9985 Chapter 9984-power

"And here I thought he would be very strong! Can't even withstand a single blow!"

The three half-step Venerables laughed disdainfully. To be honest, when Gu Weiyang had been killed, they had been afraid for a moment. Now, it seemed that they had been overthinking.

A measly Jianghai Academy, with its so-called "top-tier combat power" at most comparable to their advanced cannon fodder. How could there be anything that could threaten their existence?

Thinking about it, it didn't seem realistic.

Lin Yi's calm voice came from above their heads,"I can see that the so-called half-step Venerables are indeed vulnerable. With my palm, you will all die."

"Ha?"

The three of them did not even have the time to be shocked when they saw the sky above them darken. An unparalleled Golden Palm had already enveloped the three of them.

Great mercy and great compassion palm.

BOOM!

After the earth quaked and the mountains shook, everyone fell into a daze.

Looking at the three huge beasts that had been turned into two-dimensional creatures, not to mention the people in the Academy, even the dark magical beasts cannon fodder who didn't have much spiritual intelligence were collectively stunned. Those who were slightly weaker were directly scared to death!

"What a decisive move. This kid sure is tough. I didn't think that Jianghai Academy would have someone like him. I've underestimated them."

Hai Wutian on the top of Xiao Mountain was amazed.

In front of an existence like him, three half-step Venerables were naturally not qualified to enter his eyes.

However, to be honest, these three were already an overwhelming force in front of any ordinary human force. There were very few people who could withstand a single blow from them, let alone kill them in person.

Especially when it was an instant kill!

The former beast God seemed to have expected this and laughed,""This person is no small matter. If we want to deal with the beast God Hall, he's a ready-made ally,"

Hai Wutian looked at him from the corner of his eyes."He's not bad, but that's all. There are plenty of people with this kind of strength in any temple." If he wants to become an ally of the sea god Hall just like that, don't you think you're overestimating him?"

Only when they were on equal footing could they be considered allies. Otherwise, they could only be regarded as vassals.

With Lin Yi's current strength, he might have a chance if he wanted to join the sea god Hall, but allies?

It must be funny.

"It's true that he's not qualified yet, but if he becomes the king of the coastal waters, can he consider it?"

The former Beastman God turned his blade.

Hai Wutian was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.""The deal you proposed to me, was it for him?"

The former beast God nodded."Since the sea god temple is preparing to re-elect the Sea King, it's best to give him a chance. After all, he has a close relationship with the descendants of the previous Sea King. He has some connections with you."

"That Tian family?"

Hai Wutian shook his head."His family did have a king of the sea. But that's a thousand years ago. It has nothing to do with these useless descendants."

The Sea King was an extremely special existence to the entire sea god Hall, and was also a key link in maintaining the stability of the four Seas.

Their status was so special that they could even speak directly to the sea god to a certain extent. If their strength and means were powerful enough, they could even be on equal footing with the sea god!

Of course, that was only an extremely rare exception.

In history, other than that one, the other Kings of the coastal seas were still indispensable and important figures, but they were far from being on par with the sea god.

Even so, the position of the Sea King was already set, and the seagod Hall would definitely not take it lightly when choosing people.

He had to be strong enough and couldn't be reduced to a pure useless decoration, but at the same time, he couldn't be strong enough to break away from the control of the sea goddess Hall. After all, in theory, although the sea coast King was appointed by the sea goddess Hall, he could also form a restriction on the sea goddess Hall!

If not for this, the position of King of the coastal waters would not have been vacant for hundreds of years.

Originally, Tian Xiangyang was a good candidate. Unfortunately, after a few interactions, although both sides were interested, they had not been able to come to an agreement.

Now, he was even gone.

If it were any other time, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for this position to remain vacant. The situation in the four Seas had always been stable under the control of the Poseidon shrine.

However, things were different now.

As the beast God Hall's movements grew larger and larger, especially when they launched a surprise attack on Jianghai city in the name of hunting down the former beast God, anyone with eyes could see that the beast God Hall's all-out attack was not far away.

Under such a dangerous situation, even with the sea God's temple's massive size, it could collapse in an instant if it could not deal with it with all its might.

To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation.

The sea goddess Hall would not be weak if they were to face the beast God Hall head-on, but the problem was that the sea beasts were the main force of the four Seas, so there was a natural possibility that the beast God would rope them in.

Once the beast God personally joined the battle and used some open tactics to lure and divide them, there was a high probability that there would be internal strife in the four Seas.

Under such circumstances, only King Hai Zhu, who had the duty of protecting the sea, could possibly stabilize the four Seas and become the sea stabilizing pillar in the backyard of the sea goddess Hall!

And one of the powers to recommend candidates for the Sea King trial was in the hands of hai Wutian.

This was the core chip he used to bet with the previous beast God!

The former beast God smiled,"even if we don't talk about this, you've seen Lin Yi's strength with your own eyes. It's not a problem for him to reach the threshold of Sea King, but he's not so outstanding that he'll lose control. From the Poseidon shrine's point of view, he's the perfect candidate."

"That's a little reasonable,"

Hai Wutian fell into deep thought.

"There's another benefit,"the former beast deity continued," if he becomes the Sea King, it'll be like tying Jianghai Academy to your Poseidon shrine's war chariot, and you can use it as a bridgehead.

The beast God Hall has already gained the upper hand. If we wait until they truly launch an offensive and push the Battlefront into the four Seas, it'll be difficult for you to launch a counterattack. You probably won't even have a basic starting point for a counterattack!"

“……”

Hai Wutian fell into deep thought.

The battle between the sea goddess Hall and the Beast God Hall was inevitable, and no one could say how far it would go in the future. It was extremely likely that even the sea goddess and the Beast God would have to personally fight in the end.

However, no matter what, once the beast God Hall successfully forced the Battlefront into the four Seas, the sea goddess Hall would be forced into an absolute passive position even if it had the home ground advantage.

Putting everything else aside, as long as the beast God Hall took the opportunity to destroy the environment of the four Seas, the sea goddess Hall would suffer great losses even if they were forced to retreat in the end.

After all, the four Seas were the foundation of the sea god's Palace.

After a long time, hai Wutian opened his eyes and looked at the former beast God.""If that's the case, then Lin Yi's a pretty good candidate. But I'm curious, what's your relationship with him?"
