MTLNOVEL Chapter 1015: Another Dimension
"What was the cultivation level of this creature while it was alive? Its corpse still exudes a faint aura, causing rare treasures to grow on it."
Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh.
The waters of Soul Burial Lake can devour vitality, yet the octopus corpse is preserved to this extent, proving the extraordinary cultivation it possessed in life.
The natural treasures growing on the corpse are also exceptionally valuable, especially in a place like Chaotic Sea City, where they can auction for higher prices.
There are nine Profound Meaning Crystal Stones, each with different attributes. Chen Yu sensed the Space Profound Meaning Crystal Stones.
The octopus corpse also has hidden parts unknown, possibly concealing other treasures.
"Alright."
For now, Chen Yu joined the team.
The powerful Octopus Ghost King had just repelled the Great Commander, Flame Human Clan, Earth Spirit Clan, and others; showing its formidable strength. Only by joining forces can they seek benefits.
"Die, die!"
The Octopus Ghost King's two dark crimson eyes flashed, and its roar echoed.
It seemed to harbor endless resentment, and launched an attack.
Whizz whizz whizz!
Countless black tentacles shot out, weaving into a massive black net that enveloped the heavens and earth.
The sense of a sealed-off space arose, making movement extremely difficult for everyone.
This was the spatial attribute Profound Meaning.
Chen Yu had sensed this earlier.
This was why the Octopus Ghost King was so troublesome and overpowering; precisely why it could survive here with such a massive stature.
"Commander Chen, could you utilize the spatial attribute Profound Meaning to weaken the spatial binding?"
Tower Stone King said politely.
Though Chen Yu was reluctant to protect these people, he still contributed some effort.
"Thunder Shield."
The Great Commander opened his palm, lightning flashed, forming a round shield of light.
Liu Family Commander, who had sustained scars from spatial rifts, sought refuge aside, having endured an attack in the previous battle against the Octopus Ghost King.
Boom! Sizzle!
Black tentacles struck, scattering the lightning, and themselves disintegrated.
Faced with the attack of the black tentacles, Chen Yu punched hard, shattering them.
But soon after, the black tentacles stirred again across the space, causing upheaval on the lake bottom, disrupting the space with frequent rift appearances.
Chen Yu had to be cautious, continuously punching to shatter the enemy's attacks.
The Great Commander focused his eyes, gathering lightning to form a giant thunderball.
Boom!
The thunderball exploded, annihilating the black tentacles within a certain range.
On the other side, the Earth Spirit Clan and Flame Human Clan had large numbers, handling the situation with relative ease.
But everyone still had to guard against the occurrence of spatial rifts, thus diverting their attention.
After a round of fierce attacks from the Octopus Ghost King.
The crowd immediately launched a counterattack, rocks, fireballs, lightning, fist aura raining down.
Yet, to kill the Octopus Ghost King, this was far from enough.
Though there were many present, only the Great Commander was at the peak of the Star Condensing Middle Stage, while others dared not get too close to the Octopus Ghost King.
In this environment, the Octopus Ghost King held the same advantage as the Merfolk Clan.
At this moment.
Two members of the Merfolk Clan arrived: an elder fish with black scales "Senior Lai" and the trident-wielding Blue Water King.
With a brief observation, they understood the current situation.
Senior Lai and Blue Water King's gaze lingered longer on Chen Yu, with clear murderous intent.
"Merfolk Clan, you don't plan on acting?"
The Great Commander asked, feeling it was unlikely.
The Flame Human Clan and Earth Spirit Clan thought the same, but the key was, how to distribute the spoils later?
Three factions, differing in numbers and strength, making distribution difficult.
"Hehe, this Ghost King has long caught our Merfolk Clan's attention, how could we not act?"
Blue Water King chuckled.
During the previous exploration by the Merfolk Clan, they had set their sights on this Octopus Ghost King.
"How about this, after killing this Ghost King, we split the spoils evenly."
Senior Lai said with a smile.
"That's good." The Great Commander said.
"Alright."
The Flame Human Clan and Earth Spirit Clan agreed as well, though numerous, their average strength was low, especially the three Flame Humans, who felt uncomfortable staying here.
Blue Water King furrowed his brows with an expression of confusion.
In his view, there was no need to split evenly, once the Merfolk Clan forces were fully gathered, they would be the strongest faction here.
Because previously, Senior Lai had already killed two humans and one Earth Spirit, hence the delay.
With this thought, Blue Water King's gaze towards Senior Lai was filled with more reverence.
"After I spoke, the three tribes wouldn't join forces; how the spoils are exactly distributed later depends on one's abilities."
Senior Lai seemed to understand Blue Water King's doubt, transmitting clarification.
A moment later.
The crowd from the four tribes began to attack the Octopus Ghost King.
At this moment, everyone's overall strength greatly increased, with ten Kings in total; they were quite confident against the Octopus Ghost King.
Senior Lai waved his hand, forming a mass of black mist in front of him, exuding a decaying, deathly aura.
Swish swish!
From within the black mist, a dozen tentacles extended, carrying a chilling deathly aura, entwining the thick tentacles of the Octopus Ghost King.
The large and small tentacles intertwined, dissipating each other, mutually extinguishing.
The surrounding water's death energy also converged towards him, making Senior Lai's aura more terrifying, like a grim reaper from Hell.
The Earth Spirit Clan and Flame Human Clan united, easily handling the attacks from the Octopus Ghost King, their attacks exceptionally fierce.
Though the Flame Human Clan excelled in Fire Dao and Yang Dao, despite lacking power, they could still inflict visible damage on the Octopus Ghost King.
Within the Human Race, the Great Commander drew attention.
His palms continuously emitted lightning, severing tentacle after tentacle of the Octopus Ghost King, striking hard on its body, leaving deep pits.
Chen Yu made appropriate moves, knowing that with so many people, they would eventually kill the Octopus Ghost King.
Moreover, Senior Lai and the Blue Water King harbored clear killing intent towards him, so he needed to hide his strength and reserve his means.
After a fierce battle.
The Octopus Ghost King was overwhelmed, severely injured, and filled with even more hatred and anger.
Suddenly, from the body of the Octopus Ghost King, a pitch-black wave of light spread out, filled with thick black fog, sweeping in all directions.
"Soul attack."
Senior Lai's pupils shrank, immediately pausing his actions, fortifying his spirit to resist.
Boom!
The pitch-black wave swept in all directions, plunging the world into darkness.
Everyone's spirit trembled with pain, unable to release their Spiritual Sense.
Adding to the pitch-black scene before them, everyone sensed an intense life-and-death crisis.
The half of the Jade Pendant on Chen Yu's body reduced part of the soul attack's damage, making his situation manageable.
Facing the pitch-black world, he simply ignored it and employed the Star Pattern Robe, defending with all his might.
Boom!
"Ah..."
Explosions and wretched screams ensued.
Chen Yu suddenly sensed danger, forcibly resisting an attack, retreating a hundred feet, with his blood and Qi stirring within.
He was not in serious danger; if the Octopus Ghost King concentrated attacks on him, it could be critical, but the chaotic attack failed to penetrate his Star Pattern Robe's defense.
The darkness gradually dissipated, and the soul influence slowly returned to normal.
Two were dead.
One from the Flame Human Clan, the other the Liu Family Commander.
The rest suffered varying degrees of injuries, with the Blue Water King bearing a deep wound, visible to the bone.
After causing death and injury, the four clans visibly enraged, their attacks intensified somewhat.
Boom!
The Great Commander's eyes emitted thunderous light, merging into one, piercing the body of the Octopus Ghost King, leaving a large hole.
Senior Lai pressed his hand, releasing a mass of deathly black fog.
The Earth Spirit Clan and Flame Human Clan launched attacks together.
Chen Yu mobilized his physical strength, throwing a brilliant punch.
In fact, he wished for the Octopus Ghost King to launch more attacks like these, weakening others' states, especially Senior Lai of the Merfolk Clan.
Soon, the Octopus Ghost King's aura weakened, nearing the brink of death.
At a certain moment.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the Octopus Ghost King's body exploded.
Before its death, the Octopus Ghost King unleashed all remaining power.
Faced with the terrifying power surge, everyone could keenly feel it, dodging in advance.
Boom!
A mass of pitch-black ghost force expanded, with water currents vibrating, shaking the space.
Spatial cracks appeared around, expanding and connecting, forming a massive gap leading to unknown space.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
From the unknown space, ghostly shadows and fragmented treasures, profound artifacts emerged.
At this moment, everyone's eyes wide open, suddenly realizing.
The root of the anomaly in Soul Burial Lake seemed to be here, hiding another extremely unstable space.
Those resentful souls, fierce ghosts, fragmented ancient treasures, profound artifacts, and intense ghostly Evil Qi all originated from another space.
The other space, leading who-knows-where, felt like a bad place.
Yet, however.
Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!
Chen Yu's mysterious heart, at this moment, pulsed with an incomparably strong urge.
This feeling, just like when he encountered the Bloodline Ancestor's blood.
"No way."
Chen Yu's mouth twitched; that unknown space, everything was uncertain, extremely unsafe.
The others watched for a moment, then cautiously left, swiftly approaching the octopus corpse to seize treasures.
Chen Yu too quickly withdrew, grabbing the spoils.
Boom!
The Great Commander struck a reef, revealing the intact octopus corpse.
Unfortunately, apart from some treasures near the crack, nothing of value remained elsewhere.
As for the octopus corpse, though formidable during its life, Soul Burial Lake's water could corrode vitality, and at this moment, held little value.
"Space Profound Meaning Crystal Stone!"
Chen Yu pushed the space profound meaning to the limit, focusing on the crystal stone of profound meaning.
Swoosh!
The spatial attribute profound meaning crystal stone floated, radiating silver light, bypassing everyone and swiftly approaching Chen Yu.
Chen Yu grabbed it, tossed it into his storage pouch, and began seizing other treasures.
People acted extremely fast, even revealing hostility, suddenly engaging in a fierce battle.
Boom!
An explosion right there, Chen Yu targeted by Senior Lai specifically, retreated a hundred feet but remained unharmed, as the opponent didn't go all-out, fearing destruction of treasures.
Yet Chen Yu managed to grab a profound meaning crystal stone, several crystal fragments, and five precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
On the corpse, numerous crystal fragments and an oddly glowing blue grass remained.
Everyone's gaze fixed, the atmosphere frozen.
At this moment, both Senior Lai and the Blue Water King simultaneously took out identical Tokens.
Someone seemed to be transmitting messages to them.
In the next moment, their expressions changed drastically, eyes widened, breathing became rapid.
They immediately turned, looked at the gradually shrinking space gap, and without a word, dashed inside.
This scene left the remaining clans' people dumbfounded.
Why did the Merfolk Clan rush towards the unknown space so urgently, forsaking the treasures before them; was there something more precious inside?
