Wang Yu

Chapter 171: Forced Into A Corner

Soosh!

The giant octopus suddenly retracted all its tentacles towards the center, and its massive body instantly turned into a blurred black shadow, pressing towards where Fang Pan was.

This scene looked as if a purplish-black mountain was moving quickly on the seabed, incomparably eerie.

Before it even arrived, an indescribable pressure, intensified by the surrounding seawater's violent churning, surged towards Fang Pan wave after wave, causing him to sway, the cyan light on his body to tremble wildly, and his body to shoot out like a giant crossbow.

Fang Pan staggered a few steps before barely managing to steady himself.

The giant octopus had already appeared less than a hundred zhang away from him, its eight tentacles whipping down fiercely, leaving trails of dazzling light in the seawater and emitting muffled thunder-like sounds.

Although startled, Fang Pan remained calm. The cyan light on his body flashed, and he instantly transformed into five identical figures, darting away like lightning in different directions.

The eight tentacles of the giant octopus, descending rapidly, paused slightly, seemingly not expecting Fang Pan to have such a move. But the next moment, the eight tentacles still slammed down with overwhelming force.

Instantly, rocks flew everywhere, and the seabed below was carved with several deep trenches, each hundreds of zhang long.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the five clones of Fang Pan narrowly dodged the lashes of the tentacles and charged upwards towards the surface of the sea like lightning.

The giant octopus roared in anger, its eyes flashing with green light, and its mouth opened wide.

With a "chi la" sound, five streams of purplish-black lightning bolts, each as thick as a water bucket, shot out.

These five bolts of purplish-black lightning appeared unremarkable on the surface, but their speed far surpassed ordinary lightning. In a flash, they caught up with Fang Pan and struck the five Fang Pans accurately.

Five explosive roars!

Four of the Fang Pans shattered and disappeared in the purplish-black lightning, leaving only the one on the far left, who was blasted forward, spitting out a large mouthful of blood with a "wah" sound.

However, he didn't seem to be seriously injured. After a roll, he steadied his body.

Beneath the shattered clothes on his back was revealed a dark golden inner armor, its surface covered with dark golden scales.

At this moment, the inner armor had a deep gash, and many of the scales on it were shattered, clearly indicating a significant loss of spiritual power, but it had ultimately not been pierced through.

Seeing this, Fang Pan transformed into a blinding cyan rainbow almost without thinking, flying forward with incredible speed.

"Roar!"

The giant octopus let out an angry roar from its mouth. As its eight tentacles stretched and retracted, its body once again transformed into a blurred black shadow, chasing closely behind the cyan rainbow.

Its speed in the sea was so fast that it was not much slower than Fang Pan's.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, instantly disappeared into the distance, and the turbulent seawater gradually returned to calm.

At this moment, Han Li's figure flew out from the seabed crevice, looking in the direction where Fang Pan and the giant octopus had flown, a look of hesitation appearing in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he still transformed into a cyan shadow, shooting towards there.

The plan, as it currently appeared, was a preliminary success, but although this sea beast was strong, it might not be able to take Fang Pan's life, which still didn't allow him to completely relax.

Han Li's escape speed was currently far inferior to that of Fang Pan and the giant octopus. The two had already flown beyond the range of his spiritual sense.

However, the residual immortal spiritual power fluctuations were too obvious.

Following these traces, he tailed them all the way for about half an hour.

A moment later, his figure paused and stopped.

The seawater hundreds of miles ahead was surging wildly as if boiling, with countless whirlpools rising and falling in succession. Even from here, one could still feel waves of giant force surging towards him.

At the center of this chaos was a huge ball of light, tens of miles in size, with countless dazzling purple electric arcs and black mist dancing on it.

These electric arcs and mist intertwined, forming clusters of purplish-black halos, which then exploded.

Waves of earth-shattering power erupted in all directions, even tearing apart the seabed, and streams of dark red magma began to emerge from within.

"Spirit Domain... no, it's not quite the same. It should be some kind of domain divine ability similar to the Spirit Domain." Han Li muttered to himself, feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from the huge ball of light, and a sense of lingering fear couldn't help but arise in his heart.

Although the giant sea beast he had lured possessed terrifying power no less than that of a True Immortal Realm late stage cultivator, it seemed to belong to some kind of primeval exotic species and hadn't fully developed its intelligence. Otherwise, if it had activated this kind of domain divine ability when it first appeared, he would have been caught in the crossfire as well.

This thought flashed through his mind and was immediately discarded.

Then, a layer of blue light appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the light ball in front of him. He could vaguely see two figures, one large and one small, moving quickly within it, colliding and clashing from time to time.

The large figure was naturally the octopus sea monster, but its originally mountain-like giant figure had shrunk to a dozen zhang tall, making it appear more agile and free. The other figure was Fang Pan.

Fang Pan seemed to be greatly restricted in speed within this light ball space and was at an absolute disadvantage, constantly being knocked away by the tentacles.

At this moment, he looked extremely disheveled, his face pale, his hair disheveled, and the cyan light on his body dim.

However, a silver scroll floated above his head, from which countless silver runes sprayed out, forming a layer of silver rune light barrier around him, allowing him to be constantly knocked away without suffering too serious injuries.

Bang!

Fang Pan was once again knocked away by a tentacle that arrived like lightning, causing the silver rune light barrier to flash wildly.

After a long period of fighting, the octopus sea monster seemed to be a little impatient. The speed of its tentacles increased, and the frequency with which Fang Pan was hit also increased greatly.

At this moment, Fang Pan's heart was also filled with bitterness.

With his current cultivation, he was still unable to break open this purplish-black light ball space, which was similar to a Spirit Domain. This was definitely not a long-term solution. Once the immortal treasure above his head was broken, he would inevitably fall here.

At the thought of this, the jealousy and hatred he felt towards Han Li grew even stronger.

Just at that moment, the octopus sea monster's wildly dancing tentacles suddenly stopped, and its mouth opened abruptly.

A large mass of pitch-black ink spurted out, covering the sky and the earth.

Fang Pan only felt a pungent fishy stench rushing towards his face, and his mind was dizzy.

Alarmed, he quickly urged the power of his spiritual sense to dispel the strangeness in his mind. At the same time, the silver scroll above his head hummed, and the light shone brightly.

Countless silver runes spewed out from it, transforming into a disc-shaped silver light shield, like a silver moon, blocking above his head.

A sizzling sound rang out!

After the silver light shield was touched by the black ink, wisps of smoke immediately appeared on its surface, and it was instantly corroded with holes all over.

Large patches of black ink seeped in, continuing to envelop Fang Pan.

In desperation, Fang Pan immediately changed his hand seal and uttered several obscure incantations.

Puchi!

The silver scroll suddenly burst into flames, and clusters of silver flames fell, instantly igniting the silver rune light barrier enveloping his body.

From a distance, Fang Pan transformed into a raging ball of silver fire.

The black ink that poured down was instantly dispelled into wisps of black smoke under the roll of the silver flames.

However, before Fang Pan could breathe a sigh of relief, the octopus sea monster's eight tentacles suddenly straightened into long rods, instantly transforming into layers upon layers of club shadows, wildly sweeping towards Fang Pan from all directions.

A series of earth-shattering explosions came!

The silver fire ball trembled wildly, and the scroll floating above Fang Pan's head became smaller and smaller as it burned, and it looked like it would not be able to support it for long before it completely collapsed and disappeared.

"No! I'm not willing!"

Fang Pan roared, seemingly suddenly thinking of something, and took out a hazy cyan pill with a flip of his hand.

This pill was only the size of a thumb, but it emitted waves of astonishing spiritual power, and there were many tiny cyan runes that vaguely formed a lifelike miniature cyan dragon above the pill.

This pill was called the Azure Dragon Pill, and it was a spiritual pill that he had prepared at great expense in order to break through to the late stage of the True Immortal Realm. Although it was not a Dao Pill, its value was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary First Grade Dao Pill.

He took out this pill at this moment, naturally not wanting to break through his realm.

This pill had a miraculous effect, which was to stimulate the potential of the person taking the pill, allowing them to erupt with powerful combat power far beyond their own realm in a short period of time, so as to personally experience a higher level of realm, which could greatly increase the chance of breakthrough.

Without much consideration, Fang Pan opened his mouth and swallowed the pill in his hand.

Extremely dense cyan light immediately bloomed from his body. The aura that had originally been declining rose steadily, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its previous level and continued to rise.

At this moment, all the potential in his body seemed to be forced out.

Turbulent immortal spiritual power fluctuations erupted from his body, and cyan light danced on him like flames.

Bright cyan light spots appeared all over his body, flickering, like eyes blinking, as many as twenty-three.

But then, at a certain point in his body, another point of cyan light suddenly lit up.

The next moment, the twenty-four light spots seemed to resonate, suddenly lighting up at the same time, causing the aura on his body to soar again, vaguely reaching a level comparable to that of the octopus monster.

Fang Pan suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which merged into the silver scroll above his head.

The scroll was already on the verge of destruction, but after merging with his blood, the silver flames enveloping the scroll suddenly intensified, turning into a silver fire ball the size of several zhang.

The silver flame runes that originally enveloped his body suddenly flew back and merged into this fire ball.

Boom!

The silver fire ball flew into the sky and then exploded with a loud noise.

Countless silver light mixed with violent air waves swept out in all directions, forcibly blocking the mountain-like black shadow formed by the eight tentacles.

Taking the opportunity, Fang Pan transformed into a blurred cyan shadow, shooting out of the light ball like lightning, and had once again grasped the black long knife in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the edge of the light ball space.

Without saying a word, the cyan light on his body shone brightly, and he instantly transformed into seven identical figures. The black long knife in his hand bloomed with unprecedented light, and at the same time, he slashed forward fiercely.

"Open for me!"

The seven black knife lights suddenly merged into one in mid-air, turning into a magnificent knife light nearly a thousand zhang long, and slashed on the purplish-black light barrier blocking in front of him.

Crack!

The purplish-black crystalline light barrier flashed wildly, and a deep crack was cut out, and then shattered, breaking open a large hole.

Fang Pan's body instantly transformed into a cyan light, shooting out with the speed of lightning.

All of this took place in just one or two breaths.

By the time the octopus sea monster chased after him, Fang Pan's figure had already flown far away, disappearing into the vast sea.
