Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Indeed, from the perspective of the spiritual power field, Chen Qi believed that defeating the Snake Father at sea was not a big problem at all.

Not to mention, the Snake Father's main attack methods, many dangerous sea snakes, were completely ineffective against him.

On the deck, Snake Father coldly said:

"It's time to come up, Lamp Keeper. Divination is just divination, after all; it can't change your fate..."

At that moment, the Snake Father made no attempt to disguise its horrifying, dark green pupils.

"Fine."

Chen Qi climbed up the ship's ladder and boarded the Snake Father.

After he boarded, the Snake Father immediately started the engine, speeding towards the Sea of Calamity at maximum velocity.

And Chen Qi was ushered into the VIP room, sharing the space with six Second-tier Hunters.

The VIP room's decor was not complicated, to put it simply, there was a long table and ten seats by the window.

Chen Qi sat by the window, watching the distant scenery.

Unbeknownst to him, the nearly hundred-meter-tall Lighthouse of the Sea God Island gradually disappeared from his field of view, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, misty sea.

Along the way, the entire ship was eerily quiet.

For the entire four-hour journey, no one spoke a word.

It's about time... Chen Qi estimated the distance and stealthily took out a card, sending out the coordinates.

White Tower Hunters, now it's your turn to perform... Chen Qi put the card away.

At that moment, a frail-looking Hunter finally broke the silence, muttering softly:

"Everyone, after we've set out this time, is it possible we might never return...?"

There was silence from the others, with only a few murmured 'hmms' in response.

Chen Qi curiously looked at the others.

Apart from him, these six Hunters seemed to be 'workers' forcibly recruited by the Snake Father.

Just then, the long-awaited Snake Father finally entered the VIP room.

He spoke quietly to Chen Qi:

"Lamp Keeper, come with me. I have a private matter that requires your assistance."

Finally, here it comes! That's good! At this moment, Chen Qi could confirm that on this ship, there were only three Third-order Transcendents:

"Hmm—"

Chen Qi followed the other to a room at the bottom of the cabin, an incredibly sealed room that, despite having been cleaned, still reeked heavily of blood.

The moment he stepped into the room, Chen Qi felt an overwhelming and murderous spiritual power behind him!

In front of him, on the wall, a shadow grew larger, revealing a huge snake head with an increasingly robust body.

Creak, creak, in just an instant, Snake Father's body swelled to two meters tall, and beneath his cloak, his flesh was covered in snake scales, not belonging to a human.

Cup Technique. Serpentine Embodiment!

"Don't be afraid. I'm not a monster..."

The Snake Father exhaled a breath and said coldly:

"Lamp Keeper, your abilities are not bad, but no outsiders are allowed in any important position on Sea God Island, therefore, in the name of the Sea Goddess, I shall bestow upon you a mark, the mark of the snake..."

With that, Snake Father took out a scalpel and a sticky, tentacle-like little creature. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

This was a heart-eating Sea Touch, soaked in Black Whale Blood, processed so that once implanted, Snake Father could easily burst Chen Qi's heart with a technique!

At that time, Chen Qi, being a Third-order Transcendent, would become a loyal subordinate of his, the Snake Father.

Within the Sea God pirates, High-order Transcendents controlled their subordinates through special parasitic Sea Beasts, and this was their 'initiation ceremony.'

Snake Father couldn't help but laugh:

"Of course, Lamp Keeper, my ceremony is much more cruel than the usual ones. You see, I adhere to nature; I don't like using anesthesia! I believe that only through pain can people truly feel the grace of the Sea Goddess!"

Chen Qi turned his head, twisted his neck, and warmed up his fist:

"You talk too much! Old mister!"

"Lack of manners."

Snake Father's muscles bulged as he clenched his fist.

Boom!

Chen Qi flashed in front of Snake Father in an instant, launching a punch.

"Not enough, not enough! That punch is too weak!"

Snake Father blocked with both hands, taking the hit head on.

The next second, Snake Father's pupils dilated with shock, as behind Chen Qi, more and more giant tentacles took form, poised to whip...

In this cramped and dim room, the shadows of the sturdy tentacles reflected on the wall.

In the face of these enormous tentacles, the shadow of the Snake Father appeared minuscule.

"Monster..."

The serpentine-embodied Snake Father widened his eyes in terror.

Bang!!!
