Chapter 644: Can't Handle It, Can't Handle It

"I know."

Qin Jian's expression was very serious, but the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and at the same time, two soul power ribbons appeared, binding Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong to his sides, back-to-back with him.

"But it has already locked onto me!"

He looked up and saw the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pitch-black demon eye, a full three meters in diameter, staring fixedly at him, as if staring at a dead man.

"This is not a chance encounter... It came for me... Or rather..."

Qin Jian gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly: "It came for the Vast Sea Universe Cover."

He finally remembered the purpose of this Deep Sea Demon Whale King; it was only a hair's breadth away from the God Level threshold and had been seeking a breakthrough for many years, and now the Sea God's Heart, the Vast Sea Universe Cover, was the most suitable aid.

The final Heavenly Tribulation is not easy to pass; having once reached Million Year Spirit Power, Qin Jian naturally knew how difficult it was.

But in truth, he wanted to advise this Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which had lived even longer than him, that breaking through the million-year boundary would only grant it strength equivalent to a god, but it could not truly attain eternal life; some kind of rule blocked the possibility of a Soul Beast becoming a god.

More importantly, even if a Million-Year Soul Beast became a god, it would only be equivalent to a Third-level God, which was simply tasteless...

It was a pity he could not persuade this Deep Sea Demon Whale King; after hundreds of thousands of years of effort and obsession, how could it easily let go?

Moreover, Qin Jian had no better option to offer it, because the path of transformation was equally difficult to walk!

"Qin Jian, fusing with me will at most allow you to rival it; to defeat, injure, or even kill it, you cannot do it at your current level..."

Na'er's voice carried a hint of nervousness: "This is the seabed, its home turf, and its strength is almost infinitely close to the God Level... For you and me to fuse and break through the God Level boundary, unless you reach level 99, it is absolutely impossible!"

"I know..."

Qin Jian pondered for a moment and said: "Then only by fighting to a draw or even defeating it is there a possibility of negotiation. In its eyes, I am currently nothing but an ant; attempting to negotiate is merely courting humiliation."

Na'er was silent for a moment, and finally only said two words: "Very difficult."

"Roar—!"

A strange, roaring sound suddenly erupted from the mouth of that behemoth.

Qin Jian was startled; he looked up and saw a blue light orb, twenty or thirty meters in diameter, being compressed to the extreme inside the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth.

Then, it closed its mouth and opened it again, firing it like a laser cannon.

Aimed at Qin Jian, the laser reached him in an instant.

"Swish!"

Qin Jian did not hesitate to open his Domain, dyeing the seabed white and purple.

At the same time, his figure flashed, appearing directly on the back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, turning his spear into a ten-meter-long spear light and slamming it down toward its blowhole.

Facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, what was his greatest advantage?

It was that it was too huge, and he was too small!

An ant bites an elephant; no matter how great the elephant's strength is, what use is it?

Although this thought was good, it was shattered in the next instant.

Life is just so unpredictable...

"Roar!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King closed its giant mouth, swallowing the compressed blue light orb into its body.

In an instant, the entire surface of its body lit up with crystalline blue light.

"Boom!"

As if its body had suddenly expanded by a circle, the blue light barrier exploded, launching an all-encompassing attack with no blind spots.

Qin Jian: "..."

Before the spear light could land on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he was directly blasted away.

The rebounding Qin Jian was filled with nothing but ellipses.

Relying on its nearly infinite energy, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn't mind using an all-encompassing attack every time.

"Splash!"

Just as Qin Jian had not yet steadied himself from the retreat, the whale tail, so massive it seemed to blot out the sky, slapped down toward his head.

"Swish!"

Qin Jian used Teleportation again.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

But this time, just as he changed his position, thick water arrows shot right in front of his face.

With mental locking, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could shoot him in the face at any time, and Teleportation was almost ineffective.

"Spirit Avatar!"

A massive giant sword light shadow descended with a boom, wrapping Qin Jian inside.

"Thud!"

The water arrows exploded into ten thousand blue lights upon the giant sword.

"Rongrong, don't provide support," noticing that Ning Rongrong behind him had already summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to prepare for support, Qin Jian hurriedly stopped her: "With your soul power, you can't support me for long. Let's use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Although Qin Jian's level now far exceeded that of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, it was better than nothing; the three-in-one Martial Soul Fusion Skill still raised his soul power level to the equivalent of level 95.

"Click, click, click!"

With the Spirit Avatar attached to the Silver Dragon Spear, Qin Jian's eyes turned blood-red.

"Initial Heart! Ice Heart!"

The previous turn of events happened too fast, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn't play fair; he had been caught completely off guard, and his various statuses hadn't been fully buffed yet.

Now, by hard-tanking a water arrow, he finally found an opportunity.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

There was still a gap in strength; Qin Jian could only strike while dodging, moving all around the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—up, down, left, and right—finding opportunities to stab at its single eye on the right.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The seabed was like a volcanic eruption, the entire sea area in constant Vibration, waves towering on the sea surface, tsunamis occurring incessantly; even over at Hanhai City, the ocean's angry roar could be felt.

Qin Jian didn't contribute too much to this commotion; it was mainly because the Demon Whale King's soul power was nearly infinite, and it would launch all-encompassing, no-dead-angle attacks at the drop of a hat, each one like an undersea volcanic eruption, so naturally, these typhoons and tsunamis couldn't be suppressed.

"Can't beat it, can't beat it... can't fight it at all without going all out..."

Blasted away once again by the Demon Whale King's explosive power, Qin Jian's body moved through the seawater like a light arrow piercing the waves, though unfortunately, he was flying backward.

"Boom!"

A blue laser beam followed closely behind, as if using a cannon to hit a mosquito, but the Demon Whale King didn't care at all; as long as it could kill Qin Jian, it didn't mind wasting dozens or hundreds of times the energy.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were tied behind Qin Jian, not saying a word, avoiding any interference with him.

"Hum! ——"

And just at this moment, Qin Jian had finished charging, his Eighth Soul Ring suddenly expanding and lighting up.

"Holy Light Binding!"

Above the low, gray sky over the sea surface, majestic heavenly light suddenly descended, illuminating this world.

"Bang bang bang..."

The next moment, endless pillars of holy light descended from the sky, straight into the seabed, transforming into a cage of holy light to bind the massive Demon Whale King.

"Roar! ——"

The Demon Whale King's roar shook the heavens and earth, its struggling fluctuations causing the sea to change color and waves to tower.

The power of Qin Jian's Eighth Soul Skill, Holy Light Binding, was not considered great; it could only restrict an opponent of equivalent soul power for a dozen or so breaths, intended as a setup for the subsequent Holy Sword strike.

But using it on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at this moment could be called a perfect match; as the saying goes, it was just too big...

Without needing the holy light to suppress it, it couldn't even break free from the crisscrossing pillars of holy light.

"Time to slip away, time to slip away; once I'm above level 95, maybe I can try to take it on..."

Qin Jian pointed his Dragon Spear straight ahead, carrying Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu as they transformed into a silver-white spear radiance, slicing through the deep sea and soaring into the sky, straight into the high altitude.

"This guy surely can't fly..."

Qin Jian stopped above the clouds, panting slightly.

In the deep sea, within the center of the holy light pillars, a flash of mockery crossed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pitch-black single eye...
