Following Chen Ping's warning, the battle escalated rapidly.
The tentacles in the pool writhed violently like living creatures, each carrying a corrosive liquid capable of dissolving metal. The group had to dodge the intermittent attacks of the tentacles while also guarding against the soul-corroding whispers.
Chen Ping wielded his sword like the wind, each strike accompanied by a lightning-fast clash, yet he could only temporarily sever those tentacles with astonishing regenerative abilities.
Angelica followed closely behind, her hands constantly casting protective magic to form barriers of light. However, these barriers gradually showed cracks under the continuous impact of the tentacles and even began to be slowly eroded.
"This can't go on!" she cried out anxiously.
At this critical moment, Lucifer flapped his wings and took to the air. Beneath his black wings, dark energy gathered into a beam, precisely striking several of the larger tentacles and forcing them to temporarily retreat beneath the water's surface.
However, more tentacles followed, and the battle reached a stalemate.
"We must change our strategy!" Gabriel's voice sounded exceptionally calm amidst the chaos of battle.
She quickly analyzed the battlefield situation, her gaze settling on the pool of water where tentacles were constantly growing.
Just as everyone was struggling to cope, Angelica had a sudden inspiration. Looking at the churning pool water, she suddenly thought that freezing the water was a good idea!
She took a deep breath, and her whole body emanated an icy chill, stronger than ever before.
She raised her hands high, closed her eyes and concentrated, silently forming an ancient and powerful freezing spell in her mind.
With a low growl, "Freeze everything!", the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and the temperature plummeted.
A surge of cold air emanated from Angelica, instantly covering the entire surface of the pool.
Upon contact with this absolute zero force, the pool water began to solidify, and a thick layer of ice quickly formed, freezing the churning water and the tentacles that were stirring within it.
The once nimble tentacles became sluggish and clumsy under the influence of the freezing, giving everyone a precious chance to catch their breath.
"Well done, Angelica!" Chen Ping praised. He seized the opportunity, his sword flashing like a dragon as it glided along the ice, easily severing the tentacles that restricted movement. Each strike was clean and swift.
As time went on, the freezing effect became significant, greatly reducing the regeneration rate of the tentacles. Although they continued to grow, they clearly no longer posed a threat to them.
Taking this opportunity, everyone worked together to remove the remaining tentacles one by one until the entire pool returned to calm, leaving only the frozen surface reflecting the faint light from the surroundings.
Seeing the tentacles that had just emerged being cut off, it was clear that the only remaining problem was the Lord of Heaven within the Unspeakable Egg.
Chen Ping looked at the parts of his body that had been touched by the pool water; they were now completely red. Keep in mind that he was now a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.
Even so, it was still corroded by the pool water, which shows how strong the corrosiveness of the pool water is.
Chen Ping shook his head, then focused his attention on the final target, the indescribable egg, which seemed unaffected by the freezing spell.
It was still throbbing, and the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment before finally launching a powerful attack on the indescribable egg.
A powerful divine spell erupted instantly on the Indescribable Egg, cracking it immediately. Countless cracks began to spread, quickly covering the entire Indescribable Egg.
Click!
With a clear sound, the indescribable egg instantly burst forth with a strong white light.
With a final bang, the entire Unspeakable Egg exploded, sending fragments flying in all directions. Upon seeing this, Angelica immediately cast a defensive shield around everyone.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
The fragments of the indescribable egg slammed into the protective shield, cracking it in no time. However, the fragments erupted all at once, so the shield was not broken.
As the indescribable egg shattered, the light gradually faded, and a figure slowly appeared—the very Lord of Heaven they had been searching for.
However, His appearance did not display the indescribable horror expected. Instead, He maintained the sacred image befitting the Lord of Heaven, with a golden robe, flowing silver hair, and a solemn face that was too daunting to behold.
But the only thing that seemed out of place was His eyes. His eyes, which should have been like clear lake water, were now pitch black, like bottomless black holes, revealing the traces of being completely eroded by something indescribable.
Chen Ping and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with doubt but also with wariness.
They knew that the real threat often lurked beneath the surface of calm, especially the Lord of Heaven before them, who was deeply affected by an indescribable force.
"You... have finally arrived, Angelica! Lucifer! And Gabriel!" The voice of the Lord of Heaven rang out, carrying both his original majesty and a hint of something unsettling.
He slowly raised one hand, and the surrounding air seemed to respond to His will, with indescribable whispers beginning to ripple once more.
This time, however, no tentacles or any real attack appeared. Instead, an invisible pressure pressed down on everyone, a whisper from the depths of their hearts, a test of their faith and will.
Chen Ping asked doubtfully, "Lord of Heaven, you don't seem surprised by our arrival? Also, are you aware that you have been corrupted by something indescribable? This will be a disaster!"
The Lord of Heaven smiled slightly, a smile that appeared unusually eerie on His face: "Disaster? No, what you consider 'disaster' is, to me, the key to a greater being."
The truth of this universe is far beyond your comprehension.
As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding environment began to distort, as if space was being torn apart, revealing another scene—a bizarre and fantastical world.
It was filled with indescribable creatures and distorted spatial structures; it was a realm completely occupied by the indescribable, and also the "truth" sought by the Lord of Heaven.
"Look, this is the real world, an existence beyond your comprehension."
The voice of the Lord of Heaven echoed in the void, as if He were no longer the Lord of Heaven they knew, but a completely new being assimilated by an indescribable power.
Chen Ping and his companions looked at each other, realizing that the real battle had only just begun.
At this moment, a tense and heavy atmosphere filled the air, and everyone was ready to face the unknown challenges that were about to come.
