Chapter 588: Chapter 560: Demigod Level Peak, Protective Dragon Scale

After a long wait, the Underground Sea fell silent.

The Saint Dragon King gently set the small island down.

He stood at the edge of the island, gazing at the tranquil sea.

’After that display, the Naga Race’s Evil God probably won’t dare cause any trouble for a good while.’

The Naga hiding in the Underground Sea had also suffered grievous casualties.

The Elemental Crystal Nuclear Bomb had exploded too quickly.

Its blast radius was too large.

The Naga in the sea had no time to flee before they were killed in the blast.

Even the Naga outside the immediate blast radius were affected by the aftershocks and suffered heavy losses.

There was no telling how many Naga had been killed by the shockwave alone.

Li Wei decided it was time to leave.

He wanted to create some Magic Nuclear Bombs to leave behind for the Saint Dragon King, providing him with another means of attack.

This would allow the Saint Dragon King to conserve as much of his Power as possible, prolonging his ability to fight.

However, things didn’t go as planned.

Li Wei could create Magic Nuclear Bombs with a time-delayed detonation.

However, only he could control these bombs.

The moment they left his range of control, the ongoing chain fusion reaction inside would rapidly accelerate, causing them to detonate instantly.

As of now, Li Wei was still unable to create Magic Nuclear Bombs that could be stored and used separately from him.

The Saint Dragon King appreciated Li Wei’s good intentions. "Don’t worry about it," he said. "The Evil God just suffered a major defeat. He likely won’t be back for at least six months."

"And as for Saint Xi’s safety, you have no need to worry."

"If I feel I can no longer guard this place, I will take her away from here."

The Saint Dragon King assured Li Wei of Saint Xi’s safety.

In truth, Saint Xi was his own granddaughter. He would naturally do everything in his power to ensure her absolute safety.

He didn’t need Li Wei to tell him that.

Nevertheless, this greatly improved the Saint Dragon King’s opinion of Li Wei.

At first, he had merely seen Li Wei as Saint Xi’s companion.

Now, the Saint Dragon King understood that Li Wei wasn’t just Saint Xi’s companion, but also her family.

He could tell that Li Wei and Saint Xi had entered into a Soul Contract.

Their lives and deaths were bound together.

He had initially thought that Li Wei had gotten the better end of the deal.

But now it seemed that Li Wei and Saint Xi were equals, and neither had simply gotten lucky or taken advantage of the other.

The Saint Dragon King didn’t believe that Li Wei was only worried about Saint Xi’s safety because their lives were intertwined.

’Worrying that Saint Xi might get him killed is a completely different attitude from genuinely worrying for her safety.’

The Saint Dragon King could tell the difference.

He could see that Li Wei was genuinely worried about Saint Xi’s well-being, with no selfish motivations involved.

Since the Saint Dragon King had given his guarantee, Li Wei knew that a powerhouse like him would undoubtedly keep his word.

He was finally able to set his worries about Saint Xi’s safety aside.

And so, Li Wei told the Saint Dragon King that he was planning to depart.

"I’m leaving now. I’ll entrust Saint Xi to your care."

Although their lives were bound together, the Saint Dragon King didn’t try to force Li Wei to stay out of fear that his accidental death might also doom Saint Xi.

He had witnessed Li Wei’s capabilities firsthand and had confidence in him.

However, before Li Wei left, the Saint Dragon King did provide him with a safeguard.

"Keep this safe. It’s a Protective Talisman I’m giving you. It can withstand a full-power blow from a powerhouse at the Peak of Demigod Level."

A golden Dragon Scale floated into Li Wei’s hand.

Li Wei carefully put the Dragon Scale away and thanked him earnestly. "Thank you."

’It can withstand a full-power blow from a powerhouse at the Peak of Demigod Level.’

’This meant that as long as he wasn’t facing a Divine Spirit, this Protective Dragon Scale could save his life.’

True Divine Spirits resided in the heavens; the "Divine Spirits" one occasionally encountered in the mortal realm were all just false Evil Gods, not true Divine Level Powerhouses.

’This Protective Dragon Scale is practically a get-out-of-death-free card.’

Li Wei also finally understood the Saint Dragon King’s true level of strength.

’A powerhouse at the Peak of Demigod Level.’

’His combat Power is on par with a Divine Spirit.’

Li Wei fused the Protective Dragon Scale into his Fire Spirit Pearl Necklace.

The Fire Spirit Pearl Necklace itself had long since become useless to him.

Ever since acquiring his Flame Domain, he rarely used the necklace to restore his Mana.

Besides, after such prolonged use, the Magic Energy within the necklace was nearly exhausted.

It was the perfect vessel for the Protective Dragon Scale.

Although Li Wei was no Blacksmith, he didn’t need to forge the Protective Dragon Scale into a new piece of equipment.

He could easily accomplish the task of simply fusing the scale into the Fire Spirit Pearl by using his High Level Flame Rules.

Under the influence of the High Level Flame Rules, the Fire Spirit Pearl melted and flowed like amber, enveloping the Protective Dragon Scale before resolidifying into its spherical form.

Once finished, the result looked perfectly natural.

It was as if a golden Dragon Scale had grown right inside the Fire Spirit Pearl.

Li Wei glanced at Saint Xi and bid her farewell.

"Saint Xi, goodbye for now."

"I’ll be back for you when you wake up."

Saint Xi, completely immersed in the trials of the Holy Dragon Inheritance, could not respond to him.

After saying his goodbyes, Li Wei turned and left the small island.

He flew off in the same direction the Mermaid Princess had led them from.

The journey was peaceful; he encountered no attacks from the Naga.

The Naga’s experts had suffered devastating losses in the recent explosion.

They were in no mood to attack Li Wei now.

Li Wei reached the exit of the Underground Sea without incident.

He tried to exit, only to find that the spatial membrane at the mouth of the cave only allowed passage in, not out.

Just as he was puzzling over how to get out, the spatial membrane turned transparent, revealing the figure of the Mermaid Princess on the other side.

"You can come out now," the Mermaid Princess said.

Li Wei quickly flew out.

Passing through the spatial membrane, Li Wei returned to Sea Abyss City.

Back to a world filled with seawater.

GLUG!

The Mermaid Princess blew a bubble.
