The Stunned Crowd and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Shock

[Northern Underworld Continent · Bei Minghan: Naturally. Why else would they be called the Five Elders?

How laughably ignorant you are. This little display frightened you? You haven't seen anything yet. You'll understand soon enough.

It seems the people of Douluo Continent are nothing special. There's no need to fear them.]

The crowd was furious, but they couldn't find a single point to argue. They couldn't win. They simply couldn't.

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Hmph! I understand now. I finally understand!

Northern Underworld Empire, you can't fool me!]

[Northern Underworld Continent · General Long Wei: What's gotten into you this time?]

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Hahaha! I finally see it. This Five Elders member you speak of is, at most, a Titled Douluo. He isn't all that powerful.

The truly impressive thing is that suit of armor he's wearing, isn't it?]

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: At first, I thought it was ordinary iron armor. But after a closer look, I realized that armor is also a Soul Tool, isn't it?

You used Soul Tool technology to produce such tremendous power. You nearly fooled me!]

Aboard the warship, General Long Wei exchanged a glance with his deputy, a commander named Feng Ying, and they burst out laughing.

[Northern Underworld Continent · Feng Ying: You're killing me, Yu Xiaogang. You really are as stupid as the general said!]

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Who are you to insult Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?]

[Northern Underworld Continent · Feng Ying: I am Feng Ying, deputy to General Long Wei of the Northern Underworld Empire. I'm a Level 90 Soul Douluo, and my Martial Soul is the Divine Fire Phoenix!

I'm laughing because you aren't just stupid—you're a fool!

Whatever we used, that power is real. So what if it's a Soul Tool? Could you withstand that strike?]

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: I... well...]

The question left Yu Xiaogang dumbstruck. She was right. Whether that power came from their own strength or a Soul Tool, its force was real. It wasn't going to vanish. They could still beat the daylights out of any opponent on Douluo Continent.

Even the Shrek members who had been about to cheer for Yu Xiaogang fell silent. They felt rather foolish themselves.

[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Hmph! Who knows how many times that Soul Tool of yours can be used? If it only works once, you're finished!]

[Northern Underworld Continent · General Long Wei: Forget it, Feng Ying. We'll never wake someone who's pretending to sleep. Let them bask in their own delusions.

Master has already cleared the path ahead. All we need to do is set out!]

[Northern Underworld Continent · Feng Ying: Yes, sir!]

Aboard the warship, Feng Ying waved a hand. "Pass on my order! Fleet, engage Turbocharging and advance at full speed!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The warships answered one after another. At each stern, two thick exhaust nozzles roared to life, and the ships surged forward.

Deep in an underwater trench, there was little besides endless darkness. Even Soul Beasts were few and far between.

Yet there, an enormous figure suddenly opened his eyes. A dim violet glow lit the pitch-black waters.

"That feeling just now... what was it?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stared toward the distant sea, a faint sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Just moments ago, he had sensed an overwhelmingly powerful aura nearby.

Then a violent disturbance had swept down from the surface, as though a monkey had plunged an enormous staff into the sea and stirred and stirred, churning the water like a washing machine.

Even this dark trench, far from the source, had been affected.

The sensation had sent a shudder through the depths of his soul—even though he was a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast, on the very brink of becoming a god.

That attack, whether unleashed by a person or a Soul Beast, had made him fear death. It felt as though a single blow could turn him into a dead fish!

"Impossible. Impossible!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King muttered, "Aside from that undying old wretch the Sea God, no one could make me feel this way!"

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Behind him, a long-bodied Deep Sea Demon Whale swam closer. Violet light flashed, and she transformed into a beautiful woman in a purple dress.

She was his wife, the Demon Empress. Ten thousand years later, she would break through Level 100 and become a true god. For now, though, she was not nearly so powerful, with only a little over six hundred thousand years behind her.

A slightly smaller Deep Sea Demon Whale followed her.

Her aura was not particularly strong—she was only around a hundred thousand years old. She was their daughter, Lan Fozi.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King became a streak of blue light and took human form as well. Standing in the dark trench, he looked upward.

"I sensed an overwhelming power unleashed on the sea's surface. It made my heart tremble."

His face grave, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King gazed up toward the surface, his eyes full of doubt. Since when had someone so powerful appeared in the seas of Douluo?

He was certain it had been a human because he knew every Soul Beast in the surrounding waters. Even Bo Saixi could not have launched an attack like that.

"Husband, what happened?"

The Demon Empress came to his side. "Why is there such a powerful aura at the surface? Could it be that woman?"

"No. Impossible."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King waved a hand. "I know her. She could never unleash an attack that powerful."

"I sensed an entire stretch of sea blasted into a vacuum. A Limit Douluo like her could never do that."

He frowned. "Besides, I sensed the Demon Soul Great White Shark's aura there too. The Great White Shark was once Poseidon's mount. That woman would never attack them."

"Dad, Mom, I'm a little scared."

Lan Fozi swam over. "The aura in the sea is so strong. And up in the sky... it's so bright."

"The sky?"

Only then did the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Empress notice the Sky Screen overhead. Once they had learned what it was, they turned their attention to the Northern Underworld Continent.

"I see. Was it a Soul Master from the Northern Underworld Continent?"

The Demon Empress quickly gathered the useful information and pieced together what had happened.

"Hahahaha!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King laughed aloud. "The heavens are on my side! Sea God Island, so this day has come for you too?"

"The Northern Underworld Continent has vented my anger for me. Well done!"

"Husband, we must be careful."

The Demon Empress clung to his arm, worried. "The Northern Underworld Continent is far too powerful. We mustn't act rashly."

"It's fine."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King smiled and waved a hand. "I have no intention of making enemies of them. If anything, we might even work together."
