God of Pets-Chapter 601: Out-of-Body Soul

"Give it to me." Without wasting words, Chen Guan stared at the golden cauldron in front of the River God.

"As you said, this generation is no longer the era of the King of Great Xia, nor the world of the Xia Family. We only hope to exchange the bloodline for survival in the world." The River God sorrowfully said, presenting the golden cauldron to Chen Guan with both hands.

Chen Guan's gaze went past the cauldron, asking while looking at the River God's face, "What is the origin of this cauldron?"

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

"What's so special about the Divine Land Cauldron? Haven't you already given away two of them before?" Chen Guan reached out and snatched the Divine Land Cauldron from the River God's hands, playing with it as he asked.

"It's different. The Divine Land Cauldrons I gave away were replicas made from materials collected by the King of Great Xia after unifying the Divine Land. The imitated cauldron is precisely this one." The River God looked at the Divine Land Cauldron, eyes full of pain, sighed deeply and continued, "This cauldron is the genuine article, a one-of-a-kind existence in the world, a true Secret God Treasure of Great Cave Heaven."

"Secret God Treasure of Great Cave Heaven!" Chen Guan was surprised, studying the cauldron's attributes.

Even though Chen Guan isn't part of the Ten Great Families, he could imagine that they likely possess very few Secret God Treasures of Great Cave Heaven.

Given humanity's current situation in Great Cave Heaven, they simply lack the ability to kill the Secret Gods there, let alone possess any Secret God Treasures.

Secret Treasure: Divine Land Cauldron (Secret God).

Level: Level 90.

Usage Requirement: Level 90.

Special: A treasure that suppresses national fate, usable only by emperors or their inheritors.

Chen Guan attempted to input his Primordial Energy into the Divine Land Cauldron to activate it, but found that it remained unresponsive.

This isn't like the Mountain-Opening Axe or Mountain and River Map, which are Secret Treasures without level restrictions; one must reach a certain level to use them.

As for the restriction on usage by emperors or inheritors, Chen Guan felt it likely wouldn't affect him.

However, this item requires Level 90 to be usable, and who knows how long it would be before he could use it in battle.

If Chen Guan were to reach Level 90, he would already be invincible in the world, so why would he need this treasure? It seemed redundant.

For a moment, Chen Guan felt this item was somewhat of a burden and looked at the River God, asking, "You're not at Level 90, so why can you use the Divine Land Cauldron?"

"I can't use the Divine Land Cauldron; the King of Great Xia merely granted me some permissions to communicate with it." The River God hesitantly said, "With your abilities, you will surely pioneer a new era and become the new emperor. The Divine Land Cauldron will undoubtedly be useful to you in the future."

"Rest assured, since I promised you I wouldn't kill Ma Xiaolong, as long as he doesn't seek death himself, no one will kill him." Chen Guan calmly said.

"Indeed, sir, you are broad-minded, aspiring for the world. You are someone with great vision and resolve..." The River God seemed to finally let go of a heavy burden in his heart, excitedly bowing to Chen Guan.

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

Bang!

Chen Guan felt his head hit by a hammer, his brain buzzing incessantly, but his gaze remained cold, staring above the River God's body.

There, was a misty, ethereal form resembling twisted human figures from an abstract painter's brush.

That misty and ethereal human-shaped distortion, like a wicked spirit, lunged towards Chen Guan once more.

Bang!

It lunged in front of Chen Guan but still couldn't penetrate.

On Chen Guan, faint halos like bubble-like Buddha light enshrouded his head.

However, neither this halo nor the ethereal human-shaped distortion could be seen by ordinary individuals.

The human-shaped distortion was the River God's soul, while the light aura on Chen Guan was the crafted spirit weapon of the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed.

Ever since the River God mentioned using the soul-calling skill on him, Chen Guan had been on guard against this move, subtly activating Heroic Spirit Unsheathed.

The River God believed his actions had made Chen Guan lower his mental defenses, making it easier for him to use soul invasion techniques, but he had miscalculated.

Not only did Chen Guan maintain mental defenses, but he also possessed soul defense capabilities.

The River God's soul collided several times but failed to break through the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed barrier, becoming alarmed and flew back to its own body.

Though the River God's soul was powerful, far stronger than ordinary individuals, and capable of soul out-of-body techniques, this strength was only significant compared to normal people.

A person without soul training could easily have their soul invaded or directly swallowed by the River God's soul.

The River God could even possess another's body by using corpse borrowing spirit techniques.

But all of this was contingent on the opponent's soul and spiritual power being weaker, their will less firm, their spiritual focus dispersed.

As a precaution, the River God showed weakness to distract Chen Guan, choosing what he believed was a moment when Chen Guan would let down his guard.

If one's spiritual power was highly concentrated and willpower firmly resolute, the River God could at most damage the soul but would struggle to assimilate it.

If Bai Xiuyan were here, the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed forged into a Spirit Casting Sword could severely damage or destroy the River God's soul.

While Chen Guan didn't forge his spirit into a sword, he formed a shield, which the River God couldn't breach.

The River God's soul wanted to return to its body but was already too late.

A massive python swallowed its body whole, leaving the River God's disembodied soul a helpless wandering ghost.

"I'll kill you!" The River God's hate surged, and even just his soul's wrath stirred spiritual sound.

He initially thought he could seize Chen Guan's body, plunder Chen Guan's identity, and once again stir the world in this new era.

Yet, he didn't anticipate Chen Guan having a soul Secret Skill, making entry impossible, forcing retreat to his own body.

Now with his flesh destroyed, the soul had no support, soon unable to survive.

Thus a desperate resolve arose within the River God as his soul flickered with eerie red glow, like a bloodthirsty ghost, as he charged towards Chen Guan once more.

This time, the River God used the Return Soul Skill, intending to detonate his soul and take Chen Guan's soul down with him.

Chen Guan sensed danger and swiftly retreated, trying to evade the River God's soul.

But his flesh couldn't match the speed of a soul, and as the River God's bloodthirsty soul reached Chen Guan, barely an inch from his face.

Yet, the River God's soul unexpectedly froze, immobilized as if subjected to a immobilization technique, suspended in mid-air.

Chen Guan saw the paperman floating on its own, hovering in front of his face, with one finger pressing against the River God's soul, holding it firmly suspended.
