Chapter 634: Chapter 272: Reina’s Passion (Part 2) He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on guiding this power, letting it circulate within his body, with each cycle linking his spiritual power more closely to the Snow Demon Spirit. As time passed, this power became increasingly strong, and his consciousness began to blur, as if the whole world was turning transparent under his spiritual power. At that moment, David felt a sudden surge of intense energy within him, and the connection between his spiritual power and the Snow Demon Spirit reached a new height. He could clearly sense his spiritual power rapidly growing, as if countless tiny currents were leaping through his brain, each leap strengthening his spiritual power. When he opened his eyes again, he found his vision had become clearer, even the tiniest objects in the distance were vividly visible. His perception ability also received a great enhancement, allowing him to sense every subtle change in his surroundings. He knew he had successfully raised the Snow Demon Spirit to the Fifth-Ring level. The Fifth-Ring level Snow Demon Spirit directly boosted his spiritual power significantly. This enhancement was in the purest intensity of spiritual power, elevating directly from the early Fourth Ring to the mid-stage Fourth Ring level. As his spiritual power increased, David found his connection to Hell also became closer. He could sense the energy fluctuations in Hell, even hearing the call from its depths. This connection made him feel both excited and fearful, but he knew it was the source of his power and a challenge he must face. Now, David could easily open the Gate of Hell and summon creatures from Hell. He had a feeling that as the Snow Demon Spirit continuously absorbed Hell’s power, it was gradually transforming into a Hell Mark. Now, he should be the strongest Hell Mage on the Alien Race Continent. Fortunately, he could utilize the power of the Elemental Wizard Tower to temporarily seal the Snow Demon Spirit’s power. ... Inside the castle. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 With Reina’s successful breakthrough, the witches also began to train harder. David also began using his identity on the Alien Race Continent to continuously help the witches find cultivation resources. However, when the witches’ strength reached the peak of the Three Rings and touched the bottleneck of the Fourth Ring, resources clearly couldn’t keep up. The Alien Race Continent itself was an exile place for the Wizard Alliance, and its resources had already been scavenged by the Wizard Alliance. This was also the means by which the Wizard Alliance controlled the Alien Race Continent; in the past, there were hardly any Fourth-Ring Mages on the entire Alien Race Continent. Those few Fourth-Ring Mages were all boosted by external resources from the Alien Race Continent, with the strongest normal aliens and mages reaching only the Third Ring. But David had long been prepared. Though resources on the Alien Race Continent were scarce, there was the Endless Sea surrounding the entire continent. Now, as the Sea Race and the Exotic Race Continent Wizard Alliance began cooperating due to a common enemy, relations between the Sea Race and mages had greatly improved. Of course, for someone like David, who was part of the Sea Dragon Race, exploring the ocean was no problem at all. Now that the Hell Mages on the Alien Race Continent have been eradicated, the next task is to deal with those Sea Race members corrupted by Hell’s power. David stood on the high cliff of the northern coast of the Alien Race Continent, overlooking the azure ocean. In the next moment, he transformed into a Sea Dragon and dove into the sea, heading towards the Sea Emperor’s Palace. The last time he left the Sea Emperor’s Palace, he was just an ordinary Sea Dragon, but now his status has changed significantly. The Sea Emperor personally received him in the palace, showing him great respect for his current identity. Though the Sea Race has always tried to retake control of the Endless Sea, it was divided into two factions internally, with the Sea Emperor advocating for peaceful relations with mages. The other faction was naturally led by one of the four kings of the Sea Race, the Shark King. According to the information David had, the Shark King was likely in contact with Hell. To address the potential crisis, the Sea Emperor had to rely on the power of the Wizard Alliance. Now, through the Exotic Race Continent Wizard Alliance, he finally established some cooperative relationships with the Wizard Alliance. In the hall of the Sea Emperor’s Palace, David was surrounded by dazzling crystal lights and flowing walls of sea water, with the water reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors in the sunlight. The Sea Emperor sat on a magnificent throne, his visage stern and profound, his long hair rolling like waves emitting a faint blue light as if connected to every water current in the sea. "Welcome back, my dear David," the Sea Emperor said warmly as he stood up and extended a hand to David. "Your achievements make me proud. Not only did you defeat Asmode, but you also united the various races on the Exotic Race Continent. This power will lead us to a brighter future." "Thank you, esteemed Sea Emperor," David respectfully bowed, "This is not only a personal victory but an achievement made possible by all who fight for peace." "I’ve returned here hoping to collaborate with you once more to face the impending challenges together." Even in facing a Tier Six powerhouse, he must show adequate respect. "I suspect the Shark King has connections with Hell," the Sea Emperor’s brow slightly furrowed, "his ambitions pose a great threat to us, and we must unite to prevent any potential harm." "That’s precisely why I wish to strengthen our cooperative relations," David continued. "The ocean holds abundant resources and powerful forces. If we can join forces against the Shark King and his followers, we can ensure the security of the entire sea region and the Alien Race Continent from dark forces." Then, the two leaders began discussing specific plans, including establishing communication channels, setting up emergency response mechanisms, and formulating joint defense strategies. They both knew that only through close collaboration could they withstand the looming dark storm. And David could also gain more resources through the Sea Emperor, enhancing his and the Alien Race Continent’s development with the opportunity to strengthen their powers. After their meeting ended, David sought out the Clam Elder. They had interacted quite a bit during their time on the Alien Race Continent. David had originally invited the Clam Elder to stay in his castle. But the Clam Elder, like the Golden Giant Dragon Dragon Descendant Mage and the Elf Queen, did not wish to stay in a castle. "You’ve come," the Clam Elder said softly. "Hmm, haven’t seen you for a while, missed you," David smiled slightly. "With so many ladies in your castle, can’t they satisfy you?" the Clam Elder teased with a glance. "That’s different," David smiled gently, already wrapping his arm around her waist. Later, the two entered the study to continue exchanging information and sharing news. In the study, David and the Clam Elder sat beside an exquisite wooden table, filled with a sumptuous dinner. The golden candlelight illuminated their faces, adding a gentle ambiance to the cozy night. David gazed at the delicious food on the table, a warmth welling up in his heart. The Clam Elder smiled softly, picking up a piece of seafood, "I specially prepared your favorite sea delicacies for you, something you can’t usually find." "Thank you, that’s so thoughtful," David said appreciatively, feeling a warm glow inside at the Clam Elder’s meticulous care. He picked up a piece of tender steamed fish and placed it in his mouth, the delicate flavor instantly filling his taste buds. Over dinner, the two occasionally chatted, sometimes silent, enjoying the meal while reminiscing about all they had gone through together. The Clam Elder shared some new information about the Sea Race and her concerns about the impending crisis. "I’ve heard the Shark King has ties with dark forces, which makes me uneasy," the Clam Elder said with a frown, "if he truly succeeds in summoning those dreadful beings, our choice for peaceful coexistence might become even more challenging."
