The backlash from the Mysterious Ritual being disrupted midway meant that the Tidal Heart could not use the same method again for a short time.
And so,
with each round of bombardment, the Tidal Heart grew weaker and weaker!
According to the Abyss Eye's readings, its overall energy level was steadily—and irreversibly—declining!
And the rate of decline was growing faster and faster!
Especially after...
More than an hour had passed.
And the Four Symbols Origin Crystal had recovered from its fivefold buffering state.
The trend became even more pronounced!
Double Strike, Critical Hit, and even Triple Strike effects were continuously triggered by different Star Destroyer Cannons.
And then there was the eleven percent Penetration Effect.
Every single one of them was testing the Tidal Heart's vitality!
Finally, as the Scarlet Halo continued to spread,
the unhealing wounds inflicted by the Sky Peng Horizontal on the Tidal Heart's body grew ever more severe!
Nearly ten hours passed.
A huge section had been hollowed out from the middle of the Tidal Heart's body!
Through the windows of the Sky Peng Horizontal's command room, the crew could easily see the void beyond the Tidal Heart from the other side!
It seemed the damage it had sustained had finally reached its critical point.
As the Four Symbols Origin Crystal once again triggered the Critical Hit Effect of Four Symbols of Yang, the final wave of pure azure light engulfed the Tidal Heart's body.
"Chirp!"
A wave of thought, a dirge marking the end, rang out into the distance.
The Tidal Heart, which had endured the Sky Peng Horizontal's relentless, full-firepower assault beyond its limits, finally burst apart in its entirety!
Then the scattered pieces of its body rapidly disintegrated, breaking into countless tiny particles.
At last, they dissolved completely into the surrounding Tidal Sea.
