Deep Sea Demon Whale, Worth Raising

High above the Demon Whale Sea Area, amidst a wisp of thin cloud.

Qian Xunji, without his spirit avatar manifested, stood upon the void, savoring the salty sea breeze while snacking on a fragrant squid skewer.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and his wife, the Demon Empress, were among the few soul beasts that Qian Xunji held in high regard.

As villains, the couple performed their roles with dedication, resisting the tyranny of divine power.

The Demon Empress, in particular.

She could be considered a breath of fresh air among the various works set in the Douluo Continent.

As a female soul beast, she had not fallen in love with a human male; instead, she remained single-mindedly focused on revenge and had taken concrete action to achieve it.

In contrast, Xiao Wu and the Silver Dragon King were... nothing more than love-struck fools who gave themselves away, not worth mentioning.

"It would be a real pity to kill this pair," Qian Xunji murmured, feeling quite regretful.

He thought to himself that if they were sensible and obedient, it wouldn't be impossible to keep them in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension.

The potential of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan went without saying; two 990,000-year-old super fierce beasts were proof enough of everything.

Qian Xunji retrieved the corpse of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai from his System Space.

Its fins, brain, internal organs, and teeth had all been hollowed out, leaving only flesh, blood, and bones.

With a touch of spiritual power to guide it, he fed it precisely into the target's mouth.

Qian Xunji's goal was simple: first, feed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King until it reached one million years.

Once the million-year heavenly tribulation descended, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would undoubtedly perish.

As the tribulation brewed, he would tell his target that the Dragon God forbade the soul beast race from becoming gods, and that the gods of the God Realm had tampered with the heavenly tribulations to prevent soul beasts from ascending.

Even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King refused to sacrifice itself then, he could still deliver a fatal blow while it was weakened by the tribulation.

Regardless, the seventh trial of the Asura God—defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—would certainly be cleared.

Then, by reclaiming its body, spirit ring, and spirit bone, he would be guaranteed a profit.

Deep under the sea.

A giant whale over two hundred meters long was fast asleep.

Suddenly, its nose twitched as it caught a familiar scent.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened its single eye and, seeing the hollowed-out shark corpse before it, exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the mount of that dog Poseidon?"

Without a moment's hesitation, it opened its maw and swallowed it in one gulp.

The 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark didn't taste great—it was musky and foul—but the whale ate it with great satisfaction.

As the number one lackey of Sea God Poseidon, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai had long relied on the Sea God's backing to run rampant in the ocean, bullying the weak, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had despised her for a long time.

If not for the fact that it was too lazy to travel to the Sea God Island sea area to feed, this vixen would have died long ago.

Chewing the bones and swallowing them down to be devoured and refined, its cultivation increased by several hundred years.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was curious: which brave soul was bold enough to challenge the Sea God's majesty and kill his mount?

Regardless of who it was, whether soul beast or human, as long as they targeted the Sea God's faction and killed his followers, they were alright in its book.

Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finished consuming and refining the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai, more food appeared before it: "The Evil Demon Orca King?"

Without hesitation, it swallowed it in one gulp as well.

Although the Evil Demon Orca clan led by the Evil Demon Orca King was also anti-Sea God, they held a grudge against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Relying on their numbers, the Evil Demon Orca clan had once ganged up on the couple.

If not for the fact that it had chosen to keep devouring and growing stronger to protect its wife, they might have been slaughtered and devoured by the Evil Demon Orca clan back then.

Over the next period of time, Qian Xunji continuously fed soul beast flesh to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, never one to refuse, simply kept eating.

A 100,000-year-old Ice Plain Wolf Emperor—eat, eat, eat.

A 100,000-year-old Tai Tan Snow Demon possessing the Ice God's bloodline—a fine treat.

The Azure Bull Python, a descendant of the Dragon clan with dual water and lightning attributes—a great tonic.

Just like that, under Qian Xunji's feeding, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's age climbed rapidly.

Finally, it reached one million years.

"Oh no, I ate too much."

"I shouldn't have been so greedy."

Feeling the changes in its cultivation and the crushing pressure descending from the sky, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was filled with regret.

But things had reached this point; it had no other choice but to grit its teeth and face the million-year soul beast heavenly tribulation, hoping to transform into a dragon and become a divine beast in one stroke.

"Since the Great War of the God Realm, no soul beast has been able to become a god."

A spiritual message echoed.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tone was hostile: "Who are you?!"

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, don't you want to know why the Spirit Beast clan cannot become gods?" Qian Xunji teleported to the seabed, appearing before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

His body was enveloped in a spiritual barrier, remaining untouched by the seawater.

Following the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's loud cry, his wife and daughter also awakened from their slumber.

The two approached, surrounding Qian Xunji in the center.

The Demon Empress sensed the immense energy within Qian Xunji, which was in no way inferior to her husband's, and felt a sense of worry in her heart.

A human with such formidable strength was surely here with ill intent.

Lan Fozi blinked her clear, naive eyes, curiously watching the human who dared to appear before her father.

Hmm, this man is much more handsome than those male Sea Spirit Masters on Sea God Island.

"Human, you fed this king 100,000-year Spirit Beasts to help my cultivation reach a million years; was it not for my Spirit Bone?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke, his tone still hostile but laced with a hint of confusion.

If a Spirit Beast wanted to live long, it had to remain vigilant at all times against any human that appeared before it.

Humans could not be trusted.

Hybrids like Sea God Poseidon, born of human and beast, were even less trustworthy.

"This object is called a Lie Detector. A red light means a lie, and a green light means the truth."

Qian Xunji held the Lie Detector and explained.

As he finished speaking, the green light lit up.

Lan Fozi was like a curious baby.

"Sea God Poseidon is a big villain," she said.

The green light lit up.

Lan Fozi's eyes brightened, and she continued, "Sea God Slave Island."

The green light lit up.

"Sea God High Priestess Bo Saixi has no man who wants her."

The red light lit up.

Seeing the red light, Lan Fozi tilted her round head, a giant question mark forming in her mind.

The current Sea God High Priestess Bo Saixi was already a hundred years old and still unmarried; didn't that mean no man wanted her?

Why did this Lie Detector light up red? That meant she had lied.

Lan Fozi: I don't understand, what did I say wrong?

"Fozi, we have a guest, don't be unruly." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared to be criticizing her, but his tone was actually doting.

After all, he knew that among the unmarried male Sacred Pillar Douluo on Sea God Island, any of them would surely be willing to marry Bo Saixi if she were only willing to wed.

Saying that Bo Saixi had no man who wanted her was indeed a lie.

"Why can't Spirit Beasts become gods?" He looked at Qian Xunji, his tone serious.

For the safety of his wife and daughter, he had to find out the answer.

At the same time, it was also to take revenge on Poseidon.

Without becoming a god, he would never be able to obtain the power to avenge himself against that hypocritical villain, Poseidon.

Furthermore, the million-year heavenly tribulation was approaching, and he had to find a way to survive.
