Chapter 229 Taking Action
On Poseidon Island, a great white shark that was patrolling the nearby waters suddenly stopped, its eyes instantly filled with terror.
The once calm sea surface began to ripple, and within the water emanated an aura that terrified countless sea spirit beasts.
This is the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
Who dares to lay a hand on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
Could it be the same being who fought against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King back then?
Xiao Bai turned his head and looked at the group of people who were cultivating. Sure enough, he wasn't the only one who had sensed the movement in the deep sea.
"Someone is fighting with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King." Poseidon, dressed in red, remained calm, as if she had known all along.
"Fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?" Tang San, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was over 900,000 years old, just one step away from a million years.
Tang San's killing intent emerged, and it seemed that his Killing God Domain had been affected. There are not many people who possess the Killing God Domain.
I remembered that Ding Quan had said not long ago that they would go to the sea. Could it be that their goal was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
"It was them? But why did they attack the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?" Dai Mubai had obviously guessed who had fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. After all, before, the group had seen traces of Ding Quan's fight with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King when he escaped in the sea. The frozen clouds thousands of meters high made the Shrek group feel the despair of the gap.
"Yes, they are very strong, but they seem to be a bit..." Oscar was about to say something when suddenly, the distant sky darkened, with faint lights flickering and even a faint golden light visible.
"There are powerful individuals whose strength is no less than mine, and there's more than one!"
Poseidon's eyes were fixed on the distant horizon. As the high priestess of the sea god, her senses were extremely powerful in the ocean.
"Senior, you're not wrong, are you!" Ma Hongjun was startled upon hearing this. A powerhouse who was no less powerful than the High Priest of Seagod Island was definitely a peerless existence at level ninety-nine. Ma Hongjun glanced at Tang San, who was opposite him. There was another powerhouse who was no less powerful than Poseidon in the past.
Tang Chen has reached the pinnacle of Soul Masters, level 99!
"There's no mistake. They were able to stop me when they weren't Title Douluos. After they advanced to Title Douluos, their strength is beyond the realm of ordinary understanding. Even I couldn't have done that back then." Tang Chen also sensed whose soul power it was. Although he couldn't use his full strength at the moment, his perception as a peerless Douluo was still there.
Those people were able to suppress me when I was controlled by the Nine-Headed Blood Red Bat when I was a quasi-Title Douluo. Once they become Title Douluos, no one can predict how strong they will become.
Furthermore, Xiao San later fought against Xue Lian, a Soul Master with a Soul Power of Level 95. Facing a Title Douluo and Tang San, who had destroyed several top-tier Soul Rings of over 50,000 years, he easily blocked the attack.
"Senior, could it be that when Third Brother fought Bing Ling, the opponent didn't use their full strength at all?"
"Fatty, isn't it obvious?" Oscar looked at Tang San and fell silent. The other party did not use the Martial Soul True Body at that time. Even if Tang San used the Exploding Ring, Bing Ling was confident that he could deal with it.
"To withstand the power of Xiao San's explosion that destroyed the four rings, and without using many soul skills, her strength at that time must have been at least level 98." Tang Chen had been guiding Tang San's training with the Clear Sky Hammer since Tang San returned to Seagod Island, so he was very clear about Tang San's strength at that time.
Tang San, having destroyed four spirit rings, possessed a complete set of spirit bones over 50,000 years old, including two 100,000-year-old ones and one external spirit bone of at least 100,000 years old. The power he could unleash was so great that even a level 97 being would find it difficult to withstand.
If the opponent accepted the attack without using her Martial Soul True Body, then her strength at that time must have far exceeded level 97.
Therefore, Bing Ling's strength at level 95 was definitely above level 98, and not just any level 98.
"Now, her strength has reached level ninety-nine!" Poseidon looked at the strange phenomenon coming from afar again. She could clearly sense that there were two unparalleled ice-attribute soul powers in it.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King possesses extremely powerful water attributes, and ice attributes can be said to be its nemesis to some extent.
"In that case, it's understandable that the mistress was no match for her."
"Great-grandfather, didn't you say that after reaching level 95, there is a huge gap between each level? But she was only a level 95 Super Douluo back then. Could she really have done that?"
"If it were an ordinary level 95, it wouldn't be possible, but she has that thing in her hands!" Tang Chen's killing intent was now faintly visible.
"A divine weapon!" Tang San was taken aback upon hearing this. Indeed, although the other party did not use her Martial Soul True Body to receive his Great Sumeru Hammer with its exploding rings, she used another, even more incredible weapon.
That was a divine weapon.
Asura Demon Sword!
It was his great-grandfather who obtained the inheritance of the Asura God in the City of Slaughter and, after completing the seventh trial, used his own soul power and martial soul to condense it. Furthermore, under the influence of the Asura God's power in the City of Slaughter, this demonic sword became a divine artifact.
"Shortly after I left the City of Slaughter, I realized that the Asura God Trial had disappeared from me. You saw her fight Xiao San with the Asura Demon Sword. So, the Asura God Trial that disappeared should be..." Tang Chen didn't continue. Since he hadn't passed the Nine Trials of Asura, the inheritance of the Asura God would naturally fall into the hands of someone else who possessed the Killing God Domain.
Clearly, that Bing Ling possessed such talent and ability. Although it was somewhat surprising to Tang Chen that someone who didn't have the Sword Martial Soul obtained it, it seemed that the Asura God didn't value the Martial Soul of the inheritor much.
The Nine-Headed Crimson Bat King stopped himself at the eighth trial, which may also be part of the test content of the eighth trial. In addition to the Asura God, there is another evil god, Rakshasa, in the City of Slaughter.
Those people in the Slaughter City actually knew long ago that the blood-red killing aura in the Slaughter City contained both killing intent and evil energy. These were two seemingly identical yet mutually opposing energies.
Sensing the pure killing intent within his body, he realized that the purpose of the Eighth Trial was probably to neutralize the evil within his killing intent. Now, his killing intent had suppressed the evil, but it was too late. The Nine-Headed Blood-Red Bat King had completely eroded his body, making it impossible for him to withstand the terrifying power of the Asura God.
Moreover, the ninth spirit ring of that ice crystal has five golden patterns on it, and that spirit ring was definitely obtained in the City of Slaughter. That spirit ring probably came from the Nine-Headed Crimson Bat King.
The Nine-Headed Crimson Bat King resides in the City of Slaughter year-round. While it is inherently evil, its murderous aura is equally formidable.
If Ling Ruo obtains its soul ring, her killing intent and strength will be the strongest among those people, so it's reasonable that she can use the Asura Demon Sword.
"Is that so?" Tang San had already guessed this. Ding Quan knew a lot about divine artifacts. He even knew that the Sea God's divine artifact was the Sea God Trident, something that Tang San, who had inherited the Sea God's position, did not know.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Ling, who possesses a divine artifact, was able to defeat himself so easily.
That's a divine artifact; how could a Soul Master possibly resist the power of a god?
"Senior just said that there is more than one strong person who is no less than her. Besides Ling, there is Ding Quan and that Wei'er?" Dai Mubai glanced at Oscar. The two of them had traded one of their divinely bestowed soul rings to Ding Quan.
Ling broke through to become a Title Douluo, and Ding Quan and Wei'er should have been at the near-Tier Douluo level at that time.
If they absorb a divinely bestowed soul ring and obtain their ninth soul ring, then it would be perfectly normal for their strength to be comparable to Ling's.
However, if both of them were to advance to the Title Douluo level, then it would seem pointless for them to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at this moment.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was powerful, its spirit rings and spirit bones should already be fully equipped. Tang Hao had told the Shrek Seven Devils that Ding Quan's spirit bones seemed to be fully equipped and extremely old, perhaps all over 100,000 years old. It seemed that these spirit bones had even formed armor. As a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Tang San knew what that meant.
There is basically only a one in a thousand chance of forming a Soul Bone Fusion Skill if you have a complete set of Soul Bones!
Tang San knew that it wasn't accurate to say that all the soul bones were over 100,000 years old. After all, Tang Chen in front of him also had a set of soul bones. After forming a soul bone fusion skill, the soul bone auras on their bodies intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish their age.
"It shouldn't be. There are indeed two other people, one of whom is still ice-attribute, and the other doesn't have lightning-attribute either."
Poseidon shook her head at Tang Chen's questioning gaze. She learned from Tang Chen that the people who brought her back to her senses were, besides an ice-attribute soul master, two others, one wielding a sword and the other lightning.
However, the powerful soul force emanating from the Demon Whale Domain does not possess any strong lightning attribute power.
"Could it be Shui Bing'er?"
"If you ask me, why don't we go and take a look? Besides, the other side has something that Third Brother needs."
Ma Hongjun spoke up, his eyes filled with excitement. Besides Ling, there were two other powerful beings whose strength was no less than that of the Grand Elder Poseidon. Didn't that mean there were three peerless beings there dealing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
Their clash was absolutely stunning!
In the Demon Whale Sea, the seawater within a range of over a hundred miles was frozen, forming an incredibly large ice island on the surface.
Although the seawater was frozen, the waves, hundreds of meters high, still crashed against this huge island, causing it to sway and drift in the ocean.
On this enormous island, several powerful auras are currently colliding violently, turning the sky over a radius of hundreds of miles into an extremely dark place.
Dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck from time to time, illuminating the Icelandic landscape.
On this vast island, a colossal nine-colored pagoda now radiates nine-colored light.
Nine terrifying spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—surrounded it, making it the most eye-catching feature in the area.
At the center of the Nine-Colored Pagoda, a woman dressed in a blue glass dress stared solemnly at the area in the distance where soul power was raging. The aura emanating from there made even Ning Rongrong, whose soul power had reached level ninety-three, feel suffocated.
Beside her stood another woman, with eight equally terrifying spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and two red—swirling around her.
Zhu Zhuqing had one hand on Ning Rongrong's body, her soul power hidden and her mind constantly on edge.
Five beams of nine-colored light flew out from the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and landed on five figures in the distance.
With the Longyuan Sword held horizontally in front of his chest, Ding Quan felt a tremendous force surge through him, knocking him back once more. His first spirit ring had already lit up at the very beginning of his battle with the nearly three-meter-tall giant before him.
The Wood Resilience of his first spirit ring reduced the attacks Ding Quan received by several times. With the ultimate assistance of his own spirit bone fusion skill and Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was barely able to withstand the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
However, blood still trickled from the corner of Ding Quan's mouth, but Ding Quan's expression became even more excited.
A faint blue light flowed over Ding Quan's right leg, and the injury he had just sustained was rapidly healing.
A vertical eye appeared in the middle of the pale golden dragon-shaped pattern on his forehead. Powerful spiritual energy surged in Ding Quan's body. He unleashed the full power of the Sovereign Over the World. The spiritual soul core and the blood and qi yang attribute soul core in his body were running violently. The pale golden Dragon Abyss Domain and the red Killing God Domain resisted the Demon Whale Domain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King attacked Ding Quan, a huge blood-red longsword suddenly slashed at his outstretched hand. On the hilt of the Asura Demon Sword, an eye emitted a faint blood-red light.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was forced to stop moving. A blue-purple orb of light suddenly appeared in his hand and then collided with the Asura Demon Sword.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King possesses both water and lightning attributes. Although Ling and Shui Bing'er both possess ultimate attributes, they still cannot suppress the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's water and lightning attribute attacks. Under the influence of his nearly one million years of soul power, the suppression effect of ultimate attributes is no longer very obvious.
But it still had some effect after all.
A purple-gold domain spread out from the sky, and above the clouds, a purple-gold winged tiger, its body crackling with terrifying lightning, stared intently at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, two black, and two red—spun around on Wei'er's body as she unleashed her full power in her Thunder Domain.
Before Vera, who possessed ultimate lightning power, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lightning attribute was greatly suppressed by her domain power.
boom!
The blue-purple mineball exploded, blasting a huge crater in the surrounding ice. Ling was also thrown away by the explosion.
A set of silver-white armor radiated emerald-green soul power and was adorned with blood-red patterns. This was a set of soul bones formed by Ling after absorbing the external soul bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which had been around for 200,000 years, and after his soul power reached level 96 and his mental power surged again. He used his immense mental power to connect with all the soul bones in his body.
A colossal phoenix phantom passed by Ding Quan and crashed into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The immense impact sent him flying, crashing heavily into a massive iceberg, which shattered instantly.
Boom! Boom!
The iceberg, several kilometers wide, collapsed, burying the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Eighth Soul Skill - Ice Phoenix Meteor! Shui Bing'er's ninth soul ring continued to light up, while her eighth soul ring returned to its original state.
A huge crocodile tail extended, grabbing Ding Quan and the others and suddenly retreating.
Immediately, several huge blue-purple light spheres bombarded the golden crocodile tail. The solid crocodile tail gleamed with gold, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack could not injure the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was currently aided by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who emerged unscathed from beneath the collapsed iceberg, his physical strength was indeed only one step away from godhood.
