Chapter 254: Battle with the Octopus Monster (II)

The octopus monster was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of reaction speed. Just as it tried to make a move and before its tentacles could spread out, the Sword Aura appeared next to its body and split it into two.

Chen Yiming leaped over and landed in the middle of the two halves of its body.

“It shouldn’t die so easily!”

He turned around and looked at the octopus monster.

However, as far as he could see, the octopus monster had already disappeared. In its place was the spiritual energy that was spreading out.

The spiritual energy instantly expanded from a range of 100 meters to a few kilometers. As it expanded, it was like ink, dyeing everything in its path black.

Before he lost his vision, Chen Yiming realized that the altar had been destroyed. The coffin inside had already disappeared.

Immediately after, the spiritual energy started to move in the direction of the crowd that was watching from afar.

In the eyes of the people from the martial arts clans, the spiritual energy was like a black wave that surged towards them. For a moment, everyone was frightened out of their wits and scrambled to escape in all directions.

While Chen Yiming was fighting the octopus monster, they had retreated a few kilometers away.

They had thought that this was a safe distance and that they could help Chen Yiming to surround the sacrificial spirit while having enough time to escape if things went south. However, they had underestimated the power of the spirit that was a half-step away from the master realm.

Moreover, no one expected that the octopus monster would not choose to escape after being split into two, but turn to charge at them instead.

“I remember that the ability of this sacrificial spirit is to absorb and transform energy. Does it want to devour the souls of the people around this area to recover its spiritual energy to deal with my Sword Aura?”

At this thought, Chen Yiming slashed out with his sword again.

A path was cleared by the Sword Aura, and he regained a portion of his vision.

With a flash, he left the area covered by the black ink and arrived beside Asou Nishiko.

Asou Nishiko had not only had relations with him, but she was also an important bridge for his movements in Japan. He could not let anything happen to her so easily.

“Master.”

Asou Nishiko had a look of horror on her face. She had seen someone being caught by the black ink who had not been able to escape from it.

It had to be known that those who dared to stay nearby to keep watch over the situation were all heads of large clans. These people were all at the peak of the warrior realm.

On the other hand, she was only an ordinary warrior. If she was touched by the spiritual energy, she would probably die immediately.

This was the truth. The reason why Matsumoto Shigejiro’s struggles were useless was because of his weaker spiritual strength. The octopus monster had already undergone a qualitative change of its spiritual power.

As long as one was restrained by the tentacles, even those at the peak of the warrior realm would not be able to last long under the spiritual attack.

“This sacrificial spirit has broken through to a higher level. It’s not so easy to kill it. From now on, you have to stick close to me,” Chen Yiming instructed as he grabbed Asou Nishiko and chased after the black ink formed by the octopus monster.

In the short time that he had turned around to save Asou Nishiko, the octopus monster had already swept up several people and had almost completely disappeared from sight.

In the northeast of Osaka City, more than 100 kilometers away, there was a volcanic crater that emitted white smoke all year round. There were a large number of half-frozen lava pools around it.

Normally, few creatures would stay in such a place. However, because there was a space-travel passage inside the volcano, this dangerous place had become a paradise for mutant beasts.

Furthermore, due to the occasional eruption of the volcano, almost all the mutant beasts living in this area were at the warrior realm.

At this moment, there was an unwelcome guest at the mouth of the volcano. The black ink that the octopus monster had transformed into had arrived at this place.

The black ink was much fainter now compared to back at the shrine. It was no longer able to dye everything in its path pitch-black, and the spiritual power on it was no longer stable, showing signs of dissipating at any moment.

The reason why it had fled here was because Matsumoto Shigejiro had previously brought it to this volcano to devour the souls of mutant beasts. The cultivation environment in the otherworld on the other side of the space-travel passage was even better, and it instinctively attracted the spirit that only had unstable emotions.

Chen Yiming chased after it from a few kilometers away. From time to time, a Sword Aura attack would slash at the black ink.

Every time the black ink was slashed by the Sword Aura, a portion of it would be destroyed. Along the way, Chen Yiming had already slashed at it hundreds of times.

However, in order to hide from the spirit disaster, more people had rushed into the wilderness than usual, allowing the octopus monsters to devour more souls to recover as it made its escape.

If not for the fact that it was a sacrificial spirit that was half a step away from the master realm, coupled with the fact that it had encountered many prey along the way, the octopus monster would already have been killed by Chen Yiming.

“Uh…”

Chen Yiming was dumbfounded to see a large number of mutant beasts surrounding the volcano.

Even if the octopus monster could rely on devouring souls to recover its spiritual strength, there was a limit to its recovery. As long as he continued to attack it with his Sword Aura, it would eventually collapse completely.

However, a large number of mutant beasts were living at the mouth of the volcano. The mouth of the volcano was clearly not the habitat of ordinary creatures. There could be no other reason except that there was a space-travel passage there.

As expected, half of the mutant beasts surrounding the volcano were killed in an instant, and the rest fled in all directions. There were more than a hundred of them.

A flying mutant beast let out a cry and charged into the sky before diving down.

It had a pair of huge wings that were nearly 100 meters wide, and a grayish-black aura coated them.

In addition, its body, including its tail, was nearly 60 meters long. Its feathers were like barbs, shining with a metallic glint. Its head was a little like that of a goose, and it had a wide and long beak.

Its large golden eyes were cold and fierce.

This flying mutant beast was the king of this volcano. It was at the peak of the warrior realm and was a constant threat to the Osaka region.

The octopus monster devoured a large number of mutant beast souls in one go, and returned to its octopus form from its black ink form. The spiritual energy in its body became stronger again.

Most of the mutant beasts that had been devoured were only at the ordinary warrior realm. However, since it was not aiming to achieve a breakthrough to a higher level but only to recover its spiritual power, the quantity could also make up for the lack of quality.

Seeing a huge bird diving down from the sky, the octopus monster shot out hundreds of tentacles and aimed at it.

In the blink of an eye, the huge bird became like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It was first wrapped up by the tentacles, then attacked by the spiritual power.

By the time Chen Yiming arrived, the huge bird’s struggling had weakened by 30%. It was being absorbed into the octopus monster’s body, and was temporarily equivalent to a portable charger.

“Master, stop it quickly. There’s a space-travel passage in the volcano,” Asou Nishiko reminded him with a frustrated expression.

Along the way, she had witnessed how Chen Yiming had worn down the octopus monster until it was on the verge of collapse. However, the opponent’s luck was too good, and it seemed to have an endless supply of recovery items to pick up along the way.

Chen Yiming frowned but didn’t make a move.

Now that the octopus monster had recovered, even if he tried to kill it on the spot, it could still withstand the Sword Aura attack and escape into the space-travel passage.

As for the unfamiliar space-travel passage, who knew what kind of creatures were waiting for him on the other side? Chen Yiming wouldn’t take the risk so easily just for a mere sacrificial spirit that was not even at the master realm.

Perhaps it was because it was extremely angry at being chased, but the octopus monster, which was filled with unstable emotions, seemed to be trying to provoke Chen Yiming.

Without waiting for Chen Yiming to make a move, it charged into the volcano, as if it was luring Chen Yiming to chase after it.

“Master, it is unknown how dangerous the other side of this space-travel passage is. There were several heads of large clans at the peak of the warrior realm who worked together to explore the otherworld from here.

No one knows what exactly those people encountered, but they only entered the otherworld for a short period of time. Not long after they returned, one of the clan heads died from serious injuries.”

Asou Nishiko held onto Chen Yiming’s hand, afraid that he would chase after the monster recklessly.
