Now, after surveying the surrounding terrain, he noticed that this was a massive low-lying area.

The rainwater quickly pooled on the ground, and the water was getting deeper, reaching Herag's waist in just a few minutes.

Bear in mind, Herag was now in the form of Titan Power, standing four meters tall.

The plant had already disappeared, submerged at the bottom of the water.

Herag glanced around; this place had already turned into a black lake.

Torrents of rain were falling, with the raindrops getting bigger and showing signs of further enlarging.

This rain was truly unusual. Herag swam towards the shore, planning to leave this place as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, a suction force came from underwater.

Herag, unable to find a foothold in the water, was pulled under on the spot.

The suction was strong, and Herag had virtually no way to resist, being directly dragged to the bottom.

Once pulled underwater, Herag saw the plant at the bottom emitting a green glow, with a strong magic power fluctuation around it.

He was unclear about what this plant exactly was, but he knew he absolutely couldn't let himself be dragged toward it.

With nowhere to find leverage in the water, Herag's strength was of no use, leaving him to helplessly watch as he got closer to the green plant at the bottom step by step.

He remained calm and thought seriously about finding a solution, avoiding futile struggle.

After a moment, Herag extended his left hand, retrieved two Fire Salamander Bombs from his Space Ring, and then hurled them downward with effort before detonating them.

The Fire Salamander Bombs exploded instantly, forming a small mushroom cloud underwater.

The underwater began to churn, and Herag felt the water below pushing him up violently.

With this thrust force, the suction coming from below weakened significantly.

Seeing its effect, Herag immediately threw out two more Fire Salamander Bombs, repeating the tactic.

After several attempts, the explosive force finally propelled Herag to the water surface.

But just as he reached the surface, as he popped his head out of the water, glancing at the torrentially raining sky,

the suction from the bottom pulled him back down again.

Herag, having no other option, could only throw two more Fire Salamander Bombs.

He adjusted his angle, propelling himself diagonally upward to get closer to the shore.

The suction force at the bottom didn't disappear, and every time the thrust from the Fire Salamander Bombs ended, Herag would be pulled down a bit.

Each time, Herag used the Fire Salamander Bombs to get himself closer again to the water surface and shore.

Fortunately, he had prepared adequately; there were still eighty-seven Fire Salamander Bombs in his Space Ring, more than enough for his use.

After using another nineteen Fire Salamander Bombs, Herag finally reached the shore.

He found that the farther away he got from the plant at the bottom, the weaker the suction force became.

Herag crawled onto the shore, feeling grounded, which provided some sense of safety when his feet landed on solid ground.

He looked back, seeing a vast black lake had formed behind him.

The rain was still pouring from the sky, and Herag stepped onto muddy ground, speeding away from the lake.

After walking about a kilometer, Herag finally left the range of the heavy rain.

He glanced back; the sky behind him was still dark with dense clouds, and the rain continued unabated.

Over here, though not brightly sunny, at least it wasn't raining, and the ground was very dry.

Here and the area behind him were completely two different worlds.

Reflecting on the recent experience, Herag finally understood why not a single living creature could be seen in that area.

The inconspicuous low-lying area most likely served as the hunting ground of the plant.

Once a living being entered there, a scenario like the one just experienced would occur.

Even Herag almost fell into the trap. If those less intelligent demons ventured foolishly into it, they would probably end up being dragged to the water bottom.

As for what would happen after being dragged underwater, Herag wasn't sure, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

While underwater just now, Herag felt a strong sense of danger.

He could sense that if he were dragged to the water bottom, getting close to that plant, he would most likely never come back.

The plant's power was extremely bizarre, able to affect the weather over such a large area, a power that the current Herag couldn't oppose.

The only consolation was that the plant couldn't move to chase him.

Herag oriented himself again and continued heading eastward.

"The sky is getting dark…,"

Herag noted the increasingly dim sky with a heavy heart.

Nightfall, no matter where, is always more dangerous, let alone in this polluted zone.

If in the forest, Herag could find a safe shelter for the night.

But in this polluted area, Herag couldn't determine where was safe.

After experiencing the giant insect's attack, Herag felt no place was safe.

Anywhere, he could possibly be devoured by a giant insect abruptly emerging from the ground in his sleep.

Herag kept observing while walking but did not find any place that seemed relatively safe.

The sky gradually darkened, and night slowly descended.

He looked up, seeing no stars.

At night, the dominant shade here was darkness, not a bit of light in sight.

In other places, the moonlight could at least help see the road at night.

But here, it was sheer darkness, devoid of any light source.

Herag's vision wasn't hindered as he could still see the surroundings clearly in the dark.

He initially planned to find a safe spot to spend the night.

But then reconsidered, as he didn't know which place was relatively safe.

Staying static in one place might actually increase the chance of encountering danger, so he decided to trek through the night, aiming to reach the Land of Dawn as soon as possible.

The subsequent journey was more monotonous, only characterized by eternal blackness and silence.

While traveling, Herag checked on his own status.

Since absorbing the Divine Core, there had not been a moment to examine his condition.

Herag was eager to understand the use of having absorbed this entity.

The Divine Core was absorbed by the Bloodline Mark but couldn't be fully activated within the Wizard Plane.

Herag sensed that if he returned to the Abyss Plane and activated the Bloodline Mark, revealing its true form, it should be more powerful.

"So, this is how power can be enhanced…" Herag made a mental note of this method.

Never having encountered something like the Divine Core before, he naturally didn't know about this way of becoming stronger.

Now it seemed clear that the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power could still continue to grow.

"Hmm? My spiritual power…"

At this moment, Herag realized that in his mind, his Liquid Spiritual Power had filled his mind completely.

Next, he just needed to proceed with compression to gradually approach the Crystalization Wizard stage.
