Chapter 582

With a thunderous boom, deep craters kept appearing beneath Luo En's feet.

Those were the tentacles striking him.

Yet Luo En moved with great agility, leaping and twisting between the tentacles, swiftly weaving through their gaps.

Though perilous, he had finally reached his destination.

There, it looked like a massive black hole, continuously spewing forth countless tentacles.

And when these tentacles first emerged, they were quite slender.

But after leaving the black hole, they suddenly grew enormous.

Luo En knew this was where the tentacles originated.

A voice suddenly rang in Luo En's ear.

"Do you really think this is my weakness? Feel free to attack here—it's merely where I launch my assault."

As he spoke, countless more tentacles surged out, rushing toward Luo En like a tidal wave.

But Luo En remained calm, swiftly dodging the tentacles' attacks.

Then, seizing his chance, he drove the broken blade down with all his strength.

But it was a vast black hole.

Luo En had to plunge deep into the black hole to truly harm the curse.

Yet no one knew what lay inside—perhaps something even more dangerous awaited him.

But remembering that one must enter the tiger's den to capture its cubs, Luo En gritted his teeth and charged in.

No matter what awaited him, he had to face it.

With that thought, Luo En lunged toward the black hole.

The curse seemed startled; the tentacles grew fiercer.

And their attacks became increasingly frequent.

180. Rescue

Luo En darted rapidly through the tentacles, feeling increasingly strained.

Though these tentacles were slender before leaving the black hole, they were far more tenacious.

The moment they neared Luo En's body, they instantly bit into his skin and rapidly sucked his blood.

No matter how hard Luo En struggled, they clung tightly.

As a result, Luo En felt his blood draining rapidly.

Yet every strike he made failed to completely sever these tentacles.

These tentacles were too cunning.

Damn it, am I really going to die here? Luo En refused to accept it.

He swiftly spun the broken blade and slashed hard at the tentacle gripping him.

But the tentacle twisted nimbly aside, evading Luo En's attack.

Luo En did not lose heart; as his blade missed, he swiftly twisted his wrist.

Following through, he lifted the blade upward—and struck the tentacle, slicing it cleanly in two.

Luo En exhaled deeply; he had finally cut off the tentacle that had been draining his blood.

But this time, he had to proceed with extreme caution, no longer charging recklessly as before.

Instead, he continuously swung the broken blade to shield his entire body.

With this, the small tentacles could no longer reach him.

Luo En had been darting through the black hole for a long time, yet still saw no end.

What was going on? Was the black hole truly not its weakness, as the curse claimed?

Yet so far, Luo En had not heard the curse's voice again—it seemed the curse's voice could not reach here.

This puzzled Luo En.

If this black hole were still part of the curse's body, it should still be able to communicate with him.

But now, Luo En felt he had wandered within the black hole for a long while.

The other side had not uttered a single word.

Could it be that this place had surpassed the curse's body—that it was not even within the curse's physical form?

With this thought, Luo En decided to halt and carefully observe this place.

He swiftly reversed the broken blade and thrust it hard forward, aiming to anchor it to some nearby obstacle.

But he was astonished to find the surroundings utterly empty—there was nothing for him to stop against.

Suddenly, a fluffy mass shot toward Luo En at high speed.

Luo En took a deep breath and swung the broken blade rapidly, aiming to cut the thing in half.

But suddenly, the fluffy mass dispersed, transforming into countless slender tentacles.

Luo En was secretly startled—he had not expected these tentacles could coalesce into a single mass.

In that instant, nearly all the tentacles surged toward Luo En.

Though Luo En swung the broken blade rapidly, he could no longer fend off so many simultaneous attacks.

In an instant, several tentacles bit into his body.

"Damn it, what kind of monsters are these tentacles?"

Lin Xuan once again did as before—he swiftly slashed at the tentacles with the broken blade.

After the tentacles evaded nimbly, Luo En reversed the blade again and slashed from another angle.

This way, he barely managed to sever all the tentacles.

But in that instant, Luo En had already lost most of his blood.

He felt himself growing weaker and weaker.

His head spun dizzily, and he nearly fainted several times.

Luo En knew that if this continued, he would never reach his destination—he might be drained to death by these tentacles.

But now there was no way to stop, and no way to know where he was.

Before his eyes, there was only darkness and those tentacles.

Luo En gripped his broken blade, guessing this place must be some kind of dimensional space.

Otherwise, it could not be so boundless.

To escape here, he had to raise his energy to the space's critical threshold.

Only then could he break through this space.

But right now, Luo En had no sufficient energy inside him.

Just as Luo En was about to sink into despair,

Suddenly he saw a flash of light streak past his eyes.

After that flash, a figure suddenly appeared before Luo En.

Then another flash—before him, a crack split open.

Though it was pitch-black inside, Luo En seemed to see hope; without hesitation, he dove into the crack.

Thud—he fell to the ground.

He rolled several times before finally stopping.

He looked around—the surroundings were startlingly familiar; it seemed to be the path he had walked when he arrived.

What was going on? He spun around quickly—the man standing before him was Taiyirō.

Taiyirō held the long blade in his hand and exhaled deeply.

"I never thought I'd finally pinpointed the location."

Luo En said, surprised.

"What's going on? Did you save me?"

Taiyirō nodded and said,

"After I emerged, I kept searching for the curse's location.

But it seemed to have hidden itself away.

While searching, I sensed a trace of cursed energy drifting nearby.

Though it moved fast, I still managed to barely keep up with its speed."

Luo En said in astonishment.
