Shattering His Arms and Replacing His Spirit Bones
At this moment, Xia Yang's physique, which already had a good affinity for ocean power, began to undergo a fundamental transformation under the baptism and blessing of this dual power (the energy of the Demonic Whale King and the evolved Sea God's Light).
Every cell in his body was rejoicing, and every meridian was expanding and strengthening.
Xia Yang felt an unprecedented intimate resonance with the omnipresent Water Element and ocean power surrounding him.
Moreover, this affinity is steadily and firmly increasing, accompanied by the absorption of power and the tempering of Divine Light.
Time loses its meaning in this strange and grand process.
On the sea, light and shadow shift, and the sun rises and the moon sets.
Xia Yang, as if transformed into a golden sculpture, sat atop the remains of the Demonic Whale King, with the Sea God Trident standing beside him, endless energy flowing within his body.
At this time, Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, Ah Yin, and others, who had already recovered, had retreated to a distance to protect the Dharma.
They were all shocked and filled with anticipation as they watched the changes in Xia Yang.
Three days and three nights passed in total.
As the dawn of the fourth day pierced the sea surface, casting the first golden rays upon the area, the enormous energy vortex that had persisted for three days and three nights finally began to subside.
Xia Yang, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, there seemed to be the boundless waves of a deep blue sea, and the dazzling majesty of a golden divine authority, flashing by in an instant.
At this moment, there was no sign of any energy leakage from Xia Yang's body. His aura was perfectly harmonious and complete, returning to its original simplicity, yet giving people a sense of unfathomable depth and a majestic feeling as if facing an entire ocean.
"Peak level 99!"
Xia Yang's Soul Power has reached the limit of the Mortal Realm. If he takes another half step forward, he will reach the divine Divine Domain.
More importantly, Xia Yang also clearly felt that the invisible barrier between himself and the mysterious Ocean Source, and the Sea God Inheritance, had completely dissolved.
"Sea God Affinity, 100%."
At this moment, he is the most suitable successor to the ocean, waiting only to complete the final trial before he can wield power and Avatar the new Sea God.
The vast ocean, with its gently surging waves, seems to be quietly awaiting that moment.
At this moment, although Xia Yang's Sea God Affinity had increased to 100%, Xia Yang did not get up. Instead, he closed his eyes again.
Moreover, the Sea God's Light still enveloped Xia Yang's body.
Xia Yang sat cross-legged in front of the broken body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, his Soul Power circulating to its limit.
Suddenly, with two sharp cracking sounds, his arms were severed at the shoulders, and before the blood could even spurt, they were enveloped in the surrounding golden light.
Tang Yuehua's face turned pale instantly. She took a half step forward and asked, "Brother Xia, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, clenched his fists, his voice filled with suppressed anxiety, and asked, "What happened to your hand?"
However, Xia Yang did not respond.
He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, as if all his thoughts had sunk into his body, leaving only his Soul Power surging and flowing at the fracture point, greedily absorbing the energy contained in the Sea God's Light.
"Blue Silver Domain: Deploy!"
Upon seeing this, Ah Yin immediately began treating Xia Yang.
A soft blue halo washed over Xia Yang's shoulder wound like a tide, attempting to heal this shocking injury.
However, before the healing light had fully penetrated, a strange change suddenly occurred in Xia Yang's body.
Suddenly, a strong, azure light burst forth from the broken points of his arms.
As if it had a life of its own, the blue light actually reached out to the remains of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King beside it and connected with it tightly.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The massive body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King began to wither and shrink at a visible rate, as if all its essence was being forcibly extracted.
At the same time, flesh and blood were writhing and bones were growing on Xia Yang's shoulder.
Two brand-new arms rapidly reshaped and extended amidst the surrounding blue light.
In just a moment, a pair of complete arms had regenerated.
Beneath Xia Yang's arms, a dark blue sheen, like that of the deep sea, subtly flowed.
It turns out that the quality of the Spirit Bone that Xia Yang originally fused with in his two arms was limited; one arm was only five hundred years old, and the other was only three thousand years old.
After much deliberation, Xia Yang decided to change his Spirit Bone.
Therefore, under the infusion and protection of the Sea God's Light, he shattered his old bones in such a resolute way, and with the help of the vast energy left by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, he replaced his old bones with a pair of brand new Spirit Bone.
Xia Yang's current arm Spirit Bone are the result of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Million-Year Spirit Bone being split in two and integrated into his two arms.
Therefore, each of Xia Yang's left and right arm Spirit Bone now contains a vast power of 495,000 years.
In fact, without the blessing of the divine power of the Sea God's Light, such a method of replacing Spirit Bone would be almost impossible to complete.
At this time, Xia Yang's process of replacing his Spirit Bone and recovering from his injuries lasted for a whole day.
During this time, the Sea God's Light remained like a golden dome, enveloping Xia Yang's body.
As the last wisp of energy completely merged into the newly formed Spirit Bone, the pervasive golden light slowly dissipated, and the trident symbolizing the Sea God's Authority also turned into a phantom image, then disappeared into Xia Yang's chest.
Then, Xia Yang opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
The newborn arm clenched, its fingertips radiating an unprecedented, powerful strength.
Then, Xia Yang walked towards the only remaining head of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Its body had long since withered like rotten wood, and all its energy had become the foundation of his new Spirit Bone.
Xia Yang pointed his fingers like a knife, and with a flash of Purple Gold Soul Power, easily broke through the hard skull.
A bead the size of a pigeon egg, entirely Purple Gold, rolled out, emanating pure and domineering energy fluctuations.
Without any hesitation, Xia Yang swallowed it whole.
"This is its final origin."
Feeling the surging heat within his body, Xia Yang said to those around him, "Once I've fully refined it, breaking through to level 100 should be a natural progression."
Inside the skull, several cubic meters of Whale Brain, as brilliant as gold, remained, radiating a rich Life Aura.
Xia Yang turned to Tang Yuehua and said, "Keep these safe and take them back to the children."
"With this foundation, when they acquire their First Soul Ring in the future, their Year Limit will likely be several thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua solemnly took out the container and carefully put away the precious golden Whale Brain.
The tense atmosphere finally eased, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Liu Erlong patted Xia Yang Yangxin's arm and chuckled, "If you mess around like this again, I'll beat you up first."
Ah Yin let out a soft sigh of relief, and the Blue Silver Domain slowly receded.
Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, who had been quietly waiting not far away, approached and said with a voice filled with awe and emotion, "Congratulations."
"Shall we go back to Sea God Island now?"
Xia Yang nodded, gazing at the faint outline of the sea rising in the distance.
