The Deep Sea Demon Whale King Dies!
However, just as its killing intent reached its peak, another image flashed through its mind—the terrifying energy explosion that made even the deep sea tremble, coming from the distant direction of Sea God Island, and the subsequent perception of the island that symbolized the authority of the Sea God and had once made it wary, being completely annihilated.
Sea God Island... Sea God Island, protected by the Sea God, has been destroyed by humans.
This fact brought it to a rare moment of clarity.
The waters of the human world run too deep!
They can even breach the ancestral lands of gods; who knows what kind of behemoth stands behind these two female Soul Master who dare to openly hunt their own kind? Is this a prelude to the "Spirit Hall Empire's " move?
"Are you sure there are only two? What are their strengths?" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suppressed his anger and confirmed again, his remaining caution intertwined with his rage at the humans who had killed his people.
"Your Majesty... Your subordinate... Your subordinate truly cannot judge." The mental fluctuations transmitted by the fifty-thousand-year-old demonic whale were filled with fear. "Their methods are bizarre. One controls extreme cold, Ice Seal thousands of miles of sea with a wave of the hand; the other manipulates water as if it were an extension of her arm, stirring up towering waves to our advantage. They... seem to have never used their full strength before their people were already defeated."
Blood-red light flickered in the enormous pupils of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"Roar--!!!"
Finally, it let out a muffled roar, suppressing endless rage and resentment, and the shockwave of its soul reverberated throughout the entire sea area where its race lived:
"By my decree! From this day forward, all members of the clan shall conduct all hunting and killing within the deep sea! Approaching the surface is strictly prohibited, and actively provoking any unknown human Soul Master is strictly forbidden!"
The order was given, but it could sense the resentment and restlessness permeating the tribe.
Having lost so many of their own kind, they had to swallow their anger and retreat into the deep sea... This Evil Fire had nowhere to go.
Then, driven by both fear of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and their inner rage, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan unleashed all their ferocity on the other, weaker Sea Soul Beast.
They preyed on and devoured the Sea Soul Beast with even greater madness and greed, accelerating their cultivation.
······································
The deep sea, on the edge of the ocean Mermaid Clan.
The seawater here displays a dreamlike blend of icy blue and light purple, with giant bioluminescent jellyfish resembling floating palace lanterns, illuminating the crystal palace nestled amidst colorful coral reefs and pristine white sand.
Far from the core sea area ravaged by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and close to the continental shelf beneath the Extreme North Icefield, this place was originally a peaceful and tranquil paradise.
However, the unusual mental fluctuations and bloody stench emanating from the southern deep sea, along with news brought by other Sea Soul Beast that had fled here, have caused deep unease among the rulers of this beautiful sea area— the Sea Princess.
At this moment, in a relatively secluded dwelling surrounded by giant seashells on the outskirts of the palace, the Sea Princess was gazing at Xiao Bai, the leader of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, who was weak and still wounded beside her.
Xiao Bai's massive body was covered with a mix of old and new scars.
In the valley behind her, a few dozen equally wounded and terrified Demon Soul Great White Shark swam sparsely. This was the last remaining bloodline of a once mighty clan that had protected Sea God Island.
The Sea Princess's appearance was stunning, even by the most demanding standards of human beauty.
Her skin was so white it was almost translucent, with a warm, pearly glow.
Her azure eyes were like the concentrated essence of the purest deep sea, or priceless sapphires, within which starlight seemed to flow. Her long golden hair shimmered like sunlight-woven silk in the ocean currents, dancing lightly with the ripples. The crown she wore was ingeniously woven from natural pearls, blood-red coral, and rare shells that sparkled with ethereal light, its design both ancient and magnificent.
It was she who, in the face of near extinction of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, risked bringing disaster upon herself by taking in these survivors of the Sea God.
This was not only out of compassion, but also out of foresight—the way the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King cultivated by devouring Sea Soul Beast was known to all sea creatures.
Taking in Xiao Bai and his remaining forces is to secure a powerful ally in advance for the future joint resistance against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"Xiao Bai, I will have my people continue to care for your tribesmen's injuries." The Sea Princess's voice was ethereal and melodious, yet carried a lingering worry. "But... that fellow in the south has become increasingly restless lately. Its hunting grounds are already approaching the outskirts of our tribe."
Xiao Bai's massive shark head swayed slightly, its eyes revealing pain and hatred. "Thank you for your protection, Sea Princess. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King... it has gone completely mad. Without the suppression of Sea God Island, it thinks this ocean is its dinner table."
Mentioning Sea God Island, a ripple stirred in the Sea Princess's deep blue eyes. She couldn't help but mutter a complaint in a low voice, "The Spirit Hall Empire... they destroyed Sea God Island, shattering the balance that the ocean had maintained for ten thousand years."
"But have they considered that without the deterrent power of Sea God Island, who will restrain the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, this true scourge of the ocean? Are they going to let it turn the entire sea into a blood-red inferno?"
"And... Little Doria, that Goddess of Kindness child, was she also captured by the Spirit Hall Empire? How is she now? Has she been harmed?" Doria's Martial Soul is special, and she has a subtle affinity with the Mermaid Clan. She also seems to have received the Sea God Inheritance, so the Sea Princess is naturally concerned.
Upon hearing the Sea Princess's words, Xiao Bai's already furrowed brows deepened, and his sharp shark teeth unconsciously rubbed together.
Hatred surged endlessly within her.
She remembered the countless kin who perished under the fangs of the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the homes and compatriots shattered by the Soul Cannon of the Spirit Hall Empire, and the humiliation of her race being on the verge of extinction.
"Since our clan followed Lord Sea God and guarded Sea God Island for generations..." Xiao Bai's voice trembled uncontrollably, "Never before have we suffered such a humiliating disgrace, such a devastating calamity! Spirit Hall Empire... this is an irreconcilable enmity!"
However, beneath the boiling hatred, what terrified her even more was...
"But... Lord Sea God..."
She was bewildered. "Why... why do you never answer our prayers? Why do you not give your loyal servant even a single instruction? Have you really... abandoned us, abandoned this ocean?"
She dared not voice this question, nor even ponder it deeply.
The Sea Princess keenly sensed Xiao Bai's agitation. She sighed softly, reached out her fair, jade-like hand, and stroked Xiao Bai's sharkskin, conveying a gentle, comforting spiritual force.
The Sea Princess gazed towards the dark, deep sea to the south. "Xiao Bai, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is the most pressing threat right now. We must unite all forces we can and prepare."
······································
The sea, under a clear sky.
Wang Zhaojun and Zhen Ji stood beside the enormous ice pillar that held several Deep Sea Demon Whale frozen in place, the sea breeze carrying a faint salty tang that brushed against their hair.
Time passed slowly, but the anticipated retribution never came.
"Strange..." Wang Zhaojun unconsciously tapped the surface of the ice pillar with her fingertips, producing a crisp sound. "Logically speaking, after such a massacre of their tribe, given the violent and vengeful nature of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, he should have already unleashed a monstrous wave and personally appeared."
Zhen Ji nodded slightly and added, "According to intelligence reports, it not only has a mate, but its offspring are also quite numerous among deep-sea overlords. It's hard to say that none of the ones we've killed were its direct descendants. For both reason and emotion, it shouldn't remain silent."
But apart from the sound of wind and waves, there was no other movement on the sea.
"Could it be... that he chickened out?" Wang Zhaojun speculated.
Will this Ferocious Beast, which has dominated the deep sea for nearly a million years and even troubled the Sea God, choose to remain silent?
Zhen Ji remained silent for a moment, her gaze fixed on the unfathomable azure below. Her voice was clear and resolute. "Whatever the reason, the goal remains unchanged. If it doesn't come, we will go."
Her meaning was clear—to go into the sea and actively seek out the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
However, although Wang Zhaojun and Zhen Ji's Martial Soul attributes are related to "water" and "ice," making them adept at fighting in shallow seas or using seawater, the deep sea environment is a different story.
"Deep-sea operations are indeed disadvantageous for us." Wang Zhaojun did not shy away from the issue, but calmly analyzed, "Water pressure increases sharply with depth, the deep sea is dark, and visibility is limited. More importantly, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is in its home turf there, and its enormous size and extreme adaptation to the deep-sea environment will bring huge tactical advantages."
They began to discuss the specific details of the deep-sea operation in hushed tones...
·········
Once the agreement was reached, the two no longer hesitated.
Zhen Ji gently raised her hand, and a soft, water-like pale blue halo instantly rippled around her, creating a mysterious resonance with the vast seawater around her.
A flowing, almost invisible protective film of water elements formed around their bodies.
"Let's go," Zhen Ji said softly.
With a swift movement, the two gracefully disappeared beneath the azure sea, creating hardly any waves.
The water-element protective film allowed them to enter the water without any hindrance, as if they were part of the ocean themselves.
Upon entering the sea, the upper layer of water still carried the warmth of the lingering sunlight.
This warmth enveloped Wang Zhaojun, who was naturally prone to feeling cold, bringing her a strange sense of comfort. She squinted slightly, experiencing this fluid world that was so different from the land and the frigid land.
They began to descend.
The scene before me is slowly changing...
Chapter 328 The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King dies!
The laws of the deep sea are always simple yet cruel.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King understood this well, which is why it endured. Nearly a million years taught it to conceal its sharpness. Wasn't it precisely because it endured that it survived the Sea God god's ascension to godhood?
But it didn't expect that it would still be targeted.
The Sea Princess, thousands of miles away, was equally surprised.
When she sensed a brief but terrifying burst of energy coming from the distant sea, the pearl she was playing with suddenly shattered.
·····················
Wang Zhaojun and Zhen Ji floated in the darkness. Each of them was enveloped in a soft halo, shielding them from the immense pressure and biting cold of the sea.
The two stunningly beautiful women remained calm in the deep sea.
"It's just ahead," Wang Zhaojun said softly, her voice reaching Zhen Ji's ears.
Zhen Ji nodded slightly, her fingertips shimmering with faint blue light threads that resonated strangely with the surrounding seawater.
"Such a powerful life force field... Indeed, nearly a million years of cultivation is extraordinary."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King awoke the moment they stepped into the core of their territorial waters.
The rage of its territory being invaded erupted within it.
He was, after all, Soul Beast nearly a million years old; how could his dignity be trampled upon like this?
The Demon Whale King's enormous body may seem clumsy, but when it moves, it causes the heavens and the earth to tremble.
With just a simple flip and a flick of its tail, the unimaginable mass and power stirred up the entire sea.
The violent water pressure, accompanied by a tsunami-like undercurrent, slammed fiercely towards the two tiny figures.
If this attack were to land, it would be enough to flatten a small mountain in an instant.
However, just as Wang Zhaojun predicted, its enormous size was both its unparalleled advantage and its inescapable weakness.
This devastating attack missed its mark.
Wang Zhaojun and Zhen Ji were propelled away by the current, surviving the attack unharmed.
Zhen Ji's control over water was superb, and the sea was also her domain.
"Let's begin," Zhen Ji said calmly.
Wang Zhaojun raised her staff, and a point of extreme icy blue light shone from its tip. It wasn't dazzling, but it caused the seawater in its path to make a "crackling" sound as it was overwhelmed, instantly condensing into countless fine ice crystals.
At the same time, Zhen Ji stretched out her arms as if embracing the entire ocean.
Centered on her, the seawater within a radius of several miles suddenly "came alive," no longer a medium drifting with the current, but possessing its own will and power.
The calm water flow transformed into a raging whirlpool, sharp blades of water, and heavy shackles, surging towards the enormous target from all directions.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill - [Eternal Silent Ice Abyss].
This is a new development of the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but the conditions for its use are extremely demanding, requiring an environment filled with water to perform.
