Chapter 708 386: Son of the Ancestral God (3)

If such a skill became useless the moment he faced an enemy one rank higher, wouldn't it be a joke?

For the time being, Su Ze could only think of two explanations.

'First, perhaps the energy attack was converted from accumulated physical damage, which is why it isn't restricted...' But even Su Ze himself found this explanation a bit far-fetched.

'The second possibility is that the Son of the Ancestral God has something on him, or has mastered a special skill, that breaks the domain's rules.'

Comparatively speaking, the second explanation was more plausible.

However, the terrifying energy attack was about to strike, and Su Ze had no time to dwell on it.

His liquid body was nearly immune to physical attacks, but he was still very wary of powerful energy attacks.

A powerful energy attack could instantly destroy his liquid body; it was even possible for it to completely vaporize him.

Su Ze directly activated his "Sponge Body" skill.

The energy that hit him was continuously absorbed, and his "Sponge Body" instantly reached saturation.

Crucially, he couldn't condense the energy in his body into fruits to hurl at his enemies, as the restriction of the Forbidden Demon Domain still applied to him.

'My own skill isn't restricting my enemy, but it's restricting me instead.' This was, without a doubt, a fucked-up situation, but Su Ze couldn't afford to deactivate the Forbidden Demon Domain.

The Forbidden Demon Domain might be useless against the Son of the Ancestral God, but it was still restricting the other members of the Dou Race.

After his "Sponge Body" was saturated, Su Ze's liquid body was immediately ravaged by the energy attack. His body continuously evaporated, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of it was gone.

If he weren't in his liquid form right now, it would be equivalent to losing half his body—a grievous injury.

Su Ze immediately shattered his Regeneration Core to repair the damage to his body.

However, one small Regeneration Core was clearly not enough to completely repair his massive body. Fortunately, at this moment, the saturated energy within him finally had a use.

Ever since he integrated the Regeneration Core into his "Sponge Body" skill, he could use the absorbed energy to replenish and accelerate the formation of the Regeneration Core.

Therefore, Su Ze converted all this energy into life energy to re-form the Regeneration Core.

The newly formed Regeneration Core shattered again, repairing Su Ze's body...

Through this cycle, Su Ze ultimately withstood the attack and consumed all the energy in his body to repair all his injuries.

He was completely unscathed.

The Son of the Ancestral God looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe that his full-power strike, launched with a 9th-rank Divine Artifact, hadn't managed to harm Su Ze in the slightest.

'How am I supposed to fight this?'

In fact, after launching this attack, the Son of the Ancestral God no longer had the power to sustain the consumption of the 9th-rank Divine Artifact.

If he hadn't attacked and only used the powerful Defense Power granted by the 9th-rank Divine Artifact, he could have lasted much longer. But firing that one Palm Energy Cannon blast had almost completely drained him.

However, he was still struggling to hold on, trying not to show weakness, and still maintaining his Metallic Defense.

Su Ze didn't know how much longer the Son of the Ancestral God could last, but he had no interest in continuing to beat on a lump of iron. Besides, after that last attack, he also knew that his own attacks would charge that 9th-rank Divine Artifact belt.

So he decisively gave up on the Son of the Ancestral God as an opponent and turned to attack the other Dou Race Moon Gods.

Since he couldn't do anything to the Son of the Ancestral God, and the Son of the Ancestral God couldn't do much to him either, he might as well give up on this enemy for now.

It wouldn't be too late to turn back and deal with him once the Son of the Ancestral God was unable to sustain the energy consumption of the 9th-rank Divine Artifact.

Su Ze could use this time to first eliminate the other Dou Race Moon Gods. On one hand, he could use his Bloodthirsty skill to increase his strength; on the other, he could also clear the way for Lin Hua and the others to enter the battlefield.

With these Moon Gods present, the dozen or so Star Gods from Zexing couldn't enter the fray at all. But as long as these Moon Gods were eliminated, he believed that Lin Hua and the others, coordinating with the Hundred-Change Flower, would definitely stand a fighting chance against the Dou Race Star Gods.

If these people from Zexing wanted to grow, combat was essential. The evolutionary path after the god-level was paved with bones; only through constant killing and plundering could one become stronger and stronger.

Su Ze couldn't protect them forever. He had to let them be baptized in a rain of blood, even if it meant taking some risks.

Seeing Su Ze charge toward them, the remaining nine Dou Race Moon Gods scattered and fled. The Son of the Ancestral God also quickly followed, trying to stop Su Ze.

But Su Ze was extremely fast, too fast for the Son of the Ancestral God to catch. He activated his Evolutionary Sense, scanned the nine fleeing Moon Gods, and targeted the one with the most Origin Gene available to plunder before giving chase.

The distance between him and that Moon God grew shorter and shorter. He suddenly shrank his body and, with a Space Jump, appeared behind his target.

The weapon seed in his hand transformed into a Long Sword, which he thrust toward the center of the Dou Race Moon God's back.

Inside the Forbidden Demon Domain, that Dou Race Moon God couldn't use any defensive skills. He could only draw a weapon and turn to block.

But how could he be a match for Su Ze? Within a few moves, he was struggling to defend himself, completely overpowered by Su Ze's strength. In the end, Su Ze landed a punch that grievously wounded him, forcing him to flee in a panic.

Su Ze caught up and, with one slash of his sword, split him in two from head to toe.

The Bloodthirsty skill devoured its flesh and blood energy. Su Ze plundered its Origin Gene, and in the blink of an eye, the Dou Race Moon God was reduced to a shriveled corpse.

Finally, Su Ze had killed the first Dou Race Moon God of this battle. The snowball effect had begun.

The other members of the Dou Race were filled with grief and indignation. They were being chased around their own lair by a Moon God from another race, who was slaughtering their comrades right in front of them.

The worst part was that they were utterly helpless. They couldn't stop him, couldn't fight back. Even if they all swarmed him at once, they couldn't do anything to Su Ze.

Frustration, helplessness, guilt... these feelings gnawed at their hearts like insects.

At this moment, the Son of the Ancestral God's face was as dark as a stormy sea. Realizing he couldn't stop Su Ze, he actually gave up the chase and even deactivated the metallic protection covering his body.

He flew off alone, heading swiftly toward a desolate corner of the planet.

The place was deserted, but he had designated it a forbidden zone, prohibiting anyone from approaching.

There, a vertical shaft built from special materials concealed the energy fluctuations from below.

As the Son of the Ancestral God shattered the well's opening with a single punch, a dense wave of Spatial Energy was released.

And beneath the well, there was a hidden... Teleportation Array!
