195: Kraken

As for Wan Futu and the two monks from the West, who could exchange blows with Wang Wanli, in Lu Chen's hands, they would be easily killed, posing no threat to him at all.

However, in the direction of the Martial God Palace, there was another existence. In the eyes of the 'divine spirit' in Feng Jie's Divine Hall, he was truly dazzling, as if his whole being was radiating divine light. This wasn't reality, as the direction of the Martial God Palace didn't show any abnormality to the naked eye.

But in the 'divine spirit's' eyes, that Heavenly Pride of the Martial God Palace had polished his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and even magical power to a state of perfect harmony and flawlessness. He was also a Yang God Great Cultivator Heavenly Pride who cultivated both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement. His strength was absolutely incomparable to Wan Futu and Wang Wanli.

Feng Jie had seen this person when he used the Divine Hall's divine spirit to observe Wang Wanli. His name was Gai Qingfeng, and he was the undisputed number one person of the Martial God Palace in this era.

Wang Wanli was not convinced by him and was often beaten like a dog.

In addition, there was a person in the Dragon Elephant Institute. When viewed with the divine spirit's 'Heavenly Eye', he truly appeared like a dragon and an elephant coiled in the Void. His power was not obvious, but his divine brilliance was fully revealed, astonishingly so. He was definitely a monstrous existence who had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Institute's "Dragon Elephant Overlord Body" to an extremely high Realm.

His name was Wei Wenlong.

Finally, amidst the Buddhist light and Sanskrit sounds from the West, there was also a young monk. In the divine spirit's Heavenly Eye, he wasn't a monk, but a massive, closed-eyed Buddha. To Feng Jie, he seemed even more mysterious than Gai Qingfeng from the Martial God Palace and Wei Wenlong from the Dragon Elephant Institute.

His Buddhist name was Huixin, and he was the number one monk of the Dajue Temple in this era.

These three people were actually the most terrifying existences that should have been noticed, but they had no intention of making a move at this time.

Feng Jie's flickering gaze constantly shifted between Gai Qingfeng, Wei Wenlong, and Huixin, occasionally looking at Lu Chen, muttering mysteriously, "It seems the guy next to me is even more mysterious!"

Lu Chen didn't know what Feng Jie, the Godly Staff, was muttering about, and he had no interest in paying attention to him.

With nearly five hundred Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries in hand, obeying his command, Lu Chen had no time to bother with Feng Jie at this moment. His most important task was to lead these Heavenly Pride to do something productive.

Hearing that there were Deep Sea Giant Demons under the Jiyuan Sea, Lu Chen had already set his sights on these Deep Sea Giant Demons before he even arrived at the Jiyuan Sea.

These were top-grade Materials for nurturing Dao Soldiers.

"Boom!" The astonishing fluctuations continued unabated. Wang Wanli, Wan Futu, and the two monks from the West had already fought above the Jiyuan Sea, and they were fighting deeper and deeper.

In an instant, a massive creature suddenly rushed out of the water under the Jiyuan Sea. Just its head alone was comparable to a mountain.

It was a strange fish head, its mouth as large as an Abyssal chasm opening up, roaring as it swallowed towards Wan Futu and the monk Huiben, who had manifested the Arhat Golden Body and the heavenly Gang divine spirit.

"Boom!"

At the same instant, several massive strange fish also surged up from another direction, biting down towards Wang Wanli and the monk Huixin, who had manifested the Vajra Dharma Idol.

"You beasts, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Huixin unleashed the wrath of the Vajra. The Vajra Scepter, wreathed in Buddhist light in his hand, suddenly enlarged, like a pillar of heaven, and smashed down with a roar.

The Void was instantly shattered with a resounding boom, and the seawater below it instantly subsided. The seawater within a radius of tens of miles was completely pushed away, revealing the several massive strange fish completely. As demonic energy surged, they all rose with the demonic wind, cackling repeatedly while stirring up boundless waves that soared into the sky and collided with Huixin's Vajra Scepter.

"Boom!"

The great waves disintegrated, and one of the strange fish, even larger than a mountain, had its head smashed and fell into the sea. The remaining strange fish cried out and dove into the sea, beginning to devour and tear at the dead strange fish with large mouths.

"Low-intellect beasts, seeking death." Huiben also attacked at the same time, his Zen staff rotating, unleashing a monstrous Buddhist seal that killed the attacking strange fish on the spot.

'How come these Buddhist monks seem to have a greater killing intent than those Sword Cultivators!' Lu Chen watched, clicking his tongue in wonder.

The Buddhist sect in this world was completely unlike the monks in temples in his previous life, who were compassionate. They seemed to believe more in the idea that power creates miracles, each one fiercer and more savage than the last.

But that was also true. After all, this was a cultivation world. The compassionate approach was simply unworkable. Everything still depended on strength.

In addition, the Deep Sea Giant Demons under the Jiyuan Sea also seemed abnormal. They looked more like foolish beings who only knew slaughter and bloodthirst. Their intelligence should not be high, and they were very different from normal demonic creatures.

Furthermore, these two monks were truly wasting heavenly resources!

Two demonic creatures comparable to the Peak of the Dao Embryo Realm, and such massive ones at that, were completely wasted by these two monks.

It made Lu Chen's heart ache to watch.

"Go." Lu Chen no longer hesitated, waving his hand.

The Heavenly Pride of the Southern Countries understood and went straight to the Jiyuan Sea.

The Martial God Palace and Dragon Elephant Institute from the Eastern Region, as well as many Heavenly Pride from major sects, and the Buddhist monks from the West, all moved towards the Jiyuan Sea in unison, far ahead of Lu Chen and the Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries.

However, from beginning to end, neither the various Heavenly Pride from the Eastern Region's Martial God Palace and Dragon Elephant Institute, nor the Buddhist monks from the West, ever gave them from the South a second glance.

It was unclear whether they looked down on them or if their eyes were only on each other.

Since no one came looking for trouble, Lu Chen was naturally happy, and the Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries, who had already been suppressed by the strength of the Martial God Palace, Dragon Elephant Institute, and the Dajue Temple in the West, were even happier.

But what made Lu Chen worried was that with Wan Futu, Wang Wanli, and the two Heavenly Pride from the West, Huixin and Huiben, fighting and clearing the way, the Deep Sea Giant Demons under the Jiyuan Sea also seemed to have quieted down, rarely showing their heads.

Even if one occasionally showed its head, it was easily killed by the Martial God Palace, Dragon Elephant Institute, and the monks from the West who were walking ahead of them.

"The Deep Sea Giant Demons of the Jiyuan Sea are naturally bloodthirsty. When they see other living beings, especially Human Race cultivators, they cannot suppress their bloodthirsty nature and often ignore the disparity in strength, choosing to attack, which looks not much different from seeking death." The Godly Staff Feng Jie explained to Lu Chen, "Some people speculate that it is because the physical bodies of these Deep Sea Giant Demons are naturally too powerful, but their Divine Souls are too weak. When the Divine Soul cannot fully control their strength, they fall into the Demonic Path and become bloodthirsty demonic creatures."

He paused, "This explanation is actually not very reasonable, but there's no need to delve into it. In addition, occasionally, there will be anomalies among these Deep Sea Giant Demons whose Divine Souls and physical bodies are equally powerful. Their strength is not inferior to the Heavenly Pride with Human Race Companion Spirit Treasures, and they will not be controlled by their bloodthirsty nature. But if they are just those naturally bloodthirsty giant demons, their Divine Souls are actually their fatal flaw."

Lu Chen listened very carefully, and a thought emerged in his mind.

Indeed, there was something wrong with these Deep Sea Giant Demons. Their intelligence was low, and they were bloodthirsty.

But Lu Chen liked this problem very much.

Because, under this deep sea, it was the home ground of these giant demons, but at the same time, it was also the home ground of his Dao Soldiers.

"I'm going to step away for a moment, don't make a sound." Silently, Lu Chen merged into the Void and escaped into the deep sea.

Then, one after another, Five Elements Dao Soldiers comparable to the Dao Embryo Realm, and Divine Travel Dao Soldiers comparable to the Yin God, were placed into the deep sea by him.

Dao Soldiers controlled the Five Elements, including the Water Element. Under this deep sea, the Dao Soldiers would also be more powerful.

A full three hundred Dao Soldiers spread out, beginning to either forcefully drive or lure those low-intellect giant demons towards the sea surface.

For a time, the Martial God Palace, Dragon Elephant Institute, and the Western monks, who had been unimpeded, and even the Heavenly Pride from the Southern Countries, were all startled: "These giant demons under the Jiyuan Sea have gone mad!"

Lu Chen, who had quietly returned to the Divine Hall, smiled knowingly: "This is the correct way to hunt demons!"

All the Heavenly Pride present, at this moment, would become his laborers, helping him hunt these Deep Sea Giant Demons!

As for whether these Deep Sea Giant Demons were willing, that was not up to them; his Dao Soldiers would drive them.

And there was no question of willingness for the Heavenly Pride from the Eastern Region, the Western Region, and even his own Southern Region, because the Deep Sea Giant Demons...

Had gone mad!
