Chapter 460: 446 Sea God_1
Because of Xu Qingtian, Xu Shi Yun, and Xu Yichen's presence, Chu Qin naturally couldn't stay in the same tent with the women, afraid he couldn't restrain himself and cause some undesirable noises.
Chu Qin only allowed Gu Yuena to share a tent with him.
After all, Chu Qin needed to research some special items.
Thus, Longhuang (Dragon Phoenix), Qian Renxue, and Lan Jing'er somewhat reluctantly shared a tent while Chu Qin, taking Gu Yuena with him, opened his own tent and settled in.
Chu Qin quickly sat down cross-legged and took out the red God Crystal.
"I knew it, you wanted to research it!" Gu Yuena said with a smile as she watched Chu Qin.
"Na'er, how do you use this?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.
"I'm not exactly sure, after all, it's something of the gods," Gu Yuena replied. "However, you can try infusing it with Soul Power to see if anything changes."
"Hmm, that's what I was thinking," Chu Qin nodded.
No sooner said than done, Chu Qin placed the God Crystal in the palm of his hand and then infused it with Soul Power.
However, the God Crystal only shuddered slightly, then remained motionless.
"It seems... useless!" Chu Qin frowned slightly and said, "Is my Soul Power not enough?"
"It's possible, Soul Power and Divine Power are different," Gu Yuena nodded and replied. "Also, it's possible that this God Crystal has a certain seal or authority applied to it."
"This is too much trouble, let's not bother with it anymore!"
Chu Qin shook his head and said with a slight smile.
Just as Chu Qin was about to give up, the core of the Sea God's Trident's handle, which was planted next to the campsite and was also the Boundless Universe Shield, burst into light.
The next second, the dull red God Crystal in front of Chu Qin suddenly radiated dazzling light.
"Na'er, what is happening!" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise.
"Was that power from someone in the Divine Realm intervening just now?" Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes narrowed as she thought to herself.
"What's wrong, Na'er?" Chu Qin asked with confusion.
"Nothing!" Gu Yuena replied with a smile. "It seems that the God Crystal must have been activated by your Soul Power, just with some delay!"
Gu Yuena clearly lied, as she had sensed power from the Divine Realm.
"Na'er, don't lie to me!" Chu Qin seemed to see through Gu Yuena's thoughts.
"I'm not lying to you!" Gu Yuena said with a light smile, her heart, however, tensed silently.
Chu Qin guessed that Gu Yuena was certainly hiding something, but her unwillingness to speak indicates that the matter was somewhat complicated.
Moreover, Chu Qin had also sensed the anomaly from the Sea God's Trident. He speculated that Gu Yuena's hidden concerns might be related to the Sea God.
However, Chu Qin felt it was unlikely. Gu Yuena had not revealed her power, so the Sea God couldn't possibly discover her!
Chu Qin chose not to press further and turned to say, "Na'er, then what should I do?"
"Now that the authority of the God Crystal has been broken, it's much simpler. Just absorb the power within it as you would with a Soul Power Inner Pill," Gu Yuena said with a smile. "However, Divine Power is not like Soul Power, you should try to absorb it bit by bit at the beginning."
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, Sea God's Hall.
A pair of eyes as deep as ocean trenches slowly opened.
The man was clad in splendid armor, holding a golden trident, sitting upon a high-backed King's Throne. He looked to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, strikingly handsome and appealing.
This man was none other than the Sea God; however, this was his Divine Realm form, which differed somewhat from the aged phantom Chu Qin had seen.
Just now, it was he who aided Chu Qin in breaking the God Crystal's authority.
"Hmm, there seems to be a terrifying creature beside Chu Qin!" the Sea God murmured to himself.
As he spoke, the Sea God slowly stood up, wondering, "What could it be?"
"It could be the remnant aura left by the Asura God. It might also be something else, given that the place where Chu Qin is located is no longer Soul Land?" the Sea God muttered, "But it seems that, through the darkness, I can sense a presence that threatens the Divine Realm?"
"Forget it. The peril of the Divine Realm can be guarded by those five; what does it have to do with me?" the Sea God continued to speak to himself, "I should hurry and let this lad Chu Qin inherit my divine position so that I can travel the universe with the Sun Goddess!"
"Hehe!" Thinking of this, the Sea God revealed a sly smile, then cleared his throat and put on a serious tone, "This kid has good fortune, to actually obtain a First-level God Crystal! With this thing, the path to inheriting a divine position should be much smoother for him, right?"
"Speaking of which, this Chu Qin fellow is really not bad. In him, I see the potential of a Supreme God! I absolutely can't let that little Asura God King snatch him away from me!"
"Right, absolutely not!"
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Tomb.
"You know your place, Sea God!" Gu Yuena thought to herself. As she spoke, Gu Yuena cast a sweet gaze toward Chu Qin beside her.
Chu Qin, following Gu Yuena's instructions, drew a thread of energy from within the God Crystal into his body.
It was just a thread, but the moment it entered his body, Chu Qin felt as if he was about to burst open.
"Na'er, why does it feel a bit off?" exclaimed Chu Qin, slightly alarmed, "The Divine Power isn't fusing well with the Soul Power within my body."
"Of course, they don't blend well!" Gu Yuena responded, "I've already told you, Divine Power and Soul Power are two different forces. But don't worry, your body can at least withstand a third of the power from the God Crystal. This amount of power is nothing for you!"
"Alright!" Chu Qin naturally followed Gu Yuena's words; after all, she was his dearest love and the one who loved him the most. Gu Yuena would never let Chu Qin undertake such perilous actions.
True to Gu Yuena's words, as time passed, the initial sensation of bursting that Chu Qin felt slowly dissipated.
However, when the Divine Power entered his body, it did not directly transform into Divine Power, but rather dissolved on top of his Soul Power. As if Chu Qin's body was a vessel of red liquid, and now some green liquid had been mixed in, creating a unique energy after the two combined!
At the same time, Chu Qin's body radiated a golden light.
This light made Chu Qin look as though he was set ablaze.
"No human has ever fused with the power of gods before!" Gu Yuena looked at Chu Qin, untroubled, "But Chu Qin, you definitely can. After all, you have already become one with the Asura God Sword and Sea God's Trident. In other words, your body contains the Divine Power of Asura and the Sea God!"
Chu Qin's body was enveloped in the light for a good half Shi Chen.
By now, Chu Qin had absorbed a large amount of energy from the God Crystal!
Eventually, with a surge of powerful energy, the excess energy within Chu Qin's body erupted forth in torrents, rushing out from his being.
Of course, under Chu Qin's control, this surge of energy did not impact the surrounding objects, but the desert a hundred miles away suffered. Swept up by this tremendous energy, the desert transformed into a giant sandstorm.
"How do you feel?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Having absorbed one-third of the energy from the God Crystal, I feel a bit different!" replied Chu Qin with a smile.
"One-third?" Gu Yuena chuckled.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qin frowned slightly.
"Chu Qin, you underestimate these gods. Although their moral character isn't great, one can't deny that their strength is no weaker than our Dragon Clan. The energy you absorbed, it's not even one-thirtieth!" said Gu Yuena.
