Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 256: He trained his body again and absorbed a black hole? The incredibly shocked Holy Emperor Sharatul!

Xia Fa's first thought was that this traveling whale might be an old friend who had been corrupted and had somehow come to recognize him.

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

Because that spiritual intuition appeared extremely peaceful and serene, something that a corrupted superhuman could never achieve.

On the other hand, that spiritual intuition emanated from the belly of the traveling whale, not from its brain.

In other words, is there an old friend he knows inside the belly of this traveling whale?

who is it?

But this was spiritual intuition, not vocalization, so he couldn't judge it for the time being.

"Could it be that some unknown entity is targeting me... trying to trick me into giving an answer?"

Xia Fa considered this possibility and became wary, but he still felt it didn't seem likely.

Just then, a spiritual intuition emanated from the belly of the monstrous traveling whale, whose body was covered with the heads of all sorts of creatures.

“Xiafa, it’s me, Dick Tudor.”

Xia Fa was finally relieved.

Oh, it's Dick Tudor.

Wait, Dick Tudor?
"What...what were you doing inside the belly of a traveling whale?"

Xia Fa also asked questions based on his spiritual intuition. To avoid being seen, he even walked up to the traveling whale, bent down, and pretended to observe it.

The spiritual intuition of Dickinson came through, carrying a hint of mystery:

"It's a secret, I won't tell you for now, Xia Fa, can you do me a favor?"

Xia Fa didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately said:
"Okay, how do I do it?"

Ever since learning that Dick Tudor not only gave him the Silver Throne Overlord-level secret contract, which was worth at least ten million gold pounds, for free, but also later sold him the Gate of Stars, which was also worth nearly ten million gold pounds, for only five hundred thousand gold pounds, Dick Tudor...
The more Xia Fa learned about this extraordinary world, the more grateful he became to Dick Tudor.

Not to mention, He also imparted so much mystical knowledge to me and protected me.

Therefore, when Dick asked for help, he agreed almost without thinking, without even asking beforehand what specific help was needed.

Dickey fell in a deep voice, guided by spiritual intuition:
"First of all, there's something I need to tell you. I'm sure you're no longer the naive young man you used to be after you went to sea. You should know the difference between Extraordinary Monarch, Extraordinary Great Monarch, Mysterious Emperor, Mysterious Great Emperor, Destiny Holy Spirit, and Destiny Holy Venerable, right?"

Xia Fa immediately responded with spiritual intuition:

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

He had never heard of the title "Saint of Destiny" before. Could it be that it specifically refers to the Holy Spirit of Destiny who has signed thirty secret contracts?
Dick, speaking from spiritual intuition, said:

"I... am not actually some extraordinary monarch, but the Emperor of Mysteries! The Emperor of Mysteries who has signed thirty secret contracts!"

this--!
Even though he had anticipated this while talking to Tefaro, Xia Fa was still somewhat surprised to see Dick Tudor personally admit it.

After all, he had personally witnessed just how powerful the Emperor of Mystery, who had signed thirty secret contracts, was yesterday in the Dominator-level Whale Watching House.

Dionysius... could overwhelm all the rulers and extraordinary monarchs present, and even Patriarch Osius, the extraordinary monarch, seemed quite afraid of Him.

Xia Fa even suspected that if Dionysius hadn't been there, Patriarch Osius alone might not have been able to successfully activate the [True Mystery Treasure Pocket Universe].

And now, Dictator has actually confirmed... that He is also the Great Emperor of Mysteries who has signed thirty secret contracts?
Xia Fa suddenly felt like he had latched onto a powerful figure.

"Impressive! You've been hiding your true abilities, Dick Tudor."

Xia Fa responded with spiritual intuition and was quite pleased, which made his spiritual intuition much more active.

Through the belly of that monstrous whale with its many heads, Dicket intuitively said:

"It seems you do understand the difference. I'm relieved. My only request is that when the ultimate whale watching house opens, you must not let anyone dissect this traveling whale. Otherwise, my centuries-long plan will be in vain, especially if it's discovered."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa's eyes flashed with relief, and he replied intuitively:
"Is that all? Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Anyway, he was about to win the prize at this year's whale watching competition, which meant he was the best whale hunter in the competition. Who would dare to disagree with him?

Oh wait, those ancient whale-hunting families might disagree.

Dick's spiritual intuition returned, tinged with surprise:

"I didn't realize you were doing so well, so confident?"

Xia Fa smiled and said intuitively:

"Hmm, it's a sure thing. But you, Dick Tudor, what exactly are you doing? Can you tell me? Of course, it's okay if you can't tell me."

Inside the belly of that monster-like traveling whale with its head-covered body, Dickie was unusually silent for a moment before replying with spiritual intuition:
"I'll tell you later... I can only say that I did all this to protect myself, especially after I learned part of the truth about the world,"

After a pause, before Xia Fa could ask a question, He immediately continued:

"Since you've signed two overlord-level secret contracts and are destined to become the future Emperor of Mysteries, I will tell you the part of the world's truth I know once you've grown up. But for now, I can only give you one piece of advice..."

"...We must become stronger by any means necessary!"

After speaking this long passage with spiritual intuition, Dicket seemed to fall silent and stopped talking.

Moreover, Xia Fa also noticed that a strange change had occurred in the belly of the traveling whale, restoring the temporal and spatial turbulence that filled the thick flesh of the traveling whale.

In other words, one's own spiritual intuition can no longer be transmitted, and Dick's spiritual intuition can no longer be transmitted either.

"Becoming stronger by any means necessary...a part of the truth of the world..."

For some reason, Xia Fa thought of the hundreds of bronze-armored cavalrymen and the silver-armored cavalryman, and a chill ran down his spine.

If I were to connect the information I currently possess with what Dick Tudor said, I could only think of one possibility—

That is, one day, these silver armored cavalry, comparable to outward gods, will lead bronze armored cavalry, comparable to those of divine beings, to invade this world!
An Outer God leads hundreds of Divine beings to invade the real world, and in the form of an army, perhaps employing various formations, tactics, encirclement, dispersion, and surprise attacks...

Xia Fa couldn't even imagine what a hellish scene that would be.

It's even possible that the golden heavy cavalry, comparable to the nine great gods, will intervene...

"Is this why Dick Tudor was hiding inside the traveling whale's belly, striving to become stronger?"

"Is this also why He made me become stronger by any means necessary?"

A strong sense of crisis washed over Xia Fa, and he felt a tightness all over his body, wishing the whale watching event would end immediately so he could go back and exercise.

He wasn't afraid of death, but of course he didn't want to die either, especially since this world was full of so many wonderful things: delicious food made from supernatural creatures, adorable doll girls, adorable rat girls, adorable catgirls...

Not to mention, he finally has family and is no longer an orphan like in his previous life.

Moreover, his own relatives and the families to which they belong are among the most powerful divinely favored families in the entire universe!

All of this ignited a wildfire within Xia Fa, fueling his desire to become stronger and to possess the ability to cope with any unforeseen events.

Just then, footsteps sounded beside me.

Xia Fa turned his head and raised an eyebrow.

"Trick?"

He was a tall, thin middle-aged man, wearing a black travel whale skin cloak and a headscarf. His face was covered with crisscrossing scars, making him quite memorable.

Xia Fa remembered that he had just arrived at the whale watching event yesterday. When he cut open a traveling whale for the first time and saw the five-colored light inside, it was this Trick who spoke up, wanting to buy his traveling whale with the window cut open.

Besides Trick, many other people wanted to buy it, but of course, he didn't agree. In the end, he dissected the fragments from the Mysterious Treasure.

At that moment, Trike, who had walked over, smiled slightly:
"Xia Fa, I didn't expect you to still remember me. In a sense, we are actually friends."

Xia Fa was a little puzzled and really wanted to ask, "Who the hell are you?" Mainly because he didn't have a good impression of the ancient whale-hunting family, but he held back and asked instead:
"How to say?"

Patrick smiled and said:

“You have a grudge against Nerva, and my ancient whale-hunting family also has a grudge against Nerva’s ancient whale-hunting family. In previous years, either they or we stole the prizes from the whale-watching competition. So, you should understand, right?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa's face immediately broke into a smile, this time one that was truly genuine:
"Is that so? Then we really are friends."

Nerva's enemies are naturally his friends; Shafa understood this principle.

Moreover, in this way, at least the ancient whale-hunting family that Trick belongs to doesn't seem so bad.

Trick smiled and said:
"I also want to thank you for helping our family curb Nerva's arrogance in recent years. I don't know what happened to that old bastard. A few years ago, his whale-hunting skills suddenly improved a lot. Every year he stole the prize from the whale-hunting competition, making our family unable to hold our heads up."

Shafa sensed the gnashing hatred in His words and realized that Trike probably didn't know that Nerva was dead.

Otherwise, when He mentioned Nerva, He should have felt a sense of satisfaction at hearing of his enemy's death, rather than such resentment.

It seems the Gold Miners' Guild has done a good job of keeping things secret.

Trike then changed the subject, sounding quite pleased:
"For some reason, Nerva didn't even receive an invitation to the Gold Miners' Guild's ultimate whale watching house this year. Instead, our family elders and I received invitations. Haha, we've managed to save some face."

As he spoke, He pointed to the monstrous traveling whale with a head full of monsters in front of them:

"By the way, Xia Fa, what do you think of this monster traveling whale?"

Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat; he knew his opportunity had arrived, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"It's hard to say. I feel like what's inside this monster traveling whale's belly is something special, but I'm not sure... How about I give it a try?"

Trike stepped aside and gestured for Xiafa to proceed.

In the past two days, the members of their ancient whale-hunting family have been discussing that Xia Fa must have mastered some kind of extremely powerful whale-hunting technique, which is why he can be accurate every time he makes a move.

Just yesterday, after Xia Fa extracted the fifteen colors of light, he deliberately held back and extracted a few alien traveling whales that were neither profitable nor loss-making. However, this did not affect the judgment of the experts of the ancient whale-hunting family regarding Xia Fa.

Therefore, in the eyes of the ancient whale-hunting families, Xia Fa was practically an authority.

At this moment, seeing that Xia Fa was about to use the whale-finding technique to investigate this traveling whale, not only Trike, but also Fukuzawa, Speaker Arthur, Director Edioson and other veteran extraordinary monarchs looked over from afar.

Unlike before, when everyone would crowd around to get a close look at the whale watching from the top-tier rooms,
You should know that this is the ultimate whale watching house, where every monster traveling whale might be hiding a great disaster inside!
Of course, it could also be a great opportunity.

Therefore, everyone chose to observe from a distance so that they could respond promptly to any situation that might arise.

This made Xia Fa, who was originally just preparing to put on a show, inexplicably nervous because of the attitude of these veteran extraordinary monarchs who dared not approach.

Fortunately, I wasn't really going to study this monster traveling whale anyway; I was just going through the motions.

So he took a few steps closer and tried to place a palm on the cold skin of the monster traveling whale.

Click!

Unexpectedly, not far from his palm, a human head growing on the body of the monster traveling whale suddenly bit down on him, looking extremely ferocious.

However, this human head only had a head and no neck, so it was just a little short of biting Xia Fa. Xia Fa naturally didn't care and slowly closed his eyes.

He began to draw upon the mystical living silver within his body, pushing and compressing his blood toward his brain, but his body remained motionless and his eyes were tightly closed.

So, as everyone saw it, Xia Fa had just placed his hand on the monster traveling whale, and before long, his handsome face with its distinct features and high nose bridge, his face as handsome as an ancient Greek sculpture, turned red in the naked eye.

Moreover, it quickly became more and more popular, even giving people the feeling that it was about to explode!

In that instant, Speaker Arthur and Director Edios exchanged a glance, and the two moved to pull Shafa away.

Unexpectedly, a fat figure was faster than them, rushing to Xia Fa in an instant, grabbing the strap of his overalls, and pulling him back sharply.

At the same moment, Trike, who was also about to go and help Rashafa, paused for a moment.

He was, after all, just an angel, far slower than a seasoned superhuman monarch who had signed twenty secret covenants.

The person who pulled Xiafa away was none other than Fu Zeren, the head of the Gold Miners' Guild on Karigi Star. His face was full of concern as he gently nudged Xiafa's shoulder.

"Mr. Xia Fa? Mr. Xia Fa?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Fa slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with confusion:

"What...what happened?"

He had only spoken halfway when the color on his face suddenly turned extremely red, and a trickle of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and down his pale chin, a shocking sight.

Xia Fa seemed to only then realize what had happened, reaching up to touch the blood at the corner of his mouth, a look of extreme fear suddenly appearing on his face:

"I...I am..."

At that moment, everyone present, whether it was Speaker Arthur, Director Edioson, Emperor Nahoron, the leader of the Trojan Horse, Fukuzawa Ren... all the important figures were taken aback.

Some people even took a few steps back, their faces showing a clear desire to get away from the monstrous traveling whale covered in heads.

Fukuzawa Ren let out a long sigh:

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiafa. It seems that this monstrous traveling whale... let alone dissecting it, it's impossible to even study it."

The veteran extraordinary monarchs all agreed, and only then did they gather around, showing concern for Xia Fa.

Xia Fa forced a smile, indicating that he was fine and just needed to find a place to eat some jerky made from a Dominator-level supernatural creature to recover.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them dared to approach the monster traveling whale covered in heads. Instead, they began to study the other monster traveling whales.

Xia Fazhe actually walked to the rest area of ​​the ultimate whale watching house, ate a couple of bites of jerky from a dominant supernatural creature, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Inside the belly of a traveling whale, a monster covered in heads, Dick Tudor witnessed the entire scene with his spiritual intuition, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile:
"This kid..."

……

After half an hour.

Xia Fa took a deep breath, stood up from the rest area, and scanned the entire ultimate whale watching house.

A full half hour passed, and the invited dignitaries were all focused on studying the other nine monster traveling whales, but none of them dared to make a move.

Xia Fa also became somewhat aware of the malevolent nature of these traveling monster whales... Even a Mysterious Emperor like Dick Tudor, who had signed thirty secret contracts, was inside the belly of one of these traveling monster whales.

Who knows what unpredictable things might be found inside the bellies of the other nine monster-traveling whales?

Xia Fa even thought it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a child of an Outer God could be found through dissection.

However, since he was already there, and seeing that the Ultimate Whale Watching House would be open until 6 p.m., which was the end of this year's whale watching event, Xia Fa decided not to be idle and instead took the opportunity to study the other nine monster traveling whales.

"Nature's Bee, it's up to you now."

As Xia Fa walked toward one of the monster-traveling whales, he communicated with his pet.

Although the contents of these ten monstrous traveling whales might be extremely dangerous,

However, conversely, if the Nature Bee senses that one or more of the monster-traveling whales have something good inside, wouldn't that also mean... it's worth a try?
Anyway, I don't have to pay for it myself, although I have to split the spoils with the Gold Miners' Guild.

Not far ahead was another monster-traveling whale that had left a deep impression on Xia Fa.

This monstrous traveling whale... had only a whale tail, and no other body parts whatsoever!

That's right, there's no whale head, no whale belly, no whale fins... only the whale tail, with a pair of eyes, a mouth, and two nostrils squeezed together like an abstract painting by Picasso.

Also, on the left side of the tail, there is a small bulge, about the size of a watermelon, which seems to serve as the belly of this monstrous traveling whale.

"How about it?"

Xia Fa asked her pet with a spiritual intuition, looking quite curious.

He really wanted to know what was inside the belly of such a deformed traveling whale.

"Master, I... I'm a little scared. There seems to be something very dangerous inside the belly of this monstrous traveling whale..."

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. This...

You know, my pet is a baby! From hatching until now, it has basically never been afraid of anything.

But inside the belly of this monstrous traveling whale with only a tail, there was something that even the bees of nature feared…

Xia Fa was startled and quickly moved away from the monstrous traveling whale to avoid being caught in the crossfire if anything unexpected happened.

Immediately, he looked at each of the monster traveling whales and asked the Nature Bee about each one.

"Master, the thing inside this belly is dangerous, we'd better stay away..." "Master, this one is dangerous too, quick... run away quickly..."

"How...how did this monstrous traveling whale survive? If its belly were cut open, I feel like the entire Worm Islands would be destroyed!"

As Xia Fa observed the journey, until the very last monster, the traveling whale, he received similar responses from the Nature Bee.

They were all extremely dangerous, or even frightening to the natural instincts of the bees!
"It truly lives up to its reputation as the ultimate whale watching lodge. No wonder the Gold Miners' Guild was willing to let someone cut it open for free..."

Xia Fa mentally scoffed, shook his head, and stopped trying to dissect any of the ten monstrous traveling whales.

Among the other invited experts from ancient whale-hunting families, veteran extraordinary monarchs, and some seemingly extraordinary adventurers and bounty hunters, not one dared to make a move.

Three hours passed quickly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, joyful times are always fleeting, and it seems that this year's whale watching event is coming to an end."

Fukuzawa Ren smiled and looked at everyone.

"Thank you all for gracing our ultimate whale watching resort with your help. I will be in charge of the whale watching event next year at this time, and you will receive a 10% discount when purchasing your first whale for a trip!"

This is a perk that is usually given to those who are invited to the ultimate whale watching house every year, so no one was too surprised. However, they still exchanged a few polite words with Fukuzawa Ren.

Immediately, everyone began to leave one by one.

Xia Fa walked at the back, and not long after he stepped out of the ultimate whale watching house, Fukuzawa Ren jogged up to him.

"Mr. Xia Fa, I've come here specifically to say goodbye. See you next year."

He seemed to have come specifically to shake hands with Xiafa, but as soon as His palm touched Xiafa's palm, Xiafa immediately felt two gold coins being silently handed to him.

Fukuzawa gave him a look that could only be understood but not explained, and then rushed to the plaza of the whale watching festival to prepare for the closing ceremony of this year's whale watching festival.

Xia Fa remained calm, holding the two gold coins, and walked past the whale watching houses, heading straight out of the whale watching event area and back to the Lushurui Grand Hotel.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he casually sprinkled a handful of gold powder, distorting time and space, before sitting down on the sofa with peace of mind and opening his palm.

In his palm were indeed two gold coins.

To be precise, it's a gold coin-shaped pouch.

Xia Fa's spiritual intuition was so keen that his eyes lit up with joy at the mere glance.

The prizes for this year's whale watching event were clearly hidden in the two gold coin-shaped pouches.

A supreme secret agreement with "eternal conditions".

And, a dreamy deep-sea gold disc the size of a lychee!

It must be said that Fukuzawa Ren is very cautious and knows how to protect the privacy of his guests.

He'll keep the prize for himself first, and then, once he's back in a relatively safe place, Fukuzawa will probably announce who gets the prize at the whale watching event.

"The Eternal Overlord-level Secret Contract... Although I don't need it for now, there will definitely be a day when I sign it in the future, hmm... I should keep it safe."

Xia Fa changed to a separate black pouch, put it inside, then casually summoned a vine gate, opened it, and stepped into his own little world.

He originally planned to hide this supreme-level secret contract in his small world, but then he thought it would be better to keep it close to his body.

Otherwise, if some supernatural creature or simply a wild beast in this small world were to dig it out and swallow it, that would be troublesome.

His own little world was actually quite large, with a huge island comparable to Rum City, and the sea outside the island was boundless, teeming with countless marine and supernatural creatures.

"Hmm...should I absorb this Dreamy Deep-Diving Shadow Gold first?"

With a flick of his wrist, Xia Fa retrieved the Dreamy Deep-Diving Shadow Gold from the coin-shaped pouch.

The Dreamy Deep-Sea Shadow Gold, about the size of a lychee, looks at first glance like it's formed from the condensation of seven-colored aurora. It shifts and changes in the palm of your hand, yet you can feel its weight.

Suddenly, the dreamlike deep-sea shadow changed, transforming from an aurora into a rainbow, taking on a fairytale-like color, while its size and weight remained unchanged.

But immediately, the dreamlike deep-sea shadow gold changed again, turning into a hazy gray smoke that swirled and drifted, seemingly dissipating yet not dissipating.

In this way, the Dreamy Deep-Diving Shadow Gold constantly changed between dozens of forms of light and shadow, appearing extremely mysterious.

Xia Fa, however, began to consider a problem.

That is, should I absorb this Dreamy Deep-Diving Shadow Gold now, or should I fully understand the Overlord-level Secret Contract of the Mystic Singularity, master all five mysteries and the Origin Secret Technique before absorbing it?
Based on previous experience, absorbing the sacred metal corresponding to a Hegemon-level Secret Contract can almost comprehensively enhance all the Secret Contract abilities of a Hegemon-level Secret Contract.

If I absorb it now, will I only be able to improve the first three mysteries, resulting in a waste?
This is sacred metal; even money can't guarantee you can buy it, and it's extremely rare and precious. We can't just let it go to waste.

After thinking it over, Xia Fa decided to do some divination!
When in doubt, I consult the oracle. Since the oracle deals with sacred metals, it shouldn't trigger any taboos.

Immediately, he took out the simple divination stone, grasped the dreamlike deep-sea shadow gold, and performed a simple divination.

A few minutes later, Xia Fa opened his eyes, his face showing obvious joy.

"So that's how it is... Once absorbed, when new mysteries are acquired in the future, the newly acquired mysteries will also be strengthened?"

"Truly worthy of being called a sacred metal..."

Having figured it out, Xia Fa didn't hesitate and swallowed the lychee-sized Dream Deep-Diving Shadow Gold directly.

A sudden throbbing pain shot through his brain, and a dreamy, hazy mist rose around him. Then, Xia Fa saw three bubbles appear in front of him.

These bubbles were also filled with colorful smoke, but they immediately burst one by one, revealing different little black line figures.

The black-lined figure in the first bubble, when facing an opponent who was also a black-lined figure, was stabbed twice at the same time, yet remained unharmed.

The black line figure in the second bubble represents the secret ability to counter the opponent twice in a row.

The black line figure in the third bubble, facing the fireball spell thrown by the black line figure opposite, actually copied three identical fireballs and retaliated!

The next moment, all the little black figures turned into smoke and disappeared, and the throbbing pain in my brain vanished.

Xia Fa stood still, a look of understanding appearing in his eyes.

"Hmm... The first secret, Resurrection, now has two key areas that can be set?"

"Now we don't have to worry about whether to set it in the heart or the brain anymore, we can set it in both..."

"The second secret, Prophet's Counter, can counter two secret abilities used by an enemy at the same time, or counter two secret abilities used by two enemies at the same time. This makes things much more convenient..."

"The Third Secret - Double Counterattack has directly become Triple Counterattack, so from now on it should be called the Third Secret - Triple Counterattack..."

Xia Fa nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If I could absorb a piece of Dream Deep-Diving Shadow Gold the size of a water tank, or even the size of a house, would it be possible to directly spread the effects of the First Secret - Resurrection throughout my entire body?

Or perhaps, the third secret could be transformed into a counterattack that replicates thousands of times over?
It must be said that the various mysteries of this mysterious singularity have great potential for growth.

"I wonder what the fundamental secret technique of the Mystic Singularity is. It should be very different from the Silver Throne and the Gate of Stars, right?"

Xia Fa felt genuinely curious. The whale watching event was over, and he had successfully won a prize. The Dream Come True sea train wasn't officially setting sail until the day after tomorrow.
So he made a decision.

That is, first train your body, and then go find the Extraordinary Monarch to fight tomorrow!

If we encounter the Roaring Emperor or the Thousand-Faced Prophet tomorrow, it won't just be a fight, it will be a full-blown hunt!

Consider this revenge for my cousin Wan Xing's father!

……

In the bathroom of an Emperor Suite at the Lushuri Hotel.

Having emerged from the small world, Xia Fa skillfully constructed a thickened red and silver star shell in the bathroom, then sprinkled a large amount of shadow gold powder, and very seriously distorted space and time.

Looking at the round red and silver sphere and the shimmering metallic gold dust in the air, Xia Fa nodded slightly and began to do push-ups.

"one two three!"

"Fifty-one...fifty-two...fifty-three!"

"Ninety-eight...ninety-nine...one hundred!"

The hundred push-ups became easier and easier to do. After finishing them, Xia Fa felt his chest and arm muscles were engorged with blood, and his whole body was full of strength.

With a casual wave of his hand, he chose to use the power of the gold element from the advanced secret contract of "Etheric Source" to construct a metal bar.

Today, Xiafa's purpose is simple.

Having just trained my body yesterday, I even acquired the divine combat technique [Wailing Barrier], which grants me [Absolute Defense].

Therefore, today, based on his spiritual intuition, it wasn't quite suitable to continue exercising, so he didn't force himself to.

Just increase your pull-ups from sixty to sixty-five!

Of course, he would be very willing to break through to seventy.

It has to be said that exercising, as a unique way to become stronger, becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.

But the benefits are also enormous, making it seem like the harder it is to reap, the greater the rewards.

I wonder what benefits I'll gain this time...

Immediately, Xia Fa rotated his shoulders, loosened his muscles and bones a few times, regulated his breathing, and then suddenly leaped up, firmly gripping the metal bar with both hands.

Through persistent training, his back muscles have become prominent, and when congested with blood, they even resemble a hideous and terrifying ghost face.

This is the legendary "ghost back". Xia Fa remembers that in his previous life, a master of fitness really developed this kind of ghost back, and it was even drawn into a certain fighting comic.

Now, I've actually mastered it myself; it's truly amazing.

Without much thought, he immediately engaged his back muscles, which in turn engaged his shoulder and arm muscles, and began to exercise.

"one two Three!"

"Thirty-one! Thirty-two! Thirty-three!"

"Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty...three!!!"

……

same moment.

Beyond Gilgamesh.

This is a beautiful, ecologically rich, and enormous planet comparable in size to a supernova.

In terms of size alone, it is only slightly smaller than life-bearing planets like Caligia, which are the most powerful and advanced planets in the universe and have terrestrial god kingdoms.

But at this moment, in the void outside the planet, amidst the desolate and lonely cosmic sky, a chilling aura permeated the air.

There were dozens of members of the Gilgamesh family, led by three extraordinary monarchs, dragging a Skyfire Star Dragon whose size was comparable to a towering mountain, preparing to return to their home planet.

However, between this group of people and their own planet, an uninvited guest blocked their way.

They were a group of exceptionally robust humans, but each of them had several or dozens of dragon scales on their faces. Some were ruby-colored, some looked like they were carved from millennia-old ice, and others shone with a chilling metallic gleam.

Even the heads of these humans had slight bulges, giving the impression that dragon horns were about to grow.

The leading member of the Gilgamesh family, an elderly clansman, frowned slightly upon seeing this, and his tone was not very polite:
"Karulong, what do you want? This is outside our Gilgamesh family's inhabited planet. Do you really want to start a war with us?"

A young man named Karulong stepped forward. His face had only a few crimson dragon scales, but two cone-shaped dragon horns had already grown on his head, along with a thick head of long black hair, and his blood and energy were extremely vigorous.

“Amphion, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re so old and still so impatient. Did I say we were going to rob you? We just want to buy from you. After all, you know how rare it is to encounter Star Dragons, no matter what kind they are.”

"purchase?"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Gilgamesh family named Amphion almost lost control of his temper:
"You son of a bitch—never mind, I won't swear. How about this: if you can afford 10 billion gold pounds, I'll sell you this Skyfire Star Dragon."

Karulon raised an eyebrow, a cold glint in his eyes:
"So there's nothing to talk about?"

Upon hearing this, the people behind him almost stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, looking as if they were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Amphion's temple throbbed, and with a single grasp of his hand, a giant axe appeared. The axe was a full five meters long and extremely heavy, clearly containing some kind of sacred metal. The moment it appeared, even the void seemed unable to withstand it, and cracks appeared in its surface.

But Amphion carried it with one hand, his arm muscles bulging, as if it were not very strenuous.

"Come on, perfect timing. Let's cut open the bellies of your Starry Sky Dragon family's little brats one by one, like dissecting a traveling whale, and take out the Starry Sky Dragons inside, even if only corpses remain, hahaha."

Amphion laughed loudly and was about to raise his giant axe to launch the first attack.

A sinister smile crept across Karulon's lips as he spread his arms and his whole body trembled.

boom! ! !
An immense, unbelievable supernatural power suddenly surged from Karulong's body, almost condensing into a tangible crimson flame.

His face was about to be covered with blood-red scales, the dragon horns on his forehead were growing rapidly, and the clothes on his back were being torn apart, from which dragon wings were about to grow.

But at that moment, a figure, an old figure wearing a magnificent seven-colored robe, appeared silently between the two groups of people.

The moment this figure appeared, an indescribable aura of a transcendent monarch spread out, and the blood-red flame-like transcendent power around Karulong dissipated with a "bang," and his Starry Sky Dragon form immediately stopped, even showing signs of shrinking back.

Karulong and the other members of the Star Dragon Clan looked at the aged figure with fear and stiffened.

Emperor Shalatu!
The head of the Gilgamesh family, the Holy Emperor of the Church of Paradox, Holy Emperor Sharatul, has actually arrived!
The members of the Star Dragon Clan, including Karulon, turned around and prepared to flee almost without hesitation.

The voice of Emperor Shalatu rang out at this moment, indifferent like that of a god:

"Since you dare to come looking for trouble, then you'll have to spend a few months in the extraordinary dungeon of our planet Gilgamesh."

As soon as he finished speaking, without any visible movement from Him, the fleeing figures of Karulong and the others suddenly stopped, and then began to spin in place.

Amphion and the other members of the Gilgamesh family clenched their fists secretly, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having vented their anger.

Clearly, with the head of the family taking action, he easily dragged Karulon and his arrogant young members of the Star Dragon Clan into the "eternity" of "eternal conditions"!
Emperor Shalatu gave him a look, then turned to leave, telling Amphion and the others to capture these Star Dragon Clan brats and take them to the Extraordinary Dungeon on Gilgamesh.

"Humph."

But just then, a faint, cold snort rang out.

A colossal dragon claw, as large as a mountain and even capable of blotting out the sky, came from the depths of the starry sky and directly covered the place where Saint Emperor Sharatu and others were!

That enormous dragon claw was actually filled with the aura of a mysterious emperor, which immediately made Amphion and the others stiffen up and unable to move at all.

Emperor Shalatu's gaze sharpened as he looked over. The space beneath the enormous dragon claw immediately distorted, and no matter how the dragon claw pressed down, it could not get close to the group.

"Nidhogg, what do you mean by this?"

Emperor Sharatu spoke, his tone growing increasingly cold.

"What do you mean? Sharatul, you captured members of our Starry Dragon Clan, and I'm not allowed to rescue them?"

In the starry sky, the figure of a middle-aged man emerged. His black hair was as thick as a waterfall, and his physique was extremely robust, as strong as a ferocious beast.
There wasn't a single dragon scale on its face, but the metallic dragon horns on its head had fully grown, almost identical in shape to the horns of the Skyfire Starry Sky Dragon next to it, only much smaller.

It is... Nidhogg, the head of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan!
This was none other than a mysterious emperor, but he had only signed twenty-five secret contracts, not the full thirty.

In fact, the Emperor of Secrets who has signed thirty secret contracts is also known as the Great Emperor of Secrets.

However, there are very few secret emperors in this world, far fewer than extraordinary monarchs, so few people use this title.

Fortunately, Nidhogg did not become the Mystic Emperor; otherwise, even the Holy Emperor Sharatul, who was a Grand Lord, would have been no match for him.

In particular, Nidhogg... is also the pope of the erroneous church, one of the nine major churches!

"I don't want to argue with you about these pointless things. Isn't it your Star Dragon Clan who came to our Gilgamesh planet to lie in wait and provoke us? I—"

Emperor Shalatu's gaze was icy. He had only spoken halfway when he seemed to sense something and turned to look at a place in the far distance.

Not only Him, but even Nidhogg sensed something and looked in the same direction as Emperor Sharatul.

That place... is the edge of the natural star field.

There is a black hole there.

And now, that black hole... actually...

Is it being slowly absorbed?
