From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Lu Heng was not surprised by the appearance of the Black Scale Demon, and had already prepared for the battle several days ago.

The Siren Clan was recruited, and the mission mentioned the Abyss Conqueror.

I didn't know what race the Abyss Conquerors were before, but now that I've seen the Blackscale Demons, everything makes sense.

The Blackscale Clan is an abyssal race that inhabits the ocean, and all their abilities are related to the ocean.

It can be said that the Blackscale Demon's fighting power in the water is no less than that of the Siren Clan.

In fact, because the Blackscale Demons were empowered by the power of the abyss, they were often stronger than the Siren Clan.

The location of this Abyss Battlefield is in the ocean, and both sides are recruiting aquatic races, which is in line with the recruitment rules.

When the Abyss Battlefield opened, the human military's think tank had already analyzed all the possibilities.

The probability of encountering the Blackscale Demon is the highest, and the actual situation completely matches the analysis conclusion.

Therefore, two days ago, the United Human Civilization Council issued a call to arms, dispatching ocean-type warriors to the Besmay Sea.

Since humans first came into contact with the sea monsters, various countries have gradually realized the importance of naval forces and have begun to train marine warriors.

Two years have passed, and the number of human beings specializing in marine-related abilities is quite considerable.

However, the recruitment notice issued by the Human Union Council requires an entry level of 50.

In other words, only ocean-type ability users who have reached the first tier are capable of dealing with this abyss battlefield.

Most marine-type ability users on Earth only started taking this route during the middle of the Abyss Invasion.

Starting late has its advantages, namely a clearer path and fewer detours, but the time is too short, and most marine-type ability users are not yet at the required level.

Levels of 20 or 30 are not enough to enter the Bethmai Deep Sea Battlefield; blindly entering is just suicide.

Therefore, the marine warriors entering the Besmai Sea were mainly composed of marine teams from the Southern Theater Command of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Liu Haiyang's marine team is already poised for action.

The news of the Blackscale Demon's appearance was immediately relayed back to the destroyers of the East China Sea Fleet.

The fully equipped marine team received the sortie signal, and Liu Haiyang led two hundred marine warriors to assemble on the deck.

Jian Qing issued the sortie order, specifying the coordinates of the target sea area, then pointed and shouted, "Move out!"

Liu Haiyang led two hundred marine warriors to stand at attention and salute, then turned around, jumped over the railing, and into the sea.

Jiang Shaoran, the Tide Summoner, waved her staff, stirring up sea breezes and giant waves to help the marine fleet speed across the sea at 300 kilometers per hour.

Upon arriving at the target sea area, the two hundred marine warriors immediately dived into the sea and joined forces with the Siren Clan to launch a siege against the Blackscale Demon.

……

When human civilization systematically and systematically encircled and annihilated the isolated abyssal demons, the black-scaled demons summoned by the abyss were no match for them.

From the very beginning, the battle turned into a one-sided encirclement and suppression.

The Blackscale Demon wasn't stupid; instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, it retreated to more distant waters, fighting as it went.

……

at the same time.

Lu Heng swam swiftly in the sea, chasing after the Black Scale Clan's Great Demon.

The seawater rushed past his ears, and the resulting resistance caused Lu Heng's speed to decrease significantly.

Even so, Lu Heng still managed to stir up a torrent in the sea, causing huge waves to surge on the surface, thanks to his demigod-level strength.

After exchanging a single blow, the Black Scale Demon realized Lu Heng's formidable strength and began to move rapidly underwater to avoid his attacks.

Lu Heng stirred up a giant wave, surged forward, and slashed out with his sword.

The power of a demigod stirred up the sea, creating towering waves.

The Black Scale Demon swam rapidly in the seawater in a zigzag pattern. Just as the sword light struck, it suddenly disappeared into the darkness, as if it had become one with the seawater.

"Water Concealment skill?" Lu Heng roughly guessed what skill the Black Scale Demon was using.

The Blackscale Demons are entirely black, making them excellent at concealing themselves in the dim light of the ocean floor. If they also use water-based stealth skills, the combined effect is even better.

Lu Heng remained calm and activated his demigod vision to look over.

A faint black trail could be seen moving rapidly ahead.

Lu Heng held his sword horizontally in his right hand, swooped down, broke the sound barrier in the seawater, and stirred up a torrent of seawater that poured into the seabed.

Catching up behind the Black Scale Demon, he exerted force with his right hand, and the blade of the Aurora Blade drew an arc, unleashing the Wind Dragon's Breath Slash!
Roar!
The sword energy transformed into a roaring wind dragon, tearing through the seawater and creating a violent vortex.

The seawater within a radius of 100 meters was instantly pumped out, creating a brief vacuum.

The Black Scale Demon, having lost the protection of the seawater, was forced to reveal itself, displaying a terrifying form five meters tall.

His body was covered in slimy scales, his claws were like hooks, and barbs grew at his joints.

Its pupils were two dark green orbs, which were now trembling violently with rage.

As the wind dragon charged toward them, the Black Scale Demon opened its serrated mouth and let out a sharp hiss, spewing out a stream of abyssal energy.

The energy from the abyss surged through the seawater, forming a water dragon that met the wind dragon.

The two dragon-shaped energies collided, creating shockwaves that churned the sea.

The Blackscale Demon's counterattack was not over yet; it continued to spew out large amounts of abyssal energy from its mouth.

These abyssal energies converged into jet-black water blades, gathering towards Lu Heng and eventually forming a water blade cage that sealed him inside.

Lu Heng touched the seawater with his toes, his figure blurring instantly. He activated Void Flash, appearing out of thin air behind the demon. His second move, Soaring Dragon Hunt, thrust his sword straight at the demon's heart.

puff!
The sword's speed was as fast as lightning, giving the Blackscale Demon no chance to react.

The moment the sword pierced the scales, the Black Scale Demon's body suddenly exploded, turning into a pool of black water that sprayed in all directions.

At the same time, the seawater above Lu Heng's head suddenly solidified, turning into a cubic cage weighing tens of thousands of tons that crashed down. It was the Black Scale Demon's unique high-level ability - the Black Scale Heavy Water Coffin!

If it were anyone else, they would be crushed to pieces by the heavy water inside the Black Scale Heavy Water Coffin once they were locked in.

Lu Heng roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, and unleashed a rift slash upwards with the Aurora Blade.

The sword light shot into the sky, splitting the heavy water coffin in two.

Amidst the shattered water curtain, the true form of the Black Scale Demon launched a surprise attack from the side, its claws, enveloped in a deadly black mist, aimed straight for Lu Heng's throat. The claws gleamed with dark light, clearly carrying a potent poison.

Before Lu Heng could sheathe his sword, he raised his left hand, spread his fingers, unleashed his demigod power, activated his Divine Source Armor, and with a "snap," grabbed Lu Heng's hand.

The collision of claws and palms unleashed a shockwave, sending dust storms tens of meters high into the air.

The Blackscale Demon realized its claws had been seized, and Lu Heng's Aurora Blade was already slashing towards it. Its pupils contracted sharply, and its entire body's scales suddenly stood on end, shooting out like thousands of flying knives, unleashing another trump card of the high-level Blackscale Demon—the Thousand Scale Kill!

Ding Ding Ding!
The Black Scale Demon originally intended to use this trump card to force Lu Heng to release his claws.

Lu Heng showed no intention of letting go, directly increasing the defensive power of the Divine Source Armor, and blocked Qian Lin's attack with clanging sounds.

At the same time, he drew his sword with his right hand and slashed horizontally.

Knowing that its head would be severed if it didn't break free from Lu Heng's grasp, the Black Scale Demon twisted its right claw at a terrifying angle and snapped off the moment the sword light reached it.

He abandoned his right claw, and using the splattered blood as a spring, he shot backward like a black shark swimming rapidly in the sea, fleeing into the distance.

Lu Heng's lips curled into a cold smile as he accelerated his sprint, chasing after the Black Scale Demon.

As the Black Scale Demon fled, it unleashed various self-preservation skills in an attempt to block Lu Heng's pursuit.

However, he had already revealed most of his trump cards. If he hadn't been in the sea, Lu Heng would have been able to kill the abyss behemoth in the first move, as he would have needed to conserve some strength to deal with it.

The Blackscale Demon grew increasingly desperate as it fled, unable to shake off its pursuers no matter how it tried to escape.

Just as the sword light was about to strike him, he was forced to use his last trump card, transforming into a water arrow that shot out and defied the resistance of the seawater, flashing rapidly on the seabed as if he could teleport.

Lu Heng's fingertips traced across the Aurora Blade as he unleashed the third move of the Sword Saint's ultimate technique—Space Combo Slash.

He flashed to the Blackscale Demon's escape route at an even faster speed and slashed down with his sword.

The Black Scale Demon transformed into a water arrow and shot out for the second time, but Lu Heng's sword was too fast. Even though he transformed into a water arrow and shot out, he still had a leg cut off.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Heng unleashed another series of spatial attacks, intercepting the attack once more.

After three bursts of water arrows, the Black Scale Demon had revealed all its trump cards, and with one arm and one leg severed, it was no longer able to resist and could only wait to die on the spot.

Three spatial jumps, three slashes.

Lu Heng slashed down with his sword, splitting the Black Scale Demon's body in two, and black blood mixed with a shrill scream exploded outwards.

[Slayed the Blackscale Clan's Great Demon, absorbing 30000 energy points.]

The Black Scale Demon roared, releasing a piece of class-specific source material and a crystal core.

However, Lu Heng did not wait for the process of the source material to finish, and turned around and rushed towards the seabed.

Because there is an even more important goal to be achieved, which is also the ultimate objective of this Abyss Battlefield—the Abyss Behemoth.

Lu Heng rushed to the location marked by the Azure Phoenix, cleaved through the spatial barrier with a sword, and entered the outer space.

The laws of outer space have no connection with the main world. Under normal circumstances, ordinary superhumans who fall into outer space will be crushed into powder by the chaotic space.

Even if it can withstand the compression of space, nothing can be seen with the naked eye.

Only by activating demigod vision can one observe the environment of outer space.

After Lu Heng activated his demigod vision, he did not see the abyssal behemoth, but instead saw a trajectory of a chaotic space being torn open.

Clearly, the abyssal behemoth has escaped this space.

In just three days, this creature consumed all the food in a 100-kilometer stretch of ocean, and its size tripled.

If this thing escapes, it will surely cause endless trouble in the future.

Lu Heng took out the communicator given to him by Azik, summoned Azik, and then returned to the seabed to call Su Muyu down.

The two traversed outer space together, and Azik arrived in his astral merchant ship.

The two boarded an astral merchant ship and resumed their pursuit of the abyssal behemoth.

This time, the abyssal behemoth did not escape for long, and the distance it fled was not too far.

This astral merchant ship is the culmination of the technology of the astral merchant civilization. It travels through outer space at an extremely high speed.

Su Muyu unleashed her senses to track the location of the abyssal behemoth.

Half an hour after the astral merchant ship set sail, Su Muyu suddenly shouted, "Found it! It's just ahead. It's trying to split up again."

"We won't give it another chance this time."

As Lu Heng spoke, he leaped out, using his demigod power to break through the chaotic space. With the Aurora Blade in hand, he gathered his strongest combat power, locked onto the abyss behemoth, and unleashed a demigod sword strike: [Mountain Range].

A sword beam slashed down across the chaotic space, like a mountain range falling from the heavens, instantly engulfing the abyssal behemoth and evaporating tens of thousands of meters of space along with it.

The abyssal behemoth originally wanted to hide and split, but it was found at the critical moment of the split. When it tried to escape, it was already enveloped by a mountain-like sword aura.

It struggled and roared amidst the sword's edge, but it was powerless against the destructive force of a demigod.

After a long time, the chaotic space that had been torn apart by the sword light flowed back to fill the vacuum, leaving only the remains of the abyssal behemoth in its original location.

On the Star Realm merchant ship, Su Muyu saw a silver light shoot out from the chaotic space. It was Lu Heng returning and landing back on the Star Realm merchant ship. He exhaled a heavy breath.

Then, a kill notification appeared.

[Slay the Abyss Demon Nest Behemoth and absorb 150000 energy points.]

[Source Energy Level Upgraded to Level 66, All Attributes +7, Agility Attribute +2.1]

Seeing the kill notification, Lu Heng finally felt relieved and reminded him, "Check if any crystal cores have been extracted."

Su Muyu nodded in agreement and dispatched the Azure Phoenix to fly into the chaotic space to search for the crystal core extracted from the abyss behemoth.

A moment later, the Azure Phoenix returned, bringing back several items.

One of them is divine essence, along with three crystal cores and an auxiliary material for a demigod ritual.

Auxiliary materials are not the main materials; you cannot start the promotion ceremony with only auxiliary materials.

However, this auxiliary material for the demigod ritual is very useful to the Elf Queen.

With this supplementary material, Queen Orianna has a good chance of becoming a demigod.

It would be like having another demigod in the Alliance of Swordholders, providing more support on the front lines against the Abyss.

Su Muyu took out another piece of class-specific source essence and said, "This was extracted from the Black Scale Clan's Great Demon; it's class-specific source essence."

Lu Heng glanced at it and saw that it was the fifth-tier class of the ocean-type [Deep Sea Fighting God].

This fifth-tier job advancement source quality is most suitable for Liu Haiyang.

It was also because of this class that the Blackscale Great Demon was able to withstand so many blows from Lu Heng.

Once the Great Xia produces a "Deep Sea Warrior," it also means that all the oceans of Blue Star will become the territory of the Great Xia.

This is the absolute authority that comes with absolute power. Without the permission of the [Deep Sea God of War], not a single drop of seawater is under anyone else's control.

Lu Heng handed the auxiliary materials for the demigod ritual to Su Muyu, saying, "After this Abyss Battle is over, take these to Queen Aureanna. She'll definitely reciprocate." (End of Chapter)
