The Demon Whale King was extremely excited, thinking that he would soon become a God. The ninety-seventh level soul power Ye Yu before him seemed to be easily annihilated.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Whale King approached. At the moment he made his move, nine golden soul rings appeared around Ye Yu, the dazzling golden light blinding the Demon Whale King's eyes. Before he had the chance to be shocked, to see clearly, he felt intense pain in his abdomen, a terrifying force surging into his body, causing it to swell instantly, on the verge of explosion.
Swoosh!
The swollen Demon Whale King flew away like a balloon, soaring far, far into the distance.
Tang San seized the opportunity to attack, the Trident of the Sea God delivering another strike, worsening the Demon Whale King's injuries.
The Demon Whale King fell to the seabed, the purple armor on his body completely vanished, directly shattered.
The severely injured Demon Whale King was in disbelief, "How...how could this be..."
In that instant, he saw nine gold soul rings. Before he could be shocked, Ye Yu's fist slammed into his abdomen, a force so terrifying he never anticipated.
With soul technique amplification and Ye Yu's humanoid dragon transformation, even a quasi-god level Demon Whale King would be gravely injured and near death facing Ye Yu's full-force punch.
Now, the Demon Whale King was barely alive, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"No...impossible... He's clearly only level ninety-seven, how could he injure me so severely with a single punch."
If not for the armor on his body, that punch would've directly blown him up, killing him instantly. It was too terrifying; even a Sea God couldn't achieve this.
Though possessing a divine-level body, for soul masters and gods, energy and soul power are what's important.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was utterly afraid, fleeing directly, but at that moment, Tang San appeared, coldly saying, "You can't escape."
Tang San's eyes emitted a purple-gold light, shooting straight toward the Demon Whale King's head. At the moment of life and death, the Demon Whale King instinctively dodged, letting out a low roar and waves of ripples surged, trying to block Tang San's Purple Extreme Demon Pupil. The collision produced a violent roar, causing seawater within hundreds of meters to rise, reaching a thousand meters high.
After the collision, Tang San bled from seven orifices, despite the Demon Whale King being severely injured due to Ye Yu. Yet, he was still quasi-god level. Tang San felt lucky to have a brother like Ye Yu. Meeting Ye Yu was fortunate for him; otherwise, to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King himself, it would be a life-or-death struggle.
Despite being wounded, the Demon Whale King fell into dizziness, though only momentarily, it was enough.
"Beyond redemption!"
Tang San hurled the Trident of the Sea God, transforming into a golden light that instantly pierced through the heart of the Demon Whale King's body, blood splattering, accompanied by a mournful scream.
Severely injured, without armor, due to Ye Yu's punch, his body fractured, defense lowered, along with Tang San's attack using the Golden Thirteen Halberds technique, directly piercing the Demon Whale King's heart, creating a massive cavity.
Not only the heart but the internal organs were completely shattered.
The Demon Whale King's gaze was vacant, filled with reluctance, unable to comprehend why level ninety-seven soul power was so terrifying.
The Demon Whale King's body fell, simultaneously reverting to its original form, a massive body of a hundred meters long, covered in fractures, instantly dyeing the surrounding waters red.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King lost its breath; Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. Without Ye Yu, even with preparation, he wouldn't be a match.
The Eight-Spider Spear plunged into the Demon Whale King's corpse, absorbing enormous energy, restoring soul power.
Soon, Tang San recovered to peak condition, having consumed the crystal caterpillar sausage made by Oscar's eighth soul skill, allowing for complete recovery as long as there's breath remaining, although limited to making only one every seven days.
Though not comparable to Ye Yu's first soul skill, it's still an extremely powerful soul technique.
Sensing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had died, Xiao Bai witnessed Ye Yu's current strength, utterly shocked.
"Master, you're so fierce, even fiercer than I imagined. I never thought you were already so formidable, able to gravely wound the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a single punch."
Xiao Bai was in disbelief. Ye Yu's growth speed was too rapid; exceeding-level ability was too terrifying.
"Not fierce, how could I be your master." Ye Yu smiled lightly.
"Yes, only a fierce man like Master could make me willingly be ridden."
Tang San began absorbing the soul ring, knowing the difficulty was no less dangerous than the battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Tang San started absorbing, the Demon Whale King's energy, violent, strong, domineering. At the moment of absorption, Tang San felt his body and even soul bone threatened to explode together, ejecting a mouthful of fresh blood.
As he absorbed, the Demon Whale King's body burst into a giant cavity, a purple bone soaring into the air, resembling a spine, entirely like purple crystal.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast when killed must explode a soul bone.
After a day and night, Tang San awoke, breathing a sigh of relief, "Finally over."
Tang San was filled with lingering fear; during absorption, he almost collapsed multiple times.
Tang San's right hand held the Trident of the Sea God, left hand the Vast Heaven Hammer, which gained an additional soul ring, startling Tang San, as the ninth soul ring on the Vast Heaven Hammer was crimson gold.
"My ninth soul ring is similar to Qianren Xue's tenth soul ring, though lacking the intense sacred aura, yet it enshrouds an unfathomable, massive killing intent. Why is this, wasn't the Deep Sea Demon Whale King less than a million years old? Is my ninth soul ring a million-year divine-level soul ring?"
At that moment, an amiable voice echoed in his mind.
"Sea God's Eighth Trial: Ten Thousand Years City, rewarding Sea God Affinity by thirty percent, current Sea Cucumber Affinity at ninety-nine percent." Just then, a familiar voice echoed in Tang San's mind, "Sea God's Eighth Trial, completed, Sea God Set Passage. Reward to enhance Sea God Affinity by thirty percent, total affinity at ninety-nine percent."
Though there was no tangible reward, having such high Sea God affinity is the greatest reward, as when inheriting the Sea God's divine position, the higher the affinity, the easier the inheritance.
Having absorbed the Demon Whale King's soul ring and soul bone, Tang San had already reached level ninety-nine.
Tang San flew into the air, returning to the back of the Great White Shark.
"Xiao San, your soul power has greatly increased; what level is it now?" Dai Mubai curiously asked.
"Level ninety-nine."
Ma Hongjun was surprised, "Not worthy of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, absorbing it directly raised you rapidly, surpassing Boss Yu's soul power level."
Tang San bitterly smiled, saying, "Though higher than Brother Yu, even ten of me are no match for Brother Yu. Brother Yu can achieve the hundred level anytime he wishes, but he's not intending to add soul rings to the second martial soul right now. My rapid soul power increase is also due to the twin martial souls."
Ma Hongjun envied, "I've witnessed the horror of twin martial souls. Adding soul rings to the second martial soul also impacts one's self, effectively doubling cultivation speed."
Tang San sighed, "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was indeed terrifying, fortunately having Brother Yu there."
Xiao Bai said, "I knew that Deep Sea Demon Whale King would certainly provoke the master; he must have regretted it immensely upon his death."
Oscar laughed, "Indeed, thinking he was going to become a God, ended up becoming a ghost."
