A chorus of sharp breaths rose from both continents at once.
[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: A ninety-nine-percent divine body?] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: Though there is some exaggeration in its million years of cultivation, it truly is only one step away from becoming a god!] [Star Luo Empire Duke of Netherworld: No wonder it ranked ahead of Snow Empress.] [Rogue Soul Emperor: If this level of strength is only seventh place, what kind of monsters are the six above it?]
On the screen.
Two massive clusters of energy appeared within the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body.
One was located in its head.
The other was located in its torso.
The two energy clusters, one yin and one yang, revolved around each other and connected through its meridians to form a complete cycle.
[The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King possesses Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores.] [The Twin Soul Cores can absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth on their own.] [When one Soul Core expends its power, the other can swiftly replenish it.] [As long as the Twin Soul Cores are not shattered simultaneously, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King can continue fighting.]
The Heavenly Screen erupted once more.
[Sword Douluo Chen Xin: Yin and yang complement each other, forming a cycle of their own. Its Soul Power will almost never run dry.] [Sea Horse Douluo: With a million years of cultivation, a ninety-nine-percent divine body, and Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores, ordinary Peerless Douluo are no match for it.] [Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: Seventh place on the Supreme Ranking is well deserved.]
Spirit City.
Bibi Dong gripped the Rakshasa Sword, her gaze fixed on the two Soul Cores within the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body.
"Ninety-nine-percent divine body."
"Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores."
With her current strength, even wielding the Rakshasa Sword, she might not be able to suppress the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in a direct confrontation.
Its Soul Power was simply too vast.
Its physical body was even closer to a true divine body.
Killing it would be no easy task.
Bibi Dong quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Perhaps I am still not its match right now."
"Once I complete the Rakshasa God Trial and truly become a god, this whale will have no choice but to submit."
She looked toward the ranking, which was gradually nearing its end.
The seventh-ranked Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was already just one step away from becoming a god.
What reward would the Heavenly Dao bestow next?
Sea God Island.
The seven Sacred Pillar Douluo gathered beneath Sea God Mountain.
Sea Horse Douluo's expression was solemn.
"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was already close to God Rank."
"After receiving the Heavenly Dao's reward, its strength will certainly rise even further."
Sea Lance Douluo looked toward the Sea God Temple.
"If it invades Sea God Island again, how will we stop it?"
The Sacred Pillar Douluo all fell silent.
Inside the Sea God Temple.
Bo Saixi held her staff, her crimson gown trailing down the steps.
She too was watching the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
A ninety-nine-percent divine body had already exceeded what ordinary Peerless Douluo could contend against.
If the Heavenly Dao's reward helped it take that final step, the entire ocean would lose its balance.
Bo Saixi raised her eyes toward the Sea God statue.
"Since Lord Sea God left it alive, he must have made arrangements long ago."
"Sea God Island will not be destroyed by a single Sea Spirit Beast."
In the depths of the ocean.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King floated on the surface.
Its single eye reflected only the golden radiance that was about to descend.
The ranking was finally about to end.
Thinking of the rewards Evil Emperor and Snow Empress had received, it slammed its enormous tail heavily against the sea.
A towering wave surged into the heavens.
"Excellent!"
"This king is only one final step away from becoming a god."
"As long as the reward can complete my divine body, this king will be able to cross that threshold completely!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already seen its chance to become a god.
Once it became a true God Rank Soul Beast, even Bo Saixi would no longer be able to do anything to it.
Amid countless expectant gazes.
The ocean scene on the Heavenly Screen slowly faded away.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's enormous figure hovered above the sky.
Golden words descended after it.
[Seventh Place on the Supreme Powerhouse Ranking, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!] [Heavenly Dao rewards settled!] [Reward One: Cultivation increased by four hundred thousand years!] [Reward Two: Divine Artifact, Deep Sea Demon Halberd!] [Reward Three: One Bloodline Reversion!]
The three lines of text illuminated both continents.
A dense flood of comments instantly filled the sky.
[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Four hundred thousand years of cultivation!] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: It already possesses a million years of cultivation. How powerful will it become after gaining another four hundred thousand years?] [Sword Douluo Chen Xin: The Deep Sea Demon Halberd should be a Divine Artifact perfectly suited to it.] [Star Luo Empire Duke of Netherworld: The seventh-place reward is even more terrifying than those of the previous two!] [Rogue Soul Emperor: What exactly is Bloodline Reversion?]
Countless Soul Beasts were also staring at the final reward.
Cultivation and Divine Artifacts were both easy enough to understand.
But Bloodline Reversion had never appeared among the previous rewards.
[Heaven Dou Empire Soul Master: Could the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's ancestor have been an even more powerful whale-type Soul Beast?] [Sea Horse Douluo: Among Sea Spirit Beasts, there has never been any mention of a whale bloodline stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale.] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: According to ancient legends of Douluo Continent, the origin of all Soul Beasts is connected to the Dragon Clan.] [Rogue Soul Master: Could it be...]
[Bloodline Reversion can awaken the most ancient bloodline within a living being.] [The Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan possesses a faint Dragon Clan bloodline.] [After Bloodline Reversion, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King will obtain the Deep Sea Demon Dragon Whale bloodline.] [Its physical body, Soul Power, talent, and level of life will all undergo comprehensive enhancement.]
Golden words appeared.
Both continents were shaken once again.
[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: Dragon Clan bloodline!] [Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King actually possesses Dragon Clan bloodline as well?] [Sea Horse Douluo: A Deep Sea Demon Dragon Whale... could it be the descendant of the Dragon Clan and whale-type Soul Beasts?] [Sword Douluo Chen Xin: After Bloodline Reversion, it will be only one final step away from true God Rank.] [Rogue Soul Emperor: This reward is even more terrifying than immortal herbs!]
Star Dou Great Forest.
Bear Lord stared at the Heavenly Screen, his broad palm resting before him.
"Deep Sea Demon Dragon Whale bloodline."
"Why can it obtain Dragon Clan bloodline?"
Myriad Demon King stared at the golden words.
"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King already possessed a trace of Dragon Clan bloodline."
"The Heavenly Dao's reward merely elevated that trace of bloodline to its peak."
Bear Lord glanced toward the Lake of Life.
"Is Dragon Clan bloodline really that powerful?"
Di Tian turned around.
His golden pupils settled on Bear Lord.
"You can go to the deep sea and try fighting it."
Bear Lord immediately shut his mouth.
Bi Ji looked at the enormous whale body on the Heavenly Screen.
"Snow Empress obtaining the Eternal Snow Lotus already made countless Soul Beasts envious."
"This Bloodline Reversion for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is even more valuable than the Eternal Snow Lotus."
Myriad Demon King nodded lightly.
"Immortal herbs can only improve one's life essence."
"But a Divine-Level Dragon Bloodline can directly change a Soul Beast's racial limit."
Upon the lake.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes remained calm.
The Deep Sea Demon Dragon Whale bloodline was not considered top-tier among the Dragon Clan.
But for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, this reversion was already enough to complete its transformation.
It had originally possessed a ninety-nine-percent divine body.
With another four hundred thousand years of cultivation and a Divine Artifact, it would indeed be difficult to find another opponent beneath God Rank.
In the depths of the ocean.
Three pillars of Heavenly Dao light descended from the sky.
The sea surface split apart with a thunderous roar.
The first pillar of light merged into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body.
Four hundred thousand years of cultivation transformed into vast energy, constantly circulating through its Twin Soul Cores.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which had already reached a million years of cultivation, rose higher still.
One million one hundred thousand years.
One million two hundred thousand years.
One million four hundred thousand years.
Vast Soul Power filled the sea region.
Within a thousand-mile radius, the seawater churned violently.
A great number of Sea Spirit Beasts lay prostrate on the seabed, not daring to approach.
The second pillar of light descended.
A massive purple-black halberd appeared above the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The halberd was hundreds of meters long.
Dark golden dragon patterns covered both sides of its blade, while a deep-blue crystal core was embedded at its center.
[Divine Artifact, Deep Sea Demon Halberd.] [It can command the power of the ocean.] [When its wielder is in the sea, Soul Power recovery speed is greatly increased.] [The Deep Sea Demon Halberd can freely change size according to its wielder's body.]
