Gu Qijue was very interested in the Nan Heng Sea. It was in an abyssal trench of the Nan Heng Sea that he acquired the Blood Dragon God's inheritance.

Although he didn't know why the Blood Dragon God chose that place as a burial ground.

But since the aftermath of the previous battle caused a new underwater trench to appear in the Nan Heng Sea, he naturally wanted to take a look.

This time, Gu Qijue brought along his two adopted sons and an adopted daughter, heading to the Nan Heng Sea together.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at an underwater trench.

The Merfolk Emperor, the Black Flood Dragon Emperor, and the Water Spirit Emperor, the three overlords of the Nan Heng Sea, and the only three Demigods of the Dragon Blood Demon Race in the Nan Heng Sea, were already there.

When they saw Gu Qijue and his party of four approaching, the three emperors of the Merfolk all bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Leader, and the three Highnesses."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qijue waved his hand, indicating that the three shouldn't be too formal.

He then said to the three emperors, "Have you discovered anything here?"

All three of the Merfolk Emperors shook their heads, "Your Excellency, we only discovered that this underwater trench is very deep."

"We dived for a long time and still found nothing."

"We can only feel a rather unique Demigod aura, but besides that, there's nothing else."

After the Merfolk Emperor spoke, both the Black Flood Dragon Emperor and the Water Spirit nodded.

Like the Merfolk Emperor, they had not found anything special in this location.

Moreover, they had an uneasy feeling after diving a certain distance.

Seeing that the three had no special discoveries, Gu Qijue immediately said:

"In that case, you stand guard above while I go down to take a look."

The three emperors of the Merfolk bowed in unison, "As you command, Your Excellency!"

Gu Qijue didn't delay any longer and directly dived down with Gu Yinling, Gu Xiaoyu, and Gu Chitong.

This underwater trench seemed to have always existed.

It's just that for some unknown reason, it had been concealed before, but now it was fully revealed.

After diving for a moment, Gu Qijue confirmed that there wasn't just a Demigod aura here, but an actual Divine Spirit.

"There is a Divine Spirit below; I don't know what the situation is."

"You three go back up and wait for me; I'll go down to have a look."

Gu Yinling and the others bowed in unison, "As you command!"

After saying that, Gu Chitong added, "Father, I want to go with you."

His situation was somewhat special.

On the surface, he is at the Peak of Demigod, but at full power, he can battle a Divine Spirit.

It's perfectly reasonable to consider him a Divine Level combatant.

Upon hearing Gu Chitong speak, Gu Qijue nodded, "Alright, you come with me."

Hearing this, Gu Chitong was very happy and immediately transformed into the form of a Blood Dragon.

In the Blood Dragon state, his power was just slightly weaker than the Moon God, and at full power, he could match wits with her.

Gu Yinling and Gu Xiaoyu, their power was still a bit weak, so the two could only obediently return to the top of the underwater trench.

Though their power wasn't that weak—one was a Demigod and the other was a Great Emperor.

But compared to Gu Qijue and Gu Chitong, their power was somewhat lacking.

Gu Qijue took the Blood Dragon-transformed Gu Chitong and continued diving down.

As they got closer, they felt two Divine Spirits' presence.

Below, there were actually two Divine Spirits.

However, after diving a certain distance, Gu Qijue's vision and perception were completely obscured.

A massive black barrier appeared before him.

This barrier emitted a strange, eerie light.

In an instant, Gu Qijue transformed into his second combat form, a Blood Spear appearing in his hand.

This place was clearly not simple.

And there were two Divine Spirits below, so he couldn't be careless.

After preparing, Gu Qijue and Gu Chitong entered the barrier.

Upon entering the barrier, Gu Qijue immediately realized something was wrong.

This place seemed like a trap!

He attempted to return the way he came, only to discover that he couldn't get out.

He didn't know who set up this place; it was a dangerous zone where one could enter but not leave.

Although the barrier was pitch black, the space inside was bright.

Gu Qijue looked below and saw two Divine Spirits.

One of the Divine Spirits was a goddess whose hands and feet were pierced by some golden awls, pinning her firmly to the ground.

Not only her hands and feet but other parts of her body were also pierced by these golden awls, completely imprisoning her.

There were nine of these golden awls in total.

Opposite this goddess was another Divine Spirit.

This Divine Spirit had a humanoid upper body and the lower body of a giant spider.

He was originally bound by many chains, but when Gu Qijue and Gu Chitong appeared there.

Only one of the six chains binding him remained intact.

And coincidentally, that last chain was bitten off by him.

Once the Evil-Slaying Divine Spirit was freed, he looked at Gu Qijue, Gu Chitong, and the immobilized goddess on the ground with a chilling and brutal gaze.

The Celestial Zither Goddess had been extremely desperate, as she was pinned by the Nine Dragon Golden Awls and couldn't escape.

During the tens of thousands of years she was imprisoned here, the Evil-Slaying kept telling her how he would treat her once he got free.

To avoid being humiliated by him, she even considered self-destruction.

But her luck was good because a miracle happened at this crucial moment.

Even though just two Peak of Demigod powerhouses had arrived, as long as they could remove the golden awls from her, all three of them could survive.

The Celestial Zither Goddess immediately spoke anxiously, "This Evil-Slaying is a madman. Help me remove the golden awls from my body, and the three of us will fight him together."

"Otherwise, all three of us will die in this place."

After she finished speaking, Gu Qijue shook his head.

This made the Celestial Zither Goddess anxious; she quickly continued, "What I said is true. Evil-Slaying is indeed a madman; he will definitely kill us."

Gu Qijue nodded this time, "I believe you. I believe he's a madman, but there's no need to trouble ourselves."

Just as the word trouble left his mouth, Evil-Slaying leapt, brandishing a Bone Spear, and charged at him.

Facing Evil-Slaying's full-strength attack, Gu Qijue's Blood Spear also shot out fiercely.

Even though his aura was only at the Peak of Demigod in this state, after he made his move.

Evil-Slaying and the Celestial Zither were dumbfounded that his spear strike was even stronger than Evil-Slaying's attack!

"Clang!"

The Blood Spear and the Bone Spear collided fiercely.

The earth-shattering terrifying force instantly sent Evil-Slaying flying.

This led Evil-Slaying to decisively begin burning his Divine Power to unleash his full combat strength.
