Arrival in the Far North, Attempting to Subdue the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King
Snowflakes fluttered and swirled, billowing Qian Xunling's loose white robe and causing her long, black hair to dance in the wind and snow.
The pristine white expanse and silent world seemed to transport Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong to another realm. Startled, Bibi Dong, who was clutching Qian Xunling's pants, shrank back, inhaling the icy air with even greater chill. She asked timidly, "Uncle-Master, where are we now?"
If this were on Blue Star, Qian Xunling wouldn't really know where she was, but since she was on the Douluo Continent, it must be the Far North.
However, whether it was the core area or the outer area, she couldn't sense a single Soul Beast. But no matter where it was, Qian Xunling didn't care too much.
Having advanced to Level 95, Titled Douluo. Although he has not yet reached the End of Life Realm, he has already passed the Ant Realm. As long as his opponents are not at the level of Qian Daoliu Bo Saixi, no one can stop him.
Qian Xunling chuckled, opened her arms, closed her eyes, letting her sleeves flutter, and replied, "Heaven."
"Heaven?" Little Spider's eyes widened as he looked at his martial uncle, who was completely absorbed in the snowstorm. Realizing that his uncle was talking nonsense, he pouted and said, "Little Spider has seen descriptions of heavy snow in storybooks. This is definitely not heaven. I bet it's the Far North."
"Hmm?" Qian Xunling looked at Bibi Dong in surprise, meeting Bibi Dong's lowered eyes. Bibi Dong asked nervously, "Uncle-Master, isn't that right?"
"Little Spider, you really do seem to have become smarter," Qian Xunling exclaimed. But Bibi Dong clenched her fists, her face flushed, and shouted, "Uncle-Master, Little Spider wasn't stupid to begin with! Little Spider isn't stupid!"
Qian Xunling waved her hand. "Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore."
Seeing her uncle's perfunctory attitude, Little Spider was very annoyed. She snorted twice and carefully punched Qian Xunling's thigh to vent her dissatisfaction.
Qian Xunling ignored her little actions and slowly released her Soul Ring, six black and three red, which rose slowly.
"Uncle-Master, why did you suddenly release your Soul Ring? Is there any danger?" Bibi Dong stopped what she was doing and looked at Qian Xunling anxiously. She then moved closer to Qian Xunling, but Qian Xunling ignored her and slowly said, "Eighth Soul Skill, Death Kaleidoscope."
This time, Qian Xunling's Eighth Soul Ring did not detach from her feet, but the massive body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared directly in front of Qian Xunling and Bibi Dong!
The snow in front of them was pressed into a huge crater.
"Ah! What a huge Soul Beast!" Bibi Dong was so frightened she almost cried, hiding behind Qian Xunling. Qian Xunling smiled and mocked, "Little brat, you really are just a little brat. You're so scared you're about to cry."
"Waaah, Uncle-Master, please don't talk about Little Spider anymore, Little Spider is really scared." Bibi Dong was both angry and annoyed, tightly hugging Qian Xunling's pants, burying her face in them, not daring to look at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King at all. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, returning to reality and still in shock, noticed Qian Xunling and immediately roared in fury, "You wretched human brat!"
Although there was no seawater, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could still easily point its huge mouth at Qian Xunling and open its massive fangs to swallow her whole.
However, Qian Xunling slowly raised her head, looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and chuckled, "Don't move."
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's brain and body were instantly restricted by some terrifying force, rendering him unable to move or even use his Soul Power!
Its single eye was incredibly ferocious, and at this moment it was furious to the extreme, staring at Qian Xunling as if its gaze could kill.
However, Qian Xunling completely ignored its gaze, chuckled, and slowly released the restriction on its mouth. Sensing the release, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King immediately roared, "Damn human brat! What have you done to me!? I'll kill you!"
It clearly remembered being completely struck by Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu's Ninth Soul Skill, dying without any chance of resurrection. But now it had regained consciousness, though its entire body was under control, as if it had become a puppet.
Qian Xunling replied, "I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush. Let me explain slowly."
You are actually dead. Even your physical body was completely devoured by Xiao Bai and the others. Your current state is just a state between soul and body, let's call it a soul body for now. The reason I was able to make you like this is because of my Eighth Soul Skill, Death Kaleidoscope.
Simply put, my Soul Skill can resurrect the dead, and even preserve roughly the same strength the resurrected being possessed in life. However, while the beings I resurrect have self-awareness, they are completely under my control. Unless I grant their permission, they have no personal freedom whatsoever.
"What?" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at Qian Xunling in disbelief, and even Bibi Dong behind him was shocked. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couldn't believe it. "Impossible! How could a mortal possess the divine skill to resurrect others? I dare say that even a god could not resurrect anyone."
Qian Xunling chuckled, "However, there's a prerequisite for my Soul Skill to revive people: the revived person must still retain a trace of their soul, otherwise, revival is impossible. And who told you this is revival? My Soul Skill actually turns you into puppets, but in a slightly different way."
"You mere mortal, you think you can make me your puppet? Dream on! I'll devour you!" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared in anger, opening its massive jaws to bite Qian Xunling.
However, as Jiujiu passed, its massive jaws remained unable to close, as Qian Xunling once again restricted its movements, creating a rather comical scene.
Qian Xunling looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and chuckled, "Do you understand now? Still want to try?"
After saying that, Qian Xunling released the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's mouth again. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's mouth closed heavily, and it swallowed a large mouthful of cold air. Then the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King tried again, but it was frozen in place again, just like before. After Jiujiu, even the terrified Bibi Dong felt that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was no longer a threat and breathed a small sigh of relief.
Seeing that the human girl was no longer afraid of him, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's anger intensified, and he showed no sign of stopping his desire to devour Qian Xunling.
In reality, it couldn't harm itself at all, but Qian Xunling felt it was necessary to make the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King realize its current predicament.
After a long while, Bibi Dong looked at her martial uncle with some weariness and asked, "Martial Uncle, why have you been toying with this giant whale for so long?"
The Great Whale? The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nearly coughed up blood upon hearing this title.
Qian Xunling clapped her hands and began to look seriously at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, saying, "Enough with the nonsense, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. You should know your situation now. You are already dead. I am giving you a second chance to live. You should be able to guess that gods have the ability to resurrect people."
"I need you to be my henchman from now on. In return, if I ever become a god, I will resurrect you. How about this deal?"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's pupils contracted slightly. It had never considered this possibility, but possessing the arrogance of Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it immediately retorted the moment Qian Xunling released its mouth, "Dream on!"
Qian Xunling chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to agree to me right away. Of course, I didn't consider you my only option. I can resurrect other people; there are plenty of people willing to become my henchmen. But I believe you will definitely agree because you have no other choice."
After speaking, Qian Xunling recalled the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and then looked in one direction amidst the wind and snow.
Bibi Dong asked, puzzled, "Uncle-Master, what's wrong?"
Qian Xunling rolled her eyes in the direction the people had come from and said, "I don't know, but they're probably some unlucky guys being chased by Soul Beast."
