Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not respond immediately.

He simply turned his head slightly and looked at her with his golden eyes.

Beside them, the Queen of the Deep Sea Whales remained quietly suspended.

Her gaze toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King held a different kind of caution than that of Lan Fuzi; it was a concern for the essence of things that came from years of experience.

She finally spoke, her voice not loud, but carrying a solid presence like an underwater mountain range: "What are your plans next?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen knew that the gods would eventually go to the God Realm, the final destination for all beings who stepped into the divine realm.

But she didn't know if the gods could take people there, nor did she know if that realm covered by clouds and light could accommodate someone who had not yet become a god.

The Queen of the Deep Sea Demon Whale could only ask him, and could only judge her and her daughter's next position from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's answer.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shifted his gaze from her face to the vast space in the distance, covered by dark seawater.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice like a deep echo rising from the depths of the seabed: "Attack Poseidon Island."

……

That day, Xiaobai was patrolling her usual route.

Her silvery-white scales gleamed coldly in the deep water, like a sharp blade that had been repeatedly honed but never truly used. Each flick of her tail fin left a thin, clear white trail in the water behind her.

Her patrol area is now wider than before, and those waters that were once considered safe are now being redefined by an invisible layer of doubt.

In the afternoon, just as Xiaobai crossed an underwater ridge covered with seaweed, she sensed unusual activity in the seawater ahead.

The anomalies did not originate from a single source, but rather surged in from multiple directions simultaneously, mixing together like a net being slowly tightened.

Chapter 583 The Army of Soul Beasts

Xiao Bai stopped and floated in the water, its spiritual power spreading forward like invisible tentacles.

Then, her pupils suddenly contracted.

In the distant sea, she saw those enormous figures moving slowly, in groups, like dark mountains rising from the deep sea, all moving in the same direction.

That direction was exactly where Poseidon Island was located.

Xiao Bai did not hesitate.

She turned abruptly, her silvery-white body rapidly shifting in the water, the thin white trail behind her stretched out again, like a line being withdrawn.

After swimming a distance, she suddenly raised her head and let out a long, penetrating cry.

The sound was like a sharp blade cutting through the water, spreading far and wide along the sea.

On the other side of the sea, the great white sharks patrolling their respective positions raised their heads almost simultaneously. They heard the long cry and received the message within it.

They immediately abandoned their patrol mission and rushed toward Little White at their fastest speed.

Without waiting for the entire herd to gather, Xiaobai abruptly changed direction after letting out that long cry and sped off towards Seagod Island.

Her tail fin swung rapidly in the water, so fast that the surrounding scenery turned into flowing, blurry blocks of color beside her. The originally clear outlines of the seabed terrain flashed by in her perception like pages of a rapidly turning book.

Xiao Bai knew she had to arrive as soon as possible. The demonic great white sharks that were approaching her would continue to follow her aura, and what she needed to do now was to deliver the message to Seagod Island before the deep-sea demonic whale clan actually arrived.

The outline of Poseidon Island gradually became clearer in her vision.

The white sand beach shrouded in the power of the sea god and the ancient mountain that seemed to rise from the sea were faintly visible in the sea mist.

Xiao Bai did not slow down; her figure was like a silver-white arrow, cutting directly from the sea surface into the outer waters of Poseidon Island.

The waves were pushed to both sides the moment she broke through the water, and then closed up again after her body passed through.

When she rushed onto the shallows, the several Seagod Island patrolling soul masters on the shore were startled.

Just before crashing into the rocks, Little White forcibly changed direction, glided along the edge of the beach, leaving a thin trail of water, and then jumped ashore.

Her body transformed from its sea form to its human form in mid-air, her long silver hair drawing an arc in the air, and when she landed, her feet were firmly planted on the rocks on the shore.

Water droplets still clung to her body, and her silvery-white scales, in human form, transformed into a thin battle robe clinging to her skin, gleaming coldly in the afternoon sun.

Xiaobai didn't stop. She jumped off the rocks and quickly walked towards the inner side of the shore.

Seahorse Douluo was standing on a flat reef not far from the shore, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He was on his routine patrol, but when he saw Xiaobai rushing out of the sea, his brows furrowed slightly.

Xiao Bai is usually calm and methodical, and would never return to the island in such a hurry.

Her current state was clearly not what one would expect upon returning from a normal patrol.

Seahorse Douluo's premonition faltered slightly for a moment. He turned around and walked towards Little White.

Xiaobai stopped in front of him, her breathing not yet fully steady, but when she spoke, her voice had regained its clarity and decisiveness:

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is moving towards Seagod Island. They are numerous and their route is well-defined. They are heading towards Seagod Island."

Seahorse Douluo's pupils contracted slightly. His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, acknowledging the weight of her words, before he nodded: "I understand."

Xiaobai didn't linger. She turned and walked towards the sea, her pace faster than when she came.

Her people are on their way here; they need a commander. She cannot stay here.

Seahorse Douluo didn't stop Xiaobai, but turned around and rushed towards the direction of Seagod Mountain.

At the same time, his senses continued to extend outward as he traveled, confirming the distribution of defensive forces throughout Poseidon Island.

The Soul Masters assigned to various directions were clearly unaware of the impending attack and continued their daily patrols.

Seahorse Douluo quickened his pace as he entered the path hidden by ancient trees at the foot of Poseidon Mountain. He then passed through the corridor, stopped in front of the palace door, and knocked on the door knocker.

Poseidon's voice came from inside the hall, steady and clear: "Come in."

Seahorse Douluo pushed open the door and entered the hall.

Poseidon stood in front of the huge stone window, her long, sea-blue hair swaying gently in the breeze that swept through the hall.

She didn't turn around, but her posture showed that she was waiting for news from him.

Seahorse Douluo stopped a few steps away from her: "High Priest, Little White has brought news. The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is moving towards Seagod Island. They are numerous and their route is clear. They are coming towards us."

Poseidon's fingers tightened slightly on the scepter, then loosened.

She turned around, her deep, ocean-like eyes churning with incredibly complex emotions, like the surface of the sea being stirred by the wind, but her voice remained steady when she spoke.

"Pass down the order to summon all the guardians of the sacred pillars to the Sea God Temple. At the same time, notify all Soul Masters on the island to enter a state of high alert and prepare for defense."

Seahorse Douluo responded and quickly retreated outside the hall, his hurried footsteps fading into the distance.

Poseidon stood alone before the stone window, her gaze fixed on the distant blue sea illuminated by the afternoon sun. Her voice was so soft it was almost a whisper: "They're here."

Over the next hour, all parts of Poseidon Island were mobilized at an extremely rapid pace.

The seven guardians of the sacred pillars arrived at the Temple of Poseidon one after another. Each of them wore the same expression as they stepped into the temple, conveying a sense of tension that required them to quickly assess the situation.

When the Sea Witch Douluo arrived, she still carried the aura of someone who had rushed from Sea Witch City. Her gaze lingered on Poseidon's face for a moment: "The news has been confirmed?"

“It’s confirmed,” Poseidon said. “The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is leading his army of sea spirit beasts toward Seagod Island.”

Seahorse Douluo stood on one side of the hall and continued, "Xiao Bai has returned to the sea, and she and her clan will intercept us in the waters surrounding Seagod Island."

The hall was silent for a moment, then Poseidon's voice rang out again: "Sea Ghost Douluo."

A figure emerged silently from the shadows beside the hall, moving as fast as a ripple on water.

He was a slender man whose face was somewhat blurred in the unique blue light of Poseidon Island, but his steps were as light as water droplets sliding across stone slabs.

"Go to the location of the Great White Shark Swarm as quickly as possible and inform Little White to lead her swarm to retreat to the vicinity of Seagod Island. Do not engage the main force of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan alone on the outskirts."

Her task was to coordinate with the defensive barrier to contain the enemy, not to engage in a direct confrontation in open waters.

Sea Ghost Douluo didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and then his figure flickered and disappeared into the light outside the hall. His speed was so fast that even the flow of air was hardly disturbed by him.

Poseidon turned around again, her gaze falling on the remaining six pillar guardians.

"Everyone else, return to the Holy Pillar Altar and stabilize the defensive barrier. From this moment on, the entire Seagod Island will be in full defensive mode. No one may engage in battle without permission. This is the Seagod's territory, and we will not allow any being to set foot here easily."

The six guardians of the sacred pillars responded in unison, turned around, and quickly walked out of the Temple of Poseidon.

The footsteps on the stone steps outside the hall gradually thinned out, each heading towards the sacred pillar they were guarding.

The afternoon sun reflected off the sea, creating shimmering spots that made the coastline of Poseidon Island look like a long line edged with gold.

Beneath the surface, the army of the Deep Sea Demon Whales is advancing towards Seagod Island on an undeniable scale.

Those colossal creatures were arranged in a loose formation in the deep sea. Their massive bodies, as large as sunken mountains, carried a steady, unstoppable rhythm. Each swipe of their tail fins caused the seawater for miles around to surge.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, located within it, also sensed the energy fluctuations that were being activated in the sea area in front of Poseidon Island, those things that were gradually rising like a barrier.

He shook his head and did not accelerate again.

He wasn't in a hurry; mortal power couldn't stop the divine.

Meanwhile, in the waters surrounding Poseidon Island, Little White was hovering in front of a defensive line composed of dozens of Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Her silver-white scales gleamed coldly in the water, and her spiritual power spread forward like invisible tentacles, sensing the approaching presences.

She did not rush forward, nor did she allow her tribe to charge rashly; instead, she maintained a calm and patient posture.

Her gaze fell on the enormous shadows that were getting closer and closer, like a tightening line that was gradually closing the distance between her and her prey.

When the leading deep-sea whales came into view, Xiaobai finally reacted. She swayed her tail slightly, releasing a clear signal that could only be identified by members of her tribe.

Retreat according to your respective groups, maintain formation, do not launch an attack, but be ready to turn around and harass and contain from the flanks at any time.

She remembered the order brought by Sea Ghost Douluo: retreat to the waters of Seagod Island, coordinate with the defensive barrier to contain the enemy, and do not engage in a direct confrontation with the main force alone.

After the signal was given, Xiaobai's tribe began to move in an orderly manner.

They remained calm and undeterred, retreating in their pre-arranged groups while maintaining eye contact with the approaching deep-sea whales, like a fist slowly retracting its edge, waiting for the right moment to strike.

And on the highest reef on the coastline of Poseidon Island, Poseidon was already standing.

Her long, azure hair swayed gently in the sea breeze, and her deep blue gown shimmered like flowing seawater in the afternoon sunlight. In her hand, she held a golden trident scepter.

Her gaze fell on the area of ​​the sea that was being approached by the deep-sea demon whale clan, sensing the ever-closer presence of them.

She could sense the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at the very front of the group, carrying a sense of oppression as stable as the seabed itself.

It was a power that shared the same origin as the power of the sea god but was fundamentally different, enveloping a will that had not been forgotten ten thousand years ago, and was steadily advancing in the direction she was in.

On the distant sea, the guardians of the sacred pillars, including Seahorse Douluo, Sea Witch Douluo, Starfish Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Ghost Douluo, stood in front of their respective sacred pillars.

The army of sea spirit beasts, led by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, advanced in an orderly and slow manner beneath the surface of the sea. Their figures appeared and disappeared beneath the water, like the earth covered by a moving dark film.
