Emblazoned across the red shield, Han Sen noticed the faint outline of a fish . It was like a shark, but it was even more fearsome looking than that . Behind the head of this image, there was a tentacle-like limb that reached over . From this tentacle, something hung .
Han Sen thought it was a human hanging from the tentacle . It was quite the unnerving picture .
The aquatic monster's outline was large, and it encompassed the entire altar that was behind it, like some wretched sentinel .
"Is this an image of the King of the Blood River?" Han Sen wondered, as the trio were slashing against the barrier that repelled their attempts to attack the third statue . Now, they acknowledged their power was not enough .
The shield had ten gene locks powering it, that much was for sure . Ordinary powers weren't going to scratch it, let alone cut through it .
"Let's see who can hit harder, then . " Han Sen commanded his followers to stop attacking, then he activated his super king spirit mode .
The holy, white light began to gleam . Han Sen's body shone like a deity of light; one with a coin between his fingers . The number on the coin began to ascend, one by one; a signal of its increasing power .

The fishman continued gathering its power, too, as Han Sen did the same on the opposite side of the barrier .
Both of their powers were like the rumbling and thunder from a couple of volcanos preparing to erupt . The sheer volume of energy that whirled throughout that chamber was frightening .
The fishman started to tremble . The power cradled in the basketball-sized sphere of water was equivalent to the amount needed to sunder entire mountains .
Boom!
The fishman lobbed the orb of water like a hydrogen bomb, leaving its legs trembling with exertion .
Han Sen's body was also trembling with the power he had been summoning into the coin . Its number had now reached an all-time high, hitting twenty-one . The moment the sphere left its bearer's hands, Han Sen let the coin fly .
Within the tiniest fraction of a second, the orb and coin collided in mid-air .
The power unleashed was crazy, and the shockwave caused by the impact was enough to send Little Angel and Disloyal Knight flying away .

Amidst this carnage, Han Sen saw the coin pierce through the orb of water and cause a massive shockwave .
The coin did not stop there, however . It carried on through towards the fishman's head, obliterating it . And in the immediate aftermath of that, the suction of the coin began to pull everything towards it like a magnet .
The altar was broken, and its remains all flew towards the coin as if it were a black hole .
The red shield had been shattered, and the fishman was no longer visible .
Boom!
Just as it looked like everything was over, everything was cast away in one last bout of chaos . Then, to accompany the ruin, the water that had previously been held back, began to pour inside .
Han Sen quickly grabbed the final red gem before the entire place flooded .

"Obtained Blood River King's Battle Geno Essence . "
Han Sen heard the same announcement play .
Then, he grabbed Bao'er and started to make his daring escape . The first thing to grace his eyes, following the dash from that bloody arena, was the glory of moonlight . It made for a delightful return to the surface .
Han Sen saw a very clear lake before where he stood now, and it did not at all seem associated with the Blood River .
Han Sen flew around with Bao'er, but there were just mountains skirting the lake . There were no signs of that grand river .
Little Angel and Disloyal Knight emerged from the lake, and when he confirmed there to be no immediate danger, he returned them for the time being .
Han Sen landed on the plush ground near the lake and noticed the jue had been following him . It was now near his feet . The fire inside it had depleted, and it went back to looking fairly ordinary again . Now, it looked like little more than an antique .
When Han Sen picked it up, there was nothing more curious about it . It seemed to be what it looked like .
Han Sen decided to pour another drink into the jue .
Then he took a sip . It tasted just as good, but nothing wild or crazy occurred like it had last time . No more spooky symbols flared across his body, either .
Han Sen wouldn't mind killing a few more statues to obtain Battle Geno Essences, though .
While the jue was still able to formulate the delightful sacrificial wine, it was no longer able to begin the sacrificial ritual .
Han Sen summoned Dragon King . He was very knowledgeable when it came to peculiarities of the Third God's Sanctuary, and Han Sen had frequently used him as an encyclopedia . Perhaps there was a chance he'd know what the jue was .
"What do you want from me?" Dragon King still had no body, and every time he was summoned, it cost him a little bit more of his true self . Needless to say, this upset him .
"Do you know what this is?" Han Sen knew he was upset, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked him directly .
Dragon King looked at it, and his mood perked right up . He shouted, "Holy crap! Where did you get this from?!"
"Is that a good surprise or a bad surprise?" Han Sen wasn't sure whether the item was good or not .
