Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 844 - 36: Vertical and Horizontal

Not long after stepping into the pitch dark entrance, Tang Xian saw light.

Although this place was in the deepest area of the Hungry Sea, the water soon became shallower, as if separated by some force.

Tang Xian wasn't surprised, for such methods were common among the beast deities.

After walking for a while, the sea had become shallow enough to only cover his knees. It felt like walking in a cave, with the corals resembling stalactites.

The visibility inside the cave became increasingly wider. Moving further, Tang Xian discovered the source of the light.

It was the fluorescent sea algae exclusive to the deep sea, thriving in utter darkness, their light not attracting large sea creatures but instead, due to their color, signaling danger to other beings.

However, in the Hungry Sea, these plants were nearly devoured to extinction.

What Tang Xian didn't expect was the extremely orderly fashion these creatures were lined up in.

Red, orange, yellow, green, purple, gray. There were six colors of fluorescent creatures in total, dividing the entire pitch-black cave into six colored zones.

Tang Xian was now enveloped in a warm yellow light.

There were no traps, nor any other animals. Tang Xian couldn't sense any dangerous aura.

"It really does seem like just an ordinary tomb," Tang Xian thought to himself.

This was not for lack of vigilance; his sensing ability had reached a rather abnormal level. Aside from the seaweed, there was almost no sign of life.

"But why leave all this fluorescent algae here?"

Tang Xian was puzzled. Too intellectually challenging a test should not be the style of the God of Destruction, and at the end of the cave, he felt something similar to the aura of a Soul Crystal.

He didn't approach it directly but guessed that perhaps the legacy of the God of Destruction was His Soul Crystal? A beast deity's Soul Crystal was naturally rare, but the God of Destruction, as a calamity-level being...

Tang Xian didn't think too much of it and started to carefully observe the algae.

The fluorescent sea algae were not like other seaweeds that formed slender strips but rather shaped like flags, constantly waving. The entire cave flickered between brightness and darkness due to this movement.

"Eh?"

Tang Xian noticed a particularly conspicuous piece of swaying algae, and on the back side, he saw some marks similar to written inscriptions.

Now intrigued, he approached the algae.

The moment Tang Xian's hand touched the fluorescent algae, its glow became even more dazzling, revealing the inscriptions more clearly.

"This is actually human language?"

It was not some obscure language; otherwise, Tang Xian might wonder if his father had been here too.

The inscriptions on the fluorescent algae were in English, the most widely used human language. The handwriting was very sloppy. Although Tang Xian didn't understand calligraphy, especially English calligraphy, one could still sense an arrogance through the inscriptions.

Tang Xian didn't read it straight away, but looked around and realized that only this piece of algae bore inscriptions, which led to a certain conjecture.

"It seems that records only exist on the algae situated in conspicuous locations. But are these the God of Destruction's notes?"

Tang Xian found it hard to imagine the God of Destruction speaking human language.

He began to read the content on the algae.

The warm yellow fluorescent algae contained descriptions about one of the six beast deities, the Silver Galaxy.

It mainly cataloged various abilities of the Silver Galaxy.

Abilities similar to the Time Stop Domain of the Shiling Beast, Spatial Shift, Instantaneous Movement, and other powerful techniques.

Each move was detailed thoroughly. Although the Silver Galaxy was gone, Tang Xian read with great interest, mainly because the God of Destruction's records were extremely detailed. Before the Silver Galaxy performed different moves, the muscle changes in various parts, the fluctuations of energy around, even some abstract sensations were clearly recorded by the God of Destruction.

All the records related to battle, with no other aspects noted.

For instance, what the Silver Galaxy was like as a person, whether its relationship with Bai Shuang was more than just a master-servant one, and so forth.

Tang Xian was actually more interested in these gossips, although he still memorized all the notes word for word.

At the end, there was a two-word evaluation about the Silver Galaxy — rather weak.

Tang Xian laughed and moved into the next zone, the orange-colored area.

As expected, he found another algae that recorded the information of a beast deity, the data about the Lost Bird on its back.

This was the most mysterious of all beast deities. The data about the Lost Bird in the records of the Xuan Bird was scarce. It is said to be the weakest among the six major beast deities in terms of combat power, but reading the notes of the God of Destruction on the algae, Tang Xian discovered that this Lost God had numerous abilities.

The most terrifying ability was the Domain of Everything Annihilation.

"The little black bird can disintegrate everything, different from the Judge. The Judge can decompose the power contained in the Soul Crystal but cannot disintegrate the actual matter. The little black bird melts everything."

"If one really has to battle it, the best choice is to use overwhelming speed, to beat its Soul Crystal to a burst in the sea of knowledge before the little black bird can deploy its various abilities."

"..." Tang Xian suddenly felt that he had some kind of misconception about the God of Destruction.

The previous Silver Galaxy was fine, as one could tell from the inscriptions that it was relatively courteous to the Silver Galaxy.

But it seemed that the Lost Bird and the God of Destruction had some relationship?

The name "little black bird" sounded so affectionate, right?

The key was that beating it until its Soul Crystal bursts was too cruel. No wonder after exchanging a move, the Red Emperor would fight to the death with him… The master was someone who didn't hold back when fighting, and the servant naturally followed suit.
