Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 573 The Deep Sea Demon Whale King Possessing a Treasure
In the Devil's Sea.

"You hit my daughter and you want to run away. There is no such thing as a good thing in this world. No matter where you run to, I will tear you to pieces."

The Demon Emperor's huge body slammed heavily on the sea. He roared towards the sky, his cold voice full of murderous intent.

God knows she was sober for a while, and she saw her daughter being chased by a sea soul beast. How could she bear it! She must kill the octopus-headed monster.

After falling to the sea, the Demon King's mental power emanated and he instantly discovered Augustus' location.

At this moment, Augustus was looking at her calmly. Behind him was Leviathan, which was dozens of times larger than her.

“……”Demon Emperor.

Could anyone tell her what this huge, ugly creature was? Could it exist in the ocean?

……

The time goes back to a few hours ago, in Douluo Continent, the Far North, the Arctic Ocean.

The sea water was like boiling water, constantly rolling and surging. A deep-sea demon whale king, about two hundred meters long, was running desperately for his life. Its speed was so fast that it brought up streaks of white water, like an arrow shot from a bow.

While escaping, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared behind him: "If you dare to catch up with me again, don't blame me for being rude."

The body of this deep-sea demon whale king has reached an astonishing length of two hundred meters, and the aura it emanates is also extremely powerful.

Judging by the standards of soul beasts, the cultivation of this deep-sea demon whale king has probably reached the level of a ferocious beast of 200,000. In this vast ocean, it can be regarded as a hegemon.

So, what on earth could chase the overlord of the sea and make it flee everywhere, making it so embarrassed?

"Hmph, hand over the treasures on you to me, then I might consider sparing your life." A hoarse but extremely bewitching voice suddenly sounded, breaking the noise in the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a huge human-shaped silhouette slowly emerged from behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

It has an octopus head, a human body, a pair of huge wings growing on its back, and a layer of strange scales covering its body. Just from its appearance, it is enough to make people shudder and conclude that it is definitely not a good creature.

"What kind of monster is this? Is there really such an ugly soul beast in the ocean? It doesn't look like a human, and it doesn't look like a fish either."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King secretly complained, his heart was full of helplessness and confusion. He was just hovering normally in the waters of the Far North, but he was inexplicably attacked by this monster. It was really unlucky.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said in a cold voice: "I don't have any treasures on me at all. Are you mistaken?"

Augustus sneered and said, "Don't I know whether there is a treasure or not? If you really don't have any treasure, why are you running?"

"I'm running away because of your horrible appearance! Which soul beast would be foolish enough to approach such a weird thing like you?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King muttered to himself, with a hint of disgust in his voice.

However, if we talk about the treasure on it, could it be the whale pearl left by its father?

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's heart moved, and his body subconsciously tensed up. He immediately swung his tail again, trying his best to speed away from the monster, and then said in a cold voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude next time."

It was not a warlike person, especially when facing a guy as ugly, terrifying and powerful as Augustus, it was really unwilling to fight him easily.

But this does not mean that it is really afraid of the other party, it just instinctively wants to avoid this unexpected disaster.

"Huh, there really is something good."

A greedy and fiery light flashed in Augustus' eyes, which was completely different from Leviathan's development path.

Leviathan has been focusing on the ultimate improvement of its devouring ability from the beginning to the end. Its digestion and absorption rate is beyond imagination and has now reached an astonishing level.

Even land islands can be easily taken into its stomach like food, turning into nutrients for its own growth.

At this moment, Leviathan's cultivation level has achieved a leap-forward increase by devouring the massive sea soul beasts near the Devil Island and the small islands containing destructive energy. It has now steadily reached 800,000 years of cultivation.

If it continues to devour all the remaining islands, it will only be a matter of time before it breaks through to 900,000 years of cultivation.

After all, those small islands have been permeated with destructive energy all year round. Even if the destructive energy contained in them cannot be compared with the Stone of Destruction, it is still a great tonic for soul beasts like Leviathan that feed on devouring.

Augustus, on the other hand, took a path of plundering various abilities and bloodlines. As long as it could enhance its own strength or was an ability it considered interesting, it would devour and absorb it by any means necessary. For this purpose, it slaughtered countless sea soul beasts.

No matter whether it is a weak soul beast or a powerful being, as long as its ability is noticed by Augustus, it will inevitably be swallowed and become nutrients for it to improve its strength.

The reason why Augustus could keenly sense that there were treasures on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was because it had once devoured a special shellfish soul beast called the Wanbao Clam.

This treasure clam is born with an extremely strong treasure-hunting talent, as if it is a treasure detector in the ocean.

After Augustus swallowed the Treasure Clam, he inherited this magical ability and was able to sense the existence of the mysterious treasure on the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Although it did not know what the treasure was, its instinct drove it to firmly believe that it was definitely a rare treasure. Once it was swallowed, its own cultivation would surely usher in a qualitative leap and improvement.

Moreover, this deep-sea demon whale king itself is an extremely tempting piece of "fat meat". If Augustus can successfully devour its 200,000 years of profound cultivation, he will have full confidence in breaking through to the 300,000 years of cultivation realm.

At this time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in front saw that he could not get rid of Augustus, but was gradually getting closer to him. The anxiety and anger in his heart became more and more intense. Finally, he could no longer bear it and decided not to run away, but to fight back.

"Stay away from me, you ugly bastard."

A powerful vortex of soul power suddenly erupted from the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. A deep black light suddenly burst out from its body like a black hole.

However, this is not pure darkness. Upon closer inspection, it is actually a mysterious deep blue.

At the deep blue core, a strange spiritual wave slowly radiated like ripples. Some fish soul beasts that approached were instantly enveloped by this spiritual wave. In a moment, they rolled their eyes and lost their vitality. The Demon Whale Realm! And the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm!

"Is it also a devouring ability?"

Augustus watched this scene with great interest. His mental strength had also reached the spiritual realm. Therefore, although the magic whale domain had some influence on him, the effect was not significant.

On the contrary, Augustus became more and more interested in this deep-sea demon whale king. The fish soul beasts covered by the demon whale domain seemed unchanged in appearance, but Augustus keenly noticed that they no longer had any vitality.

The black hole-like magic whale field devoured the spiritual waves generated by their weak life energy, causing their vitality to fall into chaos. Although they seemed to be fine, their lives had actually been quietly deprived, their internal functions were disordered, and they could only wait for death to come.

Immediately afterwards, in the center of the black hole, a huge fish tail swung down like a black battle axe, and a huge vortex formed instantly, carrying endless sea water and powerful force, rushing towards Augustus.

Seeing this, Augustus did not dodge but chose to take the attack head-on.

"The power of the whirlpool?"

Augustus was enveloped by the vortex and instantly felt that this was no ordinary water vortex. It contained many small vortices rotating in different directions. These small vortices cut through like sharp blades, making a teeth-grinding metallic cutting sound.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The scales on Augustus' body made crisp sounds under the cutting of the vortex force, but he didn't care at all.

“But it’s still too weak.”

Augustus roared, and his soul power surged out like a volcanic eruption, instantly bursting the vortex force, turning it into countless splashes of water and dissipating around.

"Let me show you what true strength is."

Augustus raised his right paw, which was surrounded by golden light. This was the innate ability of the super soul beast: the Golden Crocodile King.

"Golden Rip!"

Augustus roared, and the golden light on his claws burst out like lightning, turning into a golden claw shadow, and swung fiercely towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Wherever the claw shadow passed, the sea water was split abruptly, forming a deep ravine.

Under the impact of the golden claw shadow, a huge hole was torn in the Demon Whale Territory almost instantly, revealing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Roar--"

Seeing the golden claw shadow coming towards him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared suddenly, and then an extremely strong aura burst out from it like a mountain torrent.

In an instant, everything around it seemed to be swallowed up by this powerful aura and became illusory. A total of three circles of purple waves rushed out from it, spreading outwards, forming a gorgeous and mysterious defense barrier.

The moment the golden claw shadow touched the purple wave, it seemed to fall into a quagmire, and was gradually weakened and blocked, and finally dissipated into nothingness.

Even Augustus was affected by the purple wave. His body involuntarily became sluggish and his movements became slow.

After releasing the purple wave, the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King became significantly weaker. It was obvious that this move consumed a lot of its soul power. It looked at Augustus deeply, a trace of determination flashed in its eyes, and then turned around and fled without looking back.

"This guy!" Augustus couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then his interest increased greatly.

The final outburst of the deep-sea demon whale king made it very curious, and it also discovered an interesting fact.

This deep-sea demon whale king seemed to have very little combat experience. The last purple wave should have been its trump card or a deadly move, but it used it without hesitation.

After this trick worked, Augustus was controlled for a short time. This was a perfect opportunity for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to counterattack, but it did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but chose to escape instead. This is really incredible.

Even if it took advantage of the situation to attack, Augustus had ways to defend himself, but this did not prevent Augustus from discovering a fact, that is, this deep-sea demon whale king was a complete soft persimmon!
"Anyone who can cultivate into a fierce beast must have emerged from the fights among many soul beasts. But this fellow has so little combat experience, and there is a pure aura emanating from his body. He doesn't look like a soul beast that has experienced brutal battles. So there are only two possibilities."

"First, there is someone behind it. There are powerful beasts protecting it, which is why it can grow into a ferocious beast so smoothly."

"The second reason is that the treasure on its body gave it energy. It is similar to the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which relied on absorbing the energy of the treasure to forcibly upgrade to a fierce beast. However, the difference is that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is a useless waste with no fighting power, while it is a powerful deep-sea demon whale."

Compared to the first possibility, Augustus was more inclined to the second one. After all, if there really was a powerful protector behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, how could he watch it being hunted down by himself and remain indifferent?

Moreover, the deep-sea demon whale is neither an imperial auspicious beast nor an auspicious beast like the golden hawksbill turtle. It is hard to imagine that there would be a soul beast willing to act as its guardian.

"If a deep-sea demon whale can break through to the level of a fierce beast, the value of that treasure is absolutely inestimable. If we can get it, it will be a great thing for both me and Leviathan."

There were blazing flames in Augustus' eyes. It turned out to be the right choice to devour the Wanbao Clam. Now he had found an opportunity for it.

"We must not let it get away." Augustus flapped his wings behind him violently, and a powerful thrust suddenly burst out, making him rush in the direction of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like an arrow.

"Leave the treasure and I'll spare your life."

Augustus' speed soared to the extreme, and he caught up with the deep-sea demon whale king in front of him in an instant, scaring the other party so much that it swung its tail desperately again and swam hastily in a secret direction.

"Stubborn! Ten thousand feathers and flying scales."

Augustus snorted coldly, and swung the wings behind him violently. A large number of scaly feathers attacked the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in front of him like dense hidden weapons. This was the ability it gained after devouring the soul beast: Devil's Sword.

Seeing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not hesitate to use purple waves again to try to block this wave of attacks.

"It's useless." Black waves also burst out from Augustus' body, colliding with the purple waves of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and actually offsetting them.

Augustus has absolute confidence in his control over the water element and has never been afraid of anyone.
