From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 554 - 352: Seal and the Sea God’s Scepter_2

Lu Heng nodded, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Deep Freeze Sea Trench, saying: "Let’s go. This mission is very difficult. We should act within our abilities, and retreat if necessary."

Everyone stacked their palms together, shouted loudly, and set out together, rushing towards the Deep Freeze Sea Trench.

Jiang Shaoran conjured a wave, leading everyone towards the Deep Freeze Sea Trench.

Sarian also led her Sea Demon Clan warriors, swimming rapidly towards the seal location.

She rushed above the seal, shouting loudly: "All Sea Demon Warriors, listen to my command. I bring the order of the High Priest. Onatu has rebelled to seize the Sea God’s Scepter. Do not be swayed by his deception, immediately stop breaking the seal."

The surrounding Sea Demon Clan Warriors singing the Sea Demon’s song were suddenly at a loss, not knowing whom to listen to.

The Sea Demon Priests who were casting spells to break the seal also slowed their actions, hesitating in their hearts.

Onatu turned to see Sarian and immediately ordered: "Sarian has rebelled, stop her!"

The Sea Demon Warriors he brought along were his confidants.

Therefore, these Sea Demon Warriors hesitated slightly at first, but upon hearing his command, they immediately reacted, raising their weapons and charging at Sarian.

The battle between both sides was on the verge of breaking out.

Onatu looked at the priests who were casting spells and ordered: "Speed up! Once Flame Demon Gross is released, the seawater temperature will drop, and the ocean will return to its former state.

"Don’t you understand such a simple principle? What are you waiting for? Break the seal with all your might."

This principle was straightforward. When Onatu communicated with the will of the Flame Demon under the seal earlier, these Sea Demon Priests also heard it, so they were inclined to believe Onatu.

After all, no matter how terrifying Flame Demon Gross was, it couldn’t possibly run into the sea to attack the Sea Demons.

With Flame Demon Gross revived, the real unfortunate ones would only be the Black Iron Dwarves.

And what does the plight of the Black Iron Dwarves have to do with the Sea Demon Clan?

In fact, the Sea Demon Clan would be even happier to see the demise of the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

After all, the two clans have been enemies for years, with constant conflicts in between. The destruction of the Black Iron Dwarves would only amuse many in the Sea Demon Clan.

Moreover, these Sea Demon Priests were brought by Onatu after being selected, to belong to his faction.

Thus, Onatu’s words were accepted by these Sea Demon Priests.

Sixteen Sea Demon Priests all accelerated their magic energy output, quickening the breaking of the seal.

Sarian, upon seeing the High Priest’s command failing to stop these Sea Demons, was instantly enraged and could only raise her weapon to fight against the advancing Sea Demon Warriors.

However, she didn’t want to kill her own kind, so she didn’t attack with full force, which limited her ability to exert her true combat power.

Lu Heng’s team of thirteen also quickly arrived at the battlefield, joining the fight.

However, fighting these Sea Demon Warriors was pointless.

Lu Heng’s only target was Onatu, to prevent him from breaking the seal and to reclaim the Sea God’s Scepter.

Upon nearing the seal, Lu Heng drew the Aurora Blade, executed a [Void Flash] to Onatu’s back, and stabbed forward, whipping up a surging tide.

Since they were underwater, they couldn’t execute the Sound Explosion Sword.

The Sound Explosion Sword could only be used in an air medium. In seawater, all physical attacks were greatly weakened.

Because the resistance of seawater is much greater than that of air.

If it were on land, Lu Heng’s slash would have killed Onatu, but in the seawater, it was not the same.

The sword light was slowed down significantly by the seawater’s resistance.

Onatu gripped the Sea God’s Scepter and erected a seawater shield, blocking the sword light, and turned to counterattack with a trident.

Bang!

The two clashed hard with a move, creating a violent shockwave, stirring the surrounding seawater into turmoil.

After the exchange, Lu Heng helplessly realized that his combat power in the sea couldn’t even exert one-third of its potential.

The Sound Explosion Sword couldn’t be used, and the Dragon Breath Slash was a flame attack, also not effective.

Lu Heng forcefully used the Aurora Blade’s divine attribute skill Dragon Breath Slash, boiling the surrounding seawater, but that was it.

If on land, the flames of the Dragon Breath Slash would reach tens of thousands of degrees, capable of burning everything.

In the seawater, it could only boil the water into steam, surging upwards.

Boiling seawater can cause damage, but it’s negligible to the Sea Demon Clan.

The Sea Demon Clan could easily cast a water attribute shield to isolate the boiling water.

Onatu himself was an elder of the Sea Demon Clan, with high level and combat power, and he held the Sea God Scepter, making his combat strength in the sea even superior to Lu Heng’s.

It’s not just Lu Heng; the combat power of the others in the team was also highly limited.

The most troubled was Lin Zeyu, as he followed the firearm enhancement route, with attack power concentrated in firearms.

But in seawater, even if bullets could be fired, they wouldn’t have much power.

Even for a sniper rifle, once a bullet entered the water, it lost its power after a meter at most.

This meant that for Lin Zeyu to harm a Sea Demon with firearms, he needed to press the gun barrel against the target’s body to inflict effective damage.

For a superpower user on the firearm enhancement route to press the gun barrel against a melee Sea Demon, especially in restrictive seawater, was almost as hard as climbing to heaven.

Therefore, Lin Zeyu could only watch from the outskirts of the battlefield, incapable of participating in the fight.

Everyone understood this situation. Aside from Liu Haiyang’s six-person Ocean Team, the four members of Lu Heng’s team had quite awkward combat power in the sea.

Lin Zeyu wasn’t entirely devoid of attack power, but he couldn’t use his trump card lightly, so he temporarily kept a distance, waiting for an opportunity.

...

The battle between Lu Heng and Onatu continued, with both sides fighting fiercely.

With the advantage of the ocean, Onatu even gained a slight edge.

Not all of Lu Heng’s skills and source material abilities were limited; some could still exert full combat power underwater.

The most powerful among them being Rift Slash.

Only, it couldn’t be used near the seal.

Onatu still needed an hour to break the seal. If Lu Heng used Rift Slash, the seal might crack open.

So, Lu Heng could only slowly lure Onatu away from the seal. Once they were twenty meters away.

Lu Heng’s eyes flashed brilliantly, and he swung Rift Slash.

Onatu, who had been holding the upper hand, was arrogantly advancing, wanting to eliminate the pesky summoner Lu Heng once and for all.

His focus was entirely on attacking, leaving him unable to dodge when Lu Heng executed Rift Slash.

In the critical moment, Onatu raised the Sea God’s Scepter, erecting a barrier to block.

Bang!

Rift Slash instantly shattered the barrier, slicing into the Sea God’s Scepter.

Clang!

The Sea God’s Scepter broke in two on the spot, and the blue gemstone [Heart of the Tides] flew out.

"You bastard! Damn summoner!" Onatu was furious seeing the Sea God’s Scepter break.

The most important part of the Sea God’s Scepter was actually the gemstone on it, [Heart of the Tides]; the scepter’s shaft could be replaced at any time.

Therefore, even if the Sea God’s Scepter broke, holding the [Heart of the Tides] in one’s hand would still grant the Sea God’s power.

Shouting in anger, Onatu immediately flicked his tail, chasing after the [Heart of the Tides].

Lu Heng’s eyes flashed with brilliance. Moving faster, he used [Void Flash] and appeared instantly in front of the [Heart of the Tides], grasping the gemstone in his hand.
