Chapter 262 Chasing into the Ocean
No less than 100,000.
Cangyuan's gill slits suddenly contracted.
In just a few days, he went from level five to level six. From 60,000 to 100,000, this growth rate...
Cangyuan fell silent. It slowly turned its massive head in the water, its mental energy locking onto the purple-gold light spot that was rolling towards it on the sea surface.
At this point, Song Chen had advanced to a position 30 kilometers from the coastline. The beast tide was retreating, its command had failed, and the beasts began to flee on their own, disobeying orders.
This battle can't continue.
Cangyuan made a decision.
"The entire army shall retreat."
The mental energy carried the command, spreading outwards from the trench.
Every beast that received the order turned around and retreated towards the deep sea.
Those fifth-tier beast kings were relieved, while the fourth and third-tier beast kings desperately tried to dive into the sea, leaving behind a mess of corpses and blood on the surface.
"Retreat direction: deep-sea trench."
"Do not linger in the fight, do not turn back, stay away from that human."
Cangyuan added.
On the other side, Song Chen hovered in mid-air, sensing a powerful spiritual force.
The Eye of Truth pierced through the sea and captured the source of that spiritual energy.
A sea dragon, level six.
Its mental strength is very strong, slightly weaker than that of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, but its coverage area is wider.
It lingered at the bottom of the trench, surrounded by the auras of four sixth-tier beings.
Song Chen couldn't hear what it was saying, but he could sense the direction of the mental energy fluctuations; it was issuing commands.
He glanced down at the system panel.
Kill count: 4270 million.
They marched from the coastline to here, over a hundred kilometers away, killing more than 30 million people.
The beast tide was lucrative, but now it's starting to recede.
The fifth-tier beast king was the fastest, and had already retreated two hundred kilometers away.
If we let them just run away, where will we get the remaining 60 million?
"Only forty million, that's not enough."
Song Chen withdrew his lightning domain, and the spherical electric field with a diameter of 1,200 meters disappeared instantly, leaving only leaping residual electric arcs and densely packed alien beast corpses on the sea surface.
He gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly, lowered his body, and plunged into the sea like a cannonball.
The moment he entered the water, he switched to a soaring movement technique.
In seawater, the wind-based movement technique no longer relies on the wind, but transforms into absolute control over the water flow.
Song Chen's speed underwater did not decrease but increased, with the seawater becoming a propulsive force rather than a drag.
The Eye of Truth works just as well underwater. Soon, he locked onto the sea dragon in the trench and dived straight down.
At this moment, on the Tianhai City wall, Chen Henian stared blankly as the purple-gold light on the observation screen disappeared below the sea surface.
"They...they continued chasing them?"
"A staff officer shouted."
"He chased after them all the way into the sea by himself?"
"That's the deep sea, the domain of sea monsters."
"Shut up." Chen Henian turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Three thousand meters below the sea.
Song Chen is still diving.
The Eye of Truth has locked onto all the fifth and sixth-tier auras at the bottom of the trench.
The sea dragon is in the center, with four heads of six rank guarding the four directions respectively.
The sea dragon was rapidly releasing its spiritual power, and part of its contents were captured by the Eye of Truth.
He gripped the knife handle tightly and accelerated his descent.
As it soared underwater, its trajectory created a trail of air bubbles, leaving a long white streak in the seawater.
He was alone in the deep sea, facing five sixth-tier beast kings.
But after that war with Japan, that number no longer frightened him.
He glanced at the kill count; it was still ticking.
There were strange beasts fleeing in the sea, being caught by the residual electric arcs from the lightning field, and several of them died every now and then.
[Second-tier beast defeated, gaining 35 kill points]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 168 kill points]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 2900 kill points]
……
better than nothing.
Song Chen's gaze was fixed on the huge, dark blue figure deep in the trench, lightning flashing on his blade.
The trench is so deep that its bottom cannot be seen.
Song Chen paused for a moment at a depth of 3,500 meters.
The Eye of Truth pierced through the darkness, projecting the entire scene at the bottom of the trench into his consciousness.
One sea dragon, two giant whales, one abyssal python, and one mutated giant squid—all at their peak.
Song Chen scanned their spiritual energy fluctuations and quickly made a judgment.
The giant whale race has around 250,000 health points, while the abyssal python race has slightly less, but still over 200,000.
That giant squid had tentacles over 800 meters long, with barbed bone spikes embedded in its suckers. Its mental energy fluctuations were unusually strong for a sea beast; it was a creature with supernatural abilities.
The sea dragon in the very center has no less than 300,000 units of energy and blood.
It was tougher than the battle against Japan. Japan's sixth-tier beast king had been bombed by an eight-million-ton nuclear bomb, and its strength and vitality were not at their peak.
The five creatures before me were all intact, brimming with spiritual energy and overflowing with killing intent.
"That's interesting."
Song Chen gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly and continued to descend.
At the bottom of the trench, Cangyuan raised his head.
At this depth, the eyes are useless; one can only perceive through mental power.
In its perception, Song Chen's psionic outline was so clear it was blinding.
Human form, early stage of the sixth rank, with a blood and qi of just over 100,000.
"He actually dared to come down."
Cangyuan's voice spread through his mental power, and all four beast kings received it simultaneously.
"This is not land; this is where we were born," the Beast King of the Giant Whale Clan said, his voice deep and resonant like an underwater earthquake.
The Abyss Python King did not speak, but slowly stretched out its 1,200-meter-long body, the sound of its scales rubbing against each other echoing for tens of kilometers across the seabed.
The giant squid's tentacles spread out silently, each one as thick as an ancient tree, the bony spikes on the edges of its suckers gleaming coldly under the illumination of psionic energy.
Song Chen stopped 300 meters from the bottom of the trough.
This distance is already close combat range for a sixth-tier character.
"I just killed dozens of Tier 5 beasts on the sea, and I'm still not satisfied. Die, you beast!"
The sound was projected through psionic energy and was clearly audible under water pressure.
The visor of the Beiming Armor remained on, his face exposed to the high pressure of the deep sea, his expression calm.
The gills of the abyss suddenly opened, and a dark blue light burst forth from the edges of the gills, illuminating the entire trench.
"Arrogant."
Its spiritual power vibrated the seawater, forming visible ripples around Song Chen.
This is the oppressive aura of the Sea Dragon Clan. The dragon's might at the sixth rank is enough to paralyze a fifth-rank sea beast on the spot, and even a fourth-rank human martial artist would be suppressed to the point of having their blood and qi reversed.
But Song Chen didn't even frown. His Eye of Truth automatically analyzed the frequency of the dragon's might and countered it.
The oppressive ripples crashed against his mental barrier, like waves hitting rocks, shattering into foam.
The next second, he moved.
There was no probing, no confrontation.
Fuyao traced an arc underwater, and Song Chen's figure disappeared from 500 meters away, appearing on the side of the Abyss Python King.
The abyssal serpent reacts extremely quickly. Its massive body twists on the seabed, and its scales flip like thousands of shields, with barbs popping out from the tips. This is the defensive instinct of the abyssal serpent race; any enemy that gets too close will be pierced by the barbs.
