195: Chapter 195 is even better than a science fiction movie!
Su Lin naturally noticed that sea beast as well.
Its massive body, hundreds of meters long, lay quietly on the seabed.
Its dark cyan scales shimmered with a cold luster in the murky seawater, the bone spurs on its back were as menacing as blades, and its limbs were as thick as pillars supporting the sky.
Even from such a great distance, and even though it was still in a deep slumber.
That terrifying pressure still felt tangible, piercing through the seawater and the barrier, reaching into this underwater structure.
For a brief moment, he even wondered if this might be a deep-sea deity.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
Although the sea beast's aura was terrifying, it was far from reaching the indescribable, logic-defying level of a deity.
Its power was only Catastrophe Level.
However, Catastrophe Level was by no means a weakling.
Moreover, in this deep-sea environment, it was an absolute Dominator.
If he could Extract it as well, he would surely obtain some excellent materials.
Therefore, Su Lin did not intend to let it go.
But the question was, how to fight it?
At first, Su Lin was a bit worried that this sea beast might be in league with those corpses and chains, acting as a guardian placed here by the Ancestor to protect the offerings.
But after the recent clash, he realized that while they were fighting fiercely over there.
The sea beast remained fast asleep, not even batting an eyelid.
And those corpses and chains never had any intention of waking it up from start to finish.
In other words, they were simply not on the same side.
This sea beast was not a guardian of the offerings either.
Since that was the case, what else was there to say?
It was the perfect opportunity to let it fight those corpses and chains.
If they could kill each other, that would naturally be the best outcome.
Even if they couldn't kill each other, wearing them down would make it easier for him to step in and reap the rewards.
However, the sea beast was sleeping very soundly.
Even though the Grey Mist Power had just exploded on the seabed, shattering quite a few surrounding reefs, it remained completely motionless.
It seemed it had been sleeping here for many years, long accustomed to the movements of the seabed; ordinary energy fluctuations simply couldn't wake it up.
Therefore, Su Lin decided to take the initiative.
His eyes narrowed as he once again mobilized that power from the Gray Mist Space, striking precisely onto the giant beast's back.
This strike was neither too light nor too heavy, but it was enough to wake up the ocean beast.
"Boom—!"
The giant beast's body shuddered violently.
It had awakened.
Those murky eyes snapped open, and dark yellow vertical pupils lit up in the gloomy seawater.
Its expression shifted from drowsy to furious, clearly extremely displeased at being woken up.
It lunged up, its massive body causing the seawater to churn violently and stirring up the silt on the seabed.
It opened its massive maw, lined with sharp teeth, and let out a deafening roar.
The roar pierced through the seawater and the glass wall, shaking the entire underground structure.
As its angry gaze swept across the surroundings, it quickly locked onto its target.
Not far away, the lead corpse was still roaring like a madman, dark red energy churning endlessly on the chains, and ghastly green ghost fire flickering violently in its eye sockets.
The sea beast did not hesitate at all.
Several thick, dark cyan tentacles suddenly shot out from its side, tearing through the water with the power to crush everything, and slammed fiercely toward the shipwreck!
"Boom—!"
The shipwreck was hit directly; the already dilapidated hull was instantly smashed open, creating a massive hole, with splintered wood flying everywhere and iron chains rattling violently.
A few chained corpses didn't have time to react and were instantly crushed into pulp by that terrifying impact.
Seeing this, those corpses and chains reacted instantly.
They were clearly also very furious.
They no longer paid attention to Su Lin and the others, instead turning their direction to launch a fierce counterattack against the sea beast.
Dark red energy churned madly on the chains, lashing out at the sea beast like living creatures.
The corpses also opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing beams of dark red energy that blasted straight toward the sea beast's back.
The dark red and dark cyan powers collided in the deep sea, erupting with an earth-shattering roar.
The seawater was blasted into large swaths of vacuum zones.
Shockwaves spread in all directions, shattering the surrounding reefs into powder.
The entire seabed was trembling.
The underground structure where Su Lin and the others were located was also affected; the runes on the glass walls flickered, and the walls vibrated slightly.
However, Su Lin was not worried, as he had previously fought the Elemental Sage in the ancestral hall, causing the world to turn upside down.
As a result, the residence remained intact, not even a single tile had fallen.
This went to show that the Ancestor's protective measures were beyond doubt.
Lin Weixia watched the earth-shattering battle outside, completely stunned:
"Why did they start fighting?"
Shen Qingci was also filled with shock.
She watched the battle outside, then turned to look at Su Lin, opening her mouth as if wanting to say something.
However, Su Lin just watched without explaining.
But from his words, "Let's find him a sparring partner to play with first," Shen Qingci had already guessed a few things.
Although she didn't know exactly what method he had used, there was no doubt that he had done all of this.
She didn't know how he did it, nor did she know what kind of power that was.
But this guy was truly ruthless, turning the top predator of the seabed into his own hired muscle.
The battle continued.
The sea beast's power was extremely violent, with dark cyan energy surging out from its body as if it were free, condensing into beams of light and tentacles that continuously bombarded the shipwreck.
It seemed to want to completely shatter the shipwreck and grind those annoying corpses and chains into powder.
"Rumble—!"
These attacks slammed solidly into the shipwreck.
The shipwreck was already teetering, and now, unable to withstand such terrifying power, the hull exploded, and splintered wood scattered like a rainstorm.
Only the chains remained, still binding the corpses, suspended in the middle of the seawater amidst the dark red glow, like a group of vengeful spirits nailed to the Void Realm.
The corpses also erupted with an even more intense red light; the chains rattled and swung, condensing a thicker energy barrier that stubbornly blocked the sea beast's onslaught.
Watching the battle before him, Su Lin actually felt his blood boiling.
Must say, this was even better than those sci-fi movies from his previous life.
A deep-sea giant beast fighting ancient undead corpses, the special effects were maxed out, and it was even a first-person live view.
He even had the urge to pull up a chair and watch it slowly.
The two sides in the sea were clearly completely enraged.
The sea beast condensed tentacles and light beams again, and the corpses and chains also exploded with red light frantically; both sides' powers collided violently in the deep sea.
Shockwaves came one after another, leaving the seabed unrecognizable.
Just then, those chains suddenly lit up with blinding red light simultaneously.
The corpses also began to chant, emitting hoarse and eerie whispers.
The next second, the lead corpse suddenly raised its arm, and a terrifying power erupted.
The giant beast's massive body was suddenly slammed hard toward the seabed!
"Boom—!"
The sea beast let out a terrified roar, trying to struggle, but its body seemed to be pressed down by an invisible mountain, and no matter how it twisted, it was to no avail.
Cracks began to appear on its carapace, and dark green blood seeped out from the fissures, turning a large expanse of seawater green.
Su Lin was somewhat surprised.
Was this the power to control gravity?
He had thought those chains could only transfer damage, but he didn't expect them to be able to use gravity as well?
Was it the power of the corpses themselves, or the power of the chains?
Did they develop this ability from enduring deep-sea water pressure all year round?
Or was it that when they were sunk to the seabed by the Ancestor, they were endowed with some sort of property related to gravity?
He couldn't figure it out.
But he had to obtain this material.
During the recent battle, the sea beast was already covered in wounds, and its aura had visibly weakened significantly.
The power of those corpses and chains had also clearly weakened by several levels, and the dark red light was no longer as blinding as before.
Su Lin understood, it was about time.
He turned to look at Shen Qingci and asked, "Do you have any treasures related to water avoidance?"
It wasn't that he couldn't force a fight in the sea, but the water resistance was high, and movement would be inconvenient.
It was better to save effort when he could and use tools when possible; there was no need to suffer unnecessarily.
Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded:
"Yes, among the extraordinary items I brought you this time, there happens to be a Water-Avoidance Bead that can form a water-avoidance barrier on the surface of your body."
"However, the duration is limited; it can only last for about half an hour. What are you going to do?"
Su Lin heard this and became thoughtful.
Half an hour?
That should be enough.
He didn't explain much, just loosened his wrists and said in a relaxed tone:
"What else could it be? Obviously, I'm going to kill all those guys."
