Chapter 359: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King

"What is it?"

The Fire God and the Sea God both looked toward Asura.

The Asura God raised his head and said, "Besides the three of us finding successors on the Douluo Continent, those three fellows—Devour, Angel, and Rakshasa—have also found successors on the continent. Although the Douluo Continent is a high-energy world, this is the first time so many successors have appeared all at once."

The Sea God waved his hand and said, "I actually think it's quite normal. After all, ten thousand years ago, both that fellow Angel and I became gods by relying on the power of Faith. High-energy worlds are naturally prone to producing existences that comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and reach the level of a deity, not to mention that the Douluo Continent is among the top tier of the many high-energy worlds."

Asura shook his head. "That may be so, but I always feel there is something not quite right about the Douluo Continent. Although there is no evidence for now, it is better to observe it a bit more just in case, so as to avoid any oversights."

The Sea God said, "I think it's just that you don't want to let yourself be too idle. Forget it, forget it; if you don't want to go, then the two of us brothers will go."

The Sea God pulled the Fire God and vanished from the spot, and Asura also turned into a streak of red light and vanished from the spot.

Sea God Island.

The three women stared blankly at Bo Saixi's face, which looked as aged as a candle flickering in the wind, and they all sighed inwardly. Because they all knew the reason for this; there is no greater sorrow in the world than a dead heart.

Today, they had come specifically to bid farewell to Bo Saixi.

They had waited a full week for this day; it was only after Bo Saixi had buried Tang Chen that they came.

Everyone had long since made preparations, and after bidding farewell to Bo Saixi, they set off for the seaside without a moment's delay.

The azure Sea God's Light merged into the seawater, and summoned by it, Xiaobai appeared in everyone's field of vision with over a dozen Great White Shark Spirit Beasts in just a moment.

"Lingling, are you leaving Sea God Island?" Xiaobai's massive shark head emerged.

"Yes, we'll have to trouble you on the way, Xiaobai."

"It's nothing."

Previously, Ye Lingling had made a special trip to the coast to discuss the matter of leaving Sea God Island with Xiaobai.

Knowing that Ye Lingling had pulled out the Sea God Trident, Xiaobai's attitude had become even more respectful, so she had agreed immediately.

Everyone sat one after another on the backs of the Great White Shark Spirit Beasts. Of course, this excluded Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, as they both had their own Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast mounts.

"Take care on the way." Shi Jian and Li Meili waved goodbye to everyone on the shore.

They did not choose to leave; they liked the relaxed and comfortable life on Sea God Island. Returning to the continent would only make Shi Quan worry, so it was better to just stay on Sea God Island with peace of mind.

After waving goodbye to Shi Quan's parents, everyone felt as if their hearts were flying toward home.

The speed of the Great White Shark Spirit Beasts in the sea was truly terrifying, especially under the leadership of Xiaobai. As the King of the Great White Shark Spirit Beasts, Xiaobai was naturally one of the overlords of the sea. Although they had left their own territory and were constantly passing through the territories of various Sea Soul Beasts, those Sea Soul Beasts all scattered and avoided them, clearing a path for fear of angering these sea overlords.

Of course, there was one special place, and that was the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Even Xiaobai did not dare to rush into the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and could only choose to detour.

After traveling rapidly for two days under the blowing sea breeze, Ye Lingling's excited voice suddenly came, "Xiaobai, stop for a moment."

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, who were to the side, also looked toward the other side of the ocean with equal surprise.

"Xiaobai, which direction are we going from?"

Following the direction Ye Lingling pointed, Xiaobai's expression paused, and she said with a solemn look, "Lingling, that direction is the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Aren't you returning to the continent? Are you going to complete the Eighth Trial now?"

Ye Lingling looked back at the others and said, "Xiaobai, let your clansmen take Yu Feng and the others back to the continent first. Since we're already here, we might as well go and test the waters first."

"Lingling, wouldn't that be a bit too rushed?" Yu Feng said.

"It's fine, you all go back first. Don't you trust our strength? Don't worry, we'll meet up on the continent later."

"Then you all take care." Since Ye Lingling had said so, the others could not say much more.

Ye Lingling gripped the Sea God Trident in her hand and said to Xiaobai, "Let's go, Xiaobai."

Seeing Ye Lingling's persistence, Xiaobai could only turn around and swim toward the Demon Whale Sea Area.

Deep in the ocean of the Demon Whale Sea Area.

A white figure slowly opened his eyes; it was Shi Quan.

After bidding farewell to Xue Qinghe in Wuhun City, Shi Quan had come to this Demon Whale Sea Area to cultivate in peace while waiting for the arrival of Ye Lingling and the others.

The seabed deep within the area specifically chosen by the million-year Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, naturally had its own mysteries. Deep within this sea area was a massive trench; the trench seemed like a giant dragon coiling in the depths of the seabed, a uniquely gifted place for gathering treasures.

Although not as exaggerated as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the concentration of energy within it reached a staggering ten times that of the outside world!

It was no wonder that a million-year Spirit Beast like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would appear, and in the future, its wife would even become the Demon Empress.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had entered his territory; as the absolute overlord, how could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not have noticed?

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King arrive, Shi Quan nodded slightly and said, "Rest assured, as long as you wait for my beloved to become the Sea God, you will also be able to become a deity. By then, you will still have plenty of opportunities to reunite with your beloved."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had just come from his wife and, after looking at Shi Quan with a complex gaze, said, "I hope so."

"Naturally." Shi Quan nodded.

Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King took one last deep look at Shi Quan before turning around and swimming toward the surface of the sea.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is here!" Xiaobai's expression changed abruptly, and her figure stopped dead in its tracks.

The clear ocean gradually began to change; the originally sky-blue seawater gradually became deep and dark, and the waves within the Demon Whale Sea Area began to turn violent!

Boom!

The sound of the ocean roaring came from the surface, and the massive figure of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King emerged above the water.

Xiaobai's twenty-meter body looked like a child in front of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, which exceeded two hundred meters.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's blue-crystal-like skin shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight, and a single eye coldly sized up the three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and the three women not far away.

A terrifyingly extreme sense of pressure permeated the heavens and earth.

"You are the successor of the Sea God." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive eye stared fixedly at Ye Lingling.

"You know me?"

"How could I not recognize the person chosen by the Sea God?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sneered, but the sound of his laughter was exceptionally unpleasant. When he saw Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, the unpleasant laughter stopped abruptly, and he said with a look of shock, "There are actually two other deity successors?"

The two women were not surprised by this; after all, he was a million-year Spirit Beast, so it was normal for him to be more knowledgeable.

In the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive pupils, there was first shock, followed by anger. "You have accepted the Sea God's trials? What are your trials?"

"Our trial is to assist Lingling in hunting you down," Zhu Zhuqing said without any hesitation, stating their Eighth Trial.

"A fine Sea God!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice, filled with extreme rage, resounded through the heavens and earth, and his massive body thrashed violently in the ocean, instantly kicking up terrifying giant waves hundreds of meters high.

"This is forcing me into a dead end!"

How could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not understand what it meant to be the successor of three God Positions?

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had lost in the previous exchange with Shi Quan, it still felt a sense of unwillingness deep down; but now, seeing the three God Position successors arranged by the Sea God surrounding it, that unwillingness in its heart completely turned into anger and hatred toward the previous Sea God.

Xiaobai struggled to stabilize her figure amidst the wind and waves, and seeing that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not take the initiative to launch an attack, she did not dare to make any rash moves.

"Sea God, if you want me dead, it won't be that easy!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared toward the sky. After venting the anger in its heart, it looked at Ye Lingling and said, "Has your human world developed a special Spirit Soul Method that allows Spirit Beasts to reach a contract and symbiosis with Spirit Masters in another special way?"

"That's right!" Ye Lingling nodded.

"Good!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King lowered its head to look at Ye Lingling. "The Sea God setting such a trial for you is leaving me no way to live. Even if you are not my match right now, I cannot kill you either. With your talent, if the three of you join forces, I will surely be defeated in the future. Rather than dying at your hands like that, I might as well fight for a glimmer of survival for myself."

Ye Lingling revealed a surprised expression and said, "So, what do you mean?"

Xiaobai also thought of something and stared at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in shock.

"I am willing to become your Soul Spirit. Using my strength to transform into a Soul Spirit for you to absorb will bring you benefits far greater than the benefits of you killing me to absorb my Soul Ring." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's resolute voice came through.

Xiaobai was also stunned and frozen on the spot. Did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King just give up its life so easily? But if one were to put oneself in its shoes, this seemed to be its best choice. Facing an inevitable death, who wouldn't want to continue living and fight for a glimmer of survival?

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly said, "However, you must promise me one condition: after you become a god, do not restrict my freedom. Otherwise, even if I self-destruct now, I will not fulfill your wishes."

"I can agree to that." Ye Lingling agreed directly.

"Good! Then accept my power!" A powerful purple light suddenly erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body. The light transformed into a pillar of light that enveloped Ye Lingling, then guided her as she slowly landed on its head.

Terrifying energy ravaged the heavens and the earth.

"This is!" In the God Realm, the Sea God's movements paused.

"What's wrong?" The Fire God on the side looked at the Sea God in confusion. "What? Is there a problem with the successors?"

The Sea God raised his hand and waved. Under the rapid condensation of water-blue light, it transformed into a huge light mirror. Reflected in the light mirror was the scene of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King voluntarily becoming Ye Lingling's Soul Spirit.

"Hmm? Isn't this Spirit Beast the target you gave them for their Eighth Trial? Why has it voluntarily become the power of your successor?" The Fire God looked curiously at the scene reflected in the light mirror.

The Sea God was also full of surprise. "I didn't expect it to develop like this. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's character was very unyielding back then. I didn't expect that when facing true death, it would still choose to submit."

"I don't know whether to say this little girl is lucky, or you are lucky. With the power of this Spirit Beast, you should be able to be free before long."

The Fire God looked at the Sea God with envy and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, don't you dare reduce my trial rewards. Although my successor didn't make a move, if it weren't for her, how could that Spirit Beast have so easily become this little girl's power? So, she still has a share of the credit. Make sure the rewards that should be given are given in full."

The Sea God looked helpless. "Rest assured, the successor of that guy, Asura, is also there."

"Top Eight Trials, Eighth Trial completed. By relying on your own powerful strength and firm will, you have passed all trials. All Eight Trials passed. Obtained Red Level Authority of Sea God Island, granted the authority of Second Priest. Reward: two levels of soul power, all Soul Ring cultivation increased by five thousand years, one Divine Power Marrow Cleansing."

Listening to the prompts in their minds, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both looked happy. Neither of them expected this Eighth Trial to be so simple. Feeling the increase in their strength, while they were still wondering what Divine Power Marrow Cleansing was, the marks between their eyebrows both underwent strange changes.

Blood-red light and fire-red light suddenly spread out from between the two women's eyebrows. A powerful sense of pressure, accompanied by a scorching, burning sensation, spread through the two women's meridians. The two women only felt as if the flesh and meridians in their bodies were burning.

Under the impact of the energy, their muscles and blood seemed to have gone through thousands of hammerings, rendered with a faint layer of gold. The toughness of their physical bodies reached an unprecedented level.

"Is this Divine Power Marrow Cleansing?" After a long time, the two women slowly regained their senses. After looking at each other, they understood that the other had received the same reward as herself.

Their bodies had now reached the Shiji level, and the degree of transformation was over fifty percent.

Besides this, their compatibility with their own Divine Power had also increased by a level, which would be of great help when they inherited their God Positions later.

After the Ninth Soul Ring evolved, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's soul power levels both reached Level 92.

Because Zhu Zhuqing obtained the recognition of the Asura Demon Sword and received feedback from the energy within it, her strength climbed by two levels directly, reaching 94.

Added to the increase in soul power level, Dugu Yan's strength reached Level 94 directly.

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power even reached Level 96 directly.

On the other side, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already begun the fusion with Ye Lingling.

The powerful Soul Spirit had just entered the spiritual sea when it immediately discovered the other two great Soul Spirits in Ye Lingling's mind.

Bingdi, Xuedi!

"Welcome," Xuedi said coldly.

Bingdi did not have a good expression. After all, the original spiritual sea was the territory of her and Xuedi. The addition of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was equivalent to an extra outsider to her. In the future, it would not be so easy for her to be alone with Xuedi.

Who told Bingdi to still have some ulterior motives toward Xuedi.
