The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1260 - 479: Half-Step Deity, Sword Thunder Child_2

"Can Little Sword Sword really capture the Divinity of the Drowning God Monarch?"

"If that’s really the case, it would be great. Little Sword Sword’s contract is not like a normal one. If it can ascend to godhood just like Grandpa Mu Yi, maybe Big Tadpole wouldn’t have to suffer, right?"

GuaGua stretched its neck, brimming with curiosity.

An exhaustive search through history would yield no second being with dual authority above the Seventh Rank, not to mention the one who severed the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, gaining an extra Contract Imprint.

Sword Thunder Child is irreplaceable to Big Tadpole. If it could advance even further, its value would be immeasurable.

"Whoosh!"

Waves rolled, shimmering in azure brilliance.

This was an epic and magnificent scroll of a painting; sky as the mirror, earth as the shadow, water’s suppleness and wind’s fury, causing mountains to collapse and trees to snap.

The blazing sun, as always, perched at the heart of the heavens, observing diamond-like waves crashing down from the skies, confirming the haughty sea beasts prostrating before Kūn Líng, and finally, waves crashing against rocks, tides stepping over mountains. A quarter of the Solar Abyss was irrigated by seawater.

"Whoosh..."

The seawater receded.

It surged violently but settled calmly in the end.

Sword Thunder Child was stuck in the damp earth at the center, for a full half-year.

Those destructive waters, for some unknown reasons, had 99.9% of their power evaporated away.

The little that remained, dreaming of causing fundamental damage to the natural landscape, was sheer folly.

"Wow, Little Sword Sword is just like the legendary Needle of the Sea!"

"It actually managed to hold back the backlash from the death of the Drowning God Monarch all by itself!"

Day and night, GuaGua stood guard beside Ye Hanjun, but its eyes also kept constant watch on the seawater.

One day, the humid air suddenly grew a tad sultry, a slight burning sensation peculiar to the Solar Abyss faintly resurfaced in perception.

The sharp Little GuaGua immediately perked up.

It anticipated eagerly, eyes wide with expectation.

Suddenly, Sword Thunder Child pulled up its blade tip, carrying a sky full of lightning and mist, flashing before Ye Hanjun.

"This is..."

Ye Hanjun stumbled over his words, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The overall shape of the Cross Thunder Sword hadn’t changed much, the only thing being a water-blue Crystal Stone now embedded in the hilt.

The Crystal Stone was exquisitely clear, possessing the nobility of gemstones and the moistness of fine jade, a rare treasure scarcely seen in the world, also an uncommon marvel in the mortal realm. Embedded upon it, it blended seamlessly as if it had always been one entity.

"Yay! Little Sword Sword has ascended!"

"It has divinity now! I can feel it!"

GuaGua, hopping excitedly, was more than willing to throw up its hands and feet for a jubilant celebration.

With a smile lingering on his lips, Ye Hanjun released a "Talent Identification," probing further into the results of the ascension.

"The name hasn’t changed, it’s still ’Sword Thunder Child’..."

"But the Skills list, beyond Thunder Law, has now mastered Water Element Laws..."

Ye Hanjun evaluated roughly, although it’s just the initial steps of beginning the merge, in essence, Sword Thunder Child’s divinity is very close to Zhe Yu.

The Drowning God Monarch truly had an inseparable connection with the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign. In just half a year it was able to absorb the remaining divinity, and along with it, solve the ocean disaster that even Mu Yi found taxing, restoring peace to the Solar Abyss.

The future of Sword Thunder Child—worth looking forward to!

If it too proves themselves and faces Divine Enthronement, that day facing the Heavenly Venerate, would that lofty Heavenly Punishment Sovereign’s countenance show disgust and ugliness?

As several thoughts flickered in his mind, without any sign, Sword Thunder Child stabbed into GuaGua’s buttocks.

"Ouch! Little Sword Sword, you backstabbed me!"

The little one exclaimed in shock, frantically trying to flee with hands and feet.

However, oddly, there was no blood flowing from its body, nor was there a wound to be seen; to all appearances, the Cross Thunder Sword seemed to be attacking it, but it actually had another purpose.

"Eh? Little Sword Sword, what are you really doing?"

"I’m not a Holy King yet, and I don’t have divinity. With your electric arcs crackling, I might not be able to withstand it!"

Little GuaGua twisted its head left and right, in an attempt to awaken Sword Thunder Child’s "conscience."

But Sword Thunder Child was unmoved, like a petrified sword, firmly fixed onto it.

"Whoosh—Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

All of a sudden, Ye Hanjun heard the sound of the waves, light at first, then heavy, slow at first, then quick.

Upon closer inspection, Sword Thunder Child’s blade edge was actually swirling with water currents. The transparent liquid containing divinity continuously infused into GuaGua’s body.

And GuaGua, who was impervious to a myriad of laws, this time did not repel the external energy but allowed the Water Element to irrigate its organs.

"It’s cold and comfortable~~~"

"Summer, beach, cool breeze, Big Tadpole... Why is there a feeling of vacation?"

The little guy couldn’t help but close its eyes, hands tucked together, cute and adorable, a look that would surely lure young women to smother it with kisses.

This process continued for half a month, and just as Ye Hanjun was watching eagerly, he inadvertently found that Sword Thunder Child’s ultimate skill, "Vast Sea Law: Water of Enthrallment," had vanished from its attribute panel.

Correspondingly, GuaGua’s attribute panel showed no new skills added.
