Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 161 The End of the Sea

“Bridget,” she suddenly spoke, “tell me, aren’t human emotions a lot of trouble?”

Brigitte paused for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed."

She instantly understood that the master's unusual behavior these past few days was because of Su Qiu.

"The world of soul beasts is very simple," she said softly. "The strong rule; if you like something, you take it; if you don't, you kill it."

"But humans are different."

“They will hesitate, they will back down, and they will use all sorts of reasons to convince themselves not to face it.”

She paused, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips: "Perhaps undergoing a transformation and retraining was a mistake."

Brigitte raised her head and looked at her back: "My lord, you have done very well."

"Besides, hasn't Lord Nar, who represents humanity, already separated from you?"

Have they really broken up?

Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What do you think he's doing right now?"

Brigitte thought for a moment and replied, "She's probably having dinner with her companions."

“Or,” she paused, “I’m thinking of you.”

Gu Yue gave a soft hum: "He wouldn't miss me."

"That bastard is heartless all the time."

Seeing her master's demeanor change drastically at the mention of Su Qiu, Bi Ji sensed something was wrong.

More than a month later, the sea near the ship, which was originally azure blue, had turned dark purple.

A massive column of water, tens of meters in diameter, shot down from the distant sea, slamming heavily onto the ship's already activated soul-guided shield, causing ripples and violent tremors.

A swarm of deep-sea whales surrounded the giant ship.

Strangely, there was also a group of demonic great white sharks.

A dark mass of figures floated in the sea, some of which were no smaller than the soul beast that Su Qiu had "kidnapped" back then, and two of them even had a more terrifying aura.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

The piercing alarms blared throughout the giant ship, instantly turning the once peaceful cabins into chaos.

"Everyone, assemble at the designated location immediately!"

"Soul-guided shield activated at full power!"

"Battle Soul Masters, prepare to engage the enemy!"

……

On the deck, Zhuoshi rushed out of the cabin and looked up at the dark purple sea.

“These are…” he narrowed his eyes slightly, “two of them are soul beasts with a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years.”

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan and others also rushed to the deck. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp.

"So many?!" Xie Xie couldn't help but swear. "Have we broken some kind of taboo?"

A thicker, dark purple water column shot into the sky from the sea, carrying terrifying pressure, and slammed into the soul-guiding shield.

"boom--!!!"

The protective shield shook violently, and the entire giant ship trembled as if it would be overturned at any moment.

"They're testing the strength of the shield," Zhuoshi said in a deep voice. "If this continues, the shield won't last much longer."

Other powerful followers also appeared one after another.

Five titled Douluo, who were publicly known, stood in front of them.

Just as they were about to make their move, they were stunned by a sudden remark.

"Humans!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was filled with extreme rage: "Give me back my son!"

This roar was like a bomb dropped on calm water, instantly causing an uproar on the deck.

What the heck, your son?

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was furious. In its search for its suddenly missing son, it had called upon all its relatives.

Finally, more than a month later, they found the scent of its son on the ship.

In another part of the sea, Su Qiu lay on top of a deep-sea whale, basking in the sun.

"People, this is going to be good." The deep-sea demon whale looked at the collision in the distance and said gloatingly, "A soul beast has actually come to attack your place."

Having spent time with Su Qiu, it was well aware of the humans' strength. Those soul beasts were doomed.

"Oh?" Su Qiu's expression turned strange after receiving the news from the ship. "My teacher said those soul beasts are helping a Deep Sea Demon Whale King find its son." "Finding its son?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale was stunned. "Holy crap! That's my dad!"

It swam frantically in that direction.

"Father!" the deep-sea whale roared as it accelerated, "Stop!"

Having been caught by Makino, it knew very well that it couldn't withstand even one punch from its father.

Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was about to launch another attack, its movements suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?" Its massive body trembled slightly as it looked in the direction of the sound.

A deep-sea whale, slightly smaller than itself, was charging towards them like a madman, shouting as it went:

"Dad! Stop hitting them! If you keep fighting, they'll beat you to death!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the surrounding Deep Sea Demon Whale pods, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark pods. Even the humans on the deck fell silent.

The air became silent for a moment.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was furious and was about to give it fatherly love, but suddenly froze: "Little Black, you've broken through?"

“That’s right,” Xiao Hei said smugly.

Then it lowered its voice and said, "Father, how many times have I told you, call me Black King when we're out in public."

The veins on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's forehead twitched slightly, clearly indicating its dissatisfaction with the title "Black King." However, in the next instant, its attention was firmly drawn to the aura within Little Black's body that far surpassed anything it had ever experienced before.

"You really broke through to 100,000 years?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice carried a hint of disbelief.

The unique aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Xiao Hei, spread out faintly: "That's natural."

"I haven't been home for over a month because of this."

As it spoke, it lowered its head, revealing Su Qiu on its back: "Thanks to people."

Only then did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King notice Su Qiu.

At first, it didn't take it seriously, but when its gaze fell on Su Qiu, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a chill run down its spine.

Memories from countless years ago resurfaced.

"I see."

The massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King throbbed, and a glimmer of light appeared, falling towards Su Qiu.

"people."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice was deep and solemn, carrying a hint of barely perceptible awe.

"Please come to the end of the sea sometime in the future."

Then it let out a low growl.

All the sea spirit beasts followed it away, and Little Black was naturally among them.

Goodbye, everyone. Come visit again sometime!

Su Qiu jumped back onto the deck, looking at the departing soul beasts, feeling utterly bewildered.

He raised his hand, and a wisp of spiritual light, given to him by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, floated in his palm.

Su Qiu probed in with her spiritual power.

Is this a travel permit?

Gu Yue walked over. After more than a month of self-isolation, she had barely managed to return to the way she used to interact with Su Qiu.

"what is this?"

Su Qiu explained, "According to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the 'road sign' should point to the end of that ocean."

He looked at Gu Yue and asked the Silver Dragon King, who possessed extraordinary wisdom, "What is the end of the sea?"

"That could be considered a place to become a god," Gu Yue said thoughtfully, looking at the road pass.

"Poseidon Island?"

"How could that be?" Gu Yue smiled dismissively, then said no more, leaving Su Qiu completely bewildered.

Damn the Riddler.

Everything went smoothly after that.

The giant ship, which had been sailing at sea for a long time, finally arrived at the Star Luo Continent.

　This chapter sets the stage for a later subplot, a kind of secondary setting, but I won't write too much about it. I usually add secondary plots to give the protagonist a quick and easy power boost.
