Unfathomable Senior

Chapter 264

The monster had a vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers that some would call tentacles. Its body was covered in scales while also having a rubbery looking body texture to it. It had a somewhat humanoid shape, two legs with two arms, its hand and feet had prodigious claws. Behind it was a set of long webbed narrow wings that looked more like a decoration than a functional appendage meant for flight.

Quasi-thulhu [ Nascent Soul Great Circle ]

Zhang Dong looked at this creature, it looked almost exactly like the other two creatures he had faced. The biggest difference was its size, it was well over a 100 meters. It had probably burst from that egg sack that they fired upon. It was very surprising that it had survived, its regenerative abilities were probably further enhanced than before. Then he had to take its cultivation realm into account, with a nascent soul this creature would even live if its physical body perished.

‘This isn’t going to be easy…’

Zhang Dong bit his bottom lip while the monster started at him. There were some superficial wounds from the attack that it took but they were quickly healing in real-time. Before he could think up another strategy a certain overzealous friend of his shouted out from the side.

“So this is this beast? I’ll take care of it!”

Huo Qiang slammed his fists together while they glowed in a crimson hue. Various runic patterns appeared on the armor gauntlets that he was wearing. His soul beast howled out along with its master as both of them charged towards the massive monster.

“That idiot…”

Zhang Dong wasn’t fast enough to stop his battle happy ally and had to watch as he charged forward. He could only follow him after also powering up. His body gave out a golden sheen before he burst towards the dark green being, Zhang Liena close behind him with her Storm Phoenix soul-beast with her.

The pair of husband and wife looked at each other while nodding. Instead of following behind their overzealous red-haired friend, they decided to flank the monster from the sides. Dong moved to the right side while Liena took the left one. The plan was to do a pincer attack while the beast was contenting with Huo Qiang.

This Quasi-thulhu didn’t seem that perturbed by the previous attack that it received. It wasn’t moving at all, its face tentacles squiggled around while its yellow eyes scanned the surroundings. The three nascent soul cultivators that were flying towards it looked like small flies, their soul beasts were slightly larger but they didn’t look like they would stand a chance against this massive creature.

Size wasn’t everything in this world though, a larger frame brought more power with it but it also reduced mobility. It would probably be easy to hit this monster but would it be enough to bring it down to its knees? Huo Qiang was now charging up an attack to test his mettle.

Huo Qiang moved his fist back while flying forward on a collision course with the Quasi-thulhu’s massive squid face. His body was surrounded by red plasma energy, most of it was flowing right into that huge fist of his. the Plasma Ifrit was right behind his master, his body was mirroring this punching motion as both of them flew forward.

Qiang’s spiritual energy exploded causing widespread destruction. Storm-like winds were caused by the eruption of speed and power. Anyone that was witnessing this attack gulped hard while stopping in their tracks to stare.

The powered-up fist was finally thrown forward, the Ifrit that looked like it was standing behind its master was somehow absorbed into this fiery attack. Its whole body was sucked into a chaotic mass of spiritual energy that collided with the unmoving monster’s face.

A massive discharge of fire-based energies occurred. The flying ships that were in the distance started rocking back and forth as even they were affected by the eruption of plasma.

This wasn’t the end of it as Zhang Dong and Liena closed in from the sides as well. Both of them were ready to produce their own version of this attack.

Liena motioned towards the monster’s side with her emerald fan. The bird made of lightning and wind energies gave out a screech before turning into a mass of spiritual energy. It descended on its target in the form of a giant thunder filled twister. The tornado slammed into the monster’s side while spinning around and burrowing itself deeply into its flesh, trying to tear it to bits.

Zhang Dong was the last one to produce an attack. He held two of his fingers toward the enemy while holding his hand in a sort of gun shape. It didn’t take much time for his fingers to glow in a bright golden color. A bolt of golden energy shot out, arcs of electricity were surrounding it as it traveled at a speed that couldn’t be followed by a regular person’s eyes.

A thunderous noise filled the whole area as three of those nascent soul level attacks collided with the monster. Each of them hit one after another before causing a massive explosion of spiritual energy.

Zhang Dong and Feng Liena moved back a bit while floating in the air. The discharge of their attacks caused another cloud of smoke to form. Even with their enhanced senses, it was hard to tell what was happening inside. They needed to wait for the chaotic energies to disperse before knowing if the monster was affected by their attacks.

They were sure of one thing though, the beast didn’t doge at all and took the brunt force of their attacks. Those attacks were at a level of a late stage nascent soul cultivator. Someone like Zhan Jie that Zhang Dong faced previously would be dead three times over if he was hit by all three of those attacks. It took more time for the smoke to clear up. Huo Qiang floated back as well while grimacing. He had his hands crossed over one another with his chest puffed out. On his face a slight frown of annoyance.

“Senior brother, why did you interfere? Now the monster is dead!”

Zhang Dong’s brows quivered as he heard his junior brother boasting around. He didn’t know this creature too well so he wasn’t understanding the gravity of the situation. When the smoke was slowly clearing away the truth was revealed.

Quasi-thulhu was just standing there but it was missing part of its head. Part of it had been blown off right through. One of its yellow eyes was missing while black blood oozed out from the wound. Huo Qiang could see right through this hole to the other side, the hit looked like it punched right through the creature’s brain.

On the sides where Zhang Dong and Liena attacked there were visible holes as well. The creature was missing its massive arms that had fallen down to the ground. For all intents and purposes, the squid monster looked to be defeated. It wasn’t moving much and the only thing coming out of it was black blood.

Before everyone could rejoice, the mass of flesh that was all around this area started getting feisty. It was fighting against the two flying ships with all its might but its huge size proved to be a weakness. It just couldn’t land a clean hit on any of those floating vessels now after the moment of surprise was gone.

While the three grand elders were looking at the unmoving monster the mountain of flesh started retreating towards them. Zhang Dong was the first one to spot this anomaly which caused him to back away while alerting his wife.

“Something is wrong, get back!”

Huo Qiang was the only one unconvinced, to him the battle was already won so he just looked around while floating. Liena listened to the advice of Zhang Dong and backed away while protecting herself with a shield made of green spiritual energy.

The surrounding area that was mostly composed of the fused being of flesh started getting sucked up. This caused the destroyed ground to be visible as the being made up of flesh started to get smaller. While this was happening the squid-faced monster started moving around.

The giant gaping hole that was made through its brain started mending itself. Tiny tendrils started squiggling around and transforming themselves into new flesh while connecting broken ones.

The destroyed arms turned into fleshy tentacles as well while moving themselves back into place. The whole process didn’t take that long and Zhang Dong along with his companions could only watch with surprise as the huge monster mended itself back. It only took about fifteen seconds for the beast to be back at full health. There were no visible outside wounds to the monster and it also didn’t seem to have used up much spiritual energy to perform this task.

This wasn’t quite the end of the spectacle happening here. The previously formless mass of flesh, mouths, and tentacles started transforming. Two large spires of meat appeared right next to where Quasi-thulhu was standing. They started taking form, with time the two transformed into grotesque monsters of their own with now a visible cultivation level that put them at the nascent soul late stage level of power.

Their forms weren’t much better than their friend’s. The two were smaller than Quasi-cthulhu but not by much. One was a giant floating eye with many appendages coming out of its bulbous body. Some of them looked like ordinary tentacles, some like human or ape-like arms. Some looked like insectoid appendages with sickle blades like a mantis would have.

The second one had a taur-like look to it. The lower half of its body looked like it belonged to some kind of four-legged beast with large talons on its feet. The top part was a bit more humanoid with a torso and four arms. Its head was mostly just teeth and a giant mouth with no eyes. Its eyes were placed on the shoulder part of the more humanoid section of its body.

Zhang Dong tried identifying these monsters with his system window but what he was getting was corrupt letters and numbers.

He could at least see their power levels but he could feel that the two monsters were at the very top of that ranking. If he compared them to the Dark Palm Sect Patriarch that he fought they would come up on top without much of a problem.

Quasi-thulhu gave out a massive angry shout that caused the sound waves to push everyone back even the nascent soul fighters weren’t safe from it. Everyone protected themselves with their own skills while backing away. Even Huo Qiang’s haughty attitude had changed after seeing the other two monsters appear.

“Gather up everyone, This isn’t a fight we can continue without a strategy!”

Zhang Dong sent a message to the ship’s captain to aim for the floating eyeball of a monster. They would need to split their fighters between these huge demonic beings. The plan of surrounding the boss of the two had failed. Now they had to contend with other enemies that were almost as strong as the main one.

“Let me aid you!”

Fang Heng finally showed up while the ship with his sect members retreated behind the Argonaut.

“Glad to have you on board…”

Zhang Dong frowned a bit while looking at the large monster in front of him. His body started radiating energy while expanding in size.
