109: Deep Sea Battle

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, once again injecting a massive amount of Source Power into the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon.

At the same time, another thought flashed through his mind.

“If the Light Falcon doesn’t work, then…”

He turned his gaze to another source card.

Maybe he could try it!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul’s heaven-defying turtle shell, if it gave him a shield, might be able to withstand the impact.

He must summon it the moment he hits the sea surface!

Lu Yuan forced himself to calm down, calculating his falling speed and distance.

Forget it, he didn’t study math well, he didn’t know anything, it was all by feel.

He was genuinely nervous now; the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon flapped its wings desperately, lightning flashing around its body, barely reducing its falling speed to a controllable range.

The wind grew louder in his ears, and the waves of the sea grew closer.

He could even see the white spray splashing on the sea surface.

“Now!”

“Raging Waves Sea Soul!”

gold light erupted beneath him again!

Vast water-element Source Power instantly filled the surrounding space.

A colossal turtle phantom, immense in size, condensed beneath Lu Yuan!

Its turtle shell, like an island, brought a profound sense of security!

The moment the giant turtle appeared, Lu Yuan landed precisely on its turtle shell.

“Boom!”

A loud bang.

The giant turtle’s massive body, carrying Lu Yuan, smashed into the vast sea like a meteorite!

Huge splashes of water shot skyward, reaching a hundred meters high!

A massive depression was created in the sea surface.

Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, small fish and shrimp, were launched out!

At the same time, a massive amount of seawater instantly engulfed Lu Yuan!

He felt a huge impact force coming from below; it was the recoil the giant turtle endured when it entered the water.

Although the Raging Waves Sea Soul was a king in the water, such a high-altitude fall (Lu Yuan’s own inertia) also caused it a considerable impact.

But it was, after all, a gold source card, and its defense and vitality far exceeded imagination.

In the seawater, the Raging Waves Sea Soul seemed to return to its home ground.

Completely opposite to the Light Falcon!

Never before had it been so happy as it was now.

Not only was it not suppressed by the Secret Realm’s rules, but the moment it touched the seawater, it even received a slight boost!

Its massive limbs paddled in the water, and its body slowly sank, carrying Lu Yuan beneath the sea surface.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes in the water, salty and astringent; his vision was obstructed by the turbid seawater.

He felt the surrounding water pressure and the unknown aura surging in the seawater.

He circulated Source Power, forming a protective shield on his body surface, isolating the seawater.

At the same time, his combat suit automatically contracted, covering his head and providing oxygen.

Don’t say it was a loss to buy it for ten million; this was the value of high technology!

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon had been recalled to its card form before hitting the water, now lying quietly in his card slot.

The Raging Waves Sea Soul was having too much fun; since its master didn’t urge it, it kept diving deeper with him into the seawater.

From time to time, it would spit out a string of bubbles, splashing onto Lu Yuan’s face and bouncing him away.

It was pitch dark all around, with only occasional glowing creatures and distant low roars, indicating that this sea area was not desolate.

Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to surface.

He needed time to adapt to this new environment and determine his position.

He tried to sense the aura of the other Yao Family members again, but still found nothing.

Clearly, he had been teleported to a place extremely far from everyone else.

This was both bad news and good news.

The bad news was that he had temporarily lost the support of his allies.

The good news was that the Zhou Family’s malice would not arrive, at least not in the short term.

Lu Yuan sat on the Raging Waves Sea Soul’s turtle shell, rapidly planning his next moves in his mind.

He had to find land as soon as possible, or at least a place to rest his feet.

At the same time, he needed to explore this sea area, looking for possible resources and clues.

Suddenly, the distant low roars became more frequent and closer.

Sea beasts?

Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and with a thought, he issued an order to the Raging Waves Sea Soul.

The giant turtle’s massive body turned in the seawater, swimming towards the direction from which the roars came… As the Raging Waves Sea Soul delved deeper, the surrounding seawater grew darker, and the water pressure increased accordingly.

The distant low roars became clearer, mixed with pain and ferocity.

Lu Yuan was somewhat curious; perhaps it was injured.

As the distance closed, a huge, distorted figure emerged in the seawater.

It was a sea monster comparable in size to a small reef.

Roughly half the size of the turtle.

It looked like a mutated combination of a megalodon and an octopus.

It had a hideous, fanged maw, and countless thick tentacles writhed like mad pythons.

However, the sea monster’s current state was extremely bizarre.

Its body was entangled with nearly transparent energy chains; these chains were not physical, yet they tightly bound its body, preventing it from moving freely.

Every time the chains tightened, the sea monster let out a more agonizing howl, and the aura emanating from its body surged by a notch.

“Rule-bound…”

Lu Yuan’s heart sank.

So this was what Secret Realm rule-binding looked like.

What a sight… The sea monster’s strength was being forcibly enhanced, but this process was an extreme torment for it.

In just a short moment, the energy fluctuations emanating from the sea monster had already skyrocketed from late third-tier to peak third-tier.

And it was still rising, showing a faint trend towards advancing to the fourth-tier!

This should be the so-called effect of rule-binding on creatures, but he didn’t know if it would turn into a Source Power beast or a card then.

The sea monster’s huge eyeballs struggled in the seawater; when it noticed the massive Raging Waves Sea Soul, it seemed to find a target to vent its pain.

“Roar—!”

A deafening roar exploded in the seawater; the powerful sound waves even caused the surrounding seawater to vibrate.

Lu Yuan felt a bit of ringing in his ears; the dog-thing launched a surprise attack!

The sea monster struggled violently, its massive body breaking through the seawater, aiming directly at the Raging Waves Sea Soul!

“Oh, you’re giving a big gift as soon as I enter?”

Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed, without the slightest panic.

He quickly assessed the strength of friend and foe.

Although this sea monster’s aura was ferocious and its strength was increasing, being bound by the rule chains severely limited its movement.

And his Raging Waves Sea Soul was incredibly comfortable in the water, with a slight boost in strength.

“Little Turtle, easy win!”

Lu Yuan sent a thought to the giant turtle, commanding the Raging Waves Sea Soul.

“Tidal Turtle Shell, a shield first!”

The Raging Waves Sea Soul understood perfectly; its massive turtle shell instantly lit up with dazzling blue light.

A vast water-element Source Power surged from its body, forming a thick, flowing blue water curtain shield on its surface.

Lu Yuan also had it.

Tidal Turtle Shell!

This water curtain shield not only possessed astonishing defensive power but could also draw in surrounding seawater to form tidal force, enhancing defense and hindering opponents!

The sea monster’s countless tentacles unleashed their power, striking fiercely at the Raging Waves Sea Soul with great force.

“Slap! Slap! Slap!”

Dense strikes landed on the surging water curtain of the Tidal Turtle Shell, emitting dull thuds.

Each impact stirred up huge waves, but the water curtain shield remained motionless, blocking all of the sea monster’s furious attacks.

The force on the tentacles was dissipated layer by layer by the water curtain, unable to harm the giant turtle in the slightest.

The sea monster seemed not to have expected the opponent’s defense to be so solid, letting out an unwilling hiss.

“Now!”

“Spiral Thorns!”

In the water, the Spiral Thorns skill was infinitely magnified.

The Raging Waves Sea Soul let out a low roar.

It didn’t even need to condense water elements itself.

The boundless ocean around it was its strongest backing!

Vast water-element Source Power erupted from the giant turtle’s body, instantly stirring up the surrounding seawater.

In the seawater, countless spiral-shaped ice-blue thorns condensed out of thin air!

They seemed to be guided by something, whistling through the water, as spectacular as ten thousand arrows firing at once!

The thorns were dense and innumerable!

They shot towards the sea monster from all directions!
