Chapter 779: Chapter 68: Martial Soul Map: The Bright Moon Rises Over the Sea (Part 2)
Faced with ordinary and refined-level Canglan beasts, they could barely hold on, but when the flawless-level Canglan beast appeared, it immediately shattered the balance, requiring two to three of them to be withdrawn to deal with the flawless-level Canglan beast.
It’s not that they couldn’t kill the flawless-level Canglan beast one-on-one, but in this situation, they couldn’t afford any delay. They had to quickly kill the flawless-level Canglan beast. Once they were stalled, the battle formation would completely collapse.
"Not good, a flawless-level Canglan beast is about to appear, everyone stay vigilant."
Zeng Xi suddenly called out loudly, and because of his words, everyone’s attention was heightened, all eyes fixed on the sea ahead.
After fighting for a two-hour period, Zeng Xi had already proven the strength of his Divine Soul.
The appearance of the previous few flawless-level Canglan beasts had been anticipated by Zeng Xi in advance.
However, this time, they were deceived by Zeng Xi, and the reason for Zeng Xi’s actions was simple: he didn’t want the others to notice Lin Chen’s condition.
If they discovered that Lin Chen’s breakthrough was obstructed, they would certainly have other thoughts, and in the current situation, there was no room for such disloyalty.
If the formation was inadvertently breached, not only would Lin Chen be unable to break through, but they would also be surrounded and annihilated by the Canglan beasts.
Even without other thoughts, if they felt hopeless and lost their resolve, they would still be overwhelmed by the Canglan beasts.
...
Within the Divine Soul.
At this moment, Lin Chen was astounded as he gazed at the lower part of the Star Map, where those stars that had been knocked off slowly transformed into a band of blue light.
The Canglan energy struck the Star Map, but it couldn’t penetrate those high-hanging stars; instead, it gradually seeped into and permeated the fallen stars below.
The densely fallen stars at the bottom, under the influx and dyeing of the Canglan energy, turned into blue bands of light.
As stars kept falling, the band of blue light began to expand, layer upon layer, and eventually formed a blue ocean.
The stars and Canglan energy finally transformed into an ocean.
This result shocked Lin Chen; the falling stars signified the Divine Soul, and he could never have imagined such a mystical combination of the Divine Soul and Canglan energy.
After a long time, the bottom of the Divine Soul Map was filled with a Canglan ocean, reaching the boundary of the entire star-filled expanse, with deep and vast seawater continually churning.
Rumble!
At the moment when the Canglan ocean formed, a thunderous sound resounded. In that instant, Lin Chen had an indescribable feeling, as if nothing in this world could restrain him anymore.
At that moment, he seemed to break free from some kind of shackle, as if soaring like an immortal.
He saw his past self, whether in cultivation, in combat, or even catching fish in Poyang Lake, every move, even just a small lift of his hand, was manipulated by countless thin lines.
These threads wrapped around his entire body, initially hindering his movements; even taking a step forward felt like the threads were pulling him back and down.
Whether walking or cultivating, it was always so.
As his Martial Arts Realm improved, these threads ceased to be obstacles and instead became his aids. When he leapt, the threads suddenly lifted him higher.
But now, he saw all the threads on his body dissolve, and this invisible shackle disappeared.
This feeling was mystical, and along with this mystical sensation emerged, within his Dantian Divine Soul, the weapon manifestations connected by stars plunged like meteors, each imbued with its own Martial Path Will, toward the ocean below.
The four weapons crashed heavily into the ocean floor with overwhelming waves of energy spreading out, stirring invisible energy tides.
In the next moment, the surface of the Canglan ocean churned, rising into a majestic storm.
The first wave rose, revealing a long spear bursting through the water, its tip glinting with a terrifying power capable of penetrating anything, driving the surrounding water into a deep vortex.
The second wave rose, a long halberd with a domineering aura of sky-sundering sea-cracking, wedged beside the long spear, silently slicing open the sea.
The third wave rose, and a long saber as solid as a mountain slowly ascended from the sea surface, the surrounding waters swirling madly, engulfing everything.
The fourth wave rose, a giant hammer emerged from the waves, its imposing power surpassing the other three.
[Racing Against Time: The Martial Soul prototype is formed, introduce the power of the Blood Moon to fully form.]
The words of the panel’s prompt appeared again in Lin Chen’s mind. Sensing these words, Lin Chen opened his eyes for the first time, his gaze directed towards the sky.
A blood moon hung high above, emanating an eerie red glow.
Without hesitation, Lin Chen dismissed his Protective Gang Qi, allowing the eerie red light to fall upon him.
The red light fell on his skin and was quickly absorbed into his body. These red light filaments moved within him like blood threads, as if searching for a target, until they reached the Dantian. Upon sensing the presence of the Divine Soul Map, these red light threads seemed to discover their target and frantically drilled into the Star Map.
Lin Chen’s body surface began to glow with the same eerie red light.
Meanwhile, as Lin Chen absorbed the Blood Moon energy, Zeng Xi and the others’ battle with the Canglan beasts reached a critical moment.
Thud!
Qiao Yuan, once again slashed in the back by a Canglan beast’s long saber, sustained a deep, bone-revealing wound, spurting blood, and staggered forward.
"Be careful!"
A fellow disciple of the Canglan Sect nearby saw this and quickly came to support, blocking the Canglan beast poised to chase down Qiao Yuan.
