American Exorcism Male God

West's lower half turned into a slick serpentine body, while Annabelle was suspended in the air; they moved forward in the narrow passage without making a single sound.

After leaving the eighteenth-floor platform where the clown resided, they found a hidden maintenance hatch.

They crawled into the maintenance hatch, heading downward, preparing to reach the Burial Ground of Divine Bodies first.

They did not know how long they had walked in the dim maintenance tunnel when a sudden bright light came through.

A "glass window" was embedded in the side of the maintenance tunnel, made of the same material as the Magic-Prohibiting Box, which was the only way to withstand the deep-sea pressure.

The deep sea should have been pitch-black, as sunlight could not penetrate here, but several huge lamps floated in the sea, illuminating the ocean floor.

Gigantic skeletons lay across the seabed; judging from their shapes, they must have been giants tens of meters tall in life, with orderly sternums like the arches of monasteries.

It wasn't just one skeleton; they were haphazardly overlapping each other, forming a vast Bone Mountain.

Xu Yi gazed at those skeletons, frowning slightly.

Even after such a long time of death, these skeletons still maintained a remarkable majesty.

Without a doubt, what lay before him was the remains of divine beings; they were about to reach the Burial Ground.

So many divine beings gathered together, only to fall in the end; who exactly were their enemies, and how powerful were they?

Xu Yi suddenly thought of a problem, his mood turning heavy.

But soon, he began to feel a faint excitement.

Because as long as he could secretly bury the Golden Coffin beneath Bone Mountain, the plan would be considered complete.

The Golden Coffin came with a stealth effect, making it very difficult to be discovered.

Following the normal pace of excavation, by the time the Golden Coffin was found, his body should have already ascended to a Divine Body.

Finding the Burial Ground of Divine Bodies and burying a corpse within it to transform into a Divine Body sounded somewhat unbelievable,

But if others tried to mimic his method, it would be an utterly futile effort.

It was understandable; if it were that simple, Divine Bodies would already be commonplace.

Performers on stage make their crafts look effortless, but who knows how much effort they have put in behind the scenes.

Xu Yi was no different; the reason everything seemed so simple was that he had already completed the prerequisite by chance, which was the Ghost Samurai.

Inside the Golden Coffin, along with Xu Yi's body, was the Ghost Samurai.

The Burial Ground of Divine Bodies was just a medium, a Furnace.

He was merely using the magnetic field of the Burial Ground of Divine Bodies to merge his own body with the Ghost Samurai, to undergo the Metamorphosis into a Divine Body.

Without the Ghost Samurai, being buried here would be completely useless.

The circular metal tunnel led directly to the seafloor, appearing like the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, with the tunnel's lower section connected to a massive deep-sea base.

Constructing such a base in the deep sea, with the required technology and resources, was unimaginable.

Only a power at the level of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization could build it.

West and the Annabelle doll continued forward, and after a short while, they reached the end, which had been welded shut.

West opened his mouth, spitting out a fluorescent green liquid. The sturdy metal plate corroded away, creating a hole through which West and Annabelle emerged one after another.

After they left the maintenance tunnel, the fluorescent green liquid evaporated, and the corroded metal unbelievably began to regenerate, soon returning to its original form without a trace of damage.

They entered the deep-sea base, where they encountered highly integrated mechanical creations; the technological level of this base was decades ahead of the modern world.

The base was extremely quiet, eerily akin to walking into a tomb, without a ghost in sight.

Xu Yi was secretly pleased because the fewer people there were, the more advantageous it was for his actions.

But soon, he learned the hard way what it meant to go from elation to despair.

A black shadow appeared behind them without a sound, resembling some canine creature, its body enveloped in pure black Armor.

The material of the armor was similar to that of the Black Abyss robes, with the only difference being the fiery-red patterns that ran from the top of the head to the back.

Xu Yi's heart sank in secret; the fact that he hadn't noticed these hounds was one thing, after all, the "Symbiotic Eye's" ability was limited, but surprisingly, even West had failed to detect them.

The "Black Hound" before him possessed an extremely powerful stealth ability.

The pupils of the Black Hound emitted a sanguine light, continuously scanning West and Annabelle.

"Whitelist search failed! Intruders identified, proceed with annihilation!" the Black Hound uttered in a cold mechanical voice.

By the time the Black Hound had conducted its search, West had already made his move; he still had the form of a human head on a snake's body, his slender serpentine torso suddenly coiling around the Black Hound.

The serpent's body tightened unceasingly, its immense strength capable of easily crushing Auric Copper, yet the body of the Black Hound remained unmoved, terribly resilient.

Suddenly, the Black Hound opened its mouth and exhaled a ghostly blue breath. That breath contained a terrifying chill as white frost rapidly spread over West's serpentine body.

West's expression shifted subtlely, realizing that in just a few minutes at this rate, his entire body would freeze into an ice sculpture.

He chose to "cut off his tail to survive," the frozen part of his serpentine body falling down to shatter upon impact with the ground.

More and more dark figures were rushing towards this place, making Xu Yi's heart plummet.

At a cursory glance, there were no fewer than seven Black Hounds approaching.

If one Black Hound was so difficult to deal with, what about seven!

No wonder there were no troops from the Black Abyss at this underwater base; these Black Hounds were the best guards.

The troops from the Black Abyss, being human, were prone to inertia, whereas these Black Hounds were akin to creations of Alchemical Machinery, tirelessly working twenty-two hours a day.

West knew all too well that he couldn't linger in this place, having been discovered, the Black Abyss army could arrive at any moment.

Once surrounded, escape would be as difficult as if their wings were clipped.

The remaining half of his serpentine torso slammed fiercely into the ground, propelling his head forward, shooting out more than ten meters in an instant.

"As they say, in great peril, everyone looks out for themselves!" Xu Yi sighed inwardly.

West's escape was astonishingly fast, leaving Annabelle with no chance to keep up.

But the good news was, most of the Black Hounds were chasing after West, with only one remaining still in place.

Judging by their strength, West posed a far greater threat than Annabelle, showing the high level of intelligence in these Black Hounds.

The Black Hound left behind lunged at Annabelle with the speed of lightning.

Annabelle's white dress billowed as she exuded an imposing aura. Mysterious runes appeared in her azure eyes as she gazed at the Black Hound.

Suddenly, the Black Hound plummeted to the ground, crashing heavily and creating a thunderous roar.

A dense network of runes spread over its body, interlinking with each other like thickly blossoming vines.

This was the power of the "Cursed Eye"; Annabelle was not simply standing still. After years of study, her Curse Technique had reached a truly astonishing level.

Instead of pressing her advantage, she fled at full speed.

The bloody glow in the Black Hound's eyes burst forth, and the runes on its body were violently torn apart.

After all, Annabelle was facing a secret weapon of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, and even the most powerful Curse Technique could only serve to delay time.

Annabelle zigzagged through the underwater base, trying to shake off the Black Hound behind her, but to no avail.

Xu Yi grew increasingly anxious because the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous for them.

Once the Black Abyss troops arrived, the difficulty of their escape would increase exponentially.

Bursting out of a corridor, Xu Yi looked back; the Black Hound had not caught up for the moment, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.

Using her ability to shrink her body, Annabelle lured the Black Hound into a narrow passage, temporarily trapping it.

But this was only temporary; Xu Yi had already heard the sounds of metal being torn apart, and knew the passage wouldn't hold the Black Hound for long.

"Where are we?" Xu Yi looked around.

Lacking a map and pursued by the Black Hound, they could only focus on fleeing desperately, without any direction.

But by chance, it seemed they had arrived at the core area of the underwater base.
