• Tang San used his god-tier eight spider lances to drain the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's energy and life force while pouring Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye spring water into its wounds.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King struggled against the Sun God Bow’s heat and piercing wound, the sunlight, and the lingering Ice and Fire Dual Heavens within his body.

Tang San and his companions fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who repeatedly pressed Tang San with powerful close-range attacks.

• Tang San realized the mysterious red light had helped him break through to a higher realm of Spiritual Power and defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

Tang San shared the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's energy with his companions and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, then prepared to absorb its Million-Year Soul Ring. As the ring's power gathered, the Clear Sky Hammer's Divine Slaughter's Domain repelled the Sea God's Light, and Tang San plunged into the sea to begin the dangerous absorption.

• Tang San recovered from his injuries, explained that Bodhi Blood had dealt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King its final blow, and used his Eight Spider Lances to share the whale king's energy with his companions.
