Chapter 20: Freshwater Soul Beasts? Who Are You Looking Down On! We Come from the Sea!!
"Alright, alright, let me see just how terrifying your fury as the King of the Forest really is."
"Make your move!"
Ye Wen didn't waste time, signaling to Xie Hu and Xiao Bai, and the three of them charged forward.
"Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, you handle the Sky Blue Bull Python at the bottom of the lake. I'll deal with the Titan Giant Ape."
"Yes, Boss!"
"Seeking death!!"
The Titan Giant Ape roared with rage, leaping high into the air. Its terrifying size crashed into the ground like an earthquake, and its massive fist slammed towards Ye Wen.
"Heh." Ye Wen sneered coldly.
His body might have been as small as the Titan Giant Ape's fist, and his own fists were several dozen times smaller than the Ape's, but this small fist still sent the Titan Giant Ape stumbling back several meters.
"Impossible!!"
Bang!
"Such terrifying power!" The Titan Giant Ape was stunned. In most cases, soul beasts' strength came from their physical power, and their bodies were much stronger than humans.
The Titan Giant Ape's advantage lay in its overwhelming strength.
But the human in front of it hadn't even used soul skills and was already pushing back its strongest feature!
Was this real?
Before the Titan Giant Ape could fully recover from its shock, something even more surprising happened.
It saw Xie Hu and Xiao Bai transform into two massive soul beasts!
The gigantic Xie Hu, the Killer Whale King, and the Magic Soul White Shark King emerged from the sky and plunged into the lake.
"Soul beasts!"
"They're actually soul beasts!"
"What is going on? Why can they transform into humans and then back into soul beasts?!"
Both the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python were stunned, utterly bewildered.
Having never left the Star Dou Forest, they knew nothing about sea soul beasts, nor did they recognize the Killer Whale King and the Magic Soul White Shark King.
"Ugh! Ugh! What is this? The water here is making me feel uncomfortable!" Xie Hu growled.
"You fool Xie Hu, this is lake water, not sea water! Don't worry about that, let's dive into the lake to deal with the Sky Blue Bull Python!"
Whoosh!
Xie Hu and Xiao Bai vanished into the lake, heading straight for the bottom.
At that moment, Ye Wen launched another attack on the Titan Giant Ape, having already figured out its thoughts. He spoke, "Surprised, aren't you? But you didn't see it wrong, we are actually soul beasts."
Bang! Boom! Boom!
The Titan Giant Ape struggled to block Ye Wen's attacks, still unable to comprehend, "Soul beasts!? Why can you switch between human and soul beast forms!? What kind of soul beasts are you? Freshwater soul beasts?"
"Why! We've never seen you before!"
"Freshwater soul beasts? Who do you think you're looking down on?"
"We come from the sea!"
Ye Wen's voice echoed.
"What! Sea soul beasts..."
"Roar!!!"
At that moment, a roar from the Sky Blue Bull Python came from the depths of the lake.
The Life Lake began to churn violently, and soon, an enormous monster burst from the water's surface—a beast with the head of a bull and the body of a serpent. It was the Sky Blue Bull Python!
Xie Hu and Xiao Bai were fiercely attacking its snake body.
The Sky Blue Bull Python writhed in agony, thrashing its body violently, eventually throwing Xie Hu and Xiao Bai away.
"Sea soul beasts from the ocean, what are you doing in our land forest? You occupy this place, forcing us to submit—what's the point of that!?" the Sky Blue Bull Python said.
"You will understand soon enough."
Ye Wen's goal in capturing them was not just to increase his own soul beast forces, but also to prevent Da Ming and Er Ming from being sacrificed to Tang San.
Additionally, land soul beasts were in a much worse situation than sea soul beasts. Even the massive Star Dou Forest, wasn't it just another hunting ground controlled by the human world?
Humans could hunt and kill as they pleased.
Truthfully, wasn't it just a bigger Soul Hunting Forest?
Even if they hadn't been sacrificed to Tang San, they would eventually die at the hands of the Spirit Hall's Bibi Dong.
Capturing them was actually a way to save them.
"No matter what your reason is for doing this, we won't let you succeed!"
"Is that so? But your power is too weak to change anything." Ye Wen shook his head, and in the next second, he released the Magic Whale Domain.
A giant ice crystal cage enveloped all five soul beasts.
The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't unleash the terrifying power of a ring explosion like Tang Hao. They couldn't escape.
This domain skill was the best for capturing hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
"We are also soul beasts, so I will defeat you in the form of a soul beast."
"Roar!!!"
Ye Wen also transformed into his soul beast form. In that moment, the terrifying size of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King appeared before Da Ming and Er Ming's eyes.
"Big Brother... what is this?"
"How is his size so terrifying!? At least ten times mine!!"
"Second Brother, I... I don't know."
In everyone's eyes, even the already massive Da Ming and Er Ming seemed small in front of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's colossal size.
They stared in terror, awed by the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's formidable size and aura, clearly frightened.
This soul beast was incredibly powerful! It had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years!?
Da Ming and Er Ming were filled with questions.
"I'll tell you, I come from the most powerful sea soul beast race in the ocean—the Deep Sea Magic Whale!" Ye Wen's voice rang out across the entire Life Lake.
As the aura of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, nearly a million years of cultivation, filled the air, the sound of the whale's roar startled a terrifying existence that had been sleeping in the Star Dou Forest.
Deep in the forest, a massive silver dragon suddenly woke up. It immediately opened its eyes, and its spiritual energy rapidly spread to envelop the area around Life Lake.
The silver dragon was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na, who had once been the most powerful beast god in the Divine Realm, and the transformation of the kind part of the Dragon God!
"Sea soul beasts? The Deep Sea Magic Whale..."
"And the Evil Tiger Killer Whale and the Magic Soul White Shark, what is going on? How can these sea soul beasts leave the ocean and come here?"
Gu Yue Na, being well-traveled, was not like the Titan Giant Ape, who had never left the Star Dou Forest.
Not only did she recognize these three sea soul beasts, but she also knew that sea soul beasts couldn't survive outside the ocean for too long. Logically, they should have dried up and died before arriving at Star Dou Forest.
This puzzled her greatly.
What surprised her even more was that this Deep Sea Magic Whale King had cultivated to nearly a million years, and was only one step away from becoming a god!
To think the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, with over 700,000 years of cultivation, hadn't reached this level!
Di Tian was considered a god among soul beasts, coming from the Dragon Clan. He was cared for in his youth by the Dragon Clan and was personally trained by the Dragon God. He was a fearsome beast from the time of the Dragon God.
Yet, this Deep Sea Magic Whale King had cultivated faster?
Gu Yue Na had many unanswered questions, and she decided to continue observing the battle at Life Lake.
