Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams

At the same time, he also noticed the hidden fear in the opponent.

It was clear that the Sixth-Order power of the Holy Shield Giant had been detected by her.

"Hmm."

Chen Feng nodded lightly as a response.

Subsequently, the three mermaids expressed their tearful gratitude and hurried to Della's side.

Meanwhile, a male mermaid in armor approached holding a coral box, and Chen Feng saw it was filled to the brim with thirty Blue Heart Stones.

"Thank you for escorting them back safely."

"May I invite you to visit and rest at our Mermaid Clan?"

Della extended the invitation, casting a glance at the massive shadow flying across the sky.

Chen Feng's interest was piqued; he had just been considering visiting the Undersea Storm to let the Holy Shield Giant attempt a deeper dive.

He nodded in agreement and instructed Trin and the others to wait for him there.

After everything was arranged, he finally stepped onto the back of the giant sea turtle, submerging together into the depths of the sea.

....

Whoosh.

A dimness enveloped them, with the sunlight struggling to penetrate the deep.

Colorful sea fish swam in all directions, with vibrant green seaweed visible everywhere.

A large group of red corals appeared in the ocean depths, growing robustly on the gravel, spanning widely like an underwater forest.

Exquisite palaces were clustered at the center, with walls inlaid with pearl and gemstone, emitting a soft glow that dispelled much of the gloom and illuminated the seabed.

Even though he had been here once before, Chen Feng still couldn't help but marvel at the scenery.

This was a unique scenery completely different from the land, a wonder of the ocean.

The coral box containing the Blue Heart Stones was placed on the ship at the sea's surface, but the Blue Heart Stones had already been absorbed by him before entering the sea.

[Metal Essence +1!]

[Metal Essence +1!]

Related prompts continued to appear on the panel, and finally, the progress of the Steel Bone Talent underwent a complete transformation.

[Steel Bone Level 5: 3/100]

The thirty Blue Heart Stones were completely consumed, with the excess portion continuing to serve as nutrients after the upgrade.

As expected, the effect was weak, and Chen Feng knew he needed more Blue Heart Stones to continue nourishing and accelerating the growth of the Steel Bones.

He was not disappointed because he understood well the current strength of his Steel Bones.

"Already slightly stronger than the hardness of the Star-level Vajra, enough to rival the Sixth-Order Transformed People."

"The volume of the growing Steel Bones has doubled, speeding increased dramatically, and another special enhancement has been gained as a result."

The changes from the talent upgrade brought inspiration, and Chen Feng carefully felt its strength.

Especially the special enhancement, which allowed him at the moment of growing the Steel Bones to leverage the surge in speed, gaining a powerful impact like a stabbing spear, comparable to a cannonball firing.

Wanting to try, he glanced at the giant sea turtle carrying him.

Shaking his head, Chen Feng finally suppressed his thoughts and followed to the outside of the mermaid clan's coral palace.

Magnificent pearls, the size of fists, were embedded all over, adorning the walls like bright lanterns.

The massive stone door was engraved with silver patterns, resembling some kind of special design.

"Sister Lina!"

"You're finally back!!"

Excited shouts rang out as numerous mermaids appeared nearby.

Some hurried over to greet the rescued three mermaids, while others hid behind corridor beams or shyly shrank among the corals, reluctant to appear.

"Please forgive us for the spectacle."

Della rose from the palanquin and spoke, and Chen Feng saw a very familiar face.

Long black wavy hair, white shells covering the peaks, and blue-green scales on the lower body, with a delicate and gentle appearance.

Fannie.

The first mermaid he had saved when he arrived in the Realm of the Dead.

As their eyes met, she seemed evasive, evidently still remembering the initial lie and unfulfilled promise.

"Back then, at the invitation of the Fishman Clan, I took some members and left the clan."

"Unexpectedly, the clan leader and others mysteriously disappeared, and there were humans enticing to hunt our Mermaid Clan."

With a look of regret, Della said with a hint of shame: "Unfortunately, I had a conflict with the Fishman Clan at that time and was seriously injured."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have let them wander outside in fear for so many days."

Hearing this, Chen Feng remained silent, stepped down from the back of the sea turtle, and controlled his balance to step on the ground.

"The Fishman Clan, how are they different from you?"

He noticed that Della seemed to want to show goodwill to him and took the opportunity to ask his curiosity.

"Mostly with fish heads and human bodies, divided into dozens of tribes, distributed north of Fishman Bay, near the Sea Split Canyon."

"Especially the Half-Shark Clan, which is the most powerful, with a new Saint born."

Della pondered for a moment, observing the mermaids coming and going around the palace, and revealed some secrets.

Only then did Chen Feng understand that she had been invited to the Fishman Clan because the Half-Shark Clan had welcomed a new Saint, so she went to attend the ceremony.

In deep thought, he recalled seeing similar Fishman-like beings in the murals of the Secret Realm in Yun Meng Forest on Earth Star.

Thinking of this, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Your Mermaid Clan has an unbroken heritage. Have you ever heard of the Ancient Tado Civilization?"

"Ancient Tado?" Della's eyes narrowed, her face full of surprise.

Seeing Chen Feng looking over seriously, she pondered for a moment before speaking.

"There was turmoil in our clan's history, and some records were lost or destroyed."

"However, there are indeed some records about the Ancient Tado Civilization."

"Oh?"

"It was a civilization that once ruled the world, an incredibly powerful human nation, far beyond comparison to the Holy Star Empire of the Southern Continent."

Della recalled: "Its alchemy technology was extremely advanced, even capable of defeating gods."

"But unfortunately, later on, there was a dramatic change in the world, and some kind of pollution emerged from the Earth's core, leading to the civilization's destruction."

"Pollution?" Chen Feng frowned.

"Ancient texts say it was caused by a powerful Evil God, corrupting and degrading many creatures..."

"And then?" Chen Feng thought she was likely referring to the Black Tide.

"Then came the chaotic era, which was the darkest time."

Della's expression turned heavy as she said, "The pollution continued, turning the Eastern Continent into a living hell, leaving even the Fertile Continent and Southern Continent on the brink."

"It was not until the emergence of nine True Gods, who spread the method of sequences and joined forces to repel the Evil God, banishing and sealing the Eastern Continent, that our current world came into being."

As she spoke, Chen Feng's mind sketched out the history of this world.

It wasn't vastly different from what Lei Long had said before, but it was more detailed.

"Since you possess the means to command Saint-level creatures, these matters shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?"

Della suddenly asked, and Chen Feng glanced at her.

Without explanation, he silently digested the corresponding history.

The Ancient Tado Civilization was even more powerful than he had imagined, not only ruling the former Earth Star but even dominating another world for an extended period.

Then, at Della's indication, he followed her into the palace and sat in a magnificent area lit by pearls.

Mermaids appeared again, offering undersea spring waters or presenting exotic fruits.

"Star Realm, how much do you know about it?"

Chen Feng asked again. Although Della was puzzled, she dared not ask too many questions.

She first answered willingly and then ordered someone to fetch records from the clan, allowing Chen Feng to read them.

The complex writings unique to the Mermaid Clan were initially meant to be translated and explained, but seeing that Chen Feng seemed to understand their language, there were no redundant inquiries throughout the process.

Ignoring their astonished looks, Chen Feng used Dream Power to receive feedback on the meanings.

The related records were not vastly different from those of the Snake Spirit Secret Realm's Holy City, suggesting that the Star Realm is vast, and their own world is just one among them.

There were once many ways to connect to the Star Realm, but later, as the nine True Gods fell asleep, these passages gradually disappeared or even became sealed.

"I see."

Gently nodding, Chen Feng gradually formed some assumptions and confirmations in his mind.

Putting down the records, he finally looked towards Della and the other waiting mermaids inside the palace.

"Take me to the Undersea Storm Cliff."

Though he felt that the hope was slim, he still wanted to take the Holy Shield Giant for a deep exploration.

To see if there really was a Blue Heart Stone vein.
