Douluo: The Legend of the Dragon King: Throne of the Void.

Chapter 256 The King Descends from the Sky, Fierce and Furious

It would take about two and a half months to sail from Douluo Continent to Star Luo Continent. This is even if we travel on the most advanced ocean liner currently available.

According to the records of the Body Sect, those who can withstand this cultivation method and whose awakening time is long are generally beings with extremely powerful martial souls. The later the second awakening of a martial soul, the greater its potential.

However, forty-nine stimulations of potential is the limit. If one fails to awaken after reaching this limit, it means that the martial soul itself does not possess any ancient bloodline or genes and belongs to the extremely rare category.

It was another evening, and Yu Nanyuan sat alone in the lounge at the stern of the ship, looking out the window at the blood-red sunset.

To make it easier to meet Makino, he would come here early after dinner each time.

"Today is the forty-ninth day." Yu Nanyuan withdrew his gaze and murmured softly.

To be honest, although he encountered many crises during the previous forty-eight days of training, he was never truly driven to the brink of despair. Mu Ye's confrontation with all sorts of bizarre sea spirit beasts was more about tempering his physical and mental abilities.

They experienced the high temperatures of an underwater volcano to temper their bodies, and also encountered the Sea Princess clan, who were skilled in mental illusions.

The Sea Princesses, also known as the Mermaid Clan, originally lived in the far north of the Douluo Continent, in the icy northern sea. They were among the few sea spirit beasts friendly to humans. In ancient times, they would often use their beautiful songs to guide lost merchant ships back to port.

However, as their habitat was increasingly exploited by humans, the Sea Princess lineage was forced to migrate out of the far north, and their attitude towards humans changed. Some extremists even used their songs to lure ships to the bottom of the sea, causing them to sink permanently as a form of revenge.

In human legends, beautiful and kind mermaids have now been demonized as vicious sea monsters that lead people astray.

For Yu Nanyuan, whose spiritual power has reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, it is natural that he would not so easily succumb to the spiritual illusion created by the Sea Princess.

Undeniably, his cultivation speed improved significantly in the past forty-eight days, and his soul power cultivation level naturally broke through to level fifty-seven.

Real combat is always the best way to unleash a Soul Master's potential, even if it doesn't necessarily mean going through life-or-death trials every time.

Just then, Yu Nanyuan suddenly stood up as if sensing something. His aura was deep and profound, the light in his eyes was restrained, and he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. All the trials of the past forty-eight days seemed to be the prelude to today.

"Are you ready?" Makino's voice sounded from behind.

Yu Nanyuan turned around and looked at Mu Ye, then nodded solemnly.

"Sect Leader Makino, is today the last day?"

"Success or failure hinges on this," Makino said in a deep voice.

"What you have to do today is the same as before, but the opponent you face this time is different. Even if your battle armor is fully functional, I can't guarantee you'll emerge unscathed. So, be prepared. Not only to meet the expectations of the Sky-Supporting Douluo, but also for your own sake."

The next moment, Mu Ye was once again carrying Yu Nanyuan, soaring through the clouds. After flying for a full half hour, making sure they were completely far away from the two cruise ships, he finally stopped.

Yu Nanyuan stood on the void chains, quietly floating in the air, looking around.

The moonlight was soft, and the calm sea surface shimmered with a faint silver glow, making it hard to associate this sea area with the danger that Makino had mentioned.

As if answering Yu Nanyuan's doubts, Mu Ye smiled faintly and flew into the higher sky.

A fierce aura suddenly swept out from his body, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and the light quickly dimmed. A blurry black shadow condensed above Makino's head, its head was particularly huge, and a pair of dark red eyes filled with violence and domineering, flickering like lanterns in the darkness.

"A demonic orca?" Yu Nanyuan stared intently, instantly recognizing the terrifying creature in the ocean. More precisely, this terrifying aura belonged to a demonic orca king with over 100,000 years of cultivation!
Mu Ye is not using the power of his own martial soul, but rather the soul bone skill from the 100,000-year-old Demonic Orca King.

Although the Body Sect has long since declined, its millennia-old heritage should not be underestimated.

A dark red light flashed in Muye's eyes, followed by eerie blood-red ripples that spread out and merged into the night, instantly enveloping an area of ​​tens of thousands of meters in the sea.

Yu Nanyuan immediately had a guess in his mind: using the Demon Orca King's ability would only attract their natural enemies.

"Demon Soul Great White Shark..."

In the distant sea, several silver scales appeared and disappeared, approaching this place at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the number of silver scales cutting through the sea surface increased from two or three at the beginning to dozens, and finally became densely packed, numbering at least hundreds.

"Roar—" The deep, angry roar was like a thunderclap.

A colossal figure slowly emerged from the water, its length exceeding twenty-five meters. Its silvery-white back resembled a small island, and massive silver shark fins stood erect, radiating a sharp, chilling aura. Its entire body was covered in menacing silver demonic patterns, and its terrifying presence seemed poised to rival even Mu Ye's.

It was none other than the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, with a cultivation of 100,000 years!

Yu Nanyuan took a deep breath, and now he finally understood the deeper meaning behind Mu Ye's previous words.

This time, his opponent was none other than the entire Great White Shark clan led by the King of Great White Sharks!
Given the formidable strength of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, any being with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years would pose a threat to it, let alone the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King, who is comparable to a Super Douluo.

Makino's calm voice rang out again, officially beginning the prologue.

"let's start."

Without much hesitation, Yu Nanyuan quickly calmed himself down. His clear, golden eyes were calm and still, filled only with unwavering determination. He bent his knees, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and deliberately swooped down towards the sea.

The Great White Shark is known as one of the three great predators of the ocean. Although its offensive and defensive capabilities are not as good as those of the Deep Sea Whale and the Demon Orca, its speed is its absolute advantage.

Yu Nanyuan descended from the sky, just as he was about to land in the middle of the oncoming group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

The entire Great White Shark clan utterly disregarded Yu Nanyuan; the only threat they felt came from Mu Ye. Mu Ye possessed an aura that they both loathed and enraged.

"Whoosh—" Dazzling silver light shone like stars, and countless void chains pierced through, weaving in the night sky behind Yu Nanyuan. He opened his arms and clenched his fists.

"Space, boundary, enclosure".

The silver barrier precisely restricted the movements of all the demon soul great white sharks with cultivation levels below ten thousand years. By the time the other demon soul great white sharks reacted, his body had already plummeted straight onto the sea surface, splashing up towering waves.

Yu Nanyuan's fists suddenly smashed cracks in the void, distorting the world around him, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
