Free Web NovelChapter 341: Chapter 337: Sin’s Backlash, Slaying the Incarnation
At that moment, Su Ye realized he might have misjudged something.
’It seems... there’s no need to use a Quasi-Technique...’
’Did I underestimate the damage the Sea of Deep Blue could inflict on the Southern Deities?’
A flicker of pleasant surprise appeared in Su Ye’s eyes.
He could see it clearly.
After being struck by the Moonfall Halberd, the Titan Giant’s entire body began to tremble violently.
The earth quaked and mountains shook, sending stone fragments flying!
But what was more striking was what followed.
VMMMM!
A magnificent, deep blue glow bloomed from the wound where the Moonfall Halberd had pierced the Titan Giant’s head!
Then, the deep blue color began to flow like a liquid, rapidly dissolving the Titan Giant’s body tissue on contact!
The scene reminded Su Ye of a video he’d seen in his past life: molten iron being poured into the crevices of a block of ice!
"ROAR!"
The Titan Giant let out a series of frenzied, bloodcurdling roars.
It even raised its fists and began to frantically pummel its own head.
CRUNCH!
Chunks of stone broke off, cracking and shattering!
Clearly, this river of deep blue was causing it immense pain!
Even though Su Ye hadn’t unleashed a Quasi-Technique, the attack still possessed terrifying destructive power against the Southern Deities!
Su Ye was overjoyed at the sight!
He immediately adjusted his plan, holding back on using a Quasi-Technique and instead continuing to press his advantage!
SWISH!
The enchanted Moonfall Halberd became a streak of light as it slashed toward the Titan Giant!
The Titan Giant’s spirit nearly fled its body at the sight of the deep blue Moonfall Halberd whistling toward it.
It hurriedly activated its innate ability, Rock Armor, condensing Earth-elemental Spiritual Qi to manifest a thick, crystalline-yellow suit of armor over its body.
The armor on its head and torso was the most durable; even the Moonfall Halberd could only leave a gash about an inch deep when it struck!
The Titan’s Defense Power was still formidable!
’The Sea of Deep Blue is only effective if it comes into direct contact with the Divine Incarnation...’
Su Ye was slightly disappointed.
So he shifted his target.
SHINK!
The Moonfall Halberd flashed, viciously striking the Titan Giant’s left knee joint!
The Rock Armor here wasn’t nearly as durable as the armor on its vital points!
Vmmm.
The deep blue light seeped into the joint!
The Titan Giant staggered violently. This body had been refined by the God of Rock Ridge and sealed away for a very long time.
It was no longer a body of flesh and blood.
But with its knee struck and the load-bearing joint damaged, it was bound to have trouble keeping its balance!
And then...
BOOM!
From a safe distance, the Ghostly Flood Dragon fired twelve Plasma Bombs that streaked across the sky, precisely striking the Titan Giant’s left knee!
Under the heavy blow, the Titan Giant’s left leg snapped, making it impossible to maintain its balance!
At the same time.
Inside Giant Stone City, Ziyuan’s fingers danced, and thousands of strands of spider silk shot forth!
Ziyuan’s expression was grim. Behind her, the phantom of the Sun-Eating Demon Spider Emperor flashed for an instant!
Empowered by her Great Demon True Body!
Immense strength!
Ziyuan gripped the silk threads and gave a mighty tug!
"Go... down!"
It was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
The Titan Giant was already unstable, its left leg shattered, teetering on the brink of collapse.
What’s more,
Ziyuan was no weak woman!
As a fourth-stage Great Demon, her physical strength was on par with even Su Ye’s.
Such immense strength could hardly be called a straw.
It was more like a heavy wooden pile!
And clearly, this heavy pile was more than enough to break the Titan’s back.
After swaying for a moment, its body began to tilt, slowly but inevitably.
Then,
once the tilt reached a critical angle,
CRASH!
The Titan Giant lost its balance completely!
Its entire body tilted backward and crashed to the ground!
BOOM!
The tremor from the Titan’s fall was like an earthquake.
Even buildings in the distant Giant Stone City collapsed as the powerful shockwave swept through, leaving the citizens in a state of panic and terror!
However, for Su Ye and the others, now that the battle had reached this stage, the rest would be simple.
The Titan Giant’s single eye—its spellcasting organ and vital point—had been blinded in a single strike, disabling its powerful innate abilities like the Gravity Domain.
It had also lost its balance and fallen, unable to rise. As a child of the earth, a Titan Giant could normally stand even with a broken leg.
The problem, however,
was that Su Ye had no intention of giving it that chance.
And before the Moonfall Halberd, enchanted by the Sea of Deep Blue, the Titan Giant’s formidable physique and Defense Power were like butter before a hot knife.
Therefore,
with so many disadvantages stacked against it,
the fate of this Divine Incarnation, the Titan Giant, was sealed.
...
「A few minutes later.」
The Titan Giant was in a terrible state. Its torso, limbs, and even its head had once been covered in a translucent, crystalline-yellow sheen.
But now,
that crystalline-yellow sheen was all but gone.
Of course, the deep blue color left by the Moonfall Halberd’s strikes had also vanished.
But the Titan Giant took no joy in this.
Because,
in its place,
a blackish-red color was seeping out from every crack and wound!
The color was foul and bloody.
It was horrifying, instinctively bringing words like "corruption" and "sin" to mind.
Like all Southern Deities,
the God of Rock Ridge had wantonly held blood sacrifices in its domain, devouring offerings and even the flesh and souls of its followers!
It relied on feeding to replenish its power, just to prolong its wretched existence.
Such acts incurred the world’s condemnation.
—Heavenly Retribution!
Under normal circumstances, the God of Rock Ridge could use its Divine Power and rituals to construct a ’dam’ of sorts, misleading the will of the world.
This would, to some extent, insulate it from the effects of its corruption.
But this ’dam’ was not foolproof.
Su Ye’s abilities derived from [Pastor of the Sea].
Whether it was his Quasi-Techniques or his exclusive skills, all of them could affect this dam.
The only difference was the magnitude of the effect.
The Sea of Deep Blue, when unleashed by a Quasi-Technique, was a violent, surging torrent that could completely shatter the ’dam’.
His exclusive skills, though far weaker, could still poke a small hole in it...
The ultimate result of both was the same!
A backlash of sin!
This was the source of the immense damage the Sea of Deep Blue inflicted upon the Southern Deities!
SHLICK!
As the Moonfall Halberd fell once more,
this Titan Giant finally reached its limit. The crystalline-yellow light faded completely, and its body shattered into pieces like common stone!
BOOM!
[Defeated a Pseudo-God. [Pastor of the Sea] EXP +12,357]
The experience point notification flashed across his vision.
The Rock Ridge incarnation had fallen!
"It’s over!"
Su Ye murmured, his gaze profound.
