Chapter 310 What are you talking about? I'm just a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator!
The cabin lights cast swaying shadows on Zhou Jue and Sun Jiuchou's faces.
On the radar screen, the life signal representing the glowing creature completely disappeared.
That huge red dot, it's moving.
No, it's charging at us!
"Buzz—"
It wasn't an impact.
Zhou Jue's neck hairs stood on end instantly, a negative aura rushed towards him, and countless chaotic images flashed before his eyes: slaughter, wailing, destruction, and the most primal, primal desire for flesh and soul.
A malicious voice rang out.
[Hungry...so hungry...]
Your body...smells...so sweet...
Zhou Jue's face paled, and he immediately focused his mind, activating the Nine Revolutions Merit to build up layers of defense, shutting out all these negative emotions.
Then, he channeled his spiritual power, preparing to attack this malicious entity.
“It’s no use,” Sun Jiuchou’s voice rang out.
He didn't even look at Zhou Jue; his eyes remained fixed on the data stream on the console, his hands moving so fast they were almost blurry.
"It has no physical form; it is a purely negative spiritual aggregate."
"Your merit power can defend your sea of consciousness, but at your current level, it is far from enough to kill it."
Zhou Jue gritted his teeth: "Then what do we do?"
"Put it back in," Sun Jiuchou uttered four words.
"How do I shut it off?!"
"Follow my instructions."
Sun Jiuchou retrieved the external structural diagram of the "Abyss".
"The energy core of the 'Abyss' is a high-purity 'Sunfire Crystal,' the latest achievement of the Post-Apocalyptic Research Institute."
He speaks very quickly, yet his words are clear and logical.
"Infuse your spiritual energy into the energy core, using the energy of the Yang Flame Crystal as a carrier to amplify and yang-transform the spiritual energy, and then project it out through an external searchlight."
"It fears this extremely masculine energy!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Jue immediately placed his palm on the power interface of the control panel.
A massive amount of spiritual energy surged in like a river bursting its banks!
"Buzz—!"
The entire submarine suddenly lit up, and all the external searchlights burst into golden light at the same time!
The golden light, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced the darkness of the deep sea, thousands of meters below!
【ah--! ! ! 】
An invisible shriek rang out, and the chilling power, like a shadow scorched by a raging fire, suddenly retreated.
Outside the porthole, in the area illuminated by the golden light, a massive outline composed of countless twisted and wailing black shadows came into view.
At its center was that pulsating, black cocoon covered in evil runes!
"It's frozen in place!" Zhou Jue's spirits lifted.
“Only three minutes.” Sun Jiuchou’s voice remained unwavering: “The energy of the Yangyan Crystal will soon be exhausted.”
"Use your divine sense to pull it back! Remember, mobilize the power of merit!"
"Where are we dragging it back to?!"
"Inside the corpse of that 'lantern' outside!" Sun Jiuchou pointed to the outline of the huge creature that had lost its light on the screen: "That's its old cage, and also the most suitable new grave for it!"
Zhou Jue took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
This time, she didn't defend herself.
She imbued her vast divine consciousness with a layer of golden merit, transforming it into an invisible net, and actively approached the monster that was frozen in the golden light!
You...you're asking for it...
The monster's mind was filled with violence and madness.
"You're the one who's damned."
Zhou Jue's net of divine sense suddenly opened and tightly bound the outline composed of countless black shadows.
"Come back to me!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze shining brightly!
Outside the porthole, the enormous black silhouette seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and slowly dragged toward the remains of the already dead, glowing creature.
【No--! ! ! 】
The monster struggled frantically, stirring up terrifying undercurrents, causing the entire "Abyss" to shake violently, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
"Xiao Jue, hold on!" Sun Jiuche's voice rang in my ears: "Just one last step!"
“Use a sealing talisman to draw a new lock on its old cage!”
"Dui, Gen, Li, Kan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Qian!"
Sun Jiuchou recited a series of directions at an extremely fast pace.
"Using its old cage as the key point, we will draw upon the power of all directions to lock its life gate!"
Without a second thought, Zhou Jue immediately grabbed a handful of high-grade talismans he had prepared beforehand from his spatial storage. He channeled spiritual energy into his fingertips, using his body as a brush and spiritual energy as ink, and began to rapidly inscribe talismans in the dark seawater from a distance!
Golden runes appeared out of thin air, carrying ancient and profound power, and were imprinted on the huge, glowing creature's remains.
As the last rune fell.
A giant Bagua diagram composed of countless golden runes suddenly took shape in the deep sea, slowly rotating and exuding an aura that suppressed everything!
Zhou Jue's net of divine sense suddenly tightened!
"boom--!"
The black monster was forcibly stuffed back into the dilapidated "cage"!
The Bagua diagram pressed down suddenly, sealing off the exit completely.
Everything around them fell silent instantly.
The golden searchlight beams, having exhausted their energy, slowly went out at that moment.
The seabed has returned to darkness and death.
Inside the cockpit, Zhou Jue was completely exhausted, leaning back in his seat and panting heavily.
Those few minutes were more dangerous and mentally taxing than any battle she had ever experienced.
It took her a while to calm down before she raised her head and looked to the side.
Sun Jiuchou was leaning back in the driver's seat, looking tired. He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples, appearing quite exhausted.
Inside the submersible, only the steady breathing of the two people could be heard.
Zhou Jue looked at him, and the taut string in his heart did not relax after confirming that he was safe; instead, it tightened even more.
She recalled his calm and composed command just now.
He recalled his intimate knowledge of the monster.
I recalled the ancient and precise array positions he had blurted out.
He also recalled the image of him reaching out and using that strange, non-spiritual energy to soothe the glowing creature.
Everything was like a giant jigsaw puzzle, slowly taking shape in her mind.
"Sun Jiuchou," Zhou Jue said, his voice hoarse from exhaustion.
Sun Jiuchou seemed to be still recovering. He put on his glasses, looked at Zhou Jue, and forced a smile: "What's wrong, Xiao Jue? We're safe."
“You,” Zhou Jue stared into his eyes and asked, enunciating each word clearly, “why didn’t you do it yourself?”
Sun Jiuchou's smile froze.
“That was so dangerous just now,” Zhou Jue’s gaze seemed to cut through all his pretense: “With your abilities, sealing it should be much easier for you than for me.”
"Why are you only ordering me to do it?"
The air inside the cockpit seemed to freeze.
The fatigue and strain on Sun Jiuchou's face gradually faded.
He looked at Zhou Jue, and in his eyes behind the glasses was an innocent bewilderment.
"Xiao Jue, what are you saying?"
His voice regained its former slow, gentle, and scholarly quality.
He pointed to himself, looking surprised.
"I'm just a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining."
