The green light formed into countless specks of green, wildly corroding, striking against, and chewing against Linley’s soul-protecting Sovereign artifact. Much like attacking a city, the many green spots were dispersed everywhere, with quite a few of the green spots wildly attacking the ‘bandage’ over the flaw.
Linley had spent two hundred years of work on the bandage, and as a result of his repair work, the bandage was now exceedingly sturdy.
Although it couldn’t compare to the other parts of the soul-protecting Sovereign artifact, it was still comparable to most ordinary soul-protecting artifacts.
“Crackle…” The bandage was quickly being depleted.
“Not good.” Linley felt that things were going wrong.
He immediately controlled his spiritual energy to help defend as well. As those jade-green spots ravenously slammed against the bandage, with a ‘bang!’, the bandage was finally broken through. Only a sliver of green spots remained, however. Linley’s spiritual energy wildly charged through, finally extinguishing the remnants of the energy.
Linley’s defense had held.
But…the repairs he had carried out on the soul-protecting Sovereign artifact over the course of two centuries were completely wiped out in this single attack.
At the same time…
The nine-headed silver serpent used its supreme technique as well. The black eyes in its nine enormous silver heads stared at Bebe, while at the same time, its body began to form into an enormous illusion. The nine-headed silver serpent began to activate its awe-inspiring innate divine ability…
“Swish!” “Swish!”
The nine-headed silver serpent’s nine pairs of eyes simultaneously shot out with nine rays of pitch-black light.
Eighteen rays of light shot towards Bebe. Bebe dodged, but the black light curved as though sentient, then pierced into Bebe’s pupils.
“Arrrrgh!” Bebe let out an agonized call.
Linley just finished his defense. Turning to look, Linley was shocked. “Bebe!”
“Not dead?” The colossal golden serpent, seeing that Linley had taken his attack without dying, couldn’t help but feel amazed. It knew very well how powerful this technique of his was…even ordinary soul-protecting divine artifacts wouldn’t be able to resist it.
“Haha…that was rather powerful.” Bebe suddenly began to laugh loudly as he stared furiously at the nine-headed silver serpent.
Linley couldn’t help but feel relieved.
“Impossible.” The nine-headed silver serpent couldn’t believe it. “This…his body is already so powerful. How could his soul be so powerful as well?” The heavens were equitable. Bebe’s body was already so tough that even the nine-headed silver serpent was jealous of him. With his body so powerful, logically speaking, his soul should be a bit weaker.
But…
Bebe had actually been able to endure his innate divine ability.
“I don’t want to kill you. Don’t go too far.” Linley shouted. He had come this time to ask the Sovereign for help. Linley had the feeling that these two giant snakes should have some sort of connection to the Sovereign, and so didn’t want to unleash killing attacks.
“Roaaaaaaaaaaaaar!” The colossal golden snake wasn’t the slightest bit receptive to this. With a bellow, it suddenly shot forward, spreading wide its maw and biting viciously towards Linley.
“His speed is actually so fast.” Linley was inwardly surprised.
However, Linley didn’t dare to allow himself be bitten by this colossal golden snake.
“Boss, let’s do it.” Bebe sent mentally.
“Hmph.” Linley stared at the attacking colossal golden snake. His eyes grew cold.
Behind Linley and Bebe, illusory blurs simultaneously appeared. Behind Linley was a coiling Azure Dragon Phantom, which was staring coldly at the colossal golden snake. As for Bebe, behind Bebe appeared the enormous illusion of a Godeater Rat, which was also staring at the nine-headed silver serpent!
Innate divine ability – Dragon Roar!
Innate divine ability – Godeater!
“BOOM!” Suddenly, the earth split apart, and large amounts of slender, long tendrils shot outwards, blocking directly in front of Linley and Bebe. The energy which Linley and Bebe had expended in using their innate divine abilities was directly blocked by these tendrils. Or, to be more precise…were all expended upon the tendrils.
Linley and Bebe were stunned.
The many branches and tendrils which were hit by these two mighty innate divine abilities weren’t affected at all. “Why is there no response?” Bebe couldn’t believe it. Suddenly, one of the tendrils shot backwards, landing upon Bebe’s body. Although it passed through the Blackstone Space, the speed at which this tendril struck out still was enough to make it impossible for Bebe to dodge.
“WHAP!” Bebe was struck and sent flying far away.
Red blood splattered out into the air.
“BANG!” Bebe slammed into the ground. He stared at his chest, where a wound that was so deep that bones were visible had appeared. Blood was dripping out of it. Bebe stared at his wound, stupefied.
Linley stared at this in disbelief as well.
Bebe was actually injured?
His body was comparable to a godspark weapon…but he was actually injured?
“Bebe.” Linley immediately moved to Bebe’s side. Bebe’s wound was naturally closing, but Bebe still stared at the branches in front of him in disbelief. These branches were clearly those of the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
“Enough. Killing their daughter was one thing. There’s no need to kill any further.” A deep voice rang out from within the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
Atop the main trunk of the Abyssal Fruit Tree, an enormous face suddenly appeared, hovering there and staring towards Linley and Bebe.
“This is…?”
Linley and Bebe both felt a powerful aura.
“Sovereign!” The colossal golden serpent and the nine-headed silver serpent immediately looked towards the Abyssal Fruit Tree and said hurriedly, “He killed our daughter. Sovereign, you cannot pardon them!”
“Sovereign?”
Linley and Bebe stared, stunned, at the Abyssal Fruit Tree.
