Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Chapter 240 He is the Son of an Ancient God

Ling Yi and Lin Chengtian looked over at the same time and saw the head of the Tian family.

There were many people around the head of the Tian family, and the voice just now belonged to one of the elders.

"It's alright." After the old man finished speaking, the Tian family head's cold voice rang out: "Eighteen is also missing."

Seventeen, eighteen?

After a moment's thought, Ling Yi remembered the two young men who were standing next to the Tian family head.

She remembered that one of them was in a team with the Tian family head, and the other should have been with the old man. Now that both of them were gone, Ling Yi was even more certain that the situation here was similar to that of the first level.

The first realm is about tracing back to the power of origin and generating the experience of the stronger of the two. How do we do it here?

"Ling Yi!"

Just as Ling Yi was pondering, Bai Qingjue ran over.

When Lin Chengtian saw that Ji Changrong had come alone, he knew that Baijiu was also missing. When Bai Qingjue saw that there were only the two of them, she also knew that the others were gone. She looked at Ling Yi with surprise in her eyes.

Only the team members know what happens in the first realm; no one else, not even the merfolk, can know. Therefore, Bai Qingjue did not know at first that the experience of the first realm was Ling Yi's, not Ji Yanzhi's.

But now that Ji Yanzhi is nowhere to be found, Bai Qingjue has discovered the problem.

Tracing back to the source of power between Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi, it turns out that Ling Yi is stronger than Ji Yanzhi.

Others, unaware of Ji Yanzhi's identity, wouldn't think much of it, but Bai Qingjue knew that Ji Yanzhi was the Messenger of Heaven. How could Ling Yi's source power be stronger than Ji Yanzhi's?

It doesn't make sense, but... considering that Ji Yanzhi and Ye Huanling both appeared by Ling Yi's side, it does make sense. I just don't know what Ling Yi's true identity is.

Upon hearing "Ling Yi," the Tian family head glanced at him indifferently before looking away.

"Where is this?"

"What kind of punishment will I receive?"

Where are the people around you?

Discussions continued, and everyone was somewhat panicked, worried that punishment would harm the missing person.

They were punished because they didn't want their own people to kill each other. If being punished would mean their own people would die, then what was the point of their actions?

Just as everyone was filled with worry, a huge water mirror appeared on the first level of the Refining Heart Realm. Looking at them in the water mirror was the merman who had activated the second mirror.

The merman's gaze swept around the room before finally settling on Ling Yi.

Upon seeing Ling Yi, the merman realized he had been deceived.

The moment Ling Yi met the merman's gaze, she knew he had figured it out, but it wasn't a big deal. She didn't answer directly at the time.

The merman looked away, raised his hand and waved it. The water mirror changed, revealing bubbles inside, each containing a person. These people were the teammates of the person who had entered this place.

The merman said, "The place where you are being punished is called the Refining Heart Realm. The Refining Heart Realm is divided into three levels. Once you pass through the first two levels, you can enter the third level to save your teammates. Not only that, the third level also contains the 'Golden Pearl,' a treasure of the Sea God Kingdom. Whoever obtains the Golden Pearl can gain a portion of divine power."

"Divine power?"

"What do you mean?"

"The divine power he's talking about, could it be the power of a 'god' that has already vanished?"

Amid the crowd's discussion, the merman proclaimed, "You are right, it is indeed the power of 'god'."

Hey!

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

The 'gods' have disappeared, and everyone knows how precious the power of the gods is. The Sea God Kingdom possesses the power of the gods, yet it is willing to give it up. It truly deserves to be called a secret realm from the era of the gods!

"Before that, I must tell you all that the 'Golden Pearl' is the power of the King of the Longevity Sea, who is the ruler of the Sea God Kingdom. Therefore, those who devour the Golden Pearl, regardless of gender, will become mermaids and acquire the characteristics of the 'King'."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi abruptly looked up at the merman, who was also looking at Ling Yi.

Their eyes met, and Ling Yi understood what the merman was thinking.

Jin Zhou is the ruler of the Sea God Kingdom, which had not appeared since the disappearance of the gods. Now that it has reappeared, the merfolk, as the guardians of the Sea God Kingdom, know very well that Jin Zhou has awakened.

The merman has not yet seen Jin Zhou, but he has some suspicions. As for Tian Yan... the merman noticed something different about Tian Yan, and Tian Yan should be the merman's suspect. However, the merman is not sure whether Jin Zhou is with Tian Yan or not.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, the merfolk wanted to give Jin Zhou a reason to "come out into the open" without being suspected, and the Golden Pearl was the most suitable reason. In addition, Ji Yan said that the Golden Pearl was about to become ineffective, and once it became ineffective, it would trigger subsequent events. So, it's also plausible that Jin Zhou would awaken the other guardians of the divine kingdom.

As Ling Yi thought, the merman only suspected Ji Yanzhi, but was not sure. When he looked at Ling Yi, he was just reminding Ling Yi that if Jin Zhou was with them, he must seize the golden pearl.

"Now, the passage to the third level of the Heart Refining Realm has been opened. You can begin your actions." After the merman finished speaking, the image in the water mirror began to gradually disappear.

Once the water mirror completely disappeared, an endless staircase descended from above and stopped in the center of the first floor.

The stairs were wide, and someone immediately said, "Since we're all here, it means we're all kind-hearted people who don't want to hurt our friends. The golden pearl is on the third floor, and the people we each want to save are also on the third floor. Why don't we peacefully go to the third floor and then make our move?"

Some agreed, some remained silent, but...

All of this is beyond their control!

One by one, shadows descended the steps and plunged into the crowd. Fortunately, those who came here were all highly skilled and reacted quickly to dodge. At this moment, no one had time to speak or fight, because they had a common enemy: these shadows!

But dealing with these shadows is also troublesome. With so many of them together, they can't take care of others when their power spreads, making it easy to hurt others or be hurt by others' power.

The scene was chaotic, and just as it was about to become even more chaotic, a powerful force was unleashed, and the cold voice of the Tian family head rang out: "Get out of the way."

Upon hearing this, everyone moved to the side.

As everyone retreated, streaks of red and gold flames flew out, landing precisely on the shadow and instantly burning it to ashes!

Upon seeing this, someone exclaimed, "It's the Scorching Sun Flame!"

"Is this the Scorching Sun Heavenly Flame?"

"I just slashed at that shadow, and it was completely unaffected. Its speed and power remained unchanged. I didn't expect that the Heavenly Clan Head could burn it away with a single flame."

"Of course, the Scorching Sun Flame is a divine fire!"

"Divine fire?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "Shouldn't that be something only 'gods' could possess?"

"Is the head of the Heavenly Clan a god?"

“Hmm.” While everyone was discussing, Bai Qingjue looked at the Tian family head and said calmly, “He is the son of an ancient god and has half the blood of a god.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi and Lin Chengtian looked over.
