"You'll have to work a little harder…"
Chen Shu patted the rabbit's head.
This was a rare opportunity, and he also wanted to kill Ling Chen. After all, missing this chance would make it incredibly difficult to find him again.
The rabbit didn't hesitate and drank another bottle of berserk potion.
Its potion effect was about to end; if it didn't replenish it, it would fall into an extremely weak state with no combat power.
Although Erha had awakened, its survival still depended on the rabbit's skills.
"Come on!"
Chen Shu faced Ling Chen's five powerful contracted spirits without any fear, opening Erha's beast-taming space.
Instantly, the space beside him tore open, revealing a dark, gaping hole.
Boom!
In a flash, violent elements surged out, accompanied by an aura of extreme destruction.
"Hmm?"
The Purple Soul Emperor's pupils contracted, and it quickly warned Ling Chen, "Be careful!"
Just then, a creature slowly stepped out of the space.
Erha's appearance had not changed, only its eyes had become more intelligent. However, a mysterious rune had appeared on its forehead, with elemental power surging within it.
If one didn't look at its intelligent eyes, it truly bore some resemblance to a wolf king.
At the same time, multicolored lights emanated from around Erha, like a dazzling halo, enveloping its body and exuding terrifying auras.
Each color corresponded to an element in the world, meaning its mastery over elements had reached the pinnacle!
"This… this is SSS-class?!"
Ling Chen's heart trembled, his eyes filled with shock.
He wasn't surprised by the creature's bloodline level, but by the aura it exuded, which shattered his previous understanding.
With the Purple Soul Emperor's amplification, his Demon God General was also SSS-class. Although it was with external aid, it still brought about a qualitative change in the contracted spirit.
But now, the Demon God General and Erha were like heaven and earth in comparison.
Even Jona's SSS-class angel didn't possess such might.
"Something's wrong… something's wrong…"
Ling Chen muttered. Even racking his brains, he couldn't comprehend the Erha before him.
"Its base attributes are too strong!"
Just then, the Purple Soul Emperor's voice echoed in his mind, "After the qualitative change of its bloodline, it gained this aura."
Even among SSS-class beings, there were disparities!
Chen Shu's Erha, capable of beating Jona's SSS-class with just its S-class, would naturally not be comparable to conventional SSS-class contracted spirits after its promotion.
Bloodline was only one factor; the main reason was Erha's own extremely strong base attributes.
"This kid is too terrifying!"
The Purple Soul Emperor murmured, "We can't let him leave, or we'll suffer in the future!"
Possessing partial memories of an Ancient Emperor's contracted spirit, its mindset was already legendary, yet it felt fear facing this human kid.
"I know!"
Ling Chen frowned and said, "The problem is, we can't keep him!"
The Purple Soul Emperor spoke, "Stall for time, preferably for several days and nights. I can devour his soul!"
Ling Chen could only nod, focusing his attention entirely, no longer casual.
He had initially thought that with his full strength, he could easily defeat Chen Shu, but now, the situation seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.
"Drink this!"
Chen Shu walked to Erha's side, taking out the last bottle of Ultimate Berserk Potion.
Although Erha was an SSS-class contracted spirit, it was still only at the Gold three-star level. Without the potion, it would be difficult to contend with Ling Chen.
Concurrently, Chen Shu scanned its status panel and decisively used his only Extreme Skill Point.
"Roar roar!"
At this moment, Erha's eyes turned blood red after drinking the potion, its aura instantly skyrocketing to the King three-star level.
Boom boom boom!
The pitch-black night was completely torn apart, and within a radius of ten thousand meters, multicolored light permeated the air. Violent elements surged, as if all the elements in the world had converged here.
And at this moment, Erha let out a low growl. Three identical Erhas appeared out of thin air beside it.
The elemental power of the four Erhas fused and intertwined, and a terrifying destructive aura radiated outwards!
"This thing…"
The Purple Soul Emperor's gaze was solemn, and even it felt a sense of dread.
Its vast soul power permeated outwards, manifesting soul armor, which then merged together, greatly increasing its defensive power!
Moreover, its innate talent, [Soul Body], could mitigate a large portion of the damage.
With both enhancements, its current defense was undoubtedly among the top existences below the legendary tier!
It murmured, "Let me see…"
Boom boom boom!
Before it could finish speaking, the leading Erha spat out a massive fireball, a hundred meters in diameter, which descended like a covering sky, instantly striking its body.
"I can take it!"
The Purple Soul Emperor's armor merely trembled slightly before blocking the explosive fireball, showing no cracks.
Seeing this, Erha instantly became more excited, fearing that it wouldn't be able to withstand the hits!
"Roar roar roar—"
The four Erhas cried out repeatedly, and the terrifying elements within their bodies were unleashed, bombarding the Purple Soul Emperor's body like a storm.
Boom boom!
The Purple Soul Emperor's expression remained unchanged, enduring them all with its formidable defense.
And it wasn't merely a sandbag; it was also filled with offense.
Huge hands formed from soul power struck out, aiming to shatter Erha's soul.
The giant hands had an extremely wide attack range, making it impossible for Erha to dodge even with its [Canine Shadow Trace].
However, the rabbit behind it made a move, throwing out spatial imprints to protect Erha and its clones.
Chen Shu was currently in a state of human-spirit unity.
Besides his mental connection with his contracted spirits, his contracted spirits were also mentally connected with each other.
For a moment, Erha and the rabbit acted as one, with the timing of every spatial power release being perfect.
Just as Erha and the Purple Soul Emperor were fiercely battling,
Ling Chen's other four contracted spirits made their move!
They bypassed the main battlefield, targeting Chen Shu's other three contracted spirits.
But unfortunately, as soon as they moved, they were intercepted by Erha's three clones.
There was no communication, and they immediately engaged in combat!
Erha's attack method was quite simple: it continuously unleashed attack skills, relying on the rabbit's teleportation for protection.
Ten minutes passed.
Erha's attacks were plain and unadorned, yet Ling Chen had fallen into a disadvantage!
Aside from the Purple Soul Emperor, the other contracted spirits were being overwhelmed by the clones, unable to fight back. Even the White Fox's various healing skills were forced out.
"The pressure is so immense!"
Ling Chen cursed inwardly, feeling that the situation was slipping out of his control.
The main reason was singular: not only were the opponent's skills terrifying in power, but incredibly, they had no cooldown time!
