Both excitement and concern stemmed from that Deep Sea Demon Whale that was over five hundred thousand years old. Soul Beasts of that age could take human form.
Once that shameless fighting style stopped working, the battle would not be so easy. Could Yi Yi handle it?
To gain some confidence, he carefully assessed Yi Yi's strength and compared it with that Deep Sea Demon Whale that was over five hundred thousand years old.
In the end, after taking every factor into consideration, he felt that Yi Yi's chances of winning were around forty-six percent.
There was one prerequisite: when Yi Yi faced that Deep Sea Demon Whale, its age had to reach over ninety thousand years.
Without over ninety thousand years, its chances of winning might only be a little over twenty percent. If it encountered the whale then, its odds of survival would be slim.
That was also because they would be fighting in the sea. If it were on land, Yi Yi's chances against a Soul Beast over five hundred thousand years old would be much higher.
After this assessment, Jing Chen felt somewhat reassured and continued hunting Soul Beasts with Yi Yi in the Demon Whale Sea Domain.
Moreover, he made that Deep Sea Demon Whale of over five hundred thousand years their final target. Once Yi Yi devoured it, it should be able to break through to one hundred thousand years.
It was worth mentioning that the Demon Whale Sea Domain was extremely vast, covering an area equivalent to two-thirds of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Its enormous size was related to how every Deep Sea Demon Whale occupied a territory of its own.
Each Deep Sea Demon Whale claimed a huge stretch of territory, and with many of them combined, the Demon Whale Sea Domain became so vast.
Jing Chen was more than happy with this arrangement, as it reduced the chances of him and Yi Yi being gang-attacked.
Time passed silently, and Jing Chen had now spent nearly a year and a half in the Demon Whale Sea Domain.
Jing Chen had also celebrated his eleventh birthday over a month ago. He could now be considered a big boy.
Because he frequently ate Soul Beast meat and cultivated, his physical development was relatively advanced.
He was now one meter seventy-five tall, with a well-proportioned build—the sort who looked slim in clothes but was muscular without them.
His lean, sturdy physique, fair skin, bright eyes, and refined features made him stand out immensely.
Even more outstanding was his Soul Power Level. At eleven years old, he was level thirty-eight. Such a Soul Power Level was unmatched among his peers.
Compared to Jing Chen's improvement, Yi Yi's growth was undoubtedly even greater.
After a year and a half of devouring Soul Beasts in the Demon Whale Sea Domain, its age had reached over ninety-nine thousand years.
Reaching this age had not been easy. It had been built upon the lives of hundreds of Deep Sea Demon Whales.
As Yi Yi's age grew higher and higher, increasing its cultivation became increasingly difficult.
For Soul Beasts younger than it, even if they were only a few hundred years younger, devouring them would not increase its age by more than a hundred years.
Now, even devouring a Soul Beast at the one-hundred-thousand-year level could only raise its cultivation by a few hundred years.
Once it reached one hundred thousand years, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would probably no longer be as effective in improving it.
"Yi Yi, next, we're going to find that Deep Sea Demon Whale that's over five hundred thousand years old. Are you confident?"
Jing Chen held the miniature Yi Yi before him and asked in a deliberately solemn tone.
Over the past year or so, they had hunted the Deep Sea Demon Whales with devastating thoroughness. They had nearly wiped them out.
Leaving aside the Deep Sea Demon Whales at the ten-thousand-year level, they alone had killed thirteen at the one-hundred-thousand-year level.
Among those thirteen Soul Beasts were one over two hundred thousand years old and one over three hundred thousand years old.
Of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in this Demon Whale Sea Domain, only that Deep Sea Demon Whale over five hundred thousand years old should remain.
Today, they were going to deal with that Deep Sea Demon Whale over five hundred thousand years old. It was their final target.
After hunting this Super Ferocious Beast, he planned to leave with Yi Yi. There was no need to remain here any longer.
His goal was to raise Yi Yi's age to one hundred thousand years. He did not expect anything beyond that.
And after devouring that Super Ferocious Beast, this goal should be achieved.
"Yiyi! (Yes!)" Yi Yi nodded vigorously, brimming with fighting spirit and confidence.
"Very good!" Jing Chen smiled in satisfaction, then began asking Yi Yi questions.
His questions concerned the abilities of the Deep Sea Demon Whale. He told Yi Yi every ability of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that he could think of.
Although that Deep Sea Demon Whale over five hundred thousand years old might not possess as many abilities as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that was close to a million years old,
it definitely would not have few abilities. It might even possess some of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's abilities.
He wanted Yi Yi to remember these abilities well. If that Deep Sea Demon Whale truly knew them, Yi Yi would be better able to respond.
Yi Yi was very clever. It remembered everything Jing Chen taught it and answered smoothly.
"When we fight later, you must be careful. Don't be too careless, understand?"
Jing Chen repeatedly reminded it. Yi Yi's opponent was a Soul Beast over five hundred thousand years old, and they would be in the sea, the environment its opponent favored most.
This could be called an inherent disadvantage. The coming battle was destined not to be easy, and there was no room for carelessness.
"Yiyi... (Got it...)" Yi Yi nodded repeatedly to show that it understood, while urging Jing Chen along. It could hardly wait any longer.
Jing Chen could not help smiling. This little fellow really was impatient. He said nothing further and sent Yi Yi out of the Time and Space Divine Tower.
The moment it emerged from the Time and Space Divine Tower, Yi Yi swallowed the tower into its belly and headed toward the center of the Demon Whale Sea Domain.
It directly used its innate ability, Space Shuttle, teleporting to the center of the sea domain.
Yi Yi did not waste time searching. It simply released its aura.
Not long after it released its aura, the previously tranquil sea surface began to ripple.
The ripples grew increasingly violent, and a terrifying aura began to emerge from below. The icy killing intent was completely undisguised.
Yi Yi was not unfamiliar with this aura at all. It had not only felt it before, but had also fought its owner.
Over the past year or so, Jing Chen and Yi Yi had encountered that Super Ferocious Beast before.
At the time, Yi Yi had killed that Deep Sea Demon Whale over three hundred thousand years old. Just after extracting its Spirit Bone, it sensed that terrifying aura.
That Deep Sea Demon Whale had also been enraged by Yi Yi's continuous hunting of Deep Sea Demon Whales and had charged over with murderous fury.
The other side had arrived too quickly for Yi Yi to escape in time, forcing it into a direct confrontation. The two sides had clashed.
Although Yi Yi had not possessed its current cultivation of over ninety-nine thousand years at the time, it had still been over ninety-three thousand years old, so its strength had not been much weaker than it was now.
It was only because it had already fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale over three hundred thousand years old and expended considerable energy.
Thus, it had fallen into a disadvantage during the battle and was ultimately forced to flee in a sorry state, not daring to continue fighting.
Had it forced the battle then, there was a high chance it would have been killed. That Super Ferocious Beast was no joke.
Feeling the aura of this Super Ferocious Beast again, Yi Yi was excited. This time, it would not run away.
