The moment he saw the phantom of the Abyss Lord, his mind had already run through every possibility, rationally determining the most suitable choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he now faced an insurmountable enemy, he had far more aces up his sleeve than during his first exploration of the Sea of Boiling. He also knew much more about his enemy’s intelligence and skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Tortoise Shield could still be used four more times, providing 12 seconds of invincibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve seconds was enough time to do a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lamp he took out was the \"Star Lamp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single, faint spark can start a wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood of the Nameless Cocoon served as its fuel, and the terrifying Spiritual Power accumulated over ten thousand lifetimes was brewing for a violent eruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Hall-level Sea Beast, the Abyss Lord, had transcendent combat power, but it wasn’t an insurmountable mountain. The 17th-ranked Black Tortoise Shield could affect the Abyss Lord, and Ragnarok could inflict a corruption effect on the Great Black Heaven Dragon. There was no reason the 3rd-ranked \"Eternal Life Law\" would have absolutely no effect on this Holy Hall-level Sea Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even a moment of control will do.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burn, star! Activate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame surged violently, and then it was as if a starry curtain and the night sky had descended at once. In the deep sea, the lamp in Shi Ming’s hand became the only star in the darkness. More and more stars lit up, connecting point by point in the gloom, outlining the eighteen-meter-long shadow of an insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect shadow was layered countless times, one on top of the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each layer was one lifetime of the Nameless Cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming’s Spiritual Power merged and resonated with that of the Nameless Cocoon. A clear insectoid chirp and the sound of vibrating wings echoed through the deep sea. The sharp Spiritual Power coalesced into a strange rhythm, like a spindle that could pierce through anything, and shot howling toward the Abyss Lord’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mortal body could also face a Holy Hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eternal Life Law!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consume all Spiritual Power to forcibly banish the consciousness of any creature with lower Spiritual Power into a cycle of eternal life and eternal damnation, forcing them to experience the ten-thousand-lifetime reincarnation of the Nameless Insect and infusing them with its sealed memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of the Star Lamp bloomed to its absolute brightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an instant, the Abyss Lord was completely stunned. Its corrupting power was a split second from erupting but was forcibly suppressed. Its foul tentacles stopped waving and drooped lifelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the endless evil power and corruption continued to emanate from it. Even while trapped in the cycle of eternal life and damnation, the passive power the Abyss Lord radiated could still forcibly corrupt an ordinary S-rank creature!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming put away Sun-Shooter and activated the Nine-Headed Dragon Pattern of the Great Black Heaven Dragon on his chest. Using the power of destruction’s origin to resist the Abyss Lord’s corruption, he wielded the utterly frigid \"Great Cold.\" With the Arm of Power, he activated \"Third Law,\" triggered the Black Tortoise Shield for a second time, and shot up fiercely through the deep sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zero-entropy weapon struck the Abyss Lord right in its eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A horrific wound appeared, and a massive amount of viscous fluid burst out. The all-corroding juices scattered, forming writhing, tangible malice. But immediately after, tiny tentacles sprouted densely from the dozens-of-meters-long, ice-crystal-coated wound. Like sewing needles, the tentacles continuously stitched the gash closed, restoring it to its original state in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained on its eye was a disgusting scar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss Lord faintly recoiled in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already showing signs of breaking free from the Eternal Life Law’s control. Its Spiritual Power was inferior to the Nameless Cocoon’s, but it was still an ancient monster that had lived for many years. It was impossible for the Eternal Life Law to hold it for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Holy Hall-level Sea Beast was truly this terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming let out a low growl, his eyes turning cold. He raised Third Law, switched targets, and sliced at a dozen or so of the foul tentacles the Abyss Lord had extended to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the attack was effective. Empowered by ten times its normal force, Great Cold severed the dozen tentacles at their roots. Shi Ming then immediately used Third Law to freeze them solid and stow them away in his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With over a dozen of its limbs severed, the Abyss Lord awoke completely, consumed by infinite rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its more than ten thousand years of existence, it had never experienced such a moment. It had been toyed with time and again by a tiny insect, which had repeatedly blasphemed its power and, today, had even severed more than ten of its foul tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would make him pay the price in blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its three-hundred-meter-wide eye turned crimson, and every inlaid eye on its thousand-meter-long body opened to its absolute limit. The power of its corruption surged to a peak, the seawater began to boil, and it unleashed its signature skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely Evil Sanctuary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming had used this skill before, so he naturally knew its details. The powerful Holy Hall Level Skill had about a one-second wind-up time. Unhurried, he reapplied the Black Tortoise Shield, then took out a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combo, engage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Codex of All Nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gorinchis Scripture, Article 324 states!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All issued commands must be understood correctly and executed correctly! We permit failure, but we do not permit deception or opportunism!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage was long, but he was directly copying Article 323, so there was no need to read it all over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command took effect. Immediately after, he took out another lamp, the Lamp of Wishes. He quickly fumbled with its ancient body and, within its strange magnetic field, made his second wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, pure Star Spirit from the depths of the starry sky, my wish is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To return with the Da Yu to the vicinity of the King-level Wandering Ship, the Da Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Target is too far. Cannot be fulfilled. Please change your wish immediately, or the Wishing Lamp will be considered to have fulfilled its duty by default.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wish is to take the Da Yu to the farthest possible safe sea surface on the Endless Ocean that I have been to before, away from the Abyss Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your wish will be granted.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH—The light of the Lamp of Wishes flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming vanished from the Sea of Boiling. The Abyss Lord’s Extremely Evil Sanctuary finally descended. Countless terrifying, foul tentacles impaled the entire sea region from the seabed to the surface, filling every drop of water with chaos, corruption, and evil power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it hit nothing but empty water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious, the Abyss Lord let its Extremely Evil Sanctuary spread wantonly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea beasts of the Sea of Boiling once again faced a great purge. Their bodies exploded, their corruption and demise washing away the Abyss Lord’s anger. For a long time to come, this sea region would likely become the area with the lowest density of sea beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming had once again made a great contribution to the stability of the Sea of Boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five-hit combo against the Abyss Lord was a success:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, use the Black Tortoise Shield to become invincible. Then, use the Eternal Life Law to stun the Abyss Lord for a few seconds. During that short window, attempt to kill it with Third Law. After the assassination attempt failed, Shi Ming quickly switched plans and started farming it for materials, harvesting a large amount of its flesh before using the Lamp of Wishes to escape safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by doing this could he turn a crisis into an opportunity and not let the Abyss Lord’s personal appearance go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming stood on the deck of the Da Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lamp of Wishes had transferred him and the Da Yu to a place he had been before: the edge of the Sea of Yellow Sand. Sailing further north from here would lead into the Mediterranean Sea of the European Sea Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems the Lamp of Wishes has a maximum range of 2,000 nautical miles,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew members all looked completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had clearly just left the Sea of Boiling and entered the still-scorching Sea of Silence. How had they suddenly arrived at the edge of the Sea of Yellow Sand? Was this a dream?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the captain—when did he get back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ming reviewed the battle he had just fought on a knife’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even Third Law with ten times the power couldn’t kill the Abyss Lord.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be that killing it also requires a specific method, similar to the Great Black Heaven Dragon, where I have to use Extreme Cold Power to sever all nine of its heads at once?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, his strength had skyrocketed compared to his first clash with the Abyss Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the next time they met, the tables would be turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the Sea of Boiling, the Three-Eyed Golden Crow had never trembled as it did today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sensed that mysterious existence’s extreme rage and suspected it would be torn to shreds the very next moment. This reminded it of a small fragment of the distant future it had glimpsed through the [Great Prophecy Technique] after seeing that human last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Great Prophecy Technique had never been wrong. Thus, it could only choose to actively forget it, until today, when that feeling surfaced once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the black gold, the Nameless Cocoon was already mentally and physically exhausted from forcibly resisting the ever-intensifying suppression of the Sealed Prison. Suddenly, a chill ran through its body, the feeling of being targeted by something terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside its cocoon, it couldn’t help but twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s going on?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1707,"2026-06-03T14:04:12.017Z","2026-06-03T14:04:14.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","eaac337914ac1824b0d7f8322db125ebd5254dc416ba4cab9cadb8920e13a87e","endless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-chapter-286","endless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-chapter-284",286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-ocean-survival-begins-with-a-dugout-cano-cover.jpg"]
