Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 470 Peru's True Strength!
Peru's voice disappeared into the raging storm.

Five minutes later, Devil's Island, Redstone Town.

Black boots waded through the seawater and through the torrential rain to reach this nearly deserted island.

This island was once a site for mining redstone, but with the arrival of the Rift Tide, it quickly became deserted.

I looked up when I woke up.

The broken copper dome at the top of the tower swayed in the sea breeze, and the lights flickered, casting eerie spots of light on the leaden clouds.

Due to the collapse of the C-order Rainstorm Rift, the island is constantly shrouded in torrential rain.

It was as if no one had ever existed on this lighthouse.

"Peru!"

Chen Qi shouted loudly.

However, no matter how he used his spiritual power to detect, he was unable to find Peru.

At this moment, Fen and An arrived late, panting heavily.

Their physical strength is far inferior to Chen Qi's.

Fen, supporting herself on her knees, gasped for breath, sweat mingling with the downpour.
"Huff... Hah... Huff... Qi, any news?"

Chen Qi, carrying a daytime lantern, sighed:

"It disappeared again."

"Pellu and Water Sprite No. 1 have also disappeared without a trace."

The Beast of Ember can appear suddenly and disappear suddenly.

In the end, Peilu couldn't hold on any longer... Chen Qi slowly stepped from the shore onto the sea and casually tossed down an extraordinary bait.

thump!
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shriek came from behind him!

"Help! Open! Open!"

Chen Qi turned around.

The enormous fog, like thick smoke, rapidly enveloped him, Fen, and An.

"Help!!"

A shrill face emerged from the mist, but in the next instant, a tentacle wrapped around her slender arm!
"Peru!!"

An's eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, Pelú is still alive.

However, in the next instant, the azure burning tentacles pulled the terrified Peru back and completely disappeared into the thick fog.

Before the Beast of Ember, Peru was like an ant, completely at its mercy!
However, compared to most ferocious sea monsters, the Ember Beast prefers 'collecting'—

From within the thick fog, ancient, profound whispers could be heard.

Even Anhefen could understand this ancient whisper at this moment:

"Your Majesty!"

Five burning, deep blue tentacles pierced through layers of mist, like two high-speed spears, aiming for Finn and Ann—

So powerful… An’s eyes were covered by deep blue tentacles, and her little hands trembled uncontrollably.

This sea monster, hidden behind the thick fog, makes one tremble violently just by sensing its aura.

Fen's face turned pale with fright, and she deliberately suppressed her breathing, like a frightened little animal.

tension!

fear!

terrible!
Weak!

"finally……"

Chen Qi stood on the sea, a smile playing on his lips.

The Beast of Ember has finally appeared!

Blade and energy merge into one. Spiritual power bursts forth!

Without hesitation, Chen Qi unleashed his own spiritual energy field.

The storm whipped Fen and Ann's hair and clothes, forcibly pushing back the two tentacles.

The mist was instantly dispelled by the blazing spiritual energy, and the sea beast hidden in the huge mist finally revealed its true form.

The tentacles intertwined and overlapped beneath the enormous flames, resembling the graceful body of an elegant person!

The chief reporter of the White Dove newspaper, along with her large white dove, was placed on her chest like a small doll.

Extremely elegant.

"The Beast of Lingering Flame..."

Ann's throat moved slightly, her neck taut into a fragile arc.

She seriously misjudged the Ember Beast.

She originally thought that the Ember Beast was a giant Titan similar to the Titan Twelve Tentacles or the Great Forest, with extremely high health and strength.

However, in terms of both speed and domain, they are no match for a fifth-tier transcendent being.

However, at this moment, Ann even felt that the Beast of Ember was superior to her teacher, the Saint of Books, Aslina!
This did not come from its strength or enormous size, but from its mystique.

This is no longer a deep-sea Titan, but a creature of another level, a far more powerful being.

Just like the ancient deep-sea gods in ocean legends.

"call……"

The beast of embers bent its body, and its blazing head, like a tiny star, fell before them.

It opened at dawn and stretched out its right hand!

"Nice to meet you, Beast of Ember."

Chen Qi pulled out the flesh from his waist and cut it into bones.

Inhale——

The Beast of Lingering Fire took a deep breath, and the burning flames gradually turned from orange-red to a light pink!
The Beast of Ember learned human language and murmured to itself:

"You are just like...me..."

"No...you are more...noble...noble than me!"

Chen Qi gripped the hilt of the knife, but did not launch an attack immediately.

The Beast of Ember could sense his deep-sea affinity.

Currently, the Ember Beast is probably the highest-ranking deep-sea beast he has ever seen.

This is something that can be negotiated... An Yixi.

However, in the next instant, the Ember Beast raised its head, its massive body looking down at Chen Qi from above.

It said excitedly:

“Your aura…is noble…but…you…are weak…weak…unworthy of this aura…”

"Not good enough..."

"If...if..."

"If I can conquer you! Assimilate you!"

"I...can then become...the...god of the sea!"

The eyes of the Ember Beast rolled.

This is its first appearance on the high seas, where it has displayed formidable aggression.

Huh? Chen Qi was startled.

He hadn't expected that the Ember Beast's goal was to assimilate him.

The Dream Beast once had similar thoughts, but it was nowhere near as forceful as the Ember Beast.

Is this the sea monster with ancient blood that defeated the deep-sea hunters?
Chen Qi held the rifted blade across his chest.

clang!
Hundreds of 30-meter-long, blazing tentacles came crashing down, attempting to bind Chen Qi, and then, little by little, using its power, assimilate him into a part of Chen Qi.

Blade and energy unite. Howl!
Chen Qi drew his sword and slashed; in an instant, a surging wave of blade energy swept through like a tsunami, severing the hundreds of tentacles—

However, in the next instant!

The beast of embers vanished instantly, only to reappear behind him just as quickly.

Instantaneous teleportation using the ability to traverse rifts!
A voice rang out once more from that ancient flame:

"We merge!"

"We are intertwined!"

"We control!"

A dazzling light shimmered in the storm!
You have been mentally controlled by the Ember Beast!

You've become immune to this!

Chen Qi parried again with his sword.

However, he was still a step behind.

A burning tentacle pierced his shoulder.

Pink flames quickly erupted from the tip of that tentacle.

Blood splatters!

Chen Qi's eyes widened.

In that instant, the speed of the Ember Beast tripled.

You are being corrupted by the lamps of the Beast of Ember—

You've become immune to this pollution, but your mental resistance has decreased!

The embers burst forth, a crimson glow, open!

Burning crimson tentacles emerged from behind Chen Qi, pulling the burning tentacles and flesh from his shoulder.

"Huff... Huff..." Chen Qi's body was soaked in blood.

The Beast of Ember truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest sea beast known in the ocean.

His speed and strength far exceed his normal level.

However, this is on the premise that he has not initiated liberation.

The flames of the Ember Beast burn:
"continue……"

clang!clang!clang!
Chen Qi's figure on the sea transformed into a blood-red shooting star.

Fen and An stared wide-eyed.

The Dawn, which ignites the embers of its flames, resembles a colossal beast due to its twenty-meter-long tentacles.

However, unlike the slowness of typical behemoths.

The speed between the two is far beyond imagination!

Under the torrential rain, the two sides clashed like two roaring thunderbolts in just five seconds, exchanging a thousand blows between blades and tentacles!

The entire port of Red Stone Island was reduced to dust in an instant.

"call……"

An hugged Fen and quickly retreated, moving away from the battlefield.

clang--

The battle between the two sides has entered its final stage!
Chen Qi gathered his blade energy and unleashed a crimson crescent moon, cleaving across the sea.

Crimson Moon!

The blades slashed past, collided, and stirred up hundreds of waves!
Subsequently, both sides ceased their attacks.

So powerful... An watched this scene.

The beautiful body of the Fire Beast, which was a hundred meters tall, was riddled with holes after its hundred tentacles were severed.

Even the flames that symbolized the burning of life became incredibly weak.

Without a doubt, Chenqi is superior in both strength and speed.

However… An swallowed a mouthful of water.

Judging from the outcome of the battle, it was clearly a decisive victory for Chen Qi.

It could even be described as a complete and utter crushing defeat.

But at this moment, she felt absolutely no joy of victory!

The power of the Ember Beast is like a black hole, with no bottom in sight.

Chen Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:

"What's wrong? Don't want to continue?"

The Ember Beast lowered its head, and its tentacles gently clamped down on Peru's head.

It raised its head high, then lowered its head:
"You... are no match for me..."

"I cannot conquer you...and you...cannot conquer me..."

"Human... if... you submit to me... let us intertwine, and I will grant you... new power..."

After saying that, the Flame Beast gripped Peru's head tightly.

"Qi! I think I'm going to die too!"

"For me, send out my press release... Don't forget to include my name..."

"And one more thing! Qi, don't forget to tell Lilith, who ran away to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom out of fear of you, that I am the chief... reporter!"

With fear in her eyes, Peluru took out the soaking wet press release she was holding.

Although the death of the chief reporter was quite explosive news.

But at this moment, all that remained in Peru's eyes were tears and endless fear.

Chen Qi gripped the blade tightly, recalling the records of the deep-sea hunters.

At first, the Deep Sea Hunters also thought that the Ember Beast was a simple sea monster.

But in the end, the difficulty of the Ember Beast kept increasing.

Ultimately, it became the highest level of 'brain-teasing' difficulty, and even the Deep Sea Hunter was defeated by the Ember Beast!

This is the ultimate BOSS at the peak of the fifth tier... Chen Qi took a deep breath.

The burning head of the Ember Beast was placed beside Peru, and it whispered in an aged language:
"You...go...take care of...him..."

Peru paused for a moment.

The Beast of Ember did not absorb her power!

It wants her to fight Chen Qi!
"I'm fighting the Black Hunter?"

However, in the next instant, Peru felt her spiritual energy field surge and surge!
It's not impossible for her to take down the Black Hunter!
Peak of Tier 3!

Fourth-order initial!

Peak of the fourth tier!

Peru lowered her head, looking at her glowing body, as memories of the past flooded back.

She was originally a fourth-order transcendent being from the Lighthouse.

At the same time, he was also chosen within the White Tower to become an Edge Hunter who detects the Edge World.

However, during her adventure in the edge world, she unfortunately encountered the Lamp Beast that covered the entire gray sky, and her body suffered a permanent 'Lamp Curiosity' mutation.

This anomaly kept her spiritual energy field suppressed to the first level, while simultaneously generating a strong sense of curiosity and adventure.

She would die if she could not satisfy her thirst for curiosity and adventure.

This is also why her physical strength is comparable to that of a legend, but her spiritual power is only at the first level.

However, in that very instant, Peru felt the 'curiosity of the lamp' distortion that had plagued her for three years disappear.

If it weren't for the distortion caused by the lamp's curiosity...

She will not become a journalist, nor will she constantly court death, and she will never come to Moonstone City!
Without the distortion of the light, she devoted herself to studying and cultivating her own power, constantly growing stronger—

Become stronger!

And eventually, he went from a fourth-level professional photographer specializing in lighting to a fifth-level professional 'world journalist' specializing in pure lighting!
The possibility of becoming a fifth-order saint!
"call!"

Peru's short hair grew longer and longer, her eyes flashing with a star-like embers, as she gripped the forbidden rift at her waist.

The beast of lingering fire smiled slightly and said:

"Go, Peroo, kill him..."

"!!!"

Chen Qi watched this scene from a distance.

The Ember Beast unexpectedly activated the hidden abilities of the boss, Peru!
Under the control of the Ember Beast, Peru's bright eyes were completely covered by cold flames, making her look like a killing machine.

"Ok."

She pointed the White Tower camera at Chen Qi, Fen, and An.

"The Realm of Light. Everything I record is true!"

Chen Qi immediately sped up.

A special profession in the White Tower Federation: Journalist!
This profession is quite powerful.

It is a super-evolved profession of messenger, and it has three core abilities.

First, the ability to attract major events; she herself is constantly drawn to major events.

Secondly, its unparalleled escape ability allows it to move instantly, completing a movement of tens of thousands of meters from its anchor point.

Thirdly, and most terrifyingly, it can record all the major events it reports on and ultimately materialize those events!
This is also the most terrifying field for journalists!

Peru, like a manipulated puppet, muttered softly:

"On February 17th, in the White Tower Federation, in the City of Lantern Moon, the A-rank rift magic network collapsed, causing a knowledge vortex to descend, affecting one fifth-rank individual, twenty fourth-rank individuals, and 2 residents of Lantern Moon City..."

Click!

Pelouch pulled the shutter button on her camera.

The sky seemed to shatter like glass, and the world underwent a dramatic change.

The ground at dawn instantly transformed into a massive magical net, revealing crumbling city-states before them, as tens of thousands fled in agony—

"Oops!"

"Domain. Open!"

Chen Qi drank a bottle of Fen's potion, used all his strength, and rushed to Pei Lu like a scarlet lightning bolt.

If this area were to expand, the consequences would be unimaginable!
A domain can fight against a domain!

The sea is churning!

Fortunately, the person in front of me, Peilu, is not a true fifth-order superhuman, and she is not proficient enough in the domain!

Her field has not yet fully unfolded!

In addition, the Rift Blade itself also has a destructive effect on the field.

quick! Faster!

clang!
With a single strike, Chen Qi severed Pei Lu's hands, along with the camera she was holding.

boom!
Peru's domain shattered, and the entire world returned to reality.

The blade flashed—

The torrential rain pelted everyone's faces.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Chen Qi's chest heaved as he exhaled hot breath, then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the beast of lingering fire.

As the Beast of Lingering Fire watched Chen Qi's actions, it exhaled continuously, and its flames completely transformed into an excited pink!

It felt that the taste of the morning dew was becoming more and more luxurious and more and more delicious!
Meanwhile, its tentacles were constantly tearing apart its enormous body, striking alluring poses.

A huge crack suddenly appeared on its body!
