Chapter 305: Chapter 305: The Face-Changer: Revered Lord?
"Uncertain Wind and Waves!"
Bo Saixi chanted softly. The gem on the Sea God’s Trident shone with a great light, and circles of a blue halo of light spread out in all four directions with her as the center. Wherever the halo of light had passed, the space was as if it had been solidified. Even the huge body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had also become sluggish under this power.
A trace of terror flashed in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s eyes. It had sensed a pressure from the depths of its soul. This power far surpassed its imagination. It struggled desperately, wanting to break free from this restraint. But the more it struggled, the greater the pressure on its body became.
For a full eight seconds, it could not move a single bit.
Bo Saixi held the trident. Her figure drew a beautiful arc in the air and in an instant, had arrived at the top of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s head.
The tip of the halberd was facing downwards. One after another of a vortex-shaped blue halo of light had spread out from the tip of the halberd, tightly binding the huge body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Its struggle had become in vain. Even with a million years of cultivation, in front of this divine power, it had also appeared so powerless.
"Damn it! Bo Saixi! You are just lucky! If I can take another step forward and step into the divine level, you may not be my opponent!" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared in its restraint, its voice carrying unwillingness and anger.
"Hmph, Golden Thirteen Halberds, the tenth form, the Sun of the Sea!"
Bo Saixi snorted coldly. The light of the Sea God’s Trident in her hand was even stronger. A huge, blue wheel of light had burst out from her entire body, like a rising sun that had illuminated the entire sea area.
She swept the trident in her hand horizontally. A scorching golden-blue light had suddenly burst out from the main blade, directly chopping at the bound Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had, in its despair, let out a final roar. The mountain-like body had, under this one strike from Bo Saixi, been sent flying with a boom. The huge body had drawn one after another of an afterimage in the air and had in the end heavily smashed on the distant sea surface, stirring up a wave of a monstrous wave.
Its aura was rapidly weakening. It was clear that it had already suffered a heavy blow.
"Hateful! On what basis do you humans have a unique advantage? My soul beast clan, on what basis do we have to be suppressed by you! I am not willing! I am not willing!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was rolling in the sea water. Every struggle was accompanied by a gush of fresh blood. Its eyes were full of unwillingness and venom.
The expression of the Gu Yuena by Lin Feng’s side moved slightly.
"This is a lesson for you, Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The ocean does not just belong to you, nor can any single creature dominate it. It embraces all things and also maintains the balance between all things. You, with all your heart, want to dominate the ocean, and have even more so today attempted to subvert Sea God Island. This is your punishment, and also your warning."
Hearing Bo Saixi’s words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on the contrary was stunned. "You... you are not killing me?"
Bo Saixi shook her head slightly. "Although you have committed a great wrong, your situation is excusable. If you can truly repent and contribute a part of your strength to the peace of the ocean, all of the past can be forgiven."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was silent for a moment. Seeing that Bo Saixi had already put away her Sea God’s Trident, and the divine power fluctuation around her body had also gradually subsided, only then did it slowly speak, "Bo Saixi, please tell me, is Poseidon already dead?"
"Poseidon is dead."
A trace of wild joy flashed in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s eyes. Thinking about it carefully, this Bo Saixi seemed to not have inherited the god-seat in a normal way. And she was not dealing a killing blow to it. Couldn’t it be that there was an opportunity to seek more benefits in this chaos?
In the dazzling blue light, the huge whale body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had gradually transformed into a middle-aged man with blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, wearing a black-blue armor.
"You are different from that bastard Poseidon. You have a broader mind and a benevolence. Please inform me, how can I break through to the divine level? As long as I know the method, I am willing to assist you in guarding this sea area. The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan can also become your assistance in guarding the ocean."
He cupped his fists and slightly bowed at Bo Saixi.
Looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose attitude had changed so quickly, Bo Saixi was a little taken aback. Was this fellow so shameless?
"A soul beast cannot become a god."
Accompanied by a ripple in the space, a silver-white figure had slowly appeared by Bo Saixi’s side.
Gu Yuena’s pupils were cold and clear. "On the current Douluo Star, only by passing the tests left by the gods, and by obtaining the recognition and inheritance of the gods, can one step into the Divine Realm and achieve a god-seat. And a soul beast, restricted by the rules of the Divine Realm, finds it hard to cross the threshold."
"Even if you have already become a million-year soul beast, and have gone through a myriad of difficulties to pass the heavenly tribulation, you also cannot directly become a god. When your cultivation has reached a divine official, the gods of the Divine Realm will descend to the lower realm to kill you."
"A god-seat’s inheritance will not be given to an existence with a soul beast’s foundation. A soul beast’s own cultivation has the restriction of the Divine Realm’s rules."
Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s face instantly became deathly pale. Its body trembled slightly, as if it found it hard to accept this cruel fact.
"How is that possible? The divine level realm that I have pursued for a lifetime is actually just a distant and unattainable dream? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"There must be a way! A god-seat! Humans! Right!"
A crazed, cold light flashed in its pupils. "Since a soul beast cannot become a god, then I will seize a human’s god-seat! The successor of a god-seat, as long as I kill them in the divine trial and seize the god-seat, I will be able to become a true god!"
Gu Yuena gently shook her head, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes. "You have already witnessed the power of a god. Do you think your little tricks can escape the eyes of a god?"
"For you to do this, you first have to have a god-level strength. But if you have a god-level strength, why would you need to do this?"
"What you should truly be considering is how to deal with the Divine Realm’s pursuit after you have become a god, and how to gain a foothold in this heaven and earth. But it is a pity that for a soul beast, that is a road with no end."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s face was a mixture of sunny and cloudy. Gu Yuena’s words were like a sharp knife, accurately stabbing into the most fragile part of its heart. He was silent for a long time and in the end, slowly lowered his head. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Then my lifelong pursuit, has it not all turned into a bubble?"
Seeing this, a strange emotion welled up in Bo Saixi’s heart.
In the past, Poseidon had promised to protect all the living creatures of the ocean. But, for a soul beast to be unable to become a god, wasn’t that an invisible shackle, to forever bind them?
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I can help you break through the barrier of the divine level. But what follows will be the attention of the Divine Realm. You may be hunted. Do you have the guts to take it?"
Lin Feng’s figure flashed and had arrived between Bo Saixi and Gu Yuena, his gaze deep as he looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. His voice was not loud, yet it carried an meaning that brooked no argument.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King fiercely raised its head, its eyes sparkling with a light of shock and disbelief. He stared blankly at Lin Feng, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
This human before him had actually said he could help him break through the barrier of the divine level? One must know that according to what the person had just said, this was a chasm that was hard for countless soul beasts to cross.
On what basis could he do this?
Could it be that he was also a god? No, that’s not right. Even if he were a god, it would be impossible to easily break the rules of the Divine Realm and to help a soul beast to become a god. He was not a person of the Divine Realm, then he...
He looked at the standing position of Lin Feng’s trio. Bo Saixi and the woman who was so beautiful it was unlike a human were actually surrounding him. This had made a trace of a guess arise in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s heart—for Poseidon to have inexplicably fallen, and for Bo Saixi to have taken over the Sea God’s god-seat was probably inextricably linked with him.
"You... who on earth are you?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s voice trembled slightly.
"What do you think?"
The moment Gu Yuena’s voice fell, her aura was also no longer concealed. The pressure from the Silver Dragon King had in an instant filled the air. The vast dragon’s might had made the entire sea area tremble for it. The sea water had begun to churn endlessly. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, under this pressure, had only felt its soul was on the verge of being torn apart. It had widened its eyes, its face full of disbelief.
A huge, silver dragon phantom had slowly appeared behind Gu Yuena. The silver dragon’s scales had sparkled with a luster. The sound of a dragon’s roar was deafening, passing through one’s mind and heart, straight to the deepest part of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s soul.
The pressure from its bloodline had actually made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King kneel on the ground uncontrollably. Its eyes were full of reverence and fear.
The Silver Dragon King was a supreme existence among soul beasts, one of the sources of all soul beast’s bloodlines. He had never thought that he would one day see it with his own eyes.
"You... Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s voice was trembling, and he was on the verge of crying.
"Ma... Master!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s voice, because of his shock, had become intermittent. "You... you are actually still alive! And, you are with these humans..."
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. This fellow really knew how to talk, ha. What did he mean by "actually still alive"? If not for the fact that his cultivation was not easy, she would surely have made him look good.
The moment she withdrew her pressure, the kneeling Deep Sea Demon Whale King scurried over with an eager, waddling trot.
"Master! This humble one, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, has drifted aimlessly for half a lifetime, never encountering a lord of true wisdom. To behold Your Excellency, the Silver Dragon King, today is an honor that transcends three lifetimes of fortune! I vow to follow you unto death, to serve at your command without hesitation or complaint!"
Gu Yuena looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s fawning appearance and couldn’t help but find it a little amusing.
"Get up."
"Yes, Master!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was quite scheming. After having witnessed the strength of Bo Saixi and Gu Yuena, and having been awakened to the fact that to plot for the human race’s god-seat had no future, he had already understood that today there was probably a great opportunity.
Looking at the Master’s aura fluctuation, wasn’t that the Poseidon who had been killed by her?
With her here, what were the bastards of the Divine Realm? What’s more, there was also this young human. His strength, he also could not see through.
Mmm...
The golden-haired woman who was flying towards this side, and the fellow on the ground who was excitedly collecting the fish that had landed on the shore because of the tsunami just now, he also couldn’t see through...
These few people, could they all be gods?
Is the Master going to take me to kill our way up to the Divine Realm?
"Lin Feng, my partner, your Revered Lord."
Gu Yuena had very briefly introduced Lin Feng’s identity to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. A few short words had on the contrary made the entire whale be stunned.
He stared blankly at Lin Feng, his heart surging with an indescribable shock.
Revered Lord? This young human was actually the partner of the Silver Dragon King, their common lord of soul beasts? And his status was so lofty that he was respectfully called "Revered Lord"?
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King only felt that his own worldview had been completely subverted at this moment.
He had originally thought that between humans and soul beasts, besides opposition and struggle, there was no other possibility.
"Revered Lord..." the Deep Sea Demon Whale King murmured to himself, his voice full of reverence and disbelief. He once again sized up Lin Feng, trying to see something from the other party’s body. But Lin Feng’s aura was as deep as the sea, making it simply impossible for him to get a glimpse of it.
Lin Feng indifferently glanced at him. Just one glance had made the pressure from the depths of his bloodline in an instant envelop the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It was a kind of a power that was even deeper than Gu Yuena’s dragon’s might.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King only felt as if he had been stripped of all his disguise, and was stark nakedly exposed under Lin Feng’s gaze.
"Re... Revered Lord..." the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s voice was trembling, even his form of address had become stuttering. It had never felt such a terrifying pressure, as if with just one thought from Lin Feng, it would be completely annihilated between heaven and earth.
"Mmm," Lin Feng nodded. In the palm of his hand, a True Qi was surging. A wisp of a brilliant light had condensed in his palm, as brilliant as a star.
Then, another black and a white, two colors had overflowed from Lin Feng’s two eyes and had fused with the light in his palm.
"Your cultivation has already reached a million years. After you have passed one more thunder tribulation, you will be at the divine level. It’s just that this thunder tribulation, you may not be able to withstand it. The Divine Realm will interfere."
"Now, I will help you."
"Go to the Sea of Deathly Stillness."
The moment his voice fell, Lin Feng waved his hand. A spatial rift had suddenly appeared before the crowd, deep and mysterious. He looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, signaling for it to follow.
Such a magical spatial power!
Although there was fear in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King’s heart, what was more was the desire to break through to the divine level and the reverence for Lin Feng and Gu Yuena. It had unhesitatingly transformed into a stream of light and had drilled into the spatial rift.
Bo Saixi, Gu Yuena, and Qian Renxue had closely followed. A group of five had passed through the spatial rift and had arrived at the Sea of Deathly Stillness—a sea area that was far from being shrouded in a thick, deathly stillness aura.
Here was a place that Lin Feng had specially chosen to help the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to break through, because the special environment here could, to the greatest extent, reduce the casualties of the marine creatures.
On the Sea of Deathly Stillness, dark clouds were dense, and a lightning light was sparkling, pre-announcing the impending storm.
Rong Nianbing, who was still on the surface, looked at the spatial gate slowly closing, a smile on his face. "I won’t go there for now. It wouldn’t be good if I were to be seen by them from the Divine Realm. Let’s cook first. I’ll wait for them to come back and eat."
"Hey hey! Who are you?! You dare to trespass on Sea God Island! Quickly put down that little Demon Soul Great White Shark! Otherwise, I’ll poke you to death!"
A light chide suddenly sounded, interrupting Rong Nianbing’s thoughts. He turned his head to look and saw a young girl with an exceptionally tall figure and gray-blue skin glaring at him.
In her hand, she was tightly holding a long spear that seemed to be condensed from ice. The tip of the spear was pointing straight at Rong Nianbing, its cold intent pressing. It was precisely the king of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks—Little Bai.
"Er, sorry," Rong Nianbing casually threw it. Little Bai, in a panic, caught the unconscious Demon Soul Great White Shark, for fear that it would fall to the ground. After she had stabilized her figure, and had carefully checked the little fellow in her arms and had confirmed that there was no serious injury, only then had she once again cast her gaze on Rong Nianbing, her eyes still carrying a vigilance.
"Who on earth are you? What is your purpose in coming to Sea God Island?" Little Bai’s voice was cold and clear.
Rong Nianbing made a thinking posture. "Me? I am a cook. If you want to talk about my purpose, then it’s to cook a meal and to wait for Lin Feng, Bo Saixi, and the others to come back and to treat them."
"Big Brother Lin Feng? Lady Bo Saixi?" Little Bai’s eyes lit up. "Are you their friend?"
"Of course. Lin Feng is my good brother."
"Then do you know how to cook like Big Brother Lin Feng?" Little Bai’s eyes were full of expectation.
"Little girl, to say it out loud, you may not believe it. In this world, in terms of cooking skills, the one who can surpass me, from ancient to modern times, there has never been one! Even in the entire universe, no one can compare with me!"
"So amazing? Then do you know how to roast fish?"
Rong Nianbing’s eyes widened. "What is a roasted fish? I can make eighteen thousand different kinds of supreme delicacies!"
"No. I just want a roasted fish. On this ground, besides the Demon Soul Great White Shark, you can take all of them, especially the Evil Demon Killer Whale."
"Fine."
Rong Nianbing gritted his teeth. This must be a fellow who had been fed by Lin Feng. Let’s see how he could win back a point.
Little Bai’s eyes were even brighter. This friend of Big Brother Lin Feng’s seems a little stupid. Our Demon Soul Great White Shark, besides this little pitiful one in my own arms, where else is there on the ground?
So many roasted fish. Wuhu! He suffers the toil, and I have something to eat!
