PDLP Chapter 166 Golden Runes
Chapter 166 Golden Runes
Just as the light membrane was about to shatter, the instincts originating from the depths of the Sea Spirit were completely unleashed.
Nan Longyue no longer tried to maintain that precarious defensive bubble.
Instead, he poured all his mind and spiritual energy into controlling the endless seawater around him.
She suddenly pressed down with both arms, and the seawater around her seemed to control her, condensing into two water cones that pierced straight into the turtle's eyes.
The giant claws of the alligator snapping turtle swept across, causing the water cones to explode with a deafening roar, yet the undercurrent still shot towards the gaps in its neck shell.
Then, the alligator snapping turtle roared in pain and spewed out a murky venomous breath.
Seeing this, Nan Longyue transformed into a pale blue afterimage, manipulating dozens of water blades to precisely cut into the turtle's claw joints.
The alligator snapping turtle's attack faltered abruptly, and she seized the opportunity to close in. Her palm blazed with spiritual light, and a water spear pierced through the alligator snapping turtle's lower jaw from below.
Meanwhile, while Nan Longyue was fighting the Crocodile Turtle, Chen Xu quietly sneaked into a dark corner and replaced himself with a disposable training dummy.
After Nan Longyue finished dealing with the alligator snapping turtle, Chen Xu happened to walk out from the corner.
It was at this moment that the bloody scent of the alligator snapping turtle attracted an even more terrifying being.
A colossal creature, hundreds of meters long, emerged from the palace ruins.
The pressure from his Core Formation stage caused the surrounding water to almost stop flowing, and Nan Longyue and Chen Xu's bodies stiffened for a moment.
This is a giant octopus with an extremely bizarre shape.
Its body was covered in deep purple scales that shimmered with a cold, eerie light.
Eight thick tentacles churned the seawater like giant pythons, each end of which was covered with sharp bone spikes that gleamed with a cold light.
What was most chilling was its enormous head, with eight blood-red compound eyes coldly locking onto Chen Xu and Nan Longyue.
A low groan, carrying a stench and an aura of destruction, emanated from its mouth, vibrating the water and causing Chen Xu and Nan Longyue's hearts to pound wildly.
"A powerful demon in the late stage of Core Formation!?" Nan Longyue's pretty face turned pale, and her voice was filled with despair.
Although her Sea Spirit Body was enhanced in the sea, this enhancement was like a drop in the ocean when facing a terrifying late-stage Core Formation being.
"Run!" Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xu shouted, grabbed the still somewhat dazed Nan Longyue, and turned to flee towards the ruins far away from the giant octopus.
However, the giant octopus clearly wouldn't let its prey escape its grasp.
It let out an angry screech, and its eight tentacles suddenly exerted force, propelling its massive body forward like an arrow released from a bow, at an astonishing speed.
Several tentacles, like giant whips, lashed fiercely at the two fleeing individuals.
Chen Xu pulled Nan Longyue and narrowly avoided the lashes of several tentacles. The rubble and water crashed against their protective spiritual energy with loud bangs.
However, another tentacle attacked from the side like a ghost, its sharp bone spikes gleaming with a deadly cold light!
"Watch out!" Nan Longyue screamed, shoving Chen Xu away and simultaneously forming hand seals to gather the surrounding water flow into a thick water shield in front of her.
However, this hastily formed water shield was no match for the power of the Core Formation stage sea beast.
With a loud "bang," the water shield shattered, and the bone spikes pierced Nan Longyue's chest without any obstruction.
She was moving so fast that she didn't have time to dodge again!
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu's gaze sharpened.
Just as he was about to summon Qingling to save the day.
A faint whooshing sound tore through the air, ripping apart the frozen water.
It shot in with perfect precision from above and diagonally, slashing at the end of the tentacle that was piercing towards Nanlongyue.
With a dull cracking sound.
The incredibly sharp bone spikes, along with a large chunk of flesh at the tip of the tentacle, were silently severed by a faint, eerie light.
For all you die-hard fans of Durian who love to share your stories, the latest chapter of "Proving Immortality Through Hextech Runes" has been released!
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and purple blood gushed out instantly, staining the surrounding seawater red.
The giant octopus hissed and its massive body writhed violently.
The remaining tentacles lashed out wildly, turning the surrounding ruins upside down.
The mysterious, eerie light that tore through the water did not cease.
In the instant the giant octopus thrashed violently in agony, several identical beams of eerie blue light silently appeared from different angles.
The giant octopus, at the late stage of Core Formation, suddenly stiffened its massive body, and its eight blood-red compound eyes instantly dimmed.
But in the blink of an eye, he was dead.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and the raging sea instantly returned to calm.
Nan Longyue and Chen Xu, still in shock, suddenly looked up.
A figure was seen silently hovering above the palace ruins not far away, as if it had appeared out of thin air without any warning.
It was a figure dressed in a dark blue robe, the robe shimmering with faint starlight, almost blending into the surrounding environment.
The figure was tall and straight, but his face was completely obscured by the shadow cast by his hood, making it impossible to see clearly.
They could only vaguely sense the cold and sharp gaze emanating from below, sweeping over the two of them as if it were a tangible thing.
Chen Xu was filled with doubt and surprise. This person could easily kill a sea beast in the late stage of Core Formation. Could he be a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Nan Longyue immediately realized what was happening, and, suppressing her surging blood and qi, bowed deeply with difficulty: "Thank you for your help, senior!"
The monk in the dark blue robe seemed completely oblivious to the two men's thanks.
The shadows beneath the hood were so deep that it was impossible to discern any expression from him.
After a brief silence, a cold and indifferent voice seemed to resound directly in their minds:
"Come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure swayed slightly and drifted towards the most magnificent collapsed palace deep within the ruins.
Chen Xu and Nan Longyue exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
There is absolutely no room for refusal when a Nascent Soul cultivator issues an order.
Chen Xu gestured for Nan Longyue to follow, and the two of them did not hesitate and immediately followed the mysterious figure.
Passing through the collapsed, massive columns and the mountain of crystal debris.
The mysterious monk led them into a relatively well-preserved side hall.
The hall was spacious, with thick, glowing moss covering the walls, emitting a faint green light that illuminated the central area.
There were more than just the three of them inside the hall.
As Chen Xu and Nan Longyue stepped into the palace, they immediately felt several wary gazes directed at them.
There were eight monks scattered around the hall, some standing and some sitting.
They were all in a disheveled state, and judging from their clothing, they were clearly survivors who had been sucked into this place by the strange star-moon vortex.
The mysterious monk floated straight to the deepest wall of the palace.
The wall was covered with dense golden runes.
The lines of the runes shimmered faintly in the light reflected from the dark green moss.
When Chen Xu saw those golden runes, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Because these runes are somewhat similar to Sanskrit I had seen in a previous life.
Moreover... this wasn't the first time Chen Xu had seen these golden runes.
I remember the last time we met was in the underground trading house of Nanjiang Dark Pavilion.
These mysterious runes were recorded on one of the broken tortoise shells...
