CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 377: THIS BATTLE IS INEVITABLE

The Soul Devouring Shark spoke with earnest sincerity, showing no signs of lying.

Shi Nian was taken aback by what she heard.

Now, only the three of them were left.

The only one that hadn’t yet appeared possessed a single portion of the Kunpeng Bloodline. In theory, they should have the upper hand with each of them having four portions of it.

But what did the Soul Devouring Shark imply?

Even though they had the advantage of the bloodline, they still had to join forces.

Only then would they stand a glimmer of hope of victory.

One could only imagine how terrifying the last existence must be in the eyes of the Soul Devouring Shark!

"I come with genuine intentions this time," continued the Soul Devouring Shark. "You should know, that the Sawtooth Dragonfish is the real monster. If we don’t unite, we’ll just be defeated one by one. Only together do we stand a chance. If we can defeat him, then the two of us can battle it out for the final victory."

This time, the Soul Devouring Shark truly seemed to be seeking cooperation.

After considering it for a moment, Shi Nian extended a head out of the void: "Alright, I can cooperate with you."

The Soul Devouring Shark looked at the small fish head with a speechless expression.

Is it really that tiny?

At their level of cultivation, opening their mouths could easily mean engulfing all in their path.

What could such a tiny blue fish possibly devour?

But the Soul Devouring Shark knew.

Masters of this level could control their own size at will. Despite its small appearance, this blue fish may very well be formidable.

He wondered which race in the ocean could appear as this tiny blue fish?

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn’t come up with an answer.

Isn’t this just a most common, unremarkable little blue fish?

Suddenly, the Soul Devouring Shark fell silent.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but ask: "What are you zoning out for? Is your proposal still valid or not?"

If not, she would have to slip away.

The Soul Devouring Shark snapped back to reality and immediately said: "Of course it’s valid! Together, we should be fearless. Right now, that Sawtooth Dragonfish is still lingering around the undersea vortex. We could first devour the creatures in the layers below, and then go for a fight with him."

Indeed, the other creatures had allied, but it’s likely they couldn’t withstand a united front from the two of them.

Shi Nian furrowed her brows.

She hadn’t shied away from shedding blood, especially in the Undersea World where the law of the jungle prevailed.

But, directly devouring all creatures...

Shi Nian still found it somewhat beyond her.

She was about to say something.

Suddenly, both Shi Nian and the Soul Devouring Shark changed their expressions.

The Sawtooth Dragonfish, which had remained stationary all this time, suddenly moved, and it was charging towards them at a crazed speed.

"Not good! We are its target," the voice of the Soul Devouring Shark trembled slightly.

This showed just how revered the Sawtooth Dragonfish’s name was in the undersea realm!

Seeing his reaction, even Shi Nian started to panic!

This Soul Devouring Shark before her was already extremely ferocious.

The Sawtooth Dragonfish must be truly horrifying to scare him like this!

Perhaps she should just run away!

But Shi Nian bit her teeth and suppressed the urge to flee.

If they fought now, at least she would have the Soul Devouring Shark as an ally. If he were killed first, the Sawtooth Dragonfish would still come after her, and she would be left alone to face him!

"We have to fight sooner or later, might as well be now," Shi Nian said through gritted teeth.

The Soul Devouring Shark added, "He must be concerned that we will become stronger after devouring the other creatures, which is why he’s choosing to strike now!"

The Soul Devouring Shark quickly asked, "What kind of environment do you excel in fighting?"

Shi Nian was momentarily stunned: "I’m okay with anything."

The Soul Devouring Shark said: "I love scorching environments! Since you don’t mind, let’s lure the dragon fish to the underwater volcano! I can unleash greater combat strength in hot regions."

Shi Nian nodded.

"Let’s go!" The Soul Devouring Shark didn’t waste any more words and dashed out in one direction.

Shi Nian hurried to follow.

The speed of the dragon fish was terrifying. Although they started to flee early, they were still caught up by the dragon fish before reaching the volcanic area.

"Soul Devouring Shark! Why run? Why not stop and settle this once and for all?" The dragon fish’s voice echoed throughout the sea.

All the other creatures that were hiding couldn’t help but tremble and sought to conceal themselves even better.

They all guessed it.

The final battle had come!

As long as the final inheritor of the Kunpeng Bloodline was decided, this disaster would also pass.

The Soul Devouring Shark did not reply but pressed on.

The dragon fish picked up the pace, rapidly closing in on the Soul Devouring Shark.

Seeing the situation, Shi Nian silently used her Spiritual Power to give the Soul Devouring Shark a push.

The Soul Devouring Shark felt this force and was overjoyed inside, suddenly speeding up.

"Oh..." The dragon fish chuckled, "You do have some skills indeed."

He deliberately did not mention the existence of the other, thinking that the one who had never shown himself could stay hidden until the end, waiting to deal with the Soul Devouring Shark first.

It seems now...

She and the Soul Devouring Shark must have already teamed up.

Teamed up, huh?

It’s a bit of a hassle!

But, it’s not a big problem.

The dragon fish sneered and chased after them rapidly.

With the push from Shi Nian’s Spiritual Power, the Soul Devouring Shark finally reached its home ground, an underwater volcano about to erupt!

The Soul Devouring Shark breathed a sigh of relief and gradually came to a stop.

The dragon fish smiled and soon caught up.

"Soul Devouring Shark, is this the tomb you’ve chosen for yourself?" the dragon fish said deliberately.

He lightly flicked his tail, and a massive vortex swirled in the sea, as if to swallow everything.

This power was truly terrifying.

The Soul Devouring Shark’s face paled slightly as he said calmly, "This is the tomb I’ve chosen for you! Dragon fish, don’t be so smug, you may not have the last laugh this time."

"Oh?" The dragon fish laughed, "I’m very curious whether you’re relying on that one hiding in the void, skulking about, or the four parts of Kunpeng Bloodline in you? If I were you, I’d rather kill that fellow first, that way, I’d have four more parts of the Kunpeng Bloodline. With eight parts of Kunpeng Bloodline combined, perhaps you could defeat me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Nian felt a slight shock in her heart.

She watched the Soul Devouring Shark warily, truly afraid that he would betray her.

But the Soul Devouring Shark sneered: "Don’t worry, I still have that much self-awareness. Even with eight parts of the bloodline merged, I would certainly not be a match for you, dragon fish. You want us to fight amongst ourselves, so you can win easily. Do you think I would fall for that?"

The dragon fish showed a somewhat regretful expression: "Ah, I’m actually considering it for you, why don’t you understand."

"We’ve known each other for many years, what’s the use of your nonsense, if you want to fight, then let’s fight directly," yelled the Soul Devouring Shark angrily.

The vast power of the dragon fish was clear to all the strong creatures.

Fortunately, he wasn’t fond of slaughter but spent years honing himself in the vortex, so they had lived in peace for years.

If he chose to go on a killing spree, not many in the entire sea would survive!

But this time.

The competition for the Kunpeng Bloodline was destined to have only one victor.

Even if he wasn’t prone to killing, he would definitely not spare his own.

This battle was inevitable.
