God of Pets

Chapter 601 The soul leaves the body
"Give it to me." Chen Guan said without wasting any words, staring at the golden cauldron in front of the River God.

"Just as you said, this generation is no longer the generation of the Great Xia King, nor is it the world of the Xia family. We only ask to exchange for the bloodline of the Great Xia King so that we can survive in this world." Hebo held the golden cauldron in front of Chen Guan with both hands and said sadly.

Chen Guan looked past the golden cauldron and at the River God's face, asking, "What is the origin of this golden cauldron?"

The River God replied, "This is the Divine Cauldron of China."

"What's so special about the Divine Continent Cauldron? Didn't you already give away two Divine Continent Cauldrons before?" Chen Guan reached out and grabbed the Divine Continent Cauldron from He Bo's hand, then took it into his own palm and asked, playing with it.

“It’s different. The Divine Continent Cauldron I sent was a replica made by the Great Xia King after he unified the Divine Continent. And the replica is this Divine Continent Cauldron.” Hebo looked at the Divine Continent Cauldron with pain in his eyes, sighed and continued, “This Divine Continent Cauldron is the real one, a unique existence in the world, a true treasure of the Great Grotto Heaven.”

"The secret treasure of the Great Cave Heaven!" Chen Guan exclaimed in surprise, while studying the properties of the Divine Continent Cauldron.

Although Chen Guan is not a member of the Ten Great Families, it is conceivable that the Ten Great Families probably do not possess many of the secret divine treasures of the Great Cave Heaven.

Given humanity's current situation within the Great Cave Heaven, they have no ability to kill the Great Cave Heaven's secret gods, so where would they get the Great Cave Heaven's secret gods' treasures?

Secret Treasure: Divine Cauldron (Secret God).

Skill level: 90.

Usage requirements: Level 90.

Special: This treasure is used to suppress the fate of the nation and cannot be used by anyone other than the emperor and his bloodline.

Chen Guan tried to input his vital energy into the Divine Cauldron to activate it, but found that the Divine Cauldron did not respond at all.

This is not a level-unrestricted treasure like the Mountain-Splitting Axe or the Landscape Map; it requires reaching a certain level to use.

As for the rule that it cannot be used by anyone other than emperors and bloodline inheritors, Chen Guan thought it shouldn't have much of an impact on him.

However, this thing can only be used at level 90, and I don't know when it will be available for combat.

Moreover, if Chen Guan reaches level 90, he will be invincible. What would he need this secret treasure for? Wouldn't it be superfluous?

For a moment, Chen Guan felt that this thing was a bit of a waste to him. He looked at He Bo and asked, "You're not level 90 now, are you? Why can you use the Divine Cauldron?"

"I cannot use the Divine Cauldron. The Great Xia King has only granted me some authority to communicate with it," the River God said with trepidation. "With your abilities, you will surely be able to create a new era and become a new emperor. The Divine Cauldron will certainly be at your disposal in the future."

"Don't worry, since I promised you I wouldn't kill Ma Xiaolong, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, no one will kill him," Chen Guan said calmly.

"Your Excellency truly possesses a broad mind and a grand vision, a person of great stature and ambition..." River God seemed to have finally put down a heavy weight in his heart, and bowed to Chen Guan with great excitement.

But the next second, the River God stood there motionless, his eyes losing focus.

Bang!
Chen Guan felt as if his head had been hammered, his brain was ringing, but his gaze remained cold and sharp as he stared at the top of the River God's body.

There, there stood a ethereal, elusive object, somewhat resembling a distorted human figure from an abstract painter's work.

The ethereal, distorted humanoid figure lunged at Chen Guan once more, like a vengeful ghost.

Bang!
He lunged at Chen Guan, but still couldn't get through.

A faint halo surrounded Chen Guan, like a shimmering Buddhist light enveloping his head.

However, neither the halo nor the ethereal, distorted humanoid figure could be seen by ordinary people. The distorted humanoid figure was the soul of the River God, while the light and shadow on Chen Guan's body were spiritual weapons forged from the unsheathed spirits of heroes.

As early as when the River God said he would use the soul-summoning spell on him, Chen Guan had been on guard against him having such a move, and had been secretly activating the Heroic Spirit Unsheathing technique.

He Bo thought that everything he had done had made Chen Guan lower his guard, making it easier for him to use soul techniques to invade souls, but unfortunately he miscalculated.

Chen Guan not only did not lower his guard, but also possessed the ability to defend his soul.

The River God's soul tried several times to break through the barrier formed by the unsheathed heroic spirit, but failed. Already terrified, it flew back towards its own body.

Although the River God's soul is powerful, far stronger than that of ordinary people, and he also possesses the ability to astral projection, this power is only relative to ordinary people.

Ordinary people who have not trained their souls are easily invaded or even directly devoured by the soul of the River God.

The River God can even possess another's body and resurrect them.

However, all of this is based on the premise that the other party's soul and mental strength are not as strong as his, their will is not firm enough, and their mental strength is relatively scattered.

Just in case, the River God feigned weakness to lull Chen Guan into a false sense of security, and then made his move when he thought Chen Guan was off guard.

If an ordinary person has a highly concentrated mental energy and an extremely firm will, the River God can at most damage their soul, but it will be difficult to absorb them for one's own use.

If Bai Xiuyan were here, with such power, the spirit that had been forged into a sword could severely injure or even destroy the soul of the River God with a single strike.

Although Chen Guan did not forge the spirit into a sword, but only transformed it into a protective shield, it was still not something that the River God could break through.

The River God's soul wanted to return to his body, but it was too late.

A colossal python swallowed his body whole, instantly turning the River God's departed soul into a wandering, aimless spirit.

"I will kill you!" The River God was filled with boundless hatred; the mere anger of his soul triggered a spiritual voice.

He originally thought he could take over Chen Guan's body and identity, and stir up trouble in the new generation.

However, to his surprise, Chen Guan possessed a secret soul technique that prevented him from breaking through, forcing him to return to his own body.

Now that his physical body is destroyed and his soul has nothing to rely on, he can no longer survive for long.

Upon realizing this, the River God was filled with a desperate desire to fight back. His soul flickered with an eerie red light, like a blood-red demon, and he charged at Chen Guan once more.

This time, the River God used the Soul Returning Technique to detonate his own soul and drag Chen Guan's soul down with him.

Chen Guan sensed danger and leaped backward, trying to escape the soul of the River God.

But his physical body couldn't keep up with the speed of his soul. The River God's soul, which resembled a blood-red demon, had already rushed in front of Chen Guan, its face almost touching his.

But the soul of the River God suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen in mid-air.

Chen Guan saw the paper figure float up on its own, hovering in front of his face, with one finger pressing against the soul of the River God, thus fixing the River God in mid-air.
