Trouble Has Arrived

Although Du Kao is only Third Sequence Heavenly God, his memories from his previous life, which were powerful beings who surpassed the God-rank, are still quite terrifying, even if only a portion of them have been awakened.

Lord-level powerhouses, even in the Main Plane, would be considered formidable figures. Even disregarding cultivation levels, powerful Lord-level beings have lived for an exceptionally long time. Barring accidental deaths, their lifespans could easily reach thousands of epochs, a hundred times that of gods. And time brings far more than just simple memories.

With the experience of Lord-level, any one of the techniques and secrets in his memory would be enough to make Main God Level expert fight tooth and nail for it, let alone a celestial god. This is a powerful advantage that others can hardly match.

Moreover, possessing memories of past lives makes cultivation and rebuilding the family practically the same, making it much easier than for ordinary people. As for fighting beyond one's level, with the knowledge of Lord-level, it's not difficult for them either.

Despite his formidable strength, Moffitt couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by such an opponent. Now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Du Kao dragged his long sword with one hand, his body suddenly accelerating, the blade carving a long black crack in the void. Before even launching an attack, the long sword had already torn through space, demonstrating the domineering nature of his move.

His figure arrived in front of Moffitt in an instant, raising his sword. Wherever the blade passed, the space collapsed. Azure sword light poured down on Moffitt like a waterfall.

Moffitt was unarmed and could only raise his arms to block, but at the same time, he was forced back. He knew very well that in Du Kao's current state, he wouldn't gain anything by fighting him head-on.

"Boom!"

The azure torrent instantly engulfed Moffitt, but moments later, a Crimson Shadow burst forth from within it. The Crimson Shadow was shot backward, looking rather disheveled. It was none other than Moffitt, who had been swallowed up earlier.

Moffitt looked down at his arms and saw that visible cracks had appeared. Although the cracks were rapidly repairing themselves, he knew from just one exchange that Du Kao was now capable of injuring him.

"You humans have a saying, 'A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.' I'm no match for you now, but once I'm back to my peak Combat Strength, I'll definitely get my revenge." After saying this, Moffitt's body split into countless Mars, scattering in all directions.

Du Kao hadn't expected Moffitt to escape like this. He swung his longsword, extinguishing most of the Mars, but a few still disappeared on their own.

"Hmph, you got away fast!" Du Kao said in a deep voice. He then looked in the direction Boyi had fled, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave chase.

On the other side, Gu Ding, guided by the Sea Emperor, finally caught up with Liliath and her group and boarded the spaceship.

"You've finally decided to come back!" Liliath said, her tone teasing. "So, you really managed to get that guy out of jail?"

"They've been released." Gu Ding nodded.

"Is it a person or some other monster?" Liliath asked curiously.

"Regarding the guy Belanger wanted to release, there's a rumor in our family that he went mad four eras ago, slaughtering members of his clan. He was then imprisoned. He was a powerful ancestor of our family, a madman, mentally unstable," Hake chimed in. "I wonder if you, Captain, saw what that released guy looked like?"

"It was a Lava Humanoid, said to have descended upon this plane seven eras ago, causing widespread slaughter. The legend you've heard is false, a cover-up to prevent people from knowing the location of this being's seal, lest it be broken by someone with ill intentions. But that guy, Belanger, thought he could release your family's ancestor and gain benefits from him, but he was killed by that magma creature instead." Gu Ding's words completely dispelled the Black Hell rumors that had been circulating within the Dees Family.

"Belanger is dead?!" Hake seemed surprised upon hearing the news. "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, I escaped beforehand when that magma creature confronted your Dees Family elder. Shortly after I escaped, Belanger was killed; the Sea Emperor told me." Gu Ding said, and the Sea Emperor also pulled up the projected recording.

Watching Belanger fall to his death on the spot without any resistance, the whole process taking only a few seconds, the members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew felt a chill run down their spines.

"Is this... the power of a god?"

Liliath was the one who felt it most deeply. She had used her Pupil Technique on Belanger, but because Belanger's cultivation was too strong, she suffered a backlash. She knew that Belanger's strength was far beyond what she and her group could match. Seeing Belanger perish so easily, it wasn't hard to imagine how powerful that magma creature was.

"This guy is considered quite strong among the gods. At his peak, probably few gods could rival him. Even after being imprisoned for seven eras, his Combat Strength remained at the level of Advanced Sequence god. Belanger himself was actually very strong; he could even fight against Elementary Sequence god. But unfortunately, the opponent he encountered this time was too strong, so he was killed without any chance of resistance." The Sea Emperor's explanation reassured everyone somewhat. If Elementary Sequence gods possessed such terrifying strength, it meant that if anyone encountered any god from the Dees Family, they would have no chance of escape.

"Advanced Sequence Celestial... I estimate only the Fourth Elder can somewhat stop him. With such a powerful being released, the Dees Family will likely suffer a major blow this time." Hake frowned slightly. Although he didn't have much affection for his own family, the Dees Family was still the family that had raised him, and he couldn't help but be moved by the news.

"Don't worry about that. Your family's Fourth Elder is not as simple as you think. He had the upper hand in his battle with that magma creature just now. The magma creature saw that things were not going well and fled, and it probably won't reappear for a while." The information given by the Sea Emperor was fresh off the press, and it had only just happened after Gu Ding returned to the spaceship, so even Gu Ding was unaware that the battle had taken such a turn for the better.

"The Fourth Elder is so strong?! Could it be that he has made another breakthrough during this seclusion?" Although Hake knew that the Fourth Elder was the strongest in the family, he had only heard that he had fought against high-ranking gods before. Now, the information brought by the Sea Emperor clearly shows that the Fourth Elder's true Combat Strength is stronger than everyone imagined.

Just as the Sea Emperor was about to reveal the reason for the Fourth Elder's sudden increase in strength, he suddenly changed his tone and shouted in a deep voice, "Damn it, big trouble is coming our way..." (To be continued~^~)
