God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 649

"Since the Chief Palace Master is safe and sound, we are relieved. I hope Your Highness will not take this matter to heart. Everything we have done is for the sake of the Palace of the Four Cycles."

Caspian cupped his hands as he spoke.

They were all ancient monsters who had weathered countless storms. They understood the currents beneath the surface and were adept at reading expressions and adapting to circumstance.

Every word and gesture was measured. There was not a single flaw to grasp.

"Yes, I was too hasty just now. I apologize to Your Highness."

Linus laughed heartily and extended his hand toward Ember in an open and magnanimous gesture.

On the surface he smiled warmly, but in his heart dissatisfaction churned.

Valerius had secluded himself for half a year, and his aura now felt deeper than before.

If this continued, perhaps he would not even need the Hibiscus Fruit. This old fox might step into the Emperor realm on his own. And if he obtained a Hibiscus Fruit, he would likely have more than seventy percent confidence in breaking through to the Emperor realm.

Valerius watched their performances quietly, saying nothing.

Only after they had all finished speaking did he open his mouth.

"During my retreat, I gained some enlightenment, so my exit was delayed. I have now advanced further and am closer to opening the imperial path. If there are Hibiscus Fruits, I will have sufficient confidence to strike the imperial path, endure the punishment of heaven, and step into the Emperor realm."

"When that time comes, the crisis facing the Palace of the Four Cycles will naturally be resolved."

"Really?"

Caspian and the others exchanged glances.

As expected, this old man Valerius had taken another step forward.

He was edging closer and closer to opening the imperial path.

Meanwhile, they were still Ultimate Supremes. It would take time before they could reach the level of Perfect Supreme.

If this trend continued, the gap between the three clans and the Golden Phoenix clan would widen further. The Palace of the Four Cycles would truly fall under the sole dominance of the Golden Phoenix clan.

Yet at this moment, they had no choice but to endure and continue accumulating strength.

Ethan had to be captured. A Hibiscus Fruit had to be obtained.

Otherwise, in the future, they would have no capital to stand on equal footing with Valerius.

"Now that the Chief Palace Master has emerged from seclusion, it is time for us to act."

"The Sky family’s formation is extremely powerful. Without a Perfect Supreme taking action, it will be difficult to break through," Oberon said.

"Hmph. The Sky family hides well."

Valerius gave a light chuckle.

"I recall that among the three clans, there are also seniors in seclusion. Why not invite them out? Or could it be that you are unwilling to contribute to the Palace of the Four Cycles?"

The expressions of those present shifted slightly.

Caspian smiled faintly.

"There are indeed such seniors within our clan. But is that not also the case for the Golden Phoenix clan?"

"They are all ancestors in deep retreat. Unless it is truly a matter of life and death, we would not disturb them."

"If we summon our ancestors for every minor matter, would it not make all of us here seem useless?"

"Haha."

Valerius laughed softly and steered the conversation back.

"It has been delayed long enough."

"Mobilize half of the people here and follow me to the Sky family."

"This time, I want the white eyed wolves of the Sky family wiped completely from Blue Wave City."

His voice turned cold at the end.

Everyone accepted the order and dispersed to summon manpower.

Within a quarter of an hour, a large number of powerful figures had gathered.

Valerius surveyed them, a sneer rising silently in his heart.

Lunara, you wretched woman. Did you think that by breaking the blood contract technique, I would suffer backlash and be unable to return to my peak?

It was thanks to you that I gained fortune through misfortune and advanced further in cultivation.

Suppressing his thoughts, Valerius issued his command.

"Follow me to the Sky family. Except for Bella and Max, and those of the Sky family who possess exceptional weapon refining skills, leave no one alive."

His tone was icy, and a faint killing intent lingered around him.

"As you command!"

Their response was uniform and resolute.

Under Valerius’ leadership, the forces of the Palace of the Four Cycles surged into the sky, heading toward the Sky family in Blue Wave City.

...

Deep beneath Blue Wave City, within the ruins of the Star Emperor.

Ethan opened his eyes.

A green gold radiance flashed across his pupils.

He rose slowly, long hair cascading to his shoulders.

With a thought, three figures separated from his body.

These were the manifestations of One Energy Transforms into the Three Pure Ones.

Each clone had been cultivated to the same realm as the original.

After another baptism by the aura of the great dao, Ethan’s physical strength had ascended to a higher level. His divine power had grown more solid and abundant.

With the Hibiscus Heart within him, his body had become more resilient to wear and tear. It also carried a faint power of nurturing life.

A subtle aura similar to that of the hibiscus tree emanated from him.

Though it was far inferior to the true tree, something was better than nothing.

Half a year of cultivation had greatly enhanced Ethan’s combat power.

If he were to encounter Valerius now, he could easily defeat him.

Moreover, the Divine Flame Body Building Technique had reached a new height.

He had fused Luca’s original demonic fire, causing the power of the Pure Azure Fire to undergo a qualitative transformation.

Yet the most crucial change lay in the Nine Emperors Dao Body.

Just moments ago, the second Purple Tenuity Star had fully condensed within him.

The Purple Tenuity Star was now complete.

The second Star Secret Technique followed accordingly. The voice of the Star Emperor descended from the void and echoed in his mind.

The Secret Technique of the Stars. The Supreme Star Meteor Technique.

Ethan closed his eyes and began to comprehend this secret art.

After half a moment, he opened them once more.

The power of this second Star Secret Technique would grow alongside the Nine Emperors Dao Body.

The Supreme Star Meteor Technique drew upon the power of the stars, manifesting star projections in the external world and unleashing terrifying might.

Within his inner world, he had condensed the power of two stars, forming two star images.

He could now manifest both the Emperor Star and the Purple Tenuity Star externally.

The two stars could descend together against an enemy, easily crushing an Ultimate Supreme.

Such was the might of the Star Secret Techniques.

"Although I possess the One Energy Transforms into the Three Pure Ones technique."
