Chapter 1059: Ancient Sea Seabed Battles.h.i.+p
An Lin was struck by a rush of dizziness.
In the next instant, a blue marine world appeared before his eyes.
Boundless water pressure compressed down upon them, only to be kept at bay by a blue barrier of light unleashed by Lan Xiaoni.
An Lin surveyed his surroundings to find that the ground was pitch black, but there were all manners of glowing plants growing on it, lighting up the entire seabed world.
All types of strange-looking mutant beasts swam around them, and a dangerous light exuded from their crimson eyes as they unleashed their powerful auras without reservation.
They were originally just floating slowly through the area, but they all came to an instant halt upon seeing An Lin before opening their cavernous mouths and swimming toward him! It was as if all of them were conditioned to destroy any alien living beings.
“These pieces of trash dare to attack me?” An Lin pulled out his Evil-Slaying Sword and unleashed a series of powerful sword projections, which instantly reduced these marine mutant beasts to sas.h.i.+mi.
Blood stained the entire ocean around them red, and the scent of it proliferated to attract even more marine mutant beasts.
There seemed to be no end to them as they pounced toward An Lin, among which there was no lack of Soul Formation Stage soul beasts.
An Lin and Lan Xiaoni continued onward. They were like a meat grinder, tearing any monsters that dared to approach them into countless shreds.
They traveled toward the center of the continent.
An Lin was getting quite annoyed by these monsters. That wasn’t to say that these marine mutant beasts were extremely powerful; it was just that there were simply too many of them, and he had been attacking this entire time. Anyone would be getting a little annoyed if they had to continuously wave their sword for this long.
Lan Xiaoni’s beautiful features were pale from fear. If An Lin weren’t here and she had to face all of these mutant beasts alone, she would probably be food in their bellies before too long.
“Roar!” A series of marine mutant beasts pounced toward An Lin one after another, some of which were even unleas.h.i.+ng powerful marine spell techniques like blades of water, powerful vortex, and lethal poison attacks, keeping An Lin constantly on his toes.
An Lin continued to forge ahead with brute strength, slicing through any attacks with his sword.
“That’s strange. Haven’t we already accessed all of the treasure mystic realms? Is this Heavenly Turtle Seabed h.e.l.l another mystic realm that holds other treasures?” An Lin mused as he battled.
“Hmm… This could also be a trial we have to undertake after obtaining the tribal secrets. Even though we’ve obtained the secrets, we still have to fight these enemies to prove our strength. Perhaps it’s like a buy one get one free deal?” Lan Xiaoni speculated with a thoughtful expression.
The veins on An Lin’s head bulged. Buy one get one free my *ss!
“Come to think of it, Tian Chenji is trying to use the power of this trial to kill us, right? But these mutant beasts don’t have a chance in h.e.l.l at killing me!” A cold smile appeared on An Lin’s face.
He could sense that these marine mutant beasts had all of the latent potentials within their bodies activated and were much more powerful than they normally were. However, they would only be a threat to someone like Lan Xiaoni. To him, cleaning them up was like eating breakfast.
“Hmph! Big Boss An Lin is the best! How could Tian Chenji have the foresight to predict your strength? All of these monsters are just here to keep your sword sharp!” Lan Xiaoni praised him in an extremely natural way.
Underling Lan’s cheerleading skills were getting more and more proficient, and An Lin was quite pleased to receive praise like this as it was nothing but the truth.
“Howl…!”
A Dragon Poison Whale over ten thousand feet in length let loose an anguished wail as it was sliced in half by An Lin’s sword.
From between the two halves of the whale’s ma.s.sive body, An Lin could see that there was a strange s.h.i.+p up ahead.
The s.h.i.+p was absolutely ma.s.sive, as if it were a gargantuan beast lurking on the seabed.
From a visual approximation, just its length alone would be over fifty kilometers, and it stretched as far as the eyes could see. Just the astonis.h.i.+ng ma.s.s of the s.h.i.+p gave him a vast sense of pressure.
The exterior of the s.h.i.+p was entirely constructed from bronze-colored metal, and a series of huge, inky-black cannon barrels protruded from within, each of which had a diameter of over a kilometer, presenting an extremely fearsome sight.
There was no mistaking it. This was an extremely terrifying battles.h.i.+p.
However, it was riddled with countless ma.s.sive holes, and its surface had cracked open in many locations. There was also a huge gash several dozen kilometers in length running across the entire battles.h.i.+p, further accentuating how dilapidated and beaten it was.
There were many glowing marine plants of all types of different colors on the surface of the s.h.i.+p, and their roots had been intertwined with its alloy surface to give this dilapidated battles.h.i.+p an enchanting, dreamy quality.
“This s.h.i.+p is so beautiful!” Lan Xiaoni exclaimed in amazement.
An Lin nodded. “In places like this, the more beautiful something is, the more cautious we have to be when approaching it.”
“Then, should we go in?”
Lan Xiaoni withdrew slightly upon hearing An Lin’s words, and she was beginning to chicken out again.
“Of course we should. We won’t be able to get out of here until we kill the core monster. We can only escape from this mystic realm by triggering its ejection mechanism.”
An Lin heaved a resigned sigh as he spoke.
Lan Xiaoni nodded upon hearing this, and she gripped her white ball in her hand as she carefully trailed along behind An Lin.
As for her second trump card, the little blue fish, she had already sacrificed it to save An Lin. If she wanted to reactivate it, she would require the a.s.sistance of High Priest Yu Feiyu to revitalize its soul.
The two of them continued on toward the s.h.i.+p.
All of the sea monsters attacking An Lin in a crazed frenzy suddenly stopped as they drew closer to the s.h.i.+p, as if something extremely terrifying lurked within, striking fear into their hearts and making them reluctant to draw any closer.
An Lin became even more cautious upon seeing this.
The closer he drew to the battles.h.i.+p, the more insignificant and tiny he felt.
The two of them arrived at the opening of a cannon barrel first.
“This cannon barrel is ma.s.sive! I reckon it can probably raze an entire island to the ground with a single blast!” An Lin clicked his tongue in wonder as he stared into the inky-black depths of the barrel.
“Big Boss An Lin, are we too close to the opening of the barrel? What if it suddenly attacks us with a cannon blast?” Lan Xiaoni was struck by a sense of fear just by looking at the ma.s.sive cannon barrel.
It was over a kilometer in diameter, and its interior was too dark for them to be able to see anything.
“Haha! A cannon blast?” An Lin burst into laughter, and he flicked Lan Xiaoni’s smooth forehead. “This huge battles.h.i.+p has been here for G.o.d knows how many years, and it’s already so dilapidated. It’s only visually frightening, but it’s definitely inoperable now.”
An Lin turned to Lan Xiaoni with an amused expression.
However, Lan Xiaoni was staring blankly up ahead as she patted An Lin’s shoulder. “Big Boss An Lin, look! The opening of the cannon barrel seems to be glowing…”
An Lin turned to look.
At this moment, the inky-black opening of the cannon barrel was exuding light as bright as the sun.
An Lin: “…”
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
A gargantuan pillar of golden energy erupted as boundless scorching energy swept forth, melting all of the nearby sea monsters.
The light of annihilation lit up the entire seabed like the dawn sun emerging over the night sky.
A ma.s.sive mushroom cloud exploded into the sky, presenting a unique spectacle on this seabed continent…
