Chapter 393 - 394: Slay!
On the other side, after Elder Tortoise dived into the dark depths of the sea, a never-before-experienced bone-chilling coldness enveloped him instantly.
This wasn’t the normal temperature of seawater; it carried an ominous and evil aura, making even him, a member of the Oceanic Clan, feel uneasy.
"This feeling... isn’t right!"
Elder Tortoise’s inner alarms went off.
Although he hadn’t broken through to Totem Level, he had practiced in Aster Grant’s Law Domain for many days. His understanding of Water Law had improved further, his strength approaching Totem Level infinitely.
And even so, in this sea area where he had lived for hundreds of years...
He felt a mortal threat.
"Could... could Lord Aster’s suspicions be true?"
"Is there really an unknown terrifying existence lurking in the depths of Soltara?"
He was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
The Oceanic Clan evacuated just months ago, and this area had previously been occupied by the Demon Clan. How could such a powerful creature suddenly emerge?
Just as he focused his exploration, a strong fluctuation of energy emerged from the murky seawater ahead!
Elder Tortoise’s heart trembled as he concealed his aura, cautiously approaching the source of the fluctuation.
However, as he traversed through a dense forest of giant seaweed and saw the scene ahead, a wave of coldness shot from the base of his spine to the crown of his skull!
In the front, within a deep-sea trench, an unimaginably large Dread Octopus was quietly hovering there!
Its body was like an underwater mountain ridge, its skin covered with twisted, glowing patterns.
Several tentacles as thick as giant pythons swayed slowly, stirring the surrounding seawater.
The most terrifying thing was its pair of wagon-wheel-sized, emerald green compound eyes, locking onto him with an icy, emotionless gaze!
"Escape!"
This thought exploded instinctively in Elder Tortoise’s mind!
Facing such an enormous and oppressive vicious beast, he hadn’t a shred of courage to resist!
This was definitely a Totem Level existence!
Without hesitation, he instantly pushed Water Law to the extreme, his body darting like an arrow leaving the string, frantically fleeing towards the surface!
His decision proved lifesaving!
At the moment he turned around, a giant water arrow formed from highly compressed seawater, radiating a chilling aura, silently pierced through where he had just been!
The speed was astonishing!
If his reaction had been a moment slower, he would have been impaled!
"Totem Tier Three!"
Elder Tortoise felt horrified, desperately swimming upwards, "When did such a monster come to the Oceanic Clan’s old territory?!"
Fortunately, the giant octopus seemed not to regard this "little tortoise" as significant, emitting a deep, contemptuous spiritual wave without pursuing.
Its main focus remained on the sea’s surface.
"Just an old tortoise; it won’t affect Lord Demon Whale’s plan."
The consciousness of the Dread Octopus reverberated in the deep sea.
It was more concerned about the ship on the surface—
Why could it resist its toxic mist?
This was its foundation of existence, but now...
It couldn’t fulfill its function!
Soon.
Elder Tortoise fled back to the ship, quite shaken, his voice trembling:
"Lord... Lord Aster! Under the sea... there’s an extremely terrifying vicious beast!"
"Its size as large as a mountain, at least Totem Tier Three! The toxic mist was released by it!"
Vicious beast?
Hearing this, Aster also understood the source of the dense mist.
But since it’s a vicious beast, there’s no need to hold back at all.
However, the tricky part is that the vicious beast is hidden thousands of meters deep, where it’s in its element.
Lazuli and Vera are strong, but their capabilities would be greatly limited underwater, and their speed might not be able to catch up with such a naturally adapted sea beast; recklessly chasing it into the sea poses a tremendous risk.
As Aster pondered, contemplating strategies, Alia, who was in his arms, seemed to perceive his difficulty.
She gently tugged at Aster’s sleeve, looked up with a little face:
"Aster brother, don’t worry! Alia can help!"
Aster looked down at the earnest little girl in his arms, somewhat surprised, somewhat skeptical.
He had used the system to investigate Alia several times; apart from that mysterious talent of bringing good luck, he hadn’t found her to have any strong combat or support abilities.
"Alia, how do you plan to help brother?"
Aster asked gently, his tone encouraging, but he didn’t hold out much hope.
Alia keenly caught that subtle doubt from Aster, immediately pouting, her cheeks puffing like little dumplings, feeling slightly aggrieved:
"Aster brother! You don’t believe Alia! Hmph!"
With that, she wriggled free from Aster’s embrace, stood at the bow of the ship, facing the vast Soltara.
She took a deep breath, her small frame beginning to exude an indescribable, ancient, and majestic aura.
She slowly raised her arms, palms facing the sea, and started singing a mystical and distant chant.
The song seemed to resonate with the entire ocean!
In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone!
The vast Soltara, centered around the small ship, appeared to be split by an invisible giant hand of a Heavenly God!
The seawater roared with deafening sound, rolling away to both sides, forming two towering walls of water hundreds of meters high!
A wide, unobstructed avenue leading directly to the sea floor suddenly unfolded before everyone!
Sunlight for the first time unobstructedly shone into this forgotten underwater realm, illuminating the sleeping sights below...
Ruined palace remnants, collapsed columns, shattered coral gardens...
The magnificent ruins of the merfolk’s former capital were completely exposed to broad daylight!
"This... this is..."
Aster stared at the parting sea’s power, eyes full of shock.
Beside him, Elder Tortoise hurriedly explained:
"I almost forgot! Princess can temporarily command the seawater of the Soltara through the strength of the merfolk."
"This is also the talent of the Merfolk Clan!"
Hearing the explanation, Aster’s eyes brightened and he quickly praised Alia.
And with the seawater retreating, the giant Dread Octopus hid deep in the sea, assuming safety, was fully exposed!
Its massive mountain-like body now lay lone on the dry seabed, looking rather absurd.
Clearly, it hadn’t anticipated such a scenario, its emerald compound eyes filled with confusion and fear.
"That’s it!" Elder Tortoise pointed at the Dread Octopus and shouted.
Aster’s eyes turned cold, killing intent surged:
"Lazuli, Vera! Attack, swiftly!"
"Yes, Master!"
Vera was the first to strike, emerald green vines instantly binding the struggling Dread Octopus tightly!
At the same time, Lazuli leaped into the air, Destruction Law coalescing in her hands into a sky-spanning crimson giant sword!
The sword radiated flames capable of incinerating everything, exuding a terror-inducing pressure that warped space!
The Dread Octopus sensed mortal danger, trying to plead for mercy.
But Lazuli’s sword showed no hesitation!
"Cut!"
The Sword of Destruction fell like divine punishment from the heavens, carrying the will to judge all, crashing down mightily!
"Boom—!!!!!!!!!"
Thunderous sound shook the sea and sky!
Destructive energy erupted, and the Totem Tier Three Dread Octopus, its enormous body as fragile as a sandcastle before the extreme Destruction Law, was effortlessly split in half!
The battle from start to finish lasted only a few short moments.
Aster calmly observed the entire process.
This Dread Octopus’s strength was indeed Tier Three, but its strengths lay in stealth, toxic mist, and deep-sea combat.
Once deprived of the sea’s protection, exposed to sunlight, preemptively bound by Vera, being obliterated by Lazuli was within expectations.
At this moment, Aster assessed the strength of Lazuli and Vera.
Both Beastbonds’ strengths far exceeded Totem Tier Three!
It’s just uncertain whether they could reach Totem Tier Five!
