Chapter 387: Spirit Martial Path, Sending Gold for a Thousand Miles
"Damn it, these despicable players, how dare they attack the noble deity," the Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon's eyes flashed with hatred. He had been killed by players more than once, but it was his special nature that enabled him to resurrect.
Yet, because of this, players became even more interested in him. For them, killing a deity meant a reward each time, the only drawback being that with each kill, the rewards from killing deities decreased.
This was because every time a deity was killed, their strength decreased upon resurrection.
However, every deity was proud and unmanageable. Although they couldn't defeat the players, it didn't prevent them from looking down on and despising them. In any case, even if they died and were cremated, they would still have the last word.
"We must seek cooperation with other deities, kill the Heavenly Emperor first, and then exterminate these cockroach-like players," the Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon despised players but respected Gu Shanhai as a fellow deity. However, he also knew that the reason all the deities were in such a miserable plight was because of Gu Shanhai.
"I must… What is that?" The Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon wanted to curse to vent his feelings, but suddenly noticed the sky darken, as if something was covering it.
Before he could react, he was dragged into a dim place.
"Not good, I've been tricked!" The Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon instantly realized he had been captured and immediately attempted to ascend to escape.
But in a disoriented state, he quickly fell down, then saw the sky filled with yellow sand and a red fog. Just two steps forward caused him to become dizzy.
His consciousness gradually sank.
"These little things have decreased so much in strength, it seems the players have truly turned these deities into bosses and have farmed them numerous times," Gu Shanhai looked at the significantly weakened Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon with some helplessness.
Fortunately, the decrease in strength didn't affect Gu Shanhai's ability to transform him into an embodiment of the natural world.
Nowadays, Gu Shanhai had been hunting deities alone. Three months prior, Wang Qi and others had completed their apprenticeship, taking the modified force devoid of logical outburst to subjugate the remaining forces of the Divine Alliance and many other forces.
The high ranks of the Divine Alliance had been destroyed nearly three years ago. In those three years, the players' revenge had already been exacted. Otherwise, how could only remnants of the Divine Alliance exist? Initially, the deities thought they were strong enough to confront the player's armies head-on.
The result was self-evident, each was beaten miserably like dogs. The better ones receded into the shadows after dying three to five times, while the weaker ones were captured and killed more than seventeen or eighteen times.
Of course, now, the player's main forces had already withdrawn. In reality, the players' retribution only lasted about a month, and much of that time was spent plundering the wealth of various forces in the Azure Seas, leaving after they had scavenged everything. Occasionally, players still entered to farm.
The situation was somewhat calm now, occasionally witnessing unfortunate deities like the Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon.
The Ten-winged Sea Demon Dragon was treated as a boss to be farmed mainly because he looked too cool, like a boss that would drop good loot—of course, that was just a rumor.
The force devoid of logical outburst was transformed by Gu Shanhai into a mundane cultivation practice, which guided the orderly growth of this internal power as a basis for strengthening.
Then, using this as a foundation, it branched out to form schools like Sword Intent, Blade Intent, and Fist Intent. Gu Shanhai did not perfect much, because this thing only needed to implant a seed and the rest depended on the cultivator's own beliefs.
Just like Sword Intent, some formed the Gale Sword Intent due to their beliefs, and others formed the Mountain Sword Intent.
The effect and strength of the Sword Intent depended on the opponent's will, so if one used this special system called the Spirit Martial Path in combat, it was essentially a conflict between the beliefs and wills of both sides.
Of course, this was the Spirit Martial Path that Wang Qi and others cultivated, a perk provided by Gu Shanhai.
The technique Gu Shanhai practiced was definitely different; instead, it was directly infused into Martial Arts Divine Power, integrating Child Skill and Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.
Now, when he utilized the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt Child Skill, it would generate an artificial atmosphere, primarily enhancing toughness. When Gu Shanhai launched himself forward, this Martial Arts Divine Power could become even tougher.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be of much use, at most enhancing some strength and making the Martial Arts Divine Power harder to master, without many other effects.
Mainly, it just didn't suit him very well.
He really didn't grasp these atmospheres well. If he had the capability, he would have cultivated the "Inner Core Skill" long ago. Why bother dismantling this and integrating it into the fifth layer of his "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture" Golden Core.instead?
Exploding, on the other hand, could be accompanied by an explosion, but Gu Shanhai had researched and found that, for him, it was at most a tempor...
