Free Web NovelChapter 121: Facing Tribulation III
Mud Crab’s attention became completely focused on him. Enraged by these endlessly troublesome pests, the desolate beast roared repeatedly while relentlessly pursuing Lin Yan across the battlefield, allowing the overall situation to slowly stabilize.
However, maintaining such intense combat came at an equally terrifying cost. Although Lin Yan possessed a huge number of Gu worms and astonishing combat strength, the consumption of primeval essence was enormous. Under normal circumstances, this level of expenditure could never be sustained for long.
Even with Five Aperture Fire Furnace Gu reducing consumption by half while storing enormous amounts of fire energy, supporting the simultaneous activation of more than thirty Rank 4 and Rank 5 Gu Worms was still extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Lin Yan had prepared for this tribulation long ago. He had stockpiled a large number of Beggar Moth Gu, a type of Gu specially used for storing primeval essence. Part of them had been gathered jointly by the two of them, while most came from the Gu Immortal inheritance Sun Cu had obtained.
Because of this, Lin Yan no longer needed to worry about exhausting his primeval essence and could unleash killer moves one after another without restraint.
After an unknown amount of time passed during the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, the thick mud covering the Mud Crab’s body was finally burned away under the repeated bombardment of various killer moves.
Its heavily scarred shell was finally exposed completely.
Lin Yan’s eyes instantly brightened. "Finally exposed." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Lin Yan had waited a long time for this exact moment. His eyes suddenly lit up as he decisively unleashed the newly completed version of Hand of Destruction.
He slowly raised his right hand. The four enormous red fire handprints floating beside him rapidly overlapped, instantly forming a massive palm that seemed to cover the sky itself.
At the center of the gigantic handprint, eight different Otherworldly Flames intertwined together. The eight colors circulated endlessly before finally condensing into a dazzling eight-colored fire lotus.
Killer Move — Myriad Flames Great Hand!
Amidst the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, Lin Yan’s palm slowly descended.
The Myriad Flames Great Hand, pressed downward like a massive sea of eight-colored fire. At the center of the enormous hand, the eight-colored fire lotus radiated an unstable and terrifying aura.
Rumble!
By the time the Mud Crab sensed the danger, it was already too late. The enormous hand crashed heavily onto its head, causing the desolate beast’s gigantic body to stagger violently.
In the next moment, a blazing sun seemed to erupt above it.
The eight-colored fire lotus exploded apart instantly, transforming into towering waves of multicolored flames that swept across the battlefield with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the endless sea of fire completely swallowed the Mud Crab’s massive body. The already shattered desert sank even deeper beneath the terrifying heat, while the surrounding world became scorching hot.
Meanwhile, meteorites from the heavenly tribulation continued crashing into the sea of flames from above, splashing up giant waves of colorful fire before rapidly melting into flowing lava.
When the terrifying sea of flames gradually receded, the enormous body of the Mud Crab was finally revealed once again.
Large portions of its shell had been burned black, while an area near its head had partially caved inward. The surrounding desert had been blasted into an enormous crater, and under the terrifying heat,even the sand had been fused into glass by the terrifying heat.
The Mud Crab let out a furious roar filled with pain. If the earlier attacks had merely scratched it, then this strike had truly managed to injure the desolate beast, like an ordinary person suddenly taking a heavy blow head-on.
However, after retreating to avoid the explosion, Lin Yan could not help twitching his mouth slightly.
Even after unleashing a full-power attack, he had only managed to inflict this much damage.
Desolate beasts truly existed on an entirely different level from ordinary Gu Masters. Compared to fighting such creatures, Lin Yan would rather face a newly ascended Gu Immortal instead. At least Gu Immortals possessed flesh-and-blood bodies. Without a defensive Immortal Gu, a direct hit from Myriad Flames Great Hand would almost certainly leave them heavily injured.
Afterward, Lin Yan continued coordinating with the rabble army to firmly restrain the Mud Crab while constantly fighting and retreating.
At the same time, he carefully observed the desolate beast’s increasingly furious state.
When he finally felt the timing was right, Lin Yan decisively activated his final killer move combining Wisdom Path and Flame Path — Rage Assault!
Lin Yan’s Hearth God Eye Gu swirled with crimson fire mist as a strange fluctuation silently invaded the Mud Crab’s body.
This killer move was formed from Hearth God Eye Gu, Fire Thought Gu, Fallen Heart Flame Gu, Fire Soul Gu, and the newly obtained Rage Gu. All of them were Rank 4 Gu worms combined into a killer move that fused Wisdom Path and Flame Path together.
Suddenly, the enormous Mud Crab froze mid-charge. Its gigantic body trembled violently, as though enduring intense pain. The rage within its mind was continuously transformed into invisible flames that burned its heart from within.
The Mud Crab roared furiously toward the sky. Slightly transparent white flames spewed from its mouth and nose before it charged forward once again like a beast that had completely lost control.
Seeing this, Lin Yan could only feel somewhat helpless. Desolate beasts possessed terrifying physiques, while their souls were naturally powerful as well. A mere mortal-level killer move was still far from enough to inflict truly significant damage.
For a time, Lin Yan was dragged into an extremely bitter battle.
