Hunting the Evil Orca King

"There's only one possibility why the Evil Spirit Orca has disappeared... their corpses have all been collected! And only those land-based Soul Master could do that! They used Storage Soul Tool to collect the Evil Spirit Orca's corpses!"

Xiula Nuo made his judgment.

"It's... those poachers!"

The yellow-robed Soul Master who questioned Xiula Nuo revealed an angry expression.

According to the residents around Sea God Island, the chosen Sea Soul Master who pass the test can never leave Sea God Island for the rest of their lives and must continue to worship the Sea God on the island.

But the reality is certainly not like that.

Even if it's just to better maintain order at sea, they must maintain communication with the outside world.

Therefore, the Soul Master of Sea God Island often receive orders from the Sacred Pillar or even the Great Enshrinement to go out on missions, and they often land on surrounding islands to check the situation and gather intelligence from other Sea Soul Beast.

However, they changed their clothes, and since those who were able to go out on missions were all Soul Master who had been cultivating in seclusion on Sea God Island for at least several decades, even if there were acquaintances from the past, they would not be able to recognize them.

Naturally, no one knew their true identities.

As generations of those who failed the Sea God Island test left the Sea God Island, the stories passed down through word of mouth only served to highlight the Sea God Island's mystique, sacredness, and sublimity.

Distance brings beauty, and ignorance breeds faith. This is exactly what it means.

You Chen frowned slightly.

Judging from their conversation, it was the Sea Dragon Douluo who noticed the strange situation here and sent this group of Sea Soul Master to check it out.

The Evil Orca King could appear at any moment, You Chen didn't want any complications at this time.

It wouldn't be difficult to deduce that other Soul Master had been in the vicinity. However, if this small team were to get caught up in the upcoming battle and die here, it's hard to guarantee that Sea God Island wouldn't assume they were killed by land-based Soul Master...

At least at this stage, it is not the time to have a direct conflict with Sea God Island.

If Sea God Island had not confirmed the identity of the person suspected of murdering their companion, it would be easy to imagine that they would have turned their anger on other land-based Soul Master.

This is naturally detrimental to You Chen's plans.

Instantly, an immense pressure descended upon the entire rocky island.

The Soul Master on Sea God Island immediately changed their expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I've come to hunt down that Evil Orca King. Retreat quickly, or you'll be caught in the battle and die. Don't blame me if you don't get a warning."

The deep, resonant voice directly entered the minds of the Sea Soul Master through their spiritual power.

This...

'This spiritual power... who is this expert? The pressure they exert on me feels even stronger than that of Sea Dragon Saint Pillar Lord!'

The purple-clad Sea Soul Master Xiula Nuo, was shocked.

Xiula Nuo was still able to think clearly, while the other yellow-clad Sea Soul Master were all lying on the ground in fear, trembling all over.

"This... sir!"

Xiula Nuo spoke with some difficulty, unable to ascertain the other party's exact cultivation level or rank, so he simply used a form of address that would never be wrong, saying, "Could you—"

"Get out of here immediately! Don't make me repeat myself!"

The intensified Kamui caused Xiula Nuo to kneel on the ground, his face pale and his breathing rapid.

Xiula Nuo felt his consciousness fading, and he entered a completely vast and empty space, where time seemed to stretch out infinitely.

It's unclear how much time passed before the Kamui pressure finally dissipated.

Just now it was sunset, and the intensity of the light has not changed. Only then did Xiula Nuo realize that the seemingly long and suffocating time was actually just an illusion he had under too much pressure.

'I... I'm Soul Master who passed the Purple Level Assessment! I haven't even seen him, yet his mere aura alone gives me this terrifying illusion. Just how terrifying is this outsider's strength!?'

"Walk!"

Thinking of this, he dared not linger there any longer and turned to leave.

One of the yellow-robed Sea Soul Master, who had never experienced Xiula Nuo's feelings, looked up in confusion. "But, Lord Xiula Nuo, haven't we found out anything yet?"

"I said let's go, didn't you hear me!"

Xiula Nuo's face darkened as he said, "I am fully in charge of this operation, A De La Ke. Are you disobeying orders?!"

What idiots! Can't they see that this situation is completely beyond their capabilities?!

A De La Ke bowed his head in a panic. "I'm sorry, Xiula Nuo."

While the others did not experience the same terror that Xiula Nuo felt, they each felt the same sense of being out of their minds that they had just experienced.

They believed that Xiula Nuo, as Soul Sage, should be able to withstand that level of Kamui, but seeing that Xiula Nuo was also drenched in sweat and looked terrified, they knew that the Kamui they were experiencing was probably completely different...

So no one spoke recklessly like A De La Ke, and they obeyed Xiula Nuo's orders, quickly leaving the area.

Sensing the departure of Xiula Nuo and the others, You Chen withdrew his attention.

Although the possibility is low, we should still avoid the possibility that the nearby Sea Dragon Douluo might come and cause trouble after hearing his subordinate's report.

You Chen decided to stop waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out and instead began sending out his clones to actively search for them.

Although the Evil Orca King died a very unsatisfying death in the original story.

According to Tang San's description, it was not only a super Soul Beast (a top-tier bloodline Soul Beast), but also had the sea buff, yet it was ultimately forced to self-destruct by Tang San, who was only Soul Sage at the time...

However, this outcome was ultimately due to a combination of factors.

Its own clan was almost completely wiped out by the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, but if it really wanted to escape, it could definitely do so.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, was already inferior to it in strength. Even with Tang San's domain amplification, it was at most on par with the Evil Orca King.

Just as it is difficult for Titled Douluo of similar strength to defeat each other, and even more difficult to kill one another, it is also difficult for Soul Beast of the same level to kill each other.

But... what good will it do to escape this time?

His companion was almost dead, and the other side had the help of the Sea God Inheritance. He couldn't even rule out the possibility that the Titled Douluo of Sea God Island would also intervene after he was injured.

Given the Evil Orca King's pride, rather than hiding like a rat afterward, he might as well just go and fight those who wiped out his race!

It directly self-destructed, severely damaging the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan and killing the inheritor of the Sea God it hated!

It could even be said that the proportion of its extinction was far less than the hatred it harbored for the Sea God!

However... no matter what, its self-destruction was a bit premature, and the timing was hard to predict.

The possibility of low IQ cannot be ruled out.

But You Chen didn't have that many buffs, and he was all alone. There was no reason for the Evil Orca King to be in good condition and suddenly explode against him.

You Chen wouldn't gamble on the Evil Orca King doing anything stupid; instead, he treated it as a normal super Soul Beast with the strength of Super Douluo.

Compared to Soul Master of the same level, the biggest advantage of Soul Beast is their immense vitality.

Just like when You Chen attacked Er Ming with the Emperor Golden Sword, it seemed to have caused Er Ming considerable damage. However, for someone of Er Ming's enormous size, such an injury was about the same as a normal person having a piece of skin torn off.

This is also why the Da Ming allowed You Chen to "teach" Er Ming a lesson.

Er Ming losing so much blood, Erming actually suffered less damage than the punch You Chen delivered when he was in his enhanced state with the Emperor Golden Body.

The Evil Orca King is similar.

You Chen didn't think that the Evil Orca King, whose guardian beast Demon Soul Great White Shark King, was stronger than the Sea God Island, would be so easily killed.

Therefore, You Chen thought of taking advantage of his fatigue and waiting for the opportune moment to maintain his peak condition.

Anyway, the Evil Orca King will definitely come here, so this is a sure-fire way to wait for its prey to come to us.

But now that things might get complicated, You Chen decided to waste some energy exploring.

Once You Chen begins its active search, it's equivalent to deploying multiple ultra-wide-range radars, making the search efficiency impossible to be low.

Furthermore, the Demon Evil Orca King was indeed actively moving in this direction, and within just half an hour, You Chen had located its trail.

"Um?"

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

Just as You Chen's clone discovered the Evil Orca King, the Evil Orca King also suddenly turned its head to look over.

A blue wave shot out at lightning speed, and the clone was instantly broken apart by the wave, causing You Chen to lose sight of it.

'That's true. Even with the Aura Concealment Art, it's impossible to conceal mental power when probing with it. Furthermore, the Evil Spirit Orca inherently possesses Mental Attribute, so its mental power is definitely not weak. It's quite normal that it detected my Starlight Avatar.'

While silently analyzing the situation, You Chen disintegrated the three clones that had completely deviated from the location of the Evil Orca King, and controlled the other two clones to dive into the ocean and swim towards the location of the Evil Orca King.

If you don't use your mental powers and just rely on your senses to observe, the probability of being discovered is greatly reduced.

You Chen himself also began to take the initiative.

On the other side, the Evil Orca King also frowned slightly.

'Not his true form, but a clone? He even managed to deflect my attack for a moment; one can only imagine the strength of his true form.'

A fierce glint flashed in the Evil Orca King's eyes: 'There's no mistake, this human Soul Master must be related to the tribe I can't contact over there!'

In an instant, a powerful spiritual force spread out.

The Evil Orca King unleashed its full mental power and began a thorough search of the surrounding area.

As expected, they gained nothing.

If the Evil Orca King had a calmer personality, it would most likely have stopped at this point. However, given the Evil Spirit Orca's nature, which is tinged with evil and violence, it is impossible for it to stop now.

As a spirit Soul Beast with the attributes of water and spirit, and also possessing a trace of Evil God King, the brutal nature of the Evil Spirit Orca has been etched into its bloodline.

It would not tolerate a human Soul Master who dared to threaten its own kind and even come to explore its tracks.

Ten minutes later, one of You Chen's Starlight Avatar had swum with the ocean current to a distance where it could see the Evil Orca King with the naked eye.

The Evil Orca King's spiritual power swept across the area, but it treated You Chen's avatar as ordinary marine debris and found nothing.

Upon seeing this scene, You Chen's heart stirred slightly.

'Unlike me, who has Mental Soul Core, it doesn't waste spiritual energy like this. It does save me some trouble, though.'

You Chen's lips curled up slightly.

A few minutes later, the real person, who had also dived into the sea, arrived at the scene.

Meanwhile, the Evil Orca King, having searched in vain for so long, was churning the seas and destroying everything around him in order to vent his anger.

Even if You Chen used his mental power to probe, he couldn't estimate the opponent's mental power consumption unless he invaded the opponent's mental sea. But You Chen didn't need to do that step to judge that the Evil Orca King's mental power consumption was definitely not small.

The biggest piece of evidence is that... it no longer uses its mental power to probe over a wide area.

That's about it.

You Chen Xin pondered silently, already Simulation in his mind the scene of aiming at the Evil Orca King.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

'Right now!'

A glint suddenly flashed in You Chen's eyes. He leaped out of the sea, and Barrett Sniper Rifle appeared in his hand. Thousands of meters away, the Evil Orca King's body, which was over thirty meters long, was still clear in his eyes.

Although this sniper rifle has undergone subsequent optimizations, it is essentially something that was created by using rare materials to advance the technology tree. To avoid errors caused by water ingress, You Chen still chose to jump out of the water.

Although the Evil Orca King had reduced the range of its spiritual power, it still noticed You Chen, who had already revealed his killing intent, immediately thanks to the keen wild instincts of Soul Beast.

However, those who have been assassinated by You Chen know that it was too late the moment You Chen revealed his murderous intent!

The penetrating warhead, which had been prepared in advance and sealed the "Blazing Yang Spring" in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, was loaded ahead of schedule!

Since You Chen knew that Tang San's "poisoning" technique was effective against the Evil Spirit Orca, You Chen naturally wouldn't abandon it.

When faced with an enemy who is undoubtedly on the same level as oneself, it is only reasonable to use any means necessary.

With a sharp sonic boom, the bullet struck the Evil Orca King even realized what was happening!

Since the goal is to inject toxins, the kind of cannon-like hit effect is certainly not what You Chen is aiming for.

Therefore, he specifically chose a penetrating bullet.

Given the size of the Evil Orca King, even if the bullet has strong penetrating power, there is no need to worry about it being completely pierced.

The extremely potent toxins spread rapidly throughout the body of the Evil Orca King.

"Roar!!!"

The Evil Orca King let out an extremely mournful cry. Unlike its previous acts of venting its emotions, it was now churning the seas to release its pain.

You Chen's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he activated his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a giant white dragon nearly ten meters long.

Its size is comparable to that of the Wind Conquest Dragon that You Chen once hunted, and the range of its every move is enough to pose a clear threat to the enormous Evil Orca King.

You Chen knew that although the Evil Orca King appeared miserable, it was only in unbearable pain.

This extreme yang poison wouldn't even kill a top-tier Soul Beast that's been around for 100,000 years.

After the Evil Orca King's body circulates and metabolizes, it will soon recover to most of its original state.

His task was to complete the kill before the deadline arrived!

Rumble—!

The massive body, nearly ten meters tall, produced a thunderous sonic boom as it flew at supersonic speeds.

In the blink of an eye, You Chen, transformed into a white dragon, arrived in front of the Evil Orca King.

In the Martial Soul Avatar Form, to maximize the speed and power amplified by this state, there is no need to use any other Soul Ring or Soul Skill.

Wind-type Soul Skill have gradually fallen behind You Chen's strength. Even the physical-type Soul Skill Wind Movement Fist and Wind Cloud Movement, which he used as his normal means of output half a year ago, are no longer as powerful as his fists that are directly imbued with the Stardust Power.

Therefore, You Chen directly concentrated the Stardust Power into his fists and used the fist and Soul Skill, which were developed based on the Wind and Wind Cloud Movement but were not yet fully perfected or named.

A barrage of dazzling starlight attacks rained down on the Evil Orca King, like meteors falling at breakneck speed.

The Evil Orca King let out an even more painful scream.

However, under You Chen's attack, perhaps due to the threat to his life, an adrenaline-like mechanism came into play, temporarily suppressing the pain, and the Evil Orca King finally launched a counterattack against You Chen.

However, the fact that the Evil Orca King was weakened by the poison did not change. In his hasty attack, You Chen easily dodged it with his extreme speed.

'Where did this freak come from?! Is he another new servant of that Sea God?!'

Feeling his injuries worsening, the Evil Orca King felt a surge of panic.

No longer caring about avenging his clansmen, he had already decided to flee for his life.

After sensing that the effects of the toxins on his body were unexpectedly weakened quickly, the Evil Orca King still pretended to be greatly affected. Suddenly, it released a spiral energy wave from its huge, deep red eyes, which hit You Chen directly.

A wave of dizziness washed over him. This was not a simple mental attack, but rather an energy attack condensed from the violent power of the Evil Orca King's Evil Domain.

Therefore, even with You Chen's mental strength, he still couldn't avoid falling into a brief state of dizziness.

However, the Sacrifice Sanctuary of You Chen is equally formidable, and any negative status effect can weaken its resistance.

However, by the time You Chen quickly regained consciousness, the Evil Orca King's attack had already arrived and was unavoidable.

The massive whale tail slammed into You Chen's body head-on. With the immense force of the Evil Orca King's enormous size, even though You Chen kept using the Stardust Power to counterattack, it still sent him flying several kilometers away.

You Chen had already realized that the Evil Orca King's goal was not to use the "Evil Orca Demon's Gaze" to create an opportunity to severely injure him, but to take the opportunity to create distance and escape!

'My insufficient control over the Stardust Power actually accelerated its recovery from the poisoning due to Stardust Power purifying effect.'

You Chen realized why the Evil Orca King had recovered so quickly.

The purifying power of Stardust Power is extremely potent.

Power itself has no will; it doesn't care whether the toxin is friendly or not. Since it's something that needs to be purified, it'll just purify it all.

While inflicting severe damage on the Evil Orca King, it also removed some of the toxins.

Taking advantage of the space created by the distance, the Evil Orca King dived directly into the deep sea.

When facing Soul Master, the best way for Sea Soul Beast to escape is to dive into the ocean, the deeper the better.

In such a situation, if the Soul Master doesn't pursue, they can naturally escape smoothly. However, if they choose to pursue and actively enter the sea, the strength of the Soul Beast and the Soul Master will shift, and the balance of power may very well change.

However, You Chen already knew all about the Evil Orca King. Didn't he know what skills it had?

This escape was not unexpected for You Chen.

The Soul Bone Skill, the active version of Air Compression, was activated, instantly displacing a large amount of seawater and squeezing out a spherical area filled with pure oxygen.

But the Evil Orca King was not among them.

Because You Chen's purpose was not to use this move to restrain the Evil Orca King, but to minimize the distance between the Evil Orca King and the sea surface, thereby reducing its buffering effect.

Then, You Chen unleashed his true killing move, Shooting Sonic speed that pierced the sea surface.

After Air Compression on the sea surface, the speed and power of the Shooting Sonic were hardly diminished, and it struck the Evil Orca King directly on the back.

This was the first time You Chen had used the Shooting Sonic in his Martial Soul Avatar state. In his Martial Soul Avatar, which was in an even larger dragon-shaped state, the caliber of the gun was magnified by nearly a hundred times.

The Stardust Power, after undergoing its extreme Nature Transformation, pierced through the back of the Evil Orca King, creating a massive gash nearly five meters long.

The Evil Orca King is not the size of Titan Giant Ape; this is a fatal blow.

Whales are not fish, but mammals that need to surface frequently to breathe.

With such a severe blow, the Evil Orca King had no choice but to surface.

It desperately needed to find a rocky island similar to the one where You Chen had previously stayed to rest; otherwise, if it continued to fight the man behind it without time to recover... it would really die!

This human Soul Master who appeared out of nowhere is terrifying!

The Evil Orca Demon's Gaze, which has already been used, cannot be recharged for a short period of time, and other attack methods are basically ineffective against You Chen.

Left with no other choice, the Evil Orca King repeatedly used a large amount of mental energy to condense a red crystal mirror using its innate skill, constantly hindering the approaching You Chen.

The speed at which mental energy locks onto something is the speed of thought, so even with You Chen's flight speed, he would still be blocked and hindered by the red crystal mirror.

Even as the distance between them increased time and time again, and it seemed that the Evil Orca King was about to escape completely, You Chen's expression remained unchanged.

The Evil Orca King was unaware that while consuming its mental energy made it easier to escape, it was also pushing it further into an abyss of despair.

'It's time.'

Starlight flickered in You Chen's eyes. With the combination of his spiritual power and the Stardust Power, a huge, pure, clear blue star suddenly descended into the spiritual world of the Evil Orca King.

'Star Soul Art - Wheel of Stars.'

The stars that filled the world rolled like wheels, crushing towards the Evil Orca King. Faced with this apocalyptic scene, the Evil Orca King's already depleted spirit was powerless to resist.

The Evil Orca King, who had roamed the oceans for tens of thousands of years, thus silently perished.

I remember watching videos of Da Ming Er Ming on Bilibili before, and they were all hundreds of meters tall! But when I read the novel, Er Ming was only a dozen meters tall... What kind of Tai Tan is that?! When I was writing about fighting Er Ming, I imagined a mountain being sent flying by him... but it wasn't a real mountain, it was more like a fake one.
