Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1337 - 648: Giant Serpent
Chapter 1337: Chapter 648: Giant Serpent
From a distance, Molten Fire City appears quite small; in reality, an outer layer of a Void Barrier surrounds it. Only by crossing this Void Barrier can the true form of Molten Fire City be seen. This Void Barrier serves as both a concealment tactic and a line of defense.
At that moment, the Abyss Beast violently collided with the Void Barrier and began its rampage, extending eerie, jet-black tentacles, which slashed around wildly. Wherever the tentacle struck, the Void shattered layer by layer, fracturing into seven layers.
Those responsible for defending the city were all Divine Monarchs, quickly discerning the strength level of this Abyss Beast. Despite its bizarre appearance and methods, it only reached the Seventh Layer Heaven and didn’t pose a real threat.
“I’ll go.”
Lv He, the Divine Monarch, spoke.
As his words fell, he had already left the high tower.
“This Abyss Beast possesses some strength; brother Lv He might not be able to resolve it swiftly, I’ll go assist him.”
Another voice rang out.
In the blink of an eye, a shadow streaked by, also flying out from the high tower, heading towards the Abyss Beast.
Swish!
In the next moment, a green light pierced through the Void, swiftly and unbelievably fast, traversing across the Void Barrier of Molten Fire City in a flash, arriving behind the Abyss Beast!
The sudden appearance of the green light directly penetrated the beast’s body!
The green light halted behind the Abyss Beast, revealing the silhouette of Lv He, the Divine Monarch. His gaze was calm, holding a sharp, dark green Divine Weapon; the green light just now was his One Strike.
Though this Abyss Beast had reached the Seventh Layer Heaven, it hadn’t attained the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak and couldn’t avoid Lv He’s assault, its body completely pierced by his attack.
Crumble.
The tentacled creature that had been wildly thrashing about suddenly froze in mid-air after the green light passed, then its body erupted with bursts of green brilliance, resembling shattering lines extending to the ends of each tentacle. Ultimately, the entire body of this Abyss Beast shattered from its center!
Yet, this Abyss Beast had still reached the Seventh Layer Heaven, and although it suffered a strike from Lv He, it wasn’t exterminated directly. Its fragmented body only paused momentarily, then quickly reassembled, convulsing into a black sphere, simultaneously erupting a strange black line towards Lv He!
Lv He’s expression didn’t change; he gently waved the dark green Divine Weapon in his hand, and a sliver of green light tore through the Nihility, directly severing the incoming black line in mid-air.
Meanwhile,
another surge of formidable power suddenly descended, landing directly on the Abyss Beast’s body.
“Faceless Divine Thunder!”
A detached voice spread through the Void, as heavenly lightning appeared all around, spanning countless rays of light—some crimson, some bright purple, others silver… All kinds of colored Thunder Arcs flashed and, in an instant, focused on one point, forming a terrifyingly powerful Divine Thunder that struck the Abyss Beast’s core, erupting on the convulsing black sphere!
Crackle and pop.
The Void exploded instantly, shattering the seven layers of the Void.
The Abyss Beast bore the brunt of this attack, the black lines extending from the black sphere fracturing inch by inch, its entire body breaking apart with a sudden rift, in which streaks of lightning extended, constantly eradicating its life essence.
“Thunder Arc.”
Lv He, the Divine Monarch, looked on calmly and immediately struck again, the dark green Divine Weapon in his hand bursting into a beam of Thunder Arc, which released and flew out, flashing a point of green light in the Nihility, directly penetrating the Abyss Beast’s body once more.
The green light flared, flickering ceaselessly within its ruptured body, as if weaving countless strands of green thread, resonating with those annihilating beams of lightning, completely suppressing the Abyss Beast, even restraining its aura without any waves radiating out.
Moments later.
Boom!
The lightning and green glow both vanished, leaving only the ashes of the Abyss Beast that had been thoroughly exterminated.
In the high tower,
seeing Lv He and the others effortlessly deal with that Abyss Beast, no one was surprised. Someone stroked a long beard with a smile, saying, “Lv He’s methods are indeed extraordinary, concentrating power on a point and suppressing the aura.”
Against an Abyss Beast that hasn’t reached the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, anyone present could handle it. However, since they were tasked with guarding Molten Fire City, dealing with Abyss Beasts usually took two approaches: either suppress the aura as quickly as possible to annihilate it, or trap it, contain it at its original location temporarily, and then let Molten Fire City swiftly escape, evading it.
Generally speaking, when facing Abyss Beasts at the Seventh Layer Heaven, eradication is paramount, but at the Eighth Layer Heaven, expulsion and containment are the priority.
This is because Molten Fire City itself is a highly potent Divine Weapon with a suppressive effect of the Void Lineage. Once an Abyss Beast breaches into the interior of the Void Barrier, it becomes isolated temporarily by the power of Molten Fire City, preventing the Seventh Layer Heaven’s power from spreading.
When Lv He and his companions acted previously, they deliberately restrained the power of their techniques, focusing it on one point, which in turn made the commotion of the battle less likely to spread. To the outside world, the Abyss Beast merely vanished without a ripple within Molten Fire City.
But if it were an Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beast, Molten Fire City would find it relatively harder to suppress the commotion fully.
If it can’t be slain swiftly within a short time, any increased disturbance and prolonged duration might attract the attention of more Abyss Beasts, bringing unnecessary trouble.
