Chapter 397 - 398: The Past Forcefully Interrupted!
"Insect, answer me!"
But...
The Abyssal Demon Whale King’s question sank into the sea.
And seeing this group of humans who suddenly barged in, daring to ignore his existence, his eyes instantly burned with fiery rage.
The humiliation from being intimidated by that mysterious lord earlier was now all transformed into violent wrath against these weaklings before him.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly, the terrifying pressure of Totem Tier Five materialized and crashed towards Aster Grant and the others!
He wanted to use this absolute power disparity to make these ignorant ants kneel and beg for mercy!
However, the anticipated scene of bones breaking and muscles tearing, with them crawling on the ground, did not occur.
The overwhelming pressure rushed forward, only to be forcibly blocked by Lazuli and Vera standing at the forefront!
"Hmm?"
The Abyssal Demon Whale King’s pupils narrowed slightly, his heart filled with uncertainty.
"To actually withstand my pressure? These Monarch Level... are peculiar!"
He immediately realized something was amiss.
The average Monarch Level would have already collapsed mentally under his full pressure.
Yet, this group before him not only showed no sign of fear but also looked calm, even with an expression of...
Assessment?
"Could it be... they are with the frightening presence inside?"
A thought flashed through the Demon Whale King’s mind like lightning.
Indeed!
If they had no dependence, how could a group of Monarch Level dare to venture here, and remain so composed?
Thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the impulse to act immediately, his tone softened somewhat, probing as he asked:
"Are you... with the lord inside?"
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant’s brow furrowed slightly.
The lord inside?
Is there someone else in the core area of this relic?
He swiftly exchanged a glance with Lazuli and Vera, each seeing the same confusion in the other’s eyes.
Looks like someone got ahead of them!
They couldn’t afford to waste time now!
"Lazuli, Vera, take action!"
Aster Grant no longer hesitated, decisively issuing the command.
"Yes, Master!"
As soon as the command was given, two surging auras burst forth in response!
"Destruction Angel Form!"
Lazuli shouted clearly, emitting a chaotic aura of destruction all around.
An infernal sword burning with dark red flames instantly condensed!
The next moment it hacked towards the Abyssal Demon Whale King.
Vera was not one to fall behind either.
"Life Spirit Form!"
Vera pressed her hands lightly, countless emerald vines embodying the Law of Life appeared, reaching towards the Abyssal Demon Whale King.
Faced with this sudden attack, the Abyssal Demon Whale King was startled and furious!
Amazed at the other side’s imposing strike far beyond a regular Monarch Level, having reached the Totem Level!
Angry at these insects actually daring to take action against him, the king!
"Despicable insects, courting death!"
The Demon Whale King roared furiously, not daring to be slow, his arms suddenly crossing in front of his chest.
A massive and heavy giant water shield appeared instantly!
"Boom——!!!"
The Sword of Destruction slashed fiercely onto the water shield, erupting with a huge sound!
A violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring, pushing back even the dense Time Law fog around by a bit!
The water shield trembled violently, fine cracks appearing on its surface, but it did not shatter immediately!
Meanwhile, Vera’s Withered Vine had already entangled the lower part of the Demon Whale King.
However, those vines that could instantly drain the vitality of low-tier Totem Level vicious beasts, emitted "sizzle" sounds of burning upon contact with the Demon Whale King’s body, with significantly reduced effect!
With one strike, both sides were shocked!
Lazuli and Vera exchanged a glance, seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.
Their combined strike was unexpectedly blocked by the seemingly hasty defense of the opponent!
This Demon Whale King’s strength was much more formidable than any adversary they had encountered before!
Even within Totem Tier Five, it might be among the strongest.
But the Abyssal Demon Whale King’s horror was even greater!
He had thought he could easily crush the opponent, not expecting the attacks of these two to be so sharp!
The Power of Laws contained in that Sword of Destruction was exceptionally high-level, nearly breaking through his defense!
The vine was also extremely peculiar, actually extracting his Life Force!
His pupils trembled.
This was nowhere near Monarch Level?
They were evidently two feet stepping into the realm of Totem Level powerhouses!
Yet the only good news was...
The strength of these two Beastbonds was not very high, if he were serious, he could crush them.
Meanwhile, Aster Grant observed the battle intently.
Although Lazuli and Vera were strong, facing a Totem Tier Five vicious beast, the disparity was too great.
He had to act!
A flash of insight appeared in Aster Grant’s eyes, no longer holding back!
"Soul-devouring—activate!"
The violent amplification effect took effect, instantly doubling all attributes gained by Lazuli and Vera!
"Divine Pattern—awaken!"
The golden Divine Pattern hovering above Aster Grant’s head glowed brightly, with all three Divine Patterns’ power continuously pouring into Lazuli and Vera’s bodies!
Under the dual heaven-defying amplification stack!
"Boom——!!!"
Lazuli and Vera’s aura soared crazily as if rocketed skyward!
The radiance emanating from all around them was so dazzling it was hard to look directly!
The fluctuations of Destruction and Life’s Laws surged explosively several to many times over, almost condensing into substance!
The Time Law in the entire relic core area was intensely disturbed, starting to oscillate violently!
"What?! This is impossible!"
The Abyssal Demon Whale King was astonished to find the opponent’s aura transforming drastically in an instant, stunned!
This level of power...
It had completely reached the same level as him!
His gaze locked onto Aster Grant.
This human... what kind of monster is he?!
...
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the relic, before that azure blue light curtain.
Isabelle’s delicate hand pressed gently against the light curtain, the power of Time Law like a gentle stream.
Gradually enveloping her consciousness, tracing up the river of time, pursuing those forgotten pasts.
On the light curtain, the images flowed.
Initially, it was the vast Dragon Island, with a dazzling golden dragon egg hatching under the gaze of all.
A cute little golden dragon curiously poked its head out...
That was her birth.
The images quickly flickered, her carefree childhood, growing up under the Dragon Emperor’s protection, showcasing astonishing Talent, with Power escalating rapidly...
Everything seemed so ordinary, completely in line with a dragon clan’s growth trajectory.
Her gaze remained calm, these memories though blurry, did not exceed her expectations.
Until...
In the images, appeared a strange, war-torn territory.
And above this territory, a tall, black-haired black-eyed human figure.
Isabelle held her breath, her heart uncontrollably racing.
She had finally found him!
Found that man!
But... what exactly was their relationship?
Gratitude?
Friendship?
It would soon be revealed.
Just as she focused entirely, trying to see the further developments...
"Boom——!!!"
A sky-shattering loud noise, accompanied by a terrifying energy storm, suddenly came from the core area’s perimeter!
The intense shock even affected this relatively independent space.
The azure blue light curtain shook violently once, with the pictures upon it also becoming blurry and distorted!
Isabelle’s pursuit was forcibly interrupted!
