Chapter 899 - - 607 Ocean Riot

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Touching the Origin of Mankind felt like caressing a warm piece of jade, cool and delicate, like a baby’s skin, irresistible to the touch.

Duge stared intently at the Origin of Mankind.

Unlike Jannie, after he placed his hand over it, there was no sign of the mist inside migrating towards the palm of his hand.

Was he the unlucky one, bearing ninety percent of bad luck?

Duge frowned slightly.

But he was never one to resign to fate. Since the mist in the Origin of Mankind caused genetic mutation, he might as well coax it out.

What’s not yours won’t hurt your heart; a tool that can’t be utilized is disposable if it breaks.

Dark God Power has corrosive properties, and Dark God Power surged from Duge’s palm, enveloping the junction between his hand and the Origin of Mankind.

The Origin of Mankind seemed to perceive the danger, its mist churning violently, resisting the corrosion of the Dark God Power.

“Kou Nan, what are you doing?” Kaska asked.

“I’m exploring the Origin of Mankind.” Duge embraced the Origin of Mankind with both hands, pulling it out of the box, and increased the output of Dark God Power.

“You’ll destroy it…” Kaska said.

“Destroying it would completely obliterate the Thorne Divine Tribe, akin to throwing it into a black hole.” Duge chuckled, unconcerned, “The Thorne Divine Tribe treats it as a sacred object, so they handle it with care, fearing it might get damaged. In reality, this thing is very tough, probably even tougher than your armor…”

As he spoke,

Duge switched the power in his lower hand to Solar Divine Power.

Solar Divine Power was scorching hot whereas Dark God Power was cold and sinister, an ice-fire ordeal, testing the resistance of the Origin of Mankind.

The mist inside the Origin of Mankind churned even faster.

Kaska was dumbstruck.

Seeing this, Jannie suddenly realized where she differed from Duge.

She had only been passive, reacting accordingly; whereas Duge was always proactive, creating opportunities and would use any means to achieve his goals.

A moment later,

Duge added the Power of Thunder and Lightning to the mix of Divine Powers.

As jumping sparks covered the surface of the Origin of Mankind, the mist inside whirled crazily, forming a vortex…

Duge watched the vortex, suddenly withdrawing some divine power from the palm of his right hand.

Military tactics, three encircles, leaving one.

When the Origin of Mankind helped Jannie awaken, Duge didn’t think much of it. But when he eroded the Origin of Mankind with Dark God Power and the mist churned violently, he realized that maybe the Origin of Mankind was conscious.

He burned the Origin of Mankind with Bright Divine Power, creating a dilemma of ice and fire for it.

The feeling became even stronger.

This was normal; in the Immortal Martial World, many Magical Treasures could spawn spirited beings, automatically defending and attacking—all manifestations of a Magical Treasure gaining consciousness…

Since it was conscious, using military tactics against it surely wouldn’t be wrong.

Duge withdrew the Dark God Power from his palm, and the mist inside the Origin of Mankind seemed to find an escape route, rushing into the palm of his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the Origin of Mankind became clear and transparent, devoid of any mist inside.

This scene once again dumbfounded both Kaska and Jannie.

“Kou Nan, what happened?”

“What ability did you awaken?”

The two asked in unison.

…

Duge was too preoccupied to speak.

After the mist from the Origin of Mankind entered his palm, he felt all the cells in his body start to boil.

This was particularly true for his right hand, which touched the Origin of Mankind.

Intense pain emanated from his palm and soon, his entire palm started to explode from the inside out, followed by his wrist, forearm…

The mist from the Origin of Mankind was destroying everything it passed through, unstoppable.

The recovery ability brought by the chaos that affected the entire planet couldn’t keep up with the destruction speed of the Origin of Mankind; the newly healed cells were blown apart in the blink of an eye.

MBD!

I’ve gone too far.

Jannie had only absorbed a whiff of the mist and was already in agony, unable to speak, and he had absorbed at least ten thousand times more than Jannie had.

It turns out that every time the Origin of Mankind released a whiff of mist, it was to protect its inheritor!

Duge immediately summoned all of his Divine Powers to protect his vital organs and brain, enveloped Jannie with the Sea God’s Power: “Jannie, follow me…”

The next moment,

The two had disappeared from Kaska’s presence.

Kaska looked at the now-empty Origin of Mankind, holding her hands in front of her chest and praying: “Kou Nan, you must survive, otherwise, alone, I might not execute the plan you devised well…”

…

Meanwhile,

Duge and Jannie had reached the depths of the ocean.

Both Solar Divine Power and the Sea God’s Power had healing effects, but being in the ocean, the Sea God’s Power was much more potent than the Solar Divine Power.

Watching Duge’s body still deteriorating, Jannie felt helpless: “Kou Nan, what should I do?”

“Empty your mind, I will transmit the Dual Cultivation Skill to you.” In the depths of the sea, the disintegration of Duge’s body slowed considerably.

But now, his body was still in a tattered state, his blood vessels, muscles, and even his internal organs exposed…

At that moment, he looked like a corpse that had been gnawed on by wild animals.

“Can you still dual cultivate at this time?” Jannie looked at Duge’s body in astonishment, “You’ve lost that part.”

“Physical union is low-level dual cultivation, the higher form is when Souls Unite.” At this critical juncture, Duge had no mood to spar with Jannie, quickly saying, “Next, empty your mind, do not resist me at all, let me guide you to the next step…”
