Chapter 350: The Great Battle Against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King (Part 2)

Human form!

This also announced that the second round of battle between the two of them was about to begin!

The next second, the layer of blue-purple crystals condensed on the surface of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King exploded with a boom, instantly forming a massive blue-purple vortex in mid-air; the shattered crystals were like blades, filled with tyrannical cutting power, possessing both water and lightning attributes.

These crystals were, in reality, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul cores—dual soul cores of water and lightning attributes.

The power of the two great soul cores contracted rapidly, squeezing crazily amidst violent rotation, compressing continuously, and finally transforming this energy into the purest energy armor!

One can imagine how terrifying the energy contained within an armor condensed and compressed from million-year-level energy must be.

Even with Shi Quan's Divine Soul present, he could only barely see through the core energy within; it was not that Shi Quan had no opportunity to interrupt this compression and condensation process, but if he were to rashly interrupt it, the million-year power compressed to its extreme would instantly become chaotic—not to mention whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could survive, Shi Quan himself would also suffer extremely serious injuries.

"Kid, you have angered me." The blue-purple light converged, and a middle-aged man with a rustic face appeared in mid-air.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King cannot gain the advantage even on your home turf; now that you have taken human form and come into the air, having lost the geographical advantage, why do you think you will win?"

Shi Quan's voice was calm; the man and the whale stood in confrontation in the air, neither side yielding an inch in their gaze.

"Besides, I have armor too!" Scanning the armor condensed from energy on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, Shi Quan's voice paused slightly before sounding again.

Black and white armor emerged on the surface of Shi Quan's body, enveloping him—magnificent, imposing, and grand.

"Then let's see if your armor is harder or mine is harder!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a low roar, his right hand raised abruptly, and purple light orbs appeared around his body; in just an instant, they blanketed an area of several hundred square meters.

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

A piercing sound of breaking air rang out; from condensation to release, it took only the time of a single breath, and those thousands of purple light orbs came crashing toward Shi Quan like a meteor shower, their speed so fast it could only be described as lightning-quick.

Although he could not win the battle for energy, when it came to the sheer abundance of his own energy, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feared neither man nor beast! Even Di Tian was slightly inferior to him!

Shi Quan had no intention of dodging at all; his powerful Divine Sense spread out directly, and with a wave of his hand, streaks of dark, dull flowing light flew out instantly.

Strange to say, the moment these streaks of light made contact with the purple light orbs, the purple light orbs instantly collapsed and then exploded with a boom.

Boom, boom, boom!

The purple light orbs exploded rapidly in the air, one after another!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression changed slightly; he had intended to use his superior energy and the explosive power of his lightning-attribute attacks to blow Shi Quan to death.

However, these lightning beads exploded directly before they even touched Shi Quan, their power greatly discounted. He noticed that those dark streaks of light did not possess strong energy, but the moment his lightning beads made contact, those streaks of light seemed to contain a distorted gravity, causing the stable power within the lightning beads to collapse directly and then explode.

How exquisite and vast must one's Mental Power be to utilize soul power so cleverly.

Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not help but be startled, and it was during this moment of surprise that the lightning beads in mid-air had all exploded, once again revealing Shi Quan, who was enveloped in a jade-green barrier.

Although the momentum was startling, these lightning beads had not even made contact, so the offensive power they caused was naturally limited, and in the end, they did not cause any damage to Shi Quan.

Just as Shi Quan was revealed, a giant blue dragon, wrapped in a golden light, flew out from amidst the lightning!

Life Dragon Soul! It was precisely the soul skill brought to Shi Quan by the Azure Bull Python, and at the same time, it was infused with the Gravity Domination amplification from the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan and the Titan Giant Ape soul bone.

"Break for me!"

A massive purple light appeared behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; watching the green dragon charging viciously toward him, the purple light transformed into a giant phantom of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, and as he threw a punch, the giant head of the phantom crashed over ferociously.

Boom—the giant whale head slammed fiercely into the green dragon; the energy the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had accumulated over a million years was undoubtedly massive, and the moment the fist and dragon touched, the giant green dragon on the periphery of the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan instantly dissipated.

But how could the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan, which had absorbed a massive amount of Faith Power, be so easily blocked? Nourished by the Faith Power, the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan already belonged to the existence of a Divine Artifact; the sharp blade pierced directly through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's armor.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's reaction and combat experience were undoubtedly rich; the moment he felt a stinging pain in his fist, he threw another punch, directly knocking the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan flying away.

"It's actually a Divine Artifact!" The shock in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression deepened, and he then roared, "Don't think that just because you have a Divine Artifact you can win against me!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw that although Shi Quan's soul power was not as thick as his own, his application was extremely exquisite; coupled with this powerful Divine Artifact, it was almost impossible to win through long-range energy superiority, especially since Shi Quan was still continuously absorbing the power of the ocean to replenish himself.

A loud, resonant long howl was emitted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth, and a massive Deep Sea Demon Whale phantom emerged; appearing at the same time was a streak of white energy like a ribbon.

"Dan energy?" Raising his hand to summon, as the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan flew back at high speed, a Vertical Eye Demon Pattern appeared between Shi Quan's brows, blood light gestated, and the next second the blood light transformed into a blood-colored beam of light that flew directly toward that white energy!

External Spirit Bone Evil Eye, soul bone skill, Destruction Light!

Boom—

The blood-colored beam of light directly enveloped the white energy, and everything it touched dissolved.

The Dan energy spat out from his mouth was forcibly dissolved by Shi Quan's beam of Destruction Light, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body also shook violently, a trace of blood-red color flashing in the depths of his eyes; he was clearly affected.

He had thought the Divine Artifact was Shi Quan's trump card, but he had not expected Shi Quan to have such a powerful destructive soul skill.

An angry roar erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth, but he could only roar powerlessly; seeing the Dan energy destroyed, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: the massive Deep Sea Demon Whale phantom behind him condensed into a giant light orb, then detached from his main body, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into two giant purple war hammers!

Unable to gain an advantage in long-range consumption, he made a decisive choice: close-quarters combat. He had intended to infuse his own Dan energy into these purple war hammers to enhance their power enough to contend with the might of the Divine Artifact, but he had not expected Shi Quan to seem to see through his thoughts, forcibly erasing his Dan energy and rendering his plans void!

Now he could only settle for the next best thing, fusing his own power into the giant hammers, his entire body's energy completely internalized, as he flew toward Shi Quan at high speed.

"Close-quarters combat is your most mistaken choice!" Brilliant light erupted in Shi Quan's eyes, his figure flashed to keep up, and the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand shimmered with golden light.

Seeing that the two were about to collide, Shi Quan's body flashed like a phantom; the Deep Sea Demon Whale King only felt his vision blur, and Shi Quan had already arrived at his side, the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand slashing diagonally, the sharp blade already reaching his waist.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not dodge or evade, letting Shi Quan's Xuanyuan slash toward his waist, while his arms swung the purple giant hammers high, smashing them fiercely toward Shi Quan's chest.

How could Shi Quan not see through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's thoughts? Knowing his weapon held no advantage, he would naturally suffer in a head-on collision, so relying on the powerful physical strength of his Spirit Beast body, he chose to trade injury for injury; he wanted to see who could hold out until the end.

Just as Shi Quan had said, close-quarters combat was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's most mistaken choice!

The Xuanyuan longsword lifted upward, instantly erupting with a powerful attractive force.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly felt a strange force forcibly deflecting his twin hammers.

After the sharp blade left a scratch on the giant hammer, it slashed rapidly toward the palm of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King that was gripping the handle.

A sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks of energy explosion erupted from the armor on his palm, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hurriedly swung the other hammer to smash at Shi Quan.

The agile and sharp Xuanyuan long blade immediately traced a graceful arc in the air.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pair of purple giant hammers had no technique at all; their only strength lay in their sheer force and weight.

Before Shi Quan, a master of martial arts, this was undoubtedly a child brandishing a sword before Shi Quan, completely an act of showing off one's meager skills before an expert; in every move, in Shi Quan's eyes, there were nothing but flaws!

"Admit defeat, you are no match for me!"

The sharp blade slashed again; in just three exchanges, fresh red blood dripped from his right palm, and Shi Quan had directly disarmed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King of the purple giant hammer in his right hand.

"Damn it!" A fiercer light shone in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes. "Hah!" With a loud shout, the purple light on his body surged, "Demon Abyss Roaring Sea!" Terrifying energy exploded, and the surrounding purple-gold light instantly erupted like a geyser, as he tried to forcibly widen the distance between himself and Shi Quan.

In the previous confrontations, he could still contend to some degree, but after the close-quarters melee, from beginning to end, he was completely and utterly crushed.

Life Protection Shield!

A jade-green light barrier emerged around Shi Quan, neutralizing the rampaging energy. At the same time, the Holy Dragon Eight Wings behind him erupted with brilliant radiance, and his left leg simultaneously burst forth with dark green light; the light instantly bound the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like strands of vines!

"Domain skill, Instant Ten Thousand Years!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had just intended to retreat, suddenly felt the circulation of energy within his body stall abruptly.

The next second, a brilliant golden light tore through the air from within the energy tide, grazing past his neck.

Excruciating pain immediately assaulted his body, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King subconsciously covered his neck.

"I have already held back," Shi Quan's voice came. "Otherwise, your other eye would also be blinded."

"Shut up!" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared. How could the arrogant him be willing to lose to a young human like this? Purple lightning arcs crackled all around him.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I know you are unwilling, but this battle should also come to an end." As his words fell, a massive figure materialized from the void behind Shi Quan, and a terrifyingly extreme mental pressure erupted along with the Dragon Spine in Shi Quan's hand.

"To tell you the truth, my Soul Soul has already reached a Shiji breakthrough, and my martial soul has been cultivated to the limit. The only gap between me and you is the accumulation of soul power. In every other aspect, I am not weaker than you, and even stronger than you. The Blue Silver Emperor Tree martial soul used to fight you is not even my strongest martial soul."

"Do you think you still have the capital to contend with me?" Between raising his hands, powerful Divine Soul energy permeated outward, and a brilliant golden Magic Pattern vertical eye emerged in the center of his brow.

Fate's Wound!

Soul Deprivation!

These two soul skills were precisely the soul skills brought by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Deprive physical defense, deprive soul defense.

"Damn it!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gritted his teeth, hurriedly turning and flashing to dodge, while diving down toward the sea. Because of the martial soul switch, the sea of vines in the ocean had disappeared; if he entered the sea, he would still have a chance to resist!

Powerful Divine Soul energy locked onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and two brilliant golden lights instantly enveloped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Ah!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a painful roar. The powerful mental pressure suddenly gave the Deep Sea Demon Whale King a feeling of his head splitting with pain. His entire body radiated an unprecedented feeling of weakness; the armor condensed from soul power seemed to disappear, and his Soul Soul was trembling even more.

Mental Power condensed into substance churned within Shi Quan's eyes, and an unprecedented sense of death crisis instantly permeated the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's heart and chest, making his spine go cold. He had a premonition that he could not withstand Shi Quan's mental attack.

"I surrender!"

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King ultimately spat out these three words in despair.

The churning Mental Power solidified, and then slowly dissipated.

Shi Quan withdrew his Divine Soul energy, looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and said, "A bet is a bet. You should know what to do next, Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised his eyes to look at Shi Quan's slowly descending figure, his gaze complex. "Lost is lost. I will naturally abide by the bet."

"This is the method for the evolution of a Soul Spirit. When the time comes, I will hide in the shadows and will not appear. You will transform your own power into a Soul Spirit yourself, and then become the power for my beloved. This should not be difficult for you."

Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could autonomously transform into a Soul Spirit; with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength, it was naturally not difficult to achieve this.

"No problem." After accepting the information transmitted by Shi Quan, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also nodded in agreement.

Life Essence surged, helping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fully recover the injuries in his body, after which the surrounding sky also returned to normal.

"Hibernate well. In the future, you will be glad that I gave you this choice, and you will also understand what kind of opportunity this is for you."

As his words fell, Shi Quan's figure also disappeared from where he stood.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at the departing Shi Quan, his expression complex. "Perhaps he really can lead the world toward something higher."

Accompanied by a long groan, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King once again transformed into a massive figure, crashing into the sea surface. After stirring up countless surging waves, he quietly submerged into the deep sea. No one or Spirit Beast knew that such an intense battle had just erupted above this sea area...
