Passing through the barrier, the dry air rushed towards him, and Su Yuan's feet landed steadily on the smooth stone surface.

Su Yuan carried the treasure chest in one hand, while the bone blade that had been transformed into his other hand returned to its original form. He picked up the hammer again, and the bone spikes supporting the giant hammer on his back quietly retracted into his body.

He looked around. The temple's main hall was spacious and magnificent, with a towering dome that gave people a strong sense of oppression.

In the very center of the hall, a group of people dressed in blue robes knelt motionless, like statues, facing forward, seemingly performing some kind of devout prayer.

Su Yuan looked in the direction they were looking, and at the end of his line of sight was a huge statue of a god.

The statue depicts a robust man, bare-chested with clearly defined muscles, holding a short-handled warhammer in his left hand and a simple-looking trident in his right.

At that very moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The moment Su Yuan stepped into the main hall, the blue-robed men who had been standing still suddenly turned their heads as if they were wind-up puppets, looking at this uninvited guest.

Beneath the hoods were withered, shrunken faces with sunken eye sockets and skin clinging tightly to the bones, resembling mummified corpses in a kneeling position.

Su Yuan's eyes were calm; his intuition told him that these dried corpses themselves posed no threat.

His attention was completely focused on the statue.

Sure enough, the next second, a blood-red mark slowly appeared on the smooth forehead of the statue.

The mark was peculiar; it consisted of a circle superimposed on a triangle, and in the very center of the triangle was a strangely drawn eye with a vertical pupil, like a snake's eye.

The moment Su Yuan saw the mark, his skin tensed instantly, and a strong sense of crisis, stemming from his biological instincts, surged through his body like an electric current.

Without hesitation, a flash of lightning appeared at his fingertips, and a wisp of lightning, solid as a tangible object, instantly condensed and shot towards the blood-red eye like an arrow released from a bow!

However, before the lightning could touch the statue, a dried-up corpse believer kneeling below suddenly leaped up from the ground with unimaginable speed, using his own body as a shield to block the lightning.

"Sizzle—"

Lightning burst forth, and the dried corpse instantly turned into charcoal, crashing to the ground and shattering into countless pieces.

At the same time, a text composed of twisted blood-red runes appeared out of thin air in front of Su Yuan, slowly combining into a line of subtitles that Su Yuan could understand.

You actually came.

[Ever since you stepped into these waters, I have sensed your presence; you are the most special of all who have arrived.]

So, please leave.

That blood-red eye was actually communicating with him in this way.

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed. Far from being intimidated by the other party's pretentious manner, a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He took two steps forward and asked leisurely, "So?"

New subtitles appeared again, this time faster than before.

I don't want to be your enemy by leaving here. I have more important things to do, and you even did me a great favor.

[In the secret room on the right, there are some items that I'm not interested in, but you are free to take them.]

I can sense that you haven't come here to be my enemy. If that's the case, then take those things and leave.

Su Yuan looked at the words and his mind raced.

Did you do me a huge favor?

He immediately thought of the six-legged merman he had killed.

"Is it because I killed that six-legged merman?" Su Yuan asked directly.

Yes. Take your wealth and leave. I've said it before, there's no connection between us.

The subtitles appeared quickly, seemingly eager for him to leave.

Su Yuan suddenly felt enlightened.

Clearly, the person in front of him had no idea that Su Yuan had already obtained more information about this place.

Because of Su Yuan's high level of perception, as well as other reasons, he can obtain more detailed information each time he enters a dungeon, including seeing some hidden notes.

It turned out to be the case.

Long ago, an evil god defeated the sea god of this place and corrupted it.

The surviving humans were cursed and turned into merfolk, trapped in the ever-rising sea.

Their consciousness was gradually worn away over the long years, but the strong among them, such as the previous merfolk chieftain, could still retain some of their rationality.

She tried to rebel and break the curse, but ultimately failed. However, she left behind her bloodline—the six-legged merman with the potential to become a "king".

Unfortunately, even this "king" has had his bloodline corrupted.

This evil god of the eyeball probably took advantage of this, controlling it from a young age, waiting for it to grow up, and then using it to completely destroy the last resistance left by the sea god.

But he himself, by a twist of fate, killed this crucial piece.

Therefore, this eyeball was in a hurry to get rid of itself instead of taking direct action, or rather, it simply didn't have the ability to kill itself.

The reason they said so much, even going so far as to offer rewards to bribe him!

This is clearly a sign of guilt!

Unfortunately, I want the reward too, but I want the kill reward even more!

Having figured all this out, Su Yuan's smile widened, and his eyes turned icy.

He slowly raised his hand, and crackling lightning gathered in his palm once more.

The blood-red eyes in the air trembled violently, and the new subtitles appeared somewhat hurried.

You shouldn't have done this! Taking your belongings and leaving is the wisest choice you could make!

"I am a messenger of God," Su Yuan said lazily, interrupting the other person's persuasion. "Do you know who's above me? You'd be terrified if I told you!"

The blood-red eyes paused for a moment, seemingly puzzled.

What does that mean? So what?

"Anyway, remember this: my boss's name is Azik!"

Su Yuan grinned and directly announced the name of the Mad Evil God. At the same time, he clasped his hands together and the ocean divine power in his body was running wildly.

"boom--!"

A thick pillar of lightning descended from the sky and struck the center of the temple with great force!

Most of the blue-robed, dried-up corpses instantly turned to ashes in the lightning.

The blood-red eyes on the statue trembled wildly, the blood vessels in them becoming even thicker, almost overflowing.

You're playing with fire! Stop now! Get out of here immediately! Otherwise, you'll regret it!

"Lord Azik sent me." Su Yuan's expression was fanatical, like a demon in a whirlwind, his acting was incredibly lifelike. "He is a great god, who can control the power of madness, he is my supreme master! How could I be afraid of a mere outsider like you?"

He kept talking, but his hands moved even faster.

Another bolt of lightning struck, and the remaining dried-up corpse followers in the field were also wiped out completely.

Now, Su Yuan understood completely.

The power of these eyes is indeed very strong, but that is only relative to ordinary people.

When faced with itself, or beings of the same caliber as that six-legged merman, it seemed powerless.

All its power seemed to be used to maintain a certain state, leaving it unable to focus on dealing with itself.

[Alright! Azik, right? I'll remember you!]

The bloodshot eyes seemed to have finally given up on communication, revealing a hint of resentment.

Su Yuan didn't give it a chance to utter any threats, and unleashed another, even more violent bolt of lightning with all his might.

"Boom!"

The lightning completely engulfed the statue.

With a resentful howl, the blood-red eye was cleaved into nothingness.

The cold and ominous atmosphere that had enveloped the temple also vanished.
