Chapter 423 The Troublesome Cthulhu (Page 12)
Beneath the pitch-black depths of the sea, the colossal creature—the Lord of the Deep—unfolds in full.
Rotting scales covered the mountain-like body.
Beneath each scale flowed thick, black pus and blood. Its head resembled neither a dragon nor a fish, and its drooping tentacles were entwined with ancient runes, each containing a terrifying power capable of tearing space apart.
Its eyes—those two pitch-black vortexes—slowly rotated, and wherever its gaze fell, the seawater boiled and space distorted!
"Ants... dare to slay a god?"
Its voice exploded directly in Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun's minds, like thousands of steel needles piercing their souls!
The next second—
"boom!!!"
One of the tentacles of the Lord of the Deep suddenly lashed out, moving so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it, tearing a dark rift through space!
Lin Qiye's pupils contracted sharply, and the straight sword in the black box instinctively moved to block—
"boom--!!!"
The moment the blade collided with the tentacles, the terrifying force sent him flying hundreds of meters, crashing heavily into a group of underwater reefs. The reefs collapsed, and dust billowed up!
Zhang Yun's eyes narrowed, and his figure flickered, attempting to use the laws of time to slow down the tentacles' attack, however—
Time... has no effect on me.
The whisper of the Lord of the Deep resounded in his ear, and then another tentacle struck like lightning!
"Shh!"
Zhang Yun was hit head-on, the time barrier shattered like paper, and his body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into several underwater mountain ridges before finally embedding itself in the rock wall!
"cough……!"
Zhang Yun coughed up a mouthful of blood, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Immune to even time?"
The Lord of the Deep swam slowly, its massive body crushing everything in its path. The seawater was compressed by its divine power, forming a vacuum!
"I am the 'Lord of the Deep' under Cthulhu's command... wielding the power of the deep sea..."
"Mere humans... dare to defy the gods?"
Lin Qiye stood up from the ruins, his black box straight sword trembling slightly, the power of darkness swirling around the blade growing stronger.
A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew even sharper.
"Gods?" he sneered. "It's not like we haven't killed them before."
Zhang Yun broke free from the rock wall, dusted off the rubble, and lazily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Tsk, my clothes are torn."
The Lord of the Deep's gaze shifted between the two, a low hum emanating from deep within his throat:
“Ignorance… ignorance…”
"I bestow upon you... eternal death!"
"boom--!!!"
Its body suddenly shuddered, and countless tentacles burst forth from the seabed, each one like a towering pillar, carrying destructive power as it swarmed toward the two of them!
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and the straight sword in the black box suddenly drew out of its sheath—
"Forbidden Ruins - Eternal Night!"
In an instant, the sea area within a radius of a thousand meters centered on him was plunged into absolute darkness!
Even the tentacles of the Lord of the Deep were swallowed by darkness, and his movements suddenly slowed down!
Taking advantage of the moment, Zhang Yun raised his hand, and the eyes of the Sun and Moon Candle Dragon were fully opened. The left eye was like a blazing sun, and the right eye was like a cold moon. The power of time surged out like a tide!
"Time Reversal!"
"Shh-!"
The Lord of the Deep suddenly stiffened, and it was horrified to discover that its movements were reversing!
The tentacles that had just been swung out suddenly retracted uncontrollably!
"impossible……!"
It struggled frantically, unleashing its divine power, and forcefully shattered part of the time-binding barrier!
But in that instant of vulnerability—
Lin Qiye's figure flashed above its head like a ghost, the black box straight sword held high, the power of night on the blade condensed to its limit!
"Eternal Night - The End!"
"laugh--!!!"
With a single slash, the dark blade pierced through the Deep One's head, cutting from his brow all the way to his jaw!
"Roar--!!!"
The Lord of the Deep let out a shrill wail, and jet-black blood gushed out like a waterfall, but it did not fall; instead, it became even more ferocious!
"Humans...you have angered me...!"
Its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, its divine power surged once more, and the entire sea began to boil!
Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes: "Physical attacks are ineffective?"
Lin Qiye landed, slightly out of breath: "Its core isn't here."
Zhang Yun nodded: "Then... let's tear it down!"
The Lord of the Deep was utterly enraged, his body twisting wildly, tearing apart the crust of the seabed with his power, and countless streams of magma gushed out from the cracks!
"I am a god... immortal and indestructible...!"
"You... will eventually turn into dust in the deep sea...!"
Its tentacles attacked again, this time with a jet-black energy ball at the tip of each tentacle, containing terrifying power capable of annihilating space!
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun moved at the same time—
"Swish!" "Swish!"
The two figures dodged and weaved like lightning, and the energy balls exploded behind them, creating huge craters hundreds of meters in diameter on the seabed!
Lin Qiye stomped the ground and soared into the sky, heading straight for the head of the Lord of the Deep!
Zhang Yun clasped his hands together, and the power of time condensed in his palms into an illusory spear, the shaft of which was wrapped with dazzling time runes!
"Time, the Judgment!"
"Whoosh-!"
The Spear of Time shot through the air, instantly piercing one of the tentacles of the Lord of the Deep and freezing it in place!
The Lord of the Deep roared, trying to break free, but the power of time was like a leech, rendering it immobile!
Lin Qiye seized the opportunity and slashed out with the black box straight sword once more—
"Eternal Night - Divine Punishment!"
"boom--!!!"
The blade flashed like ink, tearing through the deep sea, and slashed straight at the chest of the Lord of the Deep!
"laugh--!"
The blade pierced flesh, spurting black blood, but the Lord of the Deep grinned maliciously:
"It's useless... My core... is not in this world...!"
Lin Qiye's eyes turned cold: "As expected..."
Zhang Yun's voice came through: "Seven Nights, hold it off!"
Lin Qiye nodded, his figure flashed again, and the light of his blade poured down like a torrential rain, forcing the Lord of the Deep to defend with all his might!
Zhang Yun closed his eyes, and the power of time surged wildly around him. His consciousness flowed upstream along the river of time, searching for the origin of the Lord of the Deep!
Deep beneath the sea, at the heart of the battlefield.
The colossal body of the Lord of the Deep stood like a mountain.
Black pus and blood flowed from the cracks in the rotting scales, and the tentacles danced like towering pillars, tearing through space with each strike and unleashing a devastating tsunami!
“Ants…struggling…it’s all in vain…”
Its sound was like a thousand steel needles, piercing directly into the souls of Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun, causing their consciousness to tremble!
Lin Qiye was covered in blood, and his black box straight sword had several cracks. He knelt on the seabed reef, panting heavily.
Zhang Yun's condition wasn't much better. The tip of the God-Slaying Spear was slightly bent, and a tentacle had pierced through his right arm, staining half of his body with blood.
The two looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
"The source cannot be found..."
"This guy... is he really just a projection?!"
The Lord of the Deep swam slowly, its dark, swirling eyes looking down at the two, a low laugh emanating from deep within its throat:
"I am the Lord of the Deep, under the command of Cthulhu... My origins... are not something you ants can fathom?"
"Today... I grant you... eternal annihilation!"
"boom--!!!"
Its tentacles lashed out again, at an extreme speed, tearing the space itself apart with dark cracks!
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth, forcibly activating the power of darkness, and parried with his sword—
"boom!!!"
The terrifying impact sent him flying hundreds of meters, crashing heavily into the seabed rock wall, causing it to collapse and sending up clouds of dust!
Zhang Yun's pupils contracted, and the God-Slaying Spear suddenly thrust out, its tip wrapped with the power of time, attempting to slow down the tentacles' attack!
however--
"Time...has no effect on me!"
The tentacles of the Lord of the Deep pierced through the barrier of time without any hindrance and struck Zhang Yun hard in the chest!
"Click——!!!"
The sound of ribs breaking was clearly audible. Zhang Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing into several underwater mountain ridges!
"Zhang Yun!"
Lin Qiye rushed out of the ruins and caught Zhang Yun. The two staggered to their feet, their faces extremely pale.
"Damn it... how do you fight this thing?!"
Zhang Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes icy: "Since we can't find the source... then we'll just dismantle it by force!"
He suddenly looked up, and the power of time surged wildly around him. The cracks on the God-Slaying Spear were instantly repaired, and the spear body emitted a dazzling golden light!
"The Law of Heaven and Earth—Open!"
"boom--!!!"
Zhang Yun's body suddenly swelled, transforming into a bronze giant a hundred meters tall, his skin covered with ancient time runes, and the God-Slaying Spear also grew rapidly, its tip wrapped in a destructive torrent of time!
Seeing this, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and the cracks on the Black Box Straight Blade were forcibly repaired by the power of the night!
"Forbidden Ruins - Eternal Night!"
"Shh-!"
Centered on him, the sea area within a radius of a thousand meters was instantly plunged into absolute darkness. Even the tentacles of the Lord of the Deep were swallowed by the darkness, and his movements slowed down for a moment!
Zhang Yun's giant form stepped forward, and the God-Slaying Spear swept out!
"Time - Disruption!"
"boom--!!!"
Wherever the spear passed, space shattered inch by inch, and one of the tentacles of the Lord of the Deep was severed, with black blood gushing out!
The Lord of the Deep let out a painful roar, but soon, the severed tentacles wriggled and regenerated!
"It's no use... I am a god... immortal and indestructible!"
It suddenly opened its massive maw, and a jet-black energy ball condensed in its throat, containing the power to annihilate everything!
Lin Qiye's eyes sharpened, his figure flashed, and the black box straight knife pierced straight into the eyes of the Lord of the Deep!
"Eternal Night - Divine Punishment!"
"laugh--!!!"
The blade flashed like ink, piercing the deep sea and aiming straight for the eyes of the Lord of the Deep!
The Lord of the Deep was forced to interrupt the condensation of the energy ball. Its head snapped to the side, and a blade grazed its cheek, tearing open a hideous wound!
"Insects...you're asking for death!"
It flew into a rage, and countless tentacles came crashing down on it!
Zhang Yun's giant form slammed into the ground, and the God-Slaying Spear shot out like a storm. Wherever the spear passed, the power of time erupted, forcefully blocking most of the tentacles!
However, the power of the Lord of the Deep was too terrifying, and even with the two joining forces, they were still forced to retreat step by step!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lin Qiye and Zhang Yun were blasted away repeatedly, their blood staining a large area of the sea!
"cough……!"
Lin Qiye knelt on the ground. The black box straight sword had completely shattered, leaving only half of the hilt.
Zhang Yun's giant form was also covered in cracks, and the tip of the God-Slaying Spear was completely bent.
Both men were panting heavily, but their eyes still burned with fighting spirit.
