Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship

Chapter 255: Chapter 254: Holy Spring Spirit Liquid, Fertile Divine Abomination

’A trap!’

The word exploded in Bishop Moluo’s mind!

He stared at Su Ye with extreme apprehension.

This black-robed youth appeared gentle and refined.

However, at this very moment, spiritual pressure naturally radiated from his body, creating distorted ripples in the air!

Within Su Ye’s body, four God Seeds flowed with light, emitting fluctuations.

This aura made Moluo’s entire body stiffen... even his soul began to tremble!

"The third echelon?"

"Four types of divinity?"

"Which royal family is this... No, which Divine Son?!"

he cried in terror.

God Seeds and divinity were both manifestations of the Power of Rules.

Their essence was extremely similar, almost indistinguishable.

Two sides of the same coin!

It was understandable that Bishop Moluo would misidentify them.

"Such a pale complexion..."

"There’s no such bloodline in the Northern Territory... Could this be a Divine Son from the Southern Territory?!"

’I must not make an enemy of him!’

’Otherwise...’

’I’ll die!’

Moluo’s thoughts raced, and his heart pounded with fear.

He hunched over, forcing a fawning smile onto his old face.

"My sincerest apologies!"

"I was reckless. I didn’t realize you were resting here and disturbed Your Highness, the esteemed Divine Son..."

The speed at which he groveled was so fast it even surprised Su Ye a little!

Then, Bishop Moluo hurriedly took out a jade-green vial from a bone ring on his finger.

"This is a vial of Holy Spring Spirit Liquid."

"Please, accept it!"

"Oh?"

Su Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone, toyed with a lock of his hair, his eyes shifting slightly.

’Holy Spring Spirit Liquid!’

’He knew of this item!’

The Spirit Veins of the Far South Continent often manifested as Spiritual Springs, and this Holy Spring Spirit Liquid was extracted from the very core of a Spiritual Spring using a special technique.

It was a liquid of incomparably pure Spiritual Qi, condensed to an almost solid state!

A top-tier, third-echelon Spiritual Object!

One couldn’t take much of such a Spiritual Object, or it would cause the grade of the entire Spiritual Spring’s Spiritual Qi to drop!

According to Marina’s memories, the Spiritual Spring of Aino City could only produce ten portions of Holy Spring Spirit Liquid every thirty years... It was truly precious!

’Good stuff!’

"An apology gift?"

"I accept."

Su Ye smiled and drew the jade vial to him with a flick of his power.

"Phew..."

Moluo let out a sigh of relief.

’It seems this Divine Son’s attitude is unclear, but at least he doesn’t intend to attack.’

This gave Bishop Moluo a glimmer of hope.

After all, he had struggled for half his life to finally become a bishop. He had endless glory, wealth, and privilege to enjoy. How could he be willing to let it all turn to dust with his death?

’As for the so-called "divine kingdom’s reception"... the lower ranks might not understand, but how could I not?’

"Esteemed Divine Son, if you are satisfied with the gift... would it be possible to release this barrier?" Moluo asked cautiously.

"Release the barrier? Of course..." Su Ye chuckled lightly.

Then, a hint of mockery appeared on his handsome face.

"No."

"After all, an old friend of yours misses you very much."

’An old friend?’

’What damn old friend?!’

Moluo cursed inwardly.

But at that moment, a voice that was both familiar and strange rang out by his ear.

"Moluo, it’s been a while."

Moluo frowned. He was a bit confused. That voice sounded very familiar?

But he couldn’t quite remember who it was.

TAP.

The sound of footsteps echoed.

The mist formed by the Array’s restrictions dissipated slightly.

A slender figure strolled out.

Moluo’s pupils contracted. A look of horror appeared on his face as he shrieked.

"Marina?!"

"Impossible! I saw you get swallowed by the Endless Sea of Mist with my own eyes..."

"Hmph..." Marina sneered.

"What, are you surprised?"

She walked out of the mist, her eyes filled with a bone-deep hatred, colder than ice.

"Haaah..." Moluo’s expression darkened as he took a deep breath.

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred!

Without another word, the two of them began to fight!

SWOOSH.

Emerald green vines, like long whips, shot out madly from Marina’s right hand!

On them grew leaves like tiny scythes, glinting with a cold light!

BUZZ!

Bishop Moluo’s body transformed, taking on an ebony-like state. He resembled a dried tree trunk, his Defense Power greatly increased!

The bladed whips, powerful enough to shatter a person’s head, only produced a dull thud when they struck him!

"Heh..."

"Marina, it looks like you haven’t improved at all, have you?!"

"With strength like this, you think you’re fit to serve the Divine Son?!"

"I am far superior to you!"

As Moluo suppressed Marina, he shot a sideways glance at Su Ye, using his actions to submit his resume.

In response, Su Ye’s expression remained calm. He leisurely propped his chin on his hand and watched the battlefield.

A cup of hot cocoa materialized in his hand as he patiently observed the fight.

Seeing this, Moluo felt reassured and pressed his attack.

"A mere Marina..."

A few minutes later, the victor was decided!

SCHLICK!

Moluo’s ebony body was sliced in two at the waist.

THUD.

The upper half of his body fell to the ground. The ebonization wore off, and he reverted to flesh and blood.

Blood gushed from his chest cavity, forming a pool.

"How... is this possible?!"

"You..." Moluo’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You old bastard, you think you’re so tough?"

"Tougher than a flying sword?!"

Marina let out a wild cry and burst into loud laughter.

She had wounds on her body and was bleeding, but her eyes burned with a fiery excitement!

And beside her, a stream of azure light floated and circled!

Indeed, Moluo’s strength was slightly greater than hers.

The formidable Defense Power of his ebonized body was a major counter to Marina, who lacked single-point attack power!

However, she had gear!

A Spiritual Artifact flying sword, a product of Weiyuan Immortal City!

’Repaid in installments over a fifteen-year loan!’

...

Having slain her enemy with her own hands, Marina felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Su Ye was also very satisfied and nodded to himself.

’Just as I thought. Having a subjugated native do the killing doesn’t increase my [World Rejection Level].’

Confirming his guess was very satisfying.

Next up was the Soul Search.

"My Lord, I have not failed my mission."

Marina knelt on one knee and presented the 0.5 Moluo to Su Ye.

"Well done..."

Su Ye nodded slightly, a silver light glowing in his eyes.

Soul Search technique!

Moluo’s memories flowed like a tide... freewebnøvel.coɱ

’Damn, why is this guy messing with little boys every day?!’

’His memories are full of...’

Su Ye cursed.

His brow furrowed, and with a strange expression, he mentally skipped past that part.

Finally.

After a long while.

After automatically skipping countless unsettling memory fragments interspersed with little boys...

Su Ye finally managed to obtain some useful information!

"’Five years ago, the statue inside the Fertile Pyramid shattered. The Goddess of Fertility fell. The temple was shaken and sealed off the news...’"

"’In the same year, Tewa Kan City declared war on Aino City... After losing their Divine Techniques, they suffered disastrous defeats in several major battles, and the war situation became extremely unfavorable...’"

"’Therefore, out of desperation, they chose to restart the [Divine Martial Contest] to use a Blood Sacrifice Elixir to cultivate the one sealed at the bottom of the pyramid...’"

"’A Divine Abomination?!’"

Su Ye’s expression changed slightly.
