Deep Sea Demonic Whale King
Xiao Bai really wanted to hunt down the tribe that had been driven away by the Evil Orca King before the war even started, but Han Li's appearance, he gave up on that plan.
Han Li indeed had no such intention. To him, everything on the Douluo Continent was his private property. The conflict between the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Evil Orca Group was normal, a natural battle in nature, and there was no bias towards either side.
Of course, in the end, he did help the Demon Soul Great White Shark, but the Evil Orca King did not produce Faith Power for him or Ye Lingling. He also lacked a Soul Bone, so it was just a side thing.
If a replacement left leg bone could have been obtained through other channels, perhaps this trip wouldn't have been necessary. In short, he was acting in his own self-interest.
As for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, this is also part of his plan.
For Han Li, it was a treasure from head to toe. Whether it was the Soul Ring, Soul Bone, or its nearly transformed body and the massive amount of Soul Power that could form an energy armor, although it was a bit lacking in quality, its quantity was indeed unmatched.
In this respect, even Di Tian at this stage is somewhat inferior to it. Of course, this does not mean that its strength is necessarily stronger than Di Tian's. It is just that in these aspects, it has indeed achieved the ultimate in the Douluo Continent. The Heavenly Tribulation was truly not in vain.
Han Li has no shortage of endurance, but he lacks time. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is that fast-charging power bank. Swallowing it will propel Han Li to the top in one fell swoop, so there's no question of winning him over.
Faced with the choice between a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King who could potentially reach the First Level God after breaking through the rules and advancing to a higher level, and Han Li's own improvement, he decisively chose himself. Although it was regrettable, that was reality.
Justice and Evil? They don't exist; it's all about self-interest.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, even though it was something it had known from the beginning, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, Little White, still couldn't help but tremble.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is far too powerful in the eyes of the Sea Soul Beast. After all, even the High Priestess can only deter it within the territory of Sea God Island. If you encounter it in other sea areas, it is almost certain to die. Fortunately, it generally does not want to get close to Sea God Island.
However, it quickly calmed down. It impolitely thought of the scene a few days ago when Han Li smashed the Grand Priest of the Grand High Priestess, and silently shut its mouth.
In front of Han Li, no one seemed strong enough. After all, this was someone even the Lord Sea God had to address as "young friend."
If the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is defeated, wouldn't their Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan also have a chance to become the king of the Sea Soul Beast?
At this moment, a hint of ambition arose in Xiao Bai's heart.
Whether it's a king or not isn't that important; at the very least, its people should be able to enjoy better living conditions and roam the seas.
Han Li glanced curiously at the Demon Soul Great White Shark beneath him. He felt a trace of Faith Power merging into him again, and wondered what this silly shark was thinking, even stopping its swimming.
However, he didn't bother to ask, as individual beliefs didn't hold much significance for him at the moment.
He pressed down slightly with his feet, giving a reminder that startled Xiao Bai from his daydream, and he quickly swam towards the forbidden zone in the ocean.
On Xiao Bai's back, Han Li didn't rest. He casually attached the 100,000-year-old left leg bone he had just obtained to his left leg.
He didn't even enter a cultivation state; he was just chatting with the two of them when he completely absorbed it. For him now, a simple Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was barely a significant improvement.
Incidentally, he also adjusted the skills attached to the Soul Bone.
He didn't modify the Evil Orca Battle Axe. When attacking, he would concentrate his Soul Power in his legs and transform it into a battle axe blade as thin as a cicada's wing. It was a linear single-target attack skill. Regardless of its strength, the action was still very cool, so he kept it.
As for the original Evil Orca Tooth Shattering Slash, this kind of group attack was not entirely useless to him, but it was more like a useless skill. So after some consideration, he chose to keep the Evil Orca Mirror of Annihilation.
The Evil Orca Mirror of Annihilation skill's effect is to condense everything around it into a mirror when activated, and then choose to use the mirror for defense or shatter it.
Han Li chose it because its skill mechanism was quite good. After being integrated into his body, it could directly mobilize the laws of water and Space Law. The skill itself was of average strength, but after being integrated into the laws, the effect was considerable.
Whether it's the disintegration after Ice Seal or the direct shattering of space, both are quite good. The key is that having this medium can reduce his own consumption to a certain extent, which is what satisfies him the most.
Xiao Bai's speed in the ocean is quite good, which is an advantage that its race's appearance gives it compared to other Soul Beast of the same level.
They have now entered the territory of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. According to Han Li's senses, compared to the previous sea area, the aura of both ordinary creatures and Soul Beast in this area is weaker and less frequent.
"As expected of a giant that forcibly devoured something, it's a true ocean killer, "Han Li remarked.
Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp; that's the law of survival. You can't stop others from eating, can you? It's just that they eat too much.
However, that's precisely why he came to "eat" today; there's not much difference.
After traveling a while longer, there were no more Soul Beast to be seen in the ocean. Only some ordinary fish with little intelligence were swimming carefree, and Xiao Bai's speed unconsciously slowed down.
"Fine, let's stop here."
Han Li frowned and made Xiao Bai come to an abrupt stop.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark remained silent, not because it didn't want to swim faster, but because its body was instinctively resisting forward. Even though it was trying its best to control itself, it still couldn't maintain its previous speed.
"You can wait for us here."
Han Li casually offered a reassuring remark.
This relieved Xiao Bai; it was good that no one blamed it, as it didn't want to be treated like High Priestess.
"Uncle-Master, Lingling, you don't need to intervene. Just watch from the sidelines and make sure you don't get hurt."
Han Li had already carried the two of them into the air.
"Oh, right, Lingling, remember to heal me before the fight starts, just for a moment."
Han Li turned around and gave another instruction, Ye Lingling nodded.
This was to help Ye Lingling complete the assessment. Although she also received a small amount of divine power, it was only a trace, since she completed her task too quickly and didn't have time to convert it.
The gap between her and Han Li is too huge. Even a second could drain most of her Soul Power. As long as she participates, that's enough.
As for attacking with the Golden Thirteen Halberds, don't be ridiculous. Although it's Divine Artifact, it's only good for hitting people. But when it comes to fighting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, without sufficient divine power, would you just be tickling it?
The difference in strength between the Evil Orca King and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is not small. The fact that the former could withstand the seawater attack caused by the latter's tail and survive was already considered extremely lucky.
Given Han Li's personality, how could he possibly let Ye Lingling take such a risk?
He has always taken the word "steady" as his life motto.
"Don't worry, I will protect her."
Qian Daoliu touched the small Angel Statue on his chest and said solemnly that with Han Li's modification, he was essentially carrying the Angel Temple with him at all times, and could enter the strongest combat state at any time to protect someone without any pressure.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Senior Uncle."
Han Li smiled. With the Temple of Heaven 'Qian Daoliu and his personality, he was definitely the best bodyguard candidate.
The three of them were talking when they came to a stop over a stretch of sea.
This sea area is distinctly different from the surrounding sea areas. Putting aside everything else, the color of the seawater in this area has become incredibly deep, as if it is swallowing up the surrounding light.
Moreover, the sea in this area is completely still, which contrasts sharply with the undulating waves in the surrounding sea.
The calm was almost eerily palpable; the air itself seemed stagnant—that was pretty much the most striking impression this sea area gave.
The Demon Whale Sea Area —that's what the Sea Soul Beast call this sea area.
As the three figures hovered in mid-air, large patches of dark clouds began to gather above the entire Demon Whale Sea Area, and the sea below turned as black as ink at a visible speed.
At this moment, the sky and the sea turned into one color.
boom--
In the sky, dark clouds churned, and a bolt of lightning, five meters in diameter, shot suddenly toward Ye Lingling's location in the form of a blue-white beam. However, it did not fall from the dark clouds in the sky, but rather burst out of the seabed without warning.
"A feint to the east while attacking in the west, this is still a cultural whale, "Han Li joked, but his body reacted quickly. With a sideways movement, he blocked the lightning, and his wings stretched forward, piercing into the blue-white beam of light.
It's just lightning, as if everyone has it. I'll gladly accept this attack and also see how well this so-called Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who claims to be only one step away from godhood, has applied the lightning attribute.
"Master Uncle, let's fly higher with Lingling. This master doesn't seem to welcome us."
Han Li's voice came from within the pillar of lightning, and the blue-white light gradually weakened. On the contrary, his wings seemed to have been nourished, and the power of wind and thunder became even stronger.
"A descendant of the Sea God? What a repulsive smell for beasts! And who are you?"
A voice suddenly rang out from beneath the sea, causing the seawater to churn. The strange fluctuations that entered the air made Han Li frown. The voice was really unpleasant. How long had it been since he had spoken? It sounded like there was a stone stuck in his throat.
"I'll just kill you."
Han Li didn't intend to communicate with it much; it was just pre-ordered provisions, food that was about to be plated. Why bother talking so much?
"Hahaha."
Seemingly having heard something amusing, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, still at the bottom of the sea, couldn't help but laugh, creating waves. The unpleasant sound made Han Li want to chop it up.
