Chapter 771 - 115: First Battle Against a Golden Immortal, Insufficient

In the rear, the generals of the Human Emperor Palace, who followed the Central Army’s Sharp Arrow Formation and formed a battle array to slaughter the remaining Abyssal Creatures, suddenly lost all color from their faces.

They had personally experienced the indestructibility of the True Martial Barrier and felt the boundless power of Shennong’s life-force.

Yet at this moment, the Sigh Barrier, which seemed capable of resisting everything, was groaning violently, and the hands capable of purifying ten thousand poisons appeared so rushed and powerless.

A chilling coldness arose from the depths of everyone’s hearts, freezing their limbs and bones instantly.

Their knuckles turned white from clutching their Magical Treasures tightly, as the Protective Immortal Light flickered unsteadily under the oppressive essence of corruption.

No words were needed; fear and horror were clearly etched on every face.

The might of a Golden Immortal, to this extent! With just one strike, it pushed Shen Fei’s defensively and healing-strong Summoned Beast to the brink of its limits!

But Shi Yue and Qingfeng were stunned; they themselves were Golden Immortals, naturally understanding the gap between Golden Immortals and Profound Immortals. The difference could be said to be akin to a Golden Immortal easily crushing a Profound Immortal.

Even a casual blow could crush many Profound Immortals, yet Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast managed to block it?

The three tainted eyes of the Master of the Mucous Sea still coldly gazed down at the ant-like struggle below, while deeper within the turbulent sea of mucus, even more terrifying power was being amassed.

Countless enormous corrupted tentacles rose slowly, like millions of poised venomous serpents, with a sticky, dark green cursed torrent flowing across their surfaces, exuding a despairing aura that decayed even space.

True Martial’s deep breaths were like a damaged bellows, with dark golden blood constantly dripping from the corners of her mouth and shield’s edges, scorching tiny pits into the foul swamp.

She fiercely supported the giant shield of the Northern Nether Vault, which was covered with web-like cracks and flickering star maps. The earthy Divine Light tried its best to flow, attempting to repair those shocking wounds, but the efforts were in vain.

Every surge of Divine Light was accompanied by a slight cracking sound on the shield’s surface, as if this shield that had once defied the concentrated attacks of Profound Immortals could crumple completely under the sustained pressure of a Golden Immortal Level.

From Shennong’s brow seeped fine beads of sweat, with the gentle-as-jade World-Purifying Glazed Body’s pure light swaying uncertainly while countering the encroaching corruption Law.

Where the pure light intertwined and collided with the dark green Law vines, fine energy sparks burst apart continuously, each annihilation causing Shennong’s body to tremble slightly.

The Ten Thousand Epidemics Turbulent Flow he controlled had formed into a strained dam under the constant scourge of the cursed torrent of the Mucous Sea.

The range of the emerald golden light was continuously compressed, dimming as the dark green poisonous essence forced itself closer to the formation’s core.

The next moment.

Shen Fei’s cold, decisive voice echoed throughout every corner of the Sharp Arrow Formation: "Chi You, clear the path! Stabbing Immortal, target the core! Kunpeng, tear through space! Saintess, suppress All Laws Return to Ruins! Jasper Pool, accelerate recovery! Shennong, focus on purifying the environment and True Martial! Light God and Moon God, disrupt its perception!"

"Roar——!!!"

In response to Shen Fei was Chi You’s savage roar shattering the void.

On his vast demon body, the Chaos Demon Flame erupted after a brief silence, soaring upward and incinerating the surrounding filthy aura into distorted vapors.

The Demon Prison Profound Embryo Scripture was operated to unprecedented extremes, with the newly fused Abyss Demon General’s demonic scales on his surface bursting forth with dark luster.

Several amplifications emerged one after another, while Shennong also applied various enhancements to Chi You.

Boom! Chi You’s body, already as massive as a mountain, swelled further, with his muscles bulging, like the arrival of the Chaos God Demon opening the heavens and earth.

The terrifying amplification of tens of thousands of times the strength made space groan under the pressure of his sheer presence!

The tentacles formed from the corrupted curse dark green of the Master of the Mucous Sea kept crawling over Chi You’s demon scales, emitting sizzling corrosion sounds.

Though burnt and halted by the demon flames, they stubbornly left scorched marks, hampering his movements, while his crimson Demon Eyes locked intensely onto the forest of colossal corrupted tentacles standing before him like a forest of death.

"Break——for the honor——!"

The refashioned Tiger Soul Demon Saber emitted an excited hum, the abyssal demonic patterns adorning its blade suddenly brightening.

Chi You stepped forward, causing the Rotting Swamp Continent beneath him to collapse thunderously, as he wielded the demon saber entwined with the Power of Annihilation from the Ancestral Holy Fist - Dao Decay in the most brutal and violent stance and plunged boldly into the core of the tentacle forest!

Slash! Thud! Boom!!!

The saber light and fist shadow swept over like a world-ending torrent.

Tentacles as thick as mountains, capable of crushing stars.

Before the tens of thousands of times amplified Tiger Soul Demon Saber, they were easily severed and torn like rotten wood!

Wherever the fist gang imbued with the Dao of Annihilation struck, the tentacles shattered directly, transforming into a cascading flood of foul pus and blood!

Wherever Chi You passed, a short-lived pathway of severed limbs, tainted blood, and annihilation aura was forcibly carved through the overwhelming web of tentacles.

The Mucous Sea, as if angered by his savage assault, roared deafeningly, with more and thicker tentacles probing from the mucous fluid, frantically whipping and entangling this Demon God!

Nevertheless, Shen Fei firmly locked onto every detail of Chi You’s charge.

He clearly saw that Chi You’s indestructible demonic body, capable of withstanding Profound Immortals and even briefly enduring the remnants of Golden Immortal forces, was slowing down in recovery under the continuous corrosion of the Golden Immortal Level curse.

Moreover, in places where the tentacles whipped or the cursed vines entangled him, the newly birthed demon scales dulled noticeably, and the encompassing Chaos Demon Flame appeared increasingly exhausted.

Most crucially, the terrifying power of Chi You, capable of cleaving mountains and splitting seas or severing the tentacles, was greatly diminished when striking the core of the Mucous Sea’s main body or those thick, primary tentacles containing the core corruption Law.

Even though Chi You had devoured Huang Jun and absorbed part of his power.

"It’s totally reliant on numerical support, but the mastery over Law and Dao is forcibly suppressed." Shen Fei frowned, considering the gap between Profound Immortal and True Immortal.

The gap even exists between Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals, and it is a qualitative one.

Even Chi You, using Fire Cloud Grotto as a Grotto Heaven, was not surprising, for he himself was only considered a ’True Immortal’ level. His condensed Human Emperor Dao once relied on quantity to inflict horrific damage on Profound Immortals.

But the two qualitative differences severely weakened Chi You’s damage output.

Chi You must continue extracting traits, and they must be oriented towards physical strengthening and explosive power.

Although there is a significant qualitative gap, with Shennong’s amplifications and True Martial sharing the damage, along with various damage immunities.

Even if it doesn’t achieve complete effectiveness against a Golden Immortal, it can keep Chi You from being instantly obliterated. As long as it’s not a one-hit kill, Chi You can persist.

Moreover, he grows fiercer as the battle continues, with Chi You’s aura ascending continuously, as the abilities he devoured and mastered are continuously integrated by him, each strike severing the Mucous Sea Master’s tentacles again and again.

Stopping the Master of the Mucous Sea from further spreading towards the Human Emperor Palace’s warriors.
