Yi Yi's Dark Wings beat behind him, keeping him more than a hundred meters above the sea.

Beneath him, the seawater churned apart as a colossal creature slowly rose from the ocean.

This enormous creature was over one hundred and fifty meters long, its entire body sapphire-blue, with two huge eyes on its head.

At over ninety-nine thousand years old, Yi Yi measured a full eleven meters in his battle form, which already made him quite massive.

But compared to the Deep Sea Demon Whale before him, he was utterly dwarfed and appeared rather small.

"You still dare come here to die?" the Deep Sea Demon Whale growled, his voice thick with fury.

As he spoke, he attacked. His enormous tail rose before slamming heavily onto the surface of the sea.

Bang! The seawater exploded, and tens of thousands of droplets shot into the sky, firing at Yi Yi like a rain of arrows.

"Yiyi!" Yi Yi remained completely calm. His wings flapped as he charged straight through the flying droplets toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale.

The instant he moved, gray light flared across his body as he activated his defensive skill.

Evil God's Protection. A gray barrier appeared around Yi Yi's body, shielding him from the incoming droplets.

These droplets were no weak attack. A Soul Douluo would practically be riddled full of holes by them.

Even a Title Douluo could be seriously injured if they were careless enough to be hit.

The droplet attack was formidable, but it was not a direct attack from the Deep Sea Demon Whale after all. It failed to break through Yi Yi's Evil God's Protection.

Yi Yi successfully burst through the water barrage and landed atop the Deep Sea Demon Whale's massive body.

The moment he landed, the sharp Evil God Hook viciously stabbed into its body.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale, with over five hundred thousand years of cultivation, had thick skin and tough flesh, and his defenses were formidable. Even Yi Yi had to use some strength before piercing through.

The moment it pierced in, Yi Yi began crazily absorbing his energy and life force, while his four tiger claws gripped tightly into the creature's flesh.

Yi Yi's tiger claws were also incredibly sharp. With force, they successfully tore through its skin.

The loss of energy and life force within his body made the Deep Sea Demon Whale let out a shrill cry, the pain unbearable.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Energy erupted violently from within the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Layer upon layer of dark-blue energy blasted outward.

The seawater was blasted hundreds of zhang into the air by the energy shockwaves, and the sea for dozens of li around them surged violently.

Yi Yi was nearly blown away by the energy, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to adjust in time.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale's attempt to shake off Yi Yi failed. Yi Yi still clung to his body, rapidly draining his energy and life force.

The last time Yi Yi had fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale, he had not used this move against him.

This was the first time the Deep Sea Demon Whale had faced such a situation, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

His response was much like that of the whales and sharks Yi Yi had drained to death: he thrashed about wildly, trying to shake Yi Yi off.

But Yi Yi had mastered dealing with this move to perfection. He constantly adjusted his posture and was not thrown off.

After struggling for several minutes, the Deep Sea Demon Whale finally reacted and began changing forms.

The surrounding seawater roiled violently, the sky darkened as though night had fallen, and dark-purple lightning crashed down.

The transformation of this Deep Sea Demon Whale with over five hundred thousand years of cultivation caused an enormous commotion, creating an intensely oppressive atmosphere.

Yi Yi temporarily pulled away from the Deep Sea Demon Whale and used the time of his transformation to prepare an attack.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale transformed into a man clad in dark-blue armor. He had ordinary features, demonic patterns on his face, and an unsettlingly sinister air.

The man's expression was grim, and his aura was somewhat unstable. Clearly, Yi Yi's Evil God Hook had caused him no small loss just now.

The instant he appeared, Yi Yi unleashed his attack. One dark energy sphere after another tore through the air.

This was another of his innate skills, called Dark Demonic Evil Thunder, an attack formed from the fusion of wind, lightning, and evil attributes.

The man roared, and the surrounding seawater suddenly exploded, sending pillars of water hundreds of zhang into the sky.

He brought his palms together before him, and the blasted seawater gathered together, forming a water sphere several meters in diameter.

He forcefully pushed the water sphere forward. It collided with the incoming Dark Demonic Evil Thunder, producing a continuous series of explosions.

The Dark Demonic Evil Thunder shattered one after another, while the water sphere rapidly shrank.

In the end, all the Dark Demonic Evil Thunder was blocked, and the water sphere also exploded. Their attacks had ended in a draw.

After their attacks collided, the energy in this region became exceptionally violent.

Yi Yi roared like thunder and moved on all fours, running through the air as he charged toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale with savage fury and an extreme killing intent.

Watching the huge creature charge at him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale hesitated briefly before charging forward as well.

He wanted to see whether, without being in his true form, he could contend physically with this Black Tiger.

Soul beasts were strongest when fighting in their true forms. After transforming into humans, their strength and defenses would both decline.

And the decline was not small, usually reaching twenty to thirty percent. For the Deep Sea Demon Whale, it was close to thirty percent.

If he were in his true form, he would certainly be confident of surpassing the Black Tiger before him in physical strength. But now, he had no absolute confidence.

As they drew close, Yi Yi's enormous tiger paw slammed down. The force behind it was terrifying, blasting apart all the air ahead and creating a vacuum.

Besides sheer force, Yi Yi's strike also contained the three attributes of wind, lightning, and evil.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale also attacked with all his strength. The power behind his punch was terrifying, and it carried the power of the sea.

Among the soul beasts capable of drawing upon the power of the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was one of them, and its kind was among the most adept at doing so.

Bang! The enormous tiger paw collided with the Deep Sea Demon Whale's tiny fist, and the sound of clashing power was especially deafening.

The surrounding seawater exploded upward once more, and the sky seemed to be pouring with rain as immense quantities of water fell.

After the collision, both Yi Yi and the Deep Sea Demon Whale were blasted back, each retreating more than a hundred meters.

Of the two, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was sent farther back. He had fallen into a disadvantage in this contest of strength.

"Damn it!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale was somewhat enraged. If he had been in his true form, how could he possibly have lost to this Black Tiger?

He had great confidence in the power of his true form and firmly believed he would not lose to the other party.

The reason soul beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale were overlords of the sea with few rivals was their enormous size.

Not only in the ocean—even on land, the larger the creature, the stronger its combat power generally was.

Though it was not absolute, being large did indeed provide greater advantages, and this was especially apparent in the ocean.

The powerful soul beasts in the sea were usually whales or sharks.

Evil Spirit Orcas and Deep Sea Demon Whales were all at the top of the ocean's food chain. Even flood dragons were somewhat inferior to them.

Size was what allowed the Deep Sea Demon Whale to dominate the ocean. Transforming into a human was equivalent to abandoning his greatest advantage.

Without his true form, his strength had weakened considerably, which was why he had suffered in the earlier clash.

In truth, he had not suffered much of a disadvantage, since they were currently fighting in the ocean.

Here, Yi Yi could only display seventy to eighty percent of his strength. The loss in his power was roughly comparable to the loss suffered by the Deep Sea Demon Whale after transforming into a human.

The two sides were essentially starting from the same line. Neither truly held an advantage.
