Even Lu Ning fell silent as he watched the giant tentacles slowly undulating across the base city.
The others were even more shocked, their pupils dilating in disbelief, their faces filled with utter disbelief.
"...What kind of monster is this?! If just its tentacles are this big, how big must its body be?!" Nan Yu roared in horror.
Just as Lu Ning and the others fell silent, a tentacle not far from them pressed down hard on them.
It was extremely fast, even producing a sonic boom.
The violent force formed a shockwave that pressed down hard on Lu Ning and the others.
Even Lu Ning felt a little breathless, and Ke Qing and the others were forced to retreat by the shockwave.
Lu Ning gripped the crimson sword tightly with both hands, red and white light intertwining as the sword swept across, slashing towards the tentacles.
The sword light, hundreds of meters long, collided with the tentacles, yet it felt as if it were colliding with metal.
With a loud bang, the sword light was shattered, and the tentacles only paused for a moment before pressing down again.
Fortunately, this brief pause gave Lu Ning and the others a chance. They all retreated a distance, avoiding the attack range of the tentacles.
The tentacle slammed heavily onto the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble.
The shockwaves generated by the tentacles shattered the surrounding ground, and buildings on both sides collapsed.
The terrifying destructive power made Eileen and the others gasp in shock.
Lu Ning was the first to react and said, "Let's go in a different direction!"
The others also snapped out of their daze, changed direction, moved away from the tentacles, and continued to move out of the base city.
After getting some distance away, the group looked back and found that the tentacles behind them had not caught up.
This put everyone at ease.
Sherry, still somewhat shaken, asked, "...Was that tentacle unconscious?"
Nan Yu said, "That's possible. After all, there's still so much flesh and blood on the ground that hasn't been absorbed. That monster shouldn't have the energy to focus on us. It was probably just an unconscious action by the monster underground."
These words caused everyone to fall silent for a moment.
Eileen said in disbelief, "...Just an unconscious action is enough to cause such enormous destruction. If it were the real body, just how powerful would it be?!"
Nan Yu shook his head, then said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that monster must be at least at the Saint level."
Xu Hui nodded in agreement and said, "We've all seen how strong Captain Lu's sword is. Let alone an eighth-rank expert, even a ninth-rank expert, unless they are an awakened defensive expert, would not be able to withstand such an attack unscathed, right? Only a saint could do that."
The others nodded in agreement.
Lin Menglan sighed and said, "I hope the Sage arrives soon."
The others nodded in agreement.
Lu Ning continued to lead the way, allowing them to avoid the location of the tentacles.
Perhaps these tentacles are truly moving unconsciously; as long as you stay away from their attack range, you don't need to worry about being attacked.
After a while, Lu Ning and the others ran a distance toward the city wall of the base city.
However, it is still quite far from the city wall.
Just then, a sudden gust of wind blew up.
As the gale arose, all the tentacles, which had been dancing unconsciously, suddenly became ferocious.
All the tentacles were frantically pounding the surrounding earth.
The entire base city trembled under the pounding of these hundreds of tentacles, and buildings collapsed as if they were fragile bubbles.
Cracks appeared on the ground, spreading in all directions.
Lu Ning and the others, located in the base city, struggled to stand on the swaying ground.
Nan Yu and the others looked horrified.
This destructive power is simply beyond human imagination!
Just then, a streak of azure light approached from a great distance at an extremely fast speed.
Wherever the streak of light passed, waves of air surged, and the clouds and mist dispersed.
In a mere instant, the streak of light came to a stop in the sky above the base city.
The stream of light transformed into a human figure.
It was the same Qinglan Saint whom Lu Ning had met before.
The Azure Saint's expression at this moment was not as leisurely as when Lu Ning saw him in Base City 116. He rode the wind through the air, looking down at the base city below, his expression very solemn.
However, Qinglan Saint quickly noticed something and shifted his gaze to the direction of Lu Ning and the others.
Upon seeing Lu Ning and his group, the Azure Mist Saint's expression softened slightly. Then, from several kilometers away, he reached out and grabbed at Lu Ning and his companions.
The next moment, the people who were standing on the ground seemed to be lifted up by a gust of wind.
They took to the air and flew towards Saint Qinglan at an extremely fast speed.
Upon arriving before the Sage Qinglan, Nanyu and the others greeted him respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Saint Qinglan nodded slightly, glanced at the group, and said, "You're the only ones who survived in the entire base city?"
Nan Yu nodded with a grim expression: "It's our dereliction of duty that we failed to detect the anomaly in advance and failed to save the ordinary people in the base city!"
Saint Qinglan shook his head, looked down at the frenzied tentacles, and said, "This is not your fault... It is already remarkable that you survived in the face of an evil god."
Everyone else remained silent.
Eileen looked at the tentacles below: "...Are those tentacles the evil god?"
Saint Qinglan nodded, then shook his head: "The bodies of these tentacles possess divinity, but their power is not as great as that of the evil god. They should be clones of the source of flesh and blood that have invaded Earth."
Saint Qinglan was clearly aware of the origins of the evil god behind the Crimson Cult.
He didn't say much, but said, "I'll send you out. Try to stay as far away as possible. If a fight breaks out later, I might not be able to take care of you."
