The deadly poison of the Dugu Yan was relentlessly eroding the life force of the Evil Orca King through its wounds.
As the three continued to expend energy, the Evil Orca King grew slower, weaker, and more confused.
" The Evil Spirit Orca Mirror Annihilation!"
It used its last bit of strength to activate its defensive skill.
The surrounding seawater suddenly froze, turning into countless transparent mirrors, layer upon layer protecting it in the center.
Those mirrors were indestructible, strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from Titled Douluo.
Tang Feng swung his hammer, and the mirror shook violently, but it did not shatter.
"Interesting," he said casually.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure swept in from the side, her Dark Gold Dreadclaw slashing across the mirror surface, leaving only shallow marks.
The Evil Orca King hid within the mirror array, panting heavily, trying to buy time to recover.
But Tang Feng didn't give it a chance.
" Sister Yan."
Dugu Yan understood.
She raised her hand, activating the second skill of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
" Cosmic Mind-Stabilizing Shroud!"
A pale golden light shield descended from the sky, ignoring the mirrored defenses and directly enveloping the Evil Orca King!
The Evil Orca King felt his body suddenly stiffen, as if he were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and he could no longer move!
It was horrified to discover that this light shield was actually a powerful control skill that ignored physical defenses!
Its prized mirror array is utterly useless in the face of this light barrier!
Tang Feng took a deep breath and swung the Clear Sky Hammer high into the air.
Sixth Soul Skill! The Devil Tiger Unleashes Might!
Surrounded by Soul Beast, the passive effect of Devil Tiger Unleashes Might was immediately maxed out, his aura surged threefold, and the dark golden light around his body burned like flames.
This blow will be the heaviest one he's dealt in the past half day!
But at that moment, he suddenly frowned.
Within the Evil Orca King, an extremely violent energy is rapidly gathering.
The energy was chaotic and violent, as if it could explode at any moment!
It's going to self-destruct!
" Sister Yan!" Tang Feng called out urgently.
Dugu Yan had already noticed.
The fourth skill of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud! Cosmic Demon-Breaking!
A dazzling golden beam of light shot out from her palm, condensing all her power, spirit, and killing intent, like a sword of divine punishment, piercing through the void!
The beam of light ignored the mirror and the defense, and directly blasted into the Cosmic Mind-Stabilizing Shroud, hitting the head of the Evil Orca King!
boom!!
The Evil Orca King's massive body suddenly stiffened, and the light in its blood-red eyes instantly went out.
The violent energy that was about to erupt within its body was completely dissipated by this attack.
Its massive body slowly tilted to the side, creating towering waves.
A blood-red Soul Ring slowly rose from its corpse, hovering above the sea, exuding an aura of majesty.
Dugu Yan retracted the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, her face pale.
That Cosmic Demon-Breaking almost drained all of her Soul Power.
After quickly spitting out two Recovery Sausage, Dugu Yan's face regained some color.
The carcass of the Evil Orca King floated in the sea.
At the same time, Tang Feng collected the Soul Bone of the Evil Orca King next to its corpse.
The Left Leg Bone of the 100,000-year-old Evil Orca King.
Tang Feng landed back on the shark's back, walked towards Dugu Yan, and handed the Soul Bone to her.
" Sister Yan, your Soul Bone."
Dugu Yan was slightly taken aback before accepting the still-warm Soul Bone.
Looking at the Soul Bone in her palm, then at the red Soul Ring floating in the distance, she remained silent for a moment before storing the Soul Bone in her storage ring. She said, "Keep it for now. It's not time to absorb it yet."
Tang Feng nodded, then turned his gaze to other battlefields.
In the distance, the battle on the sea continued, but it was nearing its end.
With the death of the Evil Orca King, the morale of the remaining orca pod plummeted, and they were no longer able to mount an effective counterattack.
Like a scattered pile of sand, they were repeatedly defeated and suffered heavy casualties under the siege of the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm.
However, a few ancient Evil Spirit Orca, some of which are quite old, are still putting up a stubborn resistance. They huddle together, forming a small defensive circle back to back, and frantically tear at any Demon Soul Great White Shark that dare to approach.
Xiao Bai is fighting among them. Her silvery-white figure weaves through the black orca pod, each charge taking the life of an orca.
On the other side, Ye Lingling was with Tang Jian and Oscar, while Bai Chenxiang was with Tai Long and Niu Zhen. The group was cooperating with the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm to besiege the Evil Spirit Orca swarm.
Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang were not strong offensively to begin with. Ye Lingling was Healing System, and although Bai Chenxiang's " Swift Pierce " was powerful, it was more suitable for a hit-and-run tactic and could not withstand a head-on confrontation with this tough-skinned, ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast.
But at this moment, both of them had taken Oscar's Duplicating Mirror Image Sausage.
Those are Sausage made with Tai Long's blood as a base. Consuming them allows one to replicate Tai Long's Great Strength Gorilla Martial Soul and unleash 70% of its power.
The two fought with extraordinary bravery, truly proving that women are just as capable as men.
The group quickly completed the required number of kills for the assessment.
The entire orca pod completely collapsed, with the remaining orcas scattering in all directions. The Demon Soul Great White Shark relentlessly pursued them, turning the sea area crimson.
Only a few high-age Evil Spirit Orca remained on the battlefield, stubbornly putting up a last stand.
Although they were very old, around 70,000 years old, they were all wounded and weak, trapped in a small area of the sea by Tang Feng and his group of ten Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Tang Feng's voice came from behind. "That's about enough. Those who need Seventh Soul Ring, each choose one of suitable age. We'll cover for you."
Oscar was the first to nod.
His gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the most magnificent of the ten-thousand-year-old killer whales.
The orca was being attacked by three Demon Soul Great White Shark. It already had multiple wounds on its body, but it was still fighting back fiercely.
Oscar pointed to the orca and said, "Around 75,000 years old, that's it."
Tang Feng nodded slightly, flapped his Flame Dragon Wings, and pounced straight at the orca!
A moment later, the Evil Spirit Orca, half-dead from his blows, was dragged to Oscar's feet.
Oscar took a deep breath and went forward to end its life.
A deep black Soul Ring slowly rose and hovered in front of him.
Ning Rongrong chose a 70,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca that was on the verge of death.
Tai Long, Niu Zhen, and Bai Chenxiang each chose a spirit ring that was nearly 70,000 years old as their Seventh Soul Ring.
While a timeframe of 70,000 years presents some challenges given their current physical strength and mental capacity, the risks are not too great.
Tang Feng and Tang Jian took action and subdued the orcas one by one, forcing them to deliver the final blow themselves.
When the last ancient, Evil Spirit Orca was killed, the entire sea finally quieted down.
Countless carcasses floated on the sea surface, some belonging to Evil Spirit Orca, others to Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Blood stained a large area of the sea, gleaming a glaring scarlet under the sunlight.
Xiao Bai stood atop the largest orca carcass, gazing at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, remaining silent for a long time.
Tang Feng and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance. Ye Lingling then activated her strongest healing skill, covering everyone and the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm.
Thanks to Ye Lingling's powerful healing abilities, their injuries were quickly and almost completely healed, and the dying Demon Soul Great White Shark was also out of danger.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, turned around and looked at Ye Lingling.
In those silvery-white eyes, hatred had faded, replaced by gratitude and a hint of respect.
"Thank you," she said softly.
This was the first time she had spoken to them in this tone.
Tang Feng nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Just then, the marks on everyone's foreheads simultaneously began to heat up slightly.
Beams of light drifted out, transformed into a light curtain, shattered, and disappeared into the space between the eyebrows.
That familiar and authoritative voice resounded in everyone's mind.
Dugu Yan: " The Fourth Trial Sea God Nine Trials, the Battle of the Sharks and Whales, has been passed. Your Sea God Affinity has increased by 15%."
The cumulative affinity has reached 40%.
Tang Jian, Ye Lingling, and Oscar heard at the same time:
" Black Level Six Trials Fourth Trial: The Battle of the Sharks and Whales, through which Soul Power increased by one level."
Ning Rongrong: " The Fourth Trial the Top-Tier Seven Trials, the Battle of the Sharks and Whales, passed. My Soul Power increased by one level, and the age of my Soul Ring increased by five hundred years."
Zhu Zhuqing: " The Fourth Trial the Top-Tier Eight Trials, the Battle of the Sharks and Whales, passed. Soul Power increased by one level, and the age of the Soul Ring increased by one thousand years."
Tai Long and Niu Zhen: " The Fourth Trial the Black Level Four Trials, the Battle of the Sharks and Whales, has been passed. Your Soul Power has increased by one level. Completing all trials will reward you with a God-Given Soul Ring."
Bai Chenxiang: " The Fourth Trial of the Black Level Five Trials, the Battle of the Sharks and Whales, passed. My Soul Power increased by one level."
In the end, Tang Feng's assessment was as expected, and he received no reward.
Everyone tacitly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
