Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 371 This can't go on (4K)

what?
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned around to look.

Only then did they realize that the Sea God Talisman hadn't scattered in the sea after brushing past the grouper.

Instead, it was stopped midway by a tentacle that appeared out of nowhere.

Upon closer inspection, the tentacles clearly belonged to the giant octopus.

It actually caught the Sea God Talisman on its own!
This scene left the grouper completely stunned.

Wait a minute, would the sixfin sailfish really be willing to give it the chance to escape?
As a result, it overthought things and its cleverness backfired.
If that's the case, then it's just too unbearable.

Fortunately, the next moment, everyone saw the giant octopus let out a painful roar.

His entire body curled up irregularly, twisting into a bizarre knot. His once stable energy was now chaotic, clearly indicating that he had been attacked.

That's fine.

The grouper breathed a sigh of relief; there was indeed something wrong with the talisman.

Fortunately, it avoided the trap in time.

More importantly, the talisman wasn't wasted; instead, it was taken by the big, silly guy, Qianzu.

This is great!
Now, all it needs to do is wait for the talisman's effect to activate, thus diverting the attention of the human True Lords, and then it can take the opportunity to escape.

It was happy, but the sixfin sailfish looked extremely unhappy.

Those who should have been fooled didn't, while those who shouldn't have been fooled were.

Having been hit by such a powerful and ultimate technique as the Sea God's Talisman, even a giant octopus probably wouldn't survive until today.

The only good news is that at least the item didn't actually fail, thus avoiding the waste of a trump card.

However, what happened next was also beyond its expectations.

Stimulated by the Sea God Talisman, the giant octopus gradually revealed a touch of red within its purplish-red aura, making it look exceptionally alluring.

Each of their red pupils was swollen, looking as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.

Its entire body's dark skin rippled with unusual patterns, as if countless caterpillars were wriggling inside.

The overall pressure also increased rapidly, doubling in less than two breaths.

"Pop! Splash!"

Two sword energies, powered by the mountain-protecting formation, slashed down, but were both deflected without causing any damage.

Instead, it startled him awake, and he roared to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, eight tentacles, each a thousand feet long, rose high from underwater and stretched out in all directions.

The dozen or so array formations and restrictions that were originally used to suppress it were now as fragile as if they were made of clay, and they immediately crumbled and disintegrated.

The entire protective mountain formation was also affected to some extent.

Several array bases in the center flickered a few times before going out.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, True Monarch Yunwo was momentarily stunned.

Then we saw all eight tentacles exert force at the same time and knock it down.

Startled, he quickly activated his spirit shield to protect himself and dodged backward.

But no one expected that the seemingly clumsy tentacles could actually change direction in mid-air.

Even more unexpectedly, the first target the giant octopus chose to attack after its mutation was the grouper that was not far away: "Betrayal means death!"

"Slap! Slap! ...Slap!"

Eight thick tentacles slammed down in succession, instantly turning the unsuspecting grouper into a pile of minced meat.

No, that doesn't even qualify as minced meat.

At best, it can only be called a pile of murky fragments.

It naturally shattered several restrictions in the middle, and also destroyed two array bases below.

"Damn, how can there be such power?"

Gangyuan Zhenjun's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The giant octopus was already the most difficult to deal with, but now its fighting power has at least doubled.

"This is bad; the binding restrictions are clearly no longer effective against it."

Han Chuan Zhenjun also sighed softly, his eyes revealing unconcealed worry.

Rift Sky True Monarch, who was some distance away, couldn't help but take a step back to make sure he was outside the giant octopus's attack range.

The nearby True Lord Yunwo was filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, this attack wasn't aimed at him; otherwise, even with his protective spiritual shield, he would likely have been seriously injured.

Such supernatural strength is beyond human power to resist.

"The traitor is dead. Go and deliver the message."

The giant octopus rolled its six eyes, glanced at the six-finned sailfish, and then extended its tentacles again, smashing them down around it.

Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, it swept away all the nearby restrictions.

Then they were placed horizontally around the perimeter, vaguely forming a barrier, clearly to help cover the rear and block possible pursuit.

With things having come to this point, the six-finned sailfish didn't say much and leaped out of the formation without hesitation.

With a twist in mid-air, it shot into the distance like a sharp arrow.

It's worth noting that sailfish are known for their speed.

Moreover, this was a sailfish at the late Nascent Soul stage, and its speed was ridiculously fast when it fled at full speed, almost comparable to a cultivator of the same level using the Blood Escape Technique.

It disappeared completely in a very short time.

"Everyone, keep your distance and harass them with spells first!"

Gangyuan Zhenjun shouted, "Just like dealing with body cultivators!"

He knew best how to deal with such an incredibly strong enemy.

As he spoke, he took out two talismans from his pocket and threw them out, which transformed into two giant fire scythes that slashed down from thin air.

The main reason is that True Lord Gangyuan is relatively unskilled in magic, so it's better to use talismans as a temporary measure.

However, True Lord Hanchuan took out a small fan, and with a wave of his hand, wind blades fell like raindrops.

It looks like a specially made offensive magical artifact.

Unfortunately, neither the fire striker nor the wind blade could scratch the surface.

In less than a breath, the giant octopus can recover completely thanks to its now utterly unreasonable regenerative abilities.

Faced with such a situation.

Xiao Chen also tried to activate the Azure Wave Bone-Penetrating Needle to attack.

With almost no resistance, the flying needle pierced the giant octopus's body.

However, compared to its massive, mountain-like body, the three Azure Wave Penetrating Needles are so small as to be almost negligible.

Even if Xiao Chen could still detonate the flying needles and cause secondary damage.

It created three large craters, each about ten feet wide, on the other person.

However, this level of damage is still far from enough for a giant octopus.

Similarly, in less than two breaths, new flesh and blood will rapidly grow to fill the gap.

The effect of striking with the Soaring Palm is also quite similar.

In short, with the blessing of the Sea God's Talisman, the giant octopus gained an extremely terrifying regenerative ability, making it completely immune to attacks from the crowd.

"It's no good, I can't even scratch it!"

Han Chuan Zhenjun vigorously waved his precious fan, but it seemed as if he was cooling the opponent: "This guy's recovery ability is already very strong. Continuing to fight like this is simply a waste of our own true energy."

"We must find a way to limit its regenerative ability." "I'll give it a try!" Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yunwo waved his banner: "Pure Yang True Thunder, dispel evil!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another thousand mid-grade spirit stones behind Tingtao Island rapidly dissolved, transforming into a bolt of purple-gold lightning that struck down.

The blinding lightning struck the giant octopus, instantly producing a crackling sound.

The flesh and skin within a hundred feet of the landing point were all turned into charcoal, and even the nearest tentacle was broken in half.

However, before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief...

In the blink of an eye, new flesh grew, pushing away the charred scars and restoring the wounds to their original, intact state.

Along with the severed tentacles, strips of flesh sprouted from the cracks, and new half-tentacles quickly grew out.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

Upon seeing this, True Lord Yunwo felt a chill in his heart.

He could have slightly suppressed the giant octopus by using the mountain-protecting formation.

But now the opponent can actually withstand the power of the formation with their bare body. What should we do?
Not only him, but also Gangyuan Zhenjun and Hanchuan Zhenjun were once again taken aback.

Judging from this, it seems even the protective mountain formation won't be able to stop this giant octopus.

The Sea God Rune not only amplifies its strongest regenerative ability, but also provides far more than double the enhancement.

In this situation, even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to arrive, it's not certain they could compensate for the lost damage.

More importantly, the giant octopus seemed to have discovered it as well, and no one could do anything about it.

So they became bolder and more decisive, completely abandoning their resistance to the incoming spells.

He chased straight after the nearest True Monarch, Cloud Vortex.

Fortunately, giant octopuses are slow-moving by nature.

Although it received a certain boost, it was also continuously affected by the power of the formation.

Especially now that it's the only remaining demon beast in the mountain-protecting formation, all the freely available formation power has gathered around it.

Despite this increase and decrease, the overall speed of the giant octopus is still not fast enough.

At least when True Monarch Yunwo pulls back with all his might, he is still a fraction faster than it.

Therefore, as long as you focus on dodging, you don't need to worry about how to defend against its equally strong tentacles.

But giant octopuses are also very intelligent.

After realizing that it wasn't fast enough, it simply gave up the chase.

Instead, it vigorously waved its tentacles, beginning to destroy the surrounding array bases.

As the saying goes, you can run away from the monk but not the temple.

The people present could hide, but the array base buried in the ground could not be moved.

All we need to do is destroy all of these array bases, no, even just half of them.

Then it can directly break the mountain-protecting formation, thus getting rid of the formation's interference.

By then, it will be able to easily catch up with everyone present and then smash them into mincemeat one by one.

Including the thousands of Sword Pavilion disciples on Tingtao Island, all of them met the same fate: to be shattered to pieces.

"We can't let it destroy the formation!"

Upon seeing this, True Monarch Yunwo immediately became anxious: "Without the restraint of the formation, we really have no way to deal with it."

As he spoke, he no longer cared about saving spirit stones and hurriedly activated the great formation to unleash the second and third bolts of lightning.

He attempted to suppress the opponent's strange regenerative ability with Pure Yang True Lightning.

Unfortunately, even though he had done so much, the giant octopus was only slightly slower and was hardly affected.

They continued to dismantle the array bases one by one in an orderly manner.

"What...what should I do?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, True Lord Hanchuan turned to True Lord Gangyuan and said, "Senior Brother, this can't go on."

"Should we evacuate the disciples first?"

He is not one to back down, nor does he give up easily.

However, considering that the current situation is becoming increasingly unsolvable, there is really no need to stay and die in vain.

It should be noted that they brought many Golden Core disciples with them when they came to support Yuntao Sword Pavilion.

If the formation is broken, it will be too late for them to escape.

Therefore, from a preventative perspective, it would be best to evacuate one's own disciples in advance and let them escape first.

When Han Chuan Zhenjun spoke, he was very open and didn't deliberately lower his voice.

Therefore, True Lord Yunwo naturally heard it clearly as well.

However, after a brief moment of anger, he didn't know what to say.

Rebuke the enemy for deserting their post and tell them to stay and die with their own people?

But what practical significance does that have?

Objectively speaking, it would be better to let them go first, so as to preserve more of the human race's strength.

However, True Lord Yunwo couldn't remain so composed, so he pretended not to have heard anything.

He continued to futilely activate the array flags, attempting to use sword energy to directly tear the giant octopus apart.

The sword formation's attacks appeared to be quite effective.

Each strike could cut a gash hundreds of feet long and tens of feet deep into the giant octopus's body.

However, the wound looked frightening and would indeed be considered a severe injury for a normal monster.

However, when facing a giant octopus, it is not as effective as the Pure Yang True Thunder.

"Junior Brother Hanchuan, you take Junior Brother Liekong and escort the disciples away first."

True Lord Gangyuan was not one to hesitate, and immediately made a decision: "Let's send Fellow Daoist Lüshuang and some of the Sword Pavilion disciples who are free to take action along with them."

“I’ll stay here to buy you some time and also to meet up with Fellow Daoist Yunwo and Fellow Daoist Dielang.”

Han Chuan Zhenjun immediately said, "Junior Brother Lie Kong can handle this alone. I will stay and help resist. More people mean more strength."

Although he was the first to suggest retreating, it was not because he was afraid of death.

It was indeed for the sake of the overall situation.

"no!"

Gangyuan Zhenjun shook his head: "That six-finned sailfish may not have really left."

“If it’s lying in ambush on the outskirts, it won’t be easy for Junior Brother Liekong to deal with it alone. I’ll feel more at ease if you come with me.”

Han Chuan Zhenjun was taken aback upon hearing this, but did not refute it.

Indeed, the sixfin sailfish seemed to have escaped, but whether it had actually left was something he couldn't be sure of at this point.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I may need to ask you for a helping hand as well."

Gangyuan Zhenjun then looked at Xiao Chen: "That six-finned flagfish has the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage. If we encounter it in the outside world, even if the two junior brothers join forces, it will inevitably be a bit difficult."

"If you don't mind, we can leave together and look out for each other."

He was actually exaggerating on purpose, since there were defensive formations on the spirit boat.

As long as they don't fall into the enemy's ambush formation, the combined strength of True Lord Hanchuan and True Lord Liekong is enough to deal with it.

Gangyuan Zhenjun's true thought was that Xiao Chen had come to help, so there was no reason for him to put himself in danger for their sake.

Since the group is to leave separately, they should leave with the first group.

However, leaving directly would not sound good, so he put it more tactfully.
