Chen Mo defeated five tyrant-grade source beasts, earning experience points and Cosmic Source Crystals to advance to Level 8. Noting the increasing difficulty of further leveling, he and Sun Wu proceeded to Sea King City, a vast underwater metropolis constructed by the King-grade source beast. Cautious of potential defenses, Chen Mo summoned his outer incarnation Zhui Yi to scout the central palace.

"Yes."

As an external avatar, Zhui Yi matched Chen Mo's battle strength perfectly. With the Emperor Bell suspended above, he triggered the Shrinking Ruler for a spatial jump, materializing right before the Sea King Palace.

So far, the vicinity stayed utterly peaceful, without a single ripple disturbed.

The deeper the stillness, the stranger it seemed to Chen Mo, resembling the eerie quiet before a raging storm.

True enough, as Zhui Yi drew nearer to the grand entrance of the Sea King's central hall, a strange Array abruptly activated across Sea King City.

Once the Array kicked in, Chen Mo sharply sensed Zhui Yi's stats crashing down wildly, slashed directly in half.

At this time, Zhui Yi's attributes:

'Origin Life Force': 19,000 points

'Origin Cosmic Power': 850 points

'Attack Amplification': 825 points

'Defense Amplification': 1225 points

'Origin Cosmic Energy': 81,000 points

Origin Life Force and Origin Cosmic Energy held steady, yet the essential Origin Cosmic Power, Attack Amplification, and Defense Amplification each tumbled by fifty percent.

These core aspects of fighting prowess, hit with such a abrupt halving, delivered a massive blow to overall combat effectiveness.

"Sure enough, there's a trap!"

Spotting Zhui Yi ensnared, Sun Wu—who lingered beyond the Array's reach—promptly gripped his staff and moved to Chen Mo's side, braced for combat.

In the meantime, the uppermost level of the Sea King Palace split open, unleashing a towering blue-skinned beast about five meters high, armored in rigid scales and wielding eight limbs, which drifted out gradually.

The beast's azure scales clung tightly to its bulging muscles, forming a gleaming, impenetrable suit of armor.

Its immense five-meter frame, paired with rippling muscles everywhere, radiated savage ferocity.

The creature's facial features looked grotesque, its gem-like eyes blazing with icy blue fire, projecting boundless resolve and menace.

All eight powerful arms extended sideways, each sheathed in tough scales and grasping weapons of varied designs.

A formidable, crushing presence emanated from the beast, causing the nearby seawater to solidify as if frozen.

As it soared from the Sea King Palace, it trailed glowing blue light, akin to a comet streaking through the dark ocean depths.

This radiated the might of a King-grade Source Beast.

The instant it emerged, Chen Mo scanned its stats without delay.

[Monster Name]: The King of Emperor's Abyss

[Monster Rank]: First-tier Source Beast

[Monster Grade]: King-grade

'Majesty of the Ocean King': King of the Emperor's Abyss, under the protection of the deep-sea God, increases all attribute values by 10% and enhances the effectiveness of eight-arm skills.

[Active skills]:

'Rage of the Tides': Wields eight robust arms to unleash the Rage of the Tides, dealing damage to enemies within range and applying a slow effect for 10 seconds.

'Abyssal Domain': Summons the power of the Abyss to form a domain, enhancing its solid armor and reducing damage taken for 20 seconds.

'Wrath of the Sea God': Releases mysterious energy, filling the King of Emperor's Abyss eight arms with the Wrath of the Sea God, significantly boosting attack intensity for 15 seconds.

'Deep-Sea Engulf': Initiates Deep-Sea Engulf to devour a target, recovering Origin Life Force and reducing the target's Defense Amplification for 12 seconds.

[Passive skills]:

'Deep-Sea Guardianship': The King of Emperor's Abyss gains additional shield effects within the deep-sea domain, reducing damage taken.

'Eightfold Quake': Each successful attack has a chance to trigger a quake effect, causing the target to fall into a stunned state.

'Tide's Healing': Within the deep-sea domain, the King of Emperor's Abyss regenerates Origin Life Force per second.

'Mysterious Resonance': There is a chance to trigger a Mysterious Resonance when the King of Emperor's Abyss casts a skill, reducing the cooldown time of the next skill.

'Tidal Gem': Amplifies Tide's Healing effect, boosting life regeneration per second.

'Mystical Orbs': Elevates the trigger probability of Mysterious Resonance, reducing skill cooldowns.

'Staff of the Deep Sea': Speeds up the buildup of Power of Eight Oceans, accelerating skill enhancements.

The attributes of a King-grade Source Beast stand out as extraordinarily formidable.

Regular attributes don't warrant much discussion; they remain fairly consistent across most Source Beasts.

For a King-grade Source Beast like the King of Emperor's Abyss, its stats closely mirror those of other King-grade peers.

Every one boasts attribute growth values reaching 100 points.

Yet the King of Emperor's Abyss possesses extra advantages through its skills and weapon effects.

It commands five Active skills, five Passive skills, plus eight weapons.

Furthermore, these Active skills, Passive skills, and weapons synergize powerfully together.

Such combinations grant the King of Emperor's Abyss an enormous surge in battle prowess.

Paired with the Array in Sea King City that cuts enemy attributes in half, the King of Emperor's Abyss becomes almost unbeatable inside Sea King City.

Even a powerhouse like Chen Mo, whose stats vastly outstrip his own, would face tough odds venturing into Sea King City.

Overpowering him demands more than raw strength.

The key lies in first shattering the Array he's deployed.

Chen Mo promptly queried Sun Wu, "Monkey King, with the might of this guy's Array, can we sneakily dismantle it? If this Array hampers us, staying holed up in it would make him a real headache to handle."

"Breaking an Array usually requires an Array-Breaking Stone, yet my master imparted Array-Breaking Techniques to me. Distract him to keep his attention off me, and I'll dismantle his Array."

"How much time will it take?"

"Roughly three minutes."

"No issue there. Even halved, my Defense Amplification hits 1225 points. He won't drop me easily, nor I him. I'll hold him off with my outer incarnation while you shatter the Array."

Chen Mo soared straight upward after speaking.

His assurance came not just from superior attributes but also his elite first-tier cosmic secret treasure.

Chen Mo had long dominated foes using the Emperor Bell's Heaven Shaking power.

Actually, its defensive strengths were equally crucial.

Especially as time passed, folks fixated on the Heaven Shaking might of the Emperor Bell, overlooking its full suite of six abilities—only Heaven Shaking offensively, the rest purely defensive and aiding.

[God Suppressing]: Shields the mind, blocking all abnormal effects with first-tier cosmic secret treasure level immunity.

[Shocking Soul]: Stuns opponents, bypassing all sub-first-tier cosmic secret treasure defenses.

[Life Safeguarding]: The divine clock's shield grants 5 seconds of Invincible State, fully restoring Origin Life Force at its end.

[Space Rending]: Shatters nearby space-time, canceling enemy spatial powers, and enables unhindered spatial movement under the clock's shroud at first-tier cosmic secret treasure level.

[Timeless]: Resists all time stop or slowdown effects at first-tier cosmic secret treasure capacity.

Of these, Space Rending and Timeless hold little use here now, yet the initial trio proves immensely potent.
