, the virus in Gu Ding's body took nearly half an hour to be devoured before the forbidden energy completely disappeared, and Gu Ding's pain only completely subsided at this point.

The Sea Emperor silently observed the changes within Gu Ding's body. Soon, he also noticed a change in one of Gu Ding's Gene Chain. That thin Gene Chain rapidly turned black, and then, like ink on a white canvas, it began to quickly seep into nearby Gene Chain and spread outwards.

Seeing the terrifying speed of the staining and its seemingly unstoppable momentum, the Sea Emperor became somewhat worried. In just a few seconds, two-thirds of the two complete double Spiral Gene Chain in Gu Ding's body had been stained black, but the black staining continued without slowing down.

"What exactly happened?" The Sea Emperor's database contained no records of Taboo Power; after all, his current access was limited, and there were certain special documents he couldn't access. Seeing the changes within Gu Ding's body, he became slightly anxious.

Gu Ding lay on the ground, unable to move. He felt as if his body no longer belonged to him after the pain he had just experienced. He couldn't even control his blinking, let alone speak.

The inky staining only ended when the entire gene chain turned completely black, and the Sea Emperor also noticed that this black gene chain was very different from the original Gu Ding gene chain.

Only at this moment did Gu Ding regain control of his body.

"Sea Emperor, please check my body data."

The Sea Emperor immediately retrieved and projected Gu Ding's latest body data:

Cell Comprehensive Index: 300

[Mental Strength Index: 8]

[Combat Talent: B+]

Comprehension Ability: A

Seeing this newly acquired ability, Gu Ding was utterly stunned. This was an ability that even gods would fear. If a god's energy were sealed by him, they would be no different from an ordinary person, and could even be killed by an ordinary person. Moreover, what was most terrifying was its potential for evolution. If the sealing time were increased, or the intervals shortened, it was even possible for a single-target seal to evolve into a wide-area seal.

Sea Emperor was also somewhat surprised by Gu Ding's ability. As Super Intelligence life form, he knew very well how terrifying it was to seal any life form indiscriminately. This meant that Gu Ding could not only seal gods, but also unconventional super life forms like himself and the heavens.

"It seems we're saved!" A new plan immediately came to Gu Ding's mind.

"As long as Oderman is sealed, Bigge is fully capable of holding off the others." The Sea Emperor's biggest concern has finally been resolved. "Besides Oderman, there is only one Tenth-Order Gene Body and two Ninth-Order Gene Body in this witch clan, but in the cursed state, their combat power is less than half of their normal state."

"What I'm worried about now is whether Bigge can do it..." Gu Ding knew that Bigge was the key figure in this escape plan. "You should also know this. He can't fight humans at all. He has psychological issues."

"If he doesn't fight, and just wants to help you escape, he should be able to do that, right?" The Sea Emperor only remembered this matter when Gu Ding mentioned it. He had also heard Bigge and Gu Ding talking about it before.

"I don't know..." Gu Ding didn't know how serious Bigge's mental block was, but he was very clear that Bigge was the key to whether the three of them could escape successfully this time.

"Let me talk to him," Sea Emperor suggested after a moment of silence.
