Chapter 575 Severely Wounded

The Eternal Night reappeared on the sea.

Time and space within the dimensional rift differed from the normal world. Su Lun immediately checked their spatial coordinates and found that they had indeed taken a "shortcut," arriving hundreds of nautical miles away.

The surrounding sea was calm, with thin white clouds floating in the sky.

Without the endless swarm of snakes attacking them, the Dawnbreaker crew cheered with excitement.

They celebrated their escape from danger, and the extraordinary dimensional rift journey that had brought everyone a novel adventure experience.

However, now was not the time to relax.

The benefit of taking a shortcut was that the Dawnbreaker group had not only escaped the gorgon's encirclement, but also avoided the Moon Strait, where the celestial plane's forces had heavily fortified their positions.

The gorgons did not possess the ability to move hundreds of nautical miles in such a short time.

At least they didn't have to worry about being besieged by a large force.

However, based on Su Lun's understanding of the celestial plane's magic legions, those guys would inevitably come after them again.

Moreover, the alliance between the Dawnbreaker and the Medusa Queen had become a major threat.

If they didn't eliminate this threat, those from the celestial plane knew they couldn't obtain the Mimir's Spring peacefully.

As soon as they emerged, Su Lun immediately told everyone, "Be careful. While we were in the chaotic space, those guys from the celestial plane couldn't pinpoint our location. Now that we're out, we've definitely been discovered. Everyone, prepare for battle immediately!"

"Yes!"

With that said, everyone responded in unison, putting away their earlier relaxed attitude and beginning to busy themselves with battle preparations.

.....

The Medusa Queen had previously mentioned that among those mages was a guy with a vertical eye in the center of his forehead, and that he controlled a divine artifact projection.

Su Lun had already guessed that this person was likely the Holy Son, Frank McAdam.

While the crew was busy preparing for battle, Su Lun stood on the mast, observing the surroundings.

At this moment, the Medusa Queen's mental message came from his sea of consciousness: "Further west are the Giant Islands, where the Mimir's Spring you're looking for is located. Some of those mages have already gone ahead to try and land on the island. But you don't need to be too anxious. The one-eyed giant clan guarding the spring won't let people obtain the spring so easily..."

"Oh!"

This was indeed one of the most important issues that Su Lun was worried about.

But he also knew that being anxious was useless.

The current situation was that without resolving the threat from those mages from the celestial plane, the Dawnbreaker group couldn't hope to approach the Giant Islands safely.

And the other party also wanted to eliminate them.

Hearing the Medusa Queen say this, Su Lun curiously asked, "Your Majesty, I know, among those mages, there is someone who can easily summon the power of the gods. I mean... with the gods protecting them, they still can't get the spring?"

Su Lun had gathered too much information about the celestial plane during this time, and finally understood why those with a vertical eye on their forehead were called "Holy Sons."

The bloodline manifestation of the talent [s-009-Myriad Manifestations True Understanding] not only meant exceptional cultivation talent, but Frank could also easily communicate with the gods and receive more divine power.

A top-tier powerhouse blessed by the gods, there wouldn't be many things in this shattered alchemical plane that could stop him. Could those one-eyed giants really stop him?

Hearing this, the Medusa Queen's tone showed no reverence for the foreign gods as she responded, "Don't even mention summoning the will of the gods. Even if a true god descended, they wouldn't necessarily be able to forcibly seize the spring."

She herself possessed the bloodline of a mythological demigod, and her level of life might not necessarily be lower than some low-level gods.

She continued, "This involves some ancient taboos, and I'm not too clear on the specifics. It's just that my Gorgon clan's ancestors passed down this warning: 'No one can defeat the one-eyed giant clan on the island where the Mimir's Spring is located, and even more so, do not attempt to forcibly seize the spring, or even the gods will be cursed...'"

"Even a true god's descent wouldn't work…" Su Lun listened thoughtfully, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.

Currently, those guys from the celestial plane had the advantage in numbers and had taken the initiative, giving them a much greater advantage in seizing the Mimir's Spring than the Dawnbreaker group.

Now that he knew the threshold for obtaining the spring was extremely high, it actually made the gap between the two sides insignificant.

At this time, the Medusa Queen said again, "And my Gorgon clan's ancestral land is on the Coco Loxi Island in the northwest. If I can go to the temple and complete the final step of my inheritance, I won't fear anyone in this plane."

"Mm."

Su Lun responded to that as well.

This was also the content of the cooperation discussed in the previous alliance agreement: the Dawnbreaker group needed to help the Medusa Queen complete her final inheritance.

Because they had taken a shortcut, with the Eternal Night's maximum speed, it would take no more than two hours to reach Coco Loxi Island from here.

Now that the main force of those gorgons was still hundreds of nautical miles away, this was the best time to "sneak attack."

However, Su Lun also knew that things would not necessarily go so smoothly.

Those enemies from the celestial plane would definitely not let them go.

………

Just as the Eternal Night was sailing towards Coco Island, Su Lun, who was closely watching the surroundings on the mast, suddenly sensed something and shouted, "Twelve o'clock, enemy attack!"

Just as his voice fell, the space above the sea in front of the Eternal Night suddenly twisted, and a golden-haired man wearing a large red and gold-patterned magic robe leisurely stepped out of the spatial rift.

That arrogant expression, that iconic vertical eye on his forehead—who else could it be but the Holy Son of the celestial plane, Frank McAdam?

"Oh…"

Su Lun's pupils slightly constricted as he looked at the suddenly appearing enemy.

He wasn't surprised that the Holy Son had caught up so quickly, but he was surprised that this guy's understanding of spatial laws was almost the same as his own?

Su Lun's current understanding of spatial laws, if not at the seventh tier, even an eighth-tier space arcanist might not be able to compare.

And without great opportunities, it was impossible to raise this rare law to a high level.

Su Lun himself had also integrated various spatial implants, advancement materials, and bloodline potions to reach his current level.

But he didn't expect that Frank had reached this level as well.

This made things even more troublesome…

Su Lun had always relied on his superior understanding of spatial laws to overwhelm his enemies. Now that he had encountered someone who could also fight and run, he immediately felt a sense of threat.

In other words, without the Ouroboros Time-Space Ring, he would definitely be targeted, and Su Lun feared that he would be stuck with this guy to the death.

Not just him, but anyone in the Dawnbreaker group.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes again, staring at the golden-haired youth with an arrogant expression, and muttered in his heart, "This guy's strength has improved so quickly."

No wonder he dared to chase after them alone. With this strength, he naturally had confidence.

………

At the moment of the enemy attack, the Dawnbreaker group reacted extremely quickly.

Because of Su Lun's warning, almost at the moment the Holy Son Frank appeared, with a few muffled "bang" sounds, the main guns on the deck were already spitting out flames.

At the same time, two faster sword energies and dozens of slightly slower high-level alchemical spells also bombarded the front of the ship.

This attack almost gathered all of the Dawnbreaker group's instantaneous combat power. If someone were to take this head-on, even an eighth-tier professional would probably die on the spot.

However, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The several alchemical shells accurately hit the position where the young man had just appeared, but faced with the deadly attack, this guy didn't even have any intention of dodging.

He raised his hand, and as the invisible domain field surrounding his body expanded, the alchemical shells visibly decomposed into particles in mid-air.

The particles continued to decompose into even smaller particles, and before they even touched Frank's body, they had completely decomposed and disappeared into the air.

No explosion, no shock wave, no alchemical reaction...

Nothing. It was as if nothing had happened.

The energy and matter were all decomposed into basic particles by that strange domain field.

Even Old Sword God Barrett's sword energy only managed to break through that domain field, cutting a small opening in Frank's magic robe.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Dawnbreaker group's expression changed drastically.

They looked at the guy floating in the air like they were looking at a monster, and the shock in their hearts was something they had never experienced even when hunting that eighth-tier pure-blooded silver dragon.

Even Bartolo could only break his defense, how did this guy do it?

Could this guy be stronger than an eighth-tier dragon? Not just stronger.

But his strange decomposition ability completely exceeded everyone's understanding.

This was what made him seem so incredibly troublesome.

………

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the people on the deck, Frank seemed to enjoy this superior feeling.

He glanced at his torn robe and chuckled, "Oh… the Sword God realm. Tsk tsk, that's rare. I didn't expect there to be a professional with such sword dao cultivation in this plane…"

Su Lun looked at this guy, his gaze falling on the small fluorescent round shield in his left hand.

Even with the All-Knowing Eye, the magic纹路 on the small round shield were still mysterious and difficult to decipher; these were divine纹路.

Upon identification, it was indeed the "divine artifact projection" that Medusa had spoken of.

[Immaculate Mirror]

Details: This is a magical shield that will not be stained by dust, nor will it be polluted by any magic. A projection descending from a higher plane, it possesses some of the effects of a divine artifact, immune to reflecting all magical damage that is not higher than the law level of the mirror.

"One hundred percent magic immunity…"

Su Lun sighed inwardly as he looked at the information he had identified.

It was almost impossible for this alchemical plane to have a术式 with a higher law level than this shield.

Frank was carrying this shield with him to guard against the Medusa Queen's petrification curse.

Now that Old Sword God Bartolo's sword energy posed no threat to him, and Medusa couldn't do anything about him.

As soon as this guy appeared, he presented the Dawnbreaker group with an unsolvable problem.

They couldn't beat him…

Su Lun had already witnessed the power of Frank's [Myriad Manifestations True Understanding] in Old Lingdun.

Back then, he, Chitiao, and Mr. Mirror had joined forces, but they had not been able to hold this guy back. Now, it was even more impossible. Dealing with such an enemy was definitely not a matter of numbers.

Rather, it was necessary to find a method to counter his abilities.

After thinking it over, only Su Lun's abilities had some hope of restraining him.

Seeing that the first round of attacks was completely ineffective, he said directly, "You guys go first, I'll hold him back."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, everyone responded decisively, "Yes!"

The Immaculate Mirror in Frank's hands was the most important thing to restrain Medusa.

The only option now was for Su Lun to hold this guy back and let the Dawnbreaker group attack Coco Loxi Island.

Only when the Medusa Queen received her ancestral inheritance and her strength skyrocketed would the Dawnbreaker group truly have a stable and reliable ally in this sea area.

Su Lun floated into the air, holding the Black Scythe and Black Umbrella, standing in front of Frank.

The Eternal Night avoided the battlefield between the two and quickly left.

Frank looked at the departing black-sailed warship, not in a hurry to chase after it, with only a mocking sneer in his eyes.

After all, with his current spatial ability, even if that ship could fly, he could easily catch up.

On the contrary, Frank was more interested in the Su Lun in front of him.

Looking at the enemy in front of him, he recognized that this was the guy who had cut off his arm. The hatred of having his arm cut off had caused the Holy Son to lose face, so Frank decided to kill this person first.

Su Lun was not polite either, raising his hand and slashing down with the Black Scythe.

Across several hundred meters, a hair-thin spatial rift appeared on Frank's body.

But this guy didn't panic at all. He just glanced with the vertical eye on his forehead, and the spatial rift had already closed and disappeared before it could fully open.

Although Su Lun was not surprised at all, he showed a solemn expression.

He raised his hand and slashed down with the Black Scythe a few more times, but it still had no effect.

Seeing that the Black Scythe's attacks were ineffective, he raised his hand and pinched a sorcerer's seal, and several high-level spell formulas bombarded him as well. But the results were the same.

No matter what kind of attack it was, anything that approached Frank would be decomposed into basic particles.

On the contrary, Frank's attacks posed a great threat to Su Lun, and he was in danger several times. The two exchanged blows, and in the blink of an eye, they had fought more than a dozen rounds.

Both sides had roughly figured out each other's combat power.

The battle looked very fierce, but Frank didn't feel any threat. He looked at Su Lun with a condescending arrogance in his eyes, "Tsk tsk... you can be considered the strongest seventh-tier professional I've ever seen."

Perhaps feeling that victory was within his grasp, this guy showed off with a face full of superiority, "You're much stronger than those 'Top Ten Legendary Hunters of Lu Ying' that I killed before. Just the fact that you can hold out against me for so many moves is enough for you to be proud of. It's a pity, this level of attack is useless against me…"

Hearing these words, Su Lun was not affected in the slightest and maintained his calm thoughts.

He fought and retreated, looking like he couldn't win and wanted to find a chance to slip away.

Frank also saw that Su Lun was deliberately trying to lead him away, or perhaps he really wanted to escape. But he didn't care at all.

His current spatial ability made it impossible for anyone to shake him off, so he relentlessly pursued him.

His intuition told him that if he didn't kill this enemy today, there would be endless troubles in the future!

The two fought fiercely on the sea, and the shock waves of the battle created white spray flowers on the surface of the sea.

After a series of exchanges, Su Lun had an accurate understanding of Frank's strength.

He had to admit that after this guy's strength had skyrocketed, he really seemed unsolvable.

His own means of attack were probably at the level of an eighth-tier professional, which was not too fatal.

But the tricky thing was his Myriad Manifestations True Understanding talent, which could decompose everything, and the Immaculate Mirror in his hand, which was 100% magic-immune. These two methods almost made him invincible.

Normally speaking, even a ninth-tier professional would not be able to do anything to him.

The two chased each other, and the distance didn't close at all.

Seeing that he "couldn't escape," Su Lun suddenly had a phantom of the God of Death rise behind him, and a domain of death was displayed, looking like he was about to risk his life.

Frank, seeing him in this state, was not surprised at all, but his eyes were full of cold light, "You're finally using this move."

It was this domain that had caused him to lose an arm in the past. Now that he saw the same move again, he immediately felt a fire in his heart.

He had suffered a great loss from this move once, but it wouldn't work so well now. "It's over…"

Just after murmuring these words, he chanted a mysterious spell, "Myriad Manifestations True Understanding - Cave Heaven Divine Light!"

At the moment when the spell was chanted, Frank's vertical eye on his brow suddenly focused, emitting an eerie blue light.

As soon as this blue light appeared, it seemed that the surrounding space was distorted, and a destructive aura arose sharply.

He had long seen through Su Lun's idea of teleporting over for close combat. The vertical eye on his forehead instantly focused on a spot one meter in front of him, and the beam of blue light also focused here.

Teleportation was fast, and the combat response was almost flawless, but since he had been predicted, then this one strike would be enough to determine life and death!

Even Su Lun himself felt a mountain-like threat of death, and his scalp instantly went numb. As soon as he teleported over, he immediately sensed a destructive force shooting toward his head.

How fast was that blue light!

In that instant, it had already penetrated Su Lun's domineering aura and domain surrounding his body.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, his head was about to be decomposed by this beam of light.

However, at that moment, an abrupt change occurred!

A ring on Su Lun's finger flashed red, and his speed increased by several times in a bizarre manner.

"Biu~"

The blue light that could penetrate everything pierced through Su Lun's head, but it collapsed into shadows.

Taking a closer look, it was actually an afterimage!

He avoided it? How was that possible!

Frank widened his three eyes, completely unprepared for the fact that this sure-kill move had been avoided!

However, what shocked him even more was still to come.

Not only had Su Lun's speed increased several times, but his right hand, holding the Black Umbrella, instantly condensed a layer of soul flame that looked like phosphorus fire.

The rune Black Umbrella was like a spear, stabbing straight at his chest.

Frank instantly felt a threat of death, and his heart was greatly shocked, "Fire of the God of Death, how can this guy know this move?" But there was no time to think, and the green phosphorus fire had already touched the Myriad Manifestations domain on his body.

What the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding decomposes is everything he can understand.

Now, he had the protection of the gods, and his cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness… various mainstream, or even rare elemental laws, he understood almost everything. Space, destruction, time, life… he also had a very deep understanding of various high-level laws.

This gave him the confidence to face any enemy calmly.

However, he knew nothing about the soul.

This involved things at a higher level of life.

"Damn it!"

Frank cursed inwardly. He found that his domain did not block the soul fire at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the burning black umbrella stabbed toward his chest.

The black umbrella did not pierce into his body, but the green flames had already started burning on his body surface. In an instant, Frank felt that the whole world was a sea of fire.

Not only was it not hot, but the soul was trembling in extreme cold.

Combat instinct made him instantly teleport away from the spot, but the soul being ignited made Frank feel as if his life was flowing away like a collapsing dam, and there was no way to stop it.

………

"Success!" Su Lun was overjoyed.

Even though a severe pain of being penetrated and decomposed came from his leg, his expression instantly relaxed.

Once the Fire of the God of Death was stained on the soul, it would not be extinguished until it was burned out.

This blow, even if it didn't kill the Holy Son Frank, would be enough to severely wound him.

In fact, from the very beginning, Su Lun knew that even if he exposed all his means, he would not be able to kill this guy.

After all, this guy was the Holy Son of the celestial plane.

In addition to his own combat power, he also had the protection of the gods.

He had seen this guy's speed of summoning the will of the gods when he was in Old Lingdun, which was so fast that it was impossible to give anyone a chance to kill him.

Once he detected any sign of a fatal threat, he would inevitably summon the protection of the gods.

Therefore, the only chance was to sneak attack.

Only by not letting the enemy think that he posed a fatal threat to him could he have a chance to sneak attack.

So Su Lun had not been exposing his trump cards since the battle started.

This was not easy.

After all, Frank had the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding talent, and his洞察力 was something that ordinary people could not imagine.

Any idea of hiding his clumsiness and luring the enemy would not be able to hide under the gaze of that three-eyed神瞳. Therefore, Su Lun had really been fighting with all his strength just now.

If it were before, even if he gave it his all, he would not be able to do anything to the other party and could only escape.

But after coming out of the Cursed Space of the Hell Dragon's Kingdom, he had an additional alchemical treasure, which was the Philosopher's Stone.

This treasure could sublimate the power of alchemical术式, shorten the time for the凝集 of术式, 100% equivalent exchange…

It could make the alchemist's combat power skyrocket several times!

Su Lun had refined this gem into an inconspicuous ring and wore it on his hand, but he had not used it. It was only at that moment that he found a chance to gamble his life.

After fighting for so long, the enemy's thinking had formed an inertia, thinking that Su Lun's combat power was only 100 units, but suddenly it became 300 units. This unprepared instant was the opportunity.

As expected, he succeeded!

………

Su Lun looked at Frank, who teleported back hundreds of meters in the distance, enduring the severe pain in his left calf, which had been completely decomposed, and wanted to teleport again to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

However, at this time, Su Lun actually saw the green light emerging from Frank's brow-心 vertical eye, and suddenly focused on his burning chest.

In that split second, the beam of light was like a sharp knife, and Frank had decomposed all the bodies below his chest.

He cut off his tail to survive!

Su Lun sighed at this guy's decisiveness.

However, even so, he clearly sensed that the other party's soul fire had instantly weakened by more than half.

Even if he didn't die, he would undoubtedly be severely injured.

However, before Su Lun could rush up again to finish him off, a ray of divine light suddenly descended on that guy, and the whole person had disappeared.

"He escaped…"

Su Lun squinted his eyes, looked at the limbs that were still decomposing in the distance, and sighed slightly. But on second thought, he was very satisfied with this result.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't kill him, it was already an unexpected surprise to be able to severely injure an enemy that even the ninth tier couldn't do anything about.

And another good news was that the Holy Son's soul was severely injured, and his strength would definitely plummet.

At least in the short term, this guy no longer had the capital to be arrogant.

Su Lun gasped twice, looked at his decomposed leg, and didn't stay any longer. A spatial ripple flashed, and his figure disappeared instantly.
