Free Web NovelChapter 2055: Chapter 2055: The Terrifying Corpse Whale! The Ghost Ship Shows Its Might! Deploying the God Slaying Cannon!
"Boom!!"
Huge waves surged, crashing mightily.
A terrifying giant whale, at least ten thousand meters long, its whole body decaying, emitting a strong stench of a corpse, its mere appearance brought Mu Jinyu and his companions a suffocating sense of hopelessness.
"What the hell is this monster?"
Upon seeing this corpse whale appear, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but curse.
Then, as the corpse whale appeared, its scarlet eyes locked onto them.
Mu Jinyu felt an immense pressure, making him almost unable to breathe.
"This... should be the Spirit Guardian of the Underworld Ghost Sea, right?"
Ming was also taken aback by the sight of this terrifying corpse whale, then analyzed.
"So, if we want to leave, we have to fight it first?"
Mu Jinyu forced himself to stay calm and asked Ming.
He looked at the corpse whale more carefully, noticing many scars on its body and rotted flesh falling off, which seemed fresh.
So, it must be because the Earth Prince’s Descendant was preparing to leave the Underworld Ghost Sea, and this corpse whale had tried to stop him, ending up being beaten like this!
"Yes, we definitely need to defeat it to get out, otherwise we can’t leave!"
Ming affirmed.
"Otherwise, I’d say we’re quite lucky; this corpse whale’s strength has been reduced to less than thirty percent, so we still have a chance to defeat it and leave the Underworld Ghost Sea!" Ming added.
Mu Jinyu said, "Is this really less than thirty percent?"
He couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise—if this was considered less than thirty percent, what would it have been at full strength? How could he ever fight it?
He would probably have no choice but to turn tail and run, or risk being devoured!
"Do we still have the ability to fight?"
Mu Jinyu felt some doubt and therefore asked Ming, "Are we relying on you? Should we use the Earth Emperor’s Tome to fight it?"
He thought his own strength, even with the Riot-Quelling Sword and the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth, was nowhere near enough to blast this terrifying corpse whale.
So if Ming said they still had a chance to fight the whale, the qualification for such a battle must depend on them.
Only with the Ancestral Weapon of the Earth Emperor’s Tome might there be a slight chance to defeat the corpse whale!
Ming shook his head and said, "Of course not me; I’m not at full strength yet, otherwise cleaning up this little whale would be very easy."
"Not relying on you?"
Mu Jinyu frowned after hearing Ming’s response, asking, "If not on you, then what are we relying on?"
"Could it be this ship beneath us?"
Although he felt there was something special about the Underworld Ghost Ship, he hadn’t seen any offensive weapons on it—how could it combat this corpse whale?
Ming reminded, "Did you forget? It’s the God Slaying Cannon you’ve been fixing! That’s our means to blast it directly!"
"God Slaying Cannon?"
Mu Jinyu was dumbfounded by Ming’s reminder.
He had never thought they would rely on the God Slaying Cannon to defeat the corpse whale.
Though the God Slaying Cannon seemed powerful.
But given its current broken state, and with the Rune not yet fully repaired, could it really be used to blast the corpse whale?
In Mu Jinyu’s mind, the current power of the God Slaying Cannon seemed inferior to the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth!
Yet who would have thought, in Ming’s eyes, its destructive power not only surpassed the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth but was even stronger than the Earth Emperor’s Tome.
Mu Jinyu found this very surprising.
"Can the God Slaying Cannon really do it? It seems like it’s not fully repaired. Is it really stronger than your Earth Emperor’s Tome?"
Mu Jinyu asked incredulously.
Ming replied, "Of course, firstly the Earth Emperor’s Tome has major issues, currently unable to exert even one percent of its power. Secondly, the Earth Emperor’s Tome isn’t truly a weapon of slaughter—it’s still a bit lacking in attack power!"
"Most importantly, this corpse whale, if I’m not mistaken, was a member of the Divine Race in its life, so the God Slaying Cannon has a restraining effect on it!"
"Boom!!"
While the two were conversing.
Accompanied by a fierce roar, the corpse whale, seeing Mu Jinyu still not retreating, opened its mouth, unleashing an energy wave toward their sea vessel.
A pitch-black beam, brimming with the aura of endless death, charged straight for their Underworld Ghost Ship with unstoppable force!
"Damn!"
Seeing the corpse whale sneak attack them, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but curse.
"Ming, be ready; we might need to escape using the Naihe Bridge at any moment!"
Mu Jinyu said sternly to Ming.
"No need for that!"
Ming calmly said, "Though this ship indeed lacks offensive capabilities, it has incredibly strong defenses, otherwise it wouldn’t have remained intact after drifting in the Ghost Sea for hundreds of thousands of years!"
"Rest assured, the attacks from this corpse whale can’t destroy this ship!"
Mu Jinyu dared not be careless and urged, "Easy for you to say, but what if it doesn’t work? Better to prepare two plans!"
"Alright then!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu’s skepticism, Ming didn’t mind agreeing and then prepared to activate the Three Life Stone and Naihe Bridge at any moment.
"Boom!!"
Just as they finished speaking, the corpse whale’s dark destructive energy beam struck their ship head-on.
"Sizzle!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
However, even as the energy beam hit the ship, the ghost ship didn’t shake a bit, merely emitting arcs of black lightning which disappeared soon after.
It was as if no attack had ever occurred.
The energy beam seemed to have been swallowed by the Underworld Ghost Ship!
Mu Jinyu was equally stunned—this ghost ship was indeed impressive!
Such being the case, exchanging the Earth Emperor Bone Qi with the Earth Prince’s Descendant for this ghost ship seemed like a fair deal!
"See, I told you so!" Ming then said with a faint smile.
"Wow! I was scared to death..."
At this point, Wang Qingxue snapped out of her daze, though seeing the corpse whale’s attack nullified by their ghost ship!
Still vividly scared, she clutched Mu Jinyu’s arm, exclaiming in terror.
Mu Jinyu comforted, "Alright, stop yelling, it’s fine, cry later if you must..."
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Wang Qingxue, though still terrified, pursed her lips and released Mu Jinyu’s arm!
Then, following Ming’s directions, Mu Jinyu proceeded to take out the still dilapidated-looking God Slaying Cannon from his Qiankun Ring!
"Clunk!!"
The extremely heavy God Slaying Cannon was placed on the deck, emitting a heavy sound.
Mu Jinyu then turned the cannon towards the constantly roaring, wrathful corpse whale.
"Ming, how do we trigger this thing?"
Mu Jinyu pointed the cannon at the whale, suddenly realizing a problem.
Operating such a large destructive weapon definitely required vast energy; what kind of energy did the God Slaying Cannon need?
Ming answered, "The God Slaying Cannon was forged by our Human Race before any great transformation occurred in heaven and earth, so the best energy supply would be Top-Quality Grade Spirit Crystals!"
"But such Spirit Crystals are impossible to find now, so the second best choice is any kind of Divine Crystal, Demon Crystal, or Demon Crystal Source Crystal!"
"Otherwise, you’d have to use your Human Attribute to supply it, but with your cultivation, powering the cannon with your Human Attribute would drain you dry instantly!"
"So, using those Source Stones is the worst option!"
Ming said helplessly.
