Chapter 1077: Heart
Chen Rui was shocked. He had experienced the battle in Mountain Xilang and knew exactly what this ‘Water Shadow Pearl’ meant to Lambost.
The elemental heart was the core of the Elemental King, which was equivalent to the human heart. Once the elemental heart was broken, even the powerful Elemental King would be completely annihilated within 7 days.
Although the Elemental King of this main plane would not really die, it would take tens of thousands of years or even longer to recreate the Water Elemental King.
From the moment Lambost accompanied him to the Crimson Double Teeth Sea Area, Chen Rui had regarded the Water Elemental King as a true friend in his mind. Since Lambost deliberately activated some kind of s.h.i.+elding power, he never knew that the ‘Water Shadow Pearl’ was the water elemental heart.
At the moment of being engulfed by the vortex transformed by Dillosro, Chen Rui wrapped by [Star Guardian Wings] finally completely resolved Adeline’s blood coc.o.o.n and successfully brought the naga girl into the Tower of Glory. Under absolute power, there was no fluke. In fact, even without Adeline, he must also face this real test.
Immediately afterward, he was ‘greeted’ by a terrifying battle with endless devour, endless eruptions, endless despair, and endless splitting of souls… He almost exhausted all his strength. Until now, he couldn’t describe the battle situation just now. He just remembered that when he almost collapsed several times, he was relying completely on the power of the ‘Water Shadow Pearl’ to protect his last bit of consciousness.
In this life-or-death moment when the soul was on the verge of dissipating, many feelings were gone, and only instinct remained.
Driven by instinct, the previously failed idea of trying to use the power of constellations to construct a killing move actually became clear. The guidance of the ‘Water Shadow Pearl’ also played a key role. The galaxy power that combined the power of constellations gushed out like the rush of the sea, becoming the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Dillosro was like a balloon that was about to burst. Chen Rui’s fatal move finally burst him. Although Satan’s reaction was fast, he was still half a beat slower than Chen Rui, becoming the loser of the betting agreement.
In all fairness, Satan’s strength was indeed higher than Dillosro’s avatar, but it was not that he was saving his ultimate move, but because the main altar’s protective power was there previously. Even with all his strength, he couldn’t really destroy Dillosro’s body – Even the 2 blows of [Collapse Extermination] and [Cut] that cut off Dillosro’s arm were both opportunities seized after Chen Rui entered into Dillosro’s body.
Satan’s contempt for Chen Rui was also 1 of the reasons for his failure. No wonder he had this mentality, because he had absolute strength. Chen Rui could match neither Satan nor Dillosro. However, it was this underestimated little character who became the ultimate victor. If it wasn’t for the explosion of Chen Rui in Dillosro, causing the protective bone armor to completely collapse due to the absorption of indigestible power, Satan’s [Blasphemy Sin] would also be unable to kill Dillosro in 1 hit.
Chen Rui was inconceivably able to defeat and kill Dillosro with weaker strength. It could be said that the ‘Water Shadow Pearl’, also known as the Water Elemental King Lambost, played a major role, but now this water elemental heart had actually cracked!
Chen Rui tenuously channeled his strength and floated on the sea. The light flickered, and he had released the Water Elemental King and others from the s.p.a.ce of the Tower of Glory.
“It seems that Dillosro’s avatar and main altar have been annihilated…” The Water Shadow Pearl actually cracked long ago. From that moment on, Lambost in the Tower of Glory had been unable to perceive the outside world. It was not until he came out that he sensed that the surrounding water element had returned to normal.
As Lambost spoke, the elemental heart turned into a blue light and sank into his body, then the sea under everyone’s feet began to freeze rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, an iceland with a radius of about 50 meters with Lambost as the center appeared in the vision. Lambost’s body also slowly froze starting from his feet, and the solidification spread upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although he didn’t understand what this change represented, Chen Rui clearly sensed that Lambost’s breath was rapidly weakening. He was both sad and anxious, but his injuries were already critical. He felt dizzy as blood oozed from his facial features again.
Lambost said indifferently, “The injury to your soul is so severe that even the power of the Creation Vessel cannot…”
“I’m not dead yet.” Chen Rui suppressed the wound and stared into Lambost’s eyes, “But you are going to die. Even if the annihilation of element is just a form of energy conversion, the Lambost I know will cease to exist. “
“It never occurred to me that someone would feel sad for my existence.” Lambost shook his head, “You don’t have to feel sorry. In fact, it’s not directly related to you. Any Elemental King, in the face of enemies like ‘them’, will make the same choice as me.
“Lambost…” Chen Rui suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly took out a handful of strange fruits from the storage warehouse, “I once helped Moore repair the earth elemental heart. Now I still have requiem fruit and earth source! Will this help your elemental heart recover?”
“Requiem fruit?” Lambost showed a surprised expression, “I didn’t expect you to have such a thing. What’s even more unexpected is that you helped Moore repair the elemental heart. No wonder you have such a deep friends.h.i.+p with him. I can imagine that it took a lot of effort for you to get these 2. However, the reason I gave you the elemental heart before was just to use you to seal…”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Chen Rui yelled and interrupted Lambost unceremoniously, but due to the wound on his body, he gritted his teeth in pain, “I just want to know if these 2 things are useful to you?”
“Although I’m skeptical and ‘hypocritical’ as you said, I don’t want to annihilate like this.” This tone made Lambost laugh. The requiem fruit automatically left Chen Rui’s hand, turned into a stream of juice, and seeped into this small iceland, “The requiem fruit is no doubt magical. In my elemental heart, the soul that is about to dissipate has begun to reunite. But I’m not the Earth Elemental King, so the Earth Source has no effect on me. I need a liquid called the ‘Phantom Ice Spring, then only I can mend the cracks in the elemental heart. Unfortunately, I don’t know where the Phantom Ice Spring is.”
“As long as it exists in this world, there must be a way to find it. If you use requiem fruit alone, how long can you hold on?”
“According to the time, Moore’s elemental heart rupture should be when he came to the Deep Blue Palace to accept the ‘earth imprint’. Before that, he couldn’t even sense the water origin fragment. Or I should say that he was only the Earth Elemental King at that time, not the Earth Elemental Messenger, so he can’t activate many abilities. As for my current situation… The effect of the requiem fruit just now is obvious. If you can also activate the healing power of the ultimate light element last time, in this sea that is extremely rich with water elements, I can survive for about 5 years.”
Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Although 5 years was not a long time, at least now Lambost would not be in danger of annihilation.
The Crown of Thorns immediately appeared on his head as he activated [Divine Healing]. Under the influence of [Divine Healing], Lambost’s declining breath gradually stabilized. Not only the injuries of Lambost and Chen Rui, even Lalaria, Helen, and Adeline also quickly recovered.
“Lambost, within 5 years, I will definitely meet you here with the Phantom Ice Spring.”
Lambost saw the firmness contained in this sentence. Contrary to the previous words, he just looked at Chen Rui silently, letting the freezing gradually cover his head. The light of his eyes gradually extinguished, turning into a complete ice sculpture.
At this time, the light of [Divine Healing] also disappeared. Chen Rui suddenly felt a strong dizziness as if his nearly broken soul was about to come out of his body.
Although the power of the Crown of Thorns was very strong, it still had its own limit. [Divine Healing] was not omnipotent. This time, Chen Rui’s wounds were so severe. The external wounds were secondary as they were completely stabilized under the action of the [Divine Healing]. It was only a matter of time before he recovered fully.
However, the serious damage suffered by the soul exceeded the extent of [Divine Healing]’s treatment. In the end, he fought completely head-on in the s.p.a.ce within Dillosro’s body on the verge of life and death. No one knew how many times he suffered soul shatter’s terrifying impact. If not for the protection of the water elemental heart, it was almost impossible for him to pull through.
Now that he had won after a hard battle and stabilized Lambost’s situation, his nerves that had been tense had finally relaxed.
With this relaxation, the will to persevere under the heavy pressure immediately loses the motivation to hold on. He could no longer persevere and fell down in the 3 women’s exclamations.
Lalaria’s strength was the strongest. After the treatment of [Divine Healing], her injuries had basically recovered, but her physical strength and spirit power had not recovered. Her reaction was extremely fast. She instantly appeared in front of Chen Rui to catch his fallen body. As the current form of the flat-chested loli was too short, she could only carry him and slowly lay him down on the ground.
“This guy has pa.s.sed out, but… he doesn’t seem to be doing well.” Lalaria frowned.
“I’ll take a look.” Adeline hurried over and put both hands on Chen Rui’s temple as she started to sense. The naga girl was born with a very keen perception talent, especially after obtaining the magic power of the mirage, her perception of the soul had been improved to a higher level.
After a moment of sensing, Adeline’s facial expression changed, “Oh no, his soul is on the verge of collapse. Lalaria, find a way to save him!”
“I have no choice but to take him to Dragon Island to see if father can do anything, but Dragon Island is far away from here. I’m afraid he won’t last until then.
Adeline was shocked while covering her face and crying, “It’s all my fault. If he didn’t save me…”
“It’s not just you…” Lalaria thought of the situation in which Chen Rui sacrificed his life to save her and Helen, and her emotions were a little complicated, “I also owe him a life.”
Helen had been silent. She was just looking at the sky as if recalling something. In her golden eyes, there was a trace of tenderness.
“Such a lousy man…” The little mermaid princess finally sighed and slowly came to Chen Rui’s side.
Her melodious and moving singing sounded, and the little golden crystal on the little mermaid princess’ forehead began to flash with dazzling brilliance, illuminating the eyes of Lalaria and Adeline.
Adeline, who was also from the sea creature tribe, suddenly thought of the ‘thing’ that the siren tribe cherished most. 2 words came to her mind.
