Chapter 4022 - 4041: Divine Soul Attack
Lin Chen hovered in the starry sky and drew his Black Blade.
Although I don’t know exactly what it is, at least I can confirm that a dangerous creature lurks beneath the sand sea.
So many avatars appeared in different locations, and almost everyone encountered an attack simultaneously. The attack scenes were similar, indicating that whatever is hidden beneath the sand sea launched an indiscriminate attack over a vast range.
There is only one answer: either numerous mysterious life forms coexist under the sand sea, launching attacks simultaneously, or all the attacks were instigated by a single entity.
If it is the former, it is naturally understandable—a misunderstood race hiding in the sand sea launching an attack on intruders. If the latter, the answer becomes a bit abstract.
How big must that entity be?
No matter if it’s big or not, let’s slash it twice first and see.
Lin Chen wielded the Black Blade, suddenly slashing down with tremendous power toward the planet below.
The power of this stroke could split a small planet, yet for the colossal entity before me, breaking it is obviously impossible, but it would surely leave a noticeable scar on the planet.
Will this strike kill the thing below?
No matter if it dies or not, slash it first and talk later.
Safety first!
Lin Chen saw with his own eyes the death of those avatars on the screen. Before he could figure out the opponent’s attack method, it was better to be cautious.
I initially thought, no matter how fierce the foreign beast, I could at least see it, and if we couldn’t defeat it, we could flee. However, many have died by now, yet we still don’t know what the opponent is. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Fortunately, it was Lin Chen’s avatars that died. Nevertheless, thinking about the sudden deaths of those avatars and the acts of marching and camping by everyone on the earth’s surface yesterday, everyone felt quite fearful.
If the creature hidden below the ground came at us the same way, would our group, just like the avatars, be annihilated instantly?
A terrifying blade beam, carrying dreadful power, fell from the starry sky, like divine punishment descending from the heavens.
"Boom!"
This slash landed on the sand sea, rapidly splitting it into two, then continued to crack downward, with the crack extending swiftly into the distance.
The entire ground trembled wildly, and a horrifying abyss appeared visibly on the land.
"Woo!"
Lin Chen suddenly sensed a harrowing howl, like a wounded bear. Simultaneously, a terrifying invisible wave surged upward from the abyss, sweeping toward Lin Chen and his companions.
Lin Chen and the others all showed a drastic change in expression. Is this a Divine Soul Attack?
In an instant, the terrifying wave had swept across the four of them, and Lin Chen felt as if his head had been struck hard with a club, his vision nearly blacking out, stars dancing before his eyes.
Lin Chen almost collapsed, his vision going dark.
He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, the sharp pain jolting him awake instantly.
Turning his head to look at the three women beside him, he found their faces pale, their eyes filled with terror, obviously having suffered the same indiscriminate attack.
"Dr. Ning!"
Lin Chen’s face changed, he flashed into the observation station only to find Dr. Ning already collapsed on the ground.
A shiver ran through Lin Chen. He scanned with his Divine Sense, slightly relaxing his heart.
Still alive!
Lin Chen squatted down to check Dr. Ning, finding his face deathly pale, blood seeping from all seven orifices, yet he was indeed alive, just in very poor condition.
Lin Chen took out a medicinal pill for treating Spiritual Soul Injuries and fed it to Dr. Ning, then retrieved the Void Pearl to collect Dr. Ning.
Although unclear about what lies below, the recent heavy strike has confirmed that it was a mental attack, or you could say, a Divine Soul Attack.
This wave of Divine Soul Attack was ferocious, injuring all four of Lin Chen’s group.
Lin Chen glanced at the observation station, thinking it likely protected Dr. Ning; otherwise, he could not have withstood this attack.
The observation station has various protective measures, possibly a protective shield that blocked most of the attack; otherwise, he might have died directly.
The observation station couldn’t detect it, nor could our Divine Sense perceive it, yet it possesses such terrifying Divine Soul Attack. What kind of peculiar life form is this?
He finally understood how those avatars died. Such a powerful Divine Soul Attack was hard to withstand, even for him as a Heaven Deity with terrifying Divine Sense. How could those avatars withstand it?
Under such a powerful Divine Soul Attack, they were obliterated instantly, resulting in the previously detected scene.
"There’s a life form below, yes, probably just one life form."
Lin Chen looked at the other three women, who nodded in recognition, having felt the massive attack, realizing it originated from one place, not multiple.
Gu Yuexi replied, "Does the opponent seem very angry? Did you guys feel that?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Did that last slash of mine hit it?"
Nalan Wushuang looked below and asked, "What should we do now?"
Lin Chen snorted coldly, "Whatever it is, slash it a few more times before talking!"
Lin Chen conjured the Linglong Tower, "Let’s all slash together, and after that, we hide inside it; the Divine Soul Attack can’t harm us inside the Linglong Tower."
"Okay!"
All four drew their Black Blades, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "With all our strength, one slash each, then hide."
The four accumulated power and unleashed their blades again.
Four terrifying blade beams descended from the heavens. Before the blade beams touched the ground, the four of them had already taken refuge inside the Linglong Tower.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
Four terrifying energy slashes instantly tore apart the ground, crisscrossing and creating huge wounds.
From the starry sky looking down, the planet bore four obvious cracks, like four dark scars.
A silent howl erupted from the depths of the abyss, and a terrifying Divine Soul Attack swept across the starry sky like a celestial storm.
Lin Chen and the others hid inside the Linglong Tower, completely avoiding this wave. After a moment, the four flashed out once again.
Lin Chen looked at the terrifying wounds on the planet, hesitated slightly, and finally decided, "I’ll go down and take a look; you stand guard from a distance."
Nalan Wushuang worriedly said, "Will you be very dangerous alone? How about together?"
Lin Chen replied, "This Divine Soul Attack affects groups; four people and one person make no difference, besides, I’m just going to scout. His angry Divine Soul Attack didn’t kill me, so it likely can’t instantly finish me off."
"If anything feels off, I’ll teleport back to a safe area, so you all stay farther away."
Lin Chen gazed intently at the dark abyss, "Let me see what kind of weird creature this is!"
