Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 434: Kraken?

The bubble instantly ruptured, and they fell into the water. When they finally saw what the attacker was, however, their expressions couldn’t help but change.

It was a massive, octopus-like creature. Its tentacles seemed to be over a thousand meters long. At the center of all the tentacles was an enormous head. Two-thirds of that head was occupied by a bloody mouth.

The rows of sharp teeth within were like meat grinders, enough to tear any living thing into shreds. In its forehead were two giant red lantern-sized eyes that stared directly at Sharky’s group.

Sharky felt his scalp turn numb as he asked, "What cultivation realm is it at?"

Charlotte gulped and replied, "I do not know, but it should be higher than ours."

Diana snapped impatiently, "Isn’t that obvious?"

Sharky immediately became discouraged. Ascension soul? Charlotte and Diana were only at the wisdom soul level! This thing was a whole greater cultivation realm higher than them!

Monsters were usually stronger than similar-ranked cultivators too. This thing was something not even Charlotte or Diana at their peak could defeat!

What’s going on with this Unknown Region? Why are there ridiculously terrifying creatures everywhere?

They had just run into one of the Four Perils, the Vritra. The monster had filled the entire mountain with resentment and had strength comparable to the Fiend Emperor. Now, they had run into an ascension soul sea monster?!

The ascension soul wasn’t that far from the earth’s immortal rank. Furthermore, it was in its home domain, so even if the Vritra came over to mess with it, nothing good awaited it.

Sharky thought to himself that his luck really was freaking terrible today. He even started to wonder if there was something wrong with the Unknown Region.

The giant octopus-like sea monster’s tentacles swept toward them. However, Diana harrumphed and took out her Crescent Ring, hacking at the closest tentacle.

She had already recovered seventy percent of her strength by relying on the spring. She had much more confidence now than before.

However, she was stunned to find that the monster sent her weapon flying with a single lash of its tentacle.

Even though her Crescent Ring wasn’t a divine weapon, it was a heaven-grade weapon! It could cut through metal effortlessly, and yet today, it couldn’t even cut through the giant octopus’ flesh!

"Be careful!" Sharky warned her. There were more tentacles sweeping toward her. Even though he had seen some tentacle works, actually leaving the beauties around him to be at their mercy felt entirely different.

However, Diana reacted quickly. Tapping her toes, she leaped backward like a mermaid, avoiding the attacks of the tentacles all around them. Despite that, she didn’t even have a moment to catch her breath before more tentacles surrounded her.

She recalled the Crescent Ring back to her side. Her hair that reached all the way to her bottom spread outward. Her face was completely dark, her eyes full of killing intent. Her surroundings turned blood-red as she activated her domain, no longer holding back at all. Despite blocking all the tentacles, however, she was still trapped.

Meanwhile, the temperature suddenly dropped. A trace of white crept across the azure seawater as part of it froze into ice.

The Snowflake Sword in Charlotte’s hands flew around gracefully, neutralizing the tentacles’ vicious attacks one after another.

Sharky noticed that whenever her sword tapped against the tentacles, a layer of frost covered their surface. However, they didn’t really freeze.

How terrifying was Charlotte’s Snowflake Sword? When she used it in conjunction with her domain, any human cultivator, even those at the master rank, could end up instantly turning into a frozen sculpture. And yet now, this big octopus only had a layer of frost covering its tentacles!

Comparatively, Alina was in much more danger. Her cultivation was inferior to that of the two grandmasters. A tentacle quickly wrapped around her. Her failure to evade in time quickly resulted in more tentacles binding her firmly in place.

Sharky was shocked. He was just about to rush over to save her when he saw that Alina suddenly reappeared a dozen or so meters away.

Meanwhile, the tentacles also loosened their grip. It turned out they had only captured a drawing, which had already been torn to shreds.

Sharky quickly used Shadow Phoenix to move over to Alina’s side. Her face was pale white, and she still felt fear as she looked at the giant octopus’ tentacles.

She explained, "After seeing Paper Bride’s methods, I also learned how to make a few substitutes."

She excelled in drawing, and drawings were made on paper, so their abilities shared many similarities. It had been easy for her to learn from reference.

However, Sharky didn’t have time to praise her, because many more tentacles swept toward the two of them. He took out the Poisonous Prick, thinking of teaching it a proper lesson.

The Poisonous Prick was a weapon that seemed to contain its own laws and principles. As long as it could pierce through and cause a wound, this giant octopus would be dead for certain, despite being a terrifying ascension soul grandmaster.

If it were any other ascension soul cultivator, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to hurt them, but this octopus was too big.

Furthermore, it was brandishing its tentacle at him. If he couldn’t land a shot even in such a situation, he would be just like the national soccer team’s strikers from his previous world.

Sharky was worried that its defense was too high, so he used the Star Shattering Imprint. His power increased tenfold as he thrust the Poisonous Prick at the incoming tentacle.

Spurt!

Sharky cheered inwardly, because it hit! However, his expression immediately changed, because something wasn’t right with the tentacle. It was too slippery, so his attack was deflected at an angle.

The great octopus seemed to have been scared badly and immediately pulled back all its tentacles. A world-shaking roar echoed through the region. The giant octopus was clearly infuriated that it had almost died at the hands of an ant.

Sharky felt a chill down his spine. This thing is called the Kraken?

As the tentacles withdrew, Charlotte and Diana finally broke free and moved over to his side. They all tacitly agreed to turn around and run on the spot. They knew that even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for the ascension soul stage sea monster.

Because their cultivations were quite high, they had been able to continue for a long time underwater without breathing. However, if they fought intensely, they definitely wouldn’t be able to hold on for that long.

Furthermore, when they were underwater,whether it was the speed of their attacks or their ki consumption, it would be several times more difficult to maintain than on dry land.

"What happened? Did you miss it?" Diana asked in alarm as they fled.

The women naturally knew how powerful the Poisonous Prick in Sharky’s hands was, since they had teamed up with him to kill the Scaled Deathworm.

Sharky raised the dagger in front of them. As they saw the layer of pink mucus around it, he said with a strange expression, "That thing’s tentacle is covered in layers of thick mucus. Not only did it have extremely powerful defensive strength, it also made my attack slide to one side, causing it to miss."

The Poisonous Prick was only a certain length, so he hadn’t been able to stab into the sea monster’s flesh at all. After learning that lesson, however, the Kraken wouldn’t give him a second chance.

"This is bad. That sea monster is chasing after us, and it’s much faster than us. We won’t be able to get away," Alina said. She turned around and saw the giant octopus swinging countless tentacles all over, wrapping around them like a huge web. Her face became deathly pale.

Women had a natural sense of fear and disgust toward tentacle-like objects. When they thought about being captured by those things, even Diana and Charlotte, who weren’t scared of death, felt frightened. Sharky knew they would be captured soon, too.

A resolute expression appeared on Alina’s face. However, at that moment, Charlotte stopped her and said, "Don’t do it. There is too big of a cultivation difference between the two of you. Even if you unleash Medusa’s Eye at full power, you will not be able to petrify it, and will only destroy yourself." She had personally experienced the highest level of the Medusa’s Eye before, so she had the right to say that.

Charlotte’s hair fluttered around, and white light gradually spread outward from her. Meanwhile, Diana also took out the Empress Lantern with a cold expression.

Sharky quickly grabbed Diana’s hand and said, "You two, don’t be so hasty. I have a way."

He didn’t have time to explain. He took out the Scaled Deathworm’s corpse from the Brilliant Glass Bead and threw it at the giant octopus behind him. Then, he grabbed the three women and swam toward the ocean bottom.

---

As soon as the Scaled Deathworm corpse that was hundreds of meters long appeared, the Kraken looked as if it were facing a great enemy. It couldn’t be bothered to chase after them anymore, and instead sprayed an endless stream of pink liquid at the Scaled Deathworm.

Sharky saw that when he turned around. and couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. Don’t octopuses spray out ink? Why is this stuff pink? He suddenly thought of something and stored the liquid that was on the Poisonous Prick into a small bottle.

Charlotte couldn’t help but frown when she saw that, asking, "What are you collecting this stuff for?"

"This stuff looks special. It might be of use in the future." Sharky replied.

"Gross," Diana said with a look of disdain. The memory of the giant octopus’ sudden appearance had clearly left her with a psychological shadow.

Alina subconsciously shifted to one side.

When the Kraken saw that the Scaled Deathworm didn’t have any reaction, it reached out and wrapped a tentacle around the worm’s body, making sure to avoid its terrifying mandibles. The moment the tentacle touched the Scaled Deathworm, smoke rose from its surface.

Sharky and the others were stupefied. They had seen how tough the Scaled Deathworm was with their very own eyes, and yet it was being corroded by this octopus so easily!

The Kraken finally confirmed that the Scaled Deathworm was dead. Countless tentacles wrapped around the massive corpse, then sent it toward the monster’s mouth. Even though it was far away, the cracking that followed was still clearly audible.

Sharky and the others shivered. This octopus monster’s mouth was too much! It had actually eaten the Scaled Deathworm just like that? It wasn’t even going to peel the shell?

Diana asked with a grave expression, "Sharky, do you really have a solution? That monster has already created its yin soul. No matter how far we go, we won’t be able to escape its perception."

She assumed Sharky’s cultivation was too low and that he didn’t understand the skills of those at that level, thus leading him to make an erroneous judgment.

Alina asked, "Are you using that Scaled Deathworm to fill up that monster, so it won’t be interested in us anymore?"

Charlotte shook her head. "For creatures of this level, their desire for food is quite low. It already began fighting us, so it would not give up that easily."

Alina’s face paled when she heard that explanation.

Sharky said, "Don’t worry, I have a way." Then, he didn’t add anything else and instead took the women deeper, moving toward the ocean floor.

For ordinary people, the pressure of the water would be enough to crush them into pancakes. However, all of them had high cultivation, so their bodies were tougher than that.

They could resist the powerful water pressure. The deeper they went, however, the dimmer the light around them became. Eventually, their surroundings turned pitch-black.
