Accompanied by the falling away of the final chain, that massive Pendulum of Life finally completely broke free from its restraints.

Hum—!

It resembled a lit sun, blooming with unprecedented brilliant golden light.

Upon the clock face, countless profound runes flowed crazily, as if they possessed life.

The primitive pendulum in the center began to sway rhythmically from side to side, and with every swing, it emitted a vast, majestic, and terrifying might filled with the aura of life.

This was the true appearance of a Divine Artifact!

Bathed in that sacred golden light and feeling the vast Divine Might rushing towards him, Thor's spirits lifted.

No longer able to suppress the wild joy in his heart, he looked up at the sky and let out a smug and flamboyant laugh.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Finally!"

"This legendary Divine Artifact is finally mine!"

He was thinking excitedly.

The next second, that aged voice slowly rang out, carrying a trace of unsuppressable laughter.

"Hahahahaha…"

"Thank you… for breaking my Seal…"

"I can finally… be resurrected!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Resurrected?

The smile on Thor's face abruptly froze.

What did that mean?

Wasn't it the artifact spirit of the Pendulum of Life?

How could an artifact spirit be resurrected?

A strong sense of unease suddenly rose in Thor's heart.

Without even thinking, he reached out his hand, intending to touch that massive Pendulum of Life.

However, the moment his fingertips were about to touch that cold metal,

an unmatched and terrifying power suddenly erupted from the pendulum clock!

Boom—!

Thor didn't even have time to react before his entire body was hit head-on as if by a high-speed train!

A heart-wrenching pain came from his chest, and the crisp sound of breaking bones was clearly audible!

His entire body flew backward like a cannonball, smashing fiercely into the distant mountain-like pile of skeletons!

The next second, it felt as though the entire heaven and earth began to shake violently!

Rumble…

Rumble…

A dull and rhythmic loud noise came from all directions without any warning.

"What is this sound?"

Kalen furrowed his brow, clearly feeling that everything around them was undergoing some unknown change.

Controlling Gandalf, Zhou Huai finally revealed an unprecedented solemnity on his calm face.

He speculated, "Don't you think… this sound is very much like a heartbeat."

Hearing this, Kalen subconsciously asked a very stupid question.

"Whose heartbeat?"

Zhou Huai answered without hesitation.

"Who else could it be?"

"Don't forget, we are currently inside this big guy's body."

Kalen's body suddenly stiffened.

He widened his already large eyes, his charred face filled with shock.

"You… you mean…"

"It's this giant exotic beast, it… it's resurrecting?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"How could it not be possible?"

Zhou Huai asked calmly in return.

"Doesn't the Pendulum of Life master the rules of life?"

"It was originally used to resurrect life!"

By now, Zhou Huai finally completely understood.

All previous doubts were completely resolved at this moment.

No wonder the Pendulum of Life was Sealed.

Because what was truly Sealed was not the Pendulum of Life.

But this terrifying giant beast that had been slumbering for who knows how many years!

That aged voice earlier was not the artifact spirit of the Pendulum of Life at all.

Rather, it was the undying soul of this powerful exotic beast!

This fellow had been secretly guiding everyone, step by step, to help it break the Seal.

Ultimately, with the help of the vast life force of the Pendulum of Life, it would complete its resurrection!

Meanwhile.

On the sea surface within the ruins, the already turbulent sea completely boiled!

Towering waves hundreds of meters high frantically lashed against the sea surface, and the stirred-up billows were a hundred times more terrifying than the Giant Waves Raging Gandalf had cast earlier!

The exotic beast army on the sea surface became exceptionally irritable.

They were like headless flies, frantically colliding and tearing at each other, as if the end of the world had arrived.

At that very moment, a bizarre scene appeared.

At first, it was only some low-level marine exotic beasts whose bodies began to twist and wither strangely, the luster in their eyes rapidly dissipating until they completely lost life.

Immediately after, this bizarre death spread rapidly like a plague!

One deep-sea exotic beast after another twisted and struggled amidst painful roars.

Their vitality was seemingly extracted from afar by some invisible existence!

In just a few minutes, hundreds and thousands of deep-sea exotic beasts turned into withered corpses floating on the surface of the sea!

The surviving Classer on ships or hiding on small islands widened their eyes in terror upon seeing this scene.

"Who can tell me what on earth is happening?!"

"Why are these exotic beasts dying for no reason?!"

"I don't know… I just feel… as if something extraordinary has happened!"

Down in the pitch-black deep sea tens of thousands of meters below,

those several Hell-grade deep-sea Bosses let out earth-shattering roars!

Their crimson eyes stared fixedly at the huge corpse in front of them, launching the most frantic, desperate charge!

Various terrifying skills filled with destructive aura poured crazily toward that huge corpse as if they cost nothing!

However, the vitality within that huge corpse grew increasingly flourishing.

It seemed that the massive body, which had been dormant for who knows how many years, had even begun to sway slightly!

Inside the corpse.

Thor soared into the sky from the mountain-like pile of skeletons!

Lightning flashed around his body, and his handsome face was written with undisguised ferocity!

Looking around, he could clearly feel that the dark red flesh walls around him were writhing slightly.

Looking again at the Pendulum of Life in the distance that was still blooming with strong vitality,

anyone who wasn't a fool would understand what had happened!

"I don't care what you are!"

Icy killing intent leaked from Thor's eyes.

"Go to Hell!"

He knew very well that he must absolute not let this big guy completely resurrect!

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave this place alive!

Boom—!

A violent blue lightning suddenly erupted from within his body!

He raised 【Mjölnir】 high, and the violent lightning power around his body surged frantically into it like a hundred rivers converging into the sea!

Smashing fiercely toward that massive Pendulum of Life!

However, the reviving giant beast seemed to have also sensed the threat.

Hiss—!

Without any warning, countless thick dark red tentacles split out from the writhing dark red flesh walls around it!

Those tentacles were like arrows released from a bow, dense and overwhelming, sweeping towards Thor!

Thor roared, and 【Mjölnir】 in his hand erupted with even more dazzling lightning!

However, in order to break the Seal earlier, he had already consumed too much Origin power.

Facing this endless siege of tentacles at this moment, he was actually forced to retreat step by step!

Just at this moment.

In the distance, a calm voice slowly sounded.

That person held a staff, and dark green flames frantically condensed at the tip of the staff!

He chanted loudly, his voice filled with an irresistible majesty!

【Forbidden Spell: Meteor Rain!】
