Chapter 188: Crisis Arrives, the Terrifying Beasts from the Star Dou Forest Awaken?
Ye Wen possessed the reward to create a divine realm, though he hadn't acquired it yet.
But once he had the ability to create a divine realm, those Title Douluo-level soul masters would be eligible to break through to divinity, or rather, Ye Wen would be able to create opportunities and chances for them to achieve godhood.
After all, in the future, Ye Wen planned to challenge the current Douluo Divine Realm, and perhaps even wage a battle against the gods of the Douluo Divine Realm. If it were just him and the soul beast group, they would be too weak.
In addition, the human forces surrounding him, such as Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er, were still not enough.
The Douluo Divine Realm had five great gods, eighteen main gods, or level one gods, and more than two hundred second-level gods.
There were also more than eighteen hundred third-level gods, plus thousands of hundred-level ordinary divine officers. The sheer number of gods was overwhelming.
Such a powerful Douluo Divine Realm couldn't possibly be challenged by just the soul beasts Ye Wen had raised and the humans around him, even if he absorbed them into his future divine realm. Their power would still be far too little to rival or negotiate with the Douluo Divine Realm.
Therefore, Ye Wen had this vision in mind: to absorb all the soul masters who could potentially become gods into his future divine realm.
Once Ye Wen's divine realm was established, he could quickly raise a large number of gods! With a massive army of divine subordinates, of course, this would only be possible if these people were willing to submit to Ye Wen and obey him.
"Ah, after you Spirit Hall's elders and Pope Bibi Dong, there's no one left to fight. It's getting boring now. Farewell, everyone."
Ye Wen's challenge against the Title Douluo masters of Spirit Hall ended here. He wouldn't be returning to the Pope's Hall for a while.
He left the hall.
Looking at Ye Wen's retreating figure, Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, "This guy, he really mastered one of the Haotian Clan's three ultimate skills, the Great Exquisite Hammer, as well as that explosive ring."
"It seems he destroyed the Haotian Clan to gain control of their ultimate skills. Hmph, Deep Sea Magic Whale King Ye Wen, you won't be arrogant for long. In no more than ten years, once I become a god, I will settle the score with you."
"Wait for it."
Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze and vanished in the next moment.
"Not bad, not bad. After the battles with Juju, Ghost, Magic Bear, and Ghost Leopard, my combat understanding in human form has deepened even more." Ye Wen returned to the Star Dou Forest with a bright mood.
As usual, he headed straight for the Lake of Life to continue his closed-door training.
However, today, the Lake of Life was completely different from usual.
There were obvious signs of intense battle, and such damage could only be made by Title Douluo-level fighters. No one else could cause this level of destruction and noise.
"What's going on?!" Ye Wen's face changed suddenly as a bad premonition rose in his heart. "What happened? Where are Xiao Bai, Xue Di, Da Ming, Er Ming, Bing Er, and the others?"
"Hey!! Xiao Bai, Xue Di, Bing Er!"
Ye Wen quickly scanned the surroundings, shouting their names as he used his spiritual power to scan for traces, but there was no sign of them at all.
"What happened? Could it be..." Ye Wen thought, and his face suddenly changed. It seemed like he had realized something.
Only a few possibilities could explain such large-scale battles within the Lake of Life and among Ye Wen's soul beasts. One, internal conflict among the soul beasts, but that was nearly impossible since they were all close partners.
Aside from internal conflict, the only ones who dared to invade the Lake of Life and fight with them were people from Sea God Island or Spirit Hall.
But Sea God Island couldn't have left the island and suddenly attacked here, right?
Since he had just returned from Spirit Hall, he knew that Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were still at the Pope's Hall, so it couldn't have been Spirit Hall.
That left only one possibility: that group of soul beasts, led by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian and other terrifying beasts!
"Did they wake up on their own? Or could it be... that it was Gu Yue who appeared?" Ye Wen's face shifted between various emotions. Di Tian or Gu Yue — these two outcomes would make a huge difference.
"Stop looking! The Deep Sea Magic Whale King is in my hands. If you want them to live, come and find me!"
At that moment, a voice echoed in Ye Wen's ear, sent through soul power transmission.
The direction came from even deeper than the Lake of Life.
Ye Wen's eyes hardened, clenched his fists, and in the next second, he instantly vanished, rushing toward the source of the voice.
"No matter who you are! If anything happens to any one of them, I will kill you!" Ye Wen's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
He quickly ran through the forest, and in about ten minutes, he stopped, standing on a massive grassy field.
Ye Wen had finally seen his group of companions.
"Boss!!!"
"Ye Wen!!!"
At this moment, Xue Di, Bing Di, Xiao Bai, Xie Hu, Da Ming, Er Ming, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er were all injured to varying degrees, but none of them appeared to be severely wounded, just temporarily drained of their powers.
It seemed that their injuries weren't critical.
They were all pressed to the ground, their movements restricted by strange, tangled tree roots, unable to move.
"You..." Seeing his companions in such a dire state, Ye Wen immediately became furious. He rushed to break the tree vines off their bodies and rescue them.
"Boss! Don't come over! It's a trap!!" Xie Hu yelled urgently.
But it was already too late. Countless tree vines over a hundred meters in radius suddenly shot up from the ground.
The vines immediately wrapped tightly around Ye Wen's body, trapping and restraining him.
"Hahahaha! You were so careless, Deep Sea Magic Whale King! You fell right into my trap, bound by my Thousand Trees, unable to move!"
A strange, piercing, and harsh sound echoed, as if coming from deep beneath Ye Wen's feet.
Ye Wen's face remained cold; how could he not sense the ambush? His spiritual power had always been on high alert!
He had already noticed that there was a terrifying creature lurking underground!
"Heh, you think you can trap me with these weaklings?" Ye Wen's voice turned icy, and in the next second, he switched to his soul beast form.
"Roar!!"
The terrifying body of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, over two hundred meters in size, directly shattered the tree vines and appeared on the massive grassy field.
He easily broke free from the restraints.
"Whatever is beneath, you! Come out now!!"
