On the Strongest in the World!
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu's smile gradually faded, and then she nodded seriously. "Yes, and as far as I know, there is currently a Soul Beast that is close to a million years old."
"Qing Mu, the Soul Beast you mentioned that's nearly a million years old, you're not referring to Tian Meng, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress within the Sea of Spirit couldn't help but laugh. Tian Meng was indeed Soul Beast approaching a million years old, but its Combat Power...
It's better not to say anything.
Upon hearing Ice Empress speak, Qing Mu shook her head at Ice Empress within her Sea of Spirit and replied, "No, it's another Soul Beast that's nearly a million years old."
"What? Qing Mu, you're saying that a nearly million-year-old Soul Beast has appeared outside of Tian Meng in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress could no longer remain seated.
She accepted Qing Mu's suggestion to sacrifice herself to Qing Mu because she knew she wouldn't survive the great calamity of 400,000 years, betting that Qing Mu would become a god in the future.
Therefore, Ice Empress understood even more clearly how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation was, and how powerful it was to survive nine great tribulations over nearly a million years.
Qing Mu nodded and said, "That Soul Beast is called the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Its age is now approaching one million years, and its cultivation has already reached the level of one million years. It is only one step away from becoming a god."
In fact, given the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's situation, he should have become a god long ago under normal circumstances. With a million years of cultivation, a 99% divine body, the ability to remain hidden in his Soul Bone even after being killed with the help of the Asura Divine Power, waiting to possess Tang San's soul, and the double Twin Whale Pearls in his head that is very likely Twin Soul Cores, all of these things basically reached the limit below the god level.
Even after his battle with the Sea God, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King developed the divine skill of Energy Armor Transformation. Although it was only a semi-finished product and could not be compared with a real set, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and its power should not be underestimated.
With these configurations, if it were Douluo 3 4 Di Tian, he would definitely win. However, Di Tian is not that strong yet, so it's hard to say who would win against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. It depends on how much of the power Di Tian can unleash with the Dragon God Claw and whether he can break through the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Energy Armor Transformation.
"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"
Ice Empress was slightly taken aback; clearly, it was the first time she had heard this name either.
Within the Sea of Spirit, Qing Mu was speechless upon seeing Ice Empress's appearance. "I mean, you've lived for over 300,000 years, and you've never even heard of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Dou?"
Hearing Qing Mu's words, Ice Empress blushed. Could she say that besides eating Rest, she only went out when she wanted to be with Snow Empress?
"I should have asked Sister Snow Maiden back then; she should have known this information."
Ice Empress felt a pang of regret. If she had been even slightly more studious, she wouldn't have embarrassed herself in front of Qing Mu.
At this moment, Dugu Bo, who was outside, also recovered from his shock. He hadn't expected that there really was a million-year-old Soul Beast. Just how powerful must this Soul Beast be?
Suddenly, Dugu Bo realized that when Qing Mu said "only a handful," he was referring not only to humans but also to other living beings. At the time, he thought Qing Mu was referring to powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but now it seemed that Qing Mu was referring to these terrifying 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
So, Dugu Bo cautiously asked, "Qing Mu, who is stronger between you and this million-year- Million-Year Soul Beast Million-Year Soul Beast? Can you defeat it?"
"I can't beat it. I'm no match for that million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King right now."
Qing Mu shook her head and said without the slightest hesitation.
After the battle with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, Qing Mu should have tested his current limits. He is slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu, but only slightly stronger.
Among the three Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu can be considered the weakest.
Because Qian Daoliu only gains his bonuses when he's in the sky, the higher he flies, the greater the bonuses he receives, and the stronger he becomes.
But this is only in theory; in reality, Qian Daoliu is unable to unleash his full Combat Power in his ideal state.
After all, you fly so high, you're very strong, but how are you going to attack?
Would someone chase you thousands or even tens of thousands of meters in the air and fight you?
If others don't Qian Daoliu and you can't attack the opponent, then you can only slink down from the sky and fight the enemy near the ground, so the bonus you get is negligible.
Conversely, compared to Qian Daoliu, the conditions for Bo Saixi and Tang Chen to gain bonuses are much simpler.
Bo Saixi's battlefield is the sea; as long as she is on the sea, she can obtain the full bonus.
Tang Chen's conditions are even simpler; the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Explosion are not restricted by the environment at all, and can be unleashed as long as it is not on cooldown.
Therefore, Qing Mu believed that Qian Daoliu was the weakest. Although their ultimate Combat Power was roughly the same, considering the actual situation, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen were clearly stronger.
At the same time, Qing Mu thought to himself, "Currently, the only ones who can pose a threat to me on the Douluo Continent are the Silver Dragon King, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Di Tian, Evil Emperor, Snow Empress, Ten Qian Daoliu Ten Thousand Demon King, Xiong Jun from the Soul Beast side, and Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen from the Human side."
However, the Evil Emperor is not on the Douluo Continent, and the Silver Dragon King is seriously injured and unable to fight. The only ones who can truly defeat me are the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and Di Tian, the two strongest Soul Beast."
Yes, Qing Mu's strength has now reached a point where only the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King Di Tian can reliably defeat him.
As for Snow Empress, Ten Thousand Demon King, Xiong Jun, Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu, although they are strong, they only have a chance to beat him. If they are not on their home turf, they may even be easily defeated by Qing Mu.
"I see!"
For some reason, upon hearing from Qing Mu that he was no match for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Dugu Bo felt a slight sense of disappointment.
Having heard Qing Mu's shocking words so many times before, I was somewhat unaccustomed to Qing Mu answer this time, even though it wasn't unexpected.
Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Qing Mu patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "So what if you can't beat Million-Year Soul Beast? Don't forget that I'm only level 80 now, and I haven't even absorbed my Eighth Soul Ring yet."
"Once I reach the Title Douluo, even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King might not be a match for me and Bulbasaur."
When Qing Mu said this, he was very confident. From level 80 to titled Douluo, although his Soul Power only increased by one or two times, it was undoubtedly a qualitative change for Qing Mu and Bulbasaur.
With higher base stats, the power of Qing Mu and Bulbasaur will definitely increase, not to mention the amplification from the two Soul Ring.
Then, Qing Mu frowned and voiced her concerns.
"My only worry right now is that the Spirit Hall will attack you while I'm gone. After all, I need to acquire Soul Ring and can't protect you all the time."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry, because according to what you just said, the Spirit Hall should be too busy to pay attention to you."
If we had to put it bluntly, the Spirit Hall should be afraid of you, since your strength is greater than Qian Daoliu's."
