Using a specific method to stir the undercurrents and make the ruinsâ treasures from the lower layers float up?
Liu Jun couldnât help but exclaim in awe.
These people were all experts at "scavenging the sea."
Tenth Tierâno wonder this was a diving civilization.
"The Nation of Waves periodically stirs this stretch of the Sea of Chaos."
Haimisa said, "Every few years, the major civilization facility nodes in various places will form a special resonance and churn up a super-massive ocean current."
"When the Heaven-Piercing Current rises, thatâs a grand age in itself."
Haimisaâs eyes were full of longing, as if recalling those beautiful times,
"Treasures swirling all over the sky surging upwardâyou canât even imagine how spectacular that scene is."
"But when性é ancient Divine Objects shoot out, itâs also a siege of Law monsters born from Divine Object manifestations."
"Of course, over ninety percent of the Divine Objects that rush up are from modern powerhouses who entered the ruins to salvage over these years."
Liu Junâs expression turned strange.
Treasures soaring to the heavens?
Monsters besieging the city?
These people go out to fight and snatch treasures?
Chances are, every time there are heavy casualtiesâmost of you participating in the event will become one of the treasures that gets washed up by the next current, right?
This Sea of Chaos is basically a prize pool being topped up.
One powerhouse after another throws their Divine Objects in after death, letting the treasure hoard build up endlessly.
Liu Junâs expression grew ever more peculiar as he thought to himself, "No wonder you can never completely empty out the treasures in this Sea of Chaos."
If this sixth-generation Nation of Waves died abruptly and exploded right on the seafloor...
It likely also fused into this Sea of Chaos, the entire massive civilization becoming treasures for the next generation to excavate.
And where would the next generationâs civilization come from?
From a branch line of the Nation of Waves.
Some Vassal State becomes the seventh-generation Nation of Waves, comes to station here again, builds an undersea city, and digs up the previous generationâs inheritance.
This cycle repeats, each generation of civilization depositing itself here layer by layer.
What a fine historical curse!
Liu Jun listened with a surge of emotion, but what came out of his mouth was praise for them:
"This place really is wonderful. It seems that in order to explore the Sea of Chaos, youâve already developed all sorts of flawless and mature systems."
"But of course."
Haimisaâs face was full of excitement as he said:
"The wheel of civilization keeps rolling forward. With all kinds of technologies being pioneered, weâre destined to conquer this boundless Sea of Chaos!"
"And for those Supreme Tenth Tier, to break through to a higher heartbeat, they likewise need a higher-pressure cultivation environment."
"Only with higher water pressure can they better break through!"
Liu Jun nodded.
The cultivation method of the Supreme Tenth Tier was diving.
Liu Jun had already discovered this during his earlier dives.
By relying on higher water pressure, he could raise the quality of his Divine Vortex and continually temper his Divine Objects.
But higher water pressure also meant that when surfacing, he needed to decompress slowly.
Otherwise, if he rose too fast and the water pressure plummeted, his heartbeat frequency would lose control, and heâd explode on the spot, blasting into a Chaos sun right then and there.
Liu Jun added, "I noticed those ordinary Tenth Tier seem able to devour Divine Objects and merge them into their own..."
"Thatâs a heretical path, the route we mud-legged folk cultivate. You absolutely mustnât do that!"
Haimisa was startled.
If this young master suddenly had a brain cramp and copied them ordinary Tenth Tier by eating Divine Objects to cultivate... the forces behind him would probably snuff him out instantly!
After all, every Supreme Tenth Tier needs an astronomical amount of Heaven-Opening Divine Power resourcesâtens of thousands of heartbeats just to succeed.
Resources are one aspect; finding someone with that kind of talent is also extremely difficult.
In his view, this young master had most likely snuck out on his own and didnât even know the basic cultivation methods of the outside worldâs grassroots Tenth Tier.
"Only ordinary Tenth Tier will eat other peopleâs Divine Objects, making their own Divine Objects more and more jumbled!"
"After all, their Tenth Tier Divine Object is already fixed. Even if they eat other Divine Objects, they only distort the shape of their own."
Haimisa explained.
Ordinary Tenth Tier could still cultivate.
They walked the path of devouring Evolution.
All the different Divine Objects they devoured could slowly influence their Divine Objectâs series attributes, mutating and evolving step by step!
But Supreme Tenth Tier could no longer do that.
Because they are of the [None] attributeâonce they devour someone elseâs Divine Object, the type of their Divine Object will be fixed, and theyâll never again be able to freely shift among different series!
"We ordinary Tenth Tier powerhouses also have our chances to rise."
At this point, Haimisa started chatting about some common knowledge,
"Though the Supreme Tenth Tier are powerful, their strength lies in their versatility. In battle, in essence, theyâre also transforming into some particular fixed combat Divine Object series."
"If an ordinary Tenth Tierâs Divine Object series is extremely strong, when fighting a Supreme Tenth Tier, they might not necessarily lose!"
"The only thing theyâre weak in is that they lack the power of transformation, which makes traveling a bit inconvenient."
Liu Jun shook his head.
"A bit" inconvenient?
Youâre locked into a single Divine Object series; no matter how heaven-defying that series is, it still limits your variability.
Youâre basically a big, dumb brute who can hit hard but canât execute long-distance movements in the void.
Haimisaâs eyes shone with longing as he continued, "Lord Black Sword is a King and Marquis among ordinary Tenth Tier, just a step below His Majesty of Waves..."
"Itâs said his combat power is no weaker than His Majestyâs!"
"Oh?" Liu Jun said in surprise. "So ordinary Tenth Tier also have people who stand at the very peak?"
"Naturally."
"Lord Black Swordâs origins were very humble. Otherwise heâd definitely have had the potential to impact the Supreme Tenth Tier. After he became an ordinary Tenth Tier, he kept diving and eventually encountered an ancient Supreme Divine Object."
"After devouring it, his fixed Divine Object series mutated... becoming unbelievably powerful, beyond imagination!"
