Chapter 230 Communication
At this moment, Ling and Shui Bing'er's true strength had reached level 99. With the assistance of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, their attributes were boosted by 100%. At this point, even a level 99 Peerless Douluo might not be able to defeat them.
Now, Shui Bing'er unleashed her eighth soul skill, an attack skill provided by the Ice Bear King with a lifespan of 300,000 years. It only managed to repel the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who appeared unharmed. Such an attack soul skill could not even hurt him.
Ding Quan knew that the other party's body was already extremely close to a divine body, and his body was incomparable to Tang Chen's demigod body back then.
"How's Ding Quan doing?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was somewhat surprised to see Ding Quan had recovered. Logically speaking, Ding Quan, who was only a quasi-titled Douluo, should not have been able to get involved in a battle of this level. Yet Ding Quan had actually withstood several attacks from the opponent.
Although injured, he doesn't seem to have any problems.
In addition, all three of them possessed the Soul Bone Fusion Technique, which truly surprised him.
Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at the armor that appeared on the group. The armor was well-coordinated, as if it had been tailor-made for Ding Quan and the others. Although it was armor, it felt like they were wearing soft armor, which did not affect their movements at all.
"fine."
"To defeat him, ordinary attacking soul skills are not enough." Shui Bing'er looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had withstood her eighth soul skill. He was indeed not so easy to deal with.
"We can't drag this out for too long; our soul power can't sustain us for much longer." Ling said, raising the Asura Demon Sword in his hand and cautiously looking at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The other party was also wary of this divine weapon and dared not confront it head-on.
Everyone possesses dual soul cores, allowing them to recover their soul power extremely quickly, but even they cannot withstand the full force they are using at this moment.
Furthermore, with Ning Rongrong providing support, and since she only has a single soul core, her soul power is probably being depleted the fastest among them. Once Ning Rongrong's support is gone, the group will be defeated in an instant.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, are you really not going to consider my previous suggestion?" Ding Quan took a deep breath and stared at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King again. Golden light emanated from the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, and a powerful dragon might rose up. Shui Bing'er, who was standing next to him, came to stand next to Ding Quan, and the phoenix phantom on her body became more solid.
"Wishful thinking!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sneered. When Ling Dong used the Asura Demon Sword the moment the group started fighting, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately noticed the unusual nature of the Asura Demon Sword.
Ten thousand years ago, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had fought against the previous Sea God, sensed a power contained within the Asura Demon Sword—divine power!
After the Sea God became a god, his martial spirit became a divine artifact, and the Asura Demon Sword possessed power no less than that of the Sea God's Trident.
Despite the words of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, one of his eyes was fixed on the Asura Demon Sword.
Through the exchange just now, he had already understood the strength of the people in front of him. They were indeed very strong, but there was still a considerable gap between them and himself.
And it seems that only that divine weapon can harm him.
"Your lifespan is already close to a million years, yet you have been unable to take the final step to godhood. You must have realized this long ago. If you could become a god, you wouldn't have been stuck at this level for so long."
Ding Quan knew very well that the soul beasts of Douluo Continent could not become gods because of the God Realm.
"Once I devour you, I definitely will!" Upon hearing this, the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King surged once more, and a fierce and soul-stirring roar from within the Demon Whale Domain entered the minds of Ding Quan and the others.
However, under the power of the domains released by everyone, the Demon Whale Domain no longer had a significant impact on everyone's spirits.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has lived for over 990,000 years, just one step away from a million years, he has not actually lived for over 900,000 years.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is only a little over 300,000 years old. The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan has a talent similar to that of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which is that they can devour other soul beasts to quickly improve their cultivation.
This ability allowed him to surpass most of the creatures in the ocean in a very short time, making him the overlord of the ocean.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been stuck at this level for far too long. He reached this level ten thousand years ago, before the Sea God condensed the faith of the sea to become a god.
At this time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was also in the final stage of transforming into a dragon and could not succeed.
Ding Quan possesses the aura of a true dragon's bloodline, which is why the Deep Sea Demon Whale King sensed the Dragon Abyss Domain aura released by Ding Quan and pursued him.
"Even if you devour me, you cannot become a god! My seventh spirit ring comes from an existence whose strength is no less than yours." Ding Quan stared at his seventh spirit ring, and the Snow Emperor spirit ring with seven golden patterns immediately emitted an astonishing spiritual pressure.
Ding Quan's words were true. Although the Snow Emperor was 700,000 years old, it was still much shorter than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was over 990,000 years old.
However, for a soul beast to reach such a level of age, age may only reflect its inherent potential.
Although Snow Empress was no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not stop Snow Empress from leaving. If it were Snow Empress's home ground, the far north, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would not be a match for Snow Empress.
The power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is beyond doubt, but Di Tian, who appeared ten thousand years later, is even more powerful. At that time, Xue Di once said that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would definitely not be a match for Di Tian.
In the far north, even the Emperor of Heaven would be wary of the Snow Emperor.
At the level of the Snow Emperor, the number of years is no longer too important. After all, several thousand years later, the Evil Emperor, who was less than 790,000 years old, dared to challenge the Emperor Tian, who was more than 800,000 years old.
Di Tian is a top-tier being with the bloodline of the Dragon God. There are no soul beasts in the Douluo Continent whose bloodline power surpasses his.
"Not inferior to me!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had long ago noticed the spirit rings on Ding Quan and the others; those 100,000-year spirit rings all emitted spiritual fluctuations.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King does not possess any spiritual attributes, his spiritual power is not weak; otherwise, he could not have cultivated to such a level.
Ding Quan's seventh spirit ring came from an existence with an age of over 700,000 years. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't possibly fail to recognize this, which was also what he found hard to believe. An existence with an age of 700,000 years could indeed be no weaker than him.
After he reached 500,000 years of lifespan, he could sense that although his strength was increasing, the increase was already limited.
"This senior saw the potential for godhood in me, so she offered herself to me. If I become a god, she will be able to go with me to the realm of gods and gain eternal life!"
As Ding Quan spoke, he looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who then ceased his attack.
The fight between Ding Quan and the others lasted for quite some time. Ding Quan, Shui Bing'er, and Ling all possessed extreme ice attributes. During this time, they released their soul power, which caused a huge ice island to appear in the Demon Whale Sea.
At this point, the Icelandic island was nearly two hundred miles wide and was still frozen in the sea, its size continuing to grow.
Above the sky, due to the battle, dark clouds gathered. After releasing the power of her eighth soul skill, Vera dived into the clouds, gathered the power of lightning to attack the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and released her domain to suppress the opponent's lightning attribute.
After fighting for so long, Ding Quan knew that he was no longer a threat to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was also helpless against him and his group.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength is indeed only below the god level, but his methods are too simplistic, relying mainly on his powerful body.
Although it's unclear to what extent Ling and Shui Bing'er's strength has reached with the aid of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it's definitely not the ordinary level 99 strength.
When Golden Crocodile Douluo was assisting him in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, he said that with his attributes being increased by 100%, his strength might not be weaker than that of Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, who was able to use divine power.
In the original story, after Tang San used the Exploding Ring, his strength reached the god-level mentioned by Ning Rongrong. Only then did he severely injure the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with the help of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. It is possible that the Asura God also helped him achieve this.
Although Ling is now able to use the Asura Demon Sword, it is obvious that no divine power appears in the Killing God Domain she releases.
"Become a god! Is this the reason she sacrificed herself for you?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tone was low. He never expected that Ding Quan obtained this 700,000-year-old soul ring because that 700,000-year-old soul beast wanted to take the opportunity to become a god.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had no doubt about whether Ding Quan could become a god.
Of the people who appeared before him, apart from the Golden Crocodile Douluo who only had a 100,000-year soul ring, he could roughly tell the ages of the others.
They were so young, only in their twenties. Considering his age of over 300,000 years, sometimes a single nap could take decades to pass.
Ding Quan and his companions possessed the strongest talent he had ever seen; even the Sea God from ten thousand years ago could not compare to them.
Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's blood-red eyes once again fell on the Asura Demon Sword in Ling's hand.
This person has already obtained a divine artifact, and will likely become a god in the future. Even the Sea God from ten thousand years ago could only look up to her in terms of her soul ring configuration.
"Demon Whale King, you want to devour the spring? You can't. And you should know that she and I are only level 96 right now!" Ling pointed the Asura Demon Sword at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the blood-red aura within his Killing God Domain condensing on the sword. "At my cultivation speed, reaching level 99 won't take long. And once I reach level 99, your current strength won't be a problem for me!"
Ling exuded a murderous aura. After their recent encounters, everyone had a clear understanding of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is powerful, but his attacks are not considered strong among those of the same level. His water and lightning attributes are countered by several people, but at this moment, the counters are not very obvious due to the difference in levels.
However, once everyone reaches level 99 and is at the same level as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the elemental advantage between them will be absolutely fatal.
"At our cultivation speed, it will only take a few years to reach level 99. At that time, I wonder if you will still be able to block my soul skill." Shui Bing'er was obviously a little concerned that her eighth soul skill had not hurt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"snort!"
Sure enough, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression grew even more gloomy.
He could naturally tell that Ling and Shui Bing'er were not lying. At level 96, they already possessed the power to rival him. Once they reached level 99, their strength would definitely surpass that of the current High Priest of Seagod Island.
At their age, it wouldn't take them long to reach level 99.
There is a three-level difference between level 99 and level 96. A three-level difference may not be a big deal at other stages of a Soul Master, but this is Super Douluo.
After becoming a Super Douluo, each level up is equivalent to an evolution of the Martial Soul, resulting in a dramatic change in strength.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has seen many Title Douluos on Seagod Island. He is very clear about the strength of each level of Soul Master.
He narrowed his single eye, thinking that these two might not even need to cultivate to level ninety-nine; just one level increase in strength would be enough to make them difficult to deal with.
That Soul Master with only one 100,000-year Soul Ring was a level 99 being. With such formidable defensive power, I couldn't hurt him at all, and the threat he posed to me was far greater than that of the others.
"Demon Whale King, the Sea God now has a successor. As far as I know, this successor is still missing one spirit ring, and he has already cultivated to the level of Title Douluo. Do you think that if he cultivates to level ninety-nine, you might become his last spirit ring?" Ding Quan said again when he saw the Deep Sea Demon Whale King stop and look thoughtful.
The Sea God's throne had a successor, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was certainly aware of it. He could see the commotion on Sea God Island from the far north, so he could naturally see it in the Demon Whale Sea as well.
"The ninth spirit ring?"
"The inheritor of the Sea God possesses twin martial souls. It's true that few soul masters would dare to absorb your soul rings, but if it were a level 99 expert with the same strength as you, or even a demigod or higher, do you think he could hunt you down and absorb your soul rings?"
Ding Quan's words were not a lie. Judging from Tang San's previous trip directly to Seagod Island, he indeed had not yet obtained his ninth spirit ring.
If Tang San hadn't absorbed the ninth spirit ring, once his strength reached a certain level, there was indeed a high probability that he would have taken action against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was surprised, he didn't say much. The Sea God had a successor, but the Spirit Hall also had a successor to the divine position.
Qian Renxue has inherited the angelic legacy, and Bibi Dong of the Papal Palace is now even more feared by the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu, as she also exhibits divine power.
There's also Hu Liena, Bibi Dong's disciple. She met Ding Quan and the others at the entrance of the Hall of Worship. The Hall of Worship is full of beings with soul power exceeding level 96, so they naturally heard the conversation between Ding Quan and the others and Hu Liena. She received the inheritance of a fallen god, and if nothing unexpected happens, she may be able to become a god without undergoing a divine trial.
Furthermore, Ding Quan's seventh spirit ring was indeed obtained through a spirit beast sacrifice. Indeed, few spirit masters can absorb a spirit ring of this age at the Spirit Saint stage; there is no other possibility besides sacrifice.
However, in this way, the 100,000-year soul rings on Ding Quan and his group may all have come from the sacrifice of soul beasts.
Only in this way will their spirit rings have golden patterns.
"What!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally showed a strange expression. Having witnessed the power of a god, he knew very well what kind of strength a god possessed.
A being at level ninety-nine who can wield divine power could indeed kill him, especially with the power of the sea god. In the vast ocean, he no longer had the advantage of the sea.
"Moreover, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, if you die, do you think your wife and daughter will still have a chance to live? After all, you are the common enemy of the sea spirit beasts." In his more than 300,000 years, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has devoured countless sea spirit beasts, and countless sea spirit beasts wish for his death.
"You!!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's one eye became dangerous; the fact that he had a wife and daughter had never been revealed.
"Offer yourself to me, and if you become a god, you too can gain eternal life!" Ding Quan said, grabbing Shui Bing'er's hand. "And I might even be able to kill you!"
The Dragon Abyss Domain on Ding Quan and the Ice Phoenix Domain on Shui Bing'er quietly merged.
"This is... a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at Ding Quan and Shui Bing'er, their auras merging. Was this the real reason Shui Bing'er joined Ding Quan's team? She'd kept it a secret for a long time!
However, when their true strength reaches level 99 and they unleash a Soul Fusion Technique with another powerful expert who has reached the peak of Douluo level, the power they possess is simply immeasurable!
