" Brother Qi, you must be careful!" Xiao Wu said worriedly as she watched Qi Ling disappear.
Although they all had absolute confidence in Qi Ling, it was in the deep sea, a completely unknown environment, and arguably the territory of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. There was no place more suitable for it to perform.
"Senior Bo Saixi, you should stay with Mr. Qi Ling. I'll be fine here," Luna said to Bo Saixi.
Strictly speaking, apart from Qi Ling, Luna is the strongest person on Sea God Island at this time, even stronger than Bo Saixi. However, this is the sea after all, and Bo Saixi can provide Qi Ling with far more help than she can herself.
Bo Saixi slowly shook her head and said, "No, I can't go down. This was originally Tang San's trial. If I interfere, it would be a violation of the rules."
"As for Qi Ling, let's trust him. Do you really think Qi Ling is inferior to that beast?"
Hearing Bo Saixi's words, everyone calmed down. Indeed, Qi Ling would not lose to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. What they should do was not act rashly, but wait calmly, otherwise it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
In the ocean, Qi Ling, transformed into Divine Dragon, continued to descend. He didn't know how deep the place Tang San had chosen to cultivate was, but given Tang San's personality, it was definitely a place that pushed him to his limits.
Just as Qi Ling had predicted, Tang San was in serious trouble, which even threatened his life. He was pushing his physical strength to the limit under the pressure of the seawater in order to carry out extreme training.
Under these circumstances, Tang San had no choice but to suspend his cultivation, return to Sea God Island to rest for a while, and then make further plans.
But just as he was about to surface, his expression suddenly changed, because he also sensed that the immense power fluctuations of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King were rapidly approaching him.
In order to avoid being detected by Tang San, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was actually trying its best to conceal its aura. However, its body was too huge, which inevitably caused energy fluctuations when it moved.
When this energy fluctuation reached a point where it could no longer be concealed, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King knew it could no longer hide, so it stopped hiding and began to charge towards Tang San with all its might.
In such a deep sea, it might be a torturous experience that pushes Tang San to his limits, but for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, it's just his normal living environment. The conditions between the two are simply incomparable.
Therefore, when Tang San sensed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's movements, he immediately realized that if he tried to escape to the surface, he would not be able to escape back and would be intercepted by it in the ocean, losing all means of resistance.
The only way to survive now is to wait for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King to tire itself out and try to withstand its attacks. However, Tang San doesn't know how long he can hold out, or if he's just courting death.
"Never mind, I won't just sit here and wait to die!" Tang San took out the Sea God Trident and faced the direction from which the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was coming. "If you want my life, you'll have to pay a price."
Not long after, the enormous body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King slowly approached Tang San. As the overwhelming shadow surged toward him from the seabed, Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of desperate fear.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is no ordinary Soul Beast. Just as there is still a huge gap in strength between a level 99 Limit Douluo and Demigod, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is almost a god, and its strength is even above that of Demigod.
Such an existence is invincible even for Tang San in his current state, let alone now that he is exhausted. Even if the Sea God were to appear, he would be powerless, because any powerful move always requires Soul Power to support it.
Seeing Tang San 'Tang San appearance, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King seemed to chuckle faintly. Its single eye, now devoid of anything else, emitted a chilling light, as if it were eyeing some kind of delicious food.
"Hehehe, Tang San! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity!" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King slowly uttered a voice, deep and muffled, as if it came from the depths of the earth.
Tang San said calmly, "You've been waiting for this opportunity for half a year? Just to kill me and avenge that day?"
"Hehehe, you're too naive. I've been waiting for this opportunity for ten thousand years! Ten thousand years, hahahaha!" said the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, but the content of its words surprised Tang San.
"You might wonder, how could I have known I would meet you today after ten thousand years? Actually, I don't care who it is, as long as he is the successor of the Sea God and has passed the first eight trials of the Sea God, that's enough!" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said slowly.
"What do you mean by this? Do you hate the Sea God so much that you won't even spare his successor?" Tang San asked.
"That's only a small part of the reason. I do hate that old man to the core, but the main reason isn't that," the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said. "Just as your Ninth Trial was to destroy me, you are also a tremendous opportunity for me!"
"For millions of years, I was on the verge of becoming a god, but I failed because of the Sea God's obstruction! However, only I can devour the Sea God's successor and seize your power. Then I will have another chance to become a god, and my strength will greatly increase!"
"You want to kill me and take my Soul Ring and Soul Bone, don't you? But how could I not want to devour you and make you my own flesh and blood! Tang San, you are destined to die here today!"
Tang San felt a chill in his heart. He hadn't expected there to be such a reason. Was he actually the key to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's ascension to godhood? Had he known this beforehand, he would never have come to this deep sea.
Tang San originally wanted to continue delaying to buy some time to recover his strength, but the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would not give Tang San this opportunity. With a tremor, a strong power wave came from the water and sent it towards Tang San.
Transmitting power and vibrations in water is countless times more difficult than in air, but the corresponding power is also countless times greater. Tang San held the Sea God Halberd to his chest, hoping to use the power of the Sea God Halberd to resist the opponent's attack, but it was completely ineffective. Under the strong impact, he spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated backward.
Seeing Tang San severely injured by his attack, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was extremely smug. Deep blue power surged from his body, forming several Sea Dragon dragon-like attacks that rushed towards Tang San.
Tang San barely managed to lift the Sea God Trident and swung it at the attacking Sea Dragon, scattering them one by one. But when he reached the last one, he simply didn't have any strength left, and it slammed heavily into his chest.
Seemingly feeling that eliminating Tang San all at once would be too uninteresting, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King perhaps wanted to vent all the hatred he had harbored for the Sea God over the years on Tang San. Therefore, he did not rush to finish Tang San Tang San in one blow, but instead used various attacks to torment him.
