Freshwater Soul Beasts? Who Are You Looking Down On! We Come From the Sea!!

"Alright, alright, then let me see how terrifying the wrath of you King of the Forest is."

"Attack!"

Ye Wen stopped wasting words and, calling out to Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, the three of them charged forward.

"Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, you two go deal with the Sky Azure Bull Python at the bottom of the lake. This Titan Giant Ape is mine."

"Yes, Boss!"

"You're seeking death!!"

The Titan Giant Ape roared in fury. It leaped high into the air, its terrifying form crashing to the ground like an earthquake. Its massive fist slammed towards Ye Wen.

"Heh." Ye Wen let out a cold laugh.

His body was only about the size of the Titan Giant Ape's fist, and his own fist was dozens of times smaller, yet this tiny fist managed to send the Titan Giant Ape staggering back several meters.

"How is this possible!!"

Bang!

"What terrifying strength!" The Titan Giant Ape was astonished. In many cases, Soul Beasts' power came from their physical bodies; a Soul Beast's body was far stronger than a human's.

The Titan Giant Ape's advantage lay in its incredibly dominant strength.

Yet, this human before it, without even using a Soul Skill, had repelled its greatest strength!

Was this real?

Before the Titan Giant Ape could recover from its shock, something even more astonishing happened.

It watched with its own eyes as Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai transformed into two colossal Soul Beasts!

The massive Evil Tiger King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King leaped from the sky into the lake.

"Soul Beasts!"

"They're actually Soul Beasts!"

"What in the world is going on? Why can they turn into humans and then back into Soul Beasts!"

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were dumbfounded and utterly confused.

Having never left the Star Dou Great Forest, they knew nothing about Sea Soul Beasts and didn't recognize Evil Tiger and the Demon Soul Great White Shark as such.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! What's going on? The water here makes me feel so uncomfortable all over!!" Evil Tiger roared.

"Idiot Evil Tiger, this is lake water, not seawater! Don't worry about that, follow me and dive to the lakebed to deal with that Sky Azure Bull Python!"

Plop!

Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai disappeared from the lake's surface, plunging straight into the depths.

Meanwhile, Ye Wen had already launched another attack on the Titan Giant Ape. He had seen through the Titan Giant Ape's thoughts and said, "Surprised, aren't you? But you're not mistaken. We are, in fact, Soul Beasts."

Bang! Boom boom boom!

The Titan Giant Ape desperately defended against Ye Wen's onslaught, 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 this moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python's roar came from the lakebed.

The Lake of Life began to churn violently, and soon, an incredibly massive monster burst from the surface. It had a bull's head and a snake's body – it was the Sky Azure Bull Python!

Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai were frantically tearing at its serpentine body.

The Sky Azure Bull Python writhed in agony, desperately shaking its body, finally flinging Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai away.

"Sea Soul Beasts from the ocean, what are you doing on our land? What's the point of you occupying this place and making us submit!?" the Sky Azure Bull Python demanded.

"You'll understand soon enough."

Ye Wen's goal in subduing them, besides strengthening his own Soul Beast forces, was to prevent Da Ming and Er Ming from sacrificing themselves to Tang San.

Secondly, land Soul Beasts had a much harder time than Sea Soul Beasts. Even a place as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest was merely a gathering place for Soul Beasts being farmed by humans.

Humans could just come in and hunt them whenever they pleased, couldn't they?

To put it plainly, wasn't it just a larger Soul Hunting Forest?

Even if they didn't sacrifice themselves to Tang San, they would eventually die at the hands of Bibi Dong and the Martial Soul Hall.

Ye Wen subduing them was, in a way, saving their lives.

"No matter the meaning behind your actions, we will not let you succeed!"

"Is that so? But your strength is too weak; you can't change anything." Ye Wen shook his head and, the next second, released the Demonic Whale Domain.

A giant ice crystal cage enveloped the five Soul Beasts within.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't unleash the terrifying power generated by Tang Hao's ring-breaking technique; they couldn't escape.

This domain skill was simply Ye Wen's best skill for capturing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

"We are all Soul Beasts, so I will defeat you in my Soul Beast form."

"Roar!!!"

Ye Wen also transformed into his Soul Beast form. At this moment, his incredibly terrifying Deep Sea Demonic Whale King form appeared before Da Ming and Er Ming.

"Big brother, what is this thing?"

"How can his size be so terrifying!! It's at least ten times mine!"

"Second brother, I... I don't know either."

In everyone's eyes, Da Ming and Er Ming, who were already colossal, still appeared small and dwarfed in front of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's size.

They stared in extreme fear at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's terrifying size and aura, somewhat intimidated.

This Soul Beast is too amazing!

Has its energy cultivation reached hundreds of thousands of years?

Da Ming and Er Ming had too many questions in their hearts.

"Let me tell you, I! Am from the most powerful Sea Soul Beast race in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale!"

Ye Wen's voice echoed throughout the entire Life Lake.

As Ye Wen's nearly million-year cultivation as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's aura appeared, and his whale roar sounded, the commotion here actually alarmed a terrifying existence slumbering in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Somewhere in the forest, a giant silver dragon suddenly awoke. He instantly opened his eyes, his mental power rapidly spreading to cover the location of the Life Lake.

This silver dragon was none other than the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the transformed benevolent aspect of the Dragon God, the strongest beast deity in the God Realm back then!

"Sea Soul Beast? Deep Sea Demonic Whale."

"And Evil Spirit Orca, as well as the Demon Soul Great White Shark. Strange, what's going on! How can these Sea Soul Beasts leave the ocean and come here?"

Gu Yuena was clearly well-traveled; she wasn't like the Titan Giant Ape, who had never left the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not only did she recognize these three types of Sea Soul Beasts, but she also knew that Sea Soul Beasts couldn't survive long outside of the ocean. Logically, they should have dehydrated and died before even arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Therefore, this made Gu Yuena very perplexed and confused.

What surprised her even more was that this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had actually cultivated to nearly a million years, just one step away from becoming a god!

She knew that the Golden Eye Black Dragon King Di Tian, whom she was familiar with, was only over 700,000 years old!

What kind of existence was Di Tian?

He was called the Beast God by countless Soul Beasts, a dragon from the Black Dragon clan. He was meticulously cared for by the dragon clan in his youth and was personally taught by the Dragon God. He was a ferocious beast from the dragon race that survived from the Dragon God era.

And he hadn't cultivated as fast as this Deep Sea Demonic Whale?

Gu Yuena had many unanswered questions, which made her decide to continue observing the battle in the Life Lake.
