Chapter 874 - 868: Tentacle Treasure Tower, Trapped

After devouring the black water left by their fallen companion, the remaining Chaos Star Beasts became noticeably stronger.

To say nothing of their other attributes, their size alone saw a significant increase.

In the Heaven and Earth, on the Heaven and Earth Arena, Lin Yuan would fear no one.

"Clang!"

A sharp sword cry echoed, and with Lin Yuan at the center, sword flowers bloomed within a few hundred meters radius.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Soft explosions rang out as black blood flowers erupted from the bodies of the surrounding Chaos Star Beasts.

However, such injuries didn’t end the Chaos Star Beasts’ lives.

Instead, it made them even more irritable.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

The distinct roars of the Chaos Star Beasts sounded as they launched an attack on Lin Yuan, almost simultaneously.

This time it wasn’t a single Chaos Star Beast charging at Lin Yuan.

Instead, it was a coordinated attack.

Two or three dozen Chaos Star Beasts’ tentacles intertwined, forming a giant black net that aimed to ensnare Lin Yuan.

This massive net woven from the tentacles of the Chaos Star Beasts exerted a tremendous pressure on Lin Yuan.

Faintly, it seemed like the feeling of Mount Tai crushing down on him, making it hard for Lin Yuan to breathe.

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt as if he were Sun Wukong trapped beneath the Five Elements Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha.

Seeing the approaching giant black net, Lin Yuan shouted in his heart, "I am not Sun Wukong, and you are not the Tathagata Buddha."

"Even if you were, I would make all the gods and Buddhas vanish like smoke."

In the next moment, Lin Yuan wielded the Human King Sword, pointing it at the firmament.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The Human King Sword engaged in intense combat, vibrating at an extremely high frequency, radiating unimaginably terrifying energy.

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

Lin Yuan incessantly swung the sword, unleashing Sword Qi as if it were a torrential downpour.

The sound of sword cries rang out as the tentacles of the Chaos Star Beasts fell, shattering into tiny fragments on the ground.

The Human King Sword continuously moved, flashes of sword light kept appearing, and the tentacles of the Chaos Star Beasts kept dropping.

Lin Yuan, like a barber, treated the tentacles of the Chaos Star Beasts as unruly hair, constantly cutting them off.

Soon enough, the two or three dozen Chaos Star Beasts were all shaved bald by Lin Yuan.

The analogy of shaving heads is quite apt.

The tentacles of the two or three dozen Chaos Star Beasts were entirely shaved away by Lin Yuan, falling messily to the ground like the tentacles of grilled squid.

Floating in the air were only the Chaos Star Beasts without tentacles.

They looked like large floating bald heads.

Lin Yuan looked at the bald Chaos Star Beasts he had created, a proud expression on his face.

However, he didn’t have long to revel in his success.

An anomaly occurred.

The tentacles severed and fallen to the ground, like squid tentacles, began to writhe at astonishing speed.

Countless severed chaos void tentacles, in their writhing, formed a Linglong Treasure Tower, trapping Lin Yuan upside down within it.

Just a moment ago, the situation looked bright for Lin Yuan.

In an instant, an anomaly occurred.

Instead, Lin Yuan was trapped by the Chaos Star Beasts.

"Roar!"

"Roar! Roar!"

Seeing Lin Yuan trapped within the Tentacle Treasure Tower, the Chaos Star Beasts floating around emitted their unique calls once again.

These calls were tremendously eerie, seemingly carrying an undeniable hint of laughter.

Indeed, these Chaos Star Beasts were laughing.

They were feeling proud.

At this moment, trapped inside the Tentacle Treasure Tower, Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings.

Trapped here, all he could see were writhing tentacles.

At this moment, Lin Yuan keenly sensed that things might not be going well.

Attempting to leap into the air, he felt an inexplicable force pulling him, preventing him from ascending.

The tentacles beneath him, continually writhing, made it hard for Lin Yuan to exert any strength.

This Linglong Treasure Tower, composed of countless Chaos Star Beasts’ tentacles, seemed like an isolated space.

On the Heaven and Earth Arena, Lin Yuan held the home-field advantage.

However, upon entering this Tentacle Treasure Tower, the Chaos Star Beasts seized the home-field advantage.

This Tentacle Treasure Tower seemed to contain the ability to suppress anything non-Chaos space.

Even with all his skills, Lin Yuan couldn’t deploy them here.

As a result, Lin Yuan found himself in a deadlock.

Trapped within this Tentacle Treasure Tower, he couldn’t display his abilities.

Unable to exhibit his skills, he couldn’t leave the Linglong Treasure Tower.

After examining the surrounding scene, Lin Yuan felt slightly anxious.

He couldn’t hold back and began trying different methods to escape from this tentacle-woven tower.

"Clang!" Lin Yuan drew the Human King Sword, stabbing towards the writhing tentacles on the edge of the Linglong Treasure Tower.

"Plop!"

As the Human King Sword pierced into the writhing tentacles, black as ink fluid gushed out like a fountain.

Within this Tentacle Treasure Tower, composed of tentacles, Lin Yuan couldn’t display his full potential.

Faced with the gushing black fluid, he couldn’t dodge it nor block it.

Fortunately, even inside this tentacle-woven Linglong Treasure Tower, the Human King Sword remained sharp, and the Human King Armor was still solid.

Just as the black ink-like fluid was about to contact Lin Yuan’s body, a cyan glow erupted from the Human King Armor, forming a cyan energy shield that protected him.

Seeing the Human King Armor demonstrate its power, blocking the dark fluid, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Lin Yuan knew that this dark fluid was a high-quality supplement for the Chaos Star Beasts, but for him, it was poison that could corrode the flesh and soul.

With the Human King Armor blocking the black fluid, and with his worries relieved, Lin Yuan continued wielding the Human King Sword, slicing through the writhing tentacles around him.

At this moment, Lin Yuan seemed trapped inside a fleshy mountain, clawing his way out from the mountain’s belly, trying to carve a path out.

Lin Yuan kept digging!

He kept digging!

Even after several hours of continuous excavation, he hadn’t yet carved a way out.

At this moment, when he looked around, all he could see were the ever-writhing tentacles.

Even the path he had taken seemed to have disappeared completely.

These tentacles were constantly moving, and the tentacles he had previously clawed through must have writhed elsewhere.

With no path back, Lin Yuan had no choice but to keep digging.

One day, two days, three days....

Half a month, a month, three months...

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had been digging for half a year.

Yet, after half a year, he still hadn’t found an exit.

Before him were still the ever-writhing tentacles; he was trapped inside this tentacle-woven Linglong Treasure Tower.

It seemed like he would never find a way out.
