Chapter 208: The New Lord of the Soul Beast Clan? Chu Chen?
Chu Chen looked up and saw the distant horizon darkening, churning with eerie dark purple lightning. Beneath the sea level, a massive entity was approaching at extreme speed, radiating an extraordinary pressure!
"Chu Chen, this is a powerful Soul Beast!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately realized that this was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Chu Chen had mentioned. He hadn't expected it to show itself voluntarily.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King..."
Chu Chen said calmly. He knew the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had always coveted the Sea God Position. Now, Chu Chen could be said to have severed the Sea God's Legacy.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had likely reached his breaking point.
"Tianmeng, you, go kill him." Chu Chen patted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's head with a nonchalant expression.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "???"
"Me? You mean, me?"
Chu Chen said with a serious expression, "Aren't you a nine-hundred-thousand-year beast? Even if you can't beat him, it shouldn't be a problem to stall him for a while."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: "..."
...
"Boom—!"
The massive black shadow in the deep sea suddenly leapt out of the water, then transformed into a human figure landing high in the air. He spotted Chu Chen below instantly, a flash of violence surging in his pitch-black eyes.
"Human, did you... kill High Priestess Poseidon?!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King questioned, his voice exploding like a thunderclap, hiding a hint of fury.
"It was me."
By now, Chu Chen's Soul Power had recovered. The brief Soul Power gap after using the Life Contract had also been filled. He had sufficient strength to fight another battle, and his opponent was this Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"To be able to kill High Priestess Poseidon, you humans do have some skill. You must be the successor of some Divinity as well."
Speaking of this, a hint of greed surged in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pupils.
He could sense the faint Will of Destruction on Chu Chen. That power was too strong. Compared to the power of the Sea God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt almost like it was love at first sight for the power of the God of Destruction...
"This is the Divinity most suitable for me to inherit!"
"If I can devour this human... perhaps I can step into that Realm!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King smiled greedily, his gaze locked onto Chu Chen.
"I know what you're thinking."
Chu Chen smiled faintly. He rose into the sky, confronting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Two invisible waves of energy collided, exploding across this sea region. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength was not inferior to High Priestess Poseidon's. To kill him, Chu Chen...
...would definitely have to expend some effort or pay a small price!
"Just as well, I also want to devour you to make you my eighth Soul Ring."
Chu Chen grinned, holding the Destruction Dragon Spear as he prepared to strike.
The million-year Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was the perfect target for Chu Chen's eighth Soul Ring. Not to mention that this fellow contained attributes like water, lightning, darkness, and destruction!
Furthermore, according to the original trajectory...
...after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King completed its evolution alongside Tang San's ascension to godhood, its own form began to transition toward a Dragon form...
Therefore, a trace of Dragon Bloodline might be hidden within this fellow's body. It was almost the most suitable Soul Ring for the Ancient Dragon of Destruction!
"Arrogant!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King held two circular, angular heavy hammers. With one swing, the entire sky trembled violently!
A million years of cultivation was released, enough to destroy heaven and earth!
"Chu Chen... you... good luck! I'll give you mental support."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was terrified and hastily retreated back into the Ice God Dragon Wings. Perhaps in terms of cultivation...
...he was only ten thousand years behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
But in terms of combat strength, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could probably take on dozens or even a hundred of him without a problem!
"Boom—!"
"Human, today I shall devour you! Let me inherit your God Position!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King held his heavy hammers, surging with vast Soul Power. He stirred the endless energy behind him and charged toward Chu Chen. Perhaps because he felt the Sea God's Legacy was broken and the Sea God's phantom could no longer descend to suppress him...
...he had become completely unscrupulous!
"You dare."
Suddenly, an exquisitely beautiful silver figure landed in front of Chu Chen. She lightly struck out with her jade-like hand, and a brilliant silver light roared out, blasting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King away.
The power of this strike was terrifying.
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King tumbled several times in the sky before coming to a stop. He looked at the silver-haired woman who had suddenly appeared in front of Chu Chen with shock and dread in his heart.
"She... could she be..."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed.
Chu Chen looked at the suddenly appearing Gu Yuena with some surprise and asked curiously, "Gu Yue, why are you here?"
"I sensed the Dragon pressure you released earlier from the Lake of Life and was worried, so I came to take a look. Your strength seems to have received another massive boost."
Gu Yuena said with a smile. It seemed that when she was with Chu Chen, the frost carried by her cold temperament melted away. Her voice was gentle as she spoke.
"I see..."
Chu Chen smiled slightly.
Gu Yuena stood in front of Chu Chen, but Chu Chen took two steps forward to stand side-by-side with her.
"You... who are you?!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stared fixedly at Gu Yuena. From her body, he felt a terrifying aura—it was an ultimate suppression originating from the depths of his Bloodline!
Could this woman be the Co-Lord of Spirit Beasts?!
"You do not know my identity?"
Gu Yuena's tone was indifferent yet carried the absolute dominance of a ruler. Her purple pupils shimmered with a light as dazzling as the stars, and her powerful aura erupted, suppressing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Gu Yue, leave him to me."
"I need this guy as my eighth Soul Ring."
Chu Chen said. He knew Gu Yuena might hesitate because of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's terrifying strength; after all, killing such a powerful expert was a loss for the Soul Beast Clan.
"Before coming here, I already sent a transmission to Di Tian."
Gu Yuena suddenly said something that left Chu Chen a bit confused.
Informed him of what?!
"The Dragon Clan shall honor a new Lord," Gu Yuena stated.
"What?"
Chu Chen's expression was one of bewilderment, but he saw a gentle smile hooking the corner of Gu Yuena's mouth as her gaze remained fixed on him.
"Your Ancient Dragon of Destruction possesses the supreme Dragon Clan Bloodline. The Dragon Clan, and even the Soul Beast Clan, should respect you as Lord. Therefore, you do not need to ask for my opinion."
"The Soul Beast Clan will also support you in becoming a god, completely breaking the rule that Soul Beasts cannot achieve godhood."
Gu Yuena gave Chu Chen no chance to object, as this was already a decision she had made. Di Tian was already aware, so she felt no burden!
"You really are..."
For a moment, Chu Chen didn't know what to say. With a sudden turn of events, he had actually become the new Lord of the Soul Beast Clan?!
