Chapter 958: Collecting Intel



The black serpent leader had already been a First-stage Divine Warrior prior to the bloodline awakening. Thus, his improvement wouldn't be as huge as a Demigod or Transcendent achieving it.

Nevertheless, for a First-stage Divine Warrior to advance to Sixth-stage Divine Warrior in one go was nothing short of a miracle for the black serpents.

After all, their Black Serpent Bloodline had never been strong, to begin with. If it were, the black serpents wouldn't have needed to rely on the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

In fact, if they had not encountered the pure Golden Dragon Bloodline by chance and raised a few Demigod-rank life forms, their Black Serpent Clan would have never dominated the Western Sea.

Even the black serpent leader reaching First-stage Divine Warrior was considered a miracle. The pure golden dragon blood could only improve the black serpent's physique and power to a certain extent. Without higher compatibility or bloodline awakening, too much golden dragon blood would become poison.

"Is this really my strength?" the black serpent leader was dazed.

Despite sensing the incredible vitality coursing through his body, he still couldn't believe his divine body would leap five stages with a single bloodline awakening. His blood also flowed more smoothly, and it was so much easier to draw strength from his divine body.

The weakness of the Black Serpent Bloodline had been mostly replaced by the advantages of the superior Golden Dragon Bloodline.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The black serpent leader could no longer be considered a Gold-horned Mutant Serpent after receiving his bloodline awakening; he was now a Gold-scaled Dragon-Serpent.

While he wasn't completely freed from the serpent bloodline, he could be considered a dragon.

"Congratulations on your successful bloodline awakening, Clan Leader!" the elder serpents and clan members praised with excitement.

The envy could also be seen in their eyes.

"Thank you for this invaluable blessing, my Lord! The Black Serpent Clan is forever in your debt!" the black serpent leader said with heartfelt gratitude.

With his first bloodline awakening, his future descendants would also enjoy the benefits of the Gold-scaled Dragon-Serpent Bloodline. If he could also partner up with another Gold- scaled Dragon-Serpent, their clan's future would be secured and not decline.

Nevertheless, that would also mean the Black Serpent Bloodline would eventually disappear.

"As such, while we don't know the precise location, we believe one of the Celestial Kingdom's settlements might be situated somewhere on the border that divides the inner and outer

seas,"

"That said, we also can't be too certain. Generally, marine life tends to avoid the border," the dragon-serpent leader added.

"Why is that?" Vaan asked. The topic piqued his interest.

"I can't say for the other marine life, but for our clan, it's an instinctive behavior towards danger. The Outer Sea isn't a forgiving place for weak life forms, my Lord. Even I do not dare to venture into that black sea," the dragon-serpent leader stated.

"I see," Vaan uttered thoughtfully.

If even a Divine-rank life form didn't dare to venture into the Outer Sea, then it must be a

truly dangerous place.

However, Vaan couldn't help but wonder.

Was the toxicity of that unpurified sea truly that lethal? Or were the sea monsters that were able to thrive in that place simply powerful?

Being powerful and non-sentient was a dangerous combination, but being powerful and sentient was an even more dangerous combination.

Ultimately, the Outer Sea was just not a place for the weak to survive. Such was the law of the

jungle. It was the survival of the fittest.

That said, Vaan couldn't help but think about Gehenna's Darksea Abyss Territory when he thought about the Boundless Sea's outer region.

Did they have a connection? Or was the black sea just a coincidence?

"Let us put aside the Celestial Kingdom's matter for now," Vaan changed the subject as he asked, "How many other marine clans rule the Inner Sea?"
