Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Do you understand?

“What good does it do to understand?” Poseidon shook her head in anguish. She knew that Qian Shui was not to blame; on the contrary, he was the one who wanted to help her.

However, she felt that the duties of the High Priest of the Sea God were more important, so she voluntarily gave them up.

Poseidon's sigh reminded Qian Renxue of her past with Qian Shui, "People always cherish things when they lose them. They are unwilling to seize the moment, so they lose everything, right?"

Poseidon looked at Qian Renxue with a somewhat absent-minded expression. "You know, Qian Shui and Tang Chen were very similar when they were young, except that he was much more flamboyant than Qian Shui back then, and he wasn't as reserved as her."

Of course, this is also related to his own strength. By his thirties, he was already a powerful figure. Among his peers, no one could surpass him. It was precisely because of this that, even knowing he was already married, I still couldn't help but fall for him.

Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen, you are truly my nemesis, even in the final moments of my life you still wouldn't let me go!

Qian Shui and Tang Chen look alike? The little angel doesn't think so. She knows how lazy the man beside her is; he doesn't even flinch when it comes to sex.

(How can you blame me? There's no such thing as a field that's been ruined! — Thousand Waters Douluo)

"The only thing Tang Chen and I are similar about is our strength, right? I'm not as clueless as him!"

Raising an eyebrow, even her little angel disagreed. "Really? Putting everything else aside, how many years have you owed me a birthday present?"

"Birthday?"

Let's not talk about that. Qian Shui's entire outfit was provided by Qian Renxue. It's like he's eating his wife's food, wearing his wife's clothes, and using his wife's things.

Looking back, he was such a grown man, yet he didn't own any property, and even his job was provided by his wife. In truth, he was nothing more than a gigolo who lived off his wife.

But how could this young couple possibly show affection in front of a centenarian single man?

Seeing Qian Shui looking helpless and at a loss, Poseidon smiled helplessly. Originally, she could have been like that with Tang Chen.

"Hmph! How dare you call someone a blockhead! Tang Chen is a legend, and you? A hidden Douluo?" The little angel was indeed furious when she heard this.

"I…"

With arms crossed and head turned at a 45-degree angle to look at the sky, not a fraction more or less, since the topic had been brought up, the little angel had to teach Qian Shui a lesson. "What do you mean, 'what ... what do you mean, ' other people's love is passionate and dramatic, but what about us? You've never even given me a bouquet of flowers!'"

"Who said that! I've given you the entire flower of ice and fire!"

The little angel rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Trying to talk to him about romance and the cheesy stuff about love was just too much for him; he was really fixated on the flowers.

"Shouldn't we get down to business?" Poseidon was extremely upset. Couldn't they have avoided putting on a romantic comedy in front of this sad old woman like her?

Even the two people in front of him showed their expressions. At this moment, Poseidon continued, "I don't know how to say it, but your strength has reached this level, which is certainly gratifying."

But you're too slow. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is no longer the same as before. It has found an ancient way to coexist with other sea spirit beasts and has gained abilities that do not belong to it.

If you hadn't wasted time and had directly killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King a few years ago, your eighth trial would have been much easier than it is now.

If I'm not mistaken, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King now possesses true level 100 strength, and even I am helpless against him.

Even more frightening is that, due to its growing strength, it is gradually conquering the ocean.

The reason I'm so eager to bring you back to complete the eighth trial of the Sea God is precisely because of this: if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King conquers the ocean…”

At this point, Qian Shui roughly understood, "Will the position of the Sea God disappear, or will it automatically be transferred to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

To put it bluntly, perhaps the sea god was in a hurry.

Qian Shui was actually applauding the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's actions. If someone was willing to be on the Investiture of the Gods, they could naturally take a place, so there was no need for him to be on it.

The only downside is that once the ocean's power is consolidated by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, war between humans and sea spirit beasts will be difficult to avoid.

The top ecological niche can only ever have one species; this is an absolutely cruel truth.

The Silver Dragon King is a true divine beast. Strictly speaking, she is no longer a species of soul beast. This is why it is difficult to negotiate with Di Tian, ​​but easier to negotiate with the Silver Dragon King.

This dragon's only enemy is the divine realm, not humanity.

But whether it's Di Tian or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, once a top-tier soul beast reaches this level, it will inevitably fight for survival space for the benefit of its race, especially with humans.

Shaking her head, Qian Shui put the idea of ​​the Dark Forest aside. "Sigh, forget it, why think so much?"

He single-handedly brought industrial civilization to the Douluo Continent, where soul beasts have virtually no chance of winning, except in this initial stage.

If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is allowed to continue its advance into the continent with the Sea Soul Beasts, it is possible that it could shatter Qian Shui's current plans in one blow. Based on that alone, that guy would have to become his soul ring.

"Just tell me directly, where is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

“It should be in the deep sea in the eastern part of Douluo Continent,” Poseidon said, but looked westward.

"understood…"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King should be on the other side of the planet, that is, the back of Douluo Continent. The eastern part that Poseidon refers to is probably the eastern part of Douluo Continent, which is closer to it than the Sun and Moon Continent.

Without saying much, he left Poseidon Island with his wife.

Even after forgetting their departing figures, Poseidon still lamented why fate had been so unfair to her and Tang Chen.

But the same question from Qian Shui echoed in her mind: compared to Tang Chen, which duty of the High Priest of the Sea God was more important?

Choice is destiny. The injustice she faced was ultimately her own choice, or perhaps it was the will of God.

Why is it that they, who all followed their own will, could be so happy and carefree, while I and Tang Chen could only be separated forever? Even my final death might have to be in vain, depending on Qian Shui's will.

Yes, Qian Shui knew what the succession of the divine position meant to the Grand Priest, but they, the angel heir, felt no sorrow.

Even though it seemed unbelievable, Poseidon couldn't help but wonder if they wanted to break through to level 100 on their own.

This idea, which she had once considered out of madness, and which she had lost control of when she fought Qian Shui and was defeated, made her increasingly believe that it was not impossible.

"By the way, what was that girl's name again? Sigh... when your heart grows old, you just grow old, right?"

...

"Little Water, why are we flying into the sky?"

"Since it's a planet, the ground beneath our feet is also rotating. There's no need to go through all this trouble to get to our destination quickly."

After quickly breaking through the stratosphere, Qian Renxue understood Qian Shui's meaning.

They only need to fly eastward after breaking through outer space, and then the planet's rotation will be relatively aligned with theirs.

"Transformation into a Divine Being! True Form of the Dharma Body!"

The massive Qian Shui stretched across the sky, but compared to the entire Douluo Star, it still appeared insignificant.

Upon arriving at his designated spatial orbit, he quickly set up a phased array of his soul, then used his divine sense to scan the endless sea.

"found it!"

With a general area as the target, finding the gigantic deep-sea whale king is not difficult.

"Sigh, the hardest part now is figuring out how to kill this guy..."

"This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

The two, now back on Douluo Star, were freed from the vacuum barrier and resumed their conversation.

"It's difficult. I promised the Silver Dragon King that I couldn't kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King using the monstrous soul technique. That guy is planning to resurrect this million-year-old soul beast later..."

Now that an agreement has been reached with the Silver Dragon King, it cannot be easily broken. At this time, the Douluo Continent still needs soul beasts, and they are also potential partners.

"Unless absolutely necessary, we must not hesitate!" Qian Renxue was worried about this; this guy always seemed hesitant about some things.

"I know that if the souls can't be annihilated, the fight will be a bit more complicated. But how could the two of us not be able to defeat one of them?"

"Poseidon has said that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has already reached level 100 strength!"

Qian Shui understood his wife's worries. The two connected mentally instantly, allowing the little angel to see the current state of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Parasitism? Or symbiosis?

After sharing the view, Qian Renxue could see the Shenghai Demon Whale King floating on the sea surface, but this guy was no longer just a giant whale.

At this time, the back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was covered with lush green vegetation, and its root system was extremely thick and reddish-purple.

"Symbiosis, perhaps? The creature on its back is probably some kind of plant-type soul beast similar to the Blue Silver Emperor, which might give it extremely strong vitality; otherwise, it wouldn't be worth doing this."

Knowing this, Qianshui's thoughts will change.

He also had another tactic: a meteorite falling from the sky. This was the strongest physical attack method, and this ballistic missile attack was the most difficult to defend against. He could even change the trajectory of the ballistic missile himself.

But ever since the One-Punch Shrimp incident, he dares not play this game on the sea again. If another tsunami is triggered, he will suffer on both ends. With his current abilities, he can only stop one wave at most, while the other wave will cause devastation.

After exchanging a glance with Qian Renxue, the two launched a ranged attack simultaneously as the first probe.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Angelic True Form! Angelic Domain, activate!"

Eighth Soul Skill, Enlightenment!

"Demon Orca Axe! Orca Fang Crusher!"

A massive golden beam of light, along with two red-glowing slashing soul bone techniques from the Demon Orca King's left leg bone, hurtled straight towards the Deep Sea Demon Orca King.

The sea below them had turned as black as ink, the immense pressure seemingly freezing the air. Above the entire sea, vast swaths of soul power coalesced, turning both above and below, sky and sea, into a deep, inky black.

Boom! Without warning, an enormous blue beam of light burst forth from the sea amidst the deafening roar, colliding with the two attacks almost instantly.

"So it was you." The deep voice seemed to come from the ocean, and strange sound waves traveled into the air.

"You know me?" Qian Shui was also surprised, after all, he had not gone to the Demon Whale Sea and had not encountered this giant whale at all.

“How could I not recognize the person chosen by the Sea God! Besides, you killed the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, right? How could I not have sensed that terrifying lightning tribulation?”

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye was fixed intently on Qian Shui's ninth spirit ring. The seven golden-patterned beast spirit ring undoubtedly meant that Qian Shui was the one who killed the Evil Emperor. At the same time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also noticed the Trident of the Sea God behind Qian Shui, which enraged it even more.

"However, since you're here, that's good! You're not leaving today, so stay! I wonder if devouring the Sea God's inheritor will help me break through that final barrier!"

As soon as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finished speaking, an impatient voice, neither male nor female, rang out, "Demon Whale, why waste words? Two powerful humans are a delicious meal! Kill them and become a Demon God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless fine, purplish-red beams of light shot out from the bushes behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, attacking Qian Shui and Qian Renxue.

"So there's no room for negotiation then?" Qian Shui muttered to himself as he activated Xuanwu Divine Defense to defend himself.

Actually, he had the scales of the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian as tokens, so it was possible to talk, but the other party didn't give him that chance at all.

"So you were the one who killed the old turtle!" The neither-male-nor-female voice rang out again.

"Noisy!"

The voice sounded so much like a eunuch's that it made Qian Shui physically uncomfortable.

By wielding the trident of Poseidon and throwing it, the harpoon was essentially returned to its traditional whaling function.

"Xiaoxue, may I borrow your sword?"

Compared to the harpoon, Qian Shui preferred the sword. He drew the Angelic Holy Sword from Qian Renxue's waist and slashed at her.
