"My lord, may I ask why you summoned me?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wore a perfectly measured fawning smile.
His cultivation might have been overwhelming, but before Chu Yuan, who had casually shattered the Sea God's Divine Thought with a single strike, his cultivation was worth shit!
Besides, this lord before him only had around Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation...
Wait, Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King raised his head in astonishment. After confirming that his senses were not mistaken and that this lord truly possessed only Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, his heart was fiercely shaken.
As a Ferocious Beast infinitely close to a million years, he had been unable to defeat the Sea God's Divine Thought.
Yet this lord before him, with merely Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, had shattered the Sea God's Divine Thought in one blow.
Just what kind of terrifying strength could disregard the disparity brought about by cultivation like this?
Unconsciously, a trace of reverence appeared in the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's eyes.
Using Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation to crush that old Sea God bastard's Divine Thought—what a satisfying sight!
If only I could follow this lord. Then I might have a chance to avenge the eye that bastard Sea God took from me!
"Are you willing to submit to me?" Chu Yuan stood with his back to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Sunlight fell over him, coating him in a golden, divine radiance.
His wish...
Had come true!?
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stared at Chu Yuan in utter disbelief.
He was merely a little whale with somewhat higher cultivation. Could he really have caught this lord's eye?
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stood frozen in place. Happiness had come so suddenly that he did not know what to say.
Naturally, Chu Yuan could not allow the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to remain in the Demonic Whale Sea forever.
With his cultivation infinitely close to a million years, along with the Cultivation Talisman and Lightning-Avoidance Talisman, Chu Yuan would soon have a god-level combatant under his command.
Still, there was a slight gap between him and a true god-level being. After all, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could not possess a divine position. Without one, his strength would at most reach the level of a God Official.
"My lord, can I truly follow you?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked uncertainly.
Chu Yuan nodded, then turned around.
"Since I came to find you, I naturally had such intentions. However, since you are a soul beast, you must never betray the Soul Beast Clan. If you do, the fate of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan will be the fate of you and your wife."
Chu Yuan's eyes were filled with boundless majesty. Dragon might leaked from his body, making the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King feel immense pressure.
"However, this king has never been stingy with his subordinates. As long as you are willing to serve me wholeheartedly and contribute to the Soul Beast Clan, I will reward you generously. It is not impossible for me to help you cross that final heavenly condemnation and become a Divine Beast."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stood dumbfounded. To him, the words "Divine Beast" were like an unattainable white moonlight.
Had he not struggled his entire life for that very goal?
Of course, he was currently doing everything he could to suppress his cultivation, because he could not survive the final Heavenly Tribulation.
And naturally, those people in the God Realm would never allow a soul beast to pass the final Heavenly Tribulation. Even if one did, once it ascended to the God Realm, it would face the God Realm's execution.
"My lord, is everything you said true?!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not want to believe it, but Chu Yuan's Eight-Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation had truly shattered that Sea God bastard's Divine Thought.
Such methods left him no choice but to believe.
"Your end is approaching. No matter how well you suppress it, you will last no more than a thousand years. A thousand years from now, you will certainly die. Since that is the case, why not take a gamble? If you win, limitless possibilities await you. Even if you lose, it is far better than sitting around and waiting for death."
Chu Yuan's words were enormously tempting to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who was nearly unable to suppress his cultivation any longer.
A thousand years sounded like a long time, but for a Ferocious Beast like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, it might only amount to one or two periods of slumber.
To them, a thousand years was no different from the blink of an eye.
"My lord, if... I mean, if I fail in the end, could you hide the news of my death? At the very least, do not let my beloved learn of it?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King might have been ruthless and cruel, but he had always given his beloved, the Demon Empress, endless care and affection.
Chu Yuan nodded at this. Could Douluo Continent truly be the graveyard of the God of Love?
First Tian Meng fell in love with the Ice Empress, and now the million-year Ferocious Beast Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would rather die than let his wife know, fearing that she would be overcome with grief.
And that was only among soul beasts. Things were even more outrageous among humans.
What kind of heaven's favored daughter fell for a useless man whose martial soul could only fart?
They were clearly mortal enemies, yet Qian Renxue had repeatedly let her mortal enemy go.
Then there was that seductive fox. Those three from Spirit Hall were truly hopeless romantics.
"Fine. But you will definitely break through to become a Divine Beast. Since this king has said so, no one can stop it."
How domineering. This lord was truly domineering!
Looking at Chu Yuan, whose tone was so overbearing, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's heart filled with endless longing.
Now this was what a true powerhouse looked like.
"My lord, from this day onward, this whale's life is yours. If you tell me to go west, I will never go east!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King knelt on one knee upon the sea's surface, clasping his fists with a solemn expression.
"Rise. From now on, you need not call me my lord. Just call me Master. I will tell you about my origins, as well as our ultimate goal."
"Now, there is something rather important."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had already transformed into a dragon, but he was not yet a true dragon. He could not even be considered a Half-Dragon.
What Chu Yuan intended was for him to absorb and refine a drop of his blood containing pure true blood of the Dragon Clan, allowing him to transform into a Dragon Whale and elevating his bloodline into that of a Half-Dragon.
That way, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's strength would increase by at least fivefold.
It did not sound like much, but one had to understand that this was a fivefold increase atop strength close to a million years!
"This is a drop of blood from a purebred True Dragon. Only after you fuse it into your bloodline and refine it will your dragon transformation truly be complete."
"Though it cannot turn you into a member of the True Dragon Clan, becoming a Half-Dragon will not be a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of golden blood emerged from Chu Yuan's forehead, radiating dense dragon might.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King held the drop of dragon blood in both hands. At that moment, he felt as though it weighed ten thousand jin!
"After refining it, bring this dragon scale and come find me in the Star Dou Forest. If I am not there, someone will bring you to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan condensed a golden dragon scale in his hand. After handing it to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, his body abruptly vanished, as though he had never been there.
"This subordinate thanks Master for your supreme grace! This subordinate will certainly not disappoint Master's expectations!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King heavily knelt toward the place where Chu Yuan had just stood, thanking him in his own unique way.
