192 Snake Gall Treasure Pearls (1/2)

The black silhouette was like a tiny mountain pushing the waters aside as the eight appendages moved wildly. Blood trailed behind it, dyeing the sea water red.

A gigantic silver flying shuttle was following it from behind. The ray cannon continued firing energy beams, causing the nearby sea water to boil. All other objects in the surroundings that obstructed its path were vaporized.

11,000 meters, 12,000 meters, 13,000 meters...

One was fleeing while the other was in hot pursuit. The Yamata no Orochi and the flying shuttle continued diving into the depths of the Mariana Trench.

The gathered light beams shot out like a sword cleaving through the darkness, slicing off the thick appendages of the Yamata no Orochi.

Earlier, this Yamata no Orochi acted like the supreme world-destroying beast from the legends and was extremely imposing and ferocious. But now, it acted like a defeated dog, frenziedly fleeing away, wanting nothing more than to grow a few more appendages to increase its speed. It was also roaring in agony and pain, the sound waves traveling through the water clearly.

So what even if it was a terrifying monster? Before the pinnacle of science and technology, it was nothing but trash.

External means referred to science and technology, and internal means referred to cultivation. These two were the most common means used by interstellar humans. There was no relative superiority, but they were both means of different paths.

Before a cultivator truly matured, he or she would still be unable to resist the power of science and technology and would be dominated.

After all, there was no upper limit to the degree of power capable of being generated by science. With sufficient reserves of energy as well as materials, it wasn't impossible for a weapon created by science and technology to destroy a planet.

Currently, among one of the most terrifying weapons humanity possessed, the Planetary Annihilation Cannon was capable of destroying a small planet with a single shot. The might it possessed was terrifying to the extreme.

Unless a cultivator reached the level equal to gods and possessed an undying body, he would be nothing but trash before such a terrifying weapon born from science and technology.

Right now, he didn't care how fast the Yamata no Orochi was fleeing. Feng Lin controlled the shuttle and chased closely behind it, not willing to spare it.

This wasn't because of hatred. Feng Lin wouldn't be so obstinate as to nurse a grudge against a monster with no intelligence. The Yamata no Orochi could only blame itself for being an extremely rare existence.

There was surely a transcendent organ in it since it could be classified as a transcendent lifeform. No matter if it was alive or dead, this monster was akin to a treasure trove.

In the past, Feng Lin had already obtained a titan's heart. However, the grade of energy was too high, and he only had one titan's heart. He didn't want to do any experiments on it for fear of damaging such a precious item.

15,000 meters, 16,000 meters, 17,000 meters…

He continued pursuing and soon arrived at the 20,000 meter depth.

The water was as dark as ink. No light could penetrate through to this depth. The flying shuttle had to use special wave-positioning technology to determine and locked-on to the Yamata no Orochi.

At this moment, that monster was in an incomparably pathetic shape. The appendages it had were severed off once again, leaving only a single head.

After chasing it for so long, Feng Lin also saw many clues.

This monster was definitely an artificial genetic creature created by humans based on the legendary Yamata no Orochi's template. If it was truly the world-destroying beast, it wouldn't be so weak.

In Japanese Mythology, the Yamata no Orochi was an undying existence. Only by using special methods would one be able to kill it.

In truth, the stories stated that the divine being Susanoo had used the Sword of Totsuka to kill it.

Upon seeing that the monster only appeared strong externally, Feng Lin no longer had thoughts of playing with it. He commanded in a low voice, ”Zixia, use full power and kill it.”

”Yes, captain!” replied the A.I. Zixia. Many different panels on the surface of the flying shuttle opened up, revealing numerous ray cannons. All of them gathered power in an instant and blasted out a gigantic energy wave. This attack was like a solar storm, instantly causing the nearby waters to evaporate, becoming boiling steam.
