Chapter 147: The Million-Year Deep Sea Devil Whale King Voluntarily Sacrifices Itself!

"So the deity standing behind him is you?" the Deep Sea Devil Whale King exclaimed in realization.

"You can think that way."

"Although my strength hasn't fully recovered yet, I still possess the power of a third-level god peak, and recovering to a first-level god peak is merely a matter of time," Gu Yue said lightly, mainly to tell the other party how formidable he is, so that they would be more wholeheartedly willing to sacrifice.

"Alright, I agree."

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King sighed.

It ultimately chose to sacrifice.

This might be its only way to survive now.

It is betting everything on this one chance, hoping to become a divine beast in the future!

Thinking about this, it still feels quite excited.

"Human kid, get ready to receive my power!"

"Do you want me to produce that soul bone on your body?"

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King looked at Li Fei and said.

"The torso bone," Li Fei thought for a moment, then said.

A million-year torso bone still qualifies to become his internal soul bone.

Moreover, he has a very crazy idea.

He plans to try using it later.

After all, a soul bone is not truly one's own power.

He wants to truly and completely turn the soul bone into his own power!

"Good." the Deep Sea Devil Whale King agreed.

In the vast, boundless depths of the ocean, the water was calm, a scene of tranquility.

However, this tranquility is about to be shattered, for today will unfold a sacrifice unprecedented in history.

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King, this ocean overlord that has survived for a million years, its massive body covered in jet-black scales like the deep abyss, its eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

It chose to end its own life, to become part of Li Fei's soul ring.

Around the Deep Sea Devil Whale King, the seawater began to boil, as if sensing the impending shock.

Its body gradually rose above the water surface, its huge tail lightly slapping the sea, each slap sending up towering waves, the water becoming violent and chaotic under its power.

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King began to chant, its voice like an ancient melody echoing underwater, lingering and profound, moving the entire sea.

As the chant deepened, the whale king's body began to emit a dazzling light, pure and blazing, like a full moon rising from the seabed.

At this moment, the energy inside its body erupted, forming a massive magnetic field that drew surrounding seawater continuously inward, creating a spiraling water vortex.

At the center of the vortex, the whale king's body began to disintegrate into countless points of light, a terrifying powerful force surging skyward, instantly forming a golden magnetic field that enveloped Li Fei!

The Deep Sea Devil Whale King's essence drifted over his body and finally merged! Specks of light appeared on him.

These specks of light, like stars in the night sky, slowly rose and eventually coalesced into a golden halo—this is the million-year soul ring! Within the halo lies all of the whale king's power and soul; it fused its life with Li Fei, completing this sacred and solemn sacrifice.

The entire sea fell silent, all creatures sensing the solemnity of this sacrifice.

Even the most ferocious marine creatures now feel only reverence and mourning for the Deep Sea Devil Whale King.

A generation of million-year spirit beast overlord has thus fallen.

It's simply hard to believe!

Buzz! The golden soul ring swirled around Li Fei, emanating an extremely terrifying aura!

His soul power directly surged from rank ninety to ninety-five! Suddenly he felt heat on his face, and the next second a Deep Sea Devil Whale King mask appeared—it was indeed the million-year external soul bone!

The next moment, the azure Azure Dragon Power quickly infected it, transforming into an Azure Dragon Mask; though the mask only covers the face, its power is by no means small! Moreover, before Li Fei lay a million-year torso bone and a bead of two colors.

This bead is naturally the Deep Sea Devil Whale King's yin-yang dual soul core.

More accurately, it should be called a beast core.

This is indeed the most essential part of a spirit beast, even more precious than a soul bone.

Li Fei picked up the million-year torso bone.

He began to absorb it.

The million-year power instantly flooded his entire body, causing him a brief moment of pained expression.

But soon he withstood it, also completing the absorption of the soul bone. His body erupted with a super terrifying power!

Rank ninety-five peak!

Rank ninety-six!

Rank ninety-six peak!

Rank ninety-seven!

His soul power finally stopped here.

Li Fei was somewhat surprised, not expecting that a million-year soul bone would give him so little power.

But upon reflection, the higher the soul power rank, the more energy is required for each increase, each rank being a qualitative change.

Moreover, the stronger one's martial soul, the harder it is for a soul master to advance.

However, it's not a big problem, because there is still a million-year spirit beast soul core that hasn't been absorbed.

Moreover, the torso bone also underwent a change under the influence of the Azure Dragon bloodline; he took the soul core in his hand, opened his mouth, swallowed it, and began to circulate the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique to absorb and refine it.

The immense power was especially vigorous.

As time passed, Li Fei's soul power once again showed signs of movement.

Early rank ninety-seven!

Mid rank ninety-seven!

Late rank ninety-seven!

Ninety-seventh level peak!

Ninety-seventh level perfect!

Ninety-seventh level great perfection! Li Fei's brows were tightly furrowed.

Has already consumed so much energy.

Yet he still couldn't break through to the ninety-eighth level! This was beyond his expectation.

Never expected that the energy required to reach this realm would be so much! It's simply too terrifying!

After he completely refined this soul core, his soul power level finally broke through to the ninety-eighth level! He finally let out a breath.

Effort was not in vain.

For humans to break through to a higher level, in some respects it is more difficult than for soul beasts.

But their lifespan is also short; compared to soul beasts, their advantage is that they don't need to undergo the lightning tribulation.

Lightning tribulation is a dead end for soul beasts.

From ancient times to the present, countless soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old have died under the lightning tribulation.

Otherwise, with the Douluo Star existing for so long, it would be impossible for there to be only so few high-level soul beasts.

If soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old were to flood and become a disaster, for human society it would be a huge catastrophe.

This is also not allowed by the Douluo Star and the Divine Realm.

The existence of the Divine Realm is even older and more ancient than that of the Douluo Star.

Everything must follow the way of balance.

Powerful beings cannot be too many, nor too few.

Whether soul beasts or humans, both have advantages and disadvantages.

Soul beasts are naturally stronger in physique than humans, start higher, have their own special abilities, and enjoy long lifespans.

Humans are naturally weak, start low, have no special abilities, and have short lifespans.

From this perspective, the way of heaven favors the soul beast race.

This is also a way of balance.

"Twelve-year-old ninety-eighth level titled Douluo, this world has truly gone completely mad." Li Fei gripped his own hand and murmured.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the Devouring Power.

The Devouring Power evolved into the Devouring Domain! This is a tremendous surprise!
