Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 501 A Bonfire Dinner Before Parting
A look of doubt flashed in Chen Qi's eyes:

"A new Tier 6 class card?"

The Ice Witch smiled slightly:
"Yes, the Lord of the Embers also has a special form."

In this land, I have seen four special sixth-tier professions: the Sea God, the Lantern Apostle, the Witch, and the Deep Sea Giant.

"Abyssal Titan?"

The Ice Witch replied:
"This is an extremely special and ancient profession, which originated in the deepest part of the ocean."

The Ice Witch gently stroked the numerous collectibles on the table.

Twelve blood-touched eyes, the whisperer's claws, eyes behind, the weeping frog...

For the sake of the war, Whale Father gave a large amount of treasure to the Blackblood Empire.

Those treasures that remain here are the most exquisite deep-sea treasures!

The Ice Witch continued:

"The ritual of this profession is to rule the sea, to make the people of the sea feel fear and worship, and the job is to absorb the fear of believers."

"To create a class card for the Deep Sea Giant, you need a large number of Deep Sea Treasures, and preferably also treasures from the Edge God..."

"This is the sixth-tier profession that Whale Father is preparing to advance to."

"Deep Sea Giant..." Chen Qi stroked his chin.

That sounds like a good career.

The Ice Witch said:

"Of course, the brand-new class card I made for you is not the Deep Sea Giant, but the Lord of the Deep Sea Embers!"

"This is a special form of the Lord of Ember, and the materials here are quite complete."

The Ice Witch lightly tapped the numerous treasures on the table with her fingers, then gently swept them across the class cards:

"With a broken card as a base, it only takes five hours to complete!"

It can be completed in five hours!

Chen Qi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water.

I never expected it to be so simple to repair the Lord of Ember class card.

The Ice Witch continued:

"However, before digesting the professional card, one must first cleanse one's body."

At the same time, we need to dispel the black fog, which is quite simple.

All we need is the extraordinary item for the lamp, and then we can create a bonfire that can light up the sea!

A bonfire lit by the sea? An exclaimed in surprise:
“We really were able to collect so much material.”

Chen Qi said with a smile:

“The Whale Father’s warehouse should contain a lot of materials to dispel the black mist…”

Although the father whale was a follower of the great whale, he was not loyal.

They must have prepared materials to fight the giant whale.

Chen Qi clapped his hands.

In other words, he now has two goals.

First, reenact the ritual to cleanse one's body and soul.

Second, find a way to dispel the pollution from the giant whale and purify the Witch Sea, which is polluted by the black fog.

"Azrina, come help me make cards."

"That's what the Ice Witch said."

How can I steal the Tier 6 class card without getting attacked? Aslina's thoughts were interrupted, and she asked:

"Can I, Your Majesty, refuse?"

"cannot……"

The Ice Witch's cold gaze gently fell on Aslina's face.

"hateful."

Aslina protested verbally, but her body betrayed her and she went to the Ice Witch's side.

Chen Qi walked to the table and searched around.

He quickly discovered the ritual by which the Whale Father gathered spiritual power:

"Then Fen and I will go prepare for the ceremony."

"I'll contact the White Tower Hunter and Palu, and we'll go search the ruins together to see if there are any items to fight the Great Whale."

An said.

After assigning tasks, everyone began their respective actions.

……

……

The sea breeze, carrying the black mist, gradually blew by.

With the threat of the giant whale gone, the group made quite a lot of progress.

The Misty Sea was destroyed by the aftermath of the Black Hunter and Mirror Father, and the Black Mine City in the Rift Sea became the new base.

The White Tower Hunters of Ann and the Pirates of Palu transported a large amount of materials to the designated location.

Just as Chen Qi had thought, Whale Father had prepared a large number of items to fight against the giant whale.

Once the materials were collected, the Steam Hand began constructing the lighthouse.

Under the call of Ramon and Haye, more and more people began to gather here.

Together they would build a lighthouse to dispel the black fog that blanketed the sea.

Meanwhile, in the distant underwater treasure trove, within the Whale Father's treasure vault, the Ice Witch slowly put down the tools in her hands.

"Finally finished!"

She held the card in her hand high.

"This saint is exhausted..."

Aslina collapsed to the ground.

The Ice Witch raised her head and looked at Chen Qi beside her, asking:

"Fen, Qi, how are the ceremony preparations going?"

Chen Qi and Fen rolled up their sleeves:

"It's done."

Under the command of the Whale Father, this place was originally the core where the spiritual energy of many rifts converged.

With just a little guidance, a storm center where spiritual energy converges can be created.

At the center, Chen Qi will also undergo a physical baptism.

The Ice Witch smiled slightly:
"Take it, Little Black Fur."

Chen Qi took the card.

On the back of the card is a sea in the dead of night, with a lighthouse standing tall in the center.

On the front of the card, the Lord of the Ember, clad in black robes, sits on the throne of the sea, overlooking the entire ocean.

A dazzling notification suddenly appeared before Chen Qi's eyes.

Lord of the Deep Sea's Embers:
Nature and form: lamp, emptiness
Description: We ignite the flames and forge our kingdom in the depths of the sea.

Promotion requirements: Possessing exceptional lighthouse comprehension, mastering fifth-order lighthouse or illusory image meditation techniques, and possessing a giant lighthouse wonder connected to oneself or a materializable lighthouse rift (at least B-order).

Required items for advancement: Blood of God, a unique item from the Pure Lamp Rift.

Promotion Ceremony: To dispel the darkness that has permeated the world, and in that darkness, to ignite a dazzling torch that illuminates the world inhabited by at least half a million people.

Career Quest: You are no longer an extraordinary being, but the Lord of the Deep Sea, the symbol of the lighthouse, the revered figure of fishermen, and the demon feared by pirates.

Your spiritual power will transform into blood and spill into the sea.

The trust the sea dwellers place in you will be your source of strength!

Chen Qi took the professional card.

Just as the Ice Witch said, it is a special form of the Lord of Ember.

The most important difference between it and the Lord of the Ember is that it can turn the sea into its own territory and cultivate its own followers.

Chen Qi rubbed his professional card.

Its power slowly seeped into his fingertips.

Vast and profound.

Right now, his body is still far from being able to fully utilize this professional card.

Chen Qi accepted the professional card and then looked down at the ceremony below.

It's time to cleanse our bodies with a ritual.

The Ice Witch reminded her:
"Note that the key point is to find a way to diffuse your excess spiritual energy, rather than absorb it."

Aslina and Finn gathered their spiritual energy according to the whale father's notes.

The ocean currents surged, as if a tiny black hole had been created out of thin air, and immense spiritual energy gathered within it.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and stepped into the center of the spiritual energy storm.

In an instant, boundless spiritual power surged into his body!

His bones made a cracking sound like porcelain breaking.

Those streams of light that flowed through the blood vessels were not gentle streams, but scorching torrents carrying stardust. Wherever they passed, the flesh and blood seemed to be thrown into a furnace, and every inch of muscle curled up and stretched in screams!
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, even for his current Titan form!

Fortunately, his body had not been spared from even greater forces.

The power of pure embers is far greater than this.

His spiritual power increased so much that it far exceeded the limits of his body.

Following the instructions of the Ice Witch, Chen Qi began to continuously dispel these spiritual energies.

The spiritual energy continuously dissipated from his body, spreading outwards—

From the Sea of ​​Mist to the Sea of ​​Rifts, to the Sea of ​​White Towers, and then to Moonstone City—countless sights and sounds appeared.

In that instant, Chen Qi seemed to hear the fear of the people of Moonstone City hiding in the corners, and the worries of the White Tower hunters.

His spiritual power allows him to perceive the entire ocean.

"call……"

After a long while, Chen Qi slowly exhaled.

[Under the baptism of the rift tides, your source of spiritual power has been sublimated.]

Your constitution has increased by 50 points, and your spiritual energy source has been permanently increased by 20%.

Feeling the changes within his body, Chen Qi, noticing the 20% improvement, said:

"ended."

"Is this the end?"

A question mark appeared on Fen's head as she watched from the side:
"Only two hours have passed."

Fen originally thought that this spiritual sublimation would require more time.

"For those who have passed through forbidden rifts and received even greater power, spiritual sublimation is not difficult."

The Ice Witch smiled gently, as if everything was under her control.

The Ice Witch added:
"Qi, you are now only two steps away from advancing to the sixth rank."

Next, the ceremony will be completed.

So, I'm now at the fifth-tier Great Perfection level? Chen Qi looked at the class card in his hand.

There's no need to wait for everything to be completed; you can begin the ritual as long as you have the profession card.

The promotion ceremony for this profession is to light a torch that can illuminate half a million people in complete darkness.

And now, the entire Witch Sea is still shrouded in the black mist of the Great Whale.

This is arguably the best time to complete the ceremony.

After adjusting his spiritual power, Chen Qi headed to Black Mine City.

……

……

Black Mine City.

"news!"

"Breaking news! The father of the whale has passed away!"

"The strongest one, the Black Hunter!"

"The father of the whale knelt down and begged for mercy before the black hunter!"

White doves flitted through the black fog, scattering newspapers.

With the fall of the Whale Father, countless pirates sailed their ships into this land and chose to surrender.

Even the father of the whale was defeated, let alone the pirates here.

Of course, there are still many mutated pirates who choose to fight to the death.

However, their power was incredibly weak in the face of the White Tower Hunters and the Steam Hand.

As more and more people arrive.

This ruined city gradually became a beacon of light amidst the thick black fog.

At the heart of Black Mine City stood a giant, makeshift lighthouse.

Almost all the important figures in this apocalyptic battle have gathered here.

Palu, Lady Ori, Ramon, Haye, Veteran Gale, Blood Lady, White Tower Master, Little Raven, Water Sprite Number One, Ember Beast, Mechanic Brie—

The group decided to hold a victory celebration banquet here before dawn.

"Everyone, from now on, we just need to wait patiently!"

The Ice Witch claps her hands.

With the help of the Steam Hand, they quickly built a large lighthouse.

At the top of the lighthouse, fuel for the lamps was piled up.

All that's needed is for a powerful lighthouse superhuman to light the lighthouse once the fuel is collected, and then this crisis that nearly destroyed the ocean can be ended.

The group gathered around the campfire.

A faint fragrance wafted over.

Mrs. Oly drooled, her eyes filled with disbelief:
"Black Hunter, can cook?"

In Lady Ollie's eyes, the Black Hunter was a cold-blooded and ruthless hunter.

He is even more terrifying than the Blood Hunter and the Ice Witch.

Fen sat by the campfire:

"Hmph! Cherish this, Mrs. Ollie, this is your only and last time to taste Qi's food!"

And I can keep eating... Two little yellow flowers sprouted from Fen's head.

An said with a smile:

"I can attest to this, it's absolutely delicious!"

The little crow also raised its hand and whispered:

"I can prove it too."

"Really……"

Mrs. Oly blinked.

"Everyone, dinner is ready!"

With the lingering touch of the embers behind him, Chen Qi picked up a dozen or so dishes and gently placed them in front of everyone.

These foods are all delicacies cooked with fresh, extraordinary creatures.

"Food made by the Black Hunter?"

Haye, Ramon, Mrs. Olivia, and Little Yu Huo, who were initially skeptical, took a bite and immediately changed their attitudes!
"too delicious!"

Ramon's body jolted, and his clothes instantly ripped off, revealing his semi-mechanical, high-powered mechanical body.

"Quite good..."

Mrs. Oly praised, a blush rising on her face.

Perhaps she had been hungry for too long, because in her opinion, this food was even more delicious than the dishes prepared by a fourth-level chef in the capital!
I feel like my whole being has been purified.

It even gave her the urge to rip her clothes off.

The Beast of Lingering Fire muttered:

"good to eat……"

Enjoy your meal, everyone.

Chen Qi also sat by the campfire, enjoying the brief moment of tranquility.

On this long and extraordinary journey, she, Fen, the Ice Witch, and others have been constantly on the move.

To stop the giant whale, to survive, to advance in rank, they were like a constantly spinning spring, spinning again and again—

Now, they can finally sit around the campfire without any crisis and simply enjoy a delicious meal.

At this moment, Fen leaned closer and asked curiously:
"Qi, Qi, when are we going home together!"

Fen's eyes sparkled; she couldn't wait to introduce Qi to her parents and her clansmen!

Fen's condition was already very serious... Chen Qi took a bite of roasted meat:
"We'll set off once the lighthouse is raised."

"it is good!"

A happy little yellow flower sprouted from Fen's head.

At this moment, Haye, who had been eating dry food the whole time, said:
"Black Hunters, if possible, you'd better leave the Witch Sea as soon as possible."

"??"

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

Haye shook his head and said:

There will always be two forces in the capital.

In the empire, in the coastal cities, you are our hero.

However, the upper echelons of the capital would never allow the existence of a sixth-tier transcendent being who escaped their control.

If the fifth rank is a powerful being who dominates a region.

Those sixth-tier transcendent beings are powerful beings capable of shaking the foundations of a kingdom.

Neither the Blackblood Empire, nor the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, nor the White Tower and the Bei Kingdom would allow a free sixth-order transcendent to exist.

More importantly, historically, they have preferred to devour rather than 'absorb' them.

Historically, many fifth-tier transcendents who advanced to the sixth tier were devoured by these ancient beings.

Previously, the mission to hunt down the Ice Witch came from these old monsters in the capital.

"Yes, I'll be careful..."

Chen Qi nodded.

He hadn't expected that Haye and Ramon, as people from the capital, would actually take the initiative to remind him.

Anyway, he was going to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom next.

Chen Qi took a bite of the roasted meat and looked at everyone:

"By the way, what are your plans after this?"

The adventure is over, and they are all about to embark on their own journeys.

In that instant.

Mechanic Brie, Palu, Little Raven, and Mrs. Auli were all taken aback.

"What are you planning to do?" Upon hearing this, the Ice Witch stopped eating and fell into deep thought.
