Around this large seashell, apart from some small larvae, there were no enormous carnivorous creatures. Even the most powerful sea monsters kept their distance, not daring to approach this area.
Come to think of it, although this seashell doesn't look like a powerful being, it still possesses the energy of a newly ascended deity, and is definitely not something those sea monsters can afford to provoke.
Xiao Wenbing was increasingly pleased with the item; it was a bit large, but incredibly beautiful. If he were to take it and give it to Yaqi and Baiyi, it would surely be a delightful surprise for them.
Having made up his mind, he activated his divine power, and the area within thirty meters of him immediately collapsed.
It was as if he were a black hole, emitting an endless suction force that was drawing everything in.
At this point, even the most oblivious giant clam realized something was wrong.
The pair of large seashells opened slightly, and a tremendous life force surged forth from them. First, a surge of seawater began to churn, and gradually, more and more seawater churned, and the force it generated grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming an underwater whirlpool.
Xiao Wenbing secretly praised the monster, thinking that it was indeed quite capable, having created a reverse suction source to counteract its own.
If it were just a matter of its own strength, Xiao Wenbing would naturally be superior to it, but to absorb it into its own divine domain would require considerable effort.
With a thought, countless points of light appeared out of nowhere in the air. As soon as these points of light appeared in the water, they immediately exuded a powerful and majestic oppressive force.
All living beings within a radius of 100,000 miles simultaneously felt this powerful pressure.
Those creatures with great power and wisdom naturally sensed the changes here and knew that a powerful being had come to challenge the king of this sea.
They were naturally not to be trifled with, so some wagged their tails, some shook their long whiskers, and some sprayed ink, all the powerful creatures desperately fleeing into the distance.
As for those creatures lacking power, upon sensing the struggle between Xiao Wenbing and the giant seashell, they immediately lowered their bodies, remaining quietly in place, not daring to move an inch.
This is a concrete manifestation of the survival of the fittest in the biological world. In the face of the strongest, those who are not strong enough can only run away, while those who are even weaker do not even have the right to escape.
A tiny glimmer of light appeared on the seabed. For this beautiful seashell of unknown origin, Xiao Wenbing had already given up all his possessions.
Five thousand Heavenly Dao Divine Swords filled the entire space within a radius of thirty feet, subtly sealing off all paths of the giant seashell.
These five thousand divine swords combined possess the power of fifty super artifacts. Although they did not directly attack the giant seashell, the pressure they exuded was enough to prevent the giant seashell from making any rash moves.
Perhaps feeling the overwhelming pressure, the giant seashell closed tightly, and the whirlpool in the sea, having lost its source of power, gradually dissipated.
Xiao Wenbing laughed heartily, surprised that this guy was quite sensible. With a thought, he opened his divine domain, intending to move it closer to his own divine domain.
However, after a while, he was dismayed to find that although he had been sucking in a lot of seawater and sand, and even some small fish and shrimp had been caught in the crossfire, his main target remained completely still.
He was greatly surprised and unleashed his divine power, wrapping the large seashell layer by layer. However, he soon discovered that no matter how hard he tried, the seashell seemed as heavy as a mountain and did not float up at all.
As his divine sense gradually unfolded, Xiao Wenbing finally discovered the strangeness of the matter.
This seashell doesn't seem very big or heavy. But it possesses some special ability that allows it to blend into the entire ocean.
Therefore, unless Xiao Wenbing takes this entire underworld into the divine realm, there is no way to capture it.
Although Xiao Wenbing's divine power was incredibly strong, it was absolutely impossible for him to contain this entire realm.
Enraged, the light emanating from the five thousand Heavenly Dao Divine Swords gradually intensified, showing signs of coalescing. Once these swords merged, they would possess the immense power of fifty super artifacts attacking simultaneously. No matter how powerful this seashell was, it would have no chance of survival under such a powerful onslaught.
When the five thousand Heavenly Dao Divine Swords gradually coalesced into one, the powerful, tangible pressure was something that no creature could withstand; at least this giant seashell clearly couldn't.
Xiao Wenbing could even sense its pleading. It seemed that this creature knew that if Xiao Wenbing really went all in, it would be doomed.
With a slight, cold laugh, Xiao Wenbing conveyed his meaning through telepathy. His request was simple: he wanted the giant seashell to enter the Divine Realm.
However, this creature clearly possessed great intelligence, knowing that once it entered Xiao Wenbing's divine realm, it would truly become a fish on a chopping board, completely at his mercy. Therefore, no matter how Xiao Wenbing threatened or intimidated it, it simply refused to submit obediently.
With his brows furrowed, a divine sword radiating brilliant light hung high above his head, its blade enveloping the giant seashell. With a single strike, no matter how powerful the creature might be, it would be pulverized, leaving not even a trace behind.
However, Fang Mingwei hesitated for a long time before finally deciding not to actually do such a terrible thing.
This seashell had cultivated for countless years, its entire body radiating an exceptionally beautiful seven-colored light. In all its history, only the mirage gifted by the Lonely God could compare. It would be a great disappointment to destroy it in my hands.
However, he was unwilling to let this guy go.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the Heavenly Void Ring, and the Mirror God appeared, saying, "What are you dawdling about? Why aren't you going to join them?"
Xiao Wenbing pointed to the large seashell surrounded by sword light below and said, "Mirror God, do you know this guy?"
The Mirror God looked down for a long time, then said in surprise, "You're really lucky; you even encountered such a divine object."
Xiao Wenbing's spirits lifted, and he asked, "You know about it?"
"Of course I know. This thing is the most favored divine creature of the sea god. I thought that when the sea god left this world, he had taken them all with him. I didn't expect that there would still be one left here."
Is this guy even useful?
"It's not very useful, but it obtained the essence of the sea god's power, so as long as it's in the water, it's immortal."
Xiao Wenbing suddenly realized that it possessed the divine power of the sea god. No wonder this seashell could merge itself with the entire ocean.
"I'd like to add it to the divine realm, is that possible?"
After a moment's thought, he said, "Force definitely won't work. Why don't you try using your good looks to seduce it?"
"Nonsense." Xiao Wenbing glared at him and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll let you seduce it. Maybe the Mirror of Beauty plan will succeed."
The Mirror God gave an awkward smile and said, "Alright, do you still have the old turtle's saliva on you? Give it a few drops, and it should be able to come with you."
Xiao Wenbing was overjoyed and quickly took out the jade bottle. With a thought, two drops of milky white liquid, enveloped by divine power, slowly moved towards the large seashell.
The large clam suddenly opened its two hard shells and, with lightning speed, absorbed the two drops of liquid inside.
Xiao Wenbing tried to use his divine power to guide it, and this time it went exceptionally smoothly. The giant seashell was sucked into the divine realm without any resistance.
Volume 23, Chapter 18: Dragon
------------------------
Looking at the giant seashell lying quietly in the divine realm, Xiao Wenbing sighed inwardly. The Mirror God was truly an omniscient being, even knowing about such a monster.
Now that they have entered their own divine domain, the monsters' resistance has been greatly reduced.
Xiao Wenbing tried to send out a friendly divine thought, but after a while, the large seashell did not reciprocate with the same friendly aura, but it also did not seem to want to antagonize him.
Slightly taken aback, what was going on? Just now it had taken the initiative to send a message begging for mercy, but why, now that it was in my hands, did it not even respond with a friendly message?
With a slight frown, Xiao Wenbing continuously channeled his divine sense into the other's body, trying to detect its mental fluctuations.
Since this guy hasn't cultivated a human form and doesn't seem to be able to speak, the only way to understand each other is through mental communication.
A tiny bit of divine thought was transmitted into the other party's body through divine power, and gradually, Xiao Wenbing's expression became strange.
"What's wrong?" Mirror God, who was standing to the side, asked hurriedly.
"This thing is asleep."
"What?"
"Not only is it asleep, but it's sleeping very soundly." Xiao Wenbing chuckled. "It's unbelievable that such a life form with such poor vigilance can live so comfortably in the underworld. Isn't it afraid that I'll just cook it up?"
The Mirror God thought for a moment and said, "I understand. It wasn't carelessness, but rather that apart from you, there is actually no living being in the Underworld that can harm it."
"Oh." Xiao Wenbing was greatly surprised and said, "Aren't there any super monsters in the underworld comparable to gods?"
Since he arrived in the God Realm, he had spoken with Lord Yuzhu several times and learned that among all the gods in the God Realm, there were no deities from the special place of the Underworld.
For some reason, all beings from the underworld are unable to become gods.
Just like its own roc, because it is a divine bird of the underworld, it is still unable to cultivate divine power. However, although it cannot cultivate its own divine power, its cultivation level is much higher than that of most gods.
As for why such a strange thing happened, not only Yu Zhu Shenjun, but even the Mirror God was baffled.
Perhaps the Lonely God and the Turtle God know the secret. However, the Lonely God is currently unreachable, and if one were to bother the Turtle God again for this matter, the old tortoise would likely give him a hard time.
Therefore, Xiao Wenbing simply couldn't believe that there wouldn't be any creatures in the underworld capable of threatening this guy.
"No matter how powerful the creatures here are, it's useless," the Mirror God said calmly. "The reason this thing is called the Sea God's Favor is because it has the innate ability to manipulate the ocean. Any creature that lives in the water will involuntarily obey its commands. Tell me, this place is all water, what could possibly harm it?"
"No way." Xiao Wenbing was even more puzzled. He asked, "If it can command all living beings, why didn't it summon helpers when I tried to capture it?"
The Mirror God was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he came up with nothing and, in a fit of anger and embarrassment, could only say, "Go ask it when it wakes up."
What if it doesn't say?
"Since it's already in your divine realm, you can mold it however you want. If it still refuses to talk by then... well, you can decide what to do."
Having said that, the Mirror God transformed into a beam of white light and entered the Heavenly Void Ring, refusing to come out again.
Xiao Wenbing chuckled and sent out his divine sense, remotely sensing Zhang Yaqi's location. Just as he was about to break through space and teleport there, he unexpectedly discovered that there was an inexplicable force in this space that was forcefully blocking the use of divine power.
His expression changed. The underworld was indeed fraught with danger. No wonder Keris refused to come and explore again after reaching the realm of gods.
With a slow flick of his finger, the divine sword that had fused into one suddenly shone with boundless light once more, illuminating every detail of the seabed within a radius of more than ten miles.
All the creatures within the light curled up, not daring to show any intention to resist or escape.
Fortunately, Xiao Wenbing's target was not them, otherwise no living creatures would have survived in this area of more than ten miles.
The light grew brighter and the divine power grew stronger. While trying to grasp the information from the small sword on Zhang Yaqi's body, Xiao Wenbing focused his mind on the divine sword that had merged into one with a thousand swords.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and with a swift movement, he gripped the sword hilt and slashed at the void before him.
This sword strike was incredibly powerful, carrying an immense and unbelievable amount of divine power, and it slammed heavily into the water in front of it.
Layer upon layer of binding power was severed by this powerful sword strike, and a black dot appeared three inches in front of the divine sword. As the divine power emanated from the sword, the black opening suddenly split open, revealing the scene inside.
A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Wenbing's lips. The combined power of five thousand Heavenly Dao Divine Swords was indeed extraordinary, capable of even breaking through the special forces that constituted the Underworld.
At this moment, he was full of confidence in his future. At the same time, he wondered what it would be like if he could condense ten thousand divine swords, each of which would be equivalent to a super artifact.
By then, even the Turtle God and the Lonely God would probably have to take a detour if they saw me...
※※※※
After being drawn into an unfamiliar space by the guiding spell, Zhang Yaqi immediately found herself separated from everyone. To her surprise, she couldn't sense anyone with her divine sense.
This means that either some force is hindering one's divine sense perception, or the distance between them is too great, or they are not even in the same realm.
She gently stroked the Qiankun Ring on her wrist, a faint five-colored light swirling around her. After a long while, she finally confirmed that a magical power did indeed exist in the Underworld, but this power would not render her divine sense ineffective.
A hint of worry appeared on her beautiful face. Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao Divine Sword in the Divine Realm trembled slightly, and Zhang Yaqi was overjoyed. Sure enough, a moment later, space cracked open, and Xiao Wenbing swaggered out.
"Yaqi, are you alright?"
"Of course we're alright. It's a good thing you mastered the Myriad Swords Technique. Otherwise, we would have really been separated this time," Zhang Yaqi said thankfully.
