Chapter 287: Chapter 65: Legendary Black Water Crab; Fierce Battle and Slumber_3
The gray crab, feeling its mind injured, let out a cry, its enormous crab body struggling wildly. Udi also let out a muffled groan as several thick Black Water Spears forcibly pierced through the Dragon Body. After penetrating the Dragon Body, those Black Water Spears collapsed into Black Water, remaining in the wounds and transforming into even finer Black Water Spikes, continuously expanding the damage from within.
Feeling the Black Water Energy rampaging through his Dragon Body, Udi let out a low roar, harnessing the Spiritual Energy accumulated over more than two years during the Banquet to fully erupt. Though his massive Magic Power and formidable Dragon Body could not stop the ravage of Black Water Energy, under the extreme purity of the intensive Spiritual Energy wash, it only persisted for a brief moment before being completely extinguished.
At the same time, Udi’s form underwent a rapid Transformation, from a robust Dragon Body just over sixty meters tall to a muscular Dragon-man exceeding eighty meters in height.
All the Spiritual Energy within gathered onto Udi’s tightly clenched left Dragon Fist, accompanied by terrifying Dragon Power, unleashing the most powerful attack in Udi’s current arsenal.
"Rolling Stone Strike!!"
With a low roar in his heart, the Spiritual Martial Technique, whose Skill Level reached Beginner 31% after two years, burst forth mightily on the exceptionally hard forehead of the enormous gray crab.
An invisible and terrifying shock wave swept around, forming a massive waterless area in the sea a kilometer deep at that moment.
With a crunch, the exceedingly hard crab shell safeguarding the forehead of the gray crab finally couldn’t withstand the terrifying Force and shattered with a bang, exposing its tender innards and crab meat.
Perceiving imminent death, the Legendary Gray Crab let out an unwilling shrill cry, bursting its life’s final strike with all its might. A large amount of Weight of Water condensed into a triangular spike energy form, aiming to pierce with a speed even Udi found difficult to evade.
The Diya Harut Dragon on the side, struggling to intervene in the battle, had a flash in its eyes, launching two Purple Light Mental Attacks at the gray crab. Causing the crab’s mind to falter for an extremely brief moment, weakening its control over the Triangular Black Water Needle, this allowed Udi to narrowly dodge it.
Meanwhile, the massive Dragon Tail, already poised and ready, seized this prime opportunity without fail. With a shadowy flash, it lashed the exposed head of the gray crab, now unprotected by the crab shell, causing it to burst open.
In its death throes, this nearly nineteen hundred-year-old Legendary Black Water Crab, ruler of the sea domain, faded into eternal Darkness.
A fluid-like black mist flew from the gray crab’s body; this was the materialized Legendary Soul.
Udi, already prepared, directly controlled the Black Jar, crafted from his own Dragon Scales, capturing it.
A Legendary Soul is an incredibly precious material, especially since Udi’s Banquet can also devour souls, possibly yielding great benefits from it.
The soul of a sentient being, if it does not have faith in a Divine Spirit, can be captured as long as there’s a method to capture souls.
If a Divine Spirit is believed in, then the soul will be guided into the Divine Kingdom at the moment of death, a process no ordinary being can prevent. Even if one could, they’d be marked by the wrathful spirit. Some petty Divine Spirits can watch you until death, and when you hide away in the Material Plane, they’ll still claim your soul after death... In such instances, if you have no faith in a Divine Spirit, or your spirit’s power isn’t strong enough, then the fate would undoubtedly be quite miserable.
Clearly, this Legendary Black Water Crab did not hold faith in a Divine Spirit, allowing Udi to capture the soul... This, one might say, was fortunate.
After all, the more ignorant and weak a being is, the more they tend to worship and be loyal to a Divine Spirit.
In the Star Realm, only Casters and some inherently powerful-blooded creatures don’t usually believe in Divine Spirits.
For instance, the Giant Dragon, Titan, Divine Abomination, Ancient Star Beast...
These beings are inherently mighty, and such existence, from the day of their birth, very deeply understands that a Divine Spirit is just an extremely powerful lifeform. They themselves have the opportunity, or even inevitably, as they grow, to access this level, naturally making it hard to worship or believe in a Divine Spirit.
After dealing with the Legendary Black Water Crab, Udi finally had a moment to assess his injuries.
Looking down, he saw several bloody holes on his body pierced by the Black Water Spear, as well as numerous dark wounds caused by Black Water Energy internally in his Dragon Body, and he let out a slow sigh of relief, heart palpitating with lingering fear.
This Black Water Energy is legitimate Legendary Energy, qualitatively at least dozens of times purer than Udi’s Magic Power. Even the pure Spiritual Energy born from Banquet’s faith is comparatively inferior.
However, the gap between the Banquet’s Spiritual Energy and Black Water Energy isn’t that vast. Finally, by unleashing the full brunt of accumulated Banquet Spiritual Energy over two years, alongside the formidable Dragon Body and rich Magic Power, the invasive Black Water Energy was forcibly eradicated. — If there had been more Black Water Energy invading, Udi would have been in grave danger.
The reason Legendary Energy is so troublesome is that upon ascending to Legendary, there’s a massive transformation in Energy Level, and secondly, it involves their comprehension of Legendary Truth.
The power of Legendary Energy combined with Legendary Truth is why it erupts with such terrifying might.
Even though the Legendary Truth comprehended by this Black Water Crab upon ascending did not seem fully displayed, Udi, amidst intense combat, could generally ascertain it.
And that is—[Weight of Water]
Whether it’s the Black Water Spear it condensed or the unformed Black Water Energy, it is extremely heavy, with a drop of Black Water heavier than steel of the same volume.
