Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Golden Body and Shattered Ruin

The human warships are ultimately just man-made tools, and when the natural environment becomes too harsh, they can’t hold up.

The environment at this moment is indeed very harsh.

Everyone saw a massive head rise from beneath the sea.

"Leviathan! It’s Leviathan!"

On the warships of the Western Kingdom, some soldiers exclaimed, holding their heads in shock.

Nowadays, the world’s situation has drastically changed, and everyone is already aware of those mysterious supernatural forces’ existence.

But seeing a creature larger than an aircraft carrier in the vast sea still caused many to feel a breakdown of defenses.

That thing looked like a mass of writhing flesh, and compared to it, the warships seemed like toys.

It slapped the water with fin-like limbs, stirring up massive waves, rolling toward the human fleet, aiming to drown these ships.

"No."

"We’re doomed."

"Fire, launch all the missiles!"

Ordinary people had never seen such a scene, and to them, that grotesque giant monster could wipe everyone out merely by manipulating the sea water, making today their last day.

Boom, boom——

The giant waves continued to surge closer, seeing that they were about to reach the fleet and swallow it completely.

During this moment of utmost despair, a black mist began to spread rapidly over the sea, like a giant serpent crawling over the water surface.

No, that’s not right.

"Is that a serpent?!"

The black mist finally condensed into a pitch-black giant serpent, stretching across in front of the fleet, protecting them from behind in a concave formation.

"Is it here to help us?"

With the previous disgusting monster for contrast, people instead found this giant serpent, which should have been terrifying, quite acceptable.

This serpent, coiled with Evil Qi, was naturally transformed by Li Rui, the creature sealed within the Great Demon Black Law on the Secret Realm battlefield.

Since it was only at level fifty, it was nearly useless in subsequent events, so Li Rui had never summoned it before.

But now, its enormous body directly blocked the incoming massive waves, making a significant contribution.

Moreover, Li Rui also used it as a landing spot on the sea.

"You again? Do we have a grudge?"

He looked at the twisted monster, mainly at the person standing on it.

The armored giant man with a halberd grinned: "The Prophet said someone would be here, so I came to try my luck. I didn’t kill you at that Holy Mountain last time, but this time I can make up for it."

Li Rui glanced at the monster beneath his feet: "Was this thing created by Brother Zuo?"

The twisted monster exuded a bloody and evil aura, clearly not something good.

The giant man laughed even more brightly: "Yes, using parts of your fellow countrymen, making the best use of everything."

"By the way, may I ask for your esteemed name?" Li Rui asked out of the blue.

"Does it matter?"

"I should at least know who I killed, so I can put up a monument afterward, just like with Song Yuanhua."

Upon hearing this, the giant man’s expression changed dramatically.

"You’re courting death!!!"

It was the first time he learned that the person who killed Song Yuanhua was Li Rui.

But knowing it enraged him immensely, though before he could make a move, he saw several dark shadows descending from the sky.

The rescued fleet fired with all its might, and over a dozen anti-ship missiles rained down from the sky, landing directly on the twisted monster.

With the sound of violent explosions came black smoke-emitting flames.

The blood monster, Zuo Qiutian’s creation, wasn’t a real living being; it didn’t scream, but its body visibly sank a few feet into the sea.

The sailors on board were extremely excited; they didn’t know extraordinary creatures, but they were well aware of the missile’s power. Such intense bombing, no matter what it was, would at least be severely crippled if not killed, especially the human on top of it.

However, things weren’t that smooth, as along with the ascending smoke was a golden giant statue, something they couldn’t comprehend.

The smiles on the soldiers’ faces froze instantly.

In the explosive flames, that golden giant statue appeared divine, effortlessly sweeping away all threats with a simple wave.

By this time, the only hope for the clueless soldiers lay in the pitch-black giant serpent summoned by Li Rui.

After all, they didn’t understand what was strong or weak, but observing the twisted giant monster and the golden phantom statue led to a simple understanding.

Bigger is better!

So when they saw the serpent being cut in two instantly, they fell into despair.

Our largest one couldn’t beat theirs, and missiles and machine guns were ineffective, meaning they’re doomed.

"Conductor Ling!"

When Ling Zixiao stepped onto the deck, everyone aboard the White Seagull Ship regarded him as the last straw.

More precisely, they were hoping this person would reassure everyone, telling them they haven’t lost yet.

Who knew this chief Prophet from the Superpower Division would open his mouth to ask Cheng Mingyue: "Li Rui won’t lose, will he?"

"....."

Cheng Mingyue rolled his eyes: "I don’t know either."

That night at the Holy Judgment High Court planting trees, she would have known Li Rui couldn’t defeat the halberd-wielding giant man.

But now, with two more Thunder Skills and a lot of legendary equipment, the outcome was really hard to say.

But upon hearing their conversation, the others didn’t feel relieved.

We’re doomed!

We’re going to die and sink to the bottom of the sea!

Based on a soldier’s dignity, they didn’t scatter in panic, but their hearts were filled with grief.

However, the changing situation left them little time for sorrow as Li Rui jumped into the air to unleash the Nine Heavens Extinction Spell.

When in the Secret Realm World, he’d used this technique before and understood its power clearly.

He believed that although he wasn’t level seventy yet, he could really take down this world NPC.

Rumble.

As thunder roared, everyone sensed something was wrong.

Clearly, the sky was clear just now, but it suddenly gathered a cluster of dark clouds, and before they could marvel, countless black thunder pillars descended from the sky, heading straight for the giant golden statue.

Li Rui was also slightly surprised by the scene in front of him.

That mass of fleshly monster seemed very afraid of his spell, and as soon as it appeared, the fleshy bumps all over its body began to shrink, its lower body frantically wriggling to escape backward.

The halberd-holding giant man hadn’t expected that in such a short time, this person would become so strong.

Unlike the mindless flesh monster, he knew escaping within this dark lightning storm was impossible; he had to take the hit.

"Haa——"

The golden statue charged across the sea, facing the lightning head-on.

Boom!

The halberd deflected one thunder strike, only for another to follow.

BOOM!!

The golden statue retreated a couple of steps, ready to fight again, but more lightning bolts descended.

Buzz buzz....

The golden statue finally dissipated, not reverting to his armor but shattered on the spot, vanishing without a trace.

The giant man gasped for breath, relieved he endured, only to see a golden light flash in front of him—Li Rui wouldn’t give him a moment to catch his breath and closed in directly.
