Chapter 103 Stripping Away the Void, Devouring the Divine
The ice bridge is wailing.
The corrosive power of the Abyss Ink far exceeded expectations. Wen Yue's high-explosive grenades could only temporarily open a passage, but could not stop the liquid darkness from encircling again from all directions.
Countless tiny bubbles floated on the surface of the ice, making a hissing sound, and the ice visibly thinned and became brittle.
"We can only hold out for thirty seconds! Any longer and the ice will melt and disintegrate!"
Lin Chuxue's shouts were tinged with a hint of panting in the communication channel. Maintaining such a large area of frozen path was also a huge drain on her energy.
"That's enough!"
Zhao Leiguang's response was like muffled thunder.
Without slowing down at all, just a second before the ice bridge collapsed, he suddenly brought his two shields together in front of him, curled up into a ball, and the earthy yellow light of the Earth Pulse Set instantly surged to its maximum.
boom!
He crashed like a meteorite onto the last remaining piece of ice in front of Kraken's main body, then rolled forward with the momentum, using his S-class heavy armor to forcefully create a path between the ice bridge that was about to break and Kraken's massive mountain of flesh.
"Walk!"
He roared, his feet driven deep into the corroded, pitted ice, his arms outstretched, fully unfurling his two massive shields.
The Wall of Earth!
A thick wall of light, composed of pure energy and earth elements, rose from the ground, forcefully blocking the abyssal ink and raging tentacles surging from the front.
The light wall trembled violently, its surface instantly corroded into countless holes, but Zhao Leiguang's figure remained motionless, like a reef welded to the sea.
"Lu Yan!"
Xiao Qianyu's figure flashed past Zhao Leiguang, and the tip of the Red Lotus Luoshen Spear drew several afterimages in the air, pinning the three tentacles that attacked from the side to the ice.
Shen Xinglin's lance transformed into a streak of light, precisely piercing through a shadow that was trying to wrap around Lu Yan's ankle.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, abandoned all movement and maneuvering, and returned to Lu Yan's side to form the simplest and most stable triangular defensive formation.
It's now!
Lu Yan reached the limit of distance. He could even smell the nauseating stench of Kraken, a mixture of deep-sea stench and sulfur.
He raised his right hand, and the disk of nothingness hovered in his palm.
"Jade Void decree: Separate!"
With a thought, the stone disc in his palm trembled violently. The world-destroying black lotus, composed of billions of chains of divine laws, spun wildly in Lu Yan's vision.
Target locked—the blue divine core within Kraken!
An invisible force reached out, attempting to grasp the energy thread connecting it to the deep sea.
However, at the very moment of contact, a divine torrent far more terrifying than imagined surged back through the connection!
That is the will of Poseidon!
"puff--"
Lu Yan was struck dumb, his body jolted violently, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His vision went black instantly. Fine blood vessels slowly seeped from his seven orifices.
The azure light of the dragon vein surrounding him melted and dimmed at an alarming rate, like snow that had been doused with hot water.
"Damn it!" Zhao Leiguang noticed Lu Yan's condition, his eyes wide with rage. "Su Yunqing! Keep an eye on Lu Yan!"
"No! Divine impact, my healing is blocked!" Su Yunqing's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. The Yao Guang Gift in her palm shone brightly, but it could not penetrate that invisible barrier of will.
"Heal me! No! Shield Lu Yan!"
Lin Chuxue's scream tore through the battlefield's noise on the communication channel.
High in the sky, the crimson figure enveloped by the phantom of a fiery phoenix resolutely ceased its fire suppression on the sea surface.
She clasped her hands together and forcibly reversed the enormous fire elemental energy accumulated by [Starfire Phoenix Cry], an energy powerful enough to incinerate mountains and boil seas!
The crimson robes lost their radiance, replaced by a pure, golden protective power.
[Shield of Rebirth - Reversal]!
Without hesitation, she transformed her "Ten Thousand Shields," the very thing she relied on for survival, into the purest energy shield and poured it into Lu Yan from afar, sparing no expense.
A golden streak of light descended from the sky, forcefully creating a breach in the barrier erected by Poseidon's will. Immediately following was the [Eden's Healing] shield that Su Yunqing had painstakingly stacked.
The double shields firmly protected Lu Yan's heart, which was on the verge of collapse.
As the excruciating pain subsided slightly, Lu Yan bit his tongue hard, the taste of blood in his mouth forcing him to stay conscious.
He saw it.
In the vision that his teammates risked their lives to give him, he saw the blue thread connecting the Kraken to the entire ocean.
Conventional attacks simply cannot reach it!
"Break it...!"
Lu Yan let out a hoarse roar, pouring all the insights passed down by the old Taoist priest of Yuxu Palace, his entire understanding of "nothingness," and the hopes of everyone in the first team into the stone plate in his palm!
hum-
The black lotus pattern on the Void Disc completely transformed into a black hole that devoured light and sound.
An invisible black blade, composed of the pure concept of "end," slashed out from the black hole.
It ignored the impact of divinity, ignored the barrier of flesh and blood, and ignored the distance of space.
It struck precisely the blue thread connecting the divine core to the deep sea.
No sound.
There was no explosion.
That seemingly unbreakable line of rules snapped silently.
In the instant of the break, Lu Yan's consciousness was pulled into it by a tremendous suction force. He seemed to see a burning starry sky, and a magnificent divine throne slowly crumbling amidst endless war...
The image flashed by in an instant.
In reality, Kraken's massive body suddenly froze.
It could not utter a sound, but a mournful wail originating from the depths of its soul caused all living beings within a hundred miles to tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
The "Ink of the Abyss" that covered the battlefield dissipated and faded away rapidly, like a thick fog illuminated by sunlight. The terrifying pressure of the S-rank was like a punctured balloon, instantly plummeting to the bottom.
……
On the throne of distant Atlantis.
Poseidon, who was enjoying the prayers of his followers with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
His handsome face contorted instantly, and his mouth opened without warning.
"puff!"
A mouthful of golden divine blood sprayed onto the golden floor in front of him.
"impossible!"
He stared intently at his empty palm, his face, which belonged to Arthur, filled with a horror and disbelief that could tear one's soul apart.
His divine connection with the Kraken was forcibly and brutally erased by some higher rule!
……
The Zhoushan battlefield.
Stripped of its divinity, the Kraken degenerated from Poseidon's "energy transfer station" into a pure beast with only a massive physical body.
But the crisis is not over.
Losing the constraints of divine rules also means that it has completely spiraled out of control.
In its final frenzy before death, this behemoth, larger than an aircraft carrier, began to wildly swing and smash down dozens of tentacles, each over two hundred meters in diameter, indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.
One of the enormous tentacles, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slammed down on the first squad, who had just exhausted all their strength!
