Human potential truly was beyond comparison with any Soul Beast of noble bloodline.
During the fusion sacrifice, a trace of envy also arose in the Demon Empress's heart.
But it was only envy.
If she were truly given a choice, the Demon Empress would definitely still choose to be a member of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan.
After all, the strength of their Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan was not something ordinary Soul Beasts or ordinary humans could compare to.
What was more, in terms of lifespan, humans could never match Soul Beasts.
Of course, if she could also possess Three Divine Martial Souls like Su Ming, the Demon Empress would not mind being reborn as a human.
A genuine opportunity to become a god was something that could never be traded for.
"Wuu..."
At that moment, an extraordinary whale cry suddenly echoed through the underground cavern.
That sound was the ocean itself.
It's Sea God Kyogre! The Demon Empress instantly recognized that unfamiliar yet familiar voice.
She would never forget the feeling that made her want to bow down in worship.
Because this was the god of their ocean!
This is bad. Could it be that the sacrifice is being transferred to the Kyogre Martial Soul? But it hasn't reached that stage yet, has it?
Immediately afterward, the Demon Empress's expression turned unpleasant.
Although she did not understand why Su Ming had placed the soul ring she was sacrificing at the position of Rayquaza, the God of the Sky,
since he had planned it that way, there must have been a deeper meaning behind it.
That was why the Demon Empress had not said anything.
After all, when it came to familiarity with the three gods, she was far inferior to Su Ming.
But now, the sudden appearance of Sea God Kyogre seemed to have disrupted Su Ming's arrangement.
That was why the Demon Empress was somewhat flustered.
Demon Empress, Sea God Kyogre is protecting its master of its own accord and sharing the corresponding pressure for me.
Everything proceeds as usual!
The next instant, Su Ming's voice clearly entered the Demon Empress's mind, steadying her emotions.
The Demon Empress gradually sensed that after Sea God Kyogre manifested, it was guiding this power and distributing it properly throughout Su Ming's body.
Hiss... It seems this fusion has been deemed a valid trial by the three gods.
Yet at this moment, Su Ming was still in pain.
This pain was even more intense than before.
After the Demon Empress's power entered his body, Kyogre's guidance sent it into every part of Su Ming's body.
Every inch of skin, flesh, bone, sinew, and internal organ...
The agony was easy to imagine.
But with Sea God Kyogre's protection, Su Ming would absolutely not be harmed.
Thus, Su Ming was suffering and rejoicing at the same time.
The dense fluctuations of blood energy, his pale skin, and the terrifying aura intertwined around Su Ming's body painted an incomparably bizarre scene.
"Ah!" Lan Fozu, hiding in the corner, cried out instinctively.
Kind-hearted by nature, she could no longer bear to watch.
But when she thought that this might be the last time she saw her mother, she focused all her attention back on her.
Mom... As she watched, tears streamed down Lan Fozu's face, and sorrow filled her heart.
Because her mother's figure was gradually becoming transparent and slowly dispersing.
The blood flames burned ever more fiercely, gradually changing from their original red into dark crimson.
The Demon Empress's human body also faded during this transformation, like an increasingly transparent red crystal.
"Su Ming, the fusion has reached its final stage. You must hold on."
"The Spirit Bone I bestowed upon you will merge into your body during this process.
"Furthermore, if the fusion is perfect, my Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan will grant you its greatest gift!"
"The pain to come will definitely be greater than before, but I believe in you. You can absolutely do it!!"
"You must not fall at this final stage and let all your efforts go to waste!!"
The Demon Empress's voice gradually became gentler and weaker.
At the same time, it revealed deep exhaustion.
During the fusion just now, the Demon Empress had already discovered that the Sea God's guidance of her power would also bring Su Ming tremendous pain.
That was precisely why she deliberately diverted part of her attention to warn and encourage Su Ming.
She feared that Su Ming would be unable to endure the suddenly doubled pain and cause all their efforts to fail at the very end.
And this was not merely empty promises.
During the fusion, the Demon Empress had truly seen the possibility of Su Ming inheriting her clan's innate talent.
That made her incredibly excited. What kind of terrifying monster was this fusion sacrifice going to create?!
"Don't worry!"
To reassure the Demon Empress, Su Ming also diverted part of his attention and gritted his teeth as he replied.
"Fuck..."
At that moment, Su Ming felt as though his body was about to explode.
No, not just his body. Even his soul felt the same way.
Su Ming's body convulsed and trembled violently. He felt as though it was being torn apart and ravaged at the same time.
Countless ants seemed to be crawling through every part of him, an itch that reached into his bones and spread everywhere.
But the improvements Su Ming received were undoubtedly enormous.
The Demon Empress's source power and Sea God Kyogre's guidance
made his bones crackle as though they were constantly growing and strengthening.
His heart beat without pause, undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Kid, you must kill Tang San! At this moment, the Demon Empress was not faring well either.
Because she herself was enduring this pain as well.
Although she did not suffer the pain brought by Sea God Kyogre's guidance, it was still incomparably agonizing.
But precisely because of this, the Demon Empress's eyes grew brighter as she looked at Su Ming.
If Su Ming could endure pain even greater than what she felt, it proved that she had not misjudged him in this cooperation.
The more outstanding Su Ming's performance was, the happier the Demon Empress became.
Because that meant Tang San was finished!!
Come on, let the storm rage even fiercer! Su Ming shouted inwardly, refusing the protection of Rayquaza and Groudon.
It turned out that cracks had begun to appear throughout Su Ming's Mental Sea.
Although Su Ming's spiritual power was incredibly strong, if he could not control those cracks in time,
they would inevitably erupt with a tremendous explosion in the end.
The moment it shattered completely would be the moment Su Ming stepped toward death.
That was exactly why Rayquaza, the God of the Sky, and Groudon, the God of the Earth, had been triggered to protect him on their own.
But Su Ming refused!
The shattering of the Mental Sea was indeed a devastating blow.
But with the Demon Empress's source power surging in and Sea God Kyogre's guidance, it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for tempering.
To rebuild after breaking!!
