Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 697 - 669: The Brilliant Pearl
A punch, with a staggering divine power of 120,000 pounds, Lin Tian's fist plunged directly into the flesh of the "Water Monster," which let out a miserable scream and roared so furiously in the water that it sent a water column spraying up to several dozen feet high.
Lin Tian withdrew his hand, bringing with him large chunks of flesh and blood, spraying it all over himself, turning into a bloodied man.
He leaped back, just as an unclaimed small boat was nearby, and he landed on it.
Activating Subdue the Heavens, Clairvoyance unfolded; through the pool water, he spotted a giant creature, a good twenty to thirty meters in length.
It had limb claws, and flat severed legs, upon closer look, it resembled a crocodile.
But a crocodile twenty to thirty meters long, that's just terrifying!
In his whole life, he had never seen such a long, such a large crocodile!
Not only had he never seen one, who has ever seen one like that!
While he was marveling, the giant crocodile launched another attack, this time not with its tail, but by opening its massive jaws and snapping at Lin Tian's small boat.
Although in the water, with Subdue the Heavens, Lin Tian saw it all clearly: the jaws opened wide, with a range of five meters; four fangs grew inside, each of them a meter long and thicker than a thigh, powerful and robust—forget about a wooden small boat, even an iron ship could be easily bitten through!
Facing such a huge beast, if one wasn't careful and got bitten, it would be so dire that there would be no place for tears.
He executed the Flight Technique promptly, rising into the air; his toes touched the surface of the pool water, and in combination with his superpower, he could stand on the surface of the water.
"Wow, that guy is incredible!"
"Is that even human? Have you ever seen a person who can stand on water?"
"God, a god...!"
..., ....
The crowd was astonished, and some of them immediately knelt on the ground and started worshiping Lin Tian.
Then, with a loud noise, the giant crocodile easily bit the wooden boat in two.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate to resort to his strongest method, the Godslayer Sword.
Once the Godslayer Sword was wielded, the sword light was dazzling, with boundless killing power; a surge of Sword Qi shot up into the sky, enough to compete with the sun and moon.
The giant crocodile, seeing the Godslayer Sword, appeared somewhat startled; although it lacked intelligence, it could still sense the terrifying and fierce aura emanating from the sword.
It dared not use its head to attack again and once more swung its tail, lashing at Lin Tian.
Hmph!
He sneered coldly, wielding the Godslayer Sword with all his might, the sword light radiant and edge peerless, easily splitting the crocodile's tail in two.
If his fleshly fist could penetrate the tail of the giant crocodile, all the more the Godslayer Sword.
The hundreds of pounds heavy tail was severed; blood sprayed the sky, falling into the pool water, and the originally clear water instantly turned blood red!
"Look, the divine being has severed the 'Water Monster's' tail!"
"Surely the two people who went missing a few days ago were also eaten by the water monster, divine being, kill it."
"Kill it, kill it...!"
The crowd shouted in unison, excited by Lin Tian severing half of the giant crocodile's tail.
Qianqian, who was nearby, also revealed a slight smile; Lin Tian was now taking the upper hand, and her heart, which had been hanging, finally settled.
The giant crocodile, its tail severed, writhed in agony in the pool water, creating huge waves.
The next moment, it lost all reason and furiously opened its jaws, lunging to bite down on Lin Tian.
Lin Tian swung his sword, slashing down with force.
Blood sprayed again, and one-third of the head was chopped off by Lin Tian with brute force, releasing an extremely thick scent of blood that spread around, the stench of blood making Lin Tian feel like vomiting.
To Lin Tian's surprise, the crocodile didn't die even with one-third of its head chopped off.
This vitality was just too tenacious!
Just like an indomitable cockroach!
But now, the giant crocodile finally submit; it didn't dare to fight Lin Tian anymore, and plunged into the depths, fleeing frantically.
Lin Tian quickly gave chase; he always felt there was something abnormal about this giant crocodile, even mysterious.
Firstly, why was it so big, comparable to a whale—do ordinary crocodiles grow that large?
Secondly, why didn't it die when a third of its head got chopped off, and furthermore, why could it swim away so quickly?
He had to kill this giant crocodile to find out the truth; if worse comes to worst, cut off a piece of its flesh for those scientists in white lab coats to research.
The giant crocodile swam fast, blood trailing; Lin Tian followed behind it, sniffing the scent of its blood.
Lin Tian could not catch up with it, nor could it shake him off; Lin Tian wasn't in a hurry, for at the rate it was bleeding, it would surely bleed to death within ten minutes!
However, after chasing for less than three minutes, he suddenly sensed a terrifying murderous intent—could there be an even more formidable creature ahead than the giant crocodile?
He slowed down his pace, and with Subdue the Heavens, looked ahead—bloody hell, it gave him quite the shock.
Ahead, suddenly appeared hundreds of fish: these were green fish, grass carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, and others commonly seen on the dining table. However, it seemed as if they were enchanted, swarming in groups, all baring sharp teeth, recklessly charging at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian's guess was not wrong; indeed, there was something fishy.
These fish, all being lower on the food chain, would usually run for their lives at the sight of people, but today, they were actually attacking Lin Tian.
It's too mysterious!
Anyway, let's deal with these fish first.
With his left hand, he activated the Ability Source, forming a protective shield around his body up and down. The durability of the shield was average, but it was more than enough against these fish.
In his right hand, he held the Godslayer Sword. He didn't wait for the swarm of fish to come near him before he started swinging wildly.
Layers of Sword Qi, like an electrified net, swiftly moved towards the swarm, cutting countless fish in two before they even realized what was happening, and they perished. fгeewebnovёl.com
Up ahead, the sea turned to blood once more, the thick stench of blood mixed with the salty pool water, inducing a nauseating feeling.
Lin Tian killed half of the fish, but the remaining half charged at him as if their lives didn't matter.
Lin Tian could only swing his sword in a frenzy, killing swathes of fish; yet, many still relentlessly slammed themselves against his protective shield.
He had underestimated the strength of these fish; some, even with bloodied broken heads, continued to ram themselves, some even to death. Eventually, they tore a hole in his protective shield, and a dozen bloodied fish, opening their small mouths, attacked him.
He protected his face with his fists, but his body was immediately riddled with over a dozen wounds.
Fighting as he retreated, the swarm of fish charged insanely at him. Although they posed no threat to his life, a bite from them was quite painful.
After seven minutes and retreating nearly a kilometer, Lin Tian finally killed off the entire fish swarm. His body was covered in over thirty gashes, his clothes and pants were torn to shreds, and he was drenched in blood, looking utterly pathetic.
In his lifetime, he never thought he would be bullied by a bunch of green fish, crucian carp, and grass carp.
He drank a healing potion to stop the bleeding and continued forward. The giant crocodile was strange, and these fish were even stranger. He was determined to see what was really going on inside!
Godslayer Sword held horizontally in front of his chest, he proceeded cautiously, ready to draw his sword and strike at the first sign of trouble.
"Roar...!"
A loud roar rang out, so intense that Lin Tian's eardrums hurt, and the familiar figure appeared once again.
It was the giant crocodile from before.
Just a moment ago, it had fled for its life; now, it lunged at Lin Tian as if its life depended on it.
What a drastic change! As if it was drugged—it seemed to have a split personality, or dual identities.
He swung his sword at the giant crocodile. This time, he exerted his full strength, aiming to kill the crocodile with one blow!
Once again, fresh blood sprayed forth, and Lin Tian completely severed the giant crocodile's huge head; it was undeniably dead.
As its head fell, its eyes were fierce, as though possessed, filled with enormous resentment towards Lin Tian.
He pushed forward, and the closer he got, the stronger the killing intent, overwhelming him until he felt like he could hardly breathe.
Then, the familiar glow appeared once more, those inexplicably vanished Light Points reemerged ahead of him.
He moved on, and suddenly, it was as if he had hit a wall. A force pushed him back.
Just by looking, there seemed to be nothing in front of him, just the blood-stained pool water.
He activated Subdue the Heavens and immediately saw intense fluctuations of True Yuan in front of him, forming a barrier in the water, preventing any creatures from outside from entering.
A naturally formed barrier suggested there must be treasure ahead.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Tian, with the Godslayer Sword in hand, swam towards the barrier.
Then, with both hands on his sword and his muscles bulging like a dragon's, he swing the sword with his 120,000 jin of mighty force against the barrier.
"Break for me!"
"Break!"
"Break!"
After three ferocious yells, the Godslayer Sword viciously struck the barrier, which emitted a brilliance like that of ten thousand lights. A powerful force rebounded from the barrier, tossing Lin Tian back like a sack, sending him flying thirty meters and leaving him bruised and dizzy, with a throbbing head.
As he steadied his mind and opened his eyes once more, he witnessed an astonishing scene.
A dazzling pearl, the size of a chicken egg, capable of competing with the sun and moon in brilliance, suspended right before his eyes, surrounded by a dozen Light Points that enhanced its splendor.
The brilliance of the Light Points dazzled a hundred times more than diamonds, yet the light of this chicken-egg-sized pearl was a hundred times more dazzling than the Light Points.
This pearl was the largest one Lin Tian had seen in his lifetime, and its radiance was the most dazzling light he had ever witnessed!
The entire pool was enveloped in this brilliance, as if another sun was slowly rising from the Heavenly Pool.
Onlookers at the shore also witnessed this magnificent event, the light of the pearl like a deity descending to the world, illuminating all living beings.
"Look, how beautiful!"
"So beautiful, so stunning."
"A divine presence, a celestial being descending."
"I must capture this spectacular sight."
"Hahaha...!"
…, ….
He Qianqian, who was watching from the side, also brought her palms together, praying and hoping.
She didn't believe in deities descending or celestial beings appearing; she assumed this supernatural phenomenon was likely connected to Lin Tian. At that moment, all she wished was for Lin Tian to be safe and sound!
