I'm not just human!

Chapter 419 Xia Fa's strength, comparable to a Celestial Venerable, is revealed! Even the Poiso

Chapter 419 Xia Fa's strength, comparable to a Celestial Venerable, is revealed! Even the Poison Patriarch Veronica is shocked!

"It seems that even though the merfolk have become Outer Gods, their intelligence is still quite low—"

Seeing that these hundreds of fishmen actually dared to launch an attack on the physical entity of the Poison Patriarch Veronica without authorization, Xia Fa was somewhat surprised.

Since only a dozen or so of these fishmen held the Outer God rank, while the majority held the Divine rank, he was too lazy to take action.

Not to mention, even the fish-men with the Outer God rank are only equivalent to ordinary Outer Gods, and may be even weaker, on par with the strange Outer Gods encountered in the Quasi-Celestial Venerable's Tomb.

Sure enough, with a few soft laughs, Xia Fa saw Veronica draw a circle in front of her with the iron pliers in her hand, and the circle immediately "bulged" up and turned into a golden sphere.

A loud buzzing sound arose, and countless swarms of all kinds of bees flew out and pounced on the fish-men around them.

Among these bee colonies were hornets with mouthparts like scissors, incredibly fierce hornets, huge and powerful bumblebees, parasitic wasps with extremely long stingers and agile bodies, and of course, many more bees that Xia Fa did not recognize at all; they were basically all supernatural creatures.

Screams immediately rang out all around, accompanied by a strong fishy smell. The hundreds of fishmen were surrounded by swarms of bees, wildly swinging their spears or pitchforks, but to no avail. In an instant, they were stabbed hundreds of millions of times.

Some of the merfolk had turned purple, some had large and small bumps on their bodies, and some were bleeding profusely. In an instant, the entire army was about to be wiped out.

"It seems Veronica is just as strong, if not weaker, than the fanatical tomb raider."

Xia Fa looked on with considerable surprise. Then he remembered that when he had accidentally stumbled upon the Physical Redemption Society while randomly eating there, Veronica's ranking seemed to be ahead of the fanatical tomb raider, on par with the gourmet, and only weaker than the bard and the storyteller.

In the black water with green streaks, from a very distant place, a tremor suddenly came.

"Um?"

Xia Fa had just reacted and hadn't even turned his head to look when suddenly his vision blurred.

A colossal figure, so fast that even he, with his Celestial Venerable strength, couldn't see it clearly, swept past in an instant and vanished swiftly.

In the deep, dark water, the hundreds of dying fishmen were nowhere to be seen.

Even the merfolk that had been acting as scouts below them had vanished.

"Master, what... what's going on?"

This time, it was the Nature Bee that spoke first, its big, dark eyes filled with fear.

It was, after all, just a juvenile entity, and the weakest of the three. As a result, it didn't even see the huge figure. It only felt a blur before its eyes, and all the fishmen disappeared.

Patriarch Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, was also somewhat bewildered: "What just happened? Where are those mermen?"

Xia Fa pondered for a moment and said, "They were rescued by someone incredibly fast. Should we go after them and see?"

Veronica was surprised: "I didn't see it clearly, and you didn't see your pet either, how did you see it clearly?"

Xia Fa replied without hesitation, "I have some talent for speed. How about we go after them?"

Veronica hesitated, then said, "But if that mysterious being is so fast, its strength might also be—"

Halfway through her sentence, Veronica suddenly realized that she no longer had a choice.

A giant hand, a hand so large it blotted out the sky and covered in armor, suddenly emerged from the water six inches below and instantly grabbed the three of them.

This giant hand carried an indescribable celestial pressure. The moment it released its aura, the Nature Bee was rendered immobile, and Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, was completely suppressed after only a slight struggle.

Xia Fa understood this feeling. Back in the old forge, when he first faced the Silver Cleanser, he was also suppressed by this level. Just facing the Silver Cleanser's aura, he couldn't move at all.

However, things are different now.

He switched from using his right hand to grip the iron clamp with both hands, lowered his body slightly, and assumed a fighting stance.

In that instant, the iron pliers in his hand no longer seemed like iron pliers, but rather like a sharp blade capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

boom!!!

Xia Fa's aura suddenly erupted, and in an instant he entered the third stage of the Chaos Throne. His whole body was enveloped in chaotic lightning, and star silver mist gushed out. The phantoms of the Lion King, the giant elephant, and the divine bird appeared and disappeared behind him. A majestic clown mask appeared on his face, and his whole body was covered with palm-sized black and gold scales.

In that instant, he was more like a god than a god, suddenly exuding an aura of majesty that even Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, feared!

Xia Fa stepped forward, his iron pliers wielded with a solemn air, and swung them down from above.

This was an ordinary slash, without even any blade light surging forth, yet in an instant it split the black water in two, and then, the water within tens of millions of kilometers around it was instantly cleared!

The enormous hand just happened to grab at that moment, hitting Xia Fa's iron pincers.

With a "bang," the giant hand shattered.

Only then did the black, green-streaked acidic liquid reassemble, and the Nature Bee flew out in an instant, sweeping across a space with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers around it, before reappearing in front of Xia Fa.

On its short insect legs, a long, sharp spike grew from the pincers it held, with a dozen fish of various sizes strung on it. The largest was comparable to a whale shark, while the smallest was only the size of a palm, all struggling and writhing.

Just now, when the water was emptied, fish monsters with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers around were exposed to the air. The Nature Bee seemed to be able to identify which fish had treasures hidden inside them, so as soon as it could move, it immediately hunted down these fish.

"Owner!"

The Nature Bee shouted, its expression a mixture of excitement and a desire for credit.

The excitement stemmed from witnessing Xia Fa's unparalleled strength, which allowed him to easily repel the attack of a Celestial Venerable. The reason for taking credit was, of course, that Xia Fa had caught these fish.

"Very good, you did a great job."

Xia Fa patted its head, and the Nature Bee immediately squinted its eyes in enjoyment, just like a puppy. If it weren't for its bumblebee shape and lack of a tail, its tail would probably be wagging so hard it would leave a blur.

The Poison Patriarch Veronica opened her round, beautiful eyes wide, and for the first time, her charming and radiant face revealed an innocent naiveté as she looked Xia Fa up and down in disbelief.

"Honey, how...how did you do that?"

Whom are you calling husband?

Xia Fa thought to himself with a mix of disapproval and amusement, thinking that this was truly a world where strength mattered. Although Veronica had never looked down on him from the beginning and had even protected him on several occasions, she had never been so proactive and bold before.

"It seems you haven't been exposed to any outside information while you were recovering from your injury."

"What outside information?" Veronica became increasingly surprised.

"You'll find out when you go to the City of Gold Pounds," Xia Fa said with a calm smile, keeping his achievements hidden.

The fact that he possessed the strongest divine form and had taken a punch from the son of a true god while still holding the rank of a junior god has probably already spread far and wide in the City of Gold Pounds.

Therefore, as long as Veronica inquires, she will definitely find out, and Shafa is too lazy to explain on the spot.

"Okay, fine—you're my husband, I'll do as you say."

Veronica was surprisingly well-behaved, a stark contrast to her previous aggressive older sister persona, as if she had truly transformed into a gentle and understanding wife.

Xia Fa was a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but look at the five-meter-tall, curvaceous, and alluring Holy Poison Bee Queen.

"She really doesn't want to be with me—"

Shaking his head sharply, knowing this wasn't the time to think about that, Xia Fa closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before suddenly pointing to the six o'clock position below: "It's over there, about two light-years away. Let's go there."

This time, Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, did not object in the slightest, nor did she dare to object. She obediently nodded and gently replied, "Okay!"

The bee, looking up happily, said, "I will obey my master!"

Xia Fa nodded slightly, and immediately, the three of them flew directly in that direction.

On the way, Xia Fa dissected the dozen or so fish monsters that the Nature Bee had captured one by one, and obtained three pure white light-chasing silver crystals the size of lychees, as well as two unknown sealed artifacts, one of which looked like a fan and the other like a pen knife.

In addition, there was a half-digested Outer God Fruit, a half-sized lychee-sized Abundant Soil Blessing Zinc, and then all the Overlord-level Secret Contracts.

He offered the rich and precious zinc to Patriarch Veronica of the Poisonous Land, but this time she refused to accept it, insisting that she had already received enough.

Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, knowing that Veronica was afraid of him, afraid that taking too much would provoke his anger, so he had no choice but to accept the money.

Although I don't know what use it will be to me, mainly because I don't have any seeds of the Divine Blood Fruit or the Ancient Fruit, it is such a rare sacred metal after all, and maybe I can use it to barter with the City of Gold Pounds.

As for the other items, he kept them as well.

This time, they didn't encounter many other fish monsters on the way, but the black acidic liquid with green threads became increasingly viscous, eventually even hindering their flight speed.

However, the two people and the bee arrived at their destination in just a few minutes.

Suddenly, a magnificent ancient military camp appeared ahead, built entirely of stark white fish bones. The gate alone was ten thousand meters high, extremely imposing and domineering. A huge shark head protruded from the gate, and even though it had been dead for an unknown period of time, it still exuded the aura of a quasi-celestial being.

These were spoils of war, hung at the entrance of the military camp.

Around this ancient military camp, there was a shimmering halo, like an inverted sky-blue bowl, separating it from the surrounding black, green-tinged acidic water.

Inside the village gate, however, it was pitch black, making it difficult to see clearly. It was obviously deliberately concealed by some kind of ritual protective array.

Previously, when that enormous figure appeared and saved hundreds of fishmen, Xia Fa had a premonition that it might be the Celestial Venerable-level Secret Star Spirit Overclocking Speed ​​"Spider".

However, whether it's the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul", the Overclocked Speedster "Speed", or the Fear Priest "Flatter", they should all be possessing spirits, meaning they have no independent consciousness.

In this situation, if they possess a strange or supernatural creature, they might become killing machines, just like they were in the quasi-celestial tomb.

However, it's absolutely impossible for them to actually do anything to save someone.

In addition, what the Nature Bee said earlier was that it sensed the overclocked speed of "Speed" on a fishman that had been dried into a fish jerky—Shafa had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Soon, the two people and the bee stopped at the entrance of the military camp. This time, unlike before when Veronica always protected Xia Fa behind her, she actually chose to hide behind Xia Fa.

Despite her five-meter height, it couldn't be hidden at all behind Xia Fa, who was two meters tall.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Besides, their hostility isn't that deep."

Xia Fa chuckled and comforted her. The reason he chose to come directly to the other party's lair in such a carefree manner was because when that big hand grabbed him just now, he didn't feel much hostility; it was more like a deterrent.

If he didn't possess the strength of a Celestial Venerable, and instead was as powerless to resist as Veronica and the Nature Bee, after being grabbed by that giant hand, he would likely not be crushed, but rather thrown directly out as the [Mortal Python].

"How should we get in—"

Looking at this ancient military camp, Xia Fa wondered if he should send a visiting card inside, since there were no soldiers guarding the gate and he couldn't even ask a soldier to report it.

"Sir, you've come all this way to this place intending to fight me?"

Just then, a grand and majestic voice came from the depths of the dark ancient military camp.

The voice sounded just like that of an ancient general; a short sentence contained immense power and gave the impression that he was not afraid of battle at all.

Xia Fa cleared his throat: "I've come to pay a visit. Could you let us in?"

The grand and authoritative voice rang out again, this time with a hint of hostility: "You nearly killed hundreds of my soldiers, and now you want me to invite a wolf into the house?"

Xia Fa didn't care about any of that: "If you don't let me in, I'm going to force my way in."

The owner of that grand and majestic voice suddenly fell silent. After a long while, the darkness that had enveloped the ancient military camp vanished, revealing the scene inside.

What appeared to be a vast training ground contained tens of thousands of fishmen, among whom more than a hundred exuded the powerful aura of Outer Gods, and of the other nine thousand nine hundred or so, more than two thousand possessed the rank of Divine Followers.

The remaining seven thousand or so fishmen were not just grunts; the weakest among them were demigods, and the most powerful could even rival the Great Emperor of Mystery!

The fish-men, who should have been as stupid as wild beasts, have now been trained into a disciplined and obedient army, practicing some kind of extremely powerful battle formation.

Xia Fa felt that even a quasi-Celestial Venerable would not be able to easily escape if he accidentally got caught in this battle formation!

Of course, the battle formation formed by hundreds of outer gods and more than two thousand subordinate gods could only trap one quasi-celestial being, which was far inferior to the battle formation of the Cleaners.

Keep in mind that three Silver Cleaners, each with three hundred Bronze Cleaners, are enough to annihilate a Quasi-Celestial!

Behind the training ground and the army of murlocs, however, lies a large hall.

In the hall, two rows of fishmen stood in separate columns, each holding strange weapons such as spiked clubs or large axes, all of them clad in armor, standing tall and with serious expressions.

There were ten fishmen on each side, and they all carried the aura of the peak Outer God.

At the far end of the hall, a massive figure, dressed in blue-white armor and resembling an ancient general, sat imposingly on a golden throne, polishing a wish wheel in his hand. At first glance, the wish wheel looked like a circular iron ring, but its outer edge was entirely serrated, the edges of which gleamed coldly. Once it started spinning, its power was unimaginable.

The entire wish wheel is a wondrous purple color, and it is made of a sacred metal called "absolute cut copper"!

Seeing the massive figure in the blue-white armor wiping the Wish Wheel, and the powerful aura emanating from the Celestial Venerable's position, coupled with the unique spiritual fluctuations of the Secret Star Spirit, Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his guess had come true!

The super-fast, high-frequency spirit "Spite" has indeed developed sentience over the past 30,000 years!

The possessing spirit has transformed into a normal Mystic Star Spirit!

Although he didn't know why it had been staying in the "Mortal Serpent" of the nine mysterious forbidden zones and had even subdued such a large army of fishmen, Xia Fa realized that things were getting complicated.

"Wait, could it be that the authority of the 'God of Life' possessed by the Moon Mother Goddess caused 'Super-Speed ​​Spitet' to be affected within the Mortal Serpent, thus giving birth to sentience?"

Thinking of this, Xia Fa smiled helplessly.

Fortunately, this time, in addition to subduing the overclocked and extremely fast "Speed," the goal is also to find the skin of the [World Serpent] that can be devoured, in order to attempt to awaken the Moon Mother Goddess's divine mutation.

Moreover, the latter is definitely more important, so it doesn't matter if the former can't be accomplished.

"Sir, please come in if you have anything to discuss. Men, serve this distinguished guest tea!"

At this moment, the overclocked speedster "Speedy" stopped wiping the wish wheel in his hand, hooked his finger on the wish wheel and turned it. The wish wheel immediately spun at high speed, emitting a clear sound. The surrounding air was immediately cut apart, which shows how sharp it was.

Xia Fa turned to look at Veronica, the chieftain of the Ten Thousand Poisons, and gave her a reassuring look before walking alone into the ancient military camp.

The merfolk army in the training ground immediately parted like a tide, making way for Xia Fa, but their expressions toward Xia Fa were quite unfriendly, carrying a hint of hostility.

Xia Fa walked calmly into the hall, whereupon an Outer God Merman brought a chair and placed it to the lower right of the overclocked "Speed".

"Although I can't remember much of what happened in the past, to have such combat power from the level of a god—even my older brother with [Absolute Defense] back then couldn't do that."

"Speedy" spoke calmly, his gaze revealing undisguised extreme interest beneath his blue mask.

"Are you familiar with [Absolute Defense]?"

Xia Fa was quite curious and asked a question in return.

Overclocked Speed ​​"Speed" nodded, but a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "Back then, I went to explore the Ghost Realm with Brother [Absolute Defense]. When He had just become a god, He was already capable of fighting against quasi-celestial beings."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Fa again and continued, "I originally thought that Brother [Absolute Defense] was the most powerful being I would ever encounter in my life. I never expected that I would meet someone even more powerful than him more than 30,000 years later."

Xia Fa smiled and said, "You're not simple either. As a possessing spirit among the Mystic Star Spirits, you've actually managed to regain your intelligence."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the overclocked, high-speed "Speedy" suddenly turned cold, gripping the Wish Wheel tightly: "So, this is the purpose you came for? To subdue me?"

Xia Fa shook his head: "If you were still that Star Spirit without self-awareness, I would definitely subdue you, but now that you have developed intelligence, I guess I'll just have to let it go."

Despite being overclocked to extreme speed, "Speed" showed no signs of letting up; instead, it became even more vigilant.

He is not stupid, especially since he experienced the era of blood and fire more than 30,000 years ago when extraordinary beings were just rising and all things were competing for them. Moreover, he grew into a Celestial Venerable, and his cunning is far deeper than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, even if Xia Fa said that, he would not choose to believe it.

"Since you think that subduing me is just a pipe dream, then please leave now. Perfect timing, the tea isn't ready yet."

7

Upon hearing this, the merman who had just walked to the side door with his tea quietly retreated back to the side hall.

To Peter's surprise, Shafa readily agreed.

"Okay, no problem. But I've come all this way, flying two light-years, so can I ask you something?"

"Speedy," the overclocked speedster, pondered, "What's the problem? If I know the answer, I'll tell you as much as I can."

Xia Fa smiled and asked, "Have you encountered any unusual swarms of bees in this [Worldly Python], the kind that can absorb a person's extraordinary power?"

Without hesitation, the overclocked "Speedy" replied, "Yes, in the Seven Inch Zone, I have two merman generals who were drained dry and beyond saving. If you are really willing to leave here, I can give you their location."

Upon hearing this, Veronica, the chieftain of Wan Du, who had been guarding the entrance of the ancient military camp, was suddenly overjoyed. Her eyes lit up, and at the same time, her gaze toward Xia Fa held an inexplicable admiration.

Xia Fa nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you later. My second and final question is: Are there any places within this [Mortal Serpent] where the power of authority is particularly strong?"

Overclocked Speed ​​"Speed" was surprised that the uninvited guest's questions were so simple. He immediately replied, "Yes, it's in the tail area of ​​the [Mortal Serpent]. However, it's extremely dangerous there. I don't recommend venturing in unless you're a true god, even if you have the strength of a Celestial Venerable."

Snake Tail District — Xia Fa noted it down. It seemed that once they reached the Snake Tail District, they could begin to devour the skin of the [World Python].

In order to achieve a god-level mutation and to possess sufficient power after becoming a true god, he decided to take the plunge no matter how dangerous it was.

"Okay, thank you. We've been very kind of you this time. We'll be leaving now."

Xia Fa stood up, said something quite politely, and then prepared to turn around.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt that the iron-blooded conqueror "Paul," who had been dormant in his spiritual intuition, suddenly opened his eyes!

At that very moment, the overclocked speedster "Speed" suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming, and his tone became extremely hostile.

"Wait! You've already won over my brother Paul?"
