Chapter 244: Battle Concluded, whale glue
Although he couldn't figure out why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Bone had suddenly appeared within his body, Qin Mu's primary concern at the moment was the state of his physical condition.
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Bone entered his body, Qin Mu found himself uncontrollably absorbing both the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone simultaneously.
What made things even more difficult for Qin Mu was that a powerful surge of golden energy was actually contained within that Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Qin Mu could clearly feel that the level of this golden energy was faintly capable of contending with the energy left behind by the God of Destruction.
Though it could barely hold its own, the golden energy was being continuously devoured with the assistance of the dark-purple energy.
A powerful aura of destruction and the golden energy, further mixed with a murderous aura, constantly intermingled within Qin Mu's body.
At this moment, Qin Mu gradually realized that the source of that golden energy and murderous aura actually came from the Sea God and the Asura God!
His body continuously suffered the pain of being torn apart, yet Qin Mu's mind became exceptionally clear.
The exhaustion from his original battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already been fully recovered in the Goddess of Life's small courtyard; now, Qin Mu had enough Soul Power in his body to fight against these two types of energy.
As the two sides continued to clash, Qin Mu gradually discovered that the changes in his body were becoming more and more obvious.
Everything inside him was changing toward a deep purple; it wasn't just being shrouded in light, but rather a complete internal transformation, a dark purple that integrated into his body.
This meant that his body was also gradually changing toward the level of a god.
Furthermore, the energy of the Sea God and the Asura God was also being gradually purged by Qin Mu.
As time passed, Qin Mu stabilized his mindset amidst the ever-increasing pain, and the dark-purple energy light completely devoured the gold and red.
The dark-purple energy was extremely domineering, constantly circulating and spiraling within Qin Mu's body; any trace of foreign-colored energy it found would be immediately destroyed.
The entire process felt very long to Qin Mu, but through this constant torture and pain, he gradually gained a certain degree of control over the dark-purple energy.
Once his body was completely purged, the dark-purple energy finally began to assist Qin Mu in absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a Sea Soul Beast after all; during Qin Mu's absorption process, the Soul Ring and Soul Bone constantly leaked golden energy, causing Qin Mu no small amount of trouble.
However, this golden energy was ultimately a final struggle, and the entire process was moving in a positive direction.
Finally, as the last trace of crimson-gold light on the Soul Ring vanished, Qin Mu completed the absorption of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Snapping his eyes open, a vast aura radiated from Qin Mu's body.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a million-year Soul Beast after all; absorbing its Soul Ring and Soul Bone brought immense benefits to Qin Mu.
Setting aside the changes in his physical attributes, the increase in Soul Power alone brought him a massive surprise.
His Soul Power had broken through from rank ninety all the way to rank ninety-seven, only a tiny distance away from rank ninety-eight.
Feeling the powerful aura radiating from Qin Mu's body, Ling Yuan and the others couldn't help but show looks of astonishment.
Because they could clearly feel that the current Qin Mu was already so powerful that his aura alone made them feel inferior.
Even the Snow Empress couldn't help but feel some doubt when facing Qin Mu now.
In the Snow Empress's view, the current Qin Mu was already stronger than any human she had ever seen in her memory.
He wasn't even much inferior to that peak human who had already ascended.
"How long was I absorbing?"
Qin Mu looked at the Snow Empress and the others; by now, the bloodstains on their bodies had been cleaned, and the injuries left from the battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had mostly recovered.
"It has already been seven days."
Qin Mu nodded.
In just seven short days, Qin Mu's entire being had undergone a world-shaking transformation.
It was no exaggeration to say that the current Qin Mu could blow up the version of himself from seven days ago with a casual punch.
"Alright, since everything is finished, let's head back first."
After laughing heartily a few times, Qin Mu spoke to Ling Yuan and the others.
"Wait! Are you just going to leave such a precious treasure here? Isn't that a waste of God's gifts?"
Just as Qin Mu was preparing to lead everyone away, the Snow Empress suddenly stopped them from the side.
As she spoke, the Snow Empress used her gentle Soul Power to drag the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive corpse before the group.
This action of the Snow Empress made Qin Mu and the others pause for a moment.
However, as someone familiar with the plot, Qin Mu immediately reacted; the Snow Empress was telling him to take out the treasure inside the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head.
"Treasure? The treasure you're talking about couldn't be this corpse, right?"
Ling Yuan frowned as she watched the Snow Empress haul the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse over.
"Corpse? Hmph!"
The Snow Empress glanced at Qin Mu; seeing that he also seemed a bit confused, the expression on her face softened considerably.
"Although I am not a Sea Soul Beast, I do know that the brains of Sea Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old will evolve into a special kind of medicinal material."
"This kind of medicine is extremely nourishing for any creature and contains vast energy that can serve many purposes."
"This Deep Sea Demon Whale King cultivated for a million years; its whale glue is naturally a good item."
"As for how to use it, that's up to you."
As the Snow Empress spoke, an ice crystal longsword condensed in her hand, and she leaped up to the top of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Due to the ice and snow Domain created by Qin Mu and the Snow Empress, the surrounding temperature had dropped to a certain level.
This also resulted in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse being almost perfectly preserved without rotting.
Around the Domain, quite a few Sea Soul Beasts of significant strength were gathered.
They had all been attracted by the great battle between Qin Mu and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Crowding together at this time, they naturally didn't want to attack Qin Mu and the others, but rather wanted to see if they would leave the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's remains behind.
After all, even the flesh of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King contained extremely vast energy.
Coupled with the fact that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's physical body had reached a level close to a god, even eating a little bit would be of great benefit to the evolution of the surrounding Soul Beasts.
Regarding this, the Snow Empress didn't drive them away; due to the aura she radiated, no Sea Soul Beast dared to take a step forward.
The ice crystal longsword aimed at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gills; with a squelch, the Snow Empress brought the blade down, slicing open the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's skull.
Unexpectedly, a rich and intense fragrance surged out from the opening.
This scent made everyone present take a deep breath; Qin Mu, who was closest, also couldn't help but sniff deeply, instantly feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Looking toward the source of the scent, the rich fragrance was indeed coming from this whale glue that was less than one square meter in size.
