From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 914 - 529: Battling Demons, Cutting Down the Giant Beast (2)
Lu Heng lightly tapped the seawater with his toes, his figure instantly blurred, initiating Void Flash, and appeared behind the demon out of thin air, launching the second move, Flying Dragon Hunting Sky, with the sword blade stabbing straight into its back.
Puff!
The speed of the sword blade was as fast as lightning, not giving the Black Scale Great Demon any chance to react.
At the instant the sword blade pierced the scales, the body of the Black Scale Great Demon suddenly exploded, transforming into a splash of black water shooting in all directions.
At the same time, the seawater above Lu Heng’s head suddenly solidified, transforming into a cubical cage weighing tons, falling down heavily, which was clearly the unique high-rank ability of the Black Scale Demon species—the Black Scale Heavy Water Coffin! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
For anyone else, once trapped by the Black Scale Heavy Water Coffin, the immense pressure inside would crush them into smithereens.
Lu Heng roared, neither dodging nor evading, as the Aurora Blade cleaved upwards with a Rift Slash.
The sword light soared to the sky, splitting the Heavy Water Coffin into two halves.
Within the shattered water curtain, the true form of the Black Scale Great Demon launched a surprise attack from the side, claws shrouded in poisonous black mist lunging straight for Lu Heng’s throat, the claws glinting with poison.
Lu Heng, unable to retract his sword in time, lifted his left hand, spreading his five fingers, as Demigod Power erupted, activating the Divine Origin Battle Armor, and with a "snap," he caught the claw.
The collision of claw and palm unleashed a shockwave, lifting seabed sand and mud into a dust storm tens of meters high.
The Black Scale Great Demon found its claw captured, while Lu Heng’s Aurora Blade was already swinging down.
Its pupils contracted sharply, and its scales suddenly stood on end like thousands of daggers jetting out, deploying another trump card of the high-rank Black Scale Demon—Thousand Scale Kill!
Ding ding ding!
The Black Scale Great Demon had intended to use this trump card to force Lu Heng to release its claw.
However, Lu Heng showed no intention of letting go, directly enhancing the defense of the Divine Origin Battle Armor, taking on the Thousand Scale Kill with a series of metallic clangs.
Meanwhile, his right hand swung the sword horizontally.
The Black Scale Great Demon knew that if it did not break free from Lu Heng’s grasp, its head would be chopped off; at the instant the sword light neared, its right claw twisted at a frightful angle, snapping off directly.
It abandoned its right claw, leveraging the spurting blood to shoot backward like a black shark darting rapidly through the water, making its escape.
Lu Heng’s lips curled into a cold smile as he accelerated, giving chase to the Black Scale Great Demon.
The Black Scale Great Demon, while fleeing, activated various self-rescue skills, intent on disrupting Lu Heng’s pursuit.
However, its trump cards were nearly all played out; had they not been in water, as Lu Heng needed to reserve some strength for dealing with the Abyssal Giant Beast, he could have ended it with his first strike.
The Black Scale Great Demon grew increasingly desperate as its attempts to escape proved futile against the relentless pursuer.
At the moment the sword light neared, it resorted to its last trump card, transforming into a water arrow shooting forward, managing to evade water resistance and flicker rapidly along the seabed, akin to instantaneous movement.
Lu Heng ran his fingertip across the Aurora Blade, executing the third style of the Sword Master’s Ultimate Skill—Space Continuous Slash.
He appeared with greater speed on the escape path of the Black Scale Great Demon, the sword light slashing down.
The Black Scale Great Demon transformed into a water arrow for the second time to shoot forward, yet Lu Heng’s sword stroke was too swift; despite turning into a water arrow, it still lost a leg.
Immediately, Lu Heng executed Space Continuous Slash again, intercepting once more.
After three bursts of water arrow flight, the Black Scale Great Demon’s trump cards were exhausted, having lost an arm and a leg, it was left powerless to resist, only awaiting death on the spot.
Three space jumps, three slashes.
Lu Heng swung a mighty chop downwards, cleaving the body of the Black Scale Great Demon in two, black blood and a piercing wail exploding forth.
[Killed Black Scale Clan Great Demon, absorbed 30000 energy points.]
The Black Scale Great Demon shrieked, expelling a Class Source Material and a Crystal Core.
However, Lu Heng did not wait for the process of the Source Material to conclude, directly turning and charging towards the seabed.
For there remained a more crucial target to eliminate, the ultimate goal of this Abyss Battlefield—the Abyssal Giant Beast.
Lu Heng dashed into the spot marked by the Qingluan Divine Bird, slicing through the spatial membrane with a single sword stroke, bursting into Outer Space.
The laws of Outer Space hold no connection with the Main World, generally, ordinary Superpower Users find themselves crushed into dust by the pressures of Chaotic Space upon entering it.
Even if they withstand the spatial pressures, nothing can be seen with the naked eye.
Only by activating Demigod Vision can the environment of Outer Space be observed.
Upon activating Demigod Vision, Lu Heng did not see the Abyssal Giant Beast itself but saw a trail of ruptured Chaotic Space.
Apparently, the Abyssal Giant Beast had already fled from this realm.
This creature, in the span of just three days, devoured all life across a hundred-kilometer sea region, its size tripling.
Letting this creature escape would undoubtedly spell trouble in the future.
Lu Heng retrieved the Communication Device given by Azik, summoning Azik over, then returned to the seabed, calling Su Muyu down.
Both crossed through Outer Space together, and Azik also arrived, piloting the Star Realm Merchant Ship.
Upon boarding the Star Realm Merchant Ship, they resumed the pursuit of the Abyssal Giant Beast.
This time, the Abyssal Giant Beast did not flee too far nor for too long.
This Star Realm Merchant Ship is a marvel of the Star Realm Merchant Civilization technology, navigating through Outer Space with remarkable speed.
Su Muyu extended Perception, tracking the location of the Abyssal Giant Beast.
Half an hour into the merchant ship’s voyage, Su Muyu suddenly exclaimed: "Found it, just ahead. It’s trying to split again."
"It won’t get another chance this time."
Said Lu Heng, leaping out, with Demigod Power tearing through Chaotic Space, wielding the Aurora Blade, gathering the utmost combat power, locking onto the Abyssal Giant Beast, and slashing with Demigod Sword [Mountain Range].
A sword beam traversing Chaotic Space descended, as if a mountain range fell from the heavens, instantly engulfing the Abyssal Giant Beast, evaporating even the surrounding tens of thousands of meters of space.
The Abyssal Giant Beast initially attempted to hide and undergo splitting, but at the crucial moment of splitting, it was found and, in its attempts to flee, was already enveloped by the mountain-like sword beam.
It struggled and howled within the sword beam but with no resistance against the destructive power of a Demigod Level.
After some time, the ruptured Chaotic Space began to surge back, filling the vacuum, leaving only the remains of the Abyssal Giant Beast at the original location.
Aboard the Star Realm Merchant Ship, Su Muyu saw a silver light pierce through Chaotic Space, shooting outwards, it was Lu Heng returning, landing back on the ship, exhaling heavily.
Soon after, a kill notification appeared.
[Killed Abyss Demon Nest Giant Beast, absorbed 150000 energy points.]
[Source Energy Level increased to Level 66, All Attributes +7, Agility Attribute additionally +2.1]
Upon seeing the kill notification, Lu Heng finally relaxed, and reminded: "Search for any Crystal Core that might have been expelled."
Su Muyu nodded in agreement, dispatching the Qingluan Divine Bird to search for the Crystal Core expelled by the Abyssal Giant Beast.
Moments later, the Qingluan Divine Bird returned with several items.
Among them was a piece of Divine Attribute, three Crystal Cores, and a supplementary material for the Demigod Ceremony.
Supplementary materials are not the primary materials; merely possessing supplementary materials is insufficient to initiate the Ascension Ceremony.
However, this set of supplementary materials is quite useful for the Elf Queen.
With this supplementary material, Queen Orelana has hopeful prospects for rising to a Demigod.
Should another Demigod emerge within the Sword Holder Alliance, it would bolster their efforts on the frontlines against the Abyss.
Su Muyu also took out another piece of Class Source Material and said: "This is what was expelled by the Black Scale Clan Great Demon, it is a Class Source Material."
Lu Heng glanced at it, it was the Ocean system Fifth Transition Class [Deep Sea Fighting God].
This Fifth Transition Class Source Material is most suitable for Liu Haiyang.
It is due to this class that the Black Scale Great Demon could endure so many exchanges with Lu Heng.
Once a [Deep Sea Fighting God] emerges in Da Xia, it signifies that all of Blue Star’s oceans could become Da Xia’s territorial seas.
This is the absolute authority brought by absolute power, without the [Deep Sea Fighting God’s] permission, not a single drop of seawater would heed others’ commands.
Lu Heng handed the supplementary material for the Demigod Ceremony to Su Muyu, saying: "Once this Abyss Battlefield concludes, deliver this to Queen Orelana. She will surely offer a return gift."
