Bai XiuXiu: I Want You to Pay with Your Life!

Bai XiuXiu: I Want You to Pay with Your Life! These were the only two thoughts that flashed through her mind, and also her final two thoughts.

Then, her Spiritual Power shattered, her Divine Sense was extinguished, and Xiao Bai, a generation's Demon Spirit Great White Shark King, fell! A single Spiritual Power attack had slain a Sea Soul Beast King. The title of number one in ocean Spiritual Power was well deserved.

Seeing this earth-shaking turn of events, how could the Sea Princess fail to realize that someone had interfered with her Spiritual Power attack using Spiritual Power?

Her Spiritual Power had already accumulated to the peak beneath godhood. If not for the Heavenly Barrier, quantitative change would have long since driven qualitative change.

Anyone capable of influencing her Spiritual Power attack had to possess Divine Sense. Among those present, only the million-year Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, had cultivated Divine Sense! At that thought, her gaze immediately shifted to Di Tian, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

No wonder her Spiritual Power had been useless during the earlier battle. Even in the field she excelled at most, she was still inferior to Di Tian.

What she did not know was that even without Divine Sense, her Spiritual Power attacks could not have posed much of a threat to Di Tian.

The Dragon Race possessed an innate talent for spiritual immunity. Back when Huo Yuhao had been on the verge of ascending to godhood, even linking his Spiritual Power with the Power of Destiny had been unable to threaten him, much less the current Sea Princess.

Sensing the Sea Princess's gaze, Di Tian turned his head and met her eyes.

"Surely you can make your decision now?"

As he spoke, he stroked the divine long sword that had just stabbed toward him.

It had ultimately come from the hand of a God King. Even if it had been casually forged from crude materials, it was still considered exquisite among divine weapons.

In the hands of a god, it could indeed have threatened him. Unfortunately, its wielder was merely a Sea Soul Beast King. Even striking with all her strength, she could not break through the dragon-scale defenses of Di Tian's True Dragon body.

Not to mention allowing the strand of Sea God divine power sealed within the divine long sword to wreak havoc inside him.

It could not even break his defenses, so what havoc could it possibly wreak?

Still, it worked out in his favor. By fusing this divine long sword into his Self-Created Soul Skill, the Profound Meaning Black Dragon Sword, he could not only give the Black Dragon Sword a physical form, but also increase its power by several degrees.

Di Tian's question left the Sea Princess utterly speechless. Had either of them ever given her a choice? She looked around...

The "Sword Dance" had ended. Lan Fozi was wiping down and repairing the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device longsword in her hand.

Behind her, Bai XiuXiu clutched Xiao Bai's corpse and wept her heart out. A ninety-thousand-year Demon Spirit Great White Shark seemed unable to bear watching.

The Sea Soul Beasts around them broke into wave after wave of discussion.

"Good!"

"Well killed!"

"We knew it! The dignified Sea Princess, leader of the Neutral Faction, could never become humanity's lapdog!"

"Do you even need to say that? In the Ocean War, we may have been the Neutral Faction, but in the war between us and humanity, there is no Neutral Faction!"

"..."

Even the several Merfolk with cultivation above one hundred thousand years, who were qualified to sit inside the palace, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw their clan leader "personally" use Mermaid Tears to kill Xiao Bai of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks. Even the merfolk princess was included.

Coming back to her senses, the Sea Princess knew that the situation was already clear.

Once yellow mud fell into her pants, it was shit whether it was or not.

With a flick of her Golden Fish Tail, the Sea Princess swam before Di Tian and prostrated herself on the ground, exposing the most vulnerable part of a mermaid's body directly toward him. She performed an ancient Merfolk Race ritual, one that represented submission—the order of superior and inferior, command and obedience.

Immediately afterward, the surroundings erupted with the fiercest beast roars and cheers.

"Beast God! Beast God! Beast God..."

There was only one exception: Bai XiuXiu, Xiao Bai's daughter. Tears hung from the corners of her eyes as she glared with bloodshot eyes at her "mother's killer," the Sea Princess who had just submitted to Di Tian.

She roared as if she had nearly gone mad, "You used my mother's life as your Test of Allegiance!"

"I want you to pay with your life!"

"Pay with your life! Aaah—"

Using the unique vocal cavity of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, she called upon the surviving members of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks outside the palace.

Before long, Demon Spirit Great White Sharks filed into the palace one after another. With Di Tian's deliberate permission, they encountered no obstruction.

The moment they entered, every Demon Spirit Great White Shark immediately gathered around Bai XiuXiu and the corpse of their clan leader, Xiao Bai.

Di Tian had naturally allowed the final survivors of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks inside so that he could resolve the matter completely.

"Until now, soul beasts have been in decline. As the Beast God, I do not wish to commit extermination."

"Xiao Bai of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks betrayed the soul beast race and has now been executed. If you kill her daughter, Bai XiuXiu, you may continue to exist."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks who had rushed inside did not move at all.

Nor did they heed Bai XiuXiu's mad cries to kill the Sea Princess. They did not foolishly try to kill the Sea Princess without even the slightest self-awareness. Instead, pairs of shark eyes stared coldly at Di Tian.

"Hmph!"

"Our Demon Spirit Great White Shark clan has inherited the role of the Sea God's spokesperson through the generations. How could we be like those lowly ordinary beasts, allowing you to manipulate us as you please!"

"Di Tian! You arrogant wretch who defies the Heavenly Dao, you seek your own death without knowing it! We have already seen the Sea God's divine guidance!"

"Today, we may perish, but one day, the Sea God will revive us! And you, Di Tian, will be cast by the gods into Avici Hell!"

When they spoke of the Sea God, an intense fanaticism flashed through their eyes.

Di Tian's expression immediately turned cold.

"Do not mistake my mercy for leverage that allows you to act so recklessly."

It seemed he had been too wishful. There was no need whatsoever to save these Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, who had already been thoroughly brainwashed.

With that thought, he raised a finger. The Profound Meaning Black Dragon Sword and the divine longsword had begun to fuse. Its blade solidified as if corporeal, more than four chi long, black as ink from end to end, gleaming with a grim, icy light.

Just as he was about to use these Demon Spirit Great White Sharks to test the new Black Dragon Sword, the Sea Princess spoke up to request permission.

"Beast God, killing them would dirty your hands."

"Since Xiao Bai was 'killed' by me, why not leave her clansmen to me as well?"

The Sea Princess's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Since she had already presented a Test of Allegiance, she might as well offer more.

"You may." Without joy or anger, Di Tian put away the Black Dragon Sword and gave the Sea Princess the task of killing these Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, whose tails were practically raised to the heavens.

To kill ten-thousand-year Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, there was naturally no need for a supreme Spiritual Power weapon like Mermaid Tears. The Sea Princess flexed her five fingers, and the Spiritual Power permeating the space transformed into threads, forming a net of Spiritual Power that covered heaven and earth.

Even Bai XiuXiu, whose cultivation had reached ninety thousand years, did not have time to let out even a single wail before the net of Spiritual Power sliced her into strips and chunks.

Then, with another turn of her five fingers, she summoned an Ocean Storm controlled with exquisite precision. The blood and filth within the palace were completely swept away, while the essence of life merged into the Deep Sea Domain to improve its cultivation environment.
