Chapter 324: Chapter 319: Seizing the Skull_1
Beneath the sea, the waters, no longer a clear blue, were muddled with blood and corpses.
Practitioners led by Bai Chaojin were searching for the Giant Snake's head within the ruins of the Central Area on the seabed, but the area was surrounded by the violent Void aura of the Giant Snake, making it extremely difficult to approach.
Fortunately, those Bai Chaojin had brought down were Deputy District Chiefs from various battle zones, who could barely manage to rush into the area with the protection of their True Qi. However, even if they could reach the ruins, searching for the head was extremely difficult.
In that mass of black mist hanging in the seawater, thousands of black rays were also searching for the head. In the process of searching for the head, the Deputy District Chiefs had to contend with these rays, and a single misstep could easily result in becoming a dead body in the vast sea.
"Commander! The beast has started searching the ruins to the east!" a Practitioner's voice spread through True Qi.
"We've turned over everything around! Only that side is left!"
"This creature must have sensed something!"
"Everyone, immediately follow! This time we'll directly try to cut off its rays! We must find the head before it does!"
With these words, Bai Chaojin led a group of Deputy District Chiefs toward the ruins in the east.
Thousands of black rays penetrated the buildings of the ruins, sweeping through the surrounding structures non-stop, moving noticeably faster than before.
"This beast seems to be getting anxious! Quick! We need to sensibly cut off its rays!"
The Chiefs immediately used their strongest Cultivation Techniques. At this critical moment, life and death were of no importance, even if they had to exhaust all their True Qi to cut off these things!
The seawater exploded under the operation of various Cultivation Techniques, with many black rays being severed by the group.
"Something's not right! These things can regenerate! Cutting them off is useless!"
As the group cut through them, the black mist continued to regenerate endlessly, impossible to extinguish.
Hum—
Just as the group was at a loss, suddenly the black mist above the sea began to churn violently. Following that, all the black rays started to converge on one point in the ruins at a very fast speed.
People above the sea also felt the trembling of the black mist and stepped back a bit, ready to accumulate power for a strike.
"Could it be that it's been found!" Bai Chaojin panicked, "Everyone, follow me! We must retrieve it at all costs!"
"Yes!"
The group chased quickly, but it was too late.
They saw a black ray in the ruins pulling out a huge black head. At that moment, the head no longer had any Void aura, as all of its energy had been absorbed by Bai Qi.
But still, should the Giant Snake obtain this head, the consequences were unimaginable.
This was originally a part of the Giant Snake's body, which could easily regain peak condition after being reattached and given some adaptation.
Bang!
Another loud noise erupted as a huge black shadow suddenly burst from the black mist beneath the sea, racing toward the lifted head.
Upon closer inspection, the group saw it was a snake body with no head!
"No good! It's that beast's severed neck from before!"
"It's over! It's going to attach the head!"
Seeing things had come to this, Bai Chaojin immediately took out a pill and swallowed it.
"Get moving!"
"Commander! You're going to die!"
Seeing the pill Bai Chaojin had swallowed, everyone couldn't help but shout out.
Bai Chaojin had just consumed a pill called Blast Pill, which had an effect similar to the Slaughter Heaven Pill, temporarily raising one's Realm. But no Practitioner would typically consume it, because everyone who had, died.
Only Fang Ren, with his Asura Physique, had survived consuming it once, though he was left with only a heart after the incident at Linglong Bay.
Moreover, the effect of this pill was extremely short, only inflating a Practitioner's meridians for a few dozen seconds before resulting in body explosion and death.
Clearly, Bai Chaojin was prepared to die.
As the Blast Pill was swallowed, Bai Chaojin's Realm surged abruptly.
With a flash, he charged in front of the Giant Snake's body, the white light surging over him as he kicked at the headless snake body, sending it retreating a few steps.
Immediately after, he hesitated no longer in abandoning his defense, and with a handful of white light, he exploded it on the black ray dragging the snake head, severing several of the surrounding rays.
But this Giant Snake was beyond even a level nine existence. The moment Bai Chaojin turned around, the severed snake's body viciously struck him on the back. In an instant, the flesh on Bai Chaojin's back exploded, and the intense pain nearly knocked him unconscious on the spot.
"Take it and run!"
Bearing the pain, Bai Chaojin grabbed the head and threw it toward the crowd, then he turned back to entangle with the headless snake's body.
"Father!"
Upon seeing this, Bai Jinlong, the Deputy District Chief of the second area, turned to assist Bai Chaojin.
"None of you come here! Take its head and go!"
The other District Chiefs immediately restrained Bai Jinlong: "Deputy District Chief! Focus on what's important! Now's not the time for rash actions!"
"You all go first!"
During this brief struggle, suddenly the black fog began to tremble anew.
Boom—
In an instant, three black Giant Snakes burst forth from the fog, opening their bloody maws to chase after the deputy district chiefs.
"Run! We can't hold off this thing!"
Seeing this, the deputy district chiefs instantly began to panic. This Black Snake was a Void Beast that surpassed level nine, and without the protection of an Array Master at the bottom of the sea, they were in extreme danger.
"Roar!"
However, their retreat was a bit late. The Black Snake roared angrily with its three heads and launched black beams from its mouth.
The deputy district chiefs didn't have time to dodge and could only use their Cultivation Techniques to resist this attack.
Boom—
Several deputy district chiefs were blasted to the sea surface, each sustaining severe injuries from the impact.
Before they could gather their wits, the black fog suddenly dissipated, revealing the massive Black Eight-headed Snake to everyone's eyes.
Black energy began to gather on its thousand-meter-long body, and in a flash, it surged towards the deputy district chiefs once again.
"The black fog has cleared! Attack it now!"
Above the sea, Mu Huanqing, Xia Mo, and the various District Chiefs, seeing this, bypassed the Void Beast Group and launched an attack on the Black Eight-headed Snake that had lost the protection of the black fog.
At that moment, although the Cultivation Technique in Xia Mo's hands had not fully condensed, the opportunity was too good to miss. He slashed down with "Doomsday Sunlight," and his Sunlight Sword descended, turning the whole sky into daylight.
The impact caused the Giant Snake's body to topple, and the black light from its mouth also veered off its intended path. Experience more content on m v|l e-NovelFire
This beam did not land on the deputy district chiefs, but it struck the surrounding defensive formations instead.
In an instant, thousands of Array Masters could not withstand the impact, vomiting blood and perishing, and the solid defensive formation was shattered to pieces.
"Quick, take the head and run!"
Seeing this, Third District Deputy District Chief Mu Tianyang, despite his acute pain and spitting out a mouthful of blood, grabbed the giant beast's head and flung it towards the distant sky.
A warrior immediately flew to catch the head and turned to dash out of the battlefield.
"Roar!"
Seeing its head being taken away and suffering various strikes from Cultivation Techniques, the Giant Snake roared furiously to the heavens, shaking the clouds.
"Quick! Take this chance to kill it!"
Countless Cultivation Techniques rained down, and the whole sky trembled as if witnessing a scene of annihilation.
The Giant Snake's scales were blasted off, and its black blood scattered across the sky. Despite this, it fiercely fought back, its eight heads blasting columns of light that, in an instant, claimed the lives of countless warriors.
At this moment, Fang Ren and Xu Feng also used the last moments of their pills' effects to make an all-out rush at the Giant Snake.
Xu Feng unleashed all his Cultivation Techniques, while Fang Ren kept back only the Asura Slaughter Blade to avoid revealing his identity.
The attacks grew increasingly fierce, and soon, the Giant Snake no longer spewed black beams. When everyone ceased their assault, all that could be seen above the ocean were thick clouds of smoke mixed with steam.
"We... won?"
"Stay alert! This creature is not just any level nine Void Beast! Its exact level is still unknown!"
