My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Chapter 394: Execution!
 

On the other side, after Old Turtle dove into the dark deep sea, an unprecedented bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped him.

This wasn’t the normal temperature of the seawater, but a kind of evil and ominous aura that made even him, a member of the Sea Race, feel a chill in his heart.

“This feeling… isn’t right!”

Old Turtle’s mind was heavily alarmed.

Although he hadn’t broken through to the Totem Level, after days of cultivating in Gu Xing’s Law field, his understanding of the Water Law had advanced further, bringing his strength infinitely close to the Totem Level.

Yet even so, in this sea where he had lived for hundreds of years…

He felt a mortal threat.

“Could it be… that Master Gu Xing’s guess is true?”

“Is there really an unknown terrifying existence lurking in the depths of the South Sea?”

His heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

The Sea Race had evacuated just a few months ago, and this place had been occupied by the Demon Race prior to that. How could such a powerful creature suddenly appear out of thin air?

Just as he focused intently on his exploration, a sudden wave of strong energy fluctuation came from the dim seawater ahead!

Old Turtle’s heart sank as he concealed his aura and cautiously moved towards the source of the fluctuation.

However, when he passed through a dense forest of giant seaweed and saw the scene ahead, a chill instantly shot up from his tailbone to his crown!

In the deep sea trench ahead, a gigantic octopus, so immense it defied imagination, was quietly suspended there!

Its body resembled an undersea mountain range, with twisted, glowing patterns covering its surface.

Several tentacles, each as thick as a giant python, moved slowly, stirring the surrounding seawater.

The most horrifying of all were its wheel-sized green compound eyes, coldly and emotionlessly locking onto him!

“Run!”

This thought exploded in Old Turtle’s mind like a reflex!

In the face of such a vast and oppressive fierce beast, he couldn’t summon even the slightest courage to resist!

This was definitely a Totem Level existence!

Without hesitation, he instantly pushed the Water Law to its extreme, and his body, like an arrow from a bow, darted madly toward the sea surface!

The decision proved to save his life!

Just as he turned, a gigantic water arrow, formed from highly compressed seawater and exuding a chilling aura, silently pierced through the place he had just been!

I ts speed was astonishing!

Had he reacted just a moment slower, he would have been impaled!

“Totem Tier Three!”

Old Turtle was horrified as he desperately swam upward, “Since when did the Sea Race’s old grounds become home to such a monster?!”

Luckily, the gigantic octopus seemed to dismiss him as a mere “little turtle”, and after emitting a low and scornful spirit wave, it did not pursue him.

Its main focus seemed to remain on the surface.

“Just an old turtle; it won’t affect Lord Magic Whale’s plans.”

The octopus fierce beast’s thought echoed in the deep sea.

It was more concerned about the ship on the surface—

Why could it resist its poisonous mist?

This was the foundation of its existence, but now…

It couldn’t function!

Soon.

Old Turtle stumbled back onto the ship, still shaken, his voice trembling:

“Gu… Master Gu Xing! Underwater… there’s an incredibly terrifying fierce beast underwater!”

“It’s as large as a mountain, at least Totem Tier Three! It’s the one releasing the poison mist!”

Fierce beast?

Hearing this, Gu Xing also understood the source of the dense mist.

However, as it was a fierce beast, there was no need to hold back.

But the tricky part was that the fierce beast was hidden thousands of meters underwater, its territory.

Although Liu Li and Vera were strong, their powers would be heavily restricted underwater, and they might not outpace a naturally agile sea beast. Pursuing it rashly underwater posed huge risks.

As Gu Xing pondered the strategy, Aliya, whom he was protecting in his arms, seemed to sense his dilemma.

She gently tugged at Gu Xing’s sleeve, lifting her small face:

“Brother Gu Xing, don’t worry! Aliya can help!”

Gu Xing looked down at the serious little girl in his arms, both surprised and slightly doubtful.

He had used the system to probe Aliya many times, and aside from her mysterious luck-bringing talent, hadn’t discovered any strong combat or support skills.

“Aliya, how are you planning to help brother?”

Gu Xing asked warmly, his tone encouraging, but he didn’t hold high expectations.

Aliya keenly sensed Gu Xing’s barely noticeable doubt, and her little mouth pouted while her cheeks puffed up like a bun, carrying a hint of grievance:

“Brother Gu Xing! You don’t believe in Aliya! Hmph!”

With that, she broke free from Gu Xing’s embrace and stood at the bow of the ship, facing the vast South Sea.

She took a deep breath, and her small form began to emit an indescribable, ancient, and majestic aura.

She slowly raised her arms, palms facing the sea, and softly sang an ethereal and distant tune.

The song seemed to resonate with the entire ocean!

The next moment, an awe-inspiring scene unfolded for everyone!

Centered on the small boat, the vast South Sea ahead seemed as if an invisible divine giant hand split it down the middle!

The seawater roared and retreated to both sides, forming two towering water walls hundreds of meters high!

A wide, direct path to the sea floor was unexpectedly revealed before everyone’s eyes!

Sunlight penetrated unobstructed into this forgotten seabed for the first time, illuminating the scenes below…

Ruined palaces, collapsed ceremonial columns, broken coral gardens…

The glorious ruins of the erstwhile capital of the Sea Race were thoroughly exposed to the light of day!

“This… this is…”

Gu Xing stared at the power that parted the sea, his eyes filled with shock.

Beside him, Old Turtle hurriedly explained:

“I almost forgot! Princess can temporarily command the seawater of the entire South Sea through the power of the mermaids.”

“This is the talent of the Mermaid Race!”

Upon hearing the explanation, Gu Xing’s eyes lit up, and he immediately praised Aliya.

With the retreat of the seawater, the giant octopus fierce beast, which had been hiding in the deep sea and thought itself safe, was completely exposed!

Its mountainous body lay awkwardly on the dry sea bed, appearing somewhat comical.

It clearly hadn’t anticipated this turn of events, and its green compound eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

“That’s it!” Old Turtle shouted, pointing at the octopus fierce beast.

Gu Xing’s gaze turned cold, murder intent rising:

“Liu Li, Vera! Take action, make it quick!”

“Yes, Master!”

Vera was the first to act, with emerald green vines instantly binding the struggling octopus fierce beast tightly!

Meanwhile, Liu Li had already leapt into the air, the Destruction Law converging in her hand into a vast crimson sword that spanned between heaven and earth!

The sword burned with flames that incinerated all things, emanating a terrifying pressure that distorted the space around it!

The octopus fierce beast sensed a mortal threat and tried to plead for mercy.

But Liu Li’s sword didn’t hesitate!

“Slash!”

The Sword of Destruction descended like divine punishment from the nine heavens, carrying the will to judge all things, and struck fiercely!

“Boom——!!!!!”

The colossal sound shook the sky and sea!

Destructive energy erupted, and in the face of the extreme Destruction Law, the mighty body of the Tier Three octopus fierce beast was effortlessly cleaved in two as if it were nothing more than a fragile sand sculpture!

The battle began and ended in just a few moments.

Gu Xing calmly observed the entire process.

This octopus fierce beast truly had the power of a Tier Three Totem, but its strengths lay in concealment, poison mist, and deep-sea combat.

Once stripped of the protection of the seawater, exposed to the sunlight, and prematurely bound by Vera, being instantly killed by Liu Li made sense.

And at this moment, Gu Xing had a measure of Liu Li and Vera’s strength.

Both Guardian Beasts’ strengths far exceeded Tier Three Totem!

The question was, could they reach the Tier Five Totem level!
