Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 188 Poseidon Island

The aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was truly terrifying. Under the effect of its burst of soul power, the entire sea area seemed to boil.

Ding Quan felt immense pressure; the soul power it released was actually able to exert such a strong suppression on its clone, which was thousands of meters away.

With such immense pressure, if one were to get any closer, even moving would become incredibly difficult.

His gaze swept over an enormous, deep blue figure on the sea surface, and from this massive body emanated a terrifying, blood-red soul power.

This was absolutely the most domineering and concentrated soul power I had ever seen, and its sheer size filled me with fear.

As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King became enraged, the crimson soul power involuntarily condensed on its body, as if forming a suit of armor.

Ding Quan knew this was not an illusion. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King could indeed transform his soul power into a suit of armor, ignoring most attacks. In his later battle with Tang San, he was even able to use this to fight against Tang San, who possessed the Sea God's artifact, and withstand the damage from the artifact.

Fortunately, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has reached a strength of nearly a million years, it has not mastered spatial attributes. The reason it was able to catch up at such a fast speed is entirely due to its own strength.

I can use some spatial power. Although this clone's strength is only at the eighth ring, it is definitely at the level of a Super Douluo. With this spatial power, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King won't be able to catch up directly.

However, it's only a matter of time.

Ding Quan felt his soul power starting to deplete. Even with the Yin-Yang dual soul cores, the recovery speed was ultimately limited, and the consumption of soul power was now too great.

A streak of light shot towards the Demon Whale's domain, followed by a massive wave that roared past, forming a terrifying giant wave.

Suddenly, Ding Quan sensed a deadly threat as a blue-purple orb of light appeared behind him in the blink of an eye.

The Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand glowed with golden light, and a black soul ring on his body lit up as he slashed down!
boom!
A terrifying roar echoed throughout the Demon Whale Sea.

The Demon Whale Domain is the lair of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and there are basically no soul beasts in this sea area.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's true lifespan was only a little over 300,000 years. He rapidly increased his lifespan by devouring other sea spirit beasts, and with his enormous body and terrifying defense, he quickly survived nine heavenly tribulations.

The reason he was able to pass through the tribulation of lightning without any effort was that he relied on the protection of the deep sea, as the power of lightning was greatly reduced once it entered the sea.

More importantly, he possesses terrifying lightning and water attributes!
Ding Quan felt as if he had been struck by a giant hammer, making it difficult to even breathe. His body was thrown into the air at a speed several times faster than when he was flying at full speed.

My body's defenses have decreased by more than 30%, and I've even started to feel numbness in my body.

The lightning attribute actually had an effect on me, who possessed two extreme attributes. Even if this purple lightning hadn't reached its extreme level, it was definitely not far off!
With his incredibly powerful soul force, Ding Quan was immune to his own attribute suppression. He felt that his body was showing signs of collapse. He used the fourth soul skill of his Dragon Abyss Sword to block the purple light ball, but the massive soul force attack within it had actually forced him to this extent.

This clone is quite powerful; Ding Quan is confident he can take down even some 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

If my true self were present, the outcome would likely be the same.

A terrifying killing intent enveloped his entire body, and his aura suddenly surged, dispelling these negative effects. Then, relying on the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack, he once again ran into the distance.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked on in disbelief at Ding Quan's actions.

He still had strength left after taking that attack; that attack was enough to kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

It was somewhat unexpected that this Soul Master with Dragon Might was a Sword Martial Soul, but it was surprising that he was able to withstand the water mine just now.

Several more blue-purple orbs of light reappeared around the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, surging away into the distance like stars chasing the moon.

A terrifying commotion erupted in the usually tranquil territory of the Demon Whale, turning the surrounding seas into turbulent waves.

"Someone is fighting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Who's out of their mind?"

In a sea area, the once calm waters were suddenly stirred up by a shocked sound coming from the mouth of a shark that was more than ten meters long.

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"

"That's right, he is the absolute overlord of this sea. Even if the Grand Elder were to take action, he might not be able to defeat him!"

"Senior Poseidon? The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is that strong?" The group sitting on the Demon Soul Great White Shark looked puzzled upon hearing this. Although they had heard of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King before coming to Seagod Island, and that he was an extremely terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beast, they never expected him to be this terrifying.

Poseidon, the High Priest of Seagod Island, is a peerless being at level ninety-nine. What kind of 100,000-year-old soul beast could possibly be his match?

"Of course. You may not know this, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is over 900,000 years old. He even fought with the Sea God during those 10,000 years and was eventually defeated by the Sea God."

This demonic great white shark is Little White, the mount of the sea god before he became a god ten thousand years ago.

After the Sea God successfully ascended to the God Realm, Xiao Bai also became the guardian spirit beast of Sea God Island.

She was naturally well aware of the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; only the Grand Priest of Seagod Island could rival him.

"Nine hundred thousand years, isn't that what they mean?" Tang San and his group on Xiao Bai's back were quite surprised to hear this. Wasn't the maximum lifespan of a soul beast 100,000 years?
"It seems you don't know much. When a soul beast reaches the strength of 100,000 years, it will face a lightning tribulation after 1,000 years. Once it passes the lightning tribulation, it can live for another 100,000 years and then face a second lightning tribulation. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is an existence that has already passed nine lightning tribulations." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already reached this level 10,000 years ago, and now, 10,000 years later, he may only be one step away from the realm of the Sea God 10,000 years ago.

"He survived nine tribulations of lightning!" Tang San's expression was solemn. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. No wonder only Senior Poseidon could fight against him.

Only a Title Douluo with a ninth spirit ring can absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. What kind of strength would be needed to absorb a spirit ring with a lifespan exceeding 100,000 years?

He was now on the third test, and the content of this third test excited Tang San greatly.

Assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark in hunting down the infamous Demon Orca King of the ocean!

This Demon Orca King is a rare 100,000-year-old soul beast in the ocean. If I can hunt it down, I can absorb its soul bone and its soul ring.

The Clear Sky Hammer has a 100,000-year-old seventh spirit ring; this spirit ring configuration is the same as that person's.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang San's eyes. If he could absorb that divinely bestowed spirit ring after passing the second trial, his sixth spirit ring would definitely be a hundred thousand years old. It's just a pity that the energy of a hundred thousand-year spirit ring is much stronger than that of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring!
"Oh no! They seem to be coming this way!"

Xiao Bai seemed to have sensed something, and his tone became somewhat alarmed!

The aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King instilled fear in all the races of the sea, and their reverence for him ran deep in their bones. There was no doubt that the terrifying aura approaching him was real.

"What!" Ma Hongjun was also somewhat frightened upon hearing this. This was an existence on par with the High Priest of Seagod Island. Poseidon had previously released her aura, and even breathing was difficult under the influence of her soul power, which she hadn't intentionally released.

Such a being could kill several people simply by releasing its soul power.

"I seem to sense a familiar aura." Tang San looked towards the horizon, where a giant storm raged, with flashes of light appearing intermittently. "A familiar aura?" Dai Mubai, upon hearing this, also looked towards the horizon. Was this the commotion caused by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Even from such a distance, the area it covered seemed incredibly vast.

“Indeed, I seem to have seen something like this before!” Oscar looked at the giant storm, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Could it be them!? Sunset Forest!" Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately spoke up when he saw the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces.

"If it really is them, then what are they now?"

Dai Mubai's expression flashed with doubt. Ding Quan and the others were indeed powerful, but how could they have grown to that level in such a short time?

"What are you talking about? I'd better leave here first!" Little White moved swiftly and headed towards Seagod Island. In the vast ocean, only Seagod Island could stand against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Although the illusory body was somewhat disheveled at this moment, a smile actually flashed across its face.

A blue-purple orb of light suddenly appeared behind Ding Quan again, but this time Ding Quan did not attack it. Instead, his body disappeared from the spot and then reappeared a hundred meters away.

Unexpectedly, during the time he was attacked by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, his control over spatial power became more and more proficient.

Although his speed is not as fast as the teleportation skill, it is still incredibly fast, and he is now able to barely dodge the water mine ball.

and!

boom!
The blue-purple orb of light exploded, creating huge waves on the sea. With the Yin and Yang soul cores on Ding Quan's body operating, the energy emitted by the burst of water and lightning power was absorbed by Ding Quan, restoring his severely depleted soul power.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had been chasing him for a long time. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was indeed very fast, but it was no match for his spatial abilities. If it weren't for his overwhelming strength, this clone might have been able to continue even with its severely depleted soul power.

The Demon Whale Domain could make up for this deficiency, but unfortunately, I possess several domains that can resist its domain power.

Now I have traversed the entire Demon Whale Sea and entered the other side of the Demon Whale Sea.

If I'm not mistaken, if we keep flying forward, we'll soon reach Douluo Continent. Of course, we might see Seagod Island first.

"Why aren't you running anymore!?" The voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King rang out, and Ding Quan in the sky had stopped moving.

"Senior Demon Whale, I must thank you for your pursuit all the way, which allowed me to master my own power so quickly."

"Damn it!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King naturally realized that in just a few short hours, this person had gone from being flustered and struggling to deal with his attacks to being able to easily dodge them. This guy was too cunning.

What's even more important now is that the soul power of this person in front of us is showing signs of collapse!

"Senior Demon Whale, the time left for you is actually running out!" Ding Quan held the Dragon Abyss Sword horizontally in front of him, and the eight soul rings on his body—two yellow, one purple, three black, and two red—slowly rotated.

"Time is running out!"

“The successor of the Sea God has appeared, and you are destined to be his stepping stone.”

"you!"

"No need to refute, you already have the answer in your heart. However, senior, perhaps you have another path, just like this spirit ring!" As Ding Quan spoke, his seventh spirit ring glowed slightly, followed by a burst of snow-white domain and a terrifying chill emanating from his body. "Looking forward to meeting you again!"

The two soul cores on his body suddenly shattered, and terrifying soul power burst forth from them.

The moment the two soul cores exploded, the giant sword, which was originally a hundred meters long, expanded several times over, and a giant sword several hundred meters long appeared in the sky.

A terrifying chill swept across, and the seawater whipped up by the storm on Ding Quan's body was frozen in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the storm was frozen, a waterspout that stretched straight to the clouds took shape, and so did the clouds above.

The Dragon Abyss Sword, hundreds of meters long, emanated a sharp, chilling aura before suddenly thrusting towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Emperor's Sword! Unrivaled Ice!
The illusory body vanished instantly after unleashing this attack, and a massive Dragon Abyss Sword pierced directly into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King above the sea surface.

Boom!
A dull sound rang out, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body sank slightly, but its form remained completely still.

Crack! ~Bang!
Cracks appeared on the Dragon Abyss Sword, which had lost its soul power support, and it shattered completely.

A chill swept across the sea, and a giant iceberg instantly appeared on the surface of the ocean.

The remaining eye of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King glowed crimson; the creature he had been chasing for so long had been reduced to ashes!

Feeling a slight stinging pain in his body, he was amazed that the strength of the eighth ring could unleash such an attack. Even the Sea God from ten thousand years ago could not achieve such a feat at the eighth ring stage!
This is a Soul Master who is no less powerful than the Sea God from ten thousand years ago.

No wonder he has a soul ring with a lifespan of 700,000 years.

Ding Quan's seventh spirit ring has seven golden patterns. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King naturally knows what it means. For a spirit master to absorb a spirit beast of such strength when it reaches the seventh spirit ring stage is simply wishful thinking.

Unless a sacrifice is made!

As for becoming a god! The crimson color in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dissipated and turned into azure. His strength had definitely reached the conditions for becoming a god, but he was unable to take that crucial step, and this had been going on for nearly ten thousand years.

Now, the next Poseidon is about to appear!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked towards the direction of Sea God Island with one eye. Ten thousand years ago, the Sea God had the ability to kill him, but in the end he only blinded one of his eyes. Keeping him alive was not only to make the races in the sea worship the Sea God, but also to make him a stepping stone for the next Sea God. There was nothing faster than getting the faith of the various races in the sea than eliminating him.

Ignoring the scene before him, the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King plunged into the deep sea.

"Such a sight is truly something a Soul Master could achieve!"

After some time, the group arrived here and saw the huge ice pillars that stretched straight to the sky on the ice floes, as well as the frozen clouds in the sky that had not melted after such a long time and still exuded an astonishing chill.

"Such powerful sword intent! It's him!"

Tang San looked at the clearly visible sword marks on the ice ridge and immediately understood.

Is this the person the Sea God spoke of? In mid-air, Poseidon looked at this strange sight, never expecting that this person could actually fight against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Such an opponent? Tang San, can you really get that thing from him?
