Chapter 282

Listening to the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's teasing and mocking tone, it seemed as if Gu Xuan and the others were mere playthings in his eyes—but is that really the case?

We need to keep meaning exactly. Let's translate: "Listening to the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's teasing and mocking tone, it seemed as if Gu Xuan and the others were mere playthings in his eyes—but is that really the case?" That's fine.

Only see Gu Xuan stepping in the void, walking slowly toward the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a terrifying aura pressing directly toward the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a cold, icy voice indifferently sounding: "Deep Sea Magic Whale King, overlord of the seas that existed since the Sea God era, yet you have survived to this day; you should not be so ignorant."

We need to keep all info. Let's craft: "Only see Gu Xuan stepping in the void, walking slowly toward the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a terrifying aura pressing directly toward the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a cold, icy voice indifferently sounding: 'Deep Sea Magic Whale King, overlord of the seas that existed since the Sea God era, yet you have survived to this day; you should not be so ignorant.'"

Since we have personally come to your door, in your eyes are we really so feeble?

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King also stepped in the void toward Gu Xuan, likewise erupting with a terrifying aura, contending with Gu Xuan.

"Hehe, ignorant child, in your eyes you dare to provoke this seat, but what does an ant know of the height of heaven?"

Gu Xuan smiled faintly: "Heaven? Since you proclaim yourself as lofty as heaven, let me see your strength; if you can meet my demands, perhaps I may grant you an opportunity as well."

After speaking, Gu Xuan was already within ten meters of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King; their auras had already shattered the heavens, one side black-purple, the other dark silver.

Gu Xuan no longer wasted words with the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, directly closing in and launching an attack.

Only see Gu Xuan clenching his fists, charging straight at the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's chest and abdomen.

Gu Xuan now stands two meters tall; although tall and sturdy, compared to the three-meter-tall Deep Sea Magic Whale King, he is slightly inferior.

Of course, this is merely a sensory impression.

Seeing Gu Xuan actually wanting to compete in melee prowess with him, the overlord of the deep sea, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King gave a sinister laugh and likewise closed in.

"Peng!"

The two fists collided; originally just an ordinary punch meeting another punch, they instantly stirred up shocking waves, endless air waves spreading outward from the two as center, momentum astonishing.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin silently withdrew from the battlefield a kilometer away, giving Gu Xuan space to fight.

Now the two have absolute confidence in Gu Xuan's strength, for even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for Gu Xuan today.

Their reason for coming was merely to support Gu Xuan.

Moreover, the aura released by the Deep Sea Magic Whale King already far surpasses theirs; if they were to face it head-on, although they would not be slaughtered, they would certainly not be a match.

Gu Rong watched Gu Xuan engaged in close combat with the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a relieved smile appearing on his face, and said to Chen Xin beside him: "Sword Old Man, look at Xuan'er now—could he not be far more brilliant than we were back then?"

Chen Xin nodded upon hearing; they too had once been proud talents of an era, but facing a monster like Gu Xuan, they could only feel eclipsed.

At twenty years old, rank ninety, with three 100,000-year Soul Rings, his strength rivals that of a rank ninety-nine Super Douluo, and this is still without using his martial soul's second awakening.

Who could ask: such a monster, perhaps no one in any past era could compare?

Chen Xin smiled while watching Gu Xuan and the Deep Sea Magic Whale King evenly matched: "This Deep Sea Magic Whale King has abandoned its soul beast form, taking human shape, and its strength is on par with Xiao Xuan's current level; it's just unknown whether its soul beast form or Xiao Xuan's second awakening is stronger."

Upon hearing, Gu Rong's face also eased somewhat, though he was not overly worried, after all Gu Xuan this brat is well-versed in the art of survival; without absolute certainty, he would not act lightly.

At this moment, Gu Xuan has exchanged hundreds of blows with the Deep Sea Magic Whale King; their offense and defense are evenly matched, neither gaining much advantage.

Gu Xuan had anticipated this, after all besides the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's terrifying cultivation, its physical strength is likewise top-tier on the continent; even someone like Qian Daoliu or Bosai Xi, who possess divine inheritance and are rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, may not surpass the Deep Sea Magic Whale King in physical quality.

The reason Gu Xuan can match the Deep Sea Magic Whale King in physical quality stems from his efforts since childhood and various heavenly treasures, plus the boost from the External Plugin.

Starting from whale glue body tempering, then ice fire forge golden body, surpassing level to absorb Soul Rings, absorbing soul spirits, receiving the dual king inheritance, obtaining the evil god secret method—all these opportunities combined have given Gu Xuan his present strength.

Yet for the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, how could a frail human body like Gu Xuan possibly match its physical quality?

Although Gu Xuan's aura now matches his, soul power level cannot be faked; yet a rank ninety Gu Xuan can possess various physical qualities—how could the Deep Sea Magic Whale King not be astonished?

Merely, the stronger Gu Xuan appears, the more excited the Deep Sea Magic Whale King becomes, for to a soul beast, Gu Xuan's level of physical strength is nothing short of a precious medicine; devouring him would surely greatly benefit its cultivation progress.

Of course, as Gu Xuan displays such strength, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King no longer looks down on him; after all, possessing such strength proves Gu Xuan is no weakling.

"Peng!"

The Deep Sea Magic Whale King again clashed fists with Gu Xuan; the tremendous impact forced both to retreat a hundred meters; seizing the gap, the Deep Sea Magic Whale King clasped its hands in the void, and two terrifying purple-black great hammers already appeared in its grasp.

It does not rush to kill Gu Xuan, for it has long lacked a sparring partner of such strength to aid its cultivation; at this moment it regards Gu Xuan as a whetstone, to help it better master this terrifying power and attain higher comprehension of the Dragon Transformation method.

But Gu Xuan thinks likewise; although he usually spars with Gu Rong and the others, that is merely practice; when he reaches a bottleneck in practice, he needs a true life-and-death battle to temper his potential.

Seeing the Deep Sea Magic Whale King summon its bound weapon, Gu Xuan waved his hand, and eight dragon swords flew from his back, assembling in midair into a broad, domineering Dragon Sword.

The entire Dragon Sword resembles a true dragon incarnate; it seems Gu Xuan is not merely holding a sword but riding a true dragon, mighty and overbearing, looking down upon all directions.

The movements of both sides were completed in an instant; only see the Deep Sea Magic Whale King again charging toward Gu Xuan, a hundred-meter distance covered in an instant; during the process, it swung its two great hammers, surrounding sea waters surging, rolling up sky‑covering spray that slapped toward Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan likewise leaned forward, charging toward the Deep Sea Magic Whale King; facing the terrifying waves, his Dragon Sword lightly swept, and a matchless, mighty sword qi shot forth, splitting the waves in two; the terrifying sword intent directly tore apart all the spray, turning it into a water curtain that fell down.

"Furious Thunder Magic Surge!" the Deep Sea Magic Whale King swung its great hammers, soul power fluctuations surging violently; obviously, this is its innate talent skill evolved into a soul skill; under the impetus of its terrifying strength, its power is already not inferior to a full‑force strike of a Titled Douluo.

Gu Xuan's expression remained unchanged; he swung his Dragon Sword, performed the sword formula, and the Dragon Sword likewise erupted with endless sword might, merging with his soul power to unleash a terrifying sword, directly facing the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's great hammers.

"Seven Slaying Sword Technique Third Style: Horizontal Across Eight Directions!"

"Clang!"

The attacks from the great hammer and the Dragon Sword collided, producing a clangorous boom; their clash unfolded once again.

With Gu Xuan's current strength, combined with his sword dao and the Dragon Sword, the Seven Slaying Sword Technique he unleashes is likewise immensely powerful, not falling short; the terrifying killing intent and sword intent unfold like substance, terrifying indeed!

"Demonic Thunder Myriad Jun!"

"Seven Slaying Sword Technique Fourth Style: Killing Intent Fully Exposed!"

The Deep Sea Magic Whale King's great hammer repeatedly collided with the Seven Slaying Sword; the Deep Sea Magic Whale King discovered that, besides physical strength, this human of merely rank ninety also possesses terrifying attainments in weaponry.

Therefore, it wishes to compare the next aspect.

"Magic Whale Domain—Open!"

Above the firmament, heavenly thunder rumbles; centered on the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, a radius of one kilometer instantly turns into a purple‑black thunder field; within the field, besides lightning rampaging, endless waves entwined with lightning transform into black thunder‑water, terrifying indeed.

Its domain not only amplifies its own combat power, but also carries the attributes of water, lightning, and devouring; it can not only control endless water‑lightning for offense, but also rely on devouring marine life to swiftly recover its condition.

Moreover, the terrifying degree of the lightning storms constantly raging within the field is such that even an ordinary Titled Douluo entering it could only passively defend; otherwise, the only outcome would be to die with resentment.

Yet when it comes to domains, Gu Xuan seems never to have lost.
