Chapter 389
Praise of the Deepsea, Sal Schlohar, was a unique oceanic lifeform born in a high-tier world, one that could be said to be blessed by the heavens.
From the moment of his birth, his voice could already control the surrounding oceanic lifeforms, ordering them to hunt or even commit suicide in order to support his growth.
He naturally became the ruler of that ocean. Even if he didn't cultivate any Mystical knowledge, his growth alone was enough to release his [Origin] to the third stage, granting him the Seed of Truth.
There were countless treasures in the ocean, so after several thousand years, Praise of the Deepsea naturally condensed his own Pathway, which wasn't too difficult for lifeforms like him who were born with endless wealth.
For example, if an ordinary person worked hard, if their luck and ability weren't too bad, and if they didn't get distracted by other matters and focused wholeheartedly on their studies, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to become a postgraduate student. However, if a pig were to try becoming a postgraduate student instead …
The difference between Praise of the Deepsea and an ordinary person was like the difference between a human and a pig. His biological class was naturally much higher than that of a human, so the Dao and Principles that humans would go mad with a single glance were easily comprehended by him after a short period of study.
Of course, Sal Schlohar's own efforts couldn't be denied. In high-tier worlds, there were many lifeforms that were born with the same high biological class as him, but most of them couldn't complete the condensation of their Pathway throughout their entire lives.
In truth, there weren't that many ordinary lifeforms like humans who could condense a Pathway, and even if there were, they would have already broken away from their human identity during the process of ascension. There were very few who could maintain their human identity and reach the level of a Pathway, at least in this part of space and time.
Even Red Tears, although she was born from a human body, when she was born, that erroneous ritual gave her a different essence, turning her into a phenomenal lifeform.
Praise of the Deepsea's life essence was one of the strongest among all Righteous Gods, and it was for this reason that Praise of the Deepsea's Pathway leaned towards life, combined with his natural ability of sound.
Praise of the Deepsea's voice could affect the life essence of living beings. The essence of sound was vibration, and it was through this resonance that he was able to alter the essence of other lifeforms, turning them into oceanic lifeforms under his control.
The reason Red Tears couldn't help but recall the past was because her essence had been stirred once more.
However, Eulogy of the Deep Sea was not having it easy either. The believer he possessed had tears of blood in his eyes and began to resist his control. His body twitched and some fish scales appeared. The believer had betrayed his faith. His soul had recognized his identity as a human. Under the influence of Red Tears, he instantly became a loyal human fanatic, even though he was still immersed in his faith in Eulogy of the Deep Sea a second ago.
"Monster, get out of my body. I won't be bewitched by you anymore." The middle-aged man's soul roared like it was on fire. With Red Tears' help, he managed to influence the quality of Ode of the Deep's descent.
After that, the middle-aged man's soul was completely crushed. His body also instantly collapsed, and a large amount of blood flowed out. His human skin instantly withered like a piece of paper. It was torn apart with a single pull, revealing the slippery fish scales underneath. A disgusting, salty smell of seafood assaulted one's nostrils.
Following that, Eulogy of the Deep Sea felt a surge of power rushing straight into his soul. The soul was a derivative of [Origin], at their level, their soul had already fused with their Pathway, the structure of their soul had also changed along with their Pathway.
If Negri had encountered Red Tears before his soul and germs had fully fused together, Red Tears would have easily destroyed Negri's soul. Because Negri's soul at the time was made up of the souls of countless people, as soon as something happened, Negri's soul would most likely be disintegrated.
However, after Negri completely converted his soul into germs, this weakness had been eliminated and had instead become his strength.
On the other hand, for some unknown reason, Mequik didn't have much resistance against this attack.
The one who was currently facing Red Tears' abnormal soul attack directly was Eulogy of the Deep Sea. At the time, he had plundered the Dao and Principles of Life from the Scion of Life. In order to digest this Dao and Principles, his originally genderless body had undergone childbirth, so after completing his Pathway advancement, his soul structure became more feminine.
This became Eulogy of the Deep Sea's weakness. Even though Red Tears was no longer limited to the soul of a female, she still had the deepest understanding of the soul structure of a female.
The abnormal power directly penetrated his soul, causing Eulogy of the Deep Sea's soul structure to change. If it changed too much, his control over his Pathway would become unstable, and at that time, Red Tears would be able to undo his lock on the Divine Artifact and take it away.
Red Tears and Eulogy of the Deep Sea continued to attack each other, trying to see who would be the first to give up. Would Red Tears' essence of life be changed first, or would Eulogy of the Deep Sea's soul experience an uncontrollable change and temporarily lose control of his Pathway?
On the other side, Negri was still attacking Red Tears. There were now over a hundred eyeballs hovering around him, each of them capable of firing different types of attacks, each of which contained their own unique Dao and Principles.
These hundred eyeballs could be used according to the situation, from different angles of the world, different elements, and different Principles, unleashing tens of thousands of different attacks, causing The Unreachable Gate to be able to intercept fewer and fewer attacks.
After discovering that The Unreachable Gate's lack of understanding towards a certain aspect of the world, all of the eyeballs had switched to attacking from that aspect. In that split second, Negri had unleashed several thousand attacks before The Unreachable Gate was able to figure out how to influence that aspect of the world, once again intercepting Negri's attacks.
Compared to Negri's attacks, Eternal Heat's attacks were much more aggressive. Unlike the knights and priests of his church, he didn't unleash Divine Arts, so his only method of attack seemed to be to unleash flames. However, every time The Unreachable Gate intercepted his flame attack, the boundary between 'reachable' and 'unreachable' would be burnt away. If he was given enough time, he might actually be able to burn through this boundary and directly attack The Unreachable Gate.
The most powerful Righteous God wasn't just for show, both his attacks and defenses were comprised of flames, and only flames were required. Anything tangible or intangible would eventually be incinerated by Eternal Heat's flames, while he would remain eternally imperishable, radiating heat.
If this situation continued, The Unreachable Gate would quickly retreat, unless he wanted to risk the possibility of Eternal Heat breaking through the boundary and Eternal Heat breaking through his gate.
During this stalemate, Mequik who had retreated earlier suddenly appeared next to Lisa.
