Task Complete

Mosayus's carapace cracked?

Luo Jun, who was flying through the air with the wind, was dumbfounded. Although the crack was not smooth, the uneven surface was very regular. It was obviously not caused by external injury, but was meant to open!

So this thing isn't a snail, it's a scallop!

But what happened next sent chills down Luo Jun's spine.

Inside the cracked shell, a huge fleshy pillar suddenly grew out. This thing was thicker and larger than the three snail heads combined, but it was smooth on the surface, rounded at the end, and had no tentacles or those messy Bone Blades.

As for the three snail heads, they also changed. Each one branched out with countless fine tentacles and forks, which were then inserted upside down into the ground, supporting the two huge halves of the shell and the massive fleshy pillar. The end of the fleshy pillar pointed westward, baldly pointing at Old Yuan.

Its design somewhat resembles a cannon emplacement...

Could it be...?

Master!

Luo Jun struggled desperately, and in a moment of inspiration, he opened the Hundred Treasure Box, took out the Longitudinal and Horizontal Giant Cannon, and kicked it hard with both feet!

He kicked the giant cannon, sending it flying into the city like Meteor Fall From Sky. With a crash, it smashed the sculpture in the city square and stuck in the road.

Luo Jun seized this opportunity to gain a foothold, refreshed his Cloud Treading, and rushed towards the elders in one stride!

But it was too late!

The thick, fleshy pillar suddenly opened at its end, revealing a huge, blood-red eyeball. It blinked in Old Yuan's direction, and a beam of blood-red light shot out straight out, instantly engulfing Old Yuan!

"Master!"

Luo Jun's eyes were bloodshot. Although he was still far away, he could already feel the strength of the Blood-colored Light's energy. Its power was on a completely different level from any attack he had ever seen before!

If the previous speculation is correct, then this thing was designed from the beginning to kill the severely injured Karruth... This is truly the God-Slaying Power!

Even Deity might not be able to withstand it, let alone a mortal Cultivators whose meridians are damaged and who is not even at the Peak!

As the launch ended, the red light faded into the horizon, its destination in space unknown. As for Old Yuan, who had just been swept away, not a trace remained... reduced to ashes...

Luo Jun froze, collapsing helplessly onto the sand, filled with regret for not listening to his Master and for taking out that damned Cinerary Urn... Why!

Just as Luo Jun was overwhelmed with grief, the monster suddenly turned its cannon around and fired another shot in another direction!

What's going on?

Luo Jun was startled, then felt someone poke him from behind. He turned around and saw a shiny scalp.

"Master?"

"Don't just stand there, quickly put this thing away!" Old Yuan shoved the Cinerary Urn into Luo Jun's hands. "Hurry up and put it in the Hundred Treasure Box!"

Luo Jun hurriedly did as instructed. He glanced back at Mosayus, who was constantly changing the direction of his cannon fire. "What exactly is going on... Master, are you alright?"

"Of course it's nothing! Take a closer look!" Old Yuan stroked a few strands of hair that were fluttering in the wind.

Luo Jun looked up and saw several whirlwinds swirling in the air, and in each of them was the figure of Old Yuan holding Cinerary Urn.

"Those are all fake?" Luo Jun immediately realized.

"Of course!" Old Yuan sneered, "Who am I, your Master? Do you think I can be killed so easily?"

"But..." Luo Jun still didn't understand. "Isn't Mosayus tracking auras? Can a dummy fool him?"

"Of course not!" Old Yuan curled his lip. "You disobeyed me and made me waste a legendary-level consumable item!"

"A clone created from Legendary Treasure Item?" Luo Jun exclaimed in surprise, "It can even simulate the aura of Deity?"

"A real Deity certainly won't do," Old Yuan shook his head. "But Karruth has been dead for thousands of years, so simulating this remnant shouldn't be a problem. I created dozens of clones; that should keep it busy for a while..."

"So what's going on now?" Luo Jun looked at Mosayus, who was frantically attacking the clone. "After it's finished, will it be satisfied and give up on devouring the town?"

"It's even more serious now..." Old Yuan shook his head. "Activating this form consumes a lot of energy. After that, it either enters a long period of hibernation to slowly recover its energy, or it has to eat immediately to replenish its strength. Do you think it will let such a large city go?"

"They'll probably go even crazier then. It won't be enough to just swallow up Paramis City; they'll have to keep moving east and take over a few more smaller cities."

"This..." Luo Jun was dumbfounded. "Can't we use a clone to lure it away?"

"It's no use..." Old Yuan shook his head. "The range of its cannon is almost unlimited. It can hit you instantly no matter how far you run, and it can flatten any obstacles in the way... Instead of running further away, it's better to accelerate back and forth and fly around randomly. Maybe you can dodge one or two shots."

As they spoke, all of Old Yuan's clones had been cleared away, and the transformed Mosayus turned his cannons towards Paramis City.

But this time, the red eyeball didn't fire. Instead, it closed again, and then the entire eyeball crawled along the eye stalk to the back. Then, the huge fleshy pillar of the eye stalk split open from both sides, revealing a long, thin mouth full of sharp teeth!

At the same time, the three snail heads that served as supports began to wriggle, propelling the enormous body to the Paramis City. From there, countless tentacles sprouted and began to spread towards the city...

Faced with this scene, Luo Jun and Old Yuan could only watch from afar on the sand dunes outside the city. Luo Jun dared not take out the Cinerary Urn again.

This time, it truly couldn't be stopped...

However, while keeping an eye on the Paramis City, which was about to be swallowed up in the distance, Luo Jun was also paying attention to the mission information in his mind.

The task hasn't failed yet, and the deadline is fast approaching!

Five, four, three, two, one!

"Bite!"

"Mission ' Stop Mosayus from devouring Paramis City ' successful!"

"Mission Difficulty 100 points, Severity Coefficient 12x, final reward 1200 chips!"

"A total of 3318 Experience Points points were gained by using the dice ten times during the mission!"

Congratulations on leveling up!

"You have reached level 45 and are ready to draw a new skill."

"It has been detected that your level 44 attribute has not yet been drawn. The dice roll function cannot be used before it is drawn."

A series of notification sounds filled Luo Jun's mind, but looking at the Paramis City about to be swallowed up, he couldn't understand where his success lay.

"Hmm?" Just then, Old Yuan suddenly reacted. A ring on his hand suddenly lit up with a phantom image, pointing north.

"Something's coming!" Old Yuan exclaimed in delight. "This reaction... it's an angel!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Holy Light Spear, as thick as a skyscraper, shot out from the north and struck Mosayus squarely!
