Chapter 353: The Whale
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The Harvester.”
The Desolate Demon Lord had said.
But obviously, Huang Ti was not really asking.
He was just afraid and desperate.
Therefore, he used words to disperse the panic and helplessness in the depths of his heart.
He did not care if they were harvesters or not.
Now, the only thing he cared about was how to escape alive from this situation.
But he could not escape.
His divine core had shattered, and the source power of his gold and silver patterns was destroyed. Although Huang Ti was still powerful, relying on the power of the blood patterns… the monstrous creature in the depths below was even more terrifying!
‘Buzz!’
A black shadow instantly tore through the space and appeared in front of Huang Ti.
Huang Ti could only vaguely see numerous fist-sized eyeballs. The tremendous constriction enveloped him entirely!
There was a “whoosh” sound.
That black shadow, carrying Huang Ti, disappeared without a trace.
From the deep darkness beneath the feet of the Desolate Demon Lord, desperate roars and the sound of fists and feet clashing echoed.
“It’s useless… 3,765 blood patterns are not enough to let you escape from the whale harvester.”
After making such an evaluation, the Desolate Demon Lord stood still.
After a long time, the sounds below gradually calmed down.
The black shadow that had just taken Huang Ti away reappeared from below again.
This time, its movements were very slow. As a result, the Desolate Demon Lord saw the full appearance of this thing.
It was a tentacle resembling an octopus claw.
The tentacle was more than three meters thick, extending from below to the front of the Desolate Demon Lord, but its length was incalculable.
Its surface was densely packed with eyeballs and mouths full of sharp teeth, surrounded by dense black mist.
Without any intention of communicating with it, the Desolate Demon Lord just stood still.
Because he knew very well…
Harvesters could not communicate.
They were simply, pure killing machines.
Killing machines born to reap everything.
The tentacle extended to the side of the Desolate Demon Lord.
Countless eyeballs on the tentacle stared fixedly at the Desolate Demon Lord.
From those eyes, the Desolate Demon Lord could not see any intelligence. All he could see was the desire to kill and mechanical instincts.
Until the eyeballs turned away and stopped looking at the Desolate Demon Lord.
The tentacle began to straighten and extend upward.
The whale’s cry under his feet became more profound, as if some colossal creature was emerging from the Dead Sea.
“Wuwuwu—”
“Rumble!”
The earth shattered once again.
The boundary between the bottom of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss and the Dead Sea had finally been completely opened.
A large amount of black mist billowed and surged up, but it could not block the senses of the Desolate Demon Lord.
Therefore, he saw it again.
An endlessly long monster that looked like a whale but had tentacles all over its body, had broken free from the restraints of the Dead Sea and fluttered out from below. It seemed to be slow but was actually fast as it flew towards the entrance of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.
It took a full three minutes for this colossal whale to get past the Desolate Demon Lord from start to finish.
And during these three minutes, the Desolate Demon Lord did not dare to take a breath.
It was not until the whale flew far away that more buzzing sounds came from below.
More monsters followed closely behind the whale, crawling out of the Dead Sea.
There were grotesque giants with four legs, a thousand arms and 10,000 eyeballs.
There were human-shaped figures, clad in black armor and wielding giant scythes.
There were spherical life forms covered with tumors.
There were giant rats with heads covering their entire bodies.
It was like a bizarre monster exhibition.
The only audience was the Desolate Demon Lord.
Those monsters completely ignored the Desolate Demon Lord, passing by him one after another.
After a long time, the Desolate Demon Lord sighed deeply.
“I was forced.”
“I have no choice.”
“I’m sorry.”
“This world…”
Muttering to himself, the Desolate Demon Lord’s body trembled suddenly, and the mutated aura on its body became even stronger.
He, like those monsters, walked into the tide of monsters and was carried by the wave towards the entrance of the Devil Abyss.
Dense black smoke gushed out from the entrance of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, even dyeing the sky pitch-black.
Shu Fang and the other three Divine Spirit Realm experts of the Eternal Clan did not know what was happening at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss. However, with their instincts as the Divine Spirit Realm experts, Shu Fang and the others faintly felt a sense of impending doom.
“It seems like something’s wrong…”
One of the Divine Spirit Realm experts muttered and looked at his colleagues.
“Everyone, at the moment, we…”
“Wait,” Shu Fang interrupted, then, another person spoke, “We’re in a wartime situation now. Leaving would be considered desertion without battle… Even if Lord Huang Ti has been defeated, there’s enough time to give us the order to retreat.”
And without an order, they could not leave.
Unless they did not want to stay in the Eternal Clan anymore…
Of course, the most important reason was that although they had a bad feeling, they still trusted Huang Ti’s power.
They simply did not believe that there was a certain existence in this world that could cause Huang Ti to die without even even transmitting a message.
Theoretically, there was nothing wrong with what they considered.
However, reality and theory were always the opposite…
When a violent whale cry resounded through the heavens and the earth, time, space, and everything seemed to have been frozen!
The huge pressure made the four gods completely unable to move. They could only watch as the gigantic whale soared into the sky from the bottom of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, swaying and flying in the opposite direction!
The good news was that the Whale Harvester completely ignored Shu Fang and the other three.
But the bad news was that without the Whale Harvester, there were various other harvesters of all shapes and sizes.
And the worst news was…
Before the harvester arrived, there was the black mist that gushed out from the depths of the Devil Abyss!
The boundless black mist spread in an instant.
The moment the black mist enveloped them, Shu Fang and the other three Divine Spirit Realm experts felt their consciousness stiffening, their bodies freezing, and all senses disappearing completely.
Only a large amount of Divine Source uncontrollably seeped out of every pore. In just one second, the divinities of the four of them fell into a silent state!
They did not have the ability of Huang Ti.
When the divinity fell into a silent state, it meant that the entire person had fallen into a silent state.
The four gods fell from the sky like swallows with broken wings.
Just as they were about to fall like a dog gnawing on shit, light rippled from the Boshi Tower, enveloping them and sweeping them into the tower.
At this moment, inside Boshi Tower.
Lu Ming interrupted the divinity reconstruction experiment and slowly stood up.
“What’s going on?”
As he muttered, he saved Shu Fang and the other three.
He scanned the attribute panel from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, he discovered that his attribute panel was emitting a strange red light.
Other than the red light, there were no other changes on the attribute panel.
However, Lu Ming vaguely understood the signal the system was conveying to him.
[Danger!]
[Opportunity!]
Danger! Opportunity!
“Does it mean danger and opportunity coexist? It is referring to this black mist, right… So, what exactly is this black mist and the colossal whale that flew away just now?”
The system naturally would not provide answers to these questions.
Lu Ming looked at the faint red light and suddenly had this thought.
“Things just got complicated..”
