Chapter 417 The Four Uncrowned Divine Beasts! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Three days later, after resolving matters in the far north, Chen Hong left the Ice God Mountains and successfully met the Sea Orca King in the nearby Ice Sea.

"The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with a super-long lifespan." Above the icy sea, Chen Hong stood atop the Sea Orca King, watching the rapidly receding glacier mountains behind him, and murmured unconsciously. His thoughts involuntarily returned to the time three days ago when he communicated with the Ice and Snow Emperors.

Chen Hong learned this astonishing news from the Ice Emperor: the super soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Moreover, when the Ice Emperor first saw the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm ten thousand years ago, that creature's age might have already exceeded seven hundred thousand years. In other words, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, without making a sound, successfully transformed into the 'Uncrowned Divine Beast' in the new Soul Beast Studies.

Uncrowned Divine Beasts: These are divine beasts whose soul power and soul quality have reached limits that mortals cannot achieve. They have transcended the mortal realm to become gods, but have not undergone the baptism of the laws of the divine realm. Because their souls and soul power cannot be deified, they are called uncrowned because they are not recognized by authority and laws.

Unfortunately, Chen Hong originally wanted to get to know the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a special soul beast modified by the ancient soul pattern civilization, but unfortunately, the Ice Emperor said that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had fallen into the icy sea and had been missing for a long time.

"What are you thinking about, sir?" The Sea Orca King beneath Chen Hong's feet seemed to sense Chen Hong's emotions and spoke through its mental power.

"My lord," this is how the Orca King, whose cultivation level is approaching 500,000, addresses Chen Hong. Because Poseidon, a god who "seems like yesterday," was born in the ocean more than two thousand years ago, the attitude of sea spirit beasts like the Orca King towards Chen Hong is significantly different from that of land spirit beasts.

In the eyes of the Orca King, Chen Hong was destined to become a god, so showing him some respect was not a big mistake.

King Orca: What goes around comes around! Didn't expect that, did you, Little White? This time it's our orca's turn! Hehehe!

For beasts like Ice Emperor, the Angel God was something from ten thousand years ago, but for sea spirit beasts like Orca King, the Sea God Poseidon was like yesterday.

"By the way, King Orca, have you heard of any Ice Silkworm with a very high cultivation level falling into the sea in the last ten thousand years?" Chen Hong withdrew his gaze from the distant Ice God Mountain Range and looked down at the King Orca.

"Ice Silkworm?" The Sea Orca King was puzzled, its large head filled with questions.

"I haven't heard of it, but there's some news that might be helpful to you, adults."

"Hmm? What news?" Chen Hong asked curiously.

The Sea Orca King pondered for a moment, then replied, "In the past ten thousand years, there have only been two events that can be considered truly significant. One is Poseidon's ascension to godhood, and the other is that the Soul Beast King of the Sun and Moon Continent crossed the sea, landed on the Douluo Continent, and was subsequently repelled."

The name "Sun and Moon Continent" appeared in Chen Hong's ears once again. This was the third or fourth time he had heard news of this continent located in the west of Douluo Continent.

However, the Tech Chamber of Commerce's influence still needs some time to develop, and the Sea Soul Fleet's expansion also requires time; there are no immediate plans to explore the Sun Moon Continent. Nevertheless, based on the Tech Chamber of Commerce's development trend, the Sea Soul Fleet should launch an exploration of the Sun Moon Continent within the next three years.

"That Soul Beast King of the Sun and Moon Continent is named Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. He is an even more powerful beast than the Ice and Snow Emperor. According to the Technology Chamber of Commerce, he is an uncrowned divine beast." Ever since the Sea-Whale King regained his senses, he has been very curious about the knowledge of the Technology Chamber of Commerce. Under the influence of what he has seen and heard, he has also learned a lot of new vocabulary.

"A strange beast?" However, what surprised Chen Hong the most was the word "strange beast" from the orca king.

The Sea Orca King explained, "The appearance and aura of the Evil Eye Tyrant are different from those of normal soul beasts. Other land soul beasts might not be very sensitive to this, but ocean soul beasts are too familiar with the aura of the Evil Eye Tyrant, as familiar as when facing the uncrowned god of the deep sea."

"Hmm?" Chen Hong was even more puzzled. How did this get back to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?

"Deep in the ocean lies a bottomless abyss trench, the core territory of the Demon Whale King. The ocean spirit beasts have always suspected that the Demon Whale King emerged from beneath this trench, but almost all the ferocious ocean beasts who knew the truth were devoured by the Demon Whale King, and the matter was left unresolved. However, one thing is worth noting: the spirit beasts that initially lived in or near the deep sea were somewhat mentally unstable, while those in the shallow sea were much more mentally sound. I didn't pay attention before, but now that I've come to my senses, I suspect there must be something at the bottom of the abyss trench that can interfere with their minds." The Orca King, carrying Chen Hong, sailed rapidly across the icy sea and explained the information he had discovered recently.

"Of course, there's also the possibility that there might be something like a barrier there. We believe that the Evil Eye Tyrant is not a beast from this world, and we also suspect that the Demon Whale King is the same kind of beast. However, this is just speculation. To find out, we must ask the Demon Whale King himself."

At this point, the Orca King paused slightly before continuing, "Currently, all the major marine species, except for the Demon Soul Great White Shark, have been won over by Your Majesty's Sage's Pearl and are rapidly expanding into remote waters. Before long, we may have to confront the Demon Whale King head-on."

The Sage's Pearl is a modified version of the Sage Module, with the same effect but a different appearance. While the Sage Module is suitable for large-scale soul beasts like the Orca, it was actually a product of Chen Hong's technological accumulation for future modularization of divine runes; the Orca simply happened to use it. However, later, due to the Orca King's request, Chen Hong still took some time to specially create the Sage's Pearl, suitable for most soul beasts, making them all Golden Core cultivators.

If we follow this logic, wouldn't creating a bone spirit by having a living soul beast separate a portion of its soul into its body be equivalent to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Wow~ It really is terrifying!

The Philosopher's Crown, the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Pearl, and the Philosopher's Module—Chen Hong's dream of "letting the brilliance of the sages illuminate the world" seems to be getting closer and closer.

"I see. We'll talk about the Demon Whale King later. I have a feeling that we'll run into Him soon, and then all our doubts will be resolved."

"Let's get back to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. I've pretty much figured out where it is."

Chen Hong looked up at the center of the Douluo Continent, and seemed to hear the voice of the ancient Ice and Snow Clan Chief:

"Starry Sky. Black Dragon Prince."
