Battle Against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King
"When we set sail, Xiao Bai will accompany us as our bodyguard."
Tang Yuehua said.
Xia Yang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this and asked, "Xiao Bai? She's going to participate too? Isn't this Eighth Examination trial for the four of us?"
"Xiao Bai's arrival is indeed arranged by the Great Offering."
Tang Yuehua said gently, "I think that since the Great Offering has made this arrangement, her coming to help should also be within the scope of what is allowed in the assessment."
"It's always good to have more strength."
Xia Yang pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Alright."
"With a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark providing support, we have a better chance of winning this battle."
"I'll go rest first, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xia Yang nodded to Tang Yuehua, turned around and walked into the corridor, found a quiet room and pushed open the door to enter.
The interior was simply furnished, yet clean and bright.
Xia Yang carefully took off the Storage Soul Tool he was wearing and neatly arranged it on the table.
He then sat cross-legged on the couch and slowly closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
This battle against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is not only about the success or failure of the Divine Exam, but also about life and death.
Xia Yang must adjust his mind and body to the best state, and cannot afford to relax even for a moment.
As night deepened outside the window, the faint sound of waves drifted in from afar.
The next day at dawn, before the first light of day had even broken, Xia Yang and his group had already set sail.
The large ship sailed away from Han Sea Port, breaking through the morning mist, and headed towards the sea area where the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was entrenched.
Waves surged on both sides of the ship, while the silver-gray dorsal fin of Xiao Bai Demon Soul Great White Shark appeared and disappeared intermittently, like a silent guardian, always by its side.
The voyage was relatively smooth, and the group did not encounter any storms.
Aside from necessary rest and duty, Xia Yang and his group spent most of their time meditating and trying to maintain their peak condition.
The sea breeze carried a salty smell; the sun rose and set, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened.
The water in the sea ahead gradually deepened in color, changing from azure to inky blue, and finally presenting a deep, almost pitch-black hue.
At this moment, the sea was unusually calm, with no wind or waves.
In this sea area, even the calls of ordinary seabirds and the sounds of schools of fish swimming have all disappeared.
All around, the only sound was the monotonous creaking of the ship's gunwale cutting through the water.
In short, the silence in this sea area was unsettling.
This is it.
Xia Yang stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze fixed solemnly on the inky black sea.
Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Tang Yuehua silently gathered around him, their expressions solemn.
What should we do now?
Ah Yin asked softly.
Xia Yang took a slow breath, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said, "The arrow is on the string; how can it not be released?"
"Prepare for battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a fist with his right hand, and a golden light burst forth from his palm. The Sea God Trident appeared as if summoned, its Trident body flowing with a pale golden divine radiance, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding darkness.
The four looked at each other and nodded, simultaneously circulating their Soul Power.
A surge of energy erupted from their bodies, intertwining and converging in the air, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Activate!"
"Bone Cast Body, Dragon Wing, Ring Condensation Mirror... Dragon Bone Ring Defense - Perfect Body Susanoo, manifest!"
As the light intensified, the four figures completely merged into the blazing ball of light.
The next moment, a giant a hundred meters tall materialized and stood on the sea surface.
The giant was covered in deep purple energy armor, its lines hard and rigid, like jagged mountain rocks.
What he held in his hand was the Sea God Trident, magnified several times over, its tip pointing straight to the sky.
Behind the giant were a pair of dragon wings.
The dragon's wings slowly unfurled, revealing dark red patterns flowing across the wing membrane.
In addition, the giant had several long, gleaming golden spears strapped to his waist.
That was Ah Yin's Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
Since Xia Yang already possessed the Sea God Trident, Ah Yin's Blue Silver Overlord Spear could only be transformed into a long-range weapon that could be thrown at any time.
Furthermore, the most peculiar feature is the rhomboid crystal embedded in the giant's forehead.
The crystal was translucent, with light and shadow swirling within it. Xia Yang and his three companions were inside, jointly controlling this colossal battle form that had been fused together.
"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
Xia Yang's shout came through the giant, like thunder rolling across the sea, stirring up countless tiny waves.
"Come out!!!"
With this roar, the giant swung his Sea God Trident down, slamming it heavily onto the inky black sea.
"Boom--"
Huge waves rose up, and the seawater seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, rolling to both sides.
Almost at the same instant, a deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the sea.
The sound seemed to come from the Nine Underworlds, shaking the entire sea.
"Roar--"
"The descendant of the Sea God..."
"Hmph, the shame of yesteryear will be washed away with your blood today!"
The sea suddenly split open, and a colossal beast leaped out.
It is two hundred meters long, and its body is covered with jewel-like, translucent blue scales that gleam with a cold luster in the dim light.
However, on that head that should have been majestic and terrifying, there was a hideous scar across the left eye, completely destroying that eye.
That was a mark left by the Sea God Trident in the distant past.
Xia Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
Even though he had anticipated it, when he saw the true form of this nearly million-year-old Spirit Beast, Xia Yang still felt an unprecedented pressure.
"I underestimated it..."
"This size is probably more than two hundred meters."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's single, menacing eye was fixed on the Purple Giant, its voice booming like the undercurrents of the ocean.
"Successor of the Sea God... Today is your death day."
Between the sea and the sky, a giant stands holding a halberd, while a demonic whale floats on the waves.
The two faced each other from a distance, their killing intent spreading like a tangible force, even causing the inky black seawater to seem to freeze.
At this moment, the giant stood on the inky sea, his Golden Trident pointing diagonally at the sky, and the purple energy that erupted from his body rose like flames.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had a single, menacing eye, and its massive body swam slowly, stirring up the surrounding undercurrents.
A tentative probe, suddenly erupting from the dead silence.
Xia Yang was the first to activate his Soul Power, and the giant's body flashed with light.
Soul Skill: Skeleton Bodyguard
The first defensive Soul Skill was activated, and layers of bone armor condensed on the surface of Susanoo.
Soul Skill: Dark Demon Evil God Transformation
Immediately afterwards, black patterns quickly climbed up the armor.
Soul Skill: Soul Guard
Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body
Two defensive Soul Skill bloomed simultaneously, one physical and one spiritual, and Xia Yang felt his internal and external defenses greatly increased.
The restorative power of "Soul Skill: Undying Body" flows like a gentle stream, constantly circulating.
The amplification, defense, and recovery Soul Skill were all stacked up in an instant, and the giant's aura surged dramatically.
However, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King only let out a low growl.
Soul Skill: Whale Roar Shakes the Heavens--
The enormous sound waves swept across the sea surface as if they were solid, causing the giant's body to tremble violently, and the protective aura that had just formed rippled outwards.
