Secret Realm Anomaly!

The first level of "Myriad Incarnations" allowed one to cultivate three incarnations!

In terms of difficulty, it was considerably harder than the first level of "Myriad Lines Flow."

But after stepping over the threshold of the Origin Laws of Space, "Myriad Incarnations" was no longer so difficult for Gu Ce, who possessed the Analysis Innate Secret Art.

Gu Ce took a deep breath, his speed erupting once more as he arrived behind the Desert Sea Octopus.

Time to strike!

Including the three incarnations he had split off, four Gu Ces attacked the Desert Sea Octopus at once, confusing its judgment!

"Splash!"

The Desert Sea Octopus erupted with its full strength, all eight tentacles lashing toward the four Gu Ces in an attempt to stop their attack.

"Smack!"

The three incarnations turned into fading phantoms under the Desert Sea Octopus's attack.

Meanwhile, Gu Ce, hidden among the incarnations, also unleashed his full power.

The second move of the "Cloud Sea Sword Technique"!

Gu Ce's gaze was icy. He had comprehended nearly one-third of the first layer of Law Secret Patterns on the Cloud Sea Dragon Hunter, no less than Luo Feng's mastery of the first layer of the Yan Shen Bing. He could already unleash a trace of the Cloud Sea Sword's might!

"BOOM!!!"

This sword strike carried tremendous momentum.

Though it was still only the prototype of a sword move, its power was already no weaker than the "Ice Seal" sword move he had yet to master.

Once it was perfected, it would surely become Gu Ce's strongest killing move!

The seawater was cleaved in two by this strike, as though a brief vacuum had appeared. Everywhere the Cloud Sea Sword passed became nothingness.

"Crash!"

Seawater surged back in, crashing against itself and forming wave after wave of massive swells.

There were no signs of life left in the surrounding waters apart from Gu Ce himself.

Seeing the Desert Sea Octopus's body split into two halves, Gu Ce nodded in satisfaction.

By combining his insights into the Laws of Water and the Origin Laws of Space, Gu Ce had created this prototype sword move.

Though it was still unstable, its power was already impressive!

Perhaps this sword strike could be called "Sea Split"?

Gu Ce thought.

When he approached the Desert Sea Octopus, Gu Ce was surprised to find that it had not completely died yet.

What tenacious vitality, Gu Ce remarked to himself.

"Countless years ago, before the Ku Hai Secret Realm was discovered, there was once a World Lord Level Desert Sea Octopus that inflicted enormous losses on the staff of Universe First Bank. It seemed that an Immortal being had ultimately been dispatched to take it down," Rimuru said.

No wonder.

Gu Ce nodded in understanding, then finished off the Desert Sea Octopus.

He removed large chunks of white, semi-transparent gelatinous matter from the Desert Sea Octopus's body and stored them in his World Ring. Then he took out his spacecraft and entered it.

"Rimuru, can you measure my current physical condition?" Gu Ce asked.

Rimuru quickly replied, "Master, your current physical condition is already close to that of some second- and third-stage Universe Levels. If you continue using Sea Beast Gel, the effects will likely no longer be significant."

Sea Beast Gel could at most raise a Stellar Level warrior's physical condition to a level comparable to the Universe Level.

Gu Ce's Gene Level was five times that of an ordinary human. After using Sea Beast Gel, he gained greater improvements, but that was the limit.

"Today is only the tenth day since I entered this place," Gu Ce sighed.

In just ten short days, his mission in the Ku Hai Secret Realm was practically complete.

Training?

Even a third-stage Universe Level Desert Sea Octopus was no match for him. Finding a stronger sea beast would not be so easy.

Over the past few days, he had also bought some Ku Hai Water Droplets through Universe First Bank to try them out. The results had not been significant, and they were not much help—his own comprehension was faster.

"Master, you can continue using the E-grade Nutrient Pod to strengthen your body. When the Sky Sea sinks and the seawater shifts, you can come out again and try comprehending the Law of Water," Rimuru suggested.

That was the only option.

Gu Ce nodded.

The spacecraft stopped deep within the Sky Sea, and Gu Ce lay down inside the Nutrient Pod.

Time passed.

By now, more than a month had passed since they first entered the secret realm.

Xie Peng and the others were still entangled with that group of Cloud Sharks.

"Everyone, it seems that relying on ourselves alone, it will be difficult to snatch that Ku Hai Crystal Source from the Cloud Shark pack," Xifo Wei said helplessly.

Over the past month, the five of them had made multiple attempts. Every time, before they could even get close to that Great Cloud Shark, they were forced back by other Planetary Level and Stellar Level Cloud Sharks. If they had not fled in time, they would likely have been torn to pieces.

Among the five, the strongest was undoubtedly Diamant, a ninth-stage Stellar Level warrior who had mastered a domain.

The weakest was Xie Peng, at the second stage of the Stellar Level.

The other three were all between the fifth and eighth stages of the Stellar Level.

But with strength like theirs, against those hundreds of Cloud Sharks, they were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

"Everyone, if this keeps up, I'll have to leave first." Diamant rose to his feet with his spear on his back, preparing to take his leave.

"Brother, you..." Xie Peng was about to speak when Xifo Wei stopped him.

"Let him go." Xifo Wei shook his head. He, too, was planning to give up.

As Xifo Wei piloted the spaceship and prepared to find a safe place to stop, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Wait, have you noticed that the seawater around us seems to be... receding?" Gu Shan, whose senses were the sharpest, said.

Gu Shan was not the only one who sensed something amiss.

The surrounding sea beasts and the Cloud Shark pack also began to grow restless.

"The seawater is sinking? Doesn't that only happen when the Sky Sea turns into the Underground Sea?" Mu Yuanli exclaimed. "Shouldn't the Sky Sea take at least another four months to sink?"

When they had entered the Ku Hai Secret Realm, the Underground Sea had only transformed into the Sky Sea a few days earlier.

Even after subtracting the more than a month they had spent tangled up with the Cloud Sharks, there should still have been at least four months left.

Diamant frowned deeply and looked outside the spaceship.

The Cloud Shark pack near the spaceship had already descended into chaos, even attacking one another. The seawater had been dyed red with blood.

The largest of them, that Universe Level Cloud Shark, rampaged through the pack on the strength of its power, carving out a bloody path. In the end, it charged straight toward the spaceship, seemingly treating it as the cause of the abnormal change.

"Bang!"

The spaceship shook slightly.

Xifo Wei's face, however, was filled with terror.

This was a C9-Grade Spaceship!

Even a ninth-stage Universe Level warrior could not break through its defenses, yet it had been shaken by a single Cloud Shark?

"It... it seems to be absorbing the power of the Ku Hai Crystal Source?" Mu Yuanli said in disbelief.

One had to know that sea beasts could not use the Ku Hai Crystal Source!

Otherwise, who knew how many Domain Lord Level sea beasts would have appeared in the Ku Hai Secret Realm? It would never have become a training ground for Stellar Level warriors.

The Ku Hai Crystal Source was precious to them, but to sea beasts, it was nothing rare. Some would appear every half year.

"A domain!" Xie Peng cried out.

As the Ku Hai Crystal Source gradually merged into the Cloud Shark's body, it opened its bloody maw and rammed toward the spaceship. It had actually unleashed the Water Domain!

"We need to call for help immediately!"

Xifo Wei no longer hesitated and sent out a distress signal directly through the Virtual Universe.

The Universe Level Cloud Shark's aura continued to grow stronger. After realizing it could not do anything to the spaceship, it turned back to Devour the other Cloud Sharks, allowing everyone inside the spaceship to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is happening here?!" Xie Peng was on the verge of breaking down, almost crying.

Diamant's expression shifted unpredictably as he seemed to be thinking about something.

The seawater outside churned continuously, and the spaceship drifted with the current.

The spaceship kept sinking along with the seawater, and it was about to leave the Sky Sea's boundaries.

Xifo Wei tried to control the spaceship and get it moving, only to discover that its propulsion system had somehow been damaged.

A spatial rift appeared out of thin air beneath the spaceship, but no one aboard noticed it.
