Chapter 645: Ninth Soul Skill!

"I suppose such a large whale cannot fly, so I shall just fly away from the sky..."

Finally returning above the gray, hazy clouds, Qin Jian let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Qin Jian..."

But Na'er's voice suddenly echoed faintly in his mind: "An existence like it, infinitely close to a god, can transform into human form. After all, it is a fish; it is fundamentally different from a flower like you."

Qin Jian widened his eyes...

"Boom!"

The next instant, beneath the clouds, a streak of purple light left waves of sound in the air, like a supersonic missile, tearing through the sky and shooting straight at Qin Jian.

"Holy Light Protection!"

Golden holy light tore through the dim sky, pouring down like a waterfall, firmly guarding in front of Qin Jian and forming layers of light curtains.

"Boom! —"

The next moment, the purple light and golden light exploded, like two giant eggs of light eroding each other above the clouds.

"Bang!"

The result of the collision was the purple light retreating a few steps on the spot, while Qin Jian was sent flying back nearly a hundred meters...

The purple light receded; naturally, it was not the two-hundred-meter-long giant Deep Sea Demon Whale. Appearing in Qin Jian's field of vision was a middle-aged man with a rustic complexion.

This person was over three meters tall, with long, deep blue hair draped behind his back.

Most peculiar was that he wore a suit of strange, deep purple armor. The armor appeared crystalline, composed of chest armor, shoulder armor, abdominal armor, a battle skirt, and limb armor; it was integrated, with no visible seams.

A high, standing neck guard protected his neck as well, and he wore a semi-enclosed deep purple helmet with gill-like patterns on both sides.

All the energy in the air seemed to gather together the moment he appeared, and at the same time, a huge deep purple vortex appeared behind him.

"Hum!"

The vortex drifted upward slowly, rotating from behind him to his front, and finally condensed at the center of his chest armor, turning into a fist-sized gem. Even though it had turned into a gem, swirling energy still flickered within it, looking extremely strange.

"Energy armor transformation..." Qin Jian said somewhat heavily.

"You have some insight," the Demon Whale King said in a middle-aged man's rough voice: "Did you think you could escape by binding my true form? Unfortunately, not only can I transform into human form, but I can also crystallize all my energy. Therefore, my human state can utilize no less energy than my true form."

"No matter what you plan, you cannot escape!"

The Demon Whale King's sneer was exceptionally harsh.

"I say..."

Qin Jian said unhurriedly: "Born from the same root, why be in such a hurry to burn each other?"

"Same root?"

The Demon Whale King scoffed: "If you saw the hope of becoming a god like I do, would you still care if the opportunity before you came from a Soul Beast? If I devour you, I can become a god!"

"Devour me?"

Qin Jian crossed his arms: "I thought your goal was the Sea God's Heart."

"The Sea God's Heart is useless to me," the Demon Whale King licked his lips: "I need a Godhood, and it seems you have what I want on you."

"Devour a God Inheritance Inheritor?"

Qin Jian realized: "So that was your plan. Unfortunately, the God Trial on me is not an ordinary God Inheritance; you cannot devour it."

The Demon Whale King sneered: "You think I would believe what you say? Being both Soul Beasts, what you can bear, I can naturally bear too!"

"Enough with this nonsense, is your energy ready?"

A pair of silver white dragon wings sprouted from Qin Jian's back with a 'swish'.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was naturally not kind enough to chat about nonsense halfway through a fight; rather, the energy armor on him had not fully formed and needed time.

Of course, Qin Jian also needed time to build up his momentum—true sword momentum.

After reaching Title Douluo, the fully fused domain ability: Seven Kill Sword Domain!

"Na'er, just like that time with Tang Hao, I will burst out, and you cover the retreat."

Qin Jian said in his mind, and the blood-colored Killing Aura domain around him erupted with a roar.

"Hum!"

A terrifying, ghastly blood-red radiance shrouded the world within a ten-kilometer radius, also suppressing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's aura.

"A mere domain..."

A cruel smile appeared on the Demon Whale King's face, and he growled: "Go to hell!"

Hum, hum, hum!

Purple light orbs appeared around his body; in just an instant, they densely covered an area of several hundred square meters.

Every light orb was locked onto Qin Jian, and the massive energy fluctuations instantly turned the sky on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's side purple, and it was still slightly distorting.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Piercing sounds of breaking through the air rang out; from condensing to firing, it took only a single breath of time.

Those thousands of purple light orbs had already smashed toward Qin Jian like a meteor shower, their speed so fast it could only be described as lightning-quick.

To this, Qin Jian held the Silver Dragon Spear high and slowly spat out one word: "Kill!"

Hum!

The blood-colored dragon spear swept one hundred and eighty degrees, and a blinding, unbearable blood-flame crescent Sword Qi was born out of thin air.

Wherever it flew, space distorted, nearly collapsing.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

The meteor-like purple light orbs dissipated upon contact.

This move of Qin Jian's, which drew from Jian Douluo's Seven Kill Sword and fused with the power of his own Killing God Domain, was even more powerful than his Eighth Soul Skill!

"Crack!"

The Sword Qi was ultimately blocked by the armor condensed from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive energy, but it was like a natural chasm, quietly wedged into him, with the blood flames burning.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Boom, boom, boom.

No matter how the Deep Sea Demon Whale King erupted with energy, that chasm-like Sword Qi remained locked before him, not moving a single bit.

Just as the Demon Whale King intended to bypass the Sword Qi, Qin Jian raised the Silver Dragon Spear once again: "Kill! Kill!"

Two streaks of blood-flame Sword Qi shot out again, sealing off the directions in which the Demon Whale King could dodge.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Amidst the waves of sound, a sea of blood surged to the heavens.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt as if the entire world had turned blood-red, with endless Sword Qi rushing to kill it.

Title Douluo level, Love Mist Illusion mental attack.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

In the very instant the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was affected by the mental illusion, seven streaks of Sword Qi seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart, trapping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King within an isolated space.

Dealing with someone whose power level was higher than his own, Qin Jian's "one-wave flow" was standard procedure; besides, he had Na'er covering his retreat.

"Ring Fusion!"

He shouted lowly in his heart, and all the Soul Rings on his body merged together.

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy armor swept out like a storm, colliding violently with the seven streaks of Sword Qi.

Unable to discern the mysteries of the Sword Qi, the Demon Whale King chose to force his way through with power.

Under the manic fluctuations, he would be able to break through in just a few more breaths.

"Hum!"

But at this moment, the Jiu Huanhuan that Qin Jian had not yet used, the Jiu Huanhuan possessing four golden patterns, burned like a raging blood-colored Flame, spreading across the sky like a ring of light.

"Ninth Soul Skill..."

Qin Jian's entire figure was shrouded in blood-red.

"Sky Net..."

Swish, swish, swish...

Countless figures holding Light Swords rushed out from his body, numbering nine hundred and ninety-nine, weaving a net-like formation centered on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, floating in the sky.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

All the light shadows raised the swords in their hands...
