Chapter 75: Pulled off a Great Performance

“Hehe, so you’ve actually detected my presence? Human, I must admit, I’ve underestimated you.”

A peculiar and sinister black figure materialized in the air, surrounded by a dense shroud of black mist.

Within the mist, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed.

They exuded malevolence, chaos, brutality, and an intense malevolence.

At first glance, it was evident that this being was far from ordinary.

It instilled a deep sense of repulsion, making one yearn to vanquish it instantly.

Jichen responded with a faint smile, “Your design for this level is truly flawed, it’s apparent to anyone.”

This statement immediately caught the mysterious black figure off guard.

Ignoring its reaction, Jichen continued speaking with an air of ease.

“Allow me to speculate on why you would create such a poorly constructed level.”

“If this place is known as the Tidal Palace, then it would be reasonable to a.s.sume that the Tidal Beasts serve as its guardians.”

“However, in a deserted palace devoid of inhabitants and valuable treasures, what could possibly warrant their guardianship? That’s the first point of skepticism.”

“Those three crystal towers must possess some sort of mechanism. By destroying them, it triggers the central crystal tower. Moreover, you alone have appeared thus far. This raises the second point of doubt.”

“Therefore, I dare to speculate that both the crystal towers and the Tidal Beasts are employed to guard or, dare I say, imprison you.”

“I suppose my a.s.sumption isn’t far off, wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Red-Eyes?”

As his words subsided,

Without warning,

The black mist swiftly surged towards Jichen.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, numerous luminous chains with a faint green hue materialized in mid-air, firmly restraining the malevolent ent.i.ty.

One end of the chains snaked through the black mist, while the other end connected to various parts of the palace.

The deep green chains emitted a sizzling sound within the black mist, reminiscent of red-hot tongs being plunged into cold water.

“Ah ah ah! Curse that Tidal Lord! Trapping me in here for millennia! If I ever break free, I will make him my eternal servant!”

“Weak human, you came here seeking great power, didn’t you?”

“Now I offer you a chance. Destroy this crystal tower and aid my escape, and I will transform you into my loyal servant.”

“At that moment, you will possess power rivaling that of a deity, far surpa.s.sing the cla.s.s inheritance granted to you by the Tidal Lord, countless times stronger!”

Jichen stared at the black mist as if it were a fool.

“You have been imprisoned here for countless years, with no hope of escape.”

“And now you claim to offer immense power?”

“Who are you trying to deceive?”

Moreover, there’s a possibility that it will simply eliminate him upon being freed.

Becoming its servant or any such thing holds no interest for him.

Observing Jichen’s silence, the black mist continued with its tempting words.

“Perhaps, after millennia, no one has heard of my name. I was once the dominant ruler of the Blood-Eye Sea Clan, and the entire Western Ocean trembled beneath my shadow.”

“If it weren’t for the Tidal Lord’s treachery in trapping me here, I would have already conquered the entire ocean, standing on par with the deities.”

“As long as you a.s.sist in my liberation and grant me freedom, the entire Western Ocean will be yours to rule, surpa.s.sing the dominion of countless beings.”

Jichen felt somewhat powerless to retort.

Isn’t this just another scam, akin to those claiming to be Qin Shi Huang, asking for money?

This creature from the Blood-Eye Sea Clan couldn’t even come up with something more imaginative to deceive others.

At the very least, it should have presented a more appealing image.

With this ghastly appearance, its ill intentions are evident.

Seeing Jichen’s indifference and even a hint of mockery, the black mist finally realized it was being played and thrashed in anger against the seal, only to be scorched by the chains.

“d.a.m.n human, once I break free, I will imprison your soul, making you beg for death!”

Jichen wore an indifferent expression and even went as far as to clean his ears. He wasn’t afraid, but did he come here for nothing?

After all the fighting, he still hadn’t obtained the promised special main cla.s.s. It was truly disappointing.

Just as he sighed and contemplated how to leave this wretched place, a deep voice suddenly echoed.

“So, you’re still trying to escape, the audacity of a thief. Fortunately, the Tidal Lord left me with this consciousness to deal with the current situation.”

Upon hearing this voice, the black mist trembled slightly and immediately began to hysterically protest.

“Tidal Lord, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Release me now!”

“I only killed a few thousand of your underlings, isn’t millennia of imprisonment enough compensation?”

Unfortunately, this voice, seemingly emanating from the distant heavens, appeared unwilling to listen to its pleas.

“Hmph, demons truly can’t be trusted. In that case, I will completely seal you within the Tidal Palace, exiling it to the Void, where you will endure endless eons of imprisonment in the boundless darkness.”

“Let that serve as a lesson to you… Huh? Why is there a human here?”

In the vast emptiness, it felt as though a pair of eyes were observing them.

Jichen’s expression finally turned serious.

This profound voice should be the true consciousness left behind by the Tidal Lord, while the black mist was an imposter.

He took out the magical map from his backpack and presented it.

“I am Jichen. I have come from afar following the guidance of this map, seeking to obtain the inheritance of the Tide Lord’s cla.s.s.”

As if recognizing the map in his hand, the deep voice suddenly comprehended.

“So, it’s the magical map crafted by the true Tidal Lord. No wonder you found your way here.”

“Let me think… according to his intentions, as long as you follow the magical map and pa.s.s certain trials, you can obtain the cla.s.s’s inheritance.”

“However, due to the pa.s.sage of time, the imposed trial procedures have malfunctioned, allowing this demon to take advantage and nearly destroy the crystal tower.”

“But the true Tidal Lord had already antic.i.p.ated this possibility. Even if the crystal tower was destroyed, the seal would still remain, as the tower was merely a facade.”

Upon hearing these words, the black mist instantly lost its composure and erupted in curses.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Weren’t you supposed to release the seal by destroying the crystal tower? You tricked me! I’ll—”

“Hmph, and what if I deceived you?” sneered the lingering consciousness of the Tidal Lord. “Does it really matter? It’s all going according to plan. I always enjoy putting on a good show.”

Having said that, it paid no further attention to the wildly cursing black mist.

Addressing Jichen, it continued, “Human, although you didn’t pa.s.s the true cla.s.s inheritance trial, the fact that you were able to deal with so many Tidal Beasts and see through this demon’s plan is enough to demonstrate your exceptional strength and wisdom.”

“I believe that even if the true Tidal Lord were here, he would agree to grant you his inheritance directly.”

“So, are you willing to accept the Tide Lord’s inheritance?”

Jichen’s face lit up with immense joy.

It was a feeling of regaining what was lost.

Just a moment ago, he thought this place was nothing but a prison with no rewards. But now, he was being told that he could directly obtain the cla.s.s inheritance.

It was like going from a dead end to a clear path, a sudden burst of brightness after the darkness!

Without any hesitation, Jichen firmly replied, “I am willing to accept.”

“Good! In fact, this central crystal tower is the key to obtaining the inheritance.”

“Now, I will a.s.sist you in the cla.s.s inheritance.”

The crystal tower trembled slightly.

A dazzling light emitted from the top of the tower, enveloping Jichen..
