Chapter 309: Ninety‑Eighth Level Title Douluo

After hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone sat on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and began cultivating, while the other two deep sea demon whales circled around, and Yang Xiong likewise began sorting the gains beside the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.

By absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million‑year Soul Ring soul bone, Yang Xiong's strength was greatly increased, and his Soul Power Level alone already reached Ninety‑Eighth Level.

It should be noted that when Yang Xiong left Sea God Island, he had already reached Level 92, but had never absorbed a Soul Ring; later he also absorbed two premium dragon bones from the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

After absorbing the million‑year Soul Ring soul bone, his bodily quality was further greatly enhanced; because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was sacrificed, its torso soul bone merged perfectly with his whole body, and the previously missing torso bones are now able to form flawless armor.

Especially the three External Soul Bones, all have reached Ten‑thousand‑year level, and the Ice Fire Dragon Claw has also reached Ten‑thousand‑year level; it not only possesses extreme ice‑fire effects but is also incredibly sharp, comparable to a Divine Artifact.

And the Xuanming Armor finally, under the Heaven Tribulation, completed its metamorphosis, like a turtle‑type soul beast reverting to its ancestor, evolving into the Xuanwu Armor, whose defense reached unimaginable heights.

Under the blood‑red lightning of the World Rule Force, Yang Xiong seemed to undergo Body Tempering once more; his body was broken countless times and restored just as many, as if forged by a thousand hammers, entering a new tier, and even his martial soul entered a new tier.

Now Yang Xiong feels that merely relying on his body, he has already reached the pinnacle of this world and can surpass the Limit Douluo of this world.

The Domain also changed; the original Killing Domain, tempered by the Heaven Tribulation and reinforced by the million‑year Soul Ring, finally attained a true Divine‑level Domain, evolving from the Killing Domain into an Asura Domain.

The crucial Ninth Soul Ring soul bone granted him a full eight soul skills, each with astonishing power, all rare million‑year soul techniques.

Ninth Soul Ring Skill 1: Demon Whale Gaze, a mental‑domain type skill; when used, the enemy is as if in the deep sea, enveloped and restrained by water elements, with their mental power limited.

Ninth Soul Ring Skill 2: Thunder War Glaive; when used, it can condense a hundred‑meter‑long war glaive to strike the enemy, possessing extreme water and Lightning Attributes, able to lock onto the enemy through mental power and trigger a massive thunder explosion.

Ninth Soul Ring Skill 3: Asura Thunder Eradication; when used, it can summon a terrifying heavenly thunder that can destroy heaven and earth.

Ninth Soul Ring Skill 4: Demon Whale Furious Dragon Transformation, an extreme amplification soul skill; after using it, it is like a million‑year demon whale furious dragon possessing him, with power and defense amplified to the extreme, resembling a Divine Sense.

Torso Soul Bone Skill 1: Whale Emperor Guard, which can form a purple armor around the body, granting absolute defensive capability.

Torso Soul Bone Skill 2: Boundless Ocean; when used, one can wield the power of the ocean, countering the enemy with the sea's force and using water elements to trap the foe.

Torso Soul Bone Skill 3: Demon Whale Furious Wave Slash, an extreme single‑target attack skill, condensing water and Lightning Attributes to cut through all defenses.

Torso Soul Bone Skill 4: Demon Whale Mirror Annihilation, a defensive‑control type skill; when used, all surrounding energy turns into deep‑blue crystals that can block and reflect any energy attack, causing the enemy to enter a mirrored world where sight and mental power are completely hindered.

Yang Xiong examined these eight soul skills closely and couldn't help but marvel at their great power, truly worthy of million‑year Soul Ring soul bone skills.

From these eight soul skills, one sees not only mental attack and mental control skills, but also extreme amplification skills, as well as absolute water and Lightning Attribute strong‑attack skills, truly all‑encompassing, each with its own special effect.

Relying solely on these eight million‑year soul techniques, one could fully contend with a Limit Douluo, and if the eight skills were pushed to their utmost, perhaps even challenge a Divine Sense.

When Yang Xiong returned to the Spirit Sea, the originally blood‑red Spirit Sea had undergone a massive change.

In addition to the original Golden Giant, there was now a massive Deep Sea Demon Whale, and countless blood‑red bolts of lightning.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King took the form of a middle‑aged man, appearing considerably softer than before.

"Yang Xiong, I have just transformed into a million‑year Sea Soul Beast and am unaware of the traits of a million‑year Sea Soul Beast, so I made a slight mistake."

Yang Xiong asked puzzled, "What's the problem? I feel my strength has increased dramatically, and I could even fight a god."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded, "Given your current bodily quality and Soul Ring configuration, you can barely reach god‑level strength, but unfortunately I miscalculated."

"Normally, if a million‑year Sea Soul Beast is sacrificed, besides the original Soul Power boost and Soul Ring soul bone skills, it can also grant you an additional non‑attribute martial soul."

"Unfortunately, during the Heaven Tribulation I had no time to think about this, and because I already possess extreme Lightning Attribute, the Heaven Tribulation entered your body and even your soul at that moment, so the second round shattered outright."

"Conversely, the Heaven Tribulation entered the spot of your second martial soul, so now you already wield the power of the Heaven Tribulation—the blood‑red energy within the Spirit Sea—but this energy can only possess, not be absorbed into a Soul Ring."

After hearing this, Yang Xiong carefully sensed the change in his martial soul; the Asura, which was originally his, was now covered with blood‑red lightning, possessing terrifying destructive power, as if the martial soul's innate strength.

Although Yang Xiong had previously mastered Lightning Attribute energy, it was far too weak compared to the power of the Heaven Tribulation.

Now the Asura martial soul's attached Heaven Tribulation power seems to have surpassed even the ultimate Lightning power; this lightning appears to have extreme destructive capability, as if it were the very rules of this world, capable of destroying all things.

Yang Xiong feels that as long as he wields this Heaven Tribulation power, it is as if he controls the world's rules; all things in the world become like ants in his hand.

"Thank you, senior; I am very satisfied and fond of this Heaven Tribulation power. Compared with the so‑called second martial soul, I prefer to use my own strength to solve everything and make my body tougher."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded, "Dual‑born martial souls indeed have certain advantages, but switching between the two remains an issue, not to mention the mutual repulsion between them."

"This Heaven Tribulation is like your second martial soul; although it cannot acquire a Soul Ring, it has already merged with your martial soul and your body, even surpassing the second martial soul, since you no longer lack soul skills or abilities."

Yang Xiong carefully examined the Heaven Tribulation power he now wielded, feeling as if he had undergone the Tribulation's baptism; his whole being seemed to have an additional connection to the Douluo Star's rules, making him more familiar with the world's principles.

After a long pause, Yang Xiong spoke, "Senior, what do you plan to do now? Shall your wife and daughter come with me back to the Body Sect?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought for a moment before replying, "Yang Xiong, I have spent my life vying for the Sea God's throne; I wish to meet the Sea God."

"As for my wife and daughter, follow your arrangement; however, the world is chaotic now, so I'd prefer they stay temporarily in the deep sea, which might be relatively safer. After you become a god, we can make other arrangements for them, and perhaps our family can reunite."

Yang Xiong nodded, "Very well; your wife's strength is actually not inferior to yours. If she remains in the deep sea, even a Divine Sense might not be able to deal with her."

"It happens that I also have business on Sea God Island, so I can take care of it on the way."

Time flew by, and soon three full days had passed.

Under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's communication, the mother‑daughter pair of Deep Sea Demon Whales reluctantly left this place and returned to the deep sea.

Of course, Yang Xiong also specifically told them that before he becomes a god, they must never reveal themselves before the world's people, lest they attract others' covetous eyes.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive corpse emitted powerful Divine Power, attracting countless Sea Soul Beasts, all of which were deterred away by Yang Xiong.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and others trained with all their might around the whale's corpse; the area now seemed like an ocean of Divine Power, with everyone crazily absorbing it, their Soul Power rising at a rapid pace.

In just three days, everyone saw a substantial boost, generally about two levels of Soul Power.

Among them, Ning Rongrong finally reached Level 90; after absorbing the divine‑gifted Soul Ring from the Spirit Sea, her Soul Power rose to Level 91, making her the second Title Douluo in the history of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the world's true continent's first Support Spirit Master.

Oscar rose to Level 89, just one step shy of becoming a Title Douluo; now Oscar is brimming with confidence, believing he can become the first Food System Title Douluo in history.

Elder brother Yang Wei reached Level 88, Shui Bing'er reached Level 84, Huo Wu also reached Level 83, and Feng Xiaotian reached Level 89.

Qin Shuang also reached Level 81.

Yang Xiong looked at the massive corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, took only the whale pearls and whale glue, and left everything else untouched.

According to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's words, he had lived his whole life in the ocean; now that he is dead, his corpse returns to the sea, repaying the ocean's nurture.

Yang Xiong knows very well that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's whale pearls are comparable to the Sea God's Heart as a Divine Artifact, and the whale glue is an exceedingly rare treasure.

It should be noted that given the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's size, the whale glue alone weighs over a thousand jin; if kept in the Body Sect, it could certainly cultivate countless masters.
