Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 649 - 564 Divine Name Chant

The fierce wind roared, and the hills exploded, dazzling blue waves shot up into the sky.

Crackle...

At the first sign of trouble, Aiven dispelled the [Venom] and unfurled the Thunderbird Wings behind him.

A blue-white electric snake twisted beneath his feet, granting him extreme reflexes, attack, and movement speed, scooping up Angie by his side and fleeing swiftly.

[Desperate Thunder Swordsmanship: Instant Flash]

Skimming past the raging attack that chased from behind, he leaped into the air.

Ever since entering the Secret Realm, although Kaka's [Black Cavity] cast via the Shadow Realm remained sealed, the No-fly Zone was already ineffective.

The wind whipped their clothes, rustling loudly, seemingly without end.

"Angie, find somewhere to hide yourself first, this time the enemy... is strong!"

Feeling the immense power contained in the strike, Aiven's expression was solemn.

"Okay, teacher, be careful!"

Clip-clop... clip-clop... clop...

With the crisp sound of hooves, Celestial White Deer Minnie appeared in mid-air, carrying Angie who jumped onto its back, flying swiftly away. The girl understood that she couldn't intervene in this level of combat, and the best thing she could do was not to become a burden to Aiven.

As the brilliance gradually faded, the two [Flesh Puppets] had already disappeared without a trace.

Aiven gazed at the pupil-eyed aboriginal youth surrounded by blue waves, floating ten meters away in mid-air. Since it was a treasure hunt in the Secret Realm, they were naturally all enemies, and the other's surprise attack was not too unexpected.

However, this form of power expression seemed familiar to him, so Aiven tentatively spoke: "A totem god that gained a physical form?"

But the sinister youth on the opposite side ignored his words, speaking with interest to himself:

"No wonder you survived my attack, another Tier 3 Transcendent.

I thought apart from those evil spirits, the recently resolved Iroquois Great Shaman was the only human Tier 3 who entered the Secret Realm.

But it doesn't matter, to the mighty God, one or two makes no difference. Now that the warm-up is over, I hope you can last a little longer than him..."

Hearing this arrogant tone, Aiven knew this must undoubtedly be a totem god.

Compared to the Atrean People, the totem gods were the true masters of this continent; many of them were old monsters who had lived hundreds or thousands of years.

They didn't regard the Nimansite People, who had colonized the New Continent for less than a hundred years, much differently than the Atrean natives, both were just masses of mortals to be dealt with as they come and go.

Just like the Great Sea Shark Oveg in the past, seemingly invincible and arrogant.

These kinds of beings were simply unreasonable; only stronger forces would make them respect or even look up to!

Without a moment's hesitation, Aiven struck first.

Gripping the hilt of the [Extraordinary Weapon: Thunder Fang] at his waist, tiny electric flashes sparked on the scabbard, transforming it into a rail akin to an electromagnetic railgun, with the biting cold edge inside becoming a bullet that repelled the magnetic field.

And then... launched forcefully!

Clang——

The trace of "interest" still lingering on Nata Piyie's face, a thread of blue-white sword light suddenly appeared in mid-air, reflecting in his eyes. At less than ten meters, the sword blade was upon him with minimal delay compared to the light beam's reach.

[Desperate Thunder Swordsmanship: Blade Draw Slash]

Caught momentarily off guard, even the long halberd in his hand couldn't be raised, and the "Sea Serpent God" was cut... in half with one sword!

Yet before Aiven, already behind him, could show any joy.

Crash...

Nata Piyie's body, split in two, instantaneously transformed into water, merging back together.

[Water Elemental Body]

As soon as he recovered, he aggressively launched a counterattack.

"Dare to harm a god, die!"

Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!...

The totem god's face, slightly pale, swept his hand, scattering a barrage of ice crystal-formed spears, shrieking through the air, trailing wisps of white mist due to the cold, flying toward Aiven's back.

The power was in no way inferior to a Bed Crossbow.

Twisting his body to swing the sword, the blade wrapped in frost-white sword Qi, slashed the spears shooting towards him like straw, effortlessly devoid of the slightest smoky air.

The first round ended in a draw.

However, Aiven also noticed that this totem god, who had been alive for an unknown amount of time, has a physical and energy usage superiority but hasn't reached the level of a Master with the qualitative change honed by countless battles.

But this was quite normal.

Each Sword Master's emergence requires talent, effort, resources, inheritance, and opportunity without one missing. If merely living long was beneficial, Aiven's Outsider Apprentice, Midorra, who is already 2600 years old, would have been invincible!

Finally acknowledging Aiven as an opponent, the Sea Serpent God seized the opportunity to wield his long halberd, transforming into a stream of blue current flying toward him.

Also realizing Aiven's superb swordsmanship, he changed tactics relying on rich combat experience, forsaking technique and overpowering with sheer force.

The Sea Snake Pattern remaining slightly bright on his skin, Nata Piyie wielding the halberd single-handedly stirred the storm fiercely chopping down, the momentum seemingly intending to hammer Aiven into two pieces with the heavy weapon.

Boom!

At the critical moment, Aiven activated the [Desperate Thunder Swordsmanship: Thunder God Battle Form], lightning burst as he shattered the air like a fish dodging nimbly. However, at the instant the long halberd missed, he frame-by-frame retreated one step, and then advanced.

Within his body, [Divine Power] unified through each cell, twisting all his strength into one.

Stepping mid-air, thrust!

Clang——

With an echoing resonant sound, the "Sea Serpent God" hurriedly retracting the halberd to defend was struck with tremendous force and flew far away.

The swirling blue waves on his body exploded, barely stabilizing his form after flying nearly a hundred meters.

Nata Piyie's expression turned from recognition to seriousness, realizing this opponent was entirely different from the totem warriors and shaman wizards he regularly dealt with, perfectly synergizing inside and out without flaws.

Not just a small character he could dispatch casually.

Knowing his close combat was not a match for Aiven, Nata Piyie no longer planned to fight close. Raising the ice-blue long halberd, a point of increasingly dazzling cross-star light reappeared on the halberd blade.

[Authority: Water Element Tide]

A vast tourmaline, pre-processed by Olivia, was thrown out, and with a Spiritual activation, the six electric rings behind it, slicing through the air, suddenly merged.

Rumble...

The thunderstorm descended upon summon.

Transforming into a thunder prison Demon Dragon, it pursued a purple thunder orb, baring its fangs and claws as it met the water-colored pillar of light.

....

"Wah wah wah..."

A monstrous infant, with festering skin and full of sharp fangs, was crawling and fleeing on the ground, emitting ear-piercing cries continuously.

A group of black rats, already grown larger than hunting dogs from eating something unknown, surrounded the horrific infant, squeaking bizarrely.

Although the meat had already rotted, it posed no problem to these big rats with omnivorous appetites.

After a moment of stalemate, just when they were about to pounce impatiently for a feast.

Suddenly.

The flesh and blood beneath a big rat's skin surged, quickly bulging with lumps the size of infant fists.

Just a few breaths later, something ripped it apart from the inside, and a blood-soaked infant crawled out of the rat's fur.

Then one after another, only a few minutes later, the place was filled with azure-colored monstrous infants, full of fangs and festering skin, wailing loudly.

The Evil Spirit "Corpse Infant" can continuously spread tiny parasitic eggs into the air, and upon finding a suitable host, it would devour humans, animals, or even Spirit Bodies from the inside, then be reborn as a new "Corpse Infant."

Subsequently, this large group of "Corpse Infants" began to merge two by two with the original one as the mother, growing bit by bit while becoming more and more like a living normal human.

Obviously, if it were allowed to grow fully, obtaining a human appearance along with those frightening abilities would become even more terrifying.

But at this moment.

Tss——

A column of light entwined with water and lightning swept across from the sky, leaving everything pristine as if washed by water. Vegetation, animals, rocks... including the "Corpse Infant" that had begun to resemble a young boy, all turned into dust.

Boom!

After the collision of ultimate attacks, almost representing his strongest range attack, a briefly weakened Aiven fell from the sky, stumbling back several steps before stabilizing himself.

"Huff... huff..."

Aiven's current state was somewhat disheveled, his clothes in tatters and covered with bloodstains. Even his breathing smelled of the hot, metallic scent of blood in his nasal cavity. This was a feeling he hadn't experienced since being hunted by the Peak Grand Knight Griffith.

Obviously.

This wasn't a flimsy entity like the Great Sea Shark Oveg, who barely succeeded in possession, but a formidable Warrior who had obtained his own body and trained for countless years. Mastery in various Martial Arts and Divine Arts, almost a combination of a Bishop and a Grand Knight.

Aiven's power as a seasoned Branded Swordsman and Official Wizard was only enough to hold his ground with him for a short time.

Despite being subpar, an innate Totem God is a God nonetheless. The strongest Totem Warrior might not defeat the strongest Grand Knight, but the limit power of a Tier 3 Totem God obviously surpasses the Peak Grand Knight.

"Heh, mortal, this is the end for you!"

Nata Piyie, with an endurance advantage supplied by followers superior to Aiven, still showed spare strength. Additionally, failing to capture a despised mortal several times made him quite angry.

Raising the long halberd high in his hand again, he recited in a solemn, distant Spiritual Text:

"Sea Serpent God Nata Piyie, blue waves, venomous fangs, frost dawn mist, sea form, my form, divine form...."

Woo woo woo...

The moisture-laden wind gradually stirred the atmosphere, plants bowed low and all beasts fell silent, the body of Sea Serpent God Nata Piyie gradually blurred as if embedded into the sky, integrating with this world.

[Divine Name Chant]

This is the strongest power of a Totem God with the appropriate Authority, harmonizing with the land they consider foundational, wielding the power belonging to the world itself to command their Authority to slay enemies!

"Dada da..."

Just the momentum of brewing the technique made Aiven shudder at the thought of "certain death if taken head-on"!

But he wouldn't sit and wait for death, watching as the opponent gathered power.

He raised the [Thunder Fang], shaped like a Hand Half-Sword, high. The semi-transparent, dark blue bone-like blade had layer upon layer of thundercloud patterns slowly glowing.

Screech——

Amidst crackling electricity, a Tier 3 Elementalized Lightning Spirit "Thunderbird" broke through the air, continuously flashing with the speed of lightning, darting towards Nata Piyie in mid-air.

At the same time, Angie, who had been on the fringes of the battlefield, retrieved her Magic Book "Brass Key."

"Unfold! Switch to [Thunder Bomb]!"

Clack... clack...

With gears turning, the magic book, seemingly made of brass, transformed into a hand cannon with complex mechanical structures.

Grasping it, Angie activated the "Venom" battle armor, amplifying her physical condition, she pressed the trigger towards the sky without much aiming.

Boom!

The massive recoil jolted her body, nearly making her topple to the ground.

Countless sparkling tourmaline bullets instantly spread across the sky within a one-kilometer radius, like a fishing net.

Crackle...

The sky transformed into a world of thunder in an instant, completely engulfing the "Thunderbird" and the Sea Serpent God.

This is a special tourmaline ammunition, imitating [Gem Witchcraft: Thunder Cannon], capable of large-scale continuous discharge.

Aiven, ignoring the scattered Evil Spirits everywhere, fully unveiled the [Thunderbird Robe], transforming into a 900-kilometer-per-hour Thunderbird, escaping with the timely assistance of Angie.

A glowing halberd light pierced through the sea of thunder, leaving a deep trench on the ground.

Amid the continuous roar of thunder came the Sea Serpent God's roar:

"As long as the Secret Realm doesn't open, you cannot escape. When the great 'Mother of Water' Melro arrives here, I'll conduct a blood sacrifice with your flesh and blood!!!"
