In the Sea God Hall
Bo Saixi, dressed in a red and silver form-fitting long dress, floated in mid-air with her tall and voluptuous figure. Her ethereal and otherworldly aura was evident as she gazed down at the young man below with her pale pink eyes.
Tang San knelt in the main hall, pleading pitifully, "High Priest, I am now the only remaining heir of our Clear Sky Sect. If I cannot accept the Sea God Inheritance, I am likely to be killed by the Spirit Hall Empire. I beg the Lord Sea God to grant me a chance to try accepting the inheritance for the sake of my great-grandfather."
A strange light flashed in Bo Saixi's usually calm eyes. "With your strength, you simply cannot pass the Sea God Eighth Trial. Even if I let you go at this stage, you will have no chance to receive the Sea God Inheritance."
Upon hearing that there was a chance to pass the Seventh Trial, Tang San immediately pleaded with tears streaming down his face, "High Priest, regardless of whether I can accept the Sea God Inheritance, I must try my best, otherwise the Clear Sky Sect will be completely extinguished with me."
Bo Saixi sighed softly, "Very well, since I've made an exception and allowed you to participate in the Sea God Nine Trials, then I'll let you try again."
" The Sea God Eighth Trial is to hunt down the nearly million-year-old Demon Whale King of the deep sea. Even I or your great-grandfather could not accomplish it."
"You couldn't even last the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, how could you possibly hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"
Tang San was initially overjoyed, but then fell into despair, kneeling silently in the main hall like a corpse.
Bo Saixi glanced at him indifferently and said expressionlessly, "Go back. You won't be able to complete the Sea God Nine Trials. With him here, you shouldn't die for the time being."
Tang San's eyes were slightly red as he roared, "I'm not reconciled! I traveled thousands of miles to get here for revenge and to protect myself. Rather than slink back and live in Lin Chen's shadow for the rest of my life, I'd rather die at the hands of Soul Beast!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The moment the words left his mouth, his figure vanished from the hall.
Outside the Temple of Sea God
Tang Chen stopped Tang San and hurriedly asked him about the Seventh Trial. Tang San had no choice but to recount the process and the result.
Tang San stared intently. "Grandpa, I want to become stronger! I want to hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
To everyone's surprise, Tang Chen was overjoyed. "She promised to help you pass the Seventh Trial?!"
Tang San asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, the Seventh Trial isn't the key. The key is that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. That's Soul Beast that's nearly a million years old. Even you and the High Priest couldn't get rid of it. How could I possibly have a chance?"
"No, the Eighth Trial isn't the key; the Seventh Trial is!" A sharp glint flashed in Tang Chen's eyes, followed by a meaningful smile, " Xiao San, from this moment on, your luck has arrived!"
Tang San was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused. Only by successfully receiving the Sea God Inheritance could he take revenge on Lin Chen, but that path was currently blocked. How could this be considered an opportunity?
A short while later, the four members of the Clear Sky Sect resigned from Sea God Island, stating that they would continue their divine trials after some time.
Meanwhile, in the deep sea
Lin Chen had already descended thousands of kilometers with his powerful Soul Power and was still descending. At this moment, the surroundings were completely dark, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and no light could penetrate them at all.
"It's very close, it should be just ahead."
The deep sea is not without bottom. According to ancient records in the Douluo Continent, the deepest place in the deep sea is 100,000 meters, which is about 10 kilometers. Ordinary Soul Master cannot reach such a depth. Only Super Douluo can barely withstand the mountain-like sea pressure.
However, it can only withstand the pressure; it cannot waste its Soul Power to use Soul Skill. Otherwise, once the internal and external balance is broken, it will be directly inherited into mud by the terrifying sea pressure.
Only Peerless Douluo can dive into the deep sea and actively seek to hunt Soul Beast. Most of the ancient books of the Douluo Continent are written by such powerful figures.
deep sea
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body was like a mountain, lying on the seabed. There were many wounds on its back, the longest of which was left by Bibi Dong, and the deepest one was left by Lin Chen. The wounds were still bleeding and had not yet scabbed over, because the sword energy Soul Power left in its body by Lin Chen and Bibi Dong had not yet been cleared.
Whew...
Just then, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly opened its large, golden-red eyes, glanced behind it in confusion, and then slowly closed them again, preparing to use its powerful Soul Power to clear away the remaining Soul Power on its body.
cluck cluck...
About two miles above and behind it, a tall and upright figure was suspended in the sea, his eyes fixed intently on the ground below.
Although Lin Chen couldn't see the other party's body, he had already sensed its exact location by releasing a wisp of Soul Power. It was this unusual movement that aroused the suspicion of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has a very strong defense. To hunt it down in one fell swoop, you must attack its wounds. Only then will you have a chance to kill it completely.
However, Lin Chen cannot accurately pinpoint the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's wounds right now. Only by fully releasing his Soul Power can he sense the location of the wounds. Once he does this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King will be able to instantly locate him.
Lin Chen murmured, "This round is all about speed and reaction time!"
If it were in the deep sea, even without Bibi Dong and Zi JI's help, Lin Chen could easily hunt it down. However, the deep sea has too many limitations, both in terms of vision and Soul Power!
"Wait a little longer, until it lowers its guard..."
One hour, two hours, three hours later...
Just as Lin Chen could no longer sense his sword energy, an extremely powerful Soul Power emanated from his body, and the outline of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and its wounds instantly flashed into his mind:
"Now!"
Eighth Soul Skill: Sword Slashes the Galaxy!
A giant crimson-gold sword quickly formed, and Lin Chen clasped his hands together and slashed downwards fiercely.
Just as Lin Chen locked onto the latter's location, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King also reacted, its massive body instinctively fleeing forward frantically, releasing its Soul Power to block him as it fled.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Lin Chen shouted, slicing through all its Soul Power barriers and striking half of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's back with his sword.
Splash... gurgle...
Violent water currents rippled across an area spanning tens of miles in the deep sea, with bursts of bubbles rising upwards.
"Screech..." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King screamed in agony as another wound, over a hundred meters long and several meters deep, appeared on half of its back, spraying blood freely.
"Tch..." Lin Chen frowned. "Damn, it still managed to dodge!"
He intended to strike the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King with his sword, hoping to inflict greater damage on its existing wounds. However, he did not expect the latter to react so quickly and dodge Lin Chen's fatal blow.
Otherwise, this sword strike, if not piercing through the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, would at least cleave through a large part of its body!
cluck cluck...
" Deep Sea Raging Waves!"
A deep, resonant voice came from the darkness ahead, followed by a powerful surge of Soul Power and seawater.
Lin Chen's expression turned slightly serious.
