This Corrupted Soul Giant-Ring Octopus was several times larger than the previous one. Though the bronze rings on its body were likewise covered in cracks, it radiated an even more formidable pressure at the peak Spirit God Realm. Its dark green tentacles slapped the ground like giant pythons, stirring up clouds of dust.
Its eight cloudy compound eyes were bloodshot, fixed intently on Yun Che and Ye Qingshuang. Thick black mist kept pouring from its mouthparts, and wherever it passed, even the hard rocks began to sizzle, rapidly corroding into honeycomb-like cavities.
"Your little brother? Does your species really care that much about family?" Yun Che was somewhat dumbfounded, but with its tentacles already sweeping toward him, he could only start fighting.
Non-Sword transformed into Silver Chains once more, coiling like nimble snakes around several of its tentacles. Every link held the power of ashes that could annihilate all things.
The instant they touched the dark green tentacles, a sizzling sound rang out. The Seal Art on the chains forced back the black mist, exposing the gray-black, humus-like flesh beneath.
The Corrupted Soul Giant-Ring Octopus roared in pain and swung more tentacles down at him. The thickest lashed straight toward Yun Che's face with a vicious gust that tore through the air. As the suckers on it opened and closed, countless tiny fangs could faintly be seen inside.
Yun Che pushed off the slippery flagstones with his toes, shifting several feet sideways like a phantom. As he dodged the tentacle, he condensed a bolt of golden divine lightning in his left hand and flung it toward the base of the tentacle that had missed him.
With a sharp crackle, lightning exploded, splashing dark green fluid everywhere. The tentacle snapped off, but the wound kept writhing frantically, attempting to regenerate.
