With Yi Yi's Space Shuttle skill, Yun Ze reached the vicinity of the Demon Whale Sea Domain in just two days.
The Demon Whale Sea Domain was more than sixty thousand kilometers from land. It was undeniably far away.
Jing Chen did not head straight into the Demon Whale Sea Domain, instead keeping several dozen kilometers away from its edge.
After arriving, he used his Ice Attribute ability to create a slab of ice over ten square meters in size.
This slab of ice served as his foothold. He would be staying on it for quite some time.
Jing Chen stood atop the ice and gazed into the distance. Yi Yi lay on his head, also looking ahead.
"What an oppressive feeling..." Jing Chen murmured, his expression slightly grave.
The distant place he was watching was the Demon Whale Sea Domain, known as humanity's foremost forbidden zone at sea.
The Demon Whale Sea Domain was no simple place. Even from afar, it made him feel uncomfortable, as though invisible pressure were bearing down on him.
"Yi Yi, let's go over there and see just how powerful these Deep Sea Demon Whales are." Jing Chen withdrew his gaze and spoke to Yi Yi atop his head.
"Yiyi." Yi Yi nodded excitedly, activating his spatial skill and teleporting himself and Jing Chen over.
After entering the Demon Whale Sea Domain, Jing Chen continued using his old method, drawing Deep Sea Demon Whales over with Soul Beast blood.
Blood was even more enticing to Deep Sea Demon Whales than it was to Giant Tooth Sharks.
Less than ten minutes after Jing Chen released the blood of a Soul Beast over fifty thousand years old, a Deep Sea Demon Whale swam toward them.
Deep Sea Demon Whales could be considered the largest creatures in the ocean. Once they surpassed fifty thousand years, their bodies were generally over fifty meters long.
Upon reaching a Hundred Thousand Years, they were usually over a hundred meters long. After that, their length increased by more than ten meters for every additional Hundred Thousand Years of growth.
The first Deep Sea Demon Whale Jing Chen encountered was around seventy thousand years old, yet it was larger than the Giant Tooth Shark from before that had been over two hundred thousand years old.
Jing Chen liked such enormous creatures immensely, because Yi Yi could deal with them easily.
And just as Jing Chen had expected, Yi Yi's shameless fighting style left the Deep Sea Demon Whale utterly helpless.
Its massive size was usually an advantage, allowing its species to become overlords of the sea.
But advantages were relative. When facing Yi Yi, that size became an absolute disadvantage.
No matter how it struggled, it could not shake Yi Yi off. In the end, Yi Yi drained it to death.
Jing Chen's luck was not bad. This Deep Sea Demon Whale of over seventy thousand years had dropped a Spirit Bone as soon as he arrived.
At over seventy thousand years old and with a complete shape, this Spirit Bone could be considered an exceptionally high-quality one.
After killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale, Jing Chen had Yi Yi cut open its brain and take out the Whale Rubber inside.
All whale-type Soul Beasts could produce Whale Rubber, but the Whale Rubber produced by Deep Sea Demon Whales was of even better quality.
Jing Chen had reached this conclusion after comparing it to the Whale Rubber he had obtained before.
More importantly, Deep Sea Demon Whales produced far more Whale Rubber, several times as much as other whale-type Soul Beasts.
This was probably related to the Deep Sea Demon Whale's enormous size. It was only natural for it to produce more Whale Rubber.
"I should be able to have all the Whale Rubber I want now." Jing Chen could not help but laugh.
Whale Rubber, which others found difficult to even taste, would probably become a staple food for him in the coming period.
Even disciples of great sects could not enjoy such treatment. They could only envy him.
Whale Rubber truly was a rare treasure. Eating it was highly effective in strengthening his body.
Its taste was not particularly good, and eating it was a bit of an ordeal every time. Still, for the sake of its benefits, he endured it.
Besides hunting Deep Sea Demon Whales, they also hunted other Soul Beasts. Otherwise, Jing Chen would have nothing to eat.
Through their experiments, they confirmed that the meat of shark- and whale-type Soul Beasts truly did not taste good. It had a strange odor.
Yi Yi could tolerate it, so his food was usually the sharks and whales they hunted.
Jing Chen, on the other hand, usually ate Soul Beasts such as octopuses and crabs, and sometimes ordinary seafood as well.
With the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen's life at sea was not too difficult.
He spent most of his time inside the Time and Space Divine Tower, conducting research and working on his production equipment.
At such times, the Time and Space Divine Tower was inside Yi Yi's stomach, while Yi Yi hunted Soul Beasts outside.
When he encountered a lone Soul Beast, he killed it. If there were several, he immediately fled toward the surface and contacted Jing Chen, who brought him into the spatial dimension.
The man and beast had coordinated this way many times, and they had become highly proficient at it. Nothing had gone wrong so far.
Every day, Jing Chen set aside seven hours for cultivation. Because of the environment, his cultivation usually did not go smoothly.
He was often attacked by Soul Beasts, encountering one on average every three hours or so.
Jing Chen was helpless in the face of this situation and somewhat missed the uninterrupted cultivation time on the island.
The cultivation process was not smooth, but there was nothing he could do. It was not as though he could stop cultivating because of it.
He persisted nonetheless, and after a while, he grew accustomed to having his cultivation interrupted.
Because he ate Soul Beast meat every day and used the correct cultivation method, Jing Chen's cultivation rose fairly quickly.
Nearly eleven months had passed since he had reached level thirty-one.
During that time, his Soul Power had successfully risen by three levels, reaching level thirty-four.
Nearly one level every four months was not particularly fast, but neither was it very slow.
Jing Chen's cultivation speed had slowed not because he had become lax, but because the drawback of the Extreme Martial Soul had begun to reveal itself.
Extreme Martial Souls were universally acknowledged as powerful, but they had a serious flaw: after reaching level thirty, cultivation speed slowed down.
Jing Chen was currently going through this period of slow cultivation, which would continue until he reached level seventy.
During this slow cultivation period, managing three levels in eleven months was already quite good.
Of course, Jing Chen himself was still dissatisfied with this cultivation speed. He hoped his Soul Power could rise faster.
When he returned to land, he would have to consider adding Soul Rings to the Time and Space Divine Tower.
With both Martial Souls cultivating together, his cultivation speed should improve considerably. He needed to reach level seventy as soon as possible and end this slow cultivation period.
There was good reason for the Demon Whale Sea Domain to be called a human forbidden zone. Extremely powerful Soul Beasts lived within it.
After staying in this region for several months, Jing Chen gradually gained some understanding of these waters through Yi Yi.
More than ten Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Demon Whales lived in the Demon Whale Sea Domain. The strongest among them seemed to be over five hundred thousand years old.
Yi Yi had learned these things by communicating with Soul Beasts while hunting them.
After learning that there was a Deep Sea Demon Whale over five hundred thousand years old here, Jing Chen felt both excited and worried.
