Chapter 104: Hunting the Level 5 Sea Monster!

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Hunting the Level 5 Sea Monster!

Meanwhile, in the deep sea hundreds of nautical miles away from Lin Ji.

The pitch-black sea surface was illuminated as bright as day by searchlights and the glow of artillery fire.

"Boom—"

Deafening cannon blasts tore through the night sky.

At the center of the scene was a massive warship.

This was the only Fearless-class Main Ship in the Bone Burial Sea that had broken through the Level 5 barrier—the Apocalypse.

Its deck area was as large as three football fields!

The ship’s surface was covered with a layer of composite reactive armor that shimmered with a dark golden luster.

Seven heavy destruction cannons emitting a red glow were distributed along both sides of the hull.

At the highest point of the colossal ship stood a Super Storm Tower over ten meters tall, entwined with purple lightning and radiating a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

"All ships, maintain formation!"

A commander’s hoarse roar echoed from the loudspeakers.

Behind this Fearless-class Main Ship, over a dozen escort vessels were arrayed in a fan-shaped formation.

Among them were five Level 4 War Ships, while the rest were all elite Level 3 vessels.

At this moment, on the Apocalypse’s most open command platform.

Gu Tianming sat upright in a large leather chair.

He wore a Zhongshan suit, his expression dignified and imposing.

On the thumb of his right hand, he wore a ring that emitted a purple glow.

[Dominion King’s Ring (Purple Quality)]!

This was the stage-specific divine-level reward the system had issued when he had just secured first place on the promotion rankings.

When worn, it not only doubled the range of his A-grade Dominion Aura.

But also forcibly extracted a small amount of Spiritual Power from hostile targets within the aura’s range, replenishing his own.

"This monster is truly troublesome."

Gu Tianming gazed ahead, his brow slightly furrowed as he muttered to himself.

Directly in front of the Apocalypse, the sounds of artillery fire and human roars continued unabated...

Surrounded at the center of the Apocalypse fleet was a Level 5 deep-sea behemoth—the [Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare].

This monster had no fixed form, its surface covered with countless eyes that flickered with a red glow.

"Ugh..."

A nauseating stench of decay wafted over with the sea breeze, causing several female members on the deck to retch involuntarily.

Around the Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare, dozens of Level 3 Sea Monsters clustered.

Nearby, four massive Level 4 Praetorian Sea Beasts exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.

They could form a symbiotic synergy with the Level 5 Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare.

Their tentacles were interconnected, continuously channeling the sea’s energy to the central Parent Body.

Facing this horde of Sea Monsters, the members of the Apocalypse Guild had clear roles.

"Hold the line! Brothers of Warhammer, defend the front at all costs!"

From the front lines came rough roars and the deafening clang of metal collisions.

At the forefront, bearing the brunt of the assault, was a heavily armored Level 4 Steel Ram Ship.

This was the vessel of the [Warhammer Guild], ranked seventh on the leaderboard.

The seventh-ranked [Warhammer Guild] and the tenth-ranked [Venom Fang Alliance].

Were merely subsidiary guilds split off from the Apocalypse Guild.

The Apocalypse Guild harbored immense ambition. They deliberately divided these subsidiary forces precisely to occupy more slots on the leaderboard.

Given their foundation, they could have originally taken even more of the top ten positions.

But in order to build that Level 5 Apocalypse, they forcibly drained resources from their other war ships.

At this moment, the Warhammer Guild’s heavy escort ship held the front line firmly, emitting deafening sounds of metal collisions.

Behind it, the Venom Fang Alliance’s Level 4 Toxic Biochemical Ship continuously sprayed vast clouds of green poisonous mist over the sea surface, blocking the approach of lower-level sea monsters.

"Open fire! Don’t let them charge through!"

The remaining several Level 4 war ships frantically unleashed artillery fire and skills from a safe distance.

With this coordination, the beast tide was held outside the defensive line, unable to get anywhere near the Apocalypse.

And at the very center of the battlefield, several A-grade Awakened were besieging that Level 5 Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare.

"How is this damned thing unkillable!"

A slender man in tactical gear cursed angrily.

His legs suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly dissipated into a cloud of black smoke.

The black smoke drilled at extreme speed into the monster’s blind spot, viciously tearing open a bloody gash in a dead angle of its carapace.

This was the Apocalypse Guild’s A-grade assassin, codename Anying.

Not far from him, a tall woman was biting her red lips tightly, her expression extremely grim.

With a sharp flick of her wrist, the frost whip in her hand cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Several thick tentacles lashing towards her were swept by the whip’s shadow and instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

She was the guild’s cold and aloof beauty, codename Xuanbing.

Even as the two attacked with all their might, they were utterly unable to advance the battle by even an inch.

Because the regenerative ability of this Level 5 monster, the Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare, was far too astonishing.

The flesh that was severed or frozen and cracked would, after just a few seconds, squirm and regrow anew.

Without being able to reach the monster’s true core, the fight had completely reached a stalemate.

Gu Tianming watched this scene before him, his brow deeply furrowed.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Gu Tianming slammed his hand down on the armrest of his seat with a dull thud.

"After all this time, they still haven’t taken down a single Level 5 monster. How much more of my ammunition and energy are they going to waste?"

He had no patience to drag this on any longer.

Gu Tianming stood up, the purple ring on his right thumb glowing with a piercing light.

"Dominion Aura, fully unleashed!"

He commanded in a low voice.

A dark golden halo spread out from him as the center.

The halo instantly swept across the entire fleet, enveloping everyone within it.

Under the enhancement of this aura, all attributes of the Apocalypse members skyrocketed instantly.

"For the Apocalypse!"

The guild members’ eyes burned with fanaticism, as if feeling no fatigue, and they launched a fierce assault once more.

At the center of the battlefield, a burly man who had been entangled by a Level 4 mutated sea beast suddenly threw his head back and roared wildly at the sky.

The muscles on his body instantly bulged, tearing through his clothing.

His entire form transformed into a three-meter-tall half-beastman. This was precisely the Apocalypse Guild’s A-grade powerhouse, Kuangshou.

"The Guild Leader’s buff is truly intoxicating!"

Kuangshou’s eyes were bloodshot as he charged forward, enduring the attacks of the Level 4 monster.

He tore through the monster’s defenses with a pair of sharp claws, then crushed its throat with a single bite.

Squelch!

Blood splattered everywhere.

He casually tossed aside the monster’s corpse and turned to look up at the command platform, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Thank you, Guild Master, for bestowing this power!"

With that, covered in blood, he roared and charged toward the Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare.

With the aura’s enhancement and Kuangshou joining the fray, the group’s assault on the Level 5 monster became significantly easier in an instant.

The Thousand-Tentacle Nightmare sensed the threat.

Hiss—

It let out an ear-piercing shriek.

The eyes covering its body simultaneously erupted with red light, instantly doubling the intensity of its mental corruption.

"Ugh..."

Several A-grade experts clutched their heads in agony, forced to retreat repeatedly.

The battle had once again reached a stalemate.

Gu Tianming furrowed his brow and turned to look at the young man standing beside him.

He was an exceptionally handsome young man.

Dressed in a white trench coat, he stood tall and straight, with deep-set features that exuded an innate nobility.

He stood there quietly, his robust physique and muscular lines hinting at explosive power.

This was Gu Tianming’s son, the Apocalypse Guild’s top combatant—Gu Yixuan.

"Yixuan, it’s time for you to step in."
