Eternal Reverence

Werewolf Li Fuchen was trapped inside an underground palace inside the Tower Wood Ruin.

The underground palace was shining with treasure light due to the four cardinal artifacts.

Werewolf Li Fuchen was trapped inside an array by the palace. If it wasn't for the powerful spirit soul, Werewolf Li Fuchen would have died a long time ago.

"The underground palace is really hidden, no wonder it hasn't been discovered." With a sweep of the spirit soul power, Li Fuchen immediately found the underground palace.

Li Fuchen found the entrance and entered the underground palace.

"Break!"

With calamity power activated, Li Fuchen cleaved the array with his palm.

In fact, this array wasn't weak and was almost having the power of a regular lord. It was a pity that it wasn't good enough for Li Fuchen.

"Let me recuperate my energy first." The rescued Werewolf Li Fuchen had weakened qi presence. He nodded towards Li Fuchen and quickly sat in a cross-legged position to recover his energy.

The regular lord-level array was incredible. Even though Li Fuchen rushed over here with extreme speed, more than 70% of Werewolf Li Fuchen's energy had been exhausted. If Li Fuchen was any later, Werewolf Li Fuchen would have died.

"The werewolf incarnation is still rather weak in strength." Li Fuchen thought to himself.

A few centuries ago, Werewolf Li Fuchen's strength was already at the level of an elite city lord-level heaven lord and was already on par with most universe city lords. However, to venture into a power star domain, it wasn't good enough without the strength of a lord.

It was a pity that Li Fuchen didn't have any darkness type artifact, otherwise, it could rapidly increase the strength of Werewolf Li Fuchen.

After taking a glance at the recovering Werewolf Li Fuchen, Li Fuchen started to keep the cardinal artifacts in the palace.

Of the four cardinal artifacts, three of them were high-grade supreme rate cardinal artifacts and one of them was an extreme-grade supreme rate cardinal artifact.

"It is a thunder dao cardinal artifact. Not bad."

The extreme-grade supreme rate cardinal artifact was an awl. The surface of the awl was flickering with terrifying electric current and had astonishing power.

Looking from the cardinal patterns within the awl cardinal artifact, the power wasn't weaker than an all-out attack from a superior lord. It was just suited to compensate for Werewolf Li Fuchen's lack of strength.

Several days later, Werewolf Li Fuchen replenished his energy.

Li Fuchen decided that Werewolf Li Fuchen was to return with him to comprehend and study the World Fruit.

…

Everyone didn't feel weird for a stranger to appear in the Sword Lock World. They trusted Li Fuchen and this stranger gave them a feeling that felt familiar. There was a trace of intimacy from the stranger.

This time, Li Fuchen didn't choose to comprehend the World Fruit with everyone, he decided to venture to one of the ruins.

His strength might already be powerful and was highly ranked even among the Lord Rankings. But he knew that there were other unparalleled lords that could still be a threat to him.

"I am lacking in weapons, armors, and cardinal artifacts. Among the choices of ruins, the 3rd ranked Water God Tomb should be more suitable for me."

The Water God Tomb was a tomb of a half-god.

For countless years, plenty of lords had entered the Water God Tomb and there were also plenty of lords that had perished there.

Generally speaking, one required the strength of a pinnacle lord before daring to enter the Water God Tomb. The entire wealth of a pinnacle lord was actually very alluring to an unparalleled lord. Once a pinnacle lord perished inside, all of the wealth or a portion of the wealth would be left in the Water God Tomb. It would become loot for future visitors.

Of course, the Water God Tomb's true treasures were the Water God's prized collections. In legends, the Water God had kept his half-god equipment, the Water God Trident inside the Water God Tomb, waiting for a fated person to inherit it.

The Water God Trident was the true reason why countless lords were attracted to risk their lives. After all, it was a chance to become god in a single step. Moreover, it was much safer than to venture in the Battlefield of God. Li Fuchen's objective wasn't the Water God Trident, as its attribute wasn't suitable for him. Even if he obtained it, he wasn't planning to rely on the Water God Trident to become a half-god. His objective was to obtain more extreme-grade supreme rate weapons, armors, and cardinal artifacts.

…

In the depths of the Radiancy Star Domain, there was a whirlpool that was as big as a group of stars.

This whirlpool was the entrance towards the Water God Tomb.

Every year, there were plenty of lords that entered the Water God Tomb, most of the lords came from outside the Radiancy Star Domain.

On this day, there was a sword light that skimmed into the whirlpool.

"This is the Water God Tomb?" When entering the Water God Tomb, Li Fuchen felt a surge of moisture.

Inside the Water God Tomb, it was filled with concentrated water dao source while the other universe sources were heavily suppressed.

In other words, any water dao practitioner would have a great boost in strength inside the Water God Tomb. The other practitioners would have a huge decline in strength.

"It seems like the highly ranked ruins and hazard lands wouldn't be so easy to explore."

In terms of the treacherous environment, the Devil Horn Star Sea was comparable with the Water God Tomb or even worse, but the danger level in the Devil Horn Star Sea was inferior to the Water God Tomb. After all, the Devil Horn Star Sea was naturally formed while the Water God Tomb was man-made. There were plenty of traps and arrays inside that were hard to defend against. It was the same for the Void of Chaos, in terms of danger level, it was lower than the Water God Tomb, but the treacherous environment wasn't suitable for cultivators to visit.

…

The Water God Tomb was huge and it was like a maze on the inside with plenty of tomb-like structures.

It wasn't possible to fly inside the Water God Tomb, not even for unparalleled lords.

Li Fuchen advanced carefully as he stepped on the firm tomb flooring.

"Mm? It is raining."

After walking for a short while, there was a drop of rain that landed on Li Fuchen's hair. He lifted his head to look and saw gray skies as it started to rain lightly.

Tss Tss Tss Tss…

However, the light rain had immense power. Li Fuchen reckoned that a city lord-level heaven lord wouldn't even be able to withstand a single breath. Regular lords wouldn't be able to last for a long time either. They must be equipped with extreme-grade supreme rate cardinal artifacts or armor for protection.

"This is only a light rain. The Water God Tomb has four categories of rain. Light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, and rainstorm. Even an unparalleled lord would be pathetic inside a rainstorm and wouldn't dare to stay inside for long."

The light rain continued for several days and Li Fuchen arrived in front of a pond.

The pond had an exquisite style and in the center of the pond, there was a statue of a frog.

As the pond water was very clear and Li Fuchen could clearly see the bottom of the pond. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as he discovered a spatial ring.

It was obvious that this spatial ring was left behind by a fallen lord.

Squatting down, Li Fuchen reached inside the pond with one finger.

As he expected, the pond water was much more dangerous than the light rain. It contained powerful pressure and even a superior lord would instantly disintegrate if they jumped inside.

Splash…

Li Fuchen dove into the depths of the pond.

As for the pressure from the pond water, it couldn't deal with his Calamity Immortal Body.

Soon enough, Li Fuchen obtained the spatial ring and came onshore.

Li Fuchen involuntarily smiled after taking a look inside the spatial ring.

If he didn't guess wrongly, this spatial ring belonged to a pinnacle lord. Just purely peak-grade spirit stones, there were already a few dozen trillions. If all the resources and treasures were combined, they would be worth at least a few dozen trillions too.

"These pinnacle lords are too rich." Li Fuchen lamented. He was an unparalleled lord, but he was far inferior to these pinnacle lords. During the visit to the Void of Chaos, he only obtained that huge piece of low-grade fire energy crystal which was worth one trillion, at most a few trillion. However, Chaos Fire Lotus had a priceless value that couldn't be estimated.

But Li Fuchen understood that he was still young. He had lived for a few million or billion years, his wealth would definitely exceed those pinnacle lords.

Inside the spatial ring, the most valuable item was an extreme-grade supreme rate offense cardinal artifact.

Seeing the cardinal pattern, Li Fuchen reckoned that this cardinal artifact was probably at the level of an unparalleled lord. It was unless for him, but it was a priceless treasure for anyone below the unparalleled lords.

Huff!

Letting out a breath, Li Fuchen felt pleased.

Just by obtaining one spatial ring, his wealth had already multiplied by several times. If he could obtain more, his wealth should already be comparable with some of the weaker unparalleled lords.

Thrum Thrum!

Inside the Water God Tomb, there would be rainfall after every period of time.

This time, it wasn't a light rain, it was a heavy rain.

Heavy rains were enough to threaten pinnace lords. If they didn't find a place to hide, they would be disintegrated by the rain.

With a burst of sword energy, a transparent shell was protecting Li Fuchen.

Whenever the rain landed on the shell, it would let out pitter-patter sounds.

Even though Li Fuchen had the Calamity Immortal Body, he didn't wish to be drenched by the rain water.

"An unparalleled lord's wealth must be astonishing."

In the depths of the heavy rain, there was an invisible figure standing there with sinister eyes that were filled with greed.

In the outside world, he didn't dare to provoke any unparalleled lord. But this was the Water God Tomb, which boosted a water dao cultivator's strength by several times.

With his strength as an elite lord, inside the Water God Tomb, he would now have the strength of an unparalleled lord. But it was different from unparalleled lords. Weaker unparalleled lords would only be able to exhibit the strength of a pinnacle lord inside the Water God Tomb. Powerful unparalleled lords would only have the strength of a regular unparalleled lord.

Most importantly, the Water God Tomb was filled with water dao source, allowing him to replenish his energy easily. It wasn't the same for other cultivators as they could only rely on their own accumulated energy to fight. Once the battle extended, his advantage would only grow.

"Previously, I allowed that unparalleled lord to escape. This time, I will definitely succeed." The invisible figure quietly approached Li Fuchen.

The heavy rain masked all of his qi presence.

"Water Source World."

From a far distance, the invisible figure tossed a fist-sized golden water sphere into the sky. Immediately after, the golden water sphere exploded and turned into a golden water barrier that trapped Li Fuchen.

"Water Revolution Eight Dragon Kill!"

The invisible figure didn't hesitate as he rushed into the golden barrier and blasted a fist at Li Fuchen.

The fist was ferocious as the fist force turned into eight water dragons. Each of the water dragons were overflowing with water dao source.

"Just in time." Li Fuchen had already noticed the invisible figure long ago. He turned around and countered with a slash.

Boom Boom Boom…

The eight water dragons had exploded and the invisible figure involuntarily took over ten steps back.

"Such incredible strength."

The invisible figure's eyes turned still. His fist already had the strength of an unparalleled lord, but his target could still repel him. It proved that his target's strength was extremely powerful and superior to a regular unparalleled lord.

"So what if he is ranked highly in the Lord Rankings? This is the Water God Tomb." The invisible figure charged at Li Fuchen again. There were multiple water dragons that formed a frenzied dragon dance within the golden barrier.
