Chapter 89: Eyes (2/2)

Wayfarer slowly calmed down and his eyes grew increasingly brighter as he chanted softly, casting a strange art.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The cavern trembled and shook. Something big was coming.

“What is that?” Lu Yun almost threw up when he saw what came walking—no, crawling out of the darkness.

It was more than two hundred forty meters in size and resembled an undead hag, but there was an additional head next to it that belonged to a corpsefish. A long fish tail trailed between its two legs. It looked like a chimera of an enormous undead hag and a corpsefish and reeked of a thick, pungent smell.

It was plain to see that the fish head and tail had forcefully been grafted onto the undead hag’s flesh. Lu Yun could even see rotten skin and white bones from where their body parts intersected.

Flanking it were countless undead hags and corpsefish that’d crawled ashore, and the entourage rushed them with reckless abandon. The enormous monster instantly tore through the trapping formations Feinie had set up.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Making sounds like a snake, it broke another formation with its claws, releasing the zombies trapped within.

Feinie backed away. “It’s more powerful than the undead hag we encountered before. It can rival at least a peerless immortal!”

If she’d recovered to the golden or august immortal realm, she would’ve been able to kill the monster with her formations. But as an empyrean immortal, there were four cultivation levels between them; it was an enormous gap that even the complete Formation Orb couldn’t bridge.

“Kill them!” screamed Wayfarer.

The monster abruptly picked up speed and scuttled to Lu Yun’s side. The tentacles on top of the corpsefish’s head somehow circumvented the defensive formations and grabbed at the governor.

“Waughhhhhh!!!” An enormous roar interrupted the attack. Nine crimson shadows rushed out from behind Lu Yun and lunged at the monster. Yueshen had charged out of the Gates of the Abyss with the bloodcorpses.

“Hurry and seal the altar with your formations, Feinie!” the immortal ghost blurted out.

No matter how terrifying the bloodcorpses were, they were merely arcane immortals. The chimera, on the other hand, was one step higher as a peerless immortal. It easily scattered the nine bloodcorpses with a casual backhand.

Under Yueshen’s control, they regathered their forms and leaped at the monster, opening their mouths so that ghostface maggots could burrow into the monster’s body and slow it down.

“Don’t worry!” Yueshen used the opening to explain, “The altar is here to seal the abyss. It won’t sacrifice all of Dusk Province!”

“Alright!” The last of her concerns dispelled, Feinie sent the light of activation flaring throughout the Formation Orb. The sealing formation she’d been preparing clamped down on the altar, temporarily deactivating it.

“Not so fast!” Eyes bloodshot, Wayfarer lifted his arms and punched the formation, breaking it before it could bring its full power to bear. But at that moment, the altar stirred to full wakefulness, its black light surging and restraining Wayfarer.

“Not again!” he yelled. “Which bastard sealed me in this forsaken place when I was asleep?!”
