Although the attacks of the unspeakable monster transformed from the Lord of Heaven appear blind and chaotic, its astonishing regenerative abilities are beyond imagination.
Whenever Chen Ping, Lucifer, Gabriel, and Angelica managed to cut open its massive body, the wounds would begin to heal slowly in the blink of an eye, as if an invisible force was constantly repairing these cracks.
"This monster has amazing regenerative abilities; we can't rely solely on direct damage to defeat it," Chen Ping quickly analyzed during a break in the battle.
Sweat streamed down his face, but his gaze remained resolute. "We need to find its core, or the energy source that sustains this state."
Gabriel nodded. Her Holy Light Healing spell quickly restored her teammates' stamina while also attempting to purify the spaces contaminated by the monsters.
"Chen Ping is right. All living things, including beings like this, have their weaknesses. We must observe them more closely."
Lucifer spread his wings and flew high above, looking down at the monster, trying to find any possible clues.
“Look! Those tentacles contract naturally at a certain frequency, as if they are channeling energy to a central point.” He pointed out a detail that might be the key to their breakthrough.
Angelica gripped the Chains of the Abyss tightly, her gaze following Lucifer's guidance.
“If we can interrupt that energy flow, perhaps we can weaken its regenerative power.” Her voice was calm and full of determination.
After deciding on their strategy, they began implementing their new plan.
Chen Ping used the ultimate operation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to weave through the tentacles, precisely severing those tentacles that contracted at a specific frequency, while Lucifer's Law launched a surprise attack from the air, using dark energy to disrupt the natural rhythm of those tentacles.
Gabriel provided support from the rear, her holy light not only healing her teammates but also attempting to purify the severed tentacles to prevent them from growing back.
Angelica, on the other hand, ventured deep into the monster's core area, using the power of the abyss to create chaos and directly interfere with the unknown energy source.
In a precise surprise attack, she successfully bound an exceptionally large tentacle and directed the other three to focus their attacks on it.
As time went on, and as they continued to attack the energy-conveying tentacles, the unspeakable monster's recovery rate slowed significantly. It began to show signs of fatigue, and its attacks were no longer as fierce as before.
Chen Ping and his men seized this opportunity and intensified their offensive, each attack becoming more precise and powerful.
"We're almost there! Concentrate your firepower on that area that's suspected to be the energy core!" Chen Ping shouted.
The combined strength of the four of them formed an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards the monster's vital points.
"Although the Source of Restoration has been destroyed, this monster originated from the Lord of Heaven and is clearly backed by a far more profound power. A head-on confrontation is not the way to go; we must outsmart it," Chen Ping said in a deep voice.
Lucifer folded his wings and paced back and forth, thinking: "Self-destruction... If we can find a way to make its own energy backfire, perhaps that will work."
Gabriel nodded thoughtfully: "We need a medium that can both attract the monster's attention and trigger a huge energy reaction at the right time."
Angelica gripped the Chains of the Abyss tightly, her eyes gleaming: "I have a bold idea, but I need your cooperation."
At Angelica's suggestion, a new plan quickly took shape.
Angelica: "What do you guys think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping said, "It's worth a try."
Lucifer and Gabriel nodded in agreement.
They decided to exploit the monster's thirst for energy and set a trap.
Chen Ping used the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to create a false energy core, and Gabriel infused it with carefully controlled holy light energy, which was both pure and contained potential explosive power.
The Luciferian Law prepared a layer of dark energy to make this false core appear more alluring.
Finally, Angelica used the power of the abyss to set up a trigger mechanism inside the core. Once the monster devours the core, it will trigger an energy explosion from the inside out.
When the unspeakable monster became even more ferocious due to its injury, they slowly lured this elaborate trap towards it.
The monster seemed to sense the immense energy contained within it; its massive body began to tremble, its tentacles thrashed wildly, and finally, it recklessly devoured the false core.
At that very moment, Angelica activated the Abyss Trigger mechanism. A dazzling light erupted from the monster's body, followed by a series of deafening explosions.
Energy surged wildly within the monster's body, and its originally boundless regenerative power became the fuse that ignited its self-destruction.
As the false core was devoured by the unspeakable monster, Chen Ping, Lucifer, Gabriel, and Angelica held their breath, watching the situation unfold with bated breath.
The trap they laid is now facing its most critical and dangerous test.
Within the false core, the holy light energy and dark energy began to clash fiercely within the monster's body. These two extreme forces should not coexist. If Chen Ping's magic had not isolated the two energies from contact, this trap would not have been possible.
They produced a violent reaction within their indescribable bodies.
Chen Ping and the others kept a close watch from the outside. They could sense an unprecedented energy fluctuation brewing within that enormous body.
At first, the energy seemed to be trying to merge, but soon, due to the incredible regenerative power of the Lord of Heaven's transformed form, the energy cluster failed to erupt as expected. Instead, it was assimilated and repaired by a mysterious force.
This caused the energy cluster to constantly twist, compress, expand, and recombine within the monster's body. Each change caused the monster to writhe in agony, its tentacles flailing wildly, as if resisting the torment from within.
Chen Ping was secretly anxious, worried that the plan might backfire and make the monster even stronger.
But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred—the suppressed energy cluster began to exhibit unusual vitality. It seemed to sense the hostility of its surroundings and began to seek a way out on its own.
Within the unspeakable monster, the energy cluster underwent transformation after transformation, absorbing a portion of the monster's own regenerative power and converting it into a self-reinforcing force.
This force became increasingly unstable, and eventually, it found a way out—the network of tentacles that had once supplied energy to the monster.
Instantly, Chen Ping and the others realized something was wrong.
Chen Ping: "Holy crap, this is going to explode! Everyone get behind me right now!"
