440: Chapter 440 Demon Emperor

"Hmm?"

"Human, do you know me?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's originally playful expression turned to surprise.

He looked the human up and down.

Something seemed slightly off.

This human's aura was much steadier than the average Spirit Master.

There was also a strong sense of evil, yet mixed within that evil was a pure power of kindness.

Su Wen's expression twitched.

He had only been guessing, suspecting.

He hadn't expected it to actually be the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This nine-hundred-ninety-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast, by all logic, should not have left the ocean.

Xue Qinghe slowly stood up: "Su Wen... you know him?"

"How did you provoke him?"

Su Wen's expression was grave.

A Spirit Beast over five hundred thousand years old already possesses strength equivalent to a super Douluo.

For a Spirit Beast of this nine-hundred-ninety-thousand-year caliber, its strength has already reached the semi-god level, or perhaps even approaching quasi-god.

He also possesses the Dual Whale Pearls, which are Yin and Yang complementary dual Spirit cores.

On the ocean, even the invincible-at-sea Bo Saixi is no match for him; she requires the power of the Sea God to drive him away.

Even now that he is on land and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has lost the advantage of the ocean, his strength cannot be underestimated.

"I didn't provoke him..."

"He came together with Xue Xing."

"I didn't know he would be this strong."

Xue Qinghe's expression was not good either.

She looked at Su Wen and said anxiously: "Don't you know those Vicious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? That one named Bi Ji... is this their friend?"

Su Wen was surprised; he was with Prince Xue Xing, and Prince Xue Xing was involved with Sea God Island.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had a grudge against Sea God Island.

Logically, it was impossible for them to join forces.

Even if the Sea God himself were to descend, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's personality would never allow him to cooperate with them.

Unless there was a massive benefit involved.

The greatest temptation for a Spirit Beast is to become a god.

This...

Su Wen swallowed hard. Ah Yin said there were two; could the other one be the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife?

"Why so slow? A mere few humans..."

A cold yet enchanting voice drifted over. She had a beautiful face, appearing as a stunning woman in her thirties, her figure shrouded in a large black cloak, her hands covered in purple demonic patterns.

Her appearance made everyone nearby feel a wave of pressure. Beans of sweat broke out on the foreheads of the palace guards, and their hands gripping their weapons trembled uncontrollably.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Empress appeared simultaneously.

Su Wen couldn't help but feel nervous. Two thousand years later, the Demon Empress would possess Divine-Grade power.

As she was now, although she hadn't yet touched that Domain, she was at least a five-hundred-thousand-year Soul Power level, or perhaps even six hundred thousand, definitely a super Douluo.

Furthermore, this couple was not in the same group as Di Tian and the others.

Even bringing up the name of the Beast God might not be effective.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice betrayed no emotion: "This human actually recognizes me... and even knows about... Bi Ji of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Hmm?"

The Demon Empress's gaze immediately fell on Su Wen. Sensing the scent of evil on him, the corners of her rosy lips curled slightly: "Human, what is your name?"

"...Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Su Wen. I wonder why the two of you have come to Heaven Dou City?"

Su Wen took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his tone steady.

"Su Wen... so you are the special human that person spoke of."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth curled into a smile: "I didn't expect to find you without any effort; it was so easy for us to locate you."

Su Wen's eyelids twitched wildly; he had a very bad feeling.

They were here looking for him?

It was definitely not a good thing.

Su Wen asked: "The Sea God?"

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, if I am not mistaken, you and Sea God Island are not on good terms. You are actually willing to do things for the Sea God?"

Upon hearing the Sea God's name, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was visibly enraged. His Soul Power began to circulate automatically, and everyone around instantly felt a wave of pressure, like an invisible hand gripping everyone's throat, making them feel a suffocating threat of death.

The Demon Empress reached out, stopping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who was about to fly into a rage.

The Demon Empress looked at Su Wen and laughed, her laugh somewhat enchanting: "The Sea God... we certainly wouldn't listen to him. But the fact that you could guess the Sea God and also know about us—you are indeed somewhat different. I now understand a bit why the other party wants to kill you."

"Su Wen, it seems they really are looking for you..." Xue Qinghe didn't pretend anymore at this moment and asked directly: "Which Elder did you bring?"

"No Elder." Su Wen appeared calm on the surface, but his heart began to race.

Whoever could command the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and his wife must absolutely be a god.

"Then we're done for... Su Wen, we can't both die here."

Xue Qinghe said seriously: "In a moment, I'll leave this place to you. If I try to run, they should only focus on you and not me."

Su Wen's mouth twitched, and he gave her a look as if she were an idiot.

Their appearance here must have some connection to Sea God Island; there must be some deal between them. Prince Xue Xing was clearly aiming for the throne; no one was getting away.

Su Wen completely ignored Xue Qinghe and searched his mind for a solution.

He definitely couldn't win a fight, so he had to approach it from another angle.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's greatest wish was to become a god, so he would cast this bait.

"I would like to ask, who could actually manage to hire the two of you to kill me?"

"You two are, after all, overlord-level existences who dominate the ocean."

The Demon Empress's rosy lips curled slightly; she didn't speak, merely raising her hand.

Bolts of lightning gathered in her palm.

Clearly, she no longer wanted to waste words.

"Heh, then I guessed correctly. They must have promised the two of you that you would become gods, but I see a trace of fear in your eyes, which means you two are not convinced by him, nor do you fully trust him. How about this: let's cooperate, and I will help you become gods."

Su Wen switched his Spirit to his second Spirit.

The form produced by the circulation of his Soul Power around him changed from dark red to pure white light.

The form of the Goddess of Kindness appeared on his forehead.

"Human, you are actually a successor of a Divinity..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Empress revealed expressions of shock.

Xue Qinghe also looked at Su Wen in surprise.

She never expected him to be so good at hiding things.

Su Wen continued to entice them: "How about it? I am destined to become a god. Compared to that person you speak of, I should be more worthy of your trust."

"Of course, if you don't believe me, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you can monitor me the entire time, provided that I and the Demon Empress complete a contract. She will then possess the qualifications to become a god. I can swear by my Spirit that when I become a god, the Demon Empress can also become a god."

"Finally... *cough*, as long as the Demon Empress is willing, she can completely bring you, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, up to the Divine Realm."

"This way, both of you can become gods."

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, how do you think this proposal of mine compares to that person you speak of? After all, if I have any suspicious intentions, before I become a god, you have the full ability to kill me."
