Chapter 229: Chapter 198 The Erosion of the Power of Laws
"Heavy Tentacle Lash!"
The tentacles, with their formidable resilience, were like ten-thousand-ton whips, and a series of deafening booms followed in the air.
Facing this overwhelming onslaught, Taotie dared not be careless.
It quickly deployed its defensive skill, Light Water Armor.
A thin layer of water instantly covered its body, looking like a clear, crystalline armor.
The massive tentacles struck down with the force of thunder, hitting the seemingly fragile layer of water first.
However, the water was brutally torn open by the heavy strike, enabling the tentacles to land directly on the tough scales of Taotie.
At this moment, the sharp barbs on Taotie\'s scales came into play; they were like sharp knives, effortlessly cutting through the skin of the tentacles, exposing the tender white flesh within.
But the immense power carried by the tentacles bore down on Taotie\'s back.
A grating sound, painful to the teeth, emitted from Taotie\'s scales.
In the impacted area, fine cracks formed swiftly and spread outward.
This powerful blow caused Taotie\'s massive body to involuntarily retreat hundreds of meters in the sea.
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Xing\'s eyes.
The opponent\'s weight was only a fifth of Taotie\'s, yet its strength was nearly the same.

This could only mean one thing: the opponent\'s physical strength surpassed Taotie\'s.
Even a Water Mansion Tyrant Crocodile, whose bloodline was at its limit, had weaker physical strength under the same weight class as their adversary.
The opponent\'s species had superior bloodline strength.
This was the first time since Taotie had grown significantly larger that it encountered this situation at the same energy level.
However, Taotie also had its advantages.
If they could not gain the upper hand in a contest of strength, then they would change the battle strategy.
The essence of combat has always been to use one\'s strengths to attack the enemy\'s weaknesses.
On the broad back of the Northern Sea Leviathan, Wayne witnessed Taotie being forced back.
An involuntary sardonic smile crept onto his face as he spoke with a hint of mockery, "Heh heh heh... It seems that your Beast Taming physical strength is nothing special."
Wayne didn\'t give Taotie any chance to catch its breath; he immediately commanded the Northern Sea Leviathan to continue its assault, "Northern Sea Leviathan, keep using Heavy Tentacle Lash!"
Upon hearing its master\'s command, the Northern Sea Leviathan once again raised its enormous tentacles.
The wounds that Taotie\'s sharp barbs had inflicted on them were now healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The Leviathan\'s tentacles quickly appeared unscathed, as if the scars from moments before had been nothing but an illusion.
Chen Xing issued an order, "Taotie, Deep Sea Assault!"
As the command was given, Taotie\'s form became blurry, as if merging with the surrounding currents.
Then, Taotie transformed into a towering wave, surging mightily towards the Northern Sea Leviathan.
The Leviathan swung its massive tentacles trying to block the onrush of this torrent.
However, the wave turned into by Taotie dodged the countless tentacles, breached the Leviathan\'s tentacle defenses, and aimed straight for its vital points.
Facing Taotie\'s close-combat approach, Wayne\'s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
He had reviewed Chen Xing\'s Beast Taming combat style before the match.
He was aware of that powerful biting ability.
But what of it? His Northern Sea Leviathan\'s healing ability didn\'t fear close combat at all! He had several skills that needed to be deployed at close range.
The Deep Sea Assault\'s tsunami crashed into the chest of the Leviathan, water splashing high, as Taotie\'s form gradually solidified.
Chen Xing, situated on Taotie\'s back, looked up and locked eyes with Wayne, who was in close proximity.
He had seen all of Wayne\'s Northern Sea Leviathan\'s skills clearly just moments ago.
Indeed, whether it was the Ensnare or Bind or Magical Tooth Absorption, all were close-combat skills with a shorter range than Heavy Tentacle Lash,
But what of it... If that weren\'t the case, why would he have let Taotie close the distance?
Taotie opened its massive mouth, aiming a vicious bite at the closely looming Northern Sea Leviathan!
"Vortex of Demise!"
A massive maw split open nearly ninety degrees, as if to devour the entire space, and violently bit toward the head of the North Sea leviathan.
Its reaction was extremely swift; two tentacles instantly crossed in front of itself, blocking Taotie\'s fatal strike.
At the same time, the remaining tentacles crazily extended toward Taotie, as if to bind it tightly.
"Ensnare!" The North Sea leviathan unleashed its skill.
Those thick tentacles, like huge pythons, tightly coiled around Taotie\'s body.
The sheer strength of the tentacles was so great that even Taotie\'s hard scales made a grating noise, as if they were about to be torn apart.
The annihilation force of Taotie\'s Vortex of Demise was activated at this moment; its mouth erupted with endless annihilation energy, instantly turning the North Sea leviathan\'s two tentacles into a mist of blood, which it mercilessly swallowed.
As Taotie bit off the leviathan\'s two tentacles, blood gushed from the cleanly severed wounds.
Taotie took this opportunity to struggle forward and free part of its body from the grip of the tentacles, launching another fierce attack.
It bit toward the leviathan\'s head with incredible biting force, tearing through its defense, brutally ripping off large chunks of flesh from its face.
In excruciating pain, the North Sea leviathan let out an earth-shattering roar, and suddenly spewed out a large cloud of black ink.
This was no ordinary ink, but its skill—"Shadow Ink!"
The black ink spread rapidly in the air, creating a dense dark area that enveloped Taotie and everything around it.
"Vision Deprivation!" With the release of the shadow ink, the North Sea leviathan triggered another skill.
Taotie\'s eyes were shrouded in darkness, unable to discern anything around it.
The leviathan took the opportunity to counterattack, using its remaining tentacles to bind Taotie tightly once again.
Chen Xing on Taotie\'s back was also encompassed by the attack, with all of it being transferred onto Taotie.
Furious, Taotie, like a crazed beast, violently bit into the North Sea leviathan, but the leviathan\'s regenerative ability was terrifyingly powerful.
New tentacles quickly grew back at the severed points.
More and more tentacles ensnared Taotie\'s limbs, pinning its body in place and preventing it from moving forward.
As time passed, the leviathan\'s binding posture became increasingly lethal, reducing Taotie\'s leverage points more and more.
If its mouth couldn\'t bite the body, the Vortex of Demise could not be triggered.
The leviathan\'s eyes glowed with a faint red light.
"Death Confinement."
A red phantom cage appeared around Taotie.
As long as the target was within the confines of the cage, it would suffer the erosion of dark energy each second, and with the passage of time, the eroding force of the dark energy would grow stronger and stronger.
It would not stop until the target was killed by the power of darkness!
"The battle is over," Wayne said with a confident smile on his face.
A mere beast that only knows brute force.
But what no one noticed was that the strength in the leviathan\'s tentacles was diminishing... Its already pale skin was turning even paler.
The surrounding sea water had somehow been entirely stained grey.
From the moment he entered the fray, Chen Xing had instructed Taotie to unleash a flood in the vast ocean.
He aimed the area of release right below them at the sea!
To the boundless ocean, the amount of water from the flood was negligible.
At most, it could only temporarily cause a rise in the water level of the nearby regions.
Yet it was this boundless sea that became Taotie\'s best cover.
The flood created by the deluge had a special law effect, similar to oil that doesn\'t mix with water.
The deluge fell into the sea, yet set itself apart from the surrounding water, forming a barrier.
The continuously released deluge eventually eroded the nearby sea area completely, forming a unique "domain" for Taotie.
The North Sea leviathan, once it entered this area of the flood, had already fallen under the dominion of the flood skill from the moment it entered.
Over time, this would result in the negative effect of "drowning".
Even as a marine creature, it would still suffer the adverse states of asphyxiation, hypoxia, hypothermia, and drowning!
Of course, these states would not occur immediately but would progressively deepen with the passing of time.
