413: Mysterious Lightning

In the center of the pitch-black Sea Eye in the Bermuda Triangle.

A massive tentacle emerged from the depths of the vortex, blotting out the sky.

Countless eerie eyeballs spun frantically on the surface of the tentacle, each one reflecting the figures of Fang Yuan and Frieren, radiating a malice that made one's Divine Soul tremble.

This aura absolutely surpassed the Body Integration Stage!

"Watch out!"

Fang Yuan roared, and lightning erupted from his entire body!

"Armor of the Thunder God!"

"Black Tortoise Shield!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed all his trump card defensive measures.

A purple lightning armor covered his entire body, and a thick light shield engraved with a Black Tortoise totem blocked the path in front of them.

However, it was useless.

Boom!!!

The massive tentacle pressed down gently.

It was just like swatting a fly.

Crack!

The indestructible Black Tortoise Shield didn't even last a second; it was covered in spiderweb-like cracks before shattering with a roar.

Immediately after, the Armor of the Thunder God also let out a groan of overwhelming burden and disintegrated inch by inch.

Pfft!

Fang Yuan spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his entire body, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward, carrying Frieren with him.

He felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, and his bones were about to fall apart.

"Cough, cough..."

Fang Yuan struggled to steady himself, looking at the tentacle slowly retracting in preparation for another attack, his heart turning cold.

He couldn't win.

He absolutely couldn't win.

This was not an opponent on the same level at all!

"Hum—"

Just then, the space around the Sea Eye distorted, and an invisible barrier completely sealed off this area of the sea.

Their retreat was cut off!

The ancient evil Deity hiding in the depths of the Sea Eye clearly had no intention of giving them any chance to escape.

Following that, the thousands of eyeballs on the tentacle lit up with a scarlet light at the same time.

Beams of dark red light, imbued with the Law of Death and Decay, wove together into an inescapable net, shrouding the two of them!

"Fang Yuan! You must leave!"

Frieren's pale face was full of determination.

She suddenly pushed Fang Yuan away and blocked in front of him.

"Divine Protection!"

Inside the young girl's body, the Bloodline belonging to the Ancient Deities began to burn crazily!

A brilliant golden light erupted from within her, forming a massive light shield that protected both her and Fang Yuan inside.

The dark red death rays struck the light shield, emitting a sizzling sound of corrosion. The light shield flickered violently, and it was clear it wouldn't hold much longer.

Golden blood also spilled from the corner of Frieren's mouth.

She looked back at Fang Yuan, her azure blue eyes filled with anxiety.

"My Bloodline Power can hold for a while! Find a way to leave here quickly! You are the Chief Disciple of Kunlun Academy; you cannot die here!"

Fang Yuan looked at the petite figure blocking in front of him, then at the golden blood at the corner of her mouth, his eyes becoming incredibly complex.

Leave his companion and escape on his own?

He couldn't do it!

"I, Fang Yuan, Chief Disciple of the Magic Cultivation Department at Kunlun Cultivation Academy."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly straightened his body, and pulled Frieren behind him.

"Students of our Kunlun Academy have never been cowards who abandon their companions to flee for their own lives!"

"If we go, we go together! If we die, we die together!"

His tone was incredibly calm, yet carried an unquestionable resolve.

Frieren was stunned, staring blankly at his broad back.

Fang Yuan looked up at the terrifying tentacle raising itself once more, a flash of madness crossing his eyes.

"Since you want to play, then I will play with you to the end!"

He took a deep breath, and his hands began to form an incredibly complex and profound Dharma seal.

"Golden Core Origin, burn!"

Boom!

A terrifying aura soared into the sky from Fang Yuan's body!

His round and flawless Golden Core, at this moment, was like a burning star, igniting with purple-black flames!

As the Golden Core Origin burned, Fang Yuan's aura began to skyrocket crazily!

Early Golden Core Stage!

Middle Stage Golden Core Stage!

Late Golden Core Stage!

Golden Core Great Perfection!

Finally, his aura even faintly touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage!

This was the supreme power exchanged at the cost of burning his own Dao foundation!

The sky changed color.

Vast swathes of purple-black tribulation clouds gathered from all directions, shrouding the entire Bermuda Triangle.

Within the tribulation clouds, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

"Come!"

Fang Yuan reached out toward the sky and let out a roar.

Boom!

A bucket-thick purple-black tribulation lightning descended from the sky, and he grabbed it in his hand!

The whole world was trembling because of this power.

In the depths of the Sea Eye, that ancient evil Deity seemed to have been enraged by this power.

A roar, unlike anything any living creature could emit, came from the vortex.

That massive tentacle, carrying the power to crush everything, smashed fiercely toward the purple-black tribulation clouds in the sky!

It wanted to crush Fang Yuan, along with those tribulation clouds, into powder!

Looking at the tentacle that was constantly enlarging in his field of vision, the power Fang Yuan had gained by burning his Golden Core still seemed so insignificant before the opponent.

He knew he had lost.

He gave a wry smile and looked back at Frieren behind him.

"I'm sorry, it seems I can't take you back."

Frieren shook her head, tears streaming from her eyes.

Just as Fang Yuan was preparing to detonate all his power for one final struggle.

A sudden change occurred!

In the deepest part of the Sea Eye vortex, a streak of extreme golden light lit up without warning.

That light was domineering and ancient, as if it stood above all things.

Wherever the golden light passed, that arrogant massive tentacle was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun; it began to melt and decompose silently from the tip!

It couldn't even put up the slightest resistance!

In just a single breath of time, that terrifying tentacle, a thousand meters long, was completely devoured by the golden light, vanishing without a trace.

Immediately after, the golden light engulfed Fang Yuan and Frieren, who were still in shock.

A sigh, as if coming from eons ago, resounded between heaven and earth.

"Sigh, you ruffians from beyond the realm..."

When the golden light slowly subsided.

From within the Sea Eye came the painful roar of the ancient evil Deity, filled with shock and rage.

And in mid-air, the figures of Fang Yuan and Frieren had long since vanished.
