Wang Chen trained for three years within the inheritance land, and now he had reached the early stage of the Martial Spirit Realm. At the same time, he had also become a Level 4 Rune Master.

There were nine levels for Rune Masters, from Level 1, the lowest, to Level 9, the highest. Levels one to three were considered the beginner stage of a Rune Master. At this stage, they could only draw Runes using special materials to create ink, then engrave those Runes onto objects.

Levels four to six were the intermediate stage. A Rune Master at this level could already draw Runes using their own energy. Their energy itself would take the form of ink, which they could then use to draw Runes on specific mediums.

As for levels seven to nine, these belonged to the advanced stage. A Rune Master at this level no longer required any medium at all. They could draw Runes directly in the air, creating various attacks or defenses.

Now, Wang Chen was at Level Four, the intermediate stage, meaning he could already draw Runes using his own energy.

And after these three years, Wang Chen was now facing a major problem.

"Master..." Wang Chen could only fall silent as he looked at his master’s body, which had become extremely transparent, almost on the verge of disappearing.

"Hah… I told you from the very beginning that I couldn’t last much longer. In this soul form, I can only use the Runes I created while I was still alive, and only within this inheritance land. But using those Runes requires sacrifice. I consume my soul power every single moment, and now the time has almost come."

Ling Zhizun smiled gently, even though he did not have much time left.

"It’s because of my fault—"

"Wang Chen!" Ling Zhizun said in a raised voice. "Master does not want you to blame yourself! That will become a burden on your mind and heart, and it will hinder your growth in the future! Remember, everything I have done was Master’s own choice, and I had no other option. If you truly do not wish to disappoint Master, then erase all burdens from your heart and mind, and keep moving forward!"

Yes, even if he had not trained Wang Chen, sooner or later his soul would still have dissipated. He was already content to have gained such a talented disciple like Wang Chen in the final moments of his existence.

Wang Chen fell silent. He closed his eyes, engraving his master’s words deep into his heart as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He repeated this several times before opening his eyes again, his expression instantly becoming firm and resolute.

"Master, I will do my best and become the greatest Rune Master in the universe! As the disciple of Ling Zhizun, the God of Runes, I will not allow Master’s name to be ridiculed!" Wang Chen said with unwavering determination.

"Hm, that’s more like my disciple." Ling Zhizun smiled proudly. "Very well, Wang Chen. This is the time for parting, so Master will give you a gift."

"A gift?"

"Yes, a gift that will save your life when you are in a life-threatening situation!" Ling Zhizun pointed at Wang Chen. At that moment, light burst forth from his index finger and struck Wang Chen’s forehead.

Wang Chen felt a surge of power flowing through his body for several moments before it vanished without a trace, leaving him confused.

"Wang Chen, struggle on!"

Those were Ling Zhizun’s final words before his soul began to fade, eventually disappearing completely.

Wang Chen watched in silence. He said nothing and showed no reaction of any kind, even though, deep within his heart, he was crying.

He had lost everything—his family was dead, his home destroyed, his city reduced to ruins, the girl he loved had been kidnapped, and he had no idea what condition she was in now. And now, he had suffered another loss. Yet he did not show his grief. He stood tall with a firm expression, without the slightest hesitation on his face.

He could control his emotions extremely well.

"Master, watch me from above. Witness how your disciple climbs to heights that no one has ever reached before!" Wang Chen engraved this vow deep within his heart—a promise he would carry with him until death.

    Wang Chen, Yun Xuhua, and Su Xianlin entered the Deep Dark Sea using the bodies of Sirens that Wang Chen had modified into artifacts.As they descended deeper, Su Xianlin emitted the distinctive sound of a Siren to search for the presence of other Sirens through sound waves.When the sound waves Su Xianlin produced collided with something, they immediately realized that they had detected other Sirens.They headed toward the Sirens, and the other Sirens did the same. Soon, they encountered five more Sirens. The Sirens circled around one another for a moment, which was apparently how they greeted each other before going their separate ways.The deeper they descended, the more frequently they encountered Sirens, and the slower they became.Although they were unaffected by the water pressure, the density of dark energy deep within the Deep Dark Sea prevented them from moving as quickly as usual. The deeper they went, the slower they became."We're already at a depth of 1,000 kilometers, b

    "Finished."After two days of work, Wang Chen finally succeeded in turning the corpses of the three Sirens into artifacts.Their appearance was no different from before they became artifacts, as Wang Chen had preserved their skin and all of their external features. He had only replaced most of their internal organs with artifacts.Naturally, since they had become artifacts, the three Sirens now possessed various new abilities that Wang Chen had added, such as an ability similar to Yun Xuhua's eyes, but with the darkness element. Of course, it was nowhere near as powerful as the original Truth Light Eyes.Wang Chen could only imitate the basic functions of Yun Xuhua's eyes using Rune Arrays. There were some aspects that he could not reproduce through artifacts, causing the imitation to lack the deeper functions of Yun Xuhua's eyes.But that was already more than enough for them to investigate the Deep Dark Sea."But we only have three Sirens, so only three of us can use them. One perso

    After examining the memories of the three Sirens, Su Xianlin discovered several things, which she then explained.The Sirens indeed could not communicate using a language like humans did. Perhaps they had lost this ability after moving into the Deep Dark Sea. Since they could no longer see anything, they had become blind and instead communicated through sound waves.Su Xianlin compared their method of communication to that of certain marine species, such as dolphins and whales, which also communicated in this manner. By observing the patterns of their movements and the way their sound waves reflected and collided with the sounds of other Sirens, Su Xianlin reached the conclusion that once every ten years, the Sirens would gather in a certain place and surround it, creating a vortex by swimming around it.This explained why a massive vortex appeared on the surface of the Deep Dark Sea once every ten years. It turned out that tens of billions of Sirens were swimming around a single loca

    The Siren Tribe and the Southern Water Tribe have been in a long-standing conflict since ancient times, fighting over control of the Southern Sea.Both tribes possess a special ability that allows them to transform into half-fish forms.Physically, they are very similar, but there is one difference: the Sirens have darker skin due to their innate ability to manipulate darkness. They are somewhat similar to Elves and Dark Elves.One day, the Siren Tribe suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they had gone, and eventually, the Southern Water Tribe established the Sea God Sect, becoming the supreme ruler of the Southern Sea.Ever since the Sirens disappeared, the Southern Water Tribe had continued searching for them, but they never found any trace of their existence. Eventually, the Sirens were officially declared extinct.But now, the Sirens had been discovered once again in the most mysterious place in the Southern Sea—the Deep Dark Sea."So, what should we do with the

    After Wang Chen successfully obtained his Darkness Rune and drastically reduced the obstacles and pressure imposed by the Deep Dark Sea, he instead encountered creatures he knew only as legends from his previous life.They were half-human, half-fish creatures with horrifying appearances, their mouths filled with sharp teeth like spikes, while their ears resembled fish fins.They swam around Wang Chen. Thanks to their exceptional swimming abilities, they created only slight ripples in the water. The aura emanating from their bodies seemed to have completely merged with the Deep Dark Sea, making it impossible for Wang Chen to sense them until he released his dark energy.The Sirens, who had been concealing their presence and intended to ambush Wang Chen, now let out loud cries after their existence was discovered.“Ugh!”The Sirens’ cries were so loud that Wang Chen’s ears hurt terribly.“Hey, wait! I didn’t intentionally enter your territory. Can we talk?”Wang Chen had no idea there w

    Yun Xuhua, Su Xianlin, and Fu Yuan watched Wang Chen enter the sea. They were not particularly worried because they knew Wang Chen would be able to handle it.Of course, they did not let their guard down. They were all prepared to enter the sea immediately if anything happened to Wang Chen.Among them, Fu Yuan was clearly the most worried. It was obvious from her expression and restless movements.“There’s no need to worry so much, Fu Yuan. Wang Chen will definitely be fine.” Su Xianlin chuckled softly, finding Fu Yuan’s unusual behavior amusing.“Eh? Ah, I…” Fu Yuan felt embarrassed.“You don’t need to hide anything from us. We all love Wang Chen, don’t we?” Yun Xuhua smiled casually.After traveling together for such a long time, their relationship had grown much closer. Even so, Fu Yuan tended to hide her feelings, while Su Xianlin and Yun Xuhua were more open about theirs.It was clearly because Fu Yuan still considered her status inferior to Su Xianlin’s, so she tended to feel aw
