King of the South Sea, Tarosse
A figure appeared beside Luo Feng; it was an eerie young man with long green hair.
Luo Feng was surprised to see a figure appear behind him without warning. To appear behind him without him noticing was definitely not a Saint Domain expert; this person was at least much stronger than him.
As if realizing something, Luo Feng turned his head and, sure enough, the entrance passage to the fourth floor appeared in Luo Feng sight. Since the entrance passage to the fourth floor had appeared, it could only mean that the Ba-Serpent had left and that there was someone behind him. That was all.
"Lord Tarosse, hello." Luo Feng said with a faint smile to the strange young man with long green hair. Luo Feng knew Tarosse's strength, because he was determined to take the opportunity to fly into the fourth level. In front of Deity level expert, his own strength was completely inadequate.
"Oh, little one, you know me?" Tarosse's voice carried a hint of allure and a touch of masculinity, two different feelings that blended together harmoniously, drawing one in without them even realizing it.
"The King of the South Sea, Lord Tarosse, I have naturally heard of that name. He is an extremely powerful figure from the same era as the High Priest." Luo Feng didn't really know him; he had only heard about Tarosse's background in the original work.
"Haha, I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, there would still be a little guy who remembers my name, King Tarosse of the South Sea. Just for that, I'll give you some leeway when you go over there later." Tarosse winked at Luo Feng playfully.
"Little guy, you're pretty good. I heard your name is Luo Feng, right? You have great talent. You even managed to comprehend the Water Law while watching me sleep. You have a bright future." As he spoke, he ruffled Luo Feng's hair twice. Luo Feng tried to dodge but found that he couldn't move.
Knowing this was the God's Domain, Luo Feng resigned himself to his fate and let him rub it; there was no harm in it anyway.
"Lord Tarosse, what's wrong? Weren't you sleeping?" Luo Feng asked curiously. According to Beirut's words in the original story, the Ba-Serpent was a heavy sleeper, and he hadn't disturbed it, so why had it suddenly woken up?
Tarosse glanced at Luo Feng with annoyance. "Are you trying to say that Ba-Serpent is sleepy? Do you think a Deity level Deity level needs to sleep? Even if they do sleep, wouldn't their divine sense still be present? Have you ever seen Deity level expert drunk?"
Luo Feng thought about it carefully, "It really is true. To still need to sleep after reaching the Deity level? That does make a bit of a stretch. But Ba-Serpent's fondness for sleep means that sleeping is his hobby, not that he necessarily needs to sleep every single moment."
"Do you understand now, little guy? Since I'm in a good mood, what do you want to ask?" Ba-Serpent said with a smile.
Upon hearing Ba-Serpent's words, Luo Feng asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time, a question that many Coiling Dragon fans probably also wanted answered, "Lord Ba-Serpent, ten thousand years ago you were the king of the South Sea, why were you in the Necropolis of the Gods? And why did you serve as Necropolis of the Gods manager? You know, the Necropolis of the Gods can be said to be a cage that imprisoned your freedom?"
Tarosse laughed heartily upon hearing Luo Feng's words, "Who said I was imprisoned in the Necropolis of the Gods? Let me tell you the truth, when I first broke through to the Deity level, I was arrogant and overbearing. With my Innate Divine Ability, even the High Priest was no match for me. At that time, I felt lonely. In the entire Yulan Continent, apart from the Plane Guardian, there were only three Deity level powerhouses. The High Priest has already been defeated by me, so I had no choice but to find another Deity level powerhouse."
Luo Feng's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he heard Tarosse's words. She actually dared to challenge Beirut? And Lowgod? Still wanting to know what happened next, Luo Feng asked, "And then?"
Tarosse gathered her thoughts. "And then? In Beirut's hands, I didn't even have a chance to resist. That's when I realized how terrifying Lord Beirut's power was. Then I was imprisoned by Lord Beirut. I thought Lord Beirut would throw me into the Gebados Plane, but he didn't. He just imprisoned me in his Metal Castle. Afterward, Lord Beirut gave me a chance. He said that if I stayed in the Necropolis of the Gods for the required number of years, he would set me free and give me a Highgod divine artifact. I agreed, and then I became the manager of the first eleven levels of the Necropolis of the Gods."
At this moment, Luo Feng finally unraveled the mystery of Tarosse. He now understood why Tarosse had been placed in the Necropolis of the Gods and then released, and why the other creatures in the graveyard could not leave.
At this moment, Tarosse snapped out of her thoughts, looked at Luo Feng, and laughed, "You're not bad, kid. You've actually managed to comprehend a relatively high-level Element of Ice within the Water Law. Even I, Tarosse, despite being a water-attribute divine beast, spent decades comprehending the Mysteries of Ice."
"It was just luck. If it weren't for Lady Tarosse, I don't know how many more years it would have taken me to comprehend the Water Law," Luo Feng said sincerely.
"Haha, you're not bad, kid. Alright, I'm going to sleep now. We've talked enough. So, are you going to go for it or not?" Tarosse didn't seem to care about Luo Feng's feelings and said to him with a Luo Feng.
"Lord Tarosse, please handle this officially. What do I need to do to get me up there?" Luo Feng said seriously.
"It's simple. You stay here, and I'll use ice to block your way into the entrance to the fourth floor. As long as you get in, that's fine. Don't worry, I'll let some water in," Tarosse said.
Luo Feng nodded, his Battle-qi surging as he adjusted himself to his peak state. He took a deep breath and then rushed towards the entrance passage ahead like Lightning. Just as Luo Feng was wondering why he had entered the fourth level so easily, ice blocks behind him shot towards him at the speed of light. With no other choice, Luo Feng had to change direction and sidestep Tarosse's attack.
It wasn't that simple after all. Tarosse simply waved her hand, and the water vapor in the sky condensed into ice blocks, which flew towards her. Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Luo Feng to get up safely.
However, Luo Feng couldn't care less about anything else. In this final moment, he was willing to fight to the death. Luo Feng tightened his hands around his gossamer-thin gloves and looked up at the entrance high in the sky. At this moment, Luo Feng was only a few thousand meters away from the entrance to the fourth level. In the past, Luo Erfen could cross this distance in the blink of an eye.
"Whoosh!" Luo Feng shot towards the entrance of the fourth floor at lightning speed.
The lazy Ba-Serpent didn't care at all, seemingly knowing that Luo Feng had no chance of entering the fourth level under its attack. With another casual wave of its hand, countless ice blocks carrying endless divine power were sent flying towards Luo Feng.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Feng dodged most of the ice blocks with incredible speed, only to see a pure white light aimed directly at his head. Luo Feng Luo Feng felt a tremor in his heart. Without a doubt... if he were hit by this blue light, he would surely die. At the last moment, Luo Feng gritted his teeth, his Battle-qi surging, and caught the ice block.
"Clang!" Luo Feng moved like Lightning, using the impact of the ice block to rush into the entrance of the fourth level.
"Huh?" Ba-Serpent looked up in surprise and murmured, "I didn't expect this little guy to give me so many surprises? He even has a Highgod Artifact."
