Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 339 The Moonlit Illusionary Whale's Recognition

On the sea, dark purple clouds churned endlessly, and low rumbles of thunder boomed across the sky, as if setting the stage for this thrilling battle.

Zhang Lexuan's silver hair fluttered in the wind, and eight spirit rings slowly rotated around her. Each movement of the spirit rings seemed to contain a powerful and surging aura.

Faced with the terrifying pressure of the Moonlit Illusion Whale, which was as large as a mountain, her eyes remained firm, and she showed no intention of backing down.

With a clear shout, the eight spirit rings on Zhang Lexuan's body vibrated in unison, like eight dazzling stars shining in the night sky.

The seventh dark spirit ring suddenly lit up, radiating light.

Seventh Soul Skill: True Form of the Bright Moon!

With that sharp shout, a terrifying energy wave spread out from her center.

The illusory image of the moon behind her grew wildly in the wind, and the originally small moon suddenly hung high in the sky.

Even in broad daylight, the bright moonlight illuminates the entire sea area as if it were daytime.

However, when the full moon, with a diameter of over ten meters, appeared before the enormous body of the Moonwave Whale, it still seemed so small.

The Moon Whale is nearly 100 meters long, its body resembling a moving underwater mountain. Every breath it takes causes violent tremors in the seawater.

However, the oppressive aura emanating from that bright moon was in no way weaker than that of the Moonlit Illusionary Whale.

Moonlight spilled onto the sea, forming a silver carpet of light that complemented the ethereal blue glow emanating from the Moonlit Whale.

After the bright moon appeared, the spirit rings on Zhang Lexuan's body began to flash in succession. The brilliant moonlight poured down like the Milky Way, shooting straight down from the huge bright moon and enveloping the Moon Ripple Illusion Whale.

Although the Moon Whale was enormous and an easy target in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, it was not afraid at all.

Because this is its home ground, the vast and boundless sea!

With a deep whale-like cry, the immense soul power within the Moonlit Illusion Whale surged forth like a volcanic eruption.

Its massive tail fin swayed gently, instantly stirring up the seawater and creating towering, sky-covering waves.

The giant wave was tens of meters high, carrying the powerful soul force of the Moonlit Illusion Whale, and it stood like an impregnable wall, meeting the cascading moonlight head-on.

In this sea area, the Moon Whale's enormous size actually becomes its advantage.

With every move it makes, it can easily draw in tens of thousands of tons of seawater for its own use, fully demonstrating the majesty of the ocean overlord.

The two attacks collided with a deafening roar, and in an instant, a deafening boom erupted on the sea.

The dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, and the powerful energy aftershocks spread across the sea, forming terrifying ripples that sent seawater flying tens of meters high wherever they passed.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes were solemn as she continuously mobilized her soul power to maintain the operation of the Bright Moon True Body.

The Moonlit Whale, however, seemed to be handling the situation with ease, easily fending off Zhang Lexuan's attacks with the help of the ocean.

Before Zhang Lexuan could adjust her state, the Moon Whale suddenly exerted its power, its huge tail fin lashing out violently, like a giant axe chopping.

The deep blue moonlight merged perfectly with the seawater and soul power, transforming into countless sharp blades that shot towards the bright moon high in the sky with a shriek that tore through the air.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Zhang Lexuan was not afraid at all. The spirit rings on her body pulsed wildly, and countless moonlight blades were also formed to meet the attack.

"Boom boom boom!"

The attacks from both sides collided fiercely in mid-air, producing a series of loud explosions.

Each collision unleashed a powerful burst of energy, as if a series of dazzling energy fireworks had exploded in the sky above the sea.

Although Zhang Lexuan's tenacious will and exquisite control allowed her to fight the Moonlit Illusion Whale to a standstill, the Moonlit Illusion Whale, aided by the ocean, ultimately prevailed.

Those sharp blades broke through the defenses and rushed towards her.

Zhang Lexuan swiftly used her movement techniques to dodge nimbly on the sea surface, while continuously mobilizing her soul power for defense.

Although the Moonlit Whale had the upper hand, it was unable to press its advantage.

Because once she leaves this sea, her strength will be greatly reduced, and her advantages will disappear.

And so, a thrilling tug-of-war ensued between the man and the beast in the sea.

Both sides possess the power of soul cores, so there is no need to worry about excessive consumption of soul power; on the contrary, they become stronger as the battle progresses.

The battle intensified, and the energy fluctuations on the sea became increasingly terrifying, causing the seawater within a radius of several miles to boil.

In this fierce battle, Zhang Lexuan gained a deeper understanding of the Moonlit Illusion Whale's strength.

This 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast has a profound foundation. With the advantage of the sea, although she is unlikely to be defeated in a short time, it will not be easy for her to inflict effective damage on it.

The power of the Moonlit Illusion Whale was fully revealed in this battle.

Moonlit Whale was also surprised by Zhang Lexuan's strength.

Although Zhang Lexuan is only a quasi-titled Douluo and has not yet obtained her ninth spirit ring, the spirit core she has condensed and the foundation brought by her 100,000-year-old eighth spirit ring make her strength no less than that of an ordinary titled Douluo.

In the eyes of the Moonlit Whale, Zhang Lexuan was powerful enough to deserve its serious attention.

After a long and fierce battle, the Moonlit Illusion Whale suddenly stopped attacking. Its massive body hovered in the seawater, its eyes calmly looking at Zhang Lexuan, and it said in a nonchalant tone:
"If you can withstand my final move, I will become your spirit and serve you from now on."

Zhang Lexuan smiled spiritedly, her soul power surging around her, and the bright moon behind her shone even more brilliantly. She responded loudly, "Come on then!"

The massive body of the Moonwave Whale suddenly trembled violently, and the surging soul power within it surged wildly, plunging the entire sea area into a supernatural stillness.

The raging waves came to an abrupt halt, the splashing water droplets hovered in mid-air, and even the howling sea breeze seemed to freeze.

"The Moon Revolves—The Judgment of the Sea Moon!"

In the deep sea, a pale silver halo, like thousands of moonlight scales, burst forth from the massive body of the Moonwave Whale, spreading outwards in layers.

Each halo shimmered with a mysterious luster, like tiny round moons.

In an instant, an astonishing change occurred in the night sky above the sea.

The originally gloomy clouds were torn apart by an invisible force, and a virtual moon made of pure energy slowly took shape.

The moon disc radiates a soft yet profound silver light, and strange images of the Moon Whale swimming appear on its surface, winding and swirling as if they were alive.

Each line flows with a liquid silver-like luster, mysterious and magnificent.

The Moonlit Whale slowly raised its enormous head, gazing up at the energy moon disc in the sky.

The moment it opened its enormous mouth, seawater was drawn into it as if by an invisible whirlpool, forming a silver, swirling vortex tens of meters in diameter.

The seawater was constantly compressed and condensed in the whirlpool, emitting a piercing shriek.

Under the control of the Moon Whale, dozens of tangible beams of moonlight descended from the moon in the sky.

These beams of light were not ordinary rays, but liquid moonlight radiating a ghostly blue glow. Each beam was like a tangible blade, gleaming with a deadly chill. The moonlight beams were precisely injected into the whale's mouth, where they coalesced into a terrifying torrent of energy within her body.

When the moonlight energy reached its peak, the Moonlit Whale let out a deafening roar.

The whale's cry seemed to pierce through time and space, striking the depths of the soul.

Centered on it, the seawater exploded, forming a transparent water curtain ring with a diameter of 100 meters.

The light and shadow shifted within the water curtain. Above, a rapidly spinning moon wheel rune emanated a mysterious power, while below, the energy phantom of the Moonwave Whale itself appeared, vast and majestic.

Immediately afterwards, a giant beam of light, a mixture of moonlight and deep-sea blue, shot out from the whale's mouth.

The surface of the beam of light was wrapped with countless tiny blades of light, like seawater crystals cut by moonlight, shimmering with a chilling light that made one's heart tremble.

The beam of light did not travel straight forward, but instead drew a beautiful yet deadly crescent-shaped trajectory in the air. Wherever it passed, space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind distorted afterimages.

Faced with this terrifying blow that could destroy the world, a resolute glint flashed in Zhang Lexuan's silver eyes.

Her soul power surged wildly, and her 100,000-year soul ring suddenly erupted with a dazzling blood-red light.

The once bright moon instantly transformed into a blood moon, radiating an eerie and powerful aura.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Blood Moon Eclipse!"

With a sharp cry, the Blood Moon, carrying an indomitable momentum, crashed down from mid-air to meet the Moonlit Whale's Moon Judgment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Two world-destroying forces collided with a deafening roar, causing the entire world to tremble.

The terrifying aftershocks of energy spread wildly outwards from the point of impact, creating towering waves tens of meters high.

The sea area within a radius of tens of kilometers was violently shaken, and the seawater churned and rolled like boiling water.

Countless glowing fragments of the moon blade floated on the sea, like dreamlike fireflies.

These fragments of the moon blade emitted a soft light, yet contained terrifying power.

They floated in the air, forming a solid barrier that blocked part of the towering waves.

As time passed, the fragments of the moon blade gradually lost their luster, turning into a fine drizzle of light dust that merged into the seawater, leaving only a faint laurel fragrance in the air.

When everything finally calmed down, the enormous body of the Moonwave Whale slowly rose to the surface of the sea.

Surprisingly, the 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast appeared completely unharmed, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was nothing more than a game to it.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan stood quietly on the huge back of the Moonwave Whale.

Her hair was disheveled, her white dress was stained with blood, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

But her eyes remained bright, and her face wore a radiant smile, exuding a heroic and spirited air.

Zhou Sichen and Princess Hai, who were watching from a distance, both wore smiles of satisfaction.

The fact that Zhang Lexuan was able to stand on the back of the Moonlit Whale was enough to demonstrate the outcome of the battle.

The deep voice of the Moonlit Illusion Whale rang out: "Your strength is not weak. If you already possessed your ninth spirit ring, I might not be your match. In this battle, I have a slight advantage."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Thank you for showing mercy. I had already given my all in the final blow, but I was still one move short. Whale-type sea spirit beasts truly deserve to be called the overlords of the sea."

Her tone was filled with admiration, but even more so with respect for the strong.

Zhang Lexuan's "Blood Moon Eclipse," which she poured all her power into, was like a firefly crashing into the bright moon in the face of Yuelan Huanjing's "Sea Moon Judgment."

The giant pillar of light, a blend of moonlight and deep-sea blue, not only shattered the blood-red full moon, but also dissolved the dissipating energy shockwaves entirely with the silver aura flowing around the whale beast.

At this moment, the Moonlit Whale still maintains its elegant and composed posture, with not a single scale damaged.

Zhang Lexuan knew very well that her full-force attack, which mobilized her 100,000-year soul ring, had reached the level of a level 95 Super Douluo, and would be enough to severely injure even an ordinary Title Douluo.

However, it couldn't even break through the Moonlit Illusion Whale's defenses.

The sea breeze swept through her disheveled silver hair, carrying a salty scent as it brushed against her wounds. Although it was only a minor injury, it made her deeply aware of the insurmountable gap between a normal Soul Master and a 100,000-year-old sea Soul Beast.

But Zhang Lexuan did not show the slightest anger.

She lowered her eyes to look at the churning seawater below, a knowing glint in her eyes.

This vast and boundless sea is the home ground of the Moonwave Whale, where it has lived for 180,000 years.

Here, every drop of seawater is an aid to the whale, and every wave can be transformed into a weapon of attack.

With 180,000 years of cultivation and the unique advantage of the location, the Moonlit Illusion Whale's strength was brought to its fullest potential.

If it were any other level 90 quasi-titled Douluo, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand three moves from Yue Lan Huan Jing.

Not to mention her fierce battle with the whale beast for several rounds, even forcing it to use its full strength.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan straightened her back and a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

Although she lost the battle, she was still honorable, and her resilience and strength were clearly recognized by the Moonlit Whale.

The Moonlit Whale seemed to sense the change in the human's emotions on its back. Its massive body swayed gently, emitting a low hum, as if to soothe him.

"Your performance exceeded my expectations." His words carried a hint of appreciation.

"To be able to unleash a 100,000-year-old soul skill to such a level, even across the entire ocean, you are the most powerful human I have ever seen."

The Moonlit Whale swam slowly, stirring up tiny waves: "Once you recover, I will fulfill my promise and become your spirit. Following you, I may be able to see a world even wider than the ocean."

"I won't let you down," Zhang Lexuan replied firmly, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

Zhang Lexuan was naturally overjoyed to have gained the approval of the Moonlit Illusion Whale.

Through this battle, she has also come to understand the formidable strength of this future ally.

She signed a contract with the Moonlit Illusion Whale, which will greatly enhance both her strength and her foundation.

Although the 180,000-year-old sea spirit beast has not yet reached the level of a ferocious beast, the Moonwave Illusion Whale's strength is already quite formidable.

Furthermore, this Moonlit Illusion Whale is almost a perfect match for her Bright Moon Martial Soul, as both of them absorb moonlight to cultivate and become stronger.

This will undoubtedly greatly enhance Zhang Lexuan's martial soul strength, giving her a greater advantage in future attacks.

Furthermore, the Moonlit Illusion Whale is also proficient in Moonlit Illusion Techniques, which will greatly enhance Zhang Lexuan's control abilities in the future.
