Chapter 27: Fierce Battle
"You two, just stay up there and watch the show."
Above Fog Island, in the temporary floating command post set up by the Limit Martial Arts Academy, Hong Ping's calm voice clearly reached the ears of Thor and Luo Feng.
On the enormous holographic screen in the command center, a massive, heart-stopping red energy source lay quietly dormant in the depths of the lake at the center of the island below. It was the Tentacle Beast King that had just ascended to power and attracted global attention.
At this moment, the top forces of the world's five major powers have almost all gathered in the skies above this sea area. Various uniquely designed fighter jets hover in the clouds, each representing a powerful force. Above the lake, figures float—these are humanity's most elite warriors. All eyes are fixed on the lake below, the atmosphere so tense it's almost palpable.
This is the first time since the Great Rebirth of human civilization that humanity has dared to actively gather its forces to hunt down a royal-level monster!
This was not just a simple military operation, but a ceremony to demonstrate human power to all monsters.
Luo Feng, his face filled with disbelief, blurted out, "Master, this...this Beast King is no ordinary beast. We'll have a better chance of success if we attack together!"
Hong simply waved his hand, not even glancing back at the so-called strongmen with their varied expressions, as if he were just talking about a trivial matter like going for a walk.
"It's okay, I'm confident."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong nodded to Thor. His figure then plummeted silently from ten thousand meters in the sky like a black pebble thrown down towards the vast lake shrouded in thick fog below.
There was no sonic boom, not even a splash on the sea surface; his figure simply blended into the deep blue, as if he had never existed.
Inside the temporary command post, along with the command centers of all the base cities around the world that were watching the battle, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the huge holographic screen.
On the screen, a faint golden dot representing Hong is approaching the enormous red energy source at a terrifying speed that defies the laws of physics.
1,000 meters... 3,000 meters... 5,000 meters...
The terrifying water pressure of the deep sea is enough to crush the most advanced nuclear submarine into a lump of scrap metal in an instant, but it seems to have no effect on that golden dot.
Soon, a colossal creature appeared before Hong's eyes, one that surprised even him.
It lay coiled on the dark seabed, its enormous body stretched out, its length exceeding three thousand meters. Several giant tentacles, as thick as mountains, were scattered around it, each covered with wrinkled skin as hard as rock, and each with energy nodes that gleamed with a bloodthirsty red light, like eyes.
That is the target this time - the Tentacle Beast King.
Hong's arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly startling this deep-sea overlord who was adapting to the surging power within him.
"Roar~~~"
A silent roar, which did not travel through the seawater but seemed to explode directly at the soul level, emanated from the Beast King's body.
That enormous, despair-inducing shadow slowly rose from the silence at the bottom of the lake.
The next moment, a thick tentacle nearly a kilometer long, like a giant deep-sea serpent that had been completely enraged, stirred up terrifying undercurrents, tore through the darkness, and swept madly toward Hong, this tiny intruder!
"Boom!"
Above Kirishima, everyone felt the lake beneath their feet begin to tremble violently.
The lake below seemed to have been hit by a depth charge, exploding violently!
A terrifying tentacle, over twenty meters in diameter and nearly a kilometer long, shot into the sky with immense force. Covered in rock-like wrinkles and grotesque suckers, the tentacle churned and swung wildly in mid-air, like a colossal black pillar supporting the heavens, sweeping across a kilometer-wide area of airspace.
Countless aquatic monsters in the lake, unable to dodge in time, were instantly crushed into mincemeat by the immense force of the tentacles' churning, turning large swaths of the lake water a murky dark red. Some that were a little further away were also thrown hundreds of meters into the air by the terrifying force, crashing down like dumplings being dropped into a pot, suffering severe injuries if not death.
The members of parliament present, including Luo Feng, all turned pale.
The aftershocks alone were so powerful; what terrifying attacks were the floodwaters, directly facing its edge underwater, enduring?!
However, Hong, underwater, merely watched this devastating attack with indifference.
He did not open the domain directly.
The miniature star within his body, formed from the compression of countless energies, began to accelerate wildly at this moment.
An immense force, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly poured into his limbs and bones.
"Bang!"
Hong stepped into the water, seemingly casually.
The seawater beneath his feet was instantly compressed by an unimaginable force, forming a transparent depression visible to the naked eye, with a diameter of over ten meters.
His body, using this powerful reaction force, transformed into a golden stream of light that could not be concealed even in the dark depths of the sea, advancing instead of retreating, actively meeting the giant tentacles that were waving all over the sky!
In his hand, the dark gold spear that had accompanied him in battle for many years seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit at this moment, emitting an excited hum as if it had come alive.
"puff!"
Hong's figure crossed paths with one of the tentacles that was being pulled out.
The spear tip, spinning at a high speed that made one's teeth ache, struck the side of the giant tentacle with unparalleled precision at an incredibly tricky angle.
That tough outer skin, strong enough to withstand the frontal bombardment of naval cannons, was torn open like paper by the spearhead containing spiral penetrating power, leaving a huge gash that exposed bone.
Dark green blood, emitting a foul stench, gushed out like a high-pressure water jet, instantly staining a large area of the sea green.
The Tentacle Beast King let out a painful roar, becoming even more ferocious.
Its massive, abyss-like maw, located at the center of its body, suddenly opened wide, unleashing a high-pressure water cannon, compressed to its limit and shimmering with a ghostly blue light, mixed with highly corrosive and toxic ink, which tore through the darkness like a laser beam and shot towards Hongbao.
The attack was so fast and powerful that it could level a small hill in an instant!
However, Hong merely flickered his body, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the water cannon.
On everyone's communication watch screens outside, the golden dot representing Hong was like a highly skilled matador, circling the disproportionately large body of the Tentacle Beast King at a dazzling, high-speed pace.
With each strike of his spear, he left wounds of varying depths at the base of the Beast King's tentacles, at the joints, and on the energy nodes that shimmered with red light.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the green blood almost turned the bottom of the lake into a battlefield.
But for the Beast King's enormous size, these were merely superficial wounds, not fatal at all, and instead fueled its ferocity. Tentacles lashed out wildly at Hong, creating towering waves on the lake's surface.
