Monster in the Bermuda Deep Sea

Yun City, and the Main Star-Sucking Tree that pierced the clouds, its branches stretching for miles.

Now, it had stopped growing monsters.

Over two million Seventh and Eighth Order Star-Sucking Monsters protected the entire Main Star-Sucking Tree like an impenetrable fortress.

The Star-Sucking Monsters even crawled all over the trunk, making it impossible for a single insect to fly in.

The drained corpses of mutated creatures had already been completely devoured by these over two million Star-Sucking Monsters.

At the top of the tree.

An unimaginably huge black cocoon pulsed like a heart, seemingly incubating a terrifying monster within.

The ground of the entire Yun City was almost entirely composed of the Main Star-Sucking Tree's roots.

By absorbing the blood of tens of millions of mutated creatures for power, hundreds of thousands of black roots had burrowed into the planet's core, continuously drawing in its stellar energy.

As dusk approached.

Whoosh!!

From the distant sky, Gu Qijue arrived, treading on lightning.

Facing the twilight, he stood outside the range covered by the Main Star-Sucking Tree, his gaze falling upon the giant black cocoon at the tree's apex.

Roar! Grrr--

As Gu Qijue appeared, the Star-Sucking Monsters, whether on the tree or the ground, bared their fangs and roared at him menacingly.

Gu Qijue, with his white hair and Blood Eyes, dressed in a black suit, expressionlessly raised a hand.

Roar!!

Instantly, a Seventh Order Star-Sucking Monster from the tree was reeled in from afar by his power.

Then, a Black Dragon Soul coiled out from behind him with a roar, growing larger against the wind, opening its massive maw, and directly swallowing the Star-Sucking Monster before returning into Gu Qijue.

At the same time, a warm current surged through his body, akin to consuming a Star Fruit.

Gu Qijue had now advanced to the Seventh Order, having consumed ten thousand Star Fruits...

Even he found it unbelievable.

Those strange creatures definitely didn't require so many.

Gu Qijue suspected it was due to his personal circumstances.

After advancing to the Seventh Order, Gu Qijue gained a divine ability from his inherited memories—the Black Dragon Soul!!

Moreover, his strength had leaped several levels.

He now possessed the power to fight, and even kill, Eighth Order monsters or Super Martial Artists.

Gu Qijue did not linger there. He pierced through the clouds and broke through the void, arriving above Mu Qingxue's shelter.

He saw that Ye Zhanguo and the others had already dispatched ten Super Martial Artist teams to begin transforming the shelter into fertile land and other facilities.

The Super Martial Artist teams in Yun City consisted of ten people per team, led by an Emperor Tier Super Martial Artist.

Outside the perimeter wall, Fourth Order Star-Sucking Monsters still lingered, prowling and watching covetously.

Gu Qijue also saw Ji Shang speaking words of comfort to a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen, who looked about his age and seemed very sad.

"Chu Yue, it's not that our boss is cruel. Your Dad and sister were just too reckless. I could only save you and your mother from our boss..."

Ji Shang sighed helplessly as he looked at her sorrowful expression.

"Ji Shang..."

Chu Yue suddenly looked at him very seriously.

"What is it?" Ji Shang hesitated, seeing her gaze.

"Can you... help me kill... him?" Chu Yue gritted her jade lips, her eyes teary as she looked at him.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Ji Shang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chu Yue gritted her silver teeth and said, "If you can kill him for me, I... I'll do whatever you want... You're so close to him, you must be able to do it..."

Don't call her foolish.

Her father and sister had both indirectly died at Gu Qijue's hands.

Although they were the ones who had acted first.

But as family, would one differentiate between right and wrong?

When one's closest kin are killed, who could remain without any hatred?

"Alas! What a pity, why must you have such thoughts?"

Ji Shang sighed, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes, and said:

"Chu Yue, I know you only pitied me before and didn't like me at all, but I still risked being reprimanded by the boss to save you and your mother."

"It's a pity you ultimately can't let go of this hatred. Although you don't have the ability to exact revenge, but... if you dare to tell me your hatred, I cannot let you go."

Ji Shang finished speaking, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Chu Yue by the neck, shaking his head as he said, "I'm sorry!!"

Crack--

Under Chu Yue's desperate and resentful gaze, Ji Shang decisively crushed her neck.

Super Martial Artists, even without their Super Martial Armor manifested, possess physical strength far beyond ordinary people.

After killing Chu Yue, Ji Shang had someone dispose of her body and then headed straight for Chu Yue's mother.

Gu Qijue watched Ji Shang's decisiveness and nodded in satisfaction. If Ji Shang hadn't acted, Gu Qijue would have.

The reason Gu Qijue came here was to see if Ji Shang was just a lapdog.

It seemed he wasn't.

"It's time to go to Lingjiang City. Should I kill Mu Yuxin or not? Xiao Yao, did it leave me and merge into the mutation tree the first time I approached it, causing the mutation tree to become this Star Tree several years ahead of schedule..."

Gu Qijue muttered to himself, ascending into the air as he departed.

Xiao Yao's words could not be fully believed, but they could not be entirely dismissed either.

Gu Qijue had already guessed some things.

Xiao Yao was definitely not on him anymore.

The most likely possibility was that it was inside that Star Tree.

Killing Mu Yuxin was simple, but Gu Qijue would always leave himself a fallback.

Bermuda Sea Area.

This place had already turned into a black sea.

Furious waves surged, striking high into the sky.

A colossal turtle was rumbling as it dove into the deep waters of the Bermuda Sea Area.

Soon, all light disappeared. The Great Turtle, in the darkness, rapidly descended with its objective in sight.

It was unknown how long or how deep it had dived.

The Great Turtle stopped above a sea canyon that seemed to pierce through the Star Blue Continent.

"Three seniors, the Star Blue Continent is in grave danger... I implore you to act."

The Great Turtle transformed into a half-man, half-turtle form and bowed towards the abyss-like canyon below, recounting the events truthfully.

After a long, long time, a rumbling voice echoed from below: "Little turtle, it would be good if this matter is true. If we act, and you have divined incorrectly, and that tree has no relation to the Black Dragon Emperor, you will die!"

The terrifying voice was immensely grand, shaking the waves for days and reverberating throughout the entire Great Triangle Sea Area.

"I'll stake my life on it..." the old turtle said earnestly.

The grand voice echoed faintly, "In that case, we'll trust you this once. We will ascend to the land in half a month!"

"Half a month?" the old turtle hesitated.

"We are at a critical juncture of breakthrough, which requires at least half a month, or even a month. This is not a place you can linger!"

Rumble--

As the grand voice resonated, a massive waterspout enveloped the old turtle, sending it directly out of the area.

In an instant, the old turtle was returned to the sea surface.

"Damn it, for this planet, I've really gone through hell."

Upon surfacing, the old turtle cursed under its breath before leaving.
