Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Hunting the Divine Abomination, Kaelusa

With this thought in mind.

Su Ye gripped the Moonfall Halberd.

The third-tier magical treasure bloomed with silver light!

The next instant.

Su Ye swung it lightly.

SWISH!

A silvery, frost-colored halberd light, shaped like a Moon Arc, materialized from thin air!

In the blink of an eye, it tore through the atmosphere, covered more than a dozen li, and slashed toward the figure that had appeared in the royal palace!

The King of Aino!

He had already manifested his Bloodline True Form!

A Deer Demon form over ten meters tall, pale and wizened, with crimson eyes.

It was extremely similar to the Navasen Su Ye had once seen.

Or rather, Navasen had looked like him!

The Deer Demon path Marina had mastered was merely the common version of the royal family’s legacy.

The true royal legacy, however, could only be cultivated by mastering the Fertility Divinity!

Furthermore, only by possessing the Fertility Divinity could a bloodline user, after reaching the third tier, gain the ability to transform into one of the Goddess of Fertility’s mythical creatures—the Black Forest Deer!

In its Bloodline True Form, the power of a Black Forest Deer was not the least bit inferior to a Crystal-stage cultivator!

After all, they also possessed a manifestation of the Power of Rules—Divinity!

"You want to defeat me in one strike from over a dozen li away?!"

"You’re too arrogant, foreign Divine Scion!"

Faced with Su Ye’s casual strike, the King of Aino’s eyes went crimson as he let out a low roar.

VMMMM.

His hands transformed into a pair of beastly claws, their sharp edges glinting with a dark, cold light and emitting an astonishing Evil Qi!

Then, he swiped with his claws!

SWOOSH!

"Break... for me!"

The King of Aino bellowed, swinging his beastly claws to meet Su Ye’s halberd light!

However.

The moment his beastly claws touched the halberd light.

The look in his eyes changed drastically!

"This..."

A bone-chilling terror washed over him!

A tyrannical power that completely surpassed his limits erupted at that instant!

The King of Aino felt as if an unstoppable mountain was crashing down on him!

No!

That’s not right!

Even a mountain, he could have bored right through it with his Bloodline True Form active!

But now.

This...

After clashing for only a negligible instant.

WHOOSH!

The King of Aino’s body shot backward like a meteor!

"AHHHHHH!!!!"

His expression became utterly savage.

He squeezed out every last shred of power in his body, trying to stop himself!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The flesh and skin on his arms exploded layer by layer, revealing the stark white bone beneath!

His vision was completely covered in red—blood that had rushed into his skull from withstanding the extreme force!

THUMP!

The King of Aino flew backward all the way from the palace, blasted dozens of li away, and slammed violently into the city walls of Aino City!

His Bloodline True Form slowly dissipated, revealing his human body.

He was now embedded several meters deep into the city wall, like a swatted mosquito!

The King of Aino struggled, but he couldn’t move an inch. Humiliation was written all over his face.

’The mighty king, sent flying like a baseball by a halberd swung from over a dozen li away?!’

"Damn it..."

...

「Aboard the Ghostly Flood Dragon.」

Su Ye was taken aback, a little surprised.

’Seriously?’

’He’s that weak...’

Su Ye raised an eyebrow.

He quickly opened his attribute panel and was relieved to see that his World Rejection Level hadn’t increased.

’Phew...’

’Good, he’s not dead.’

Even with the buff from his divinity.

The King of Aino’s strength was only equivalent to the Early-stage Crystal realm.

The same tier as Su Ye.

And to Su Ye, cultivators of the same tier were complete pushovers, easy to crush!

His advanced Circulation Magical Power and attribute point buffs.

These two factors had laid a solid foundation for his invincibility against those of the same tier!

Right now, even without using the Ghostly Flood Dragon, Su Ye was comparable to a Late-stage Crystal cultivator!

With such power, it was easy for him to severely injure a third-tier bloodline user!

"Continue the bombardment. Destroy the Fertile Pyramid and force the Divine Abomination to appear!"

Su Ye’s gaze was calm as he stared at the Fertile Pyramid and issued the command.

It had to be said that after confirming the fall of the Goddess of Fertility, Su Ye’s methods had become much more brazen and aggressive.

Of course, he called it being efficient!

"Yes, Master!"

Jiaojiao’s face was glowing with excitement.

The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s cannons extended, unleashing a barrage of fire without restraint.

In the face of this saturation fire, it only took a few minutes for the surface of the Fertile Pyramid to be reduced to a shattered, cracked mess, almost completely leveled!

From within the pyramid’s ruins, countless motes of golden-white light flowed out like fireflies and dissipated into the air.

The power of faith.

The Fertile Pyramid was similar to an Orbit Array, its function being to collect the power of faith.

Over the long years, the pyramid had accumulated a considerable amount of faith power, which could fuel various restrictive formations.

This was originally the temple’s trump card.

But with the aid of Moluo’s memories, Su Ye had struck first, directly neutralizing this trump card!

’Next is to kill the Divine Abomination...’

Su Ye looked toward the ruins of the pyramid.

With his keen spiritual sense, he could already feel a sinister, evil, yet sacred aura rising from within as the pyramid was destroyed.

"Ahhh..." A long sigh suddenly echoed.

From the ruins of the pyramid, a withered, gaunt, and stooped humanoid figure slowly walked out!

Sunlight shone down upon it.

It stretched out its hands and, with a sense of deep nostalgia, tremblingly embraced the sun!

One could see its body shaking continuously as rotted linen clothes and dust that had settled for hundreds of years fell from it!

"Such beautiful sunlight!"

"One hundred years... two hundred years... or was it three hundred, four hundred?!"

"I! The great Kaelusa! After endless dark years, I finally see the sunlight once more!"

"Such a nostalgic, warm feeling..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But then, it suddenly raised its head, its golden pupils revealing a soul-shaking coldness as it met Su Ye’s gaze.

Its ferocious gaze was like that of a starving wolf, filled with greed!

"However, compared to the sunlight, I crave your flesh and blood even more... strange Divine Scion!"

"I can practically smell your vibrant divinity! Your fresh, beating heart! Your scorching, hot blood!"

"So delicious! So enticing!"

ROAR!

The corners of Kaelusa’s mouth suddenly split wide like a snake’s, tearing all the way to its earlobes!

Its fingernails rapidly elongated, and its flesh bulged with knotted muscles, transforming its hands into a pair of terrifying, blood-red claws!

Behind it, a long, bony, scale-covered tail rose up like a scorpion’s stinger!

Even more terrifying, a fist-sized eyeball, brimming with malice, grew out of its chest!

In just a brief moment, it transformed from a humanoid body into a deformed, twisted monster!

Or rather... it had revealed its true Divine Abomination form!

However... Su Ye’s attack was faster!

SWISH!

A streak of silver light flashed, like a comet striking the earth, piercing through clouds and sun!

"Whale-Hunting Spear!"
