464: Chapter 464 You Know How to Time It

Rain poured into the attic through the damaged roof.

Chen You looked down at the spot where Song Yixue had disappeared.

"The young people these days, their physique is too poor."

He ignored the wood shavings on the floor and formed a hand seal with one hand.

The yuhuang sword let out a crisp sword hum.

A seven-colored sword light instantly illuminated the dim attic.

Stepping on the flying sword, Chen You transformed into a long rainbow and shot up into the sky through the hole in the roof.

Cangxing Bay was shrouded in thick dark clouds, and a torrential rain poured down.

The wind was fierce and the waves were high on the sea surface.

A blue figure was sprinting across the surface of the sea.

The Star Sea King Projection's feet stepped on the waves, and every step kicked up a large spray of blue electric sparks.

He ran extremely fast, his hands swinging rhythmically at his sides as if he were keeping time for himself.

"180 BPM!"

"Extreme Speed Racing Remix!"

The Star Sea King Projection ran while providing his own soundtrack with a voice that came with built-in reverb.

Blue musical notes floated out from his body, extremely conspicuous in the rain.

Standing on the yuhuang sword, Chen You broke through the rain curtain and coldly watched the glowing moving target below.

"You even bring your own BGM while running away, just terrified that others won't know where you are, huh."

Chen You exerted force under his feet.

The +16 yuhuang sword erupted with a visible shockwave.

The distance between the two rapidly closed.

The Star Sea King Projection sensed the fatal threat behind him.

He turned his head abruptly, his single blue eye filled with terror.

"Don't come over here!"

The Star Sea King Projection let out a cracked, electronic roar.

He thrust both hands backward violently.

Two massive blue sonic blades tore through the sea surface, slashing toward Chen You in mid-air with a piercing screech.

Chen You didn't even intend to dodge.

He raised his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and pointed forward.

"Break."

A purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket shot from his fingertips.

The lightning collided with the sonic blades in mid-air.

The sound waves shattered instantly.

The purple lightning, its momentum undiminished, struck the back of the Star Sea King Projection.

"-485000!"

A huge red number floated up from the top of the Star Sea King Projection's head.

His health bar instantly bottomed out.

"Bzzt..."

The Star Sea King Projection stumbled and fell directly onto the sea surface.

The blue fluorescence on his body began to flicker wildly, and the reverb sound effect turned into a stuttering electric sound.

"Big Brother! Let's talk this out!"

The Star Sea King Projection's electronic voice completely cracked, carrying a thick, sobbing tone.

He looked at Chen You, who was blocking his path, trembling all over.

"I'll give you all the gold coins I hid in the Foggy Strait! There are several thousand!" The projection tried to buy his life with money.

Chen You raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I'd believe that? Besides, do you think I'm short on money?"

"I'm just a projection!" The Star Sea King Projection jumped in anxiety, "I don't even have a physical body, I won't drop anything good! Killing me is just a waste of your energy!"

"It's fine," Chen You said in a flat tone, "I have plenty of energy."

The Star Sea King Projection collapsed.

He pointed at Chen You, his blue eyes filled with despair: "You cultivator, can you show some martial virtue?"

"Our power systems aren't even the same, why do you have to kill me all the way!"

Chen You looked at him as if looking at a moron.

"Did you get one thing wrong?"

Chen You slowly raised his hand, and the yuhuang sword flew from under his feet into his hand.

"I am a player, and you are a monster."

Chen You's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the thunder.

"Have you ever seen a player talk about martial virtue with a monster?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen You's figure erupted.

There were no flashy sword moves, only pure speed and power.

The +16 yuhuang sword, carrying an earth-shattering momentum, transformed into a massive purple crescent sword beam and swept out.

The Star Sea King Projection didn't even have time to scream before he was cut in half at the waist by the sword beam.

"Bang!"

The health bar above his head, which was already bottomed out, instantly emptied.

He struggled to raise his right hand, pointing at the sky.

"My death is just the prelude to the main body's arrival."

"When the stars return to their positions... the wrath of the deep sea will submerge everything!"

"You will pay for your arrogance... with..."

The Star Sea King Projection's body exploded violently, turning into countless blue light spots that merged into the surging seawater below.

Chen You stood in mid-air, flicked his wrist to perform a sword flourish, and retrieved the yuhuang sword.

"That's it?"

He curled his lip.

Aside from a few hundred experience points, not even a single copper coin dropped.

Truly poor.

Just at this moment!

"Boom!"

The already thick dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled violently.

The thunder ceased, and the rain hung suspended.

An extremely oppressive aura surged from all directions, instantly shrouding the entire Star-Hidden Sea.

Chen You frowned and looked up.

He saw a huge crack suddenly open in the center of the rolling dark clouds.

Thousands of golden light spots poured down from the crack like a brilliant meteor shower, landing precisely on the sea surface where the Star Sea King Projection had just dissipated.

The seawater began to boil violently.

A black whirlpool, too huge to describe, slowly formed on the sea surface.

Immediately after, an emotionless, mechanical prompt sounded in the ears of all players logged into the Source Realm.

[World Announcement: The prisoner of the deep sea has broken free from its shackles, and the ancient shadow is about to return to the human world.]

[World Announcement: The countdown for the arrival of the mythological-grade World Boss—Star Sea King (Main Body) has begun.]

[Arrival location: Cangxing Bay.]

[Countdown: 24 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds.]

The server-wide announcement played three times in a row, with blood-red text flashing wildly in the center of the vision.

The entire Source Realm exploded into chaos instantly.

"WTF? World Boss?"

"Where did it come from? Could it be God You's handiwork again!"

"Where is Cangxing Bay? Hurry and go grab a spot!"

Chen You rubbed his chin.

"24 hours of preparation time, server-wide mobilization."

He curled his lip, "Same familiar formula, same familiar taste."

Chen You wasn't very panicked.

Fighting a mythological-grade boss is exactly what he wants!

If it drops another god core, wouldn't that be wonderful!

He opened the system interface, preparing to return to White Jade Capital first to report the situation.

His gaze swept over a countdown icon on the side that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

Chen You's gaze locked firmly onto that gray countdown.

[Remaining time for newbie protection period: 23 hours 59 minutes 12 seconds.]

The sea breeze blew past.

Chen You shivered.

He rubbed his eyes, leaned closer to the panel, and looked again.

[Remaining time for newbie protection period: 23 hours 59 minutes 05 seconds.]

Then, he turned his head and looked at the huge red countdown in the sky.

[Countdown to Star Sea King's arrival: 23 hours 59 minutes 45 seconds.]

The air suddenly went quiet.

Chen You's brain suddenly stalled.

The boss is arriving in less than 24 hours.

His newbie protection has 23 hours and 59 minutes left.

In other words.

One minute before the mythological-grade World Boss, Star Sea King, crawls out from the seabed with earth-shattering power, ready to start a massacre.

He, Chen You, currently the biggest troublemaker in the Source Realm.

Just happens to lose his newbie protection.
