79: A+ level skill - Myriad Realms Severance!

"You... your Physique... just how high is it?!"

Morgue's voice trembled uncontrollably as he watched the rapidly disappearing wounds.

A chilling fear truly gripped his heart for the first time!

Beside him,

Jiang Zhenyue, standing on the turtle's back, had his sinister, smug smile completely freeze, turning into a dull, ashen blankness.

His lips quivered, "H-how could this be... he's not dead yet..."

Just then,

Su Chen's two massive compound eyes, like blood-red stars,

slowly rotated.

His icy gaze, like two tangible ice spears, instantly pinned Jiang Zhenyue!

An irresistible chill of death, originating from the depths of his soul, instantly engulfed Jiang Zhenyue!

"De-defend! Quickly retract! Full defense!!!"

Jiang Zhenyue screamed, his soul nearly leaving his body!

The Rock-Armored Spirit Turtle, this time, reacted extremely fast.

Upon hearing the command, its ugly, deformed head and three limbs rapidly retracted into its thick shell, which was hailed as "absolute defense"!

Seeing the turtle's head and four limbs instantly vanish, leaving only a rock-armored shell tightly closed like a fortress,

Jiang Zhenyue gasped, still shaken, as if clutching a life-saving straw.

Good, good. The Rock-Armored Giant Turtle was invincible as long as it retracted into its shell.

However—

One of Su Chen's main tentacles slowly rose.

The surface of the tentacle was no longer merely glowing with brute force; instead, it was covered in a layer of extremely unstable, twisted, and flickering dark energy!

The air around the tentacle groaned under the strain, and space itself seemed to be silently torn and folded like fragile glass, leaving behind subtle yet heart-stopping dark cracks!

(A+ Rank Skill — Vortex of Eternal Calamity: Myriad Realm Severance!)

The next moment,

that terrifying tentacle, covered with the power of spatial cutting, descended gently like a blade of judgment, disregarding distance and carrying the aura of laws that annihilated everything,

towards the Rock-Armored Turtle's shell, which was hailed as "absolute defense."

There was no earth-shattering collision, no roar of energy explosion.

Only a faint sound, almost imperceptible—

"Pfft—"

Like a red-hot carving knife slicing through solidified butter.

Under Jiang Zhenyue's gaze, which instantly transformed from dazed to extreme horror and disbelief,

his proud, 85th-tier Rock-Armored Spirit Turtle, built with massive resources from the Divine Sea and possessing "unparalleled defense"... along with its indestructible thick shell... silently split into two, starting from the middle!

A mirror-smooth cut surface instantly appeared!

Its internal bones, organs, and undigested sea beast flesh... seemed to be frozen for a moment by an invisible force,

before gushing out under the effect of blood pressure,

turning into a rain of blood and flesh that swept hundreds of meters around!

The 85th-tier Rock-Armored Spirit Turtle, renowned for its defense, in its strongest defensive posture,

couldn't even let out a whimper before being instantly killed by this blow that transcended physical laws!

Instantly killed!

"Rock-Armored Spirit Turtle!!! No—!!!!!!"

Jiang Zhenyue's pupils constricted to pinpricks, letting out a heart-wrenching, completely off-key scream!

His voice was filled with the despair of shattered dreams and incomprehensible absurdity!

His ambition!

His blueprint!

His foundation for world domination!

His magnum opus, which he cherished as his life!

Just like that... like a piece of tofu... casually... sliced open?!

How could this be possible?!

That turtle shell's defense... had been verified countless times!

It was invincible!

How could it... just as his mind went blank, his sanity completely overwhelmed by this devastating blow,

Su Chen's cold, emotionless giant compound eyes,

locked onto him again.

"Ah—!!!"

Jiang Zhenyue was scared out of his wits, collapsing onto the wet, sticky remains of the turtle shell, scrambling backward with his hands and feet.

Extreme fear forced a fawning smile onto his face, a million times uglier than crying,

his voice trembling beyond recognition:

"L-Lord Kraken... you... you are Divine Summer's National Guardian Beast... you... you must consider Divine Summer's future... I... I am Divine Summer's strongest Evolver... with limitless potential... I am still of great use to Divine Summer... you... you cannot kill me... you cannot..."

He knew that

the Kraken possessed intelligence and would consider Divine Summer's interests.

He tried to use his last shred of value to make a dying moral appeal.

However,

the tip of a huge, cold, suction-cupped tentacle, like the finger of death, slowly coiled around him, effortlessly lifting him off the ground.

"Strongest... Evolver?"

Su Chen's icy mental fluctuations carried undisguised mockery.

"Are you worthy?"

Then,

under Jiang Zhenyue's terrified gaze, it tightened little by little.

As for Jiang Zhenyue,

Su Chen still had some impression of him.

Similar to the Dominion of Fusang,

it was an organization that rose due to the hundred-fold increase in spiritual energy in Kunlun Mountain.

However,

Jiang Zhenyue was an out-and-out schemer,

selfish and greedy.

In his previous life,

the Kunlun Ruins, which should have been the greatest aid to the Divine Summer military,

instead forced the military to expend a great deal of effort and strength to suppress it.

"No... no no no! I was wrong! Lord Kraken! I really know I was wrong!!!"

Feeling the tentacle coiling around his body slowly exert despair-inducing pressure, Jiang Zhenyue completely broke down.

Tears and snot streamed down his face as he frantically begged for mercy,

"Forgive me! Spare my dog life! I can be your slave! I can hunt for you! I can do anything!!!"

Immense fear, like ice water poured over his head, instantly extinguished all his ambition and greed,

leaving only the most primitive, boundless terror of death!

He regretted it!

He truly regretted it!

Why did he have to oppose this monster?

Why did he have to cling to that ridiculous authority?

He could have peacefully remained Venerable Jiang,

revered by tens of thousands... but in this world, there was no medicine for regret.

"Kraken Daddy! Grandpa!! Ancestor!!! Please spare me!!! Spare..."

Pfft!

Amidst Jiang Zhenyue's inhuman, mournful wails for mercy, the immense pressure instantly exceeded his body's tolerance limit!

His eyeballs suddenly bulged out of their sockets!

Then—

Splat!

Like an over-squeezed tomato, he was instantly crushed by the terrifying tentacle's embrace!

He turned into a puddle of mushy flesh mixed with bone fragments and clothing, drizzling down onto the sea below.

The world,

fell silent.

"...A... A-rank spatial Skill?!"

On the other side, Morgue was already scared out of his wits!

He stared at Su Chen's terrifying tentacle, slowly retracting with its spatial fluctuations not yet fully dissipated, his eyes nearly popping out, his voice sharp and distorted!

He himself was a one-in-ten-thousand genius among the Shadow Scale Clan, and after arduous cultivation until now, he had only barely mastered a B-rank Talent!

And this Kraken... how many days had it been since its birth?!

It had actually awakened an A-Rank Talent?!

And it was the rarest, most terrifying spatial type?!
