Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3176: 655: Solo Venture into the Abyss (part 2)

Said the Sea God:

"Snow, I shall deploy my ultimate technique to momentarily ensnare the Stinging Snake Queen with the grand art of [Four Seas Return Heart]. You then utilize your ice and snow grand art to freeze it, and together, we shall seal it. Following that, we will both expend our divine power to obliterate it with an ancient divine artifact."

The Snow Goddess offered a nod and replied:

"Very well."

Grand arts are deemed forbidden spells among divine arts, as they exact a significant toll on one's power reserves.

Were it not for the Star Ancestor's insistent urging, the Sea God and the Snow Goddess, being evenly matched against the Stinging Snake Queen, would have been capable of engaging in combat for a millennium without achieving victory.

The Sea God commenced chanting incantations, and seawater began to surge from every direction.

Unable to evade, the Stinging Snake Queen found itself submerged, along with an untold number of insectoid beings.

"Quickly!"

The Sea God urged.

"Coming!"

The Snow Goddess also unleashed her grand art.

[Ice Age]!

However, the intended target was not the Stinging Snake Queen.

It was, in fact, the Sea God.

Crack.

As the sound of freezing accompanied the action, the Sea God was encased within a colossal iceberg.

Its eyes widened in disbelief, clearly taken aback by this turn of events.

It yearned to question the Snow Goddess, but the extreme cold arrested its very thoughts.

"Farewell."

The Snow Goddess transmuted into a streak of light and vanished from the battlefield.

The Sea God, now left to confront the Stinging Snake Queen alone, faced its wrath. The Queen conjured a fearsome tempest, guiding its dense swarm of insects to engulf the Sea God.

With a tremendous boom.

The Eight Desolate Halberd plummeted from the heavens, detonating and sending a shockwave that annihilated countless insects while simultaneously blasting the Stinging Snake Queen, cracking its tough exoskeleton.

From a distance.

The Snow Goddess cast a glance backward and remarked:

"That fellow is indeed resolute."

Deprived of the ancient divine artifact, the might of a powerful god is diminished by half.

The Sea God, who should have made its escape, was no longer perceived as a threat.

It lacked the opportunity to pursue its foe.

Instead, its course was set towards the Ice and Snow Divine Country.

...

At a considerable distance.

Having fled for an unknown duration, the Sea God finally evaded the Stinging Snake Queen's pursuit, its complexion ashen, its cultivation realm teetering on the brink of descending from the Level 10 Late Stage.

Its once-vast Water Divine Power had dwindled to less than sixty percent.

"Ahhh! Infernal Snow Goddess, you treacherous wretch!"

The Sea God was bordering on madness.

A sudden realization struck it.

This Heavenly Chopping battle was starkly different from previous encounters.

Every participant was a potential traitor!

Consequently, it no longer knew whom it could trust. The predicament was that, amidst this pervasive chaos, the astral world lacked the capacity to identify these betrayers.

Not long thereafter, the Star Ancestor received intelligence that the Snow Goddess had also committed treason.

The elder seethed with fury for a second time!

The betrayal by Power Dragon could still be comprehended, as an outsider, after all.

However, the Snow Goddess was among the very first generation of powerful gods to materialize.

A true daughter of the divine pantheon.

What a lamentable display of disloyalty, what utter lack of filial piety!

Under these dire circumstances.

The Sea God could no longer afford to be concerned with trivial matters.

It set its sights on its own Divine Domain.

Abruptly, a sense of unease washed over it, an instinctive prickle of danger. It narrowly dodged a bolt of golden light, only to collide with another.

Crack.

Its Divine Power Barrier vibrated violently.

This dramatically altered its demeanor.

Even with its diminished strength, it remained a formidable deity.

Could the assailant possess comparable power?

In mere moments, golden projectiles crisscrossed the space from all directions, each imbued with killing intent. Aware of the lethal potential of the golden light, the Sea God dared not face them directly, evading with frantic desperation.

"Curses! Had my Eight Desolate Halberd still been functional, why would I find myself in such a pathetic state?"

The Sea God was consumed by internal grief and rage.

"Who dares to launch a sneak attack upon me?"

It bellowed towards its surroundings.

The Sea of Ruins expanded, and beams of white and purple light ascended towards the heavens. An elderly, venerable man clad in white robes, wielding the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, and a purple-robed youth with violet hair, standing atop the Ice and Fire Pagoda, descended with casual grace.

"Chaos Body Sect's Gandalf!"

"Sky Craftsmen's Ace!"

The two introduced themselves, their auras resonating at the Level 10 Early Stage.

The Sea God's expression contorted in shock.

"The Gondor Three Heroes?"

It was widely known that the Three Heroes were an inseparable unit.

The recent golden lights must have been Lord Victor's doing.

But where was he?

Why could it not sense his presence at all?

Beneath the astral world.

Within a pitch-black void, Lord Victor sat in a cross-legged posture.

Behind him, seven stars aligned, and the Star Sword Tower drew upon the essence of golden elements from a million miles around, channeling it into Victor's minuscule golden sword.

The small sword moved with unpredictable grace, traversing in and out of the astral world.

The reason the Sea God could not detect Victor was precisely because he was enacting spells within the human realm, breaching dimensional boundaries to strike the Sea of Ruins.

Within the Sea of Ruins.

Behind Gandalf, the spectral forms of the Ancient God of Chaos manifested.

The Divine Dragon of the Eastern Pole lay coiled upon the Ice and Fire Pagoda, its draconic aura proving utterly unconquerable.

"Attack!"

Over the past several decades, the Gondor Three Heroes had tested their prowess against numerous lesser deities, vanquishing them with effortless ease.

By Levi's command, they initiated a covert operation targeting the following divine beings:

The Sea God, the Lady of the Lake, and the Amethyst Saint.

The first two deities had refined primordial artifacts, which were precisely the components needed for Elena's ascent to legendary status. The Amethyst Saint, on the other hand, was a long-standing adversary of Nora.

Furthermore, one of them was a cherished companion of the Holy Infant, to whom the latter held a profound attachment.

This ancient entity had managed to cling to existence for millennia under the safeguard of the astral realm.

However, the moment of retribution had finally arrived.

As for Father and the Blood Fire Dominator, both regarded as gods of the Star Realm Four Emperors caliber, the current capabilities of the Three Avatars would, at best, suffice for a stalemate; victory was improbable.

Levi intended to confront them personally.

Initially, the Sea God underestimated the threat posed by two cultivators at the Level 10 Early Stage, believing them to be insignificant.

Yet, the moment the engagement commenced, it became starkly evident that they had stumbled upon formidable opponents.

Gandalf, drenched in effervescent golden divine blood, was enveloped in a luminous golden radiance, resembling an unyielding Buddha.

The Sea God's conventional divine techniques were met with Gandalf's sheer physical might. Only exceptionally potent divine arts forced Gandalf into evasive maneuvers.
