Deep Sea Demon Whale, Wither Storm
Upon seeing the mass of Drowned below, Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately controlled the mecha to slowly rise into the sky.
He knew very well that when Drowned was generated, there was a certain chance that it would be wielding a trident.
Furthermore, he had already seen the guardians inside the Ocean Monument three years ago, who were born with cultivation. These Drowned must also have a newbie gift pack, being born with cultivation.
If a Drowned with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation were to throw a trident at him, his mech's defenses probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Therefore, it's safest to first create distance and ascend to a higher altitude.
However, just as Xiao Chen was maneuvering his mecha into the air, a violent disturbance suddenly erupted on the sea below.
"Boom--!"
A massive figure suddenly burst from the sea surface—it was a Deep Sea Demon Whale!
With a powerful swipe of its massive whale tail, it created a colossal wave that swept away countless Drowned, scattering them in all directions.
The Drowned, which were already floating and wandering on the sea, were now being tossed about by the giant waves, their roars rising and falling, yet they still clung to this area of the sea like maggots clinging to bones.
However, in the very next second—
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Several flashes of cold light appeared, and countless tridents suddenly shot out from beneath the sea surface, striking the back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale on the spot!
"Waaaaah--!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale let out a mournful cry, its massive body trembling violently, and its blood instantly stained the surrounding seawater red.
Inside the mecha, after seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale being attacked by the floating corpses, Na'er was no longer afraid. Instead, she frowned and asked with a hint of confusion, "Brother, is that Soul Beast? How can it use weapons?"
"It's not Soul Beast." Xiao Chen stared intently at the ground below, his tone calm yet tinged with seriousness. "This isn't even a creature from the Douluo Continent."
Na'er was suddenly startled, and in an instant she remembered the matter that Gu Yue had discussed with her earlier— the Douluo Plane had been invaded by some Extraterrestrial Forces.
A large number of Extraterrestrial Creatures are continuously pouring into the Douluo Plane.
However, that's not the point.
The key question is, how did Xiao Chen find out?
Na'er couldn't help but ask, "Brother, how did you know?"
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "I saw a lot of things during the three years I was missing."
Na'er fell silent.
The secret realm her brother went to seems to be quite extraordinary...
Just as the two were speaking, another shrill scream came from below.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale was now surrounded by a dense horde of Drowned. Its massive body was covered in wounds and dripping with blood, and it had long lost the imposing presence it had displayed when it leaped out of the sea.
Seeing this, Na'er couldn't bear it and said, "This guy is too pitiful..."
Xiao Chen glanced down at the scene below, his tone indifferent. "It is indeed quite tragic."
However, at that moment, the weather in this sea area suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, howling and whipping up Skysea. Then, dark clouds filled the sky, and in an instant, torrential rain poured down, shrouding the entire sea area in a dark curtain of rain.
Large raindrops pounded on the sea, stirring up a white mist that drastically reduced visibility. Even the air was filled with an unsettling, oppressive atmosphere.
On the sea, a Drowned hurled a trident that emitted a purple light at the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
But at that very instant, a Drowned suddenly appeared out of thin air directly beneath Xiao Chen and Na'er's mecha, blocking the trident's path.
The trident, radiating purple light, struck the Drowned that had appeared out of nowhere in an instant!
The next second--
"Boom!"
A blinding bolt of lightning struck down from the sky without warning, hitting both of their mechs and the Drowned below in less than a zero-frame time!
Sparks flew, arcs of electricity leaped, and the fuselage trembled slightly from the impact.
Fortunately, the mere lightning bolt couldn't damage Xiao Chen's Black-rank Mecha.
But this did indeed anger Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's voice suddenly turned cold as he said, "Na'er, you control the mecha."
Na'er was taken aback, not quite understanding yet. "Huh? But I don't know how..."
However, before Na'er could finish speaking, Xiao Chen had already opened the hatch and flew out instantly!
The wind howled and the rain poured down.
Xiao Chen hovered in mid-air, letting the rain fall on him, his clothes fluttering in the wind, but his expression remained indifferent.
Then, a cold command arose from the depths of my heart -- /weatherclear.
The moment the command was given, the torrential rain across the entire sea area instantly stopped!
The dark clouds dispersed, the gale subsided, and the sky suddenly cleared. Bright sunlight once again shone on the sea, as if the torrential rain just moments before was nothing more than a fleeting dream.
At the same time, countless Drowned noticed Xiao Chen's presence and surged towards the sea below him from all directions.
A dense, overwhelming mass, blotting out the sun, containing many terrifying beings with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.
However, these Drowned were not even worth Xiao Chen's attention.
"No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants."
Xiao Chen spoke coldly, a hint of indifference that looked down upon all living beings flashing in his eyes.
In an instant, his Seventh Soul Skill was activated— Martial Soul Avatar, Wither Storm!
In the next instant, Xiao Chen transformed into the fourth stage of the Wither Storm. His enormous figure blotted out the sky and exuded a terrifying aura of Destruction, as if the entire world trembled at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the giant purple eye of the Wither Storm!
The beam swept across the sea, and wherever it passed, a large number of Drowned were sucked into it!
No matter how high the cultivation level of those Drowned was, they were all helplessly dragged to the edge of the Wither Storm under the pull of the beam of light, and were devoured in an instant without even a shred of resistance.
The entire sea area instantly transformed into a slaughterhouse exclusively for Xiao Chen.
Before long, Xiao Chen had devoured all the Drowned in this sea area, leaving none behind.
Then, the sea returned to calm, with only a few scattered tridents silently telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Xiao Chen then deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar, revealing his true form. He floated in mid-air with an indifferent expression, looking down at the sea below, which had returned to calm.
Sunlight streamed down, and the sea shimmered, as if the fierce battle that had just taken place had never happened.
After the battle, Xiao Chen spoke calmly, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion. "Like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating your own strength."
