Puhaman had submitted!

In fact, he had offered up his divine spirit origin energy with nary any hesitation, making the process unexpectedly quick.

Meng Lei had initially thought that he’d have to go through a lengthy coercion-cum-wheedling process before he could subdue the Dead Souls half-deity—after all, he was an evil ancient fiend and a Dead Souls half-deity, so how would he possibly submit to him that easily?

Snap!

Snap!

The Gods-Slaying Spear jabbed forward repeatedly, easily breaking the ten chains shackling Puhaman.

Having regained his freedom, Puhaman burst into loud, excited laughter as he exclaimed, “Kekeke! I’m finally out!”

It was just a shame that his laughter didn’t hold even a tinge of might. Instead, it sounded incredibly eerie, as if it were the wailing of vengeful spirits from hell!

Eerie, sinister, and terrifying, it sounded awfully creepy!

“Let’s go,” said Meng Lei dispassionately. Then, he turned and started to walk toward the exit. Thaniel hastily followed after him as he maintained a certain distance from Puhaman—he simply couldn’t help but feel unsafe being in the same space as that evil ancient fiend.

“Yes, my honorable Master, keke!”

Puhaman cackled strangely and followed Meng Lei and Thaniel out of the cave.

At this moment, an Eighth-Grade Magical Beast, the Bloodthirsty Violent Shark, happened to swim over.

At the sight of it, Puhaman made a grabbing motion.

Bam!

A huge verdant green withered claw appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Bloodthirsty Violent Shark toward him, upon which Puhaman immediately opened his mouth and sucked forcefully.

Lush green life essence drifted out of the Bloodthirsty Violent Shark and was absorbed into Puhaman’s mouth.

The Bloodthirsty Violent Shark started to visibly dry and shrivel up. A few moments later, it had turned into a piece of dehydrated skin.

Turning one’s gaze back to Puhaman, they would see that his dry, withered skin had plumped up a fair bit and gained a hint of rosiness.

“Kekeke~ The taste of blood truly makes one nostalgic!”

Puhaman licked his lips in such high spirits that he raised his head and burst into loud, raucous laughter.

“Master, that fiend is too evil!”

Thaniel’s voice shook as he shivered and shuddered, totally creeped out.

“Is that Dead Souls Magic?”

Meng Lei was unaffected. Instead, he even developed a keen interest in Dead Souls Magic.

Puhaman replied with a strange laugh, “Keke! Master, I can teach you Dead Souls Magic if you wish to learn it!”

“We can look into it a little when we have some spare time,” said Meng Lei with a slight smile.

“It’s rare to see someone interested in Dead Souls Magic. On top of that, he’s even my Master!”

Puhaman remarked as he cackled. Then, he started on his frenzied “devouring” feast.

None of the marine Magical Beasts they encountered along the way were spared.

He himself also began to plump up rapidly. By the time they were out of the bottom of the ocean, he looked like a completely different person.

A strong, ample, well-built body, crystal-clear skin, glossy jet-black hair...

Which part of that was a skeleton from the bottom of the ocean? It was clearly a graceful and gentlemanly middle-aged noble!

If it hadn’t been for the fact that they had exited the bottom of the ocean together, even Meng Lei and Thaniel wouldn’t have quite dared to believe their eyes.

Was that guy really Puhaman?

A smiling Meng Lei complimented, “That looks a lot more pleasant to the eye now!”

Puhaman was the picture of a mild-mannered and refined gentleman as he did a graceful nobles’ bow in response. “You may not know this, Master, but before I’d begun to cultivate Dead Souls Magic, I was a human king.

“Unfortunately, my country was destroyed later on. For the sake of seeking revenge on the Dragons, I had no choice but to switch to cultivating Dead Souls Magic and ended up a monster that was neither human nor ghost.”

At this point, Puhaman cast a glance at Thaniel. His eyes carried a look of malice, causing Thaniel to tense up all the way to his anus and become all creeped out.

“Little did I think that you’d have gone through something like that. That’s surprising!”

Meng Lei said with a laugh, “I happened to have just destroyed the Dragons and am intending to take over Dragon God Empire. Since you’re experienced in this aspect, you should be able to be of assistance to me, right?”

“Keke, I’m glad to offer my services to you, Master!”
