Million-Year Soul Ring
With Poseidon drawing upon some of the Divine Power, Wu Qi was able to cope, and with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's assistance, Hunter was able to avoid immediate rescue.
But things are different now. Poseidon forcibly draws Divine Power from his own body through the "channel" left on Bo Saixi's body. In doing so, not only does he violate the rules of the Divine Realm, but Wu Qi also loses the possibility of defeating him.
"To treat a junior so cruelly, is this the self-proclaimed righteous and benevolent Sea God?"
Poseidon knew this was against the rules, but he had to do it. Without the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, his foundation would be shaken, and even at the risk of being held accountable by the God Realm Committee, he had to force Wu Qi to retreat.
Furthermore, he was not without backing in the Divine Realm; he was the strongest under the Asura God and the number one person below the Five Great God Kings.
Meanwhile, the Asura God's intended Successor was Wu Qi, who was snatched away by the God of Destruction, and the identity of the other was unknown, but it seems that he also lost the possibility of succession because of the God of Destruction.
Therefore, the two sides had long-standing conflicts, but they hadn't brought them to the forefront.
This time, Poseidon felt he was venting his anger for the Asura God, and the other party had no reason not to protect him this time.
"So what? This is my territory. Even the Successor of the God of Destruction is not allowed to cause trouble here!"
Hunter shook his head slightly, then looked at Wu Qi and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, "You two should retreat from the Demon Whale Sea Domain first, and I will meet up with you later!"
As he finished speaking, the Blazing Scepter Martial Soul appeared in his hand. However, with the aid of Divine Power, even an ordinary Martial Soul could unleash Divine Skill!
Wu Qi did not linger and quickly did as instructed.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, not wanting to be held accountable by Poseidon, immediately left with him.
At the same time, through those words, he could roughly figure out Wu Qi's situation.
There is Deity behind the opponent, and the opponent is also the Divine Seat Successor. It is likely that the opponent has the means to break through to become Divine Beast.
According to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's vision, if Wu Qi could help him break through to the Divine Realm, he would actively join Wu Qi's camp and cause trouble for Poseidon every day.
Six hundred miles outside the Demon Whale Sea Domain, the weather was fine and sunny, unaffected by the great battle.
Wu Qi released the Soul Tool Speedboat, which temporarily floated on the sea surface.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King came to his side and hurriedly asked, "Boy, don't forget what you promised me."
Wu Qi shrugged and said, "The Sea God is right. You'll never break through to become Divine Beast by relying solely on your own cultivation."
Before he could continue, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King flew into a rage and roared, "Are you toying with me? Even if you have a more powerful Deity behind you, I will make you pay!"
Wu Qi shook his head and sighed, "The Sea God is right. It's not that your Talent is lacking, but rather that the rules limit you. Otherwise, why would so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast choose to Humanoid Transformation humans?"
"Humanoid Transformation is too costly for you, but there's a better way."
"What is it?" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's expression softened somewhat.
Wu Qi said casually, "You can't become a god because of your identity as Soul Beast. You can easily verify this with Ferocious Beast on the continent that are of similar strength to you."
"Only by shedding your identity as Soul Beast will you have a chance to become a god. The essence of Humanoid Transformation is the same."
"Sacrifice your Soul Ring to me, and your soul will exist within the Soul Ring and Soul Bone. After I become a god, I will go to the Divine Realm to resurrect you. You will no longer be Soul Beast, and nourished by the aura of the Divine Realm, you will soon become a god."
"Furthermore, I can guarantee that I will send you back to the mainland in the future."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's chest heaved violently, his face contorted in pain. "As expected, you're just like Poseidon, you only want my Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
Wu Qi remained silent, displaying the soul bones of his Arm Soul Bones and Torso Spirit Bone.
"My Arm Soul Bones come from the Icefire Dragon King, Torso Spirit Bone come from the Azure Luan Divine Beast. They are both Divine Beast that have survived from ancient times. Do you think they would willingly Sacrifice their Soul Bone if I were just spouting nonsense?"
This cannot be faked.
Wu Qi's strength was insufficient to fight against the Divine Beast; these Divine Gear could only have been obtained through Sacrifice.
For a moment, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell silent. To gamble nearly a million years of cultivation on Wu Qi's future godhood to resurrect him was a huge price to pay.
After all, Wu Qi is currently only the Divine Seat Successor, and whether he can become a god is still unknown. If he perishes along the way, or if problems arise at the last moment, he will also perish.
But if he didn't gamble and remained stuck at the last hurdle, allowing Poseidon old dog, to bully him at will, how could he possibly accept that?
Wu Qi did not disturb his thoughts and sat on the speedboat with his eyes closed to rest.
After a long silence, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked, "How can I trust you to keep your promise to resurrect me after you become a god?"
Wu Qi opened his eyes and said calmly, "Oaths and such are all empty words. There is no enmity or grudge between us; we are merely business partners. Why should I break my promise to you?"
"Most importantly, I'm a latecomer to the Divine Realm, without my own faction. If I resurrect you, you'll become my first ally, allowing me to quickly establish myself Divine Realm."
Do you think it's necessary for me to break my promise?
Once he inherits the Deity Position, he will become one of the five great Deity Position in the Divine Realm and an important member of the God Realm Committee.
Breaking his promise will only make his situation in the Divine Realm more difficult.
After a moment's hesitation, a resolute glint appeared in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes. "Very well, I'm willing to take this gamble. I hope you can securely inherit the divine Deity Position and resurrect me."
"Your Soul Bone slots are full. Whatever Soul Bone you need, I will try my best to fulfill your request."
Once the Eighth Trial is completed, Wu Qi will be fully equipped with Divine Gear, so the requirements for his Soul Bone will not be significant.
After thinking for a moment, he decided, "I will try my best to modify the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in my legs. In this way, the power of my Divine Gear will be even stronger."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not respond; his form transformed into his true form.
In an instant, a beam of brilliant Golden Light Pillar shot straight into the sky, dyeing the horizon a brilliant gold.
Nearly a million years of cultivation were ignited at this moment, creating Sacrifice Domain that separated the entire area within a ten-mile radius. At this moment, unless the Deity himself descended to the mortal realm, the Sacrifice state could not be interrupted.
Feeling his own aura rise to the God Tier level, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had accumulated enough strength to advance to the level of Divine Beast, but unfortunately, the rules limited his potential.
He was already "dead" when this Sacrifice began, but at this moment, his power has taken its final step.
"Boy, remember the promise you made to me."
The colossal body, hundreds of meters tall, transformed into specks of starlight, which became the purest Soul Power, converging towards Wu Qi's body.
In order to help Wu Qi break through to a higher level and complete the final assessment as soon as possible, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Sacrifice all of its power.
A brilliant golden light continuously gathered, and at the location of Wu Qi Qi's Ninth Spirit Ring, a brilliant Golden Soul Ring was slowly forming.
