Chapter 689 Facing the Sea God
Boom! Boom!!
The webbed claw of Crystallized Dagon tightly gripped the hand of the Azure King, its massive body twisting and struggling fiercely in the grasp, emitting a dull roar.
Countless thick purple lightning bolts appeared, leaping across the surface of Crystallized Dagon, igniting its brutish explosive power—
"Open for me!!"
Rumble—
The roar echoed, and Crystallized Dagon's exposed scales all rose up.
However, the large hand grasping its neck was more solid than the hardest material it knew, unmoving despite Dagon's relentless pulling!
The strength of the Azure King was terrifying!
Even Dagon, famous for close combat in the Deep Sea, struggled to move even one finger of the opponent!
"Azure King!"
Suddenly Crystallized Dagon stopped struggling and shouted.
It lifted its ugly, fierce face, seemingly fearless, its mouth opening and closing, joints cracking audibly, and laughed hoarsely:
"Hehehe... I have been dead for a long time, this is just a cold shell, and you, dragged into the Dream Realm, are destined to die here, just like me!"
Its tone was joyous, crazed, displaying a victor's stance even while being held by Chen Lun.
"Even in death you're so happy, Sebastian Pado sure raised a good dog."
The Azure King said indifferently.
Crystallized Dagon remained unmoved by the words, still mocking:
"Jack Spett, I hope you're just as arrogant when you die, his power, you know nothing—ahhhhhhh!!"
Before the words were finished, its whole body was engulfed by a pale fire.
In Chen Lun's palm, a flame infused with a rainbow halo burnt unendingly upon Crystallized Dagon's body, warping and distorting like a piece of metal in the "forge" of fire, it shrieked in agony.
"Aaahhhh—"
Gradually, the body of Crystallized Dagon began to melt, its screams faded, ultimately turning into a pale liquid substance similar to molten iron, pooling on the ground into a heap of crystalline matter.
"Dagon just died like that..."
King Byron William Lev, heavily injured and collapsed, looked on horrified at this scene.
The oppressive feeling Crystallized Dagon gave him moments ago still lingered, and yet such a powerful existence was powerless as a mere toy in the Azure King's hands, burned to ashes without even the chance to resist!
"Your Majesty King in Azure, have you already half-stepped into the rank of True God?!"
The crown fell, the disheveled gray-haired Northern Territory king murmured.
Chen Lun stretched his empty palm, indifferently looking down at the crystalline remains, silently thinking:
'The Unique Divinity is gone, it seems indeed dead by the "old leader" Eternal Sleeper's hand, stripped of authority.'
At this moment.
The entire Dream Realm shook.
Rumble! Rumble!
Chen Lun slowly raised his head.
The massive sphere above began to rotate!
A figure, infinitely small compared to its nearly kilometer size, slowly descended—
An unkempt tall and slender man.
Wearing only a loose dark brown robe, his exposed arms and legs were covered in tight and fine light green scales.
His face was relatively normal, with ordinary masculine features, except his eyes were pitch black, filled with deep malice and insanity.
"Sebastian Pado, finally willing to show yourself?"
Chen Lun said indifferently.
"You painstakingly arranged the so-called 'Honor Carnival' ceremony, barely escaping Ring Duke's seal, only to go mad in the Northern Territory... Seems like you've slept too long, utterly ignorant of the outside world."
He spoke, gently raising his eyes to gaze directly at the Eternal Sleeper.
Yet the latter remained silent, offering no response.
"The era of the Seven Gods has long passed, this world is no longer your 'animal pen,' open your eyes wide and see whose era this is—did you ask me before you went mad?"
Woo—
The azure robe fluttered, Chen Lun struck with a punch.
Boom!!!
The massive fist crushed like a mountain over an ant, instantly hitting the Eternal Sleeper!
The Sea God was immediately blasted off by this terrifying punch, tumbling, smashing heavily into the sphere above, causing a rumbling noise!
The Dream Realm shook with it!
Countless crystalline bodies shattered by the shockwave, transforming into splendid pale white dust mist, drifting across the air, magnificent.
Rustle... Rustle...
Crystallized fragments fell from the stars.
The Eternal Sleeper slowly emerged from the pit, overlooking below, standing unharmed on the crystalline earth, the azure-clothed silhouette.
His pair of dark eyes, eternal malice and lunacy.
He never spoke from the start, instead flew into the air, spreading his arms, and in the next moment, purple-black lightning as thick as barrels appeared everywhere, twisting like dragons, prowling, clawing.
Crackle! Crackle!!
The Eternal Sleeper raised a hand, clenched his five fingers, mighty mythological thunderstorm swirled into his palm, coalescing into a blindingly bright purple-black electric light.
This moment, he exhibited the dignity befitting the Sea God.
The Eternal Sleeper slightly leaned back, his entire pose like a taut bow, muscles raised between his chest and abdomen, then suddenly threw the lightning!
Boom!!!
A lightning bolt over ten meters wide instantly targeted the Azure King, then struck upon him!
The whole Dream Realm briefly illuminated, then dimmed.
This was Chen Lun's first confrontation with a True God, he was already prepared to dodge as the lightning was thrown... yet until the thunderbolt fell, he couldn't evade.
For no reason, the thunderbolt locked him, leaving no escape!
Taking a hit from the Eternal Sleeper, Chen Lun promptly used his Life Points reserve to counter it, expending millions.
The edges of the azure robe vanished into void under the extreme electric light.
The next second, Chen Lun's figure blossomed from behind the Eternal Sleeper.
He swung the ivory engraved cross sword, its vertical slash left a thin, pale line in the air! As if it were splitting the entire world in half!
Clang——
Even Chen Lun was surprised.
His cross sword encountered something it couldn't cut through for the first time!
The blade struck harshly against the Eternal Sleeper's back, slicing open its brown robe, but clashed with the fine, tight, light green scales, sparking brilliantly!
'As the Deep Sea Sequence Zero, the Eternal Sleeper's physical strength is unmatched in the world, "Crystalline Cells" can't erode Him, "Strings of Sorrow" can't cut Him, and "Endless Light and Heat" can't burn Him…'
A thought flashed through Chen Lun's mind.
'In my normal state, my physical qualities have already reached the threshold of Sequence One. When entering the "King in Azure" stance, it should barely match a True God... yet it can't break His defense!'
Woo!!!
The whirlwind suddenly howled.
The Eternal Sleeper became the eye of the storm at that moment, unleashing the fiercest hurricane this world had seen from his being!
The powerful airflow even distorted the vision of the Dream Realm, blurring everything around!
Even Saints and Demigods would be stripped of flesh, bones, and spirituality in such a gale, enduring the torment akin to being cut into pieces, turning into dust in an instant!
Chen Lun's gaze sharpened.
Even he couldn't resist this wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was blown hundreds of kilometers away, spinning in the Dream Realm!
The Eternal Sleeper suddenly turned, his pitch-black eyes locking onto Chen Lun, raising his hand to grasp once again!
Sea waves!
Monstrous waves surged from the pale earth!
Every drop of seawater weighed like a thousand pounds, gathering into a sky-covering splash, crashing down like a giant hand over the Dream Realm's heavens!
Boom——
The azure-clothed figure was engulfed by the endless seawater, and the impact made every struggle and resistance seem futile.
This was the supreme might from the master of that storm authority, the King of the Endless Ocean, Deep Sea Eternal Sleeper, Sebastian Pado!
In the heavy seawater, Chen Lun's expression remained calm.
He deeply understood why True Gods are called the overlords at the end of mystery, why no one dared to challenge True Gods since ancient times…
Such power couldn't be countered by Angels or Sub-Gods!
It was clear, Oscar, as the King of Angels, relying on the Ring Duke's seal, and using the Divine Relic "Child's Dream" to suppress the Eternal Sleeper for an entire epoch, was truly remarkable!
'Twist fate, detach.'
Chen Lun silently recited in his heart.
Pale, infinite symbols emerged and illuminated in his eyes.
Buzz——
Relying on a position equal to a True God, Chen Lun activated the max-level sequence ability of [Ouroboros], and the surrounding waves gradually became semi-transparent, receding along with the sound of waves in his ears.
Until the "scene" where the Eternal Sleeper summoned the endless ocean was forcibly erased by Chen Lun!
'Twist fate, splice.'
Clang!
A crisp, even ear-piercing clang!
The Eternal Sleeper stood tall in mid-air, sparks flew from the back out of nowhere!
His body staggered slightly!
Chen Lun stood up, stationed on the dry crystalline earth, with the pale, infinite symbol in his eyes fixed on Sebastian Pado, a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He intercepted the fate line of his initial sword swing and spliced it into the current event development!
Chen Lun raised his right hand high, dropping his index finger with a swift motion.
"Destiny Restart—"
Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!!
The Eternal Sleeper immediately suffered a repeated fate, the "fate" of being slashed by the ivory engraved cross sword on his back!
In an instant, he endured four thousand eight hundred and fifty strikes from Chen Lun!
'Since one sword can't break the defense, then I'll slash a thousand swords, ten thousand swords, countless swords... I refuse to believe you can't be killed!'
Chen Lun's eyes were cold.
The sky resounded with high-frequency, dense slashing sounds, layer upon layer, like sharp screeching.
The Eternal Sleeper's back seemed to bloom with a golden spark——
It was the Mythical Might splattering from the slash, twisting the vision, with starry points generated by rubbing against those light green scales!
Splash!
The Eternal Sleeper finally suffered an injury!
A straight sword mark appeared on his back, oozing True God's blood, thick and flowing with endless vitality and storm power!
Finally, the Eternal Sleeper spoke for the first time:
"Fate… A detestable power."
His voice was very hoarse, like dense bubbles bursting simultaneously, vibrating, not sounding human, more like some unknown entity imitating human speech to convey information.
As he spoke, Sebastian Pado, the Eternal Sleeper, ignored the slashes on his back and waved his hand.
"Abasye…"
Buzz——
On the Dream Realm's ground, one after another figures abruptly appeared, most of them players, a few were ordinary people from the real world...
They arrived in this unfamiliar environment, looking around, bewildered, repeatedly exclaiming.
"Where is this?!"
"Huh? How did the map change suddenly when I was asleep!"
"The calamity of the Northern Territory has spread to the Empire's center, that's absurd!"
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Look quickly—"
Players who were dragged into the Dream Realm looked up to see a massive figure covered in light green scales, blocking out the sky, confronting a slightly smaller azure-clothed figure in the sky.
