Chapter 454 Pollution
The Candle Dragon sailed through the gray fog, its bow's Candle Dragon Eye emitting a crimson light, tearing a path through the mist ahead.
The chaotic runes on the ship's surface flickered, shattering the mysterious black tendrils that tried to cling to it.
Baili Pangpang lay on the ship's side, watching the huge black shadows that occasionally surfaced in the sea, and swallowed hard: "Just how many monsters are there in this sea?"
Anqingyu's detector beeped: "According to sonar feedback, there are at least seventeen 'Boundless' level mystical creatures and three 'Klein' level mystical creatures within a ten-mile radius."
Cao Yuan's black blade trembled slightly: "Shall we go down and chop?"
Lin Qiye shook his head: "Don't cause any trouble. Our goal is to find the Sword Saint."
at this time--
“Buzz——!!!”
The ship suddenly shook violently!
"What's going on?!" Zhang Yun suddenly turned his head to look at the control panel.
The miniature Candle Dragon spirit looked up from the control panel: "There's a high-energy reaction ahead... it looks like it's been cleaved open by something."
As the mist gradually dissipated, a shattered island appeared before them.
It's less of an island and more of a mountainside that was forcibly cleaved in half by some terrifying force!
In the center of the island, a kilometer-long canyon runs through the north and south, its cut as smooth as a mirror, with sharp sword energy still remaining on its edges, repelling the surrounding seawater and forming a waterless "Abyss of Sword Marks".
"This is..." Lin Qiye's pupils shrank sharply, "The sword intent of the Sword Saint!"
Anqingyu's detector flashed wildly: "Energy reading off the charts! This is at least 'Supreme' level power!"
Baili Pangpang's eyes widened: "One sword... cleaved an island in two?!"
Shen Qingzhu pushed up her sunglasses: "This is just the residual sword energy; its true power is probably much stronger."
The group climbed onto the island to observe the terrifying sword mark up close.
Lin Qiye crouched down, his fingers lightly touching the ground, and immediately felt a sharp pain—
An invisible sword aura slashed open a bloody gash on his fingertip!
"The sword energy is condensed and does not dissipate..." he said in a deep voice, "This is indeed the work of Senior Zhou Ping."
An Qingyu took out an instrument to scan the sword mark, and the data stream on the lens scrolled rapidly: "According to the calculation of the sword energy decay rate... this sword should have been left a month ago."
Michael suddenly looked up, his six wings slightly unfurled: "It's not just the power of the Sword Saint... there are also remnants of the divine war here."
He raised his hand and waved it, and holy light poured down, instantly creating several blurry images in the void—
A figure in white robes, wielding a sword, stood in mid-air, the sword light cascading like a silver river!
On the other side, three giant shadows shrouded in divine light joined forces to resist, but were cleaved back a hundred miles by a single sword strike!
Most shockingly, the arm of one of the divine figures was severed cleanly at the root!
"These are... three main gods?!" Zhang Yun exclaimed in shock.
Michael nodded: "Judging from the characteristics of the divine light, they are indeed the three main gods!"
Everyone gasped.
Baili Pangpang stammered, "Sword Saint Senior...fighting three at once?! And even cutting off an arm of a main god?!"
An Qingyu quickly collected on-site data, and the robotic arm deployed a holographic projection to reconstruct the battle scene.
"Based on the analysis of residual energy, this battle can be divided into three phases."
Lin Qiye stared at the projection, then suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute... why did the Sword Saint suddenly attack them?"
Michael's holy sword trembled slightly: "Look here."
He pointed to a spot at the edge of the sword mark—
There was a thin black line there, constantly eroding the sword energy.
“The corruption of Cthulhu…” Michael said coldly, “These three main gods… have already been corrupted.”
Anqingyu discovered half a charred arm at the bottom of the canyon—
The muscles were knotted and bulging, and even though they had been torn for a long time, they still exuded a suffocating pressure.
“This is… the right arm of that supreme god,” Michael confirmed.
Baili Pangpang leaned closer to take a look: "This arm... can we take it back and soak it in alcohol?"
Everyone: "..."
Anqingyu's detector suddenly sounded an alarm: "Warning! High concentration of contaminants inside the arm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the severed arm suddenly convulsed violently, and countless fleshy growths bulged on the skin's surface before bursting open!
"Shua——!!!"
Dozens of scarlet tentacles shot towards the crowd like sharp arrows!
"clang--!!!"
Lin Qiye reacted with lightning speed. The black box straight sword was drawn with a clang, its blade wrapped in the power of eternal night, transforming into a pitch-black curtain that forcefully severed all the attacking tentacles!
"laugh--!!!"
Even after being severed, the tentacle continued to writhe wildly after hitting the ground, spurting out viscous black blood from the cut, which corroded the ground and emitted puffs of white smoke.
Baili Pangpang jumped back in fright: "Holy crap! This blood is laced with sulfuric acid?!"
An Qingyu's robotic arm swiftly deployed a sampler, collecting a drop of black blood into the analysis chamber: "Extremely corrosive, containing Cthulhu-derived contamination... This thing is devouring divine power!"
Zhang Yun's expression was solemn. The True Flame of the Candle Dragon ignited in his palm, burning away the remaining tentacles on the ground: "Even the body of the main god has been corrupted to this extent... other pantheons are probably in even worse shape."
The moment the words were spoken, the entire island suddenly trembled violently!
“Rumble——!!!”
The ground was cracked, and thick black blood seeped from the countless fissures, as if the entire island was being eroded by some kind of force!
Anqingyu's detectors went into overdrive, alarming: "Pollution levels are skyrocketing! Something underground is awakening!"
"Shua——!!!"
The next second, hundreds of thick tentacles burst from the ground, each wrapped with a scarlet eyeball, staring intently at the crowd!
Baili Pangpang's scalp tingled: "Damn it, we've stirred up a den of tentacles?!"
Cao Yuan's black blade surged with murderous intent, and he sneered, "Perfect... for practicing my sword skills."
In the center of the tentacles, a pool of black blood slowly condensed, gradually transforming into a human shape—
That was clearly the outline of a monster!
But at this moment, "it"
Half of his body was rotting, revealing his bare white bones.
Dozens of tentacles grew from the broken part of his right arm, each tip splitting open into a hideous mouth.
In its remaining single eye, the pupil split into countless compound eyes, flashing with a frenzied red light!
"A corrupted form of divine power?!" Michael's holy sword blazed with flames. "Be careful, it retains a portion of divine power!"
"Roar--!!!"
The monster roared to the sky, lightning and black blood intertwined, turning into a storm of thunder that struck down on everyone!
"Eternal Night - Devouring the Heavens!"
Lin Qiye took a step forward, his black box blade sweeping across, and the Eternal Night Domain was fully activated!
The blade flashed like a tide, swallowing up all the falling lightning, and its momentum continued as it slashed towards the monster's head!
"clang--!!!"
The monster actually used its tentacles to block the blade. Amidst the flying sparks, the blade's energy was blocked after only three inches of penetration!
"What?!" Lin Qiye's pupils shrank sharply.
"It has inherited Thor's body as the God of Thunder!" Michael flapped his wings and soared into the sky. "I'll break through its defenses!"
"Holy Flame - Judgment!"
Blazing white flames cascaded down like a waterfall, evaporating the black blood on the monster's body!
"My turn!" Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon Mark shone brightly, and his arms transformed into dragon claws, slamming them down onto the ground—
"Chaos - Burning Realm!"
"boom--!!!"
Crimson-gold dragon flames poured in through the cracks in the ground, instantly turning the entire island into a sea of fire!
The tentacles writhe and scream in the flames, but soon, something even more terrifying happened—
The charred tentacles began to... devour each other!
"It's evolving!" An Qingyu warned sharply, "Don't let it merge!"
"Watch this, Fatty!" Baili Fatty suddenly pulled out a metal ball and hurled it at the monster—
"Heavenly Court Special Supply: Immortal Binding Thunder!"
"boom--!!!"
The sphere exploded, and countless golden chains wrapped around it, temporarily imprisoning the monster!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Yuan leaped up, his black blade as dark as ink, aiming straight for the monster's heart—
"Black King - Godslayer!"
"puff--!!!"
The blade pierced through, unleashing a burst of malevolent energy, and the monster's body trembled violently!
"Step back!" Michael's six wings fully unfurled, and the holy sword was raised high—
"Divine Punishment - Purification!"
"boom--!!!"
A beam of holy light, a hundred meters in diameter, descended from the sky, completely vaporizing the monster and almost half the island!
When the smoke and dust cleared, only a huge, charred crater remained.
Baili Pangpang slumped to the ground: "Is it... over?"
Michael's expression turned grave: "No... this is just the beginning."
He pointed to the distant sea—
Where the sea meets the sky, the gray fog churns and boils as if boiling.
Countless dark figures slowly emerged from the mist; they were not merely mysterious creatures, but rather—
The defiled remains of a god!
The rotting six-winged angel dragged along rusty chains, its eye sockets crawling with maggots;
Half of a Titan's body emerged from the sea, with scarlet tentacles wrapped around its spine;
Most chillingly, a wrecked ghost ship emerged from the fog, its deck filled with Yakshas and Rakshasas from the Hindu pantheon—their skin was already festering, yet they remained in fighting stances!
"This is..." Lin Qiye's Eternal Night Domain instinctively activated, "...the divine alliance corrupted by Cthulhu?!"
Anqingyu's detector flashed wildly: "Energy readings have exceeded the threshold! At least thirty remains of God-level beings, and hundreds of Klein-level mystics!"
Baili Pangpang's legs began to tremble: "Is it too late for us to run now...?"
The rotting angel in the front row suddenly looked up, its neck snapping with a "crack," yet it still opened and closed its lips, now only half intact:
"Holy...war..."
Its sound is like the buzzing of millions of bees inside the skull, making one's temples throb.
Even more terrifying are those Yakshas—
They should have been ferocious demons with blue faces and fangs, but now their bodies were covered in fleshy growths, each with a mouth splitting open, chanting twisted scriptures in unison:
“█▇▆▅克▄▃▂ 苏▇▆▅▄鲁▃▂ █▇▆▅▄▃▂ ”
Shen Qingzhu's sunglasses cracked open with a snap: "Mental pollution! Blocking out hearing!"
“Buzz——!!!”
The chaotic barrier of the Candle Dragon instantly opened to full, and all the runes on the ship's hull lit up with a dazzling blood-red light.
The miniature Candle Dragon spirit perched on the mast, its whiskers bristling: "Boys! Prepare for boarding action!"
With its command—
The ship's side armor plates suddenly opened, revealing thirty-six "God-Slaying Crossbows" shrouded in chaotic energy;
A bronze altar rises in the center of the deck, with a miniature version of the Zhuxian Sword Formation floating on it;
The most outrageous part was the stern—which slowly unfurled a pair of metal wings composed of tens of thousands of flying swords!
Baili Pangpang stared in disbelief: "Is this a ship or a Transformer?!"
Zhang Yun channeled the Candle Dragon True Flame into the control panel: "Spirit! How long can it last at maximum power?"
The spirit of the Candle Dragon grinned: "If I drain all your spiritual power... it would be enough to kill you three times over!"
"boom--!!!"
The chains of the rotting angel were the first to strike, but they were shredded into iron filings the instant they touched the barrier of chaos!
But the next second, the Titan's remains swung up and smashed down like half a mountain!
"Hard to left!" Lin Qiye roared.
The Candle Dragon barely avoided the attack by drifting at an almost right angle at sea. Hundreds of sharp sword energies suddenly appeared in the waves stirred up by the ship—the remnants of the sword intent that Zhou Ping had previously unleashed!
"Use that!" An Qingyu suddenly pointed to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Zhang Yun understood, and the true flames of the Candle Dragon poured into the altar.
“Zheng——!!!”
Four illusory figures rose from the sword formation, transforming into towering sword pillars that swept across the sea!
"laugh--!!!"
The Titan's mangled body was severed at the waist, and black blood gushed out like a waterfall!
Suddenly, the demons on the ghost ship all knelt down, their rotting hands plunging into their own chests, pulling out one beating heart after another!
"Sacrifice..."
Those hearts merged in mid-air, transforming into a scarlet eyeball with a diameter of 100 meters!
The instant his eyes moved, Baili Pangpang suddenly screamed and covered his right eye—blood vessels began to appear on the surface of his eyeball!
"Visual pollution!" Michael's holy sword was stuck in the deck. "Don't look at it!"
But it was too late -
The chaotic barrier of the Candle Dragon began to fluctuate violently, and a sickening metallic twisting sound came from all parts of the ship!
"Get out of the way!"
Zhang Yun's Candle Dragon Mark ignited completely, and he transformed into a half-dragon and soared into the sky!
His arms, scales bristling, pressed down hard on the eyeball—
"Chaos Returns to Nothingness!"
"boom--!!!"
Centered on the point of contact, the space cracks like a shattered mirror!
The eyeball struggled frantically, but was ultimately crushed into nothingness inch by inch!
But at the very moment it was completely annihilated, a thought entered everyone's mind:
【█████████】
Blood gushed from Lin Qiye's nose: "The whispers of Cthulhu... it's locating us!"
"We must break through immediately!" Michael's six wings burst into flames. "I'll clear the way!"
He soared into the sky, his holy sword transforming into a pillar of light that stretched across the heavens and earth:
"Seven Heavens - Sword of Judgment!"
"Shua——!!!"
The sea surface was cleaved open, creating a ten-thousand-meter-long trench, with wave walls reaching a thousand meters high on both sides!
"Charge!" Lin Qiye grabbed Baili Pangpang, who was almost thrown off balance.
The Candle Dragon's metal wings fully unfolded, and it sped through the waves amidst the roar of the Chaos Engine!
Just as they were about to break through the encirclement—
A dull tremor suddenly came from the seabed.
"Boom thump... thump thump..."
Like the heartbeat of some giant creature.
Anqingyu's detector went off the charts: "The energy reading below... is a million times higher than before!"
"It's the Void!" Michael's holy sword trembled slightly. "Cthulhu is awakening!"
Suddenly, a whirlpool tens of kilometers in diameter appeared on the surface of the sea, as if the entire ocean was being...swallowed!
Countless terrifying auras emerged.
It's chilling.
Upon seeing this, Baili Pangpang quickly said, "Let's retreat for now. Didn't we come here to find the Ark of the Covenant? It doesn't seem worth fighting here!"
Lin Qiye nodded, his face expressionless.
Zhang Yun said, "Candle Dragon, max out the speed!"
"Full speed away!!!"
Suddenly!
Nine plumes of black smoke billowed from the Candle Dragon.
Like cutting-edge industrial technology, the Candle Dragon is like a tornado, hurtling forward with deadly speed!
