Chapter 640: Chapter 275: Seizing Resources Water magic rained down like raindrops, repelling the oncoming enemies, and the newfound power helped everyone strengthen, making close combat easier and more effective. After a fierce struggle, victory naturally belonged to the Sea Race led by the Sea Emperor. After defeating all the Shark King’s strong warriors, it was time to reap the harvest, and the Sea Race began to act scatteredly. David started searching on his own, relying on his strong Perception Power. They cautiously swam toward the coral cluster. At this time, through Extraordinary Sensing, he could sense there was an Array beneath the coral cluster. When he opened the Array, there were countless small Treasure Chests buried beneath the coral cluster, each chest emitting a faint glow. David quickly and forcefully opened the first Treasure Chest, finding it filled with dazzling pearls and all kinds of jewels, as well as some Scrolls inscribed with ancient and mysterious Runes. With Extraordinary Sensing, his efficiency was unmatched by the Sea Race. Simultaneously, by utilizing the Spatial Mark, he could teleport instantly to any spot he sensed an Energy Wave. David rummaged through the Treasure Chests in the coral cluster, gradually sensing the immense energy contained in the treasures. His Extraordinary Perception made him navigate this wealth-filled domain with ease, occasionally pausing and teleporting, each time successfully opening a Treasure Chest filled with precious items. As he was slowly immersed in collecting these treasures, his perception suddenly became alert to a strong and ancient Energy Wave emanating from deeper within. This wave was utterly different from the fortunes he had seen previously, seemingly containing some extremely important and potent power. David knew this was likely the Shark King’s most valuable and threatening treasure. "This is my chance!" He used the Spatial Mark to easily teleport, rushing towards the source of the Energy Wave. As he delved deeper into the Shark King’s territory, he found the surroundings gradually darkening, with shadows starting to envelop the area. Nevertheless, the power became more apparent. Eventually, he reached a small cave surrounded by giant rocks. Inside the cave emanated a faint and mysterious glow, sourced from a large crystal shining with blue light on an ancient crystal pedestal within the cave. The Crystal exuded an awe-inspiring aura, a supreme Element blending the ocean, storm, and Life Force. "This contains the Sea God’s power!" David was shocked, unable to believe his eyes. He cautiously approached the Crystal, the powerful force seemingly attracting him, making him eager to touch it. However, he knew that such an important and mysterious object must have its protective mechanisms and taboos. Sure enough, when his fingers touched the Crystal, the entire cave began to tremble violently, a giant phantom formed of seawater and shadow appeared. It had the appearance of the Shark King, yet larger and more terrifying, it roared: "How dare you disturb my peace!" "I’m not here to disturb you; I only wish to save this sea!" David smiled coolly. After a fierce confrontation, he finally found an opportunity in a sharp attack, a large golden Magic Array silently emerged, completely sealing the phantom. Taking advantage of it, David pressed his palm against the blue Crystal, forcefully drawing its power into his grasp. Simultaneously, a deafening sound echoed through the cave as the mixed Element burst forth, tearing the phantom into countless fragments disappearing without a trace. As tranquility settled after victory, the azure blue light sprinkled over him, bathing his body in this ancient force. And when he grasped the massive Elemental Crystal in his hand, a warmth and comfort spread throughout his body, making him smile involuntarily, "Such rich power of the Sea God." As he held the Sea God Crystal in his hand, the Sea Emperor also appeared within the cave. David looked up at the Sea Emperor on the opposite side, his body continually surging with the Sea God Power, resonating with the Sea God Crystal. "Didn’t expect you to find it so soon." The Sea Emperor sighed. Although he very much wanted to seize this Sea God Crystal, he also knew the strength of the Dragon Descendant Mage standing before him. Similarly possessing the Sea God Bloodline, the other also held the power of the Dragon Race and Wizards, and even if he could win, it wouldn’t be so easy. Especially while battling with the existence from Hell, having consumed too much of the Sea God’s power. Moreover, David is the sub-leader of the Exotic Race Continent Wizard Alliance, now is not the time to break ties. "Sea Emperor, you’re late." David displayed a composed smile. At this time, the Sea God Crystal in his hand emitted a gentle blue light, seemingly clearing away the surrounding shadows. Although the Sea Emperor before him was a formidable being, David calmly understood that the other couldn’t take him down easily, and he was confident of leaving with ease. The Sea Emperor’s tone became heavy, "This Crystal contains countless powers, not only to enhance our strength but also to help us fend off future potential new threats." "I understand." David nodded, holding the Crystal tighter, "With it, I can further evoke the Sea God Power within me." The Sea Emperor scrutinized the Crystal in David’s hand intently, with complex emotions flickering in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Since you’ve found it, I have no reason to stop you from having it." "But as someone with the Sea God Bloodline too, I hope you can join me in fighting off the threat from Hell." Hearing this, David slightly breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Naturally." "It’s not just within the sea; the Wizard World also faces threats from Hell, and I will undoubtedly struggle against Hell constantly." At that moment, a tacit understanding seemed to form between the two. "Alright, let’s start from here." The Sea Emperor turned towards the cave’s exit. David watched as the Sea Emperor left. In that split second, he could feel that the Sea Emperor had harbored murderous intent. Indeed, there are no eternal companions, only eternal interests; he must guard against some of the Sea Emperor’s moves. Once the Sea Emperor returned to the Sea Emperor Palace, the Sea Race began to recuperate. David conducted an unspeakable cultivation session with the Clam Elder, leaving some resources before choosing to leave. This time, the resources he acquired were indeed abundant, enough to elevate the Witches’ strength by a level, aiding him better in cultivation. Besides, he needed to find a safe place to absorb the Sea God’s Power within the Sea God Crystal properly. The acquisition of this Sea God Crystal not only signaled an increase in power but also signified that he must deal with the changes around him with greater caution. Especially regarding the Sea Emperor, he must always be wary of the other’s possible schemes. When David returned to the castle on the Alien Race Continent, the Witches came out enthusiastically to greet him. They were dressed in luxurious and mysterious robes, adorned with sparkling little stars on their heads, as if they were dancing in the night sky. Over time, they had fully integrated into the Wizard Alliance. With close to Fourth Ring power, they all held significant positions within the Exotic Race Continent Wizard Alliance Branch. "My Lord! You’re back already!" Liya came forward to greet him. Among all the witches, currently, only Liya and the twin maidservants remained within the castle. Reina was in charge of managing the territory he gained on the Alien Race Continent, while most other witches were at the Wizard Academy. "Did you miss me?" David smiled slightly, lightly touching fingers with her, transmitting warmth through his heart. "Of course! We’ve been waiting for your return all along," the witches responded. However, they all heard the teasing in David’s tone, their faces slightly reddened but filled with anticipation. David’s heart stirred slightly as well. In the next moment, he directly activated the Spatial Mark, encompassing all the witches. When they reappeared, they were already inside the room, directly beginning the cultivation session they hadn’t undertaken for a while.
