Killing a Sea Soul Beast, Storage Pendant

Through the suddenly turbulent water, Su Chen sensed something launching a sneak attack on him.

Underwater, and moving this fast—there was no need to guess what it was.

In that instant, the Life-Killing Spear in Su Chen's hand traced an arc.

The seawater around the spear tip offered no resistance whatsoever. Instead, it seemed to lend it momentum, increasing the Life-Killing Spear's speed even further.

Su Chen clearly felt the spear tip collide with something hard. Only then did he see what had attacked him.

It was a peculiar Sea Soul Beast with a two-meter-long horn growing from the top of its head.

What had collided with the Life-Killing Spear was precisely this Sea Soul Beast's horn.

Su Chen's palm tingled slightly. This Sea Soul Beast was incredibly strong, and it swam exceptionally fast as well.

If the Blessing of the Goddess of Life had not greatly enhanced Su Chen's senses, he really would not have detected that sneak attack just now.

Of course, if he had not received the Blessing of the Goddess of Life, he would not have entered the sea in the first place.

Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Even if he entered the sea, it would certainly be near the shore.

Sea Soul Beasts had not appeared near Sea Burial Village for many years.

So why had he happened to encounter one?

Through the faint sunlight filtering through the seawater, Su Chen saw the red eyes of the Sea Soul Beast that had attacked him. They brimmed with greedy desire.

Well then, Su Chen understood.

It seemed that some scent emitted by his body had made this Sea Soul Beast act like a demon encountering Tang Sanzang—it wanted a bite of his flesh.

"Heh heh, you want to eat me? I happen to have skipped breakfast too."

Su Chen had never eaten Sea Soul Beast meat before.

After a night of intense activity, Su Chen was still full of energy, though his stomach was somewhat hungry.

Since this Sea Soul Beast had delivered itself to his door, Su Chen would not let it go no matter what.

From their earlier exchange, Su Chen felt that while this Soul Beast was fast and extremely powerful in the sea, he had a good chance of defeating it.

What worried him now was that if he failed to kill it in one strike, this Sea Soul Beast might flee once it realized things were going badly.

Bwoom~

The Life-Killing Spear collided once more with the horn of the Sea Soul Beast as it turned and charged at him again.

In truth, Su Chen had enough strength this time to injure it while neutralizing its forward charge.

But if he did that, this Sea Soul Beast would most likely run away.

Su Chen pretended to struggle, making each block more perilous than the last.

At last, this Sea Soul Beast felt the time was right.

It abruptly retreated some distance, violently flicked its massive tail, and shot toward Su Chen at a speed far greater than before.

"This is the chance I've been waiting for."

Su Chen tightened his grip on the Life-Killing Spear, and the seawater around its tip began to tremble faintly.

Just as the Sea Soul Beast approached, a whirlpool condensed before its horn.

If Su Chen still intended to deal with it as before, deflecting its horn with his spear tip to neutralize its attack while having no spare strength left, he would definitely be in serious trouble.

Though this whirlpool was not large and did not appear especially powerful, it could certainly obstruct or even alter the direction of his spear tip.

This Sea Soul Beast had actually been holding back a trump card until now. It displayed a degree of intelligence.

That made sense.

Even wild beasts used certain tactics when hunting, much less Soul Beasts.

But this time, Su Chen had no intention of repeating the same trick.

With a flick of the spear tip, Su Chen's body became like a powerful bow drawn to its limit.

Whoosh!

The Life-Killing Spear shot out fiercely. The water before its tip spiraled away in every direction, and a brief waterless passage actually formed in the spear's wake.

With a pop.

A red gleam flashed from the tip of the Life-Killing Spear. The Sea Soul Beast's hidden killing move, the rapidly spinning water vortex, shattered in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterward, the Sea Soul Beast's hard horn cracked and broke into two pieces.

The Life-Killing Spear continued forward without the slightest hindrance, piercing straight into the Sea Soul Beast's forehead. The Soul Power condensed at the spear tip suddenly erupted, exploding within the Sea Soul Beast's brain.

Then, Su Chen was carried backward for some distance by the tremendous momentum.

After all, this was beneath the sea. There was nowhere to brace himself, and the mud on the seabed was far too soft.

But that was fine too.

Borrowing the force of the Sea Soul Beast's final charge, Su Chen returned to shore more quickly.

"Heave, heave-ho!"

Su Chen exerted himself and dragged the Sea Soul Beast out of the water, hauling it onto the beach.

Good heavens.

It had been difficult to see clearly underwater. Only after getting it ashore did Su Chen understand just how large this Sea Soul Beast was.

Excluding its long horn, its body alone was at least five meters long.

It naturally could not compare to certain overlords of the deep sea, but swallowing Su Chen whole would have been effortless.

Although this Sea Soul Beast had a slender build, it was extremely dense. It definitely weighed over a thousand jin, and its meat was surely firm.

If Su Chen had not received the Blessing of the Goddess of Life, he definitely would not have been able to drag it up.

Now he could finally say: I possess Innate Divine Strength.

Though his Innate Divine Strength had actually been acquired later in life.

"Your adaptability is quite good. Though this Sea Soul Beast is only a little over two hundred years old, underwater, it is more troublesome than a five- or six-hundred-year Soul Beast on land."

The God of Destruction's voice rang out.

"Senior Destruction, you're still here? I thought you had left long ago."

Su Chen had practiced his spear techniques all night. He had not expected the God of Destruction to still be watching over him.

A smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

He had long noticed the pale yellow Soul Ring that had appeared on the Soul Beast's body. If his Soul Power had reached level ten, he could absorb the Soul Ring now.

Of course, he would never rashly absorb this Sea Soul Beast's Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring.

Before even obtaining his first Soul Ring, he could already hunt a hundred-year Soul Beast—and in the sea, no less.

His strength should be greater than Gangzi's, right?

That so-called master had faced a hundred-year Mandala Snake and gotten beaten like a dog. If not for Tang San, he would have even lost his life.

Though that Mandala Snake had been four hundred years old, Yu Xiaogang had not been fighting underwater.

Pah!

Why compare himself to a useless piece of trash who had not even reached level thirty by the age of fifty?

"I also modified your Pendant while I was at it. It can now be used for storage. Figure it out yourself. Your physique has improved considerably, so do not neglect your cultivation."

After giving a few instructions, the God of Destruction, who had silently guarded Su Chen throughout the night, finally went offline.

"Ah..."

The God of Destruction had gone offline too quickly, not even leaving Su Chen time to thank him.

He had just been wondering how to bring this Sea Soul Beast back, yet the God of Destruction had immediately brought him good news.

Storage Soul Tools were not cheap at the current level of Soul Tool development.

Not to mention that his Pendant had been modified by the God of Destruction. It was definitely no ordinary Soul Tool.

Su Chen infused a trace of Soul Power into the Pendant and immediately understood how to use it.

"Whoa, this space is really huge."

The Pendant was only the size of his little fingernail, yet the space inside it was enormous.

As expected of old buddy Destruction—when he made a move, he was truly generous.

Su Chen estimated that it held at least a million cubic meters, and probably even more. It could easily fit several basketball courts, let alone this Sea Soul Beast.

"Off you go."

Su Chen slapped the Sea Soul Beast, and it immediately vanished from where it lay.

When he looked into the Pendant Space, the Sea Soul Beast was lying in one corner, extremely conspicuous within the empty Pendant Space.
