Chapter 780: The Tenth Layer? Colossal Beast! Silver Moon Wolf King
Yet even as he said this, Jiangnan had absolutely no clue what was going on!
He didn't even know where this place was!
The only thing giving Jiangnan any sense of reassurance was that there was no Spirit-Binding Field here—he could use his supernatural abilities and spiritual power!
Raising his hand, he flung out a Void Chain and tightly bound Xia Yao to himself!
No matter what, he couldn't afford to lose her!
If he lost her here, he'd never find her again.
Only now did Jiangnan have the leisure to observe his surroundings!
All around was pitch black, cold, and eerily silent. Both of them were in a state of weightlessness!
Floating fragments of earth and rock were everywhere. Jiangnan even spotted half a leg?
Just then, the air around them gradually grew thinner!
The air they had just inhaled was also being diluted?
Could this place be, like, outer space or something?
Jiangnan quickly took a deep breath and pulled two oxygen tanks out of the Alternate Dimension!
He gave one to himself and one to Da Lang Mie, and they started breathing immediately!
If there were no living conditions, then they'd create them!
Whatever this place was, he was determined to be the one who survived the longest!
Da Lang Mie: (◦❛ัɷ❛ั◦)☞
"Woo—woo woo ha woo woo?"
(Xiao Nan! What is that?)
Even though she was biting on the breather, Xia Yao's words were garbled, but Jiangnan still understood!
He followed where Xia Yao was pointing and looked over!
Jiangnan's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with shock!
Σ(｡Ŏ口Ŏ): "Holy crap!"
In the distance of the dark space, there was an enormous landmass, no smaller than an average Lingxu!
Its area was estimated to be around seventy to eighty thousand square kilometers! Nearly half the size of a province, and it looked incomplete and damaged!
All around it were fragments of rock, forming a spectacular debris belt!
There seemed to be a thin film over it, something like an atmosphere!
On the landmass, faint signs of vegetation could be seen!
But what shocked Jiangnan the most wasn't the landmass!
It was a colossal beast crouching on that landmass!
Like a fat cat squatting on a table!
Its size probably had to be measured in kilometers!
It was unimaginably huge—any Godzilla or King Kong probably wouldn't even reach the height of its toenails!
The beast had four legs and a long, narrow tail! On its forehead grew three crystalline horns, emitting a dazzling ten-colored light!
It looked like a chubby triceratops?
Its body was semi-transparent, in a Bose state, the same property as Jiang Ning and Jiang Jing!
Was this a Bose Beast?
Could Bose Bodies take animal forms? And why did this one have three horns?
Jiangnan was genuinely terrified. What level was this thing?
"Da Lang Mie! We didn't accidentally time-travel or something, did we?"
Xia Yao was also utterly stunned. No one would believe this if she told them!
Jiangnan was astonished to notice that the Bose Beast had its mouth wide open, frantically sucking something out of the void!
Its body converted whatever it was into streams of ten-colored energy that surged into the landmass!
Under the effect of that energy, the landmass began to slowly grow!
Jiangnan was confused. Was it building a Lingxu?
Could the Lingxu under this Bose Beast's feet actually be the tenth layer of the Abyss?
Xia Yao tugged on Jiangnan's sleeve: "What do we do?"
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "Let's go over there! I don't know what's going on, but at least there are living conditions there!"
"Otherwise, floating around here, we won't last long!"
As he spoke, he hugged Xia Yao and teleported straight toward the landmass!
But after just two teleports, Jiangnan winced in pain. His arm was suddenly torn open by a vicious wound, blood streaming down!
Turning his head, he saw a Space Rift quietly hanging in the void behind him!
It was pitch black all around; if he hadn't been paying attention, he wouldn't have seen it!
Jiangnan pulled out a high-intensity flashlight and shone it around—then shivered uncontrollably!
Space Rifts were everywhere, densely packed, drifting all over the place!
And he was teleporting blindly around here?
He was lucky he hadn't been sliced to pieces just now!
Gritting his teeth, Jiangnan created a Small Ginseng: "What kind of hellish place is this?"
As he spoke, he pulled out the Vendor Cloth and barely wrapped it around himself and Xia Yao!
He carefully searched for open spaces without Space Rifts, cautiously teleporting toward the landmass!
After a journey fraught with danger, they finally neared the tenth layer!
But just then, the Bose Beast suddenly threw its head back and let out a furious roar!
Its expression was pained, as if it were mourning!
The roar was filled with countless complex emotions, all released at once!
In an instant, a visible circular wave of blue Spiritual Wave spread outward from the beast's head!
It expanded rapidly in all directions!
Jiangnan: !!!
So this Bose Beast was the source of the Spiritual Wave?
The Abyss's anomaly was probably caused by it!
Damn!
If that terrifying Spiritual Wave hit them head-on, they'd be turned into vegetables for sure!
Jiangnan could only curl up his body, hug Xia Yao tightly, and wrap the Vendor Cloth around them as best he could!
But the Vendor Cloth couldn't cover every part of both their bodies completely!
Without hesitation, Jiangnan shielded Xia Yao, covering her entire body!
But he didn't notice that half his head was still exposed!
"Boom!"
The blue Spiritual Wave swept past in an instant. Xia Yao, protected by the Vendor Cloth, escaped unharmed!
She only felt Jiangnan's hand around her waist loosen a little. She looked up!
Jiangnan had lost consciousness, blood streaming from his seven orifices from the impact of the Spiritual Wave!
Xia Yao panicked. She gently shook Jiangnan!
"Xiao Nan? Xiao Nan, wake up, please! Don't leave me alone here!"
"I... I..."
She quickly pressed her ear to his chest to listen for his heartbeat!
It was still beating! He was alive!
But unconscious, he couldn't breathe the air from the oxygen tank!
In a short while, Jiangnan's face had turned blue!
Xia Yao hurriedly took a deep breath from her tank, pinched Jiangnan's nose shut!
And blew the air into his mouth, mouth-to-mouth!
Again and again, until Jiangnan's complexion improved a little!
But then Xia Yao noticed that because they were so close to the landmass, they had already passed the debris belt!
The gravity of the landmass had caught them!
They began to fall downward. That wasn't the worst part—the problem was that the entire path was filled with Space Rifts!
If they fell straight down, they would definitely be minced into meat filling!
Xia Yao continued blowing air into Jiangnan while wrapping the Vendor Cloth tightly around him!
She didn't know what kind of cloth this was, but just now Xiao Nan had wrapped her in it, and it seemed to block Space Rifts!
However, this left Xia Yao's arms and calves exposed!
But Xia Yao didn't care. As they fell faster and faster,
the Space Rifts they brushed against left bloody scratches on her calves and arms!
It hurt so much that Xia Yao cried, but she endured the pain and kept blowing air into Jiangnan to keep him from suffocating!
"Pop~"
They pierced through the film and plunged into the landmass!
They fell faster and faster, with only the howling wind in their ears. There was air now!
Jiangnan's chest rose and fell steadily as he finally regained the ability to breathe on his own!
Xia Yao could only hold Jiangnan tightly as they crashed into the ground like a meteorite!
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, the earth was blasted into a pit!
Xia Yao was covered in dust, her arms and calves bloodied, but she had no time to tend to herself!
She hurriedly checked Jiangnan's injuries. Seeing that he was still intact, breathing evenly, and had no serious wounds, she finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Happily, she said: "Xiao Nan! This cloth of yours is amazing! We fell from such a height and we're fine! This place..."
Halfway through her words, Xia Yao's lips quivered again, and big tears began to fall!
She shook Jiangnan's shoulder and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Nan, please wake up, okay? I'm so scared here all by myself..."
But Jiangnan remained unconscious, showing no signs of waking up!
Xia Yao rubbed her eyes and began to observe the surroundings!
The sky was dark, with only faint glimmers from some vegetation. The space here was even more fragile than the ninth layer!
In just a short while, she saw several moderate-sized Space Rifts sweeping across the sky!
And in the debris belt, rocks were often captured by gravity and fell to the ground, creating huge craters!
It was like a broken, desolate world!
Standing here, looking at that Bose Beast, she could feel its enormity even more!
Just one glance made Xia Yao's entire body tremble!
Fortunately, there were no Spirit-Binding mines here; it wasn't a resource layer, so she could use her supernatural abilities and spiritual power!
But before Xia Yao could finish scouting the terrain,
red dots began to flicker in the dense forest. One by one, spirit beasts emerged from the woods!
Their fangs were sharp, drooling, and their eyes held nothing but brutality and madness!
Clearly, they had been attracted by the smell of blood!
Xia Yao gritted her teeth, crouched slightly, and immediately activated her Half-Beast Transform!
But spirit beasts swarmed in from all directions, encircling the two of them in the center!
Among them were even two Diamond-ranked Black Rock Leopards!
At the moment, Xia Yao was only at Gold Peak!
Xia Yao's heart sank to the bottom!
She took off the wolf-fang necklace she always wore around her neck and tied it around Jiangnan's wrist!
She also removed her Blood-Drinking Wolf Claws and fastened them around Jiangnan's waist!
Then Xia Yao's eyes turned completely silver, and the beastly instincts hidden within her body were fully unleashed!
Her silver hair grew wildly, and her body underwent violent changes, tearing through her clothes!
"Full Beast Transformation: Silver Moon Wolf King!"
In an instant, Xia Yao transformed into a massive white wolf nearly thirty meters long!
Her silver-white fur glowed brilliantly even in the darkness!
This was Xia Yao's first time using Full Beast Transformation in battle!
Xia Yao let out a low growl: "Blood Incineration!"
Her body swelled again, this time reaching a staggering thirty-five meters!
Rolling white steam rose, and her form became even more agile!
"Howl~"
A wolf's howl erupted, carrying the Dao Heaven-level Silver Moon Wolf King's pressure within Blood Incineration!
Under the wolf's howl, many Gold-level spirit beasts' legs trembled involuntarily!
As for the Diamond-ranked Black Rock Leopards, they paced anxiously, scraping at the ground!
Xia Yao bared her fangs, circling around Jiangnan, who lay in the pit, letting out low growls from her throat!
As if she was staking her claim, her silver wolf eyes were full of ferocity!
"Come on, you beasts!"
"As long as I'm still standing, you won't lay a single claw on Xiao Nan!"
In the next breath, the Black Rock Leopard leaped to attack! Xia Yao opened her jaws and ruthlessly bit into its throat, blood splattering everywhere!
Her wolf claws swung out, leaving deep gashes across its belly!
The slaughter had begun!
