" Unity of Heaven and Man!"
Lin Chen held the sword in both hands, and a dazzling crimson-gold light emanated from his body, forming a crimson-gold giant sword that was over two hundred meters long.
Although the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King sensed his unusual movements, it was difficult for him to escape quickly because he was still using his strongest innate Soul Skill.
Die!
Lin Chen let out a low shout and slashed fiercely into the wound on its back.
Clang! Boom boom boom...
A powerful shockwave rippled outwards as the crimson-gold broadsword slashed deeper into the wound of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters...
Sizzle...
The crimson-gold greatsword and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's scales clashed with ear-piercing clashes. As the wound deepened, Lin Chen's crimson-gold greatsword gradually shattered.
Even the true form of Super Douluo's Tool Soul Avatar couldn't break through the scales of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King; only Lin Chen and Bibi Dong could barely break through its double defenses.
A few breaths later...
"Screech..." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King screamed in agony as its massive body was nearly cleaved through from front to back, revealing a hideous and terrifying wound from which blood gushed uncontrollably.
This blow completely crippled it!
Glug glug...
After being severely injured, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was completely powerless to fight and fled frantically forward at an extremely fast speed, appearing two miles away in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen's face paled slightly, and he sneered, "I've expended so much energy, do you think you'd let me escape?!"
" So Close, Yet Worlds Apart, yet worlds apart!"
" One Sword, Heaven Splitting!"
Clang! Boom boom boom...
A certain location in the Central Sea, North Sea Island
On a sizable island, a dozen or so ships were docked at the pier. Hundreds of women, escorted by hundreds of North Sea Island, disembarked. Among them was one woman, escorted by Suoni's confidant, who was extremely tall and voluptuous.
"Big brother, you're back!"
The brothers who came to greet us exclaimed happily, "This voyage has been quite fruitful!"
Suoni said smugly, "I personally set sail, do you think I can catch some small fry? Do you see who this is?"
"Hey, isn't this the captain of the Purple Pearl Pirates? You captured her too?!"
"As expected of the eldest brother, he's still as dashing as ever!"
"The boss is awesome!"
Suoni waved his hand smugly. "Alright, let's have a big feast today! I'm taking a concubine and having a wedding ceremony. Call all the brothers over!"
"Receive!"
Hearing his arrogant words, Zi Zhenzhu gritted her teeth in anger, but her Soul Power was sealed, leaving her somewhat helpless.
at the same time
The four members of the Clear Sky Sect also returned from the deep sea, flying all the way back to the Central Sea region. However, the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San were all pale-faced, obviously due to severe depletion of their Soul Power.
An elder of the Clear Sky Sect said, "Ancestor, let's find a secluded island to rest for half a day. If this continues, I'm afraid my fourth brother and I won't be able to hold out for more than two days."
Tang Chen remained silent for a while, then nodded. "Alright, there's an island just ahead, let's stay here for the time being."
Tang San asked in confusion, "Temporary stay, Grandpa, do you mean we're going to stay here temporarily?"
Tang Chen smiled faintly, "This place is located deep in the sea, very secluded. There's no need to worry about the threat from the Spirit Hall Empire. Besides, where you go into seclusion doesn't really matter, does it?"
Tang San hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Grandpa, you still haven't told me how to pass the Sea God Eighth Trial. Even you couldn't defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, so even if I break through to the Peerless Douluo, it probably won't help."
Tang Chen said meaningfully, " Peerless Douluo can't complete a task doesn't mean a god can't. Xiao San, don't worry, your great-grandfather has already paved the way for you."
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he was instantly overjoyed. "Really?"
"Certainly."
A hint of lingering affection flashed in Tang Chen's eyes. "Nearly two hundred years have passed, and I'm getting a little tired. This is a good time to pass the responsibility to you, and then..."
Tang San didn't notice what he said next; when he heard that there was a chance to become a god, he was overjoyed.
North Sea Island, inside the main hall
The pirate captain, who had just returned, had barely sat down when several figures flew in through the outer door and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
"Huh? Who is it?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San and his companions slowly approached, coldly stating, "From today onwards, we will be staying here for the time being."
Suoni narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who are you?"
Tang San sneered, and nine Soul Ring slowly materialized. "Those you can't afford to offend, just do as we say!"
Suoni shuddered and stammered, "A... Titled Douluo?!"
Tang Chen said expressionlessly, "Prepare a secret room for us, and forbid anyone from approaching."
Suoni nodded quickly. "Seniors, I'll get it done for you right away!"
Before long, Suoni personally led the four members of the Clear Sky Sect to the center of the island and gave his central residence to Tang San and the others.
"Seniors, this is the most luxurious hall on our North Sea Island. What do you think?"
Tang San said expressionlessly, "Very well, you can leave now. Don't let anyone near this place."
"Understood, understood!" Suoni bowed obsequiously, then said, "Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything, and we'll do our best to fulfill your requests!"
"Um."
Several dozen breaths later, outside the main hall
Suoni walked along a mountain path with a conflicted expression. His three Soul Emperor brothers all gathered around him and hurriedly asked:
"Brother, who are those four seniors?"
"They must have come from the mainland, because they don't have that salty smell on them."
Suoni shook his head. "I don't know. Don't worry about their status, just keep treating them well. Who knows, these seniors might be in a good mood and grant us an opportunity."
One of the brothers asked, "That's true, brother. So, are we still having a feast tonight?"
Suoni frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's not do it. We don't know what these seniors are like. What if they don't like excitement? Wouldn't we be offending them?"
"That Zi Zhenzhu?"
A strange light flashed in Suoni's eyes. "My inner palace has hundreds of people, one more won't make a difference. What do you think if we give this Little Zhenzhu to those seniors? Would they..."
One of the guys said, "Really? These guys look quite old. Do you think they'd be into this kind of thing?"
Suoni rolled his eyes at him. "What kind of look is that? There's a young man in there too. If the other three don't like him, what if that young man does?"
"Brother, since you captured Zi Zhenzhu anyway, you can do whatever you want with it."
Suoni stroked his mustache and nodded. "Okay, that's settled then."
Meanwhile, the main hall of the central island
Two figures sat cross-legged in the main hall, while the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect stood guard outside. Only Tang San and Tang Chen were inside.
Tang San asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what do we do next?"
Tang Chen whispered, "Go into seclusion. Your great-grandfather will help you pass the Asura God Trial!"
