Chapter 3931 Pressing Forward

The miserable death which Herbert had suffered was still lingering on everyone's mind. Trapped and unable to escape, Gerald was obviously about to end up the same.

Fuxi, the Snake Goddess and Judson were becoming anxious now.

"Come on! Let's destroy this light column!"

"How? It's not going to be so easy to destroy it."

"We have to try! I'm afraid that Gerald won't be able to hold on for any more than thirty seconds."

Although they knew that the light column was almost completely invulnerable, they still had to try. Therefore, they launched their attacks in unison, trying to destroy the light column that had trapped Gerald.

Even under their attacks, the pressure in the light column increased sharply, and the hard shell on the surface of Gerald's body began to emit cracking sounds. Countless cracks spread out, like lines of minuscule bugs crawling over his body.

Gerald himself also knew how powerful the light column was. Trapped inside, he had to try and make an effort to save himself since no one else could do so.

Buzz!

A green colored light began to leak out from the cracks.

The Grandmaster of Heaven felt the strong life energy that was contained within the light column with a look of contempt on his face.

Gerald was a Chaos Ancient God who had mastered the truth of life. However, it was impossible for him to use that power to repair his body.

"Huh! Don't try to struggle. It is useless,"

the Grandmaster of Heaven sneered. And as soon as his words finished, the squeezing force in the light column doubled suddenly.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

With a wispy, cracking sound, Gerald's shell was suddenly broken completely. Under the irresistible pressure, the tissues in his body began to bleed profusely, and his huge and fragile compound eyes exploded outside.

However, the truth power surrounding him did not try to repair his body. It could not. Instead, it was transforming his body.

The truth was, even if it did try, it was useless to repair the broken shell. The shell was just a broken defense mechanism. It was not suitable for such a high pressure environment.

The truth power was instead growing a thin layer of tissue over the hard shell. The tissue was flat and weirdly thin, as if it were made of countless pieces of paper.

This was the only visible change on the surface of Gerald's body. At the same time, several more changes were taking place inside him.

The squeezed body tissue was quickly being transformed by the truth power. Gerald's height was being reduced constantly. Finally, he became completely flat. In fact, that was what he wanted to do.

In a short while, the originall

lumn materialized and covered Zen.

As Zen's tentacles absorbed the wall of the light column for a while, the wall was broken down once again. The light column was able to hinder Zen for just a single second.

However, the Grandmaster of Heaven didn't have any other way to deal with Zen as of now. Therefore, as soon as the light column was broken, he summoned yet another one. The light columns kept on materializing one after another and this bought him some time.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

All the light columns were broken by Zen.

If one observed carefully, the suckers on his tentacles were subtly changing shape during the whole process.

In the beginning, the suckers had been circular, but now they had slowly evolved into a diamond-shaped structure. That way, they could absorb the Great Sanskrit Light much more efficiently. The speed at which they could break the light columns was increasing with every strike, which left the Grandmaster of Heaven flabbergasted.

Gerald, who was quickly repairing his body, along with Judson, Fuxi, and the Snake Goddess quietly watched the scene unfold before their eyes, without any intention of interfering. They knew their presence wouldn't make much of a difference in this battle.

What confused the Grandmaster of Heaven was that after breaking the light columns, Zen could have just moved forward to attack him. If he were caught by Zen's tentacles, he would definitely die.

However, Zen was pressing forward very slowly. What was he up to?

While the Grandmaster of Heaven was lost in thought and trying to understand what was going on, a thin line was floating in the void behind him.

When he finally approached the thin line unwittingly, a mass of tentacles appeared out of nowhere and swallowed him.
