Chapter 117: The Eighth Soul Ring, Target — the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
After receiving the pill Yun Yuan handed over, Qian Daoliu swallowed it and began refining its medicinal power.
Not long afterward, Qian Daoliu's slightly unstable aura gradually stabilized, and his condition slowly recovered to its absolute peak.
While Qian Daoliu recovered, Yun Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. His eyes shifted a few times, as though contemplating something.
But soon, he withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu had also fully recovered to his peak state. Looking toward Yun Yuan, he could not help but praise him.
"Xiao Yuan, with your current strength, you should already have stepped into the quasi-god level. If we speak only of personal strength, you can already be considered the number one person on the continent."
Even he, with only a first soul core condensed, was no match for Yun Yuan, much less Tang Chen, who was weaker than him.
If nothing unexpected happened, then one year later, during that five-year agreement, his former friend Tang Chen would likely perish in this world.
"As for the quasi-god level, even if I haven't fully stepped into it yet, I should already be extremely close."
Yun Yuan himself was not completely certain whether he had entered the quasi-god realm. After all, the gap between a quasi-god and a peak demigod was still rather large.
However, he was confident that even if his current combat power did not reach a quasi-god level, the difference was negligible.
Possessing such a strength at this level gave him even greater confidence in obtaining his eighth soul ring.
"Grandmaster, let us return first. Next, I will begin preparations for obtaining my eighth soul ring. At that time, I'll have to trouble you."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, unable to suppress his confusion. With Yun Yuan's current strength, obtaining an eighth soul ring still required his assistance?
As far as he knew, within the entire soul beast world, the only soul beasts who had reached the Quasi-God level were the Beast God Di Tian, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and the Snow Empress.
Could Yun Yuan's target for his eighth soul ring be one of those three soul beasts?
Immediately afterward, Qian Daoliu looked toward Yun Yuan with curiosity in his eyes and slowly asked:
"Xiao Yuan, your target for the eighth soul ring... it wouldn't happen to be one of those three quasi-god soul beasts you mentioned before, would it?"
Yun Yuan did not deny it. He nodded before slowly explaining to Qian Daoliu:
"Grandmaster, the target of my eighth soul ring is that million-year soul beast in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
"With the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's strength, I definitely cannot deal with it alone. But with you, who can wield angel divine power, together with another Limit Douluo, there is a chance we can successfully hunt it."
Now, Yun Yuan's physique had reached the level of a humanoid soul beast, his spiritual power had reached the demi-god level, and his strength could even rival a quasi-god.
With such terrifying foundations, his target for the eighth soul ring naturally locked onto the million-year soul beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
As long as he could successfully kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and absorb its soul ring and soul bone, then his strength would certainly reach the peak quasi-god level, perhaps even the level of a true god. At that point, his path as a soul master would become completely unobstructed.
"Another Limit Douluo? Xiao Yuan, the person you're referring to is..."
Listening to Yun Yuan's words, Qian Daoliu once again felt puzzled. Given Yun Yuan and Tang Chen's relationship, the Limit Douluo Yun Yuan referred to could not possibly be Tang Chen.
Moreover, to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, an ordinary Limit Douluo would definitely not suffice. At minimum, it had to be a Limit Douluo at the peak demi-god level to qualify to face the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a peak quasi-god level existence.
But according to Qian Daoliu's knowledge, there did not seem to be any other demi-god or quasi-god experts on the continent.
Unless that Limit Douluo was not on the continent, but instead
In the next moment, Yun Yuan gave his answer.
"Grandmaster, this Limit Douluo is the same as you. She is also a high priest serving a god in the mortal world. She is not on the continent but in the ocean. The god she worships is called the Sea God."
"Her name is Bo Saixi. She can borrow Sea God power, and while on the ocean, her strength surpasses even yours. She deeply hates the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which is why she is a powerful ally I may be able to recruit."
"With our combined strength, along with her assistance, we should be able to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, barring any accidents."
"If it were only the two of us, there would still be some difficulty. After all, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's strength has already reached the peak quasi-god level, and it resides within the ocean. It will not be easy to deal with."
After hearing Yun Yuan's explanation, Qian Daoliu finally understood. So there truly exists another divine inheritance faction in this world.
Next, Qian Daoliu softly repeated Bo Saixi's name twice, curiosity arising toward this Sea God High Priest.
After all, Bo Saixi was the only soul master in this world who was the same kind of existence as him. Both were representatives of gods in the mortal world, and both possessed Limit Douluo cultivation.
After briefly explaining the plan for his eighth soul ring, Yun Yuan and Qian Daoliu left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and returned to Spirit City.
After returning to Spirit City, Qian Daoliu immediately began preparing for hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was a million-year soul beast with peak quasi-god-level strength. Hunting it within the ocean would be extraordinarily difficult.
Because of this, aside from using angel divine power, Qian Daoliu also intended to use his final trump card in preparation for hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
That was temporarily borrowing the Angel God's weapon itself—the legendary divine artifact, the Angel Holy Sword!
Angel divine power, combined with the Angel Holy Sword, would definitely make the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suffer greatly.
After Yun Yuan returned to Spirit City, he headed directly toward the Pope Palace.
"Teacher, is there any news regarding the search for Sea God Island?"
Inside the Pope Palace, Yun Yuan looked toward Qian Xunji before him and slowly asked, with anticipation visible within his eyes.
"Xiao Yuan, this ocean truly does have the Sea God Island you mentioned. We have already successfully obtained its specific location from sea soul masters."
"Speaking of which, what kind of force is this Sea God Island? Why are you paying so much attention to it?"
Facing Yun Yuan's question, Qian Xunji also gave his answer. Yun Yuan had already explained the matter of searching for Sea God Island to him half a year ago.
Not long ago, he had already obtained Sea God Island's exact location. However, at that time, Yun Yuan had been preparing to condense Yin-Yang Harmony dual soul cores, so he did not disturb his disciple.
Instead, he planned to tell Yun Yuan after he successfully condensed them.
Still, what puzzled him was why Yun Yuan's attention had suddenly become focused on this oceanic force.
"Teacher, Sea God Island is the same as our Spirit Hall. It is also a divine inheritance force. The reason for searching for Sea God Island this time is to cooperate with a Limit Douluo there to accomplish something."
Yun Yuan answered truthfully, explaining the purpose behind seeking Sea God Island.
When Qian Xunji heard the words "Limit Douluo" from Yun Yuan, his brows slightly furrowed. He had not expected Sea God Island to actually possess a Limit Douluo.
Most importantly, Sea God Island was also a divine inheritance land, which meant that the strength of that Limit Douluo would not be inferior to his father, Qian Daoliu.
