Continuing the Voyage, Encountering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
After repelling the horde of Evil Spirit Orca, the Vast Sea continued its voyage into the deep sea.
Golden Crocodile Douluo sat on the deck tending to the wound on his shoulder, Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo meditated to recover their Soul Power.
The Snake Lance Douluo and the Porcupinefish Douluo took turns guarding both sides of the ship's side to prevent any more Sea Soul Beasts from getting close.
Dugu Bo leaned against the mast and took a swig of wine, but his face still looked rather grim. The fact that the poisonous fog had been diluted by most of its concentration in the sea had been keeping him sullen.
Lin Chen walked over to Qian Renxue's side. She was leaning against the ship's railing, and her complexion was better than before, but she had not fully recovered.
The Angel Domain covered an area of several hundred feet. Although his Soul Power had recovered to about 70-80%, he still felt somewhat fatigued.
Lin Chen smiled and walked to Qian Renxue's side, handing her a cup. "Have some hot water; we still have a long voyage ahead."
Qian Renxue glanced at him, took the cup without saying a word, slowly drank two sips, and then turned her gaze to the distant sea.
After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue spoke first, "How do you plan to hunt down that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
"At that time, we'll definitely need the seniors to take the lead. We'll just be there to lend a hand. They'll be the ones to decide the tactics," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Qian Renxue nodded. "That Soul Beast is indeed very suitable for you, but the Soul Shock of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast should not be underestimated. You must be very careful when absorbing the Soul Ring."
Lin Chen nodded with a smile, grinning, "Is Sister Xue worried about me?"
"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid you'll die." Qian Renxue quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at Lin Chen.
Several dozen days later, the Vast Sea entered a special Sea.
The color of the seawater changed from deep blue to pale gold, and a very faint halo spread across the surface, as if something was glowing underwater.
A warm and gentle atmosphere filled the air, completely different from the chilling atmosphere of the deep sea.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood at the bow of the ship, closed his eyes to sense for a while, then opened them and said, "The aura of light in this Sea is very strong; that Soul Beast should be nearby."
He released his spiritual power to probe into the sea. The spiritual power of a level 97 Titled Douluo has an extremely wide coverage and extremely precise perception. He quickly touched an extremely large life form.
That life form radiated a rich Power of Light, while also possessing the gentleness and fluidity of water. Its aura was pure and ancient, and it was evenly matched with the previous Evil Orca King.
"Finally found it." Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the sea to the southeast. "It's in that direction, let's go there now."
Lin Chen also released his spiritual power to probe into the sea. His senses extended downwards along the seawater and soon touched the enormous life form.
The Power of Light was more intense than he had anticipated, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
Lin Chen exclaimed excitedly, "It's truly powerful! This Power of Light is so pure!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded and said, "None of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are easy to deal with. This one is even older than the Evil Orca King, and its strength is probably comparable to a level 96 peak Titled Douluo. Moreover, it has a natural advantage in the ocean environment, so we cannot let our guard down."
"I'll take the lead and confront the Soul Beast head-on. Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, and Old Poison, you'll attack with me to prevent it from escaping. As for Snake Lance and Pufferfish, you two are responsible for protecting Chen and Xue'er."
"Young Master Chen, just wait until we severely injure it before you kill it."
Everyone agreed in unison, nodding in unison.
After the discussion, Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to leap into the sea, his Martial Soul Possession, and a golden crocodile phantom appeared around him.
Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo followed closely behind, their Coiling Dragon Staff emitting a deep hum in the seawater.
Dugu Bo unleashed his Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which possessed him, and a deep green poisonous mist condensed around him.
Lin Chen and Qian Renxue followed closely beside the group of Titled Douluos, with Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo flanking them on either side.
The further down you go, the brighter the light becomes.
The seabed was not dark; instead, it was shrouded in a layer of pale golden light.
The source of the light was a gigantic Soul Beast, which was coiled among the reefs on the seabed. Its body was hundreds of meters long and resembled Jiaolong. Its entire body was covered with Glazed Holy Light Blue-Gold Scales, and each scale was flowing with purifying holy light.
It has a pair of curved dragon horns on its head, the tips of which gleam with a golden halo. Its limbs are thick and strong, and its claws are deeply embedded in the rocks.
Golden Crocodile Douluo did not rush to attack, but first released his Soul Power to test the beast. The aura of a level Level 98 Titled Douluo pressed down on the Soul Beast as if it were a tangible substance.
The Soul Beast suddenly opened its eyes, its golden pupils shining like two bright lamps on the seabed, reflecting the figure of Golden Crocodile Douluo in its vertical pupils.
It did not attack immediately, but slowly raised its head and looked at the uninvited guests in front of it.
Those golden pupils reflected the figures of a group of Titled Douluo.
The Soul Beast's pupils contracted slightly as it sensed the powerful auras of the group of Titled Douluos, and it roared furiously, "Humans, you're courting death!"
"Let's all attack and take him down!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't give it much time. He raised his right hand and unleashed the full power of his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul. The phantom of a golden giant crocodile condensed and took shape on the seabed, with a body length of over forty meters. Its dark golden scales gleamed with a cold, hard luster in the holy light.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo simultaneously attacked from both sides. The Coiling Dragon Staff blazed with golden light, and the two attacks flanked the Soul Beast's flanks from the left and right.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's Soul Power surged, and Soul Ring third and fifth Soul Rings lit up one after another, radiating dazzling light.
He was clad in golden scale armor, and his aura continued to rise, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo unleashed their Martial Soul Avatar, their Coiling Dragon Staffs gleaming with golden light, condensing supreme divine power.
Dugu Bo then quietly released a poisonous mist, which resembled a strange green cloud that slowly spread through the air.
The Snake Lance and the Pufferfish flashed to the sides, each surrounded by shimmering Soul Rings, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Human, get out of my way!"
The Soul Beast's body glowed simultaneously with its Glazed Holy Light Blue-Gold Scales, and a layer of pale golden light spread from the scales, covering its entire body.
Sensing the powerful aura of Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others, instead of retreating, they took the initiative to attack.
Douluo I.
The Qian Jun Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff slammed into the light barrier, causing golden light to explode and shattering several pieces of the barrier, but the Soul Beast's body remained completely still.
The Demon Subduing Douluo's attack followed closely behind. Golden light pierced through the light barrier, penetrating the first layer of defense, but was still blocked by the second layer.
"Roar!!"
Sensing the threat, the Soul Beast roared, and its golden scales shot towards the group like arrows, each containing the Power of Light.
Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Crocodile Protection!
Undeterred, Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hands, and a powerful Soul Power shield appeared in front of him, blocking the scales' attack.
