Chapter 888: Immortality and Transformation
Under the erosion of the red moon, the sea beast nurses Lin Qiye had summoned earlier had already begun to lose their coherence, and the anglerfish could no longer shelter the defenseless Jialan in the deep sea. So Lin Qiye had no choice but to reluctantly activate the [Skyward Bard], allowing Jialan to survive at the bottom of this deep sea.
At times like this, the benefits of having multiple abilities become apparent.
Seeing that Jialan had recovered, Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned at Jialan clinging to his back and spoke with feigned annoyance:
"Using [Immortality] on me here? Are you trying to die?!"
Jialan looked wronged as she said, "Didn't you tell me to improvise? I couldn't just watch you die here."
Lin Qiye was speechless.
After a moment, he shook his head and instructed, "You can't do this again in the future. It's too dangerous."
Jialan buried her head in his back and said nothing.
"Did you hear me?" Lin Qiye's tone became more forceful.
"Oh..." Jialan whispered in response.
"Take back [Immortality]."
"No."
"Take it back!"
"No!" Jialan paused, then murmured like a gnat, "If I take it back, he'll kill you..."
Lin Qiye was stunned.
Dense lightning vortexes surged through the seawater. Above the dark sea, Chen Yangrong had half his body thrust out from the stomach wall, his eyes crimson red, as he looked down at the sinking Lin Qiye with a ferocious sneer.
Lin Qiye felt the warmth from his back and was silent for a moment. He gently placed his hand on Jialan's fingers that were tightly wrapped around his waist and softened his voice:
"Then wait until I kill him, and you can take it back, okay?"
"...Okay."
Lin Qiye moved his hand away from hers and slowly gripped the handle of [White Slash] at his waist. In his eyes, the near-extinguished golden flames blazed like a furnace once more!
Under the protection of [Immortality], the emotional erosion of the red moon could no longer affect him. He stood calmly at the bottom of the blood-tinged deep sea where lightning surged, like a volcano about to erupt—calm, furious, with killing intent that pierced the heavens!
Clang—!!
A soft sound, and the long blade was drawn!
Lin Qiye carried Jialan on his back, his form turning into a streak of night, rapidly darting through the deep sea vortex.
In truth, with [Immortality], Lin Qiye could completely ignore all attacks and rush straight at Chen Yangrong to unleash a barrage of blows. However, Jialan was still clinging to his back—any attack landing on him would be a lethal blow to her!
So he had to dodge even more carefully than before, with absolutely no room for error.
Chen Yangrong frowned as he watched Lin Qiye charge up again, full of vitality. The surrounding stomach walls twisted and churned, bursting forth massive black tentacles as thick as skyscrapers, thunderously slamming down toward the streak of night darting through the vortex.
"Klein"-level strength was no joke. Even though Chen Yangrong's cultivation was but an unsteady castle in the air, these terrifying tentacles alone could flatten an entire city in ten minutes.
Dozens of skyscraper-sized black tentacles came crashing down. Lin Qiye's brow furrowed slightly. He tightly gripped Jialan's wrist at his waist and activated [Night Blink], instantly vanishing from his position.
When he reappeared, he had risen nearly a thousand meters in the deep sea.
"Cough cough cough..." Jialan on his back coughed violently.
The spatial displacement caused by [Night Blink] placed tremendous strain on an ordinary person's body. Jialan had merely traveled along with Lin Qiye once, yet it was like she had run a marathon—exhausted beyond measure.
As Lin Qiye was about to activate [Night Blink] once more, he heard Jialan's coughing and froze in place.
"Are you okay?"
"...I'm fine." Jialan shook her head. After hesitating, she still spoke up, "Seven Nights..."
"Mm?"
"Am I... slowing you down?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Watch carefully. I'll use your [Immortality]... to kill him."
Lin Qiye's left hand rose gently and pressed against the empty air. A massive purple magic circle unfurled beneath his feet, slowly rotating in the deep sea.
Dazzling light surged forth. The dark seawater churned around the magic circle. As Lin Qiye's figure submerged within, an ancient beast's roar echoed through the deep sea floor, sending ripples of water rippling outward.
A hundred-meter-tall colossal shadow emerged from the magic circle, churning the surrounding seawater like boiling water. Illuminated by the crimson lightning dancing nearby, its grayish-brown skin appeared deep and heavy. It stepped out of the magic circle, swimming nimbly through the turbulent waters. Along its sword-like spine, deep blue flames surged like a tide.
This was the "Klein"-level mega beast, Godzilla, that Lin Qiye had randomly summoned using "Miracle" years ago in Cangnan.
The difference was that Lin Qiye wasn't summoning it now—he was transforming into it.
[Transformation Magic]!
With the development of the Darkness Source, Lin Qiye had used transformation magic less and less. For one, the activation time of transformation magic was rather long; for another, in terms of destructive power, the frontal combat capability of transformation magic was quite mediocre. While shapeshifting could inherit some of a creature's original characteristics, more often than not, it was rather impractical.
But if combined with [Immortality], the situation would be entirely different.
Fierce and massive form, terrifying strength, and再加上 [Immortality]'s near-invincible defense—after transforming into a giant beast, Lin Qiye would absolutely be a nightmare-level existence capable of decimating the surface world.
Godzilla's massive form surged upward against the sea current. Several tentacles crackling with crimson lightning slammed down toward its head, only to be seized and gripped tightly by those thick arms.
The blood-red lightning traveled along the arms and danced across the grayish-brown skin, yet it couldn't cause Godzilla the slightest harm. Jialan's form was hidden beneath layers upon layers of thick scales, completely isolated from the world, suffering not a single scratch.
An angry roar echoed through the seawater. As Godzilla's hands tore and ripped, those tentacles were actually uprooted entirely from the stomach wall. Gore and flesh instantly blurred the area around Chen Yangrong.
Chen Yangrong's pupils constricted sharply.
The [Immortality]-enhanced Godzilla was like a fearless, ferocious beast, tearing a bloody path through the deep sea where tentacles surged, and rising rapidly amid a chilling roar. Draped in a coat of blood and gore, it floated before Chen Yangrong embedded in the stomach wall.
In the murky seawater, deep blue light danced along the giant beast's back, while those beast-like eyes filled with killing intent coldly fixed upon Chen Yangrong.
