Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 166 The Eighth Trial of the Underworld Emperor Completed, The Tribulations of the Demon Soul Great White Shark

[The eighth test of the Underworld Emperor: the creation of the Blood Sea in the Underworld is complete.]

[Divine Test Reward 1: Soul Power increased by three levels.]

[Divine Trial Reward Two: All Soul Rings' age increased by 200,000 years.]

[Divine Trial Reward Three: A divinely bestowed soul bone, a right leg bone.]

[Divine Test Reward Four: One Divine Soul Ring.]

Shortly after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King entered the Blood Sea and quelled the Blood Sea turmoil, the notification that the Divine Trial was completed followed.

Ning Qiuyang's current soul power is level 84. After his soul power increases by three levels, it will reach level 87. If he absorbs the divinely bestowed soul bone and the soul ring's age increases, he can break through level 90 and successfully absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring.

While Ning Qiuyang was in seclusion cultivating, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King returned to the outside world from the Blood Sea, bringing with him many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts from the ocean.

The disappearance of a large number of sea spirit beasts, especially high-level sea spirit beasts, has had a significant impact on the ocean.

The changes in the ocean are not very obvious to outsiders, but for the Demon Soul Great White Shark, who is also a marine spirit beast and has submitted to Seagod Island, they are not so secretive.

After telling its discovery to Poseidon, the high priest of Poseidon Island, it was ordered to investigate the truth of the matter and find out whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was slaughtering the ocean spirit beasts.

“But I am no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King,” said Little White Demon Soul Great White Shark.

If it weren't for the island of Poseidon behind it, it and its kind would have been wiped out countless times by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"It's not like you're going to fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. You just need to find out the truth."

"Oh, that's alright."

After receiving his orders, Xiaobai prepared to lead his men deep into the ocean to gather information, but just as he was about to leave, Poseidon added a comment.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is one of the divine tests that the Sea God has prepared for his successor, and it is also a reward. Recently, the Sea God has conveyed a divine message that I will be leaving Sea God Island soon. You must quickly find out the unusual movements of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that it was related to the sea god, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, which had been listless, immediately perked up.

After leaving Poseidon Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark led its people toward the Demon Whale Sea.

Along the way, Xiaobai encountered many sea spirit beasts, but there wasn't even a single one that was ten thousand years old.

At first, it didn't pay much attention, after all, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan also needed to eat, and other marine creatures, whether ordinary animals or sea spirit beasts, were their hunting targets.

It's not impossible that a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast could sense their presence and dodge in advance.

However, it seemed a bit abnormal that they hadn't encountered a single soul beast over ten thousand years old even when they were almost at the Demon Whale Sea.

"Catch it."

Suddenly, Xiao Bai spotted a 30,000-year-old octopus monster swimming rapidly toward the Demon Whale Sea and immediately ordered his underlings to give chase.

After a friendly and cordial exchange, Xiaobai finally got the answer he wanted from the octopus monster.

"As expected, it was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who caused this trouble."

Upon learning that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was frantically recruiting ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and that none of those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were able to leave after entering the Demon Whale Sea, Xiao Bai was both surprised and felt that it was indeed the case.

"With so many sea spirit beasts that are over ten thousand years old, could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King be so desperate to become a god that he's planning to resort to some evil and bloody means?"

Xiaobai is a little scared.

After all, its strength is far inferior to that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and this Demon Whale Sea is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lair. If it rashly ventures in, it will be in big trouble if it is discovered by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

After hesitating for a while, Xiaobai slapped the octopus spirit beast with its tail.

"Go and gather information for me. If you find anything, come back and tell me immediately. This is the Sea God's order. If you dare to disobey, I'll devour you."

The octopus was caught off guard, and shot into the Demon Whale's sea like a bullet.

After waiting for a while, Xiaobai became a little impatient. "What a waste, it's been so long and it still hasn't come out."

Returning home without finding out anything left Xiaobai feeling resentful and ashamed.

In the end, it decided to go in and take a look.

It had powerful backers, the protection of the Sea God, and it believed it would escape unscathed.

"Why is there not a single soul beast in the Demon Whale Sea?"

After leading his minions of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan into the Demon Whale Sea with trepidation, Little White was extremely cautious the whole way, fearing that he would be discovered.

But along the way, they hadn't encountered a single soul beast.

This is the Demon Whale Sea. It would be fine if there were no other soul beasts, but it's strange that the soul beasts of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan have all disappeared.

Is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King really that insane? Is it even willing to devour the bloodline of its own kind?

Xiao Bai made all sorts of terrifying guesses.

"Let's go, let's go."

As they ventured deeper into the Demon Whale Sea, they still couldn't detect any trace of soul beasts. Even the octopus that had just entered had disappeared, and Xiaobai felt increasingly uncertain.

Although it still found nothing, it dared not go any deeper.

With a flick of its tail, Little White was about to lead its people away from this place.

"You traitorous soul beast, where are you trying to run off to?"

As soon as it turned around, it heard the voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"

Xiao Bai looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that the surrounding seawater had turned blood red at some point, while the seawater around it remained the normal color.

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you really slaughtered soul beasts indiscriminately in order to become a god, even staining the entire sea red. How many sea soul beasts have you killed?"

Xiao Bai was both scared and angry, but still forced himself to criticize.

"I slaughtered sea spirit beasts indiscriminately? What nonsense are you spouting? Look at who they are!"

As the sound grew closer, Xiaobai spotted the approaching figure of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and at the same time, it also saw many sea spirit beasts gathering around it.

These sea spirit beasts are mostly over 50,000 years old, and there are even several that are over 100,000 years old.

“This lackey of the sea god says I will kill you all. Tell me, are you afraid?”

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shouted loudly to the numerous soul beasts.

"Lord Demon Whale King has given us such a bright future, we are so grateful to you, why would we be afraid?"

A 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast answered.

"Who can take the words of the sea god's lackeys seriously?"

"Today we will make this lackey of the sea god pay the price, to vent our anger at being oppressed by that bastard sea god for so many years."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wasn't the only soul beast dissatisfied with the Sea God; it's just that the other soul beasts had only dared to think about it in the past but dared not speak out.

However, they had never shown such respect and submission to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King before.

After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is powerful and has a bad temper; other soul beasts are terrified of it.

Many soul beasts came to the Demon Whale Sea with trepidation after being summoned by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

As a result, they were taken to the Blood Sea by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and only then did they realize that there was such a plane that could accommodate them, the soul beasts, and that they didn't have to worry about the heavenly tribulation.
