Chapter 385: Displaying His Might
As a furious roar that shook the heavens rang out, the humanoid bat monster suddenly underwent a transformation.
Its body expanded like an inflating balloon—ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...
In the end, it became a towering existence over a hundred meters tall, resembling both a human and a bat, standing upright within the canyon.
In the next instant, as it opened its enormous blood-filled maw, the resentment and energy contained within the Blood Sea Secret Realm continuously gathered toward it, and its aura directly surpassed the Transcendent level.
Although it had not yet reached the Legendary level, it had already become an existence that no Transcendent expert could resist.
Faced with this sudden change, Zhou Ming and the others had already chosen to flee. None of them intended to wait for the monster to finish transforming before escaping.
Anyone who knew there was danger yet still refused to run could never have advanced to the Transcendent Rank, because they would have already died in some unknown corner long ago.
As the Ghost King and the others fled, they continued pursuing Zhou Ming at the same time.
After all, the amount of Bloodspring Spirit Liquid in Zhou Ming's possession was comparable to theirs.
However, before they could escape the Blood Sea Secret Realm, a crimson pillar of light seemed to pierce through space itself, instantly killing one of the Transcendent experts.
Before Zhou Ming and the others could even react, the space before them shattered like a mirror, and the hundred-meter-tall monster appeared before them like a towering mountain, blocking their path.
Its body was enveloped in a layer of black clouds resembling an innate force field, from which an overwhelming resentment could be clearly felt.
The terrifying pressure caused the ground to collapse, and Zhou Ming and the others tacitly chose to resist together.
“Everyone, if we don't join forces and kill it, then with its ability to freely traverse space within the Secret Realm, every one of us will die here today.”
As the uninvited outsider, Zhou Ming could only offer his suggestion in a deep voice under the current circumstances.
The monster, which had already fallen into a state of fury, gave the Ghost King and the others no time to think as a roar powerful enough to shatter the earth suddenly erupted.
With life and death hanging in the balance, everyone attacked together without hesitation.
Spell after spell and combat technique after combat technique surged upward like Flood Dragon Serpents swimming against the current, confronting the terrifying sonic assault head-on.
“Boom...”
Like the detonation of a nuclear bomb, a mushroom cloud carrying an aura of destruction rose within the Blood Sea Secret Realm.
Including Zhou Ming, all of the Transcendent experts were blasted toward the ground like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
Fortunately, although the monster's attack was devastating, it was still insufficient to kill them on the spot.
Since Zhou Ming and the others had survived, the monster naturally had no intention of stopping its assault.
At this moment, Elder White Whale took the initiative to step forward.
“All War Knights, gather around me.”
“Beast Tamers of the other professions, provide long-range support.”
Standing atop his Beast, Elder White Whale immediately issued his orders.
There was no time for hesitation as several Transcendent experts who had advanced as War Knights rapidly gathered together.
The War Knights immediately unleashed a Combined Strike Skill.
The auras, spiritual power, and life force of the Beast Tamers and their Beasts resonated with one another in an instant.
With Elder White Whale at the center, several Combined Strike Skills merged together like countless rivers flowing into the sea, producing energy fluctuations so powerful that even Zhou Ming's heart began racing.
A pillar of light that shattered the very space of the Blood Sea Secret Realm suddenly erupted.
Meanwhile, the other Transcendent experts had already unleashed all kinds of control-type spells, desperately restricting the monster's movements to prevent it from evading the attack.
Although Zhou Ming also joined them, he still maintained a safe distance from the Ghost King and the others.
In an instant, the pillar of light formed by the fusion of the Combined Strike Skills pierced straight through the monster's body.
A massive hole more than ten meters in diameter appeared before everyone's eyes.
However, before anyone could celebrate, the injuries suffered by the monster began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not daring to hesitate for even a moment, everyone continued launching attacks. Compared to before, however, they were clearly beginning to run out of strength.
When blood-red ripples spread around the monster, everyone who had been desperately attacking suddenly felt the blood within their bodies begin to boil.
“This is bad.”
Seeing that the situation was about to reverse, Zhou Ming no longer intended to conceal his true strength.
Otherwise, even if he used every method at his disposal, he still would not be able to confront the fully healed monster head-on.
Just as everyone felt the aura of death enveloping the surroundings, Zhou Ming completely unleashed his own power, directly transforming into his Molted Giant Serpent form and entering his strongest state.
“Buy me three breaths of time.”
The aura Zhou Ming displayed was already comparable to that of a High-level Transcendent Rank expert. Although the Ghost King and the others were somewhat shocked by Zhou Ming's true strength, they still did exactly as he instructed.
After all, if they failed to eliminate the monster before them, none of them would leave the Blood Sea Secret Realm alive.
The momentum of the group, which had begun to decline, immediately surged again as everyone unleashed their ultimate killing moves with all their might.
The monster, which had just been about to act, was once again bombarded by an endless stream of attacks.
Innate spells, Combined Strike Skills, and Outstanding-grade equipment abilities displayed power sufficient to split mountains and sever rivers.
The collision of countless energy particles of different attributes triggered a terrifying energy storm that swept across several kilometers with overwhelming force.
The monster was indeed powerful, but it ultimately had not reached the Legendary level. Faced with so many formidable attacks, it could only defend itself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Ming mobilized every ounce of power within his body and unleashed his greatest trump card.
Gathering Sand · Poison Art · Withering Flower Spell.
Compared to the Withering Flower he had cast in the past, this one had reached the greatest power in its entire history.
Inkband and Colorful Scales had both advanced to Lord-level Ferocious Beasts, Zhou Ming himself had successfully broken through to the Mid-level Transcendent Rank, and Colorful Scales' snake venom greatly amplified the power of the Withering Flower.
As Zhou Ming, in his Molted Giant Serpent form, opened his enormous jaws, an enchanting purple flower slowly emerged before everyone's eyes.
Without giving it any thought, the Ghost King and the others instinctively distanced themselves from Zhou Ming. This was the first time they had experienced such a clear sensation of death.
The warning from their instincts felt like steel needles stabbing into their brains.
The monster, which had already recovered most of its injuries, also sensed the disturbance caused by Zhou Ming and immediately attempted to interrupt the spell.
However, it was already too late.
Thanks to the time bought by the Ghost King and the others, the flower nurtured within deadly poison finally began to bloom before slowly withering.
Although the process appeared slow, as the purple petals sliced through space, terrifying poison instantly enveloped the monster.
“Boom...”
A roar filled with agony echoed through the Secret Realm, causing everyone to feel their blood boiling once again, forcing them to fall from the sky back onto the ground.
However, amidst that roar, the monster born from the corpse of the Legendary Blood Clan could no longer launch a proper attack.
The vitality within its body was rapidly fading, and the flesh that had been capable of endlessly regenerating its injuries gradually turned ashen white.
With the assistance of more than twenty Transcendent experts, the monster was unable to withstand Zhou Ming's Withering Flower Spell.
Still retaining enough strength, Zhou Ming seized this opportunity to bypass the monster, which had already crashed to the ground, and escaped from the Blood Sea Secret Realm at the fastest possible speed.
“Ten Thousand Snakes is trying to escape!”
Elder White Whale immediately shouted.
“With our current condition, if we continue pursuing Ten Thousand Snakes, I believe most of us will die here.”
“We might as well recover our losses from the monster before us.”
Seeing Zhou Ming leave, the Ghost King had no intention of pursuing him and instead voiced his own thoughts.
Everyone looked at the monster, which had lost its previous ferocity, then exchanged glances before silently nodding in agreement.
Although Zhou Ming's spell clearly had certain limitations, after personally witnessing the terrifying power of the Withering Flower, none of them had the courage to make a move against him anymore.
Having reached a decision, everyone immediately began beating the fallen monster mercilessly, making sure it would have no opportunity to counterattack.
