Origin Light

Ye Lan looked at the Ancient Beast's Touch leaping into the air. It had fully spread its seven tentacles, along with the one Ye Lan had twisted down to less than half its length.

The seven tentacles, each over ten meters long, spread wide to form a spiraling circular cage more than thirty meters across.

Even when facing such a massive creature, Ye Lan's eyes never showed the slightest trace of fear.

Ye Lan's mind was clearer than ever as the Ancient Beast's Touch was about to crush him.

Ye Lan heard the Old Fisherman opening the door to the captain's cabin.

Ye Lan knew the Old Fisherman intended to help him.

After all, a cowardly person would only be curled up on the ground now, covering their mouth and not daring to make the slightest sound.

Ye Lan did not want an ordinary person to risk his life for him, so he shouted.

"Sir, don't move! I've got this!"

The Ancient Beast's Touch spread its tentacles, stretching its body in triumph at the moment of victory.

But before it could rejoice for long, its lower body suddenly felt intense pain surge through all its tentacles.

The wounds left on its eight tentacles by the Blue Silver Grass's constriction were constantly being eaten away by agony.

Its mouthparts, filled with sharp serrated teeth, were utterly overwhelmed by intense bitterness.

It turned out that while Ye Lan had been fighting the Ancient Beast's Touch in midair, he had already considered his escape route.

Using the regenerated Blue Silver Grass, he dragged the two sacks of Sea Salt to a spot not far behind him.

Just as Ye Lan was about to fall onto the deck, he used the Blue Silver Grass to pull himself down beside the two sacks of Sea Salt.

The Ancient Beast's Touch believed it had found a killing opportunity, but no such opportunity existed.

Its leaping crushing strike had instead given Ye Lan the perfect chance to use the sacks of salt.

Still in the air, the Ancient Beast's Touch could not see Ye Lan's movements beneath it at all.

Beneath the Ancient Beast's Touch's tentacles and mouthparts, Ye Lan scattered one sack of Sea Salt over a wide area, then directly threw the other sack into the Ancient Beast's Touch's mouth.

Afterward, Ye Lan used the Blue Silver Grass to pull himself out of the center of the Ancient Beast's Touch's crushing range. In the end, he was only pressed down by its tentacles and suffered no real injuries.

Ye Lan looked up at the Ancient Beast's Touch. Its wounds were now being pickled by Sea Salt, and it struggled continuously in agony.

Its enormous body rolled endlessly across the deck, several twisted tentacles lashing about as it tried to shake off every grain of Sea Salt clinging to it.

Although the Ancient Beast's Touch's nerves were drowned in pain, its instinct to survive still drove it to slowly crawl toward the fishing boat's railing, attempting to escape into the sea.

Ye Lan noticed that the Ancient Beast's Touch intended to flee, but he gave it no chance to approach the railing.

After taking a brief moment to catch his breath, Ye Lan's twenty-four Blue Silver Grass strands had fully regenerated.

Twenty-four Golden Blue Silver Grass strands wrapped around the Ancient Beast's Touch. Ye Lan could now control the Blue Silver Grass within a radius of fifteen meters.

The Ancient Beast's Touch's nerves were consumed by pain, leaving it with no energy at all to deal with the Blue Silver Grass closing in on it.

The Blue Silver Grass gradually enveloped the Ancient Beast's Touch, attempting to strangle it to death completely.

Just as the Ancient Beast's Touch was about to be wrapped into an enormous rice dumpling by the Blue Silver Grass, massive amounts of black energy erupted from its dozens of blood-red eyes.

The black energy gathered into a sphere, and before the twisted sphere had even fully taken shape—

The black sphere instantly collapsed inward, unleashing a startling black-purple energy wave that blasted the Blue Silver Grass apart from within.

Most of the Golden Blue Silver Grass was annihilated, scattering across the ground as golden-green fragments.

The black-purple energy wave continued to spray upward, shooting straight into the sky.

The reason this Ancient Beast's Touch had blood-red eyes was that it was a mutated Ancient Beast's Touch.

It possessed the Dual Attributes of Darkness and Water.

The black-purple energy wave was the Ancient Beast's Touch's final counterattack!

After using this attack, it would be unable to use it again for an entire month.

Once the black energy wave blasted apart the Blue Silver Grass's encirclement, the Ancient Beast's Touch regained its vision from the darkness.

Its dozens of blood-red eyes all turned toward Ye Lan.

The blood-red eyes instantly locked onto Ye Lan's position, and the Ancient Beast's Touch turned its head with all its strength.

Ye Lan was shocked by the Ancient Beast's Touch's final desperate counterattack. The destructive power of this black-purple energy wave definitely surpassed that of a Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Worthy of being the King among Octopus Soul Beasts. Faced with the Ancient Beast's Touch's black-purple energy wave—

Ye Lan could have used the remaining Blue Silver Grass to shift away and evade it.

But behind him was the Old Fisherman's captain's cabin. If the black-purple energy wave swept through it, the Old Fisherman would certainly not survive!

Ye Lan circulated the little Soul Power he had left and summoned all the Blue Silver Grass still regenerating within his body.

That was right. Blue Silver Grass that had not yet regenerated could exist in energy form. This was the talent the Extreme Light Attribute bestowed upon the Blue Silver Grass.

Physical Blue Silver Grass was the Blue Silver Grass—Living Form. Energy-form Blue Silver Grass was the Blue Silver Grass—Radiant Form.

More than a dozen strands of Blue Silver Grass transformed into light energy gathered together, forming a Light Energy Ball! The Light Energy Ball was like a White Hole in space, reflecting away all darkness.

"Feel the tranquility of light!"

"Origin Light!!!"

Following Ye Lan's shout, the black-purple energy wave collided with Origin Light.

In just a few breaths, Origin Light continuously scattered the black-purple energy wave, blasting its cross-section into an inverted cone.

The black energy wave of Ancient Beast's Touch was completely unable to withstand Origin Light.

After all, Origin Light possessed the Extreme Light Attribute, making it exceptionally effective against darkness. Unless Ancient Beast's Touch possessed the Extreme Dark Attribute, it could contend with Origin Light's sphere of light.

Clearly, this mutated Ancient Beast's Touch did not possess the Extreme Dark Attribute.

Origin Light steadily crushed through the black radiance of Ancient Beast's Touch. Its dozens of blood-red eyes could only watch helplessly as Origin Light drew ever closer, terror twisting within them.

If Ancient Beast's Touch had still been at full strength, this energy sphere definitely would not have been able to kill it. But the Blond Youth had depleted it far too severely.

As a result, Ancient Beast's Touch could not resist the golden energy sphere before it at all.

Under Ancient Beast's Touch's despairing gaze, it was swallowed by Origin Light.

An intense white light erupted instantly, making the Black Sea seem as though dawn had arrived.

Through his Golden Eye, Ye Lan saw through the white light and clearly saw Ancient Beast's Touch collapse into a heap.

At last, he breathed a sigh of relief. Ancient Beast's Touch was finally dead.

It had not been easy for Ye Lan to take down an Ancient Beast's Touch with such extraordinarily high battle intelligence. It had been a worthy beast!

This battle had been extremely perilous. If he had not possessed the Extreme Light Attribute, it would have been difficult to say what the outcome would have been.

There was also a Cost to transforming Blue Silver Grass into light-attribute energy and entering Radiant Form.

First, Ye Lan could not control Blue Silver Grass in Radiant Form as freely as Blue Silver Grass in Living Form.

He could only condense Blue Silver Grass in Radiant Form into energy spheres as quickly as possible and launch energy attacks.

Second, Blue Silver Grass in Radiant Form could not regenerate rapidly like Blue Silver Grass in Living Form.

Blue Silver Grass transformed into Radiant Form could only regenerate after one shichen, and it would consume a large amount of Ye Lan's Soul Power.

Therefore, Ye Lan would not use it unless absolutely necessary. He had only used Blue Silver Grass in Radiant Form out of necessity.

This was his final move. After all, the more Blue Silver Grass in Radiant Form he used, the less Blue Silver Grass in Living Form he could use within the next shichen.

Moreover, Origin Light consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power. Ye Lan's Self-Created Soul Skills and Soul Power enhancements all required Soul Power.

Having calmed down, Ye Lan dragged his heavy steps toward the dead Ancient Beast's Touch.

Before long, Purple Light emerged from Ancient Beast's Touch, and a purple diamond-shaped Soul Ring floated above its corpse.

Ye Lan smiled in satisfaction and reached out to touch the purple Soul Ring.
