558: Chapter 558 The Second World Rune

The fish-head worms and fish-head octopuses on the ground also made their moves.

Completely disregarding the injuries on their bodies, they sprang like they were fitted with springs onto the demons and fiends, and then directly detonated themselves on the spot.

Many fiends and demons were blasted into a daze.

Although the damage wasn't high, it was enough to injure them.

Not only that, but on the blasted wounds, some grey mucus writhed, imperceptibly invading their bodies.

A demon saw his dazed teammate and just wanted to go up to remind him, when the injured demon raised his hand and fired a demonic fireball, blasting the teammate flying.

Continuous explosions and screams rang out in the camp.

...

Nie Ning winced as he watched this scene.

It was too tragic.

The lingering effects of this thing were still too great, and turning completely into a Corruptor was even more incredible—a powerful combat machine with unlimited improvement.

What a pity, recently the Corruptor had brought out all his psychological shadows.

If it weren't for the need to avoid the several Tier 9s, he wouldn't have come up with such a lousy trick.

Looking at the heavily casualties among the fiends and demons, Nie Ning couldn't help raising his head to look above. Through the wind and snow, the outline of a huge palace could be vaguely seen.

That was precisely the place where Isidor and the other three Tier 9s were obtaining the 'World Beacon'.

After such a commotion, I'm afraid Isidor and the others would soon come down to investigate.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning did not stay any longer.

He had to find a place to use the gene potion as soon as possible, and then return before anyone discovered him.

Leaving his ice and snow avatar in place, Nie Ning activated the Clear Heart Evil-Warding Bead and Soul Concealment Technique, then transformed into a plump white bug, using his sharp teeth to drill through the ice layer and leave.

...

Swimming in the sea for about ten minutes, he stopped only when he could no longer sense the energy fluctuations of the camp.

Using his ice-control ability to create an ice house in the sea, Nie Ning then took out the prepared gene potion and drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps because it was marine creature DNA, Nie Ning did not feel any heat; instead, there was a cool sensation, just like bathing in the sea breeze.

This state did not last long, not even as long as using the Mutated Giant Dragon gene. In just five minutes, this change had already ended.

Following that was an abstruse and profound feeling, and some inexplicable feelings surged into his heart.

Blue light and shadow gathered in front of Nie Ning's chest.

As time passed, the blue light condensed and formed, slowly transforming into a peculiar, constantly changing blue rune.

...

At the same time, in the pitch-black deep sea.

Inside a meteorite floating within, a strange silver dragon was sleeping.

But just at this moment, the Mutated Giant Dragon slightly frowned, and then suddenly opened its eyes.

The Mutated Giant Dragon slowly raised its head, its gaze seeming to pierce through the meteorite, looking towards the boundless depths of the ocean, revealing a look of deep thought within its huge silver-blue vertical pupils.

...

Nie Ning inside the ice house opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the constantly changing blue rune in front of his chest.

world rune!

A look of joy appeared in Nie Ning's eyes.

"Hard work pays off; I've finally managed to create a world rune."

With this world rune, half of his plan was already completed.

Nie Ning tried to control the world rune, and a powerful force instantly poured into his entire body.

Although it felt great, Nie Ning frowned.

To think it didn't break through to Tier 8!

This wasn't a good thing for him.

Although he didn't lack this bit of enhancement and was still trash when facing Tier 9s, it could at least serve some psychological comfort.

"It seems I still understand too little about the Power of the World."

Nie Ning sighed inwardly.

At least according to his thoughts, now that his strength had risen to Tier 6, the enhancement from the Power of the World should have at least reached Tier 8.

However, Nie Ning did not pay too much attention to this matter.

The most important thing now was to try to sense the location of the world core.

Nie Ning closed his eyes, and his Spiritual Power amplified by the Power of the World began to spread. An inexplicable attraction arose from the bottom of his heart, as if guiding him to a certain place.

Goal achieved!

Sensing the location of the world core, the subsequent matters would become a bit simpler.

As long as he took the opportunity while Isidor and other powerhouses lured out the World Guardian, he could sneak into the core space and start his next step of the plan.

...

"I have to go back."

Nie Ning stood up, melted the ice house, and then transformed into a big fish, swimming toward the direction of the camp.

But as soon as he returned to a place more than twenty kilometers away from the camp, Nie Ning was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, massive sea beasts continuously passed by Nie Ning. Some even wanted to attack Nie Ning to replenish their physical strength, and their destination was precisely the direction of the camp!

In other words, the location of the camp had already been discovered by the sea beasts!

Just when Nie Ning was hesitating whether to move forward, a powerful pressure accompanied by a pitch-black shadow swam past from below.

Nie Ning was shielded by the Power of the World, so he was not detected by the powerful creature in the sea.

But looking at the sea beasts constantly passing by his side, Nie Ning couldn't help opening his huge fish mouth.

'Forget it, I'd better go wait for them at the world core.'

Although he thought highly of Isidor and the Capybara succubus, creatures that ate with their brains always had many crafty ideas after all.

But the problem was, there was still a peak Tier 8 Corruptor in the camp!

Of course, this was the data before he left.

If a massive battle broke out among the three parties, ghost knows to what extent that Corruptor could grow.

Experience from using the Corruptor multiple times told Nie Ning that he probably caused trouble again...

Unfortunately, there probably wouldn't be any deity coming to help this time...

Nie Ning thought about it, and it might not be certain.

What if Isidor could summon Nales? Even if it were just a projection, it would be enough to subvert the entire world.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning's swimming body suddenly stalled.

A huge problem had occurred!

If Nales came over, he feared he would have nowhere to hide, and it was even more likely that the other party would detect his plan!

Because the mighty power of a deity was unimaginable, it would most likely discover the world rune within his body, thereby peeping into his intentions.

'Damn it, I'm both stupid and unlucky!'

Nie Ning couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Calculating everything, he never expected things to turn out like this!

If that were truly the case, even if the deity didn't perceive his intentions, it would probably seize this world along the way.

In that case, his plan would fall short of success, and he would have wasted a huge amount of time.

For this, he hadn't even returned to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace to exchange for cultivation techniques.

Nie Ning was completely numb all over, having no idea what he should do next.

He hadn't expected that just a split-second difference in thought would give rise to such complications.

At this moment, Nie Ning could only pray that Isidor would not summon a deity; otherwise, he was really going to be in deep trouble this time.

Just as Nie Ning was letting his imagination run wild, a huge dark shadow had quietly crept up behind him.

By the time Nie Ning discovered it, it was already too late.
