In a single thought, Hai Chen had made his decision. He wanted to see just what abilities gave this Human Race cultivator the audacity to be so arrogant.
A moment later, far from the Star Abyss Gate, Lu Ye stood there brazenly, looking calmly at Hai Chen not far away. "Make your move. You only have one chance!"
Hai Chen had originally wanted to chat with Lu Ye a little longer, but these words instantly enraged him. "Then, Fellow Daoist, you'd best be careful!"
His already formless body twisted and transformed, becoming an enormous Water Dragon. The Water Dragon was lifelike, each scale on its body clearly defined, with Dragon Might faintly spreading through the air.
Amid a roaring dragon cry, it bared its fangs and claws as it pounced on Lu Ye. Before it even arrived, the might of a Merging Dao Peak swept across the surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, it was upon him. The giant dragon opened its jaws and bit down at Lu Ye, meeting no resistance as it swallowed him whole.
Hai Chen sneered inwardly. This Human Race Lu Ye might indeed have some ability, but he was far too arrogant. He might never even have seen the Water Spirit Race before and knew nothing of the strange nature of their divine abilities. Now that he had been swallowed into his belly, Hai Chen merely had to activate the Wuhuan Heavy Water to refine him. Even if he truly were a Merging Dao Peak, he would not last three breaths before his body and bones were utterly gone.
Yet the temptation of a belonging treasure prevented him from harboring any killing intent. Thus, he decided to give Lu Ye a small punishment and let him understand the consequences of looking down on him.
