He knew that this place could no longer trap the strongest totem user in history, but his constant pursuit of revenge had ultimately caused an unimaginable amount of damage to the Obscuro Society. In the past year or so, a large number of Obscuro Society's Silver Totems had destroyed the blood pool in order to save Hellgate, one after another, without any regard for their own safety.
In their battle with the Nest Leader, both sides suffered heavy casualties, which resulted in the endless sea of corpses on the red plains.
Without the highest leader, and with the main commander being held back by the Eternal Night Palace, the Obscuro Society had suffered heavy losses this time. In a situation where both sides did not have the strongest combat power, the Nest Leader had a huge advantage.
This was also the first step of the revenge plan that the Divine God Palace Master had finally hatched after obtaining enough Living Secret Techniques.
With the cooperation of the Ender King, he personally appeared to lure Hellgate, and set up the blood pool in advance. After Hellgate entered the inner world, he was able to control and interfere with his entry and exit points. Too many people were involved in this huge plan.
However, it only blocked Hellgate in the inner world, temporarily unable to return. Furthermore, it was only for a year.
Such a result …
*****
Kovitan Kingdom.
Over a year's time, this place had completely changed.
Garon was in seclusion in the sea abyss, while Ivycius and Skyharp were guarding the place. All the matters of the Black Swamp Palace were discussed and settled by the elders, while Demon Phoenix and the other elders who had just joined were living a comfortable life.
As the tribe's White Knights and Little Princess who were rescued by Garon from the plains, they formed a new force after joining the Black Swamp Palace. The leader of the White Knights, White Wind, improved rapidly, and had the potential to cultivate the Black Water True Technique. Coupled with the refinement of his Secret Techniques, his strength actually broke through to Form Four, and he formed the White Wind Knights that were most loyal to Garon. It was a stark contrast to the Black Knights of the Four Directions Sky Generals. After they gained strength, they originally planned to go to their hometown for revenge, but unfortunately, their enemy had completely left the place, and no one knew where he was.
Demon Phoenix and the others ate, drank, and played all day long, living a comfortable life. Occasionally, they would go to the North Sea to check on Garon's situation. These people were brought out by Garon from a young age, and although they had reached the point where they could not bear to leave this world, their respect for Garon was still buried deep in their hearts. Even in the face of other people trying to rope him in, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
Only Demon Phoenix and the others were the ones who knew Garon the best in the entire Black Swamp Palace. In the past year or so, she had completely recovered to the middle level of Form Five, but every time she faced Garon, she still felt breathless.
As for the rest of the forces in the Kingdom, while the Black Swamp Palace kept their claws and fangs and recuperated, the Three Great Leaders gathered a large number of Totem Users and civilians who sought refuge in the outside world, and started to build two cities outside the Sanctuary.
The First Princess's construction was finally revealed. The Towers of Dawn, the five Towers of Dawn built in her territory, had the powerful ability to gather totem power and shoot it from thousands of miles away. It also had a certain amplification effect. This would increase the strength of the totem users in her territory by about 10%.
This was a terrifying increase. On the side, it also revealed that the First Princess definitely had a top totem workshop master under her command. He definitely had the support of Grand Duke Benoc.
As for Grand Duke Cody, he focused all his efforts on the construction of the new city, and gathered a large group of normal forgers to build a super weapon called the Kars Cannon on the outer wall of the city.
This weapon used the totem light of fifty totem users as its source of power, and could instantly explode with a terrifying amount of power. It was said to be the invention of a young genius forger who escaped to Kovitan, so this cannon was named after him.
As for the alliance of guild leaders, after absorbing a large number of foreign totem users, there seemed to be an internal conflict of interest. Among them, several large forces fell apart in the conflict, and the regime changed. In the end, they became weaker and weaker, and almost fell out of the Four Great Leaders' seats.
Through Demon Phoenix, Garon wasn't completely isolated from the world during this time, and was aware of the general changes in the situation.
As for the other forces in the Kingdom, Garon didn't pay much attention to them. This information was only because he was too close, and the Black Swamp Palace wasn't involved, so he knew a little more.
But compared to the incident in Daniela, this wasn't the main point. Among the countless news, the one that made Garon's heart jump the most wasn't the news of Phiroth, who had died in battle. It came from the world's largest commoner's fort that Daniela had once built — the Heart of Life.
There was a large-scale epidemic in the Heart of Life, and before the news spread, more than a hundred thousand people had already died inside! In the beginning, the epidemic was forbidden to spread, but at this point, it couldn't be hidden anymore, and the situation had reached an extremely critical point.
The scariest thing was, not only did this epidemic have a 100% death rate, it also turned the dead into a type of zombie-like monster. This monster's goal was to hunt the living, and wandered everywhere. Even if its head and heart were completely smashed, it could still live for a few days.
This made Garon vaguely think of the zombies he met before entering the mysterious Serenity. The surroundings of the capital of that small country were filled with these strange zombies.
Vaguely, he felt that this epidemic was very likely related to Serenity.
And Serenity was caused by the black copper phenomenon caused by the black copper, and the source of the black copper phenomenon was very likely Hellgate.
At this point, the situation had completely deviated from the original history.
Hellgate was temporarily missing, and the Divine God Palace Master was also missing without any news.
The three regions had formed a temporary alliance, and united to form a large force. Their territories were flourishing, and had become the largest and most ideal living stronghold outside of Ender and the Sanctuary.
*****
At the bottom of the pitch-black abyss, a cold blue light flickered slightly, faintly illuminating the surrounding deep sea area.
In the endless deep sea abyss, there was a huge group of icicles that were hundreds of meters tall standing in the huge trench. Among the icicles, there were countless sharp icicles that stood erect, like countless transparent and slightly black spears.
In the center, there was a huge icicle that was more than ten meters thick, and it was the source of the cold blue light.
In front of the icicle was a flat land of ice.
Because it was in the middle of the trench on both sides, the seawater was frozen into ice by the extreme cold, and the entire bottom of the trench was completely filled with ice, forming a huge iceberg that filled the trench.
The entire iceberg was slightly black and translucent, and behind the cold blue light in the center, in the huge icicle, there was a slender blonde man that was frozen in the ice, motionless, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was in deep sleep, but also as if he was looking at everything in front of him.
On the flat land of ice in front of the icicle, there was a handsome man with long white hair sitting cross-legged. He was wearing a white robe, with a silver-black belt around his waist, and a white longsword on his knees.
"How does it feel to break through?" A hollow man's voice came from the ice, as if it was in the spacious hall, with a faint ethereal echo.
Ivycius gently held the hilt of the sword on his knees, and shook his head slightly.
"If I didn't guard here personally, and observe the effects of your surrounding Secret Techniques, I wouldn't have been able to enter Form 5 so quickly. The time I originally estimated was still not enough. "
"Then only a top genius like you can see the pattern of the Secret Techniques' changes from these traces." Garon said calmly in the icicle.
Ivycius didn't comment. During this time, after marrying Skyharp, they had been guarding this abyss under the sea, and the powerhouses of Black Swamp Palace and Seven Night Tower had built a simple underwater residence here.
But before the residence could be finished, the builders were forced to retreat by the terrifying cold air on Garon's body that was getting stronger by the day.
Ivycius, Skyharp, and Garon had spent this time together, and the three of them had a rare tacit understanding.
Ivycius was a person who abided by his own principles, he took the initiative to stay and guard Garon, and didn't give up just because the Dragon Demon's Binding was released. The Dragon Demon's Binding didn't restrict him much.
In fact, Garon had never forced him to do anything, and the two of them were just normal friends. To the two of them, the Dragon Demon's Binding didn't change anything.
"The Life Heart is moving again, Ender has entered the finals. How's the situation here? "Ivycius asked softly.
"It's still going well." Garon didn't go into detail.
The two of them fell into silence, and in this day, silence was the most common mode of interaction, the two of them were immersed in their own worlds.
Garon retracted his mind, and focused on the Living Secret Techniques in his body again.
The two Living Secret Techniques had mostly merged, and the Black Water True Technique had reached the final stage of dispersing. Because the two Living Secret Techniques were forcefully tearing each other apart, they had absorbed all of the will and merged power as nutrients, and now only the last bit of the Nine Life Talent was left.
The Nine Life Talent was the core ability of the Nine-Headed Hydra, and under the circumstances of greatly slowing down the speed, it was already very rare for it to be able to last this long. But at this point, it was impossible to avoid a complete decomposition.
And the two Living Secret Technique seeds in his body, under the circumstances of absorbing external nutrients for a long time, had already grown to an extremely large and pure level.
After a long period of body operation and fusion, Garon's body had completely adapted to the intensity of the Living Secret Techniques' operation. As the two Secret Techniques merged further, the transformation of Garon's body became more and more uniform, and the conflicts became less and less.
"Soon … Soon … Soon, I'll be able to truly touch upon the mystery of the Living Secret Techniques …"
Until now, he had actually not truly inherited the Living Secret Techniques. One was the conflict between the two Secret Techniques, and the most troublesome thing was that only after the complete transformation would the true Secret Technique training information be transmitted.
Once the Living Secret Technique was mastered, it could break through the limit and reach the peak. This was the general consensus among the peak powerhouses.
The merging of the two Secret Techniques might not necessarily bring about a good change, but from the looks of it now, it wasn't too bad. Although many parts of the conflict were abandoned, the seeds that were left behind still had an extremely terrifying aura fluctuation.
After receiving the inheritance, with the Black Water True Technique and the huge accumulation of the Living Secret Techniques, Garon was completely confident that he could reach an extremely high level in a short period of time. After all, he also had an extremely high level of Secret Technique.
