The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

These patterns eventually converge on the front of the statue to form an indescribable symbol.

Its statue has a ferocious appearance, yet it also gives people a sense of majesty.

It has a humanoid torso and limbs, but its head is more like that of some kind of deep-sea monster, covered with bone spurs and wrinkles, with a pair of empty eye sockets looking down, exuding a chilling pressure.

In front of the statue is an altar made of the same material, on which is placed a pearl about the size of a human head, entirely indigo, with what appears to be flowing water inside.

Around the statue, all the way to the wall, were neatly stacked boxes of the same style, with dark gold metal inlaid on the edges.

These boxes were so numerous that they almost filled most of the hall, shimmering with light and leaving everyone speechless.

An even more intense energy fluctuation emanated from each of the boxes.

At this moment, even the well-informed Deputy Leader Qian couldn't help but breathe more heavily.

Feilong and Chen Hu stared intently at the treasure chests, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Even Han Ning's heart skipped a beat.

"So many treasures, we're rich now..."

This was the first thought in everyone's mind at the scene.

"Be careful, there's a barrier." Li Qingshui cautiously observed the surroundings and waved to signal everyone not to go in directly.

He chose to approach slowly from the edge of the palace wall, close to the base of the wall.

But just as Li Qingshui, who was at the very front, stepped one foot into the edge of the wall...

Mutation regeneration.

Without warning, the walls around the main hall suddenly lit up with a blinding blue light.

"Oh no!" Everyone's expression changed.

Even though everyone was careful, they still fell for the trick.

hum~

An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended, making the air itself incredibly viscous, as if it had turned into heavy mercury, squeezing everyone's body.

at the same time.

A loud "boom" came from the passage behind them. The black stone door that had just been opened, as well as the entrance to the passage they had come from, were completely sealed off by the heavy stone door that suddenly fell down.

"What trick are you up to now?!" Deputy Chief Qian exclaimed, both shocked and furious.

In the center of the hall, brilliant blue light rapidly converged, and the dense moisture almost turned into a solid white mist, filling the entire space.

"Roar!!"

Amidst the white mist, accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed to come from the ancient deep sea, a towering figure rapidly materialized.

This is a giant whale made entirely of pure water energy.

Its size almost filled half of the hall. It was completely blue and transparent, with an astonishing presence, no less than the jellyfish monster they had encountered before, and perhaps even stronger.

As soon as the energy whale took shape, its enormous tail swung violently.

boom! ! !

A single sway of this pure energy body unleashed a devastating energy surge.

The energy within the entire hall seemed to be drained, then compressed, and finally erupted violently.

A terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept forward in a fan shape, cracking the dark blue ground in its path and easily tearing apart the stacked treasure chests, scattering their contents everywhere.

Li Qingshui, who was directly hit by the shockwave, didn't even have time to react before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the stone gate that had just fallen behind him.

I don’t know if I’m dead or alive.

"careful!"

"Block!"

Han Ning, Deputy Leader Qian, and Zhao Kai reacted the fastest, almost simultaneously reaching the front.

The missile launch bays on the back of Deputy Leader Qian's armor were fully opened, and several micro missiles shot out, trailing plumes of flame. However, they were annihilated and detonated the moment they came into contact with the shockwave, exploding into small bursts of fire.

Zhao Kai roared, pushing his Black Iron level strength to its limit. His iron-gray body swelled, and his giant axe slashed fiercely at the terrifying shockwave.

boom!

Zhao Kai and his giant axe were violently thrown back, countless fine cracks appeared on his iron-gray skin, and blood gushed out.

Han Ning's eyes shone brightly with starlight, and he pushed his hands forward, instantly forming a thick shield made of dazzling starlight.

Click...!

The Starfire Shield shattered after only half a second. Han Ning groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Using the recoil, he slid back more than ten meters before barely managing to deflect the terrifying impact.

The others behind him were thrown about by the shockwave, and Chen Hu, who was slightly weaker, spat out another mouthful of blood.

The power of the energy whale's single strike was terrifying!

Its enormous eyes, composed entirely of energy, turned indifferently, locking onto the intruder. Its body once again glowed with a dazzling blue light, and the next attack was imminent.

"Qingshui! What is this?!" Feilong cried out in despair as he helped the heavily injured Li Qingshui to his feet.

Li Qingshui's face was ashen, and he was barely breathing. He stared at the azure statue and the giant energy whale, his eyes filled with terror.

“The sea god…it is the wrath of the sea god…they…they stole the sea god’s power…”

"We are no match for the power of the Sea God. We're finished!"

"Bullshit!" Deputy Chief Qian clearly didn't believe in any superstitious nonsense. His entire armor burst forth with a dazzling silver light, and the cannon barrels on his back extended, aimed at the giant whale.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another terrifying energy surge struck.

This time, it was no longer an energy wave. The energy whale opened its massive mouth, which was entirely composed of water-based energy, and an extremely compressed energy sphere, with what appeared to be thunder swirling inside, condensed within its mouth.

"It's about to unleash some kind of high-concentration energy attack!" Yu Na's face turned pale as she shrieked a warning. Her mental power had detected the destructive power contained within the energy sphere.

There was no time to think; everyone reacted almost instinctively.

"Star Shield!" Han Ning roared, his eyes flashing with emerald green and starlight, as he pushed his hands forward, and the dazzling starlight shield condensed once more.

Snowcake was of one mind with him, pressing its claws hard against the ground. A dim yellow halo suddenly spread out from it, and the double gravity combined to try to suppress and deflect the impending attack.

Chapter 240 (This last part is a bit awkward and doesn't translate directly.)

"Gas Barrier!" Ignoring the laceration on his waist, Feilong compressed the invisible airflow around him to its limit, forming a distorted air wall in front of him.

The missile bay on the back of Vice Leader Qian's battle armor and the energy cannon on his shoulder fired at full power, with blazing white energy beams and several miniature missiles shooting out in an attempt to intercept or weaken the energy sphere in advance.

Zhao Kai roared and planted the giant axe in front of him. His iron-gray body expanded again, and he became like a real metal barrier.

Liang Shu wielded her spear like a wheel, and silver energy swirled around everyone like a whirlwind.

boom! ! !

The azure energy sphere detached from the giant energy whale's maw and exploded the instant it left, transforming into an incredibly thick and devastating torrent of energy that swallowed up the defenses that everyone had painstakingly built!

Snap! Plop!

The dragon's airflow barrier shattered first, and it was blasted away, spitting out blood.

The missiles and energy beams fired by Deputy Leader Qian vanished without a trace, like water thrown into a raging fire. His armor emitted a piercing overload alarm, and he was thrown off his feet by the aftershocks of the energy.

Liang Shu's silver whirlwind was forcibly torn apart, the spear slipped from her hand, and her tiger's mouth was split open.

Zhao Kai's iron-gray body emitted a teeth-grinding creaking sound as it was pushed backward by the torrent, leaving deep furrows. The metallic luster on his body instantly dimmed, and cracks spread.

The destructive beam of light was still raging, and only Han Ning's Starlight Shield was barely holding on.

But soon, the starlight began to dim, and a terrifying energy surged into his chest.

"Ugh!" He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, his throat tasted sweet, and his body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily against the cold, black stone wall. His vision went black for a moment.

"Ouch!"

Snowcake wailed in agony, having endured the greatest impact. Large areas of its hard scales were charred and cracked, and it was covered in blood.

It stood in front of everyone, like a reef being battered by the tide.

But this reef is already full of cracks and could be destroyed at any time.

The people behind them were even more dazed and confused, covered in blood, and unable to even stand up.

"Snow Cracker, hang in there."

Han Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, leaped into the air, and transformed into the form of a Xuanjia Turtle.

With a thunderous roar, the giant tortoise blocked Xuebing's path, its body covered in thick layers of rock armor.

Heavy Rock Shield Armor!

The next moment.

boom!

A torrent of power relentlessly bombarded the rocks that Han Ning had solidified.

The rocks shattered and then struck Han Ning's hard tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell shook violently, and cracks appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The entire hall trembled violently, and the aftershocks of the rampant energy lingered for a long time.

"Humph……"

Han Ning groaned, blood gushing from his head hidden beneath the tortoise shell. His spiritual energy rapidly depleted, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Do you have any other ideas? I... I can't hold on much longer..."

He gritted his teeth, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Woo~"

Snowcake cried out in anguish, trying to drag its heavily injured body in front of its master, but was flung away by Han Ning's vine.

No one answered him, because the others had been knocked unconscious by the violent energy fluctuations.

Just when Han Ning felt he couldn't hold on any longer and was about to see his great-grandmother.
