Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 117 The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King

Inside the palace, Li Fei and Qian Renxue lay on a bed, looking at the analysis report in their hands. In the past two years, due to various policies, the status of Soul Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire has greatly declined, and their numbers have also decreased significantly. In addition, the rapid economic growth brought about by the policies has led the Star Luo Empire and Bibi Dong to believe that this is an easy target, and a very wealthy one at that, so they have been making constant underhanded moves in private.

Bibi Dong is alright, after all, she is still the Pope of the Spirit Hall and nominally still allied with Qian Renxue, so she doesn't dare to openly take action, but only engages in some small-scale operations in private. The Star Luo Empire is different. Their strength was originally much greater than that of the Heaven Dou Empire, and after absorbing a lot of Soul Masters, their strength has greatly increased. After that, they began to envy the economic level of the Heaven Dou Empire and have already openly begun to garrison troops on the border.

Furthermore, Pope Bibi Dong was still somewhat wary of Li Fei and Qian Renxue, so she tacitly approved of the Star Luo Empire's actions.

Qian Renxue asked, "We now have 200,000 Qi and Blood Martial Artists, although they are all at the first or second ring. But with the addition of high-level Soul Masters from sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we already have the strength to contend with both the Star Luo Empire and Bibi Dong's forces! So, should we start spreading the Qi and Blood Martial Arts now?!"

Plans really do always change!

Li Fei sighed and slowly said, "Let's not expose the Qi and Blood Warrior army yet. We'll talk about it after my trip to the ocean! With Uncle She and Uncle Ci's abilities, stabilizing the border situation shouldn't be a problem for now. Once I break through my strength this time, no one on this continent except for the gods should be my match. At that time, when I spread Qi and Blood cultivation, I'll have the strength to suppress it!"

"Okay, but you have to be quick and come back soon!" Qian Renxue said with a smile.

……

After leaving the palace, Li Fei transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Hanhai City. Because of his status as the successor of the Sea God, Sea God Island now has complete diplomatic relations with the Heavenly Dou Empire, which is completely different from before.

Li Fei only took a short stroll around Poseidon Island before riding Little White to the Demon Whale Sea. Compared to the Demon Orca Sea, this place was much more desolate, with hardly any deep-sea demon whales.

"Little White, you wait on the outskirts. Come pick me up after I've dealt with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!"

Sensing the immense and boundless soul power fluctuations from the seabed, Li Fei's eyes were filled with solemnity. He took out the Trident of the Sea God. The unfathomable soul power alone made him feel extremely troubled, not to mention that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"Lord Li Fei, please be careful!"

Little White nodded and turned to swim towards the edge of Poseidon Island.

Deep in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly opened its only remaining eye. Its scarlet eye was filled with killing intent and madness, and an incomparably terrifying soul power began to emanate from it, causing the entire Demon Whale Sea to begin to steam.

"I sensed the aura of the Sea God. Is that guy coming?! No, only a trace. He must be someone connected to the Sea God. Perfect timing to avenge my blindness back then!"

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the Trident of Poseidon, the killing intent in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King intensified. With a slight sway of its already completed Hua Long body, it stirred up endless ocean currents and swam towards Li Fei.

"Are they here?!"

Gripping the Trident of Poseidon tightly, and sensing the rapidly approaching soul power, Li Fei instantly activated his Martial Soul Possession. Eight soul rings—three black and five red—lit up, while eight blood-red soul rings appeared on the outer perimeter, ready for battle.

In the past two years, his fourth spirit ring has successfully evolved to the level of 100,000 years.

"puff!"

A column of water shot into the sky, and the massive 200-meter-long body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared in Li Fei's hand. Its single eye was fixed on the Trident of the Sea God in Li Fei's hand, and killing intent appeared in its eyes. The scarlet killing aura instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Demon Whale Sea.

"Boy, you must be the successor of the Sea God!" The cold voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King rang out.

"So what if it is! Anyway, my purpose in coming here is to kill you and make you my ninth soul ring!" Li Fei's tone was equally cold, without the slightest fear in his heart. He gripped the trident in his hand, and with a movement, he charged towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Since you are the descendant of the sea god, then you should die!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, and a huge six-pointed star magic array appeared in front of him, like a cannon turret. A thick purple-gold beam of light burst out and rushed straight towards Li Fei.

"Such tactics simply won't work on me!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Li Fei's eyes as he poured his soul power and blood energy into the Trident of the Sea God. Instantly, a crimson light emanated from the trident and pierced towards the thick, purple-gold pillar of light.

The moment it collided with the beam of light, the halberd unleashed boundless power, tearing the massive beam of light apart.

"roar!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared loudly, its enormous mouth opened, and a huge fireball, as big as the sun, appeared. The surrounding seawater began to boil, and the sea level dropped significantly in an instant, demonstrating the extreme temperature and power of the fireball.

The fireball hurtled down on Li Fei like a falling meteor.

"This is the ocean, and I'm holding the sea god's divine weapon! How dare I attack with my bare hands!"

The soul power within Li Fei's body instantly transformed into a perfect fusion of water attribute and blood qi. The liquid-like fusion power flowed around his body like water. He raised the trident of the sea god in his hand, and more than a dozen sea tornadoes that shot straight into the sky instantly appeared, carrying boundless waves and turning into curtains of water that enveloped the fireball and slowly annihilated it.

"Of course I know!!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cold voice rang out, and countless lightning orbs appeared in the surrounding space, densely covering the entire area.

"Sizzle!"

The lightning ball exploded instantly. Under the control of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the lightning, which had fused with the soul power of water, was like an arm, and thick bolts of lightning struck Li Fei, turning the entire sea area into a sea of ​​lightning.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Crimson Demon Mirror!"

"Magic Mirror Reflection!"

Li Fei's cold voice rang out from the sea of ​​thunder, and then, to the astonishment of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the power of the sea of ​​thunder actually gathered together and transformed into a pillar of lightning that struck him.

"roar!"

A pitiful roar came from the mouth of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It endured the pain in its body and looked at Li Fei's location with its scarlet eyes. It saw scarlet magic mirrors swirling around Li Fei, constantly reflecting the power of the lightning ball it had just used, gathering it into a single point, and then launching attacks against it.

"This is the power of the Demon Orca King! I never imagined it would unleash such power in your hands!"

With a surge of soul power, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King shattered the massive lightning bolt that was hurtling towards it. Then, it instantly submerged into the sea and swam around several times at an unimaginable speed.

Having fully charged up his strength, he instantly opened his massive maw and burst out of the sea, lunging at Li Fei.

"Flowing Water, Azure Dragon's Chant!"

Surrounded by flowing water, Li Fei swayed and transformed into a blue dragon, no smaller than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, carrying the Trident of the Sea God. After circling in the air once, he turned into a streak of light and plunged straight down.

"boom!"

The Azure Dragon and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King collided instantly, and the immense power caused the entire ocean to tremble. Waves transformed into tsunamis that swept in all directions. The enormous whale's mouth was filled with blue-purple light, resisting the attack of the Azure Dragon's teeth, which were formed from the Trident of the Sea God.

Outside the Demon Whale Sea, Little White Shark was like a lone boat in the sea, constantly resisting the onslaught of the waves. Keep in mind that she possessed a 100,000-year-old shark-type martial soul, yet she was still somewhat unable to withstand the impact of the waves.

The underwater world is even more dangerous. The massive currents created by the combined power of Li Fei and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are ten times more dangerous than the waves on the surface.

"My God! What kind of fighting power is this?!"

Having blocked the attack of the waves, Xiaobai looked with lingering fear at the constantly flashing blue light deep in the Demon Whale Sea.

"Haha, it seems you are not the successor of the Sea God, but just a human who obtained the Sea God's Trident by chance. You only use the Sea God's Trident as a weapon and have not used the Sea God's power at all!" The laughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King rang out. The only thing he feared on the entire ocean was the Sea God, and the human in front of him was not the successor of the Sea God that he thought he was.

The body, which had been 99% converted into energy, began to unleash terrifying power, and its agile whale tail lashed out at the giant azure dragon that Li Fei had transformed into.

After the battle with the Demonic Orca King and two years of reflection, Li Fei has made great progress in all aspects, and is no weaker than Limit Douluo like Qian Daoliu, and may even be much stronger.

Boom! The massive whale tail and dragon tail collided, and the entire world seemed to turn blue-purple and cyan. Both the blue-purple and cyan colors looked like countless bolts of lightning had coalesced together.

The power accumulated by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King over millions of years was truly immense, and it was only one step away from becoming a god. Its current actual realm was that of a demigod. Sensing the threat from Li Fei, it used almost all its strength in this attack.

The azure dragon that Li Fei transformed into was instantly covered with cracks and almost collapsed. However, Li Fei was not someone to be trifled with. He activated all eight of his Qi and Blood Soul Skills in an instant, and the violent Qi and Blood power merged with his soul power, transforming the entire azure dragon into a blood dragon.

The cracks vanished instantly, and the dragon's body became even stronger. The power at its tail surged, sending the Deep Sea Demon Whale King flying and crashing heavily into the deep sea.

Take advantage of your weakness to kill you!

Without the slightest pause, the enormous blood dragon plunged headfirst into the sea, lunging towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Is this really human?! Not that million-year-old soul beast, but not only can it perfectly fuse water and lightning power like me, it also possesses such ferocious blood energy!"

Despite the pain in his body as he continued to fall, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King stared in disbelief at the enormous blood dragon that was chasing after him from afar. His soul power erupted, and his Demon Whale Domain also burst forth instantly, with blue-purple light filling the entire sea area.

"Zhou Tian Domain!"

Unfortunately, its domain had no effect on Li Fei. After a flash of crimson light, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt as if he had entered another world. The entire world was burning with holy flames everywhere. The terrifying high temperature and the absence of water made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"No, we must break through this barrier!"

Looking at his surroundings, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a bad premonition. Having cultivated for a million years, he had long since overcome the weaknesses of being a sea spirit beast, and leaving the water would not affect his combat power.

These sacred flames naturally couldn't break through his defenses, but the unease in his heart made him realize that this domain must have effects that he couldn't perceive.

Roar! With a roar from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Demon Whale Domain began to compress and explode, forcibly creating an area within Li Fei's Zhou Tian Domain that he could move around in. At the same time, a giant sea urchin condensed in front of its mouth, and countless sharp spines on the sea urchin kept shooting out, launching indiscriminate attacks from all directions, with the aim of destroying Li Fei's Zhou Tian Domain.

But Li Fei would not let him have his way. Countless sacred flames shot into the sky, transforming into a huge fiery curtain that enveloped the space around the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, blocking the spikes that were entirely formed from the power of water and thunder.

"Damn it! He's trying to wear me down!"

As time went by, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally realized something was wrong, because he felt that in a short period of time, one-tenth of its soul power had been consumed, while Li Fei's aura on the other side not only did not decrease, but continued to increase steadily. You must know that he has accumulated millions of years of power, and a mere human soul master dares to compare with him in his strongest aspect.

"This is the power of evil!"

Sensing the sacred flames permeating the space, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally noticed the anomaly: the blazing sacred flames were actually mixed with a trace of evil power, but because the sacred attribute was too strong, he could hardly sense it.

As an upgraded attribute of the dark attribute, the evil attribute is absolutely unmatched by other attributes in terms of devouring soul power and feeding it back to the host. Just imagine how many strands of evil soul power must be burning in the endless holy flames within this huge Zhou Tian domain with a diameter of over 30,000 meters.

"So I found it after all!"

Li Fei was not surprised. He had thought of absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength through the Zhou Tian Domain as soon as he saw it. He didn't have the Asura God's secret help. If he wanted to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he had to break its strongest point.

That was the power it had accumulated over millions of years. Through the battle, Li Fei discovered that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had a profound foundation, but its maximum output frequency of soul power at the same time was only slightly stronger than that of a Limit Douluo, though very limited.

At this moment, Li Fei finally understood why a soul beast with nearly a million years of cultivation would be equivalent to a human Limit Douluo. After understanding this, he wanted to use the Zhou Tian Domain to absorb the soul power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Within the Zhou Tian Domain, the attributes of soul power are completely under Li Fei's control; whatever attribute he desires can be changed with a mere thought.

Something came up yesterday, so the second update will be delayed!
