Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

562. Nine Heads, Nine Laws!

With a squelching sound, the nine heads of the Hydra exploded simultaneously under Lin Fei's tremendous power.

However, the Hydra's body didn't fall. Instead, it manifested its true form. Its enormous serpent body tore through the void, swiftly coiling around Lin Fei's colossal divine form. The Hydra's nine heads, which had just burst, instantly regenerated.

"Ha ha ha, you're doomed! Die!"

A glint of madness flashed in the eyes of the Hydra. In the next moment, it exerted immense force with its serpentine body, a strength beyond imagination. One of its heads suddenly opened its mouth wide, unleashing a mysterious power that sprayed onto Lin Fei.

"Imprison!"

With a low growl from the Hydra, Lin Fei felt the real might of the creature. Each head of the Hydra possessed a unique Divine Ability, almost akin to a law in nature. The power it exhaled was similar to a law, capable of instantly restraining Lin Fei.

As expected, Lin Fei's body shook as if bound by an invisible force, leaving him at the mercy of the Hydra's tightening grip. The serpent's body began to constrict, gradually tightening around Lin Fei's divine form and eroding his particles.

"Particle Worlds!"

Lin Fei's eyes were cold, his tone remarkably calm. Yet, as he spoke, turmoil erupted within him.

"Boom!"

The 5,300 particle worlds within him exploded with power, a force unimaginably formidable, far exceeding the Hydra's expectations.

"Crack."

The void shattered once again. This time, the shattering also broke the "Imprisonment" imposed by the Hydra.

The head that had cast the "Imprisonment" spell became lifeless and nearly breathless. Evidently, the explosion of power from Lin Fei's particle worlds had broken the restraint, causing a backlash to the Hydra's head.

Simultaneously, Lin Fei's ferocious particle world power exploded.

"Boom."

The Hydra's serpentine body was instantly blown apart and annihilated, turning to ash. The power of Lin Fei's 5,300 particle worlds was not something to be taken lightly. Once the particle worlds were unleashed, any force, as long as it was physical, would be annihilated.

The Hydra's body was obliterated by Lin Fei's particle world power. However, its nine heads remained indestructible, seemingly protected by some special means.

As long as the nine heads weren't destroyed, the Hydra wouldn't suffer severe damage. The annihilated particles could be restored in an instant. This was the strength of a True Monarch-level exotic beast.

After a brief exchange, the Hydra realized that the True Monarch before it was no ordinary opponent, even incredibly powerful, likely a top-tier Martial True Monarch.

But in the Divine Realm, top-tier Martial True Monarchs were renowned figures. No one would be unknown. Yet, the ancient Hydra couldn't recall any top-tier Martial True Monarch in its memory resembling the one before it.

"Who are you?"

The Hydra didn't attack again. Instead, it retreated a distance, looking cautious, and asked in a deep voice. Lin Fei, standing with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, "Ancient Covenant, Lin Fei."

"Ancient Covenant Lin Fei? The one who withstood nine heavenly thunders, unprecedented, with the potential to become a Martial Ancestor?"

The Hydra was shocked, finally realizing Lin Fei's identity. The Ancient Covenant's top talent was not just a top talent, but a top powerhouse! At least for the moment, the Hydra couldn't do anything to Lin Fei.

For a moment, the Hydra felt annoyed. A top-tier Martial True Monarch and a member of the Ancient Covenant actually going to battle for a mere Taotie?

This seemed utterly bizarre.

"True Monarch Lin, are you really going to battle me just for Taotie?" the Hydra asked in a dark tone.

"Taotie?" Lin Fei replied, "My act was merely incidental in saving Taotie. My true objective is a True Monarch-level world. Hydra, I heard you've swallowed a fragment of a True Monarch-level world. Where is that world located? If you can show me, I will leave."

Lin Fei was direct. His goal was a True Monarch-level world.

Hearing Lin Fei's words, the Hydra's expression changed drastically. "A True Monarch-level world? That world has already shattered completely. How else could I have swallowed a fragment of it?"

"Completely shattered? I'd still like to see it," Lin Fei insisted.

The Hydra's eyes flashed with anger, but it said nothing more, just staring intently at Lin Fei. It understood that Lin Fei, set on finding a True Monarch-level world, wouldn't easily give up. And how did this information leak?

Suddenly, the Hydra turned its gaze sharply towards Taotie. Taotie, gritting its teeth, said, "Lord, you were going to devour me. Is it wrong for me to seek help?"

Clearly, Taotie's response was an admission that it had leaked the information. Taotie's ability to sense anything it consumed played a role here.

While others might not sense the swallowed fragment of the True Monarch-level world, Taotie could. Luckily it did, or else its distress message would have gone unnoticed by Lin Fei, and it wouldn't have been rescued.

"Lin Fei, do you really think you have me defeated? When I roamed the Divine Realm, you were probably still unknown. Hmph, let me show you my true power!"

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Hydra. As one of the top True Monarch-level exotic beasts in the All Beasts Alliance, it was not to be underestimated.

Lin Fei had never taken the Hydra lightly, evident from the immense power of the 5,300 particle worlds he had just unleashed. If it were an ordinary True Monarch, who could withstand the onslaught of Lin Fei's 5,300 particle world forces? They would have likely been obliterated.

Yet, the Hydra withstood the attack. Although it was in a dire state, with only its nine heads remaining, it indeed had survived. Lin Fei's attack, powered only by his 5,300 particle worlds, was not enough to overcome the Hydra. This alone was a testament to the Hydra's strength.

The might of the Hydra had always been centered on its nine heads, each possessing a unique Divine Ability. Previously, only one head had deployed its Divine Ability.

"Swish, swish, swish."

As the Hydra spoke, one head after another appeared behind it. Simultaneously, nine pairs of eyes coldly fixed on Lin Fei. A chilling murderous intent permeated the void. It was gearing up for a real fight.

For a True Monarch, physical destruction or being blown apart wasn't the end. Annihilated particles could be instantly restored. However, when resorting to their most powerful methods, it undoubtedly meant a fight to the death.

Now, the Hydra was ready for a desperate fight, prepared to utilize the Divine Abilities of all its nine heads. These nine heads were the reason the Hydra could reign supreme in the Divine Realm, making it one of the most formidable True Monarch-level exotic beasts in the Myriad Beasts Alliance!

Lin Fei was now faced with the challenge of these nine heads.

"Frost!"

One of the Hydra's heads emitted a blast of cold air. But this wasn't just cold air; it was the Law of Ice!

"Storm!"

Another head released a swirl of wind, embodying the Law of Wind.

Each head, upon opening its mouth, unleashed a Law. Nine heads meant nine Laws! And while most Martial True Monarchs comprehend only one Law, the Hydra's advantage lay in its ability to wield nine. This advantage made it one of the top-tier True Monarchs, even defeating many top-tier Martial True Monarchs.

Even Lin Fei found it challenging to contend with the Hydra as one head after another released a different Law. His physical body was undergoing its most severe test, facing a force more terrifying than the nine heavenly thunders of the eighth thunder tribulation.

The slightest misstep could spell danger for Lin Fei. This was the first time since becoming a True Monarch that Lin Fei faced such peril in a battle against another True Monarch.

"Such formidable power, Hydra!"

Lin Fei's body was entangled, eroded, and frozen by these Laws. It seemed as if he could no longer break free. With each Law, his physical body continued to erode: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%...

In a blink, more than 60% of Lin Fei's body had been eroded, and the erosion continued. The situation appeared to be extremely dire.
