Seeing his eager expression, Sea Horse Douluo's expression changed, and he quickly advised, "Young Sect Master Tang, I suggest you don't try anything with it. In the entire ocean, perhaps only the Great Enshrined can rival it. Even if the Great Enshrined were to take action, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat it, let alone kill it to obtain its Soul Ring and Soul Bone."
His tone was urgent, clearly showing genuine concern for Tang Feng: " The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has reigned in the Demonic Whale Sea Area for hundreds of thousands of years, Titled Douluo who have died at its hands is countless. Although you are a genius, now..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
Tang Feng simply took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and calmly said, " Sea Horse the reminder, Your Majesty Seahorse."
He paused, then said with a firm gaze, "But I'm determined to win."
Sea Horse Douluo looked at him, unsure how to continue his persuasion. After a moment of silence, he finally sighed.
Tang Feng then asked, "Senior, besides the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Shadow Demon Squid, are there any other options?"
After a moment's thought, Sea Horse Douluo slowly said, "The three great overlords of the ocean Evil Orca King, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and... the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. You've already met Xiao Bai, but she was once the Lord Sea God's mount and cannot be moved."
Tang Feng thought to himself: Can't move? Heh heh heh, just stay away from me, otherwise, when I can't help myself, I won't care about this or that.
Sea Horse Douluo continued, "Besides beings of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's level, there are indeed other options for power-type 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast."
He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts. "About three thousand miles northeast of the Demonic Whale Sea Area lies an area known as the ' Magma Sea.' There dwells a ' Lava Black Tortoise ' with over one hundred thousand years of cultivation. It is as large as a mountain, its carapace is the hardest in the ocean, and its strength is terrifying."
" Lava Black Tortoise?" Tang Jian's eyes lit up.
Sea Horse Douluo nodded. "Yes. It's an ancient, exotic species, possessing a diluted Black Tortoise Bloodline, renowned for its strength and defense. Its attack method is simple: biting and ramming. But its ramming power is astonishing, enough to obliterate the soul of any Titled Douluo. Its greatest reliance for surviving for 100,000 years is its defensive power; probably no one in the world can break its shell. Therefore, although it's lazy and spends most of its time sleeping, no one dares to mess with it, because any attack is useless against it. It won't attack proactively, but if provoked..."
He shook his head and didn't continue.
Tang Jian was deeply moved, but he suppressed his excitement and looked at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Over 100,000 years old, a power-type, and with the Black Tortoise Bloodline... Brother Jian, this one is perfect for you. If our Clear Sky Hammer can fuse with the Lava Black Tortoise's Soul Ring, its strength and defense will experience a qualitative leap."
Tang Jian grinned. "Alright, then that's my target!"
Tang Feng then looked at Sea Horse Douluo: "Senior, Shadow Demon Squid? Approximately how many years does it take to grow?"
Sea Horse Douluo recalled, "As far as I know, the Shadow Demon Squid is around 110,000 years old and often appears in the deep sea trench a thousand miles south of Sea God Island. It is even harder to find than the Lava Black Tortoise because it spends most of its time lurking in the deep sea, only surfacing to hunt. It is extremely fast and can disappear into the darkness in an instant; even Titled Douluo's mental power cannot lock onto it."
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "If this girl can fuse with the Shadow Demon Squid's Soul Ring, her speed and stealth abilities will reach an unimaginable level."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
Tang Feng smiled slightly and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much for providing such valuable information, senior."
Sea Horse Douluo nodded slightly, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, and said, "It's getting late, everyone should get some rest. If there's anything you need to know, feel free to come find me."
Everyone stood up and returned the greeting. "Thank you, senior."
Sea Horse Douluo turned and left, his figure disappearing into the night.
The side hall fell silent again.
Tang Feng's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said in a deep voice:
"Next, our goal is clear: first, get ourselves in good condition, wipe out the Evil Spirit Orca swarm, obtain the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and complete the Fourth Trial. At the same time, search for suitable Seventh Soul Ring for Little Ao, Rongrong, Tai Long, Niu Zhen, and Chenxiang within the orca swarm."
He paused, then continued, "Then we'll begin the Fifth Trial immediately. After the Fifth Trial, we'll see if there's any way to get Tai Long, Niu Zhen, and Chenxiang to leave Sea God Island. Chenxiang will then immediately return to the sect and invite my grandfather, maternal grandfather, and the Old Monster to come and help the three of us hunt for Soul Ring."
"It's settled then."
Everyone nodded emphatically.
The next day, at the first light of dawn.
On the rocky shore of the northeast side of Sea God Island, ten figures stood silently. The morning breeze fluttered their clothes, the waves crashed against the rocks, and a somber atmosphere filled the air.
A silvery-white light rose from beneath the sea and transformed into a human figure, landing before the crowd.
Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai.
She was dressed in a silver-white outfit, her long, Mo Lan hair tied up high, making her look capable and sharp. When she looked at Tang Feng, there was still a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Are you ready?" Her voice remained cold.
Tang Feng nodded slightly. "Let's go."
Without another word, Xiao Bai turned and leaped into the sea.
With a flash of silver light, her enormous shark body burst forth from the waves, her back towering like a sail, leaving a silvery-white trail on the sea surface. She stopped ten feet away and turned to look at the crowd.
Everyone leaped up at the same time. Tang Feng embraced Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Jian embraced Ye Lingling, Oscar embraced Ning Rongrong, and the others jumped up and landed on the back of the Seven-Headed Demon Soul Great White Shark under Xiao Bai's guidance.
These Demon Soul Great White Shark were all powerful members of their kind, each possessing over ten thousand years of cultivation. They steadily carried the group, cutting through the waves.
Xiao Bai White Shark led the way, followed closely by two hundred Demon Soul Great White Shark, like a silver-white arrow heading straight for the deep sea.
Five hundred li is not a short distance, but with the incredibly fast travel speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, it would only take two hours.
Two hours later, the color of the seawater changed.
The once clear, azure sea gradually turned a dark, inky color. Scattered fish bones floated on the surface, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air. That was the territory of the Evil Spirit Orca pod.
Xiao Bai slowed down, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm gradually closed in, forming a crescent-shaped array.
She turned to look at the group, her voice grave. "Their core area is just ahead. The Evil Orca King is there."
The words had barely left his mouth when the distant sea suddenly exploded!
A massive black shadow burst forth from the waves, creating towering billows!
It was a terrifying giant whale, over twenty zhang in size, its entire body as black as ink, its back covered with hideous bone spurs, each one like an inverted sword. Its eyes were blood red, and it was staring intently at the group.
The Evil Orca King.
Its mere presence seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
An invisible pressure emanated from it, the unique aura of a sea overlord, enough to make any Soul Beast under ten thousand years old tremble.
Behind it, the seawater surged as if boiling.
One after another, the Evil Spirit Orca surfaced, a dark mass that turned the entire sea black.
More than three hundred of them! They were packed together densely, their blood-red eyes fixed on the intruders.
Xiao Bai's body tensed slightly, and a hint of instinctive fear flashed in his eyes.
As one of the three great rulers of the ocean, she had fought this Evil Orca King for tens of thousands of years, never truly achieving a victor. Her younger brother died at the hands of this Evil Orca King in that battle thirty thousand years ago.
Tang Feng stood on the back of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, gazing at the enormous creature in the distance, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
His abilities are unrestricted in this test. Not to mention the 100,000-year-old Evil Orca King, he dares to face the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King head-on.
Tang Feng didn't arrange any fancy tactics.
In a word, it's about being strong.
The Evil Orca King's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Xiao Bai.
It opened its enormous mouth and let out a Heaven Shaking roar, the deep sound echoing across the sea:
" Demon Soul Great White Shark? You've trespassed into my territory?"
