Core Flame Domain! Spear of Divine Retribution Slices the Demon Whale! Great Tonic!
"Bring it on!"
"Let me see what the Soul Beast of the sea are like!"
The moment Bai Yuan finished speaking, the pair of dazzling golden wings on his back suddenly spread open.
The wingtip sliced through the damp, cold air, leaving a trail of light that had not yet faded.
The black armor spread rapidly from his right arm.
It conformed to every curve of his body.
Fine, dark gold lines shimmered along the edges.
"Good!"
Hahahaha
"This is the true disciple of Mu Ye."
"Go to war!"
Only strong opponents can push your limits!
Gu Yuena stood to his side and slightly behind, her gaze fixed on the armor that was taking shape.
They paused again on Bai Yuan's fifth Soul Ring.
The Soul Ring was still black, but its edges shimmered with a very faint golden halo.
It shifts back and forth between black and gold.
She was slightly taken aback, sensing that the edge of the Core Flame Domain had already spread along the sea surface.
It spread outwards from Bai Yuan's feet, enveloping the enormous body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Her elemental power paused slightly the instant it touched the edge of the Core Flame Domain.
Although she quickly returned to normal, that momentary sensation still left a brief feeling of resistance within her.
Mu Ye stood at the back, his gaze falling on the black armor, his expression slightly hardening.
The quality of that Battle Armor far exceeded that of the Two-Word Battle Armor he had ever seen.
The dark gold patterns flowing along the edges don't seem to be left from the forging process, but rather seem to grow naturally with the wearer's breath.
His gaze briefly swept over the pair of golden wings on Bai Yuan's back.
He returned to the armor and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's actually a Battle Armor with growth potential!"
"I've really struck gold!"
Bai Yuan's fifth Soul Ring has fully lit up.
Black and gold light spread out beneath his feet, silently merging with the boundary of the Core Flame Domain.
The giant eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale narrowed slightly under the light.
Bai Yuan has already made his move.
The figure, a blend of black and gold, rushed along the sea surface towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
A white water stain was left behind, slowly healing.
Gu Yuena's fingertips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to follow.
But that force had already slipped through the gap between the two.
Before entering the Demon Whale's perception range, it first came into contact with the boundary of her perception that had not yet been fully extended.
She looked away, her fingers closing again, without rushing to chase after him.
The giant eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale narrowed slightly at that moment.
Its sensory edge comes into contact with the Core Flame Domain the instant it touches it.
That domain wasn't scorching hot, but it possessed a texture that instinctively made it want to retreat.
It is slowly converging from the edge to the center, pressing all its energy back into its body.
Destruction became the dominant theme of the world, and the Will of Destruction spread along the sea.
Where it was covered, even the undulations of the sea became somewhat gentler.
It sensed that will was eroding the boundaries of its perception.
Like a layer of glaze slowly solidifying.
It compresses the air around it, making it even denser.
It let out a low growl and activated the Demon Whale Domain.
The Demon Whale Sea Domain spread out around it, bringing the seawater within a radius of a hundred miles under its control.
The ocean current changed direction at that moment, and the air pressure around it dropped sharply.
Lightning flickered intermittently in the clouds, as if gathering strength for a thunderstorm yet to begin.
But Bai Yuan was unaffected.
His own domain is suspended above the sea.
The Core Flame Domain encompasses everything around it.
The edge of the Demon Whale Domain naturally recedes upon contact with its boundary.
Bai Yuan's figure was not hindered in any way within the Demon Whale Domain.
It continued to slide along a shortening trajectory toward the side of the demon whale.
Mu Ye hovered in the sky, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over the figure approaching the demonic whale, then glancing at Gu Yuena.
He shook his head slightly.
The sound came from above:
"Gu Yue, you come and practice!"
Gu Yuena was about to respond when she suddenly stopped.
Her gaze fell on the Deep Sea Demon Whale, as if she had remembered something.
She looked at the enormous figure fighting against Bai Yuan, then looked away and lowered her eyes.
This Deep Sea Demon Whale, which devours marine life, is hated by the Sea God; it is not Sea Soul Beast truly loyal to the Sea God.
Like land-based Soul Beast, it was hunted by humans.
So, she is standing here now to help humanity hunt down a Sea Soul Beast that should have been on her side.
Her fingers tightened slightly at the cuff of her sleeve, then relaxed again.
"Oh no, I messed up again."
"Gu Yue."
Bai Yuan looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
"Spear of Divine Retribution"
The four words he uttered were not loud, but they carried a strange resonance.
An invisible ripple spread outwards from him.
The Core Flame flickered violently at that moment.
Pure and holy gold, deep and malevolent black, and Strife red.
Three distinct lights converged in his palm, merging into a chaotic, interwoven energy.
It spread along his arm to his whole body, advancing along the trajectory of every meridian.
A beam of light instantly enveloped his entire body.
The air around him was bathed in a dark golden halo.
The chaotic energy spread along the sea surface, silently merging with the edge of the Core Flame Domain.
It incorporates all the free energy that touches it into its own Order.
Mu Ye's pupils contracted slightly.
The intensity of that amplification was almost comparable to that of Golden Awakening.
He has seen many geniuses and has personally mentored many people.
But it's rare to see someone maintain such a composed pace of growth in such a contest.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale was shocked; the human looked quite young.
But its domain was so easily dismantled by the impact of that chaotic energy.
The boy in front of him, whose Soul Power was clearly inferior to his, possessed such incredible power.
Bai Yuan's figure moved again at that moment.
The light of his fourth Soul Skill shone within him.
The patterns along the edge of the armor spread outwards, further amplifying his aura.
Bai Yuan gripped the Spear of Divine Retribution tightly, its shaft shimmering with a chaotic light under the sunlight.
The spear sank slightly in his palm, as if responding to the surging power within him.
Then he thrust the spear forward.
It was just a simple stab.
With unstoppable force, it pierced the side of the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
The air was torn apart the moment the spear pierced the whale's body.
A visible shockwave rippled outwards from the point of contact, creating a towering wall of water on the sea surface.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale can exceed 100 meters in length.
But at this moment, its massive body seemed to be lifted up from below by an irresistible force.
The dragon's entire body flipped upwards uncontrollably.
The indifference in the giant eyes was replaced in that instant by something never before seen.
That was an instinctive reaction to unexpected power.
The impact, more violent than anticipated, caused its spine to instinctively tighten in order to absorb the tremor that was spreading within its body.
Dragon blood gushed from the wound, and the dark golden blood spread out on the sea surface in a slowly expanding halo.
"Holy crap!"
"You should have said so sooner!"
"This is really good stuff!!!"
Mu Ye's figure fell from the height and landed steadily on the water's surface.
He reached out and caught the scattering dragon blood.
Not a single drop was wasted.
Bai Yuan gave his opponent no further chance to breathe.
The Spear of Divine Retribution twirled in his hand, its tip once again pointing at the Demon Whale's head.
The wound, which had not yet fully healed, was still slowly oozing blood.
With a swift movement of his feet, his figure traced an arc along the sea surface, and his domain expanded around him.
It merged with the Will of Destruction Entanglement the spear tip.
The giant eyes of the demon whale shifted slightly at that moment, as if searching for the approaching aura, but it could not pinpoint its location.
Its spiritual power has been largely destroyed.
It opened its enormous mouth, and a thick column of energy gushed out from deep within its throat.
It carried seawater and lightning, and blasted towards the direction where Bai Yuan had just been.
Bai Yuan is no longer there.
He appeared below and to its side, the tip of the Spear of Divine Retribution piercing the still-unhealed wound.
The Destruction intent spread inwards along its body the moment it penetrated the wound.
The Will of Destruction followed closely behind, eroding its Divine Core along the completed path.
The giant eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale suddenly widened.
It sensed its mental power being suppressed layer by layer.
It felt as if something was slowly draining its energy circuits.
That will didn't seem to have invaded from the outside; it seemed more like it had spontaneously grown from the unhealed wound within its body.
Along its most vulnerable point, the crack was pushed all the way to the deeper core.
Its enormous mouth was still open, but no new energy had condensed into shape.
Bai Yuan's figure froze for a moment.
Then he withdrew the Spear of Divine Retribution and retreated a short distance.
The demon whale's body slowly tilted towards the surface of the sea.
Its massive body was losing support and slowly tilting towards the deep sea.
A jet-black Soul Ring slowly emerged from its body.
