Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King left, Yang Ping'an followed his instructions and sat on the Golden Dragon to begin flying.

Because the ocean is vast and the distance is tens of thousands of kilometers, even a slight difference in angle could lead to vastly different results.

This time, it took a full four days, and they even had to constantly adjust their course according to the sun along the way, before finally arriving at the Devil's Sea area that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had described.

If the Demon Whale Sea is devoid of other sea spirit beasts due to the presence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, then the Devil Sea is somewhat similar, even having fewer sea spirit beasts.

Especially in this Devil's Sea, even though Yang Ping'an pushed his soul power perception to its limit, he still couldn't sense the specific depth of the Devil's Sea, which was as unfathomable as an abyss.

Yang Ping'an only thought for a moment before retracting the golden dragon into his body and leaping directly into the deep sea.

Although Yang Ping'an did not sense any information about the illusory sea serpent, this sea area was clearly not simple. It was definitely the territory of an extremely powerful soul beast, otherwise the sea surface would not be so calm, and the sea would not be so full of murderous intent.

However, Yang Ping'an is now highly skilled and daring, and plans to directly enter the sea to observe and search.

As Yang Ping'an dived deeper and deeper, the pressure on him seemed to increase. This Devil's Sea was indeed much deeper than other seas, seemingly boundless. Especially after entering the deep sea thousands of meters below the surface, there was no light around, and he felt as if he were in complete darkness.

Yang Ping'an not only felt immense pressure from the water pressure in the deep sea, but even his senses were greatly affected, as if he were in boundless darkness, seemingly without any hope.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to have a sudden realization. No wonder the Body Sect in later generations used the method of deep sea pressure to awaken the Body Martial Soul for the second time. This was not only a test of the body, but also a test of one's mentality, and even a test of the courage and determination of a Soul Master to become stronger, and a test of the Soul Master's limit of breaking through life and death.

But this meant nothing to Yang Ping'an. His main purpose in coming here was to find the Phantom Sea Serpent, which was a legendary soul beast.

Just then, Yang Ping'an's brow seemed to tremble, as if the Grim Reaper's Scythe was giving a warning, or as if the Grim Reaper's Scythe had acknowledged something. This phenomenon had only occurred when he encountered Di Tian and the Evil Emperor.

Yang Ping'an raised his senses to the limit and indeed there was a faint killing intent around him, but he couldn't sense where it came from. Clearly, the illusory sea serpent was nearby and might even be preparing to attack him.

Just then, a strange movement seemed to come from the space, as if some kind of ferocious beast had suddenly appeared and pounced directly on Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side with all his might. His whole body immediately emitted a golden light, and the Golden Dragon Martial Soul appeared in the sea, displaying five black and red soul rings. The originally dark seabed seemed to be completely dyed gold because of the appearance of the Golden Dragon.

A very long black sea serpent appeared in the deep sea. Its entire body was covered with scales, and it had two horns growing from its head. It was over 120 meters long and even more than 10 meters in diameter. It was definitely a soul beast that was far beyond the 100,000-year level.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an also became a little serious. Judging from the appearance of the soul beast in front of him, it should be a phantom sea serpent, and its age should be over 500,000 years. It is definitely the most powerful existence among soul beasts.

Especially if a soul beast's age exceeds 500,000 years, it is basically equivalent to the soul power of a human at the limit of Douluo level. Judging from the age of this illusory sea serpent, it is probably no weaker than the Abyss Bone Dragon and the Bear King.

Yang Ping'an was filled with excitement. He had finally found a suitable soul beast, and a top-tier one at that. He absolutely couldn't miss it.

In an instant, Yang Ping'an's entire body transformed into a dragon, radiating a golden light that was incredibly dazzling.

Then, he rushed forward, his hands like claws, and grabbed the huge, illusory sea serpent.

Unexpectedly, the illusory sea serpent neither dodged nor avoided, but instead transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Yang Ping'an. The darkness of the entire seabed began to fluctuate slightly, suggesting that the illusory sea serpent also possessed the attribute of extreme darkness.

With Yang Ping'an's full force, his five claws gripped as if they were on a solid block of iron, and even the entire seabed seemed to be torn apart.

But the illusory sea serpent in front of him seemed completely unafraid, letting out a strange hiss. Its entire body, like a bolt of lightning, transformed into a ball, as if trying to envelop Yang Ping'an's entire body, since the two were far apart in size.

In particular, Yang Ping'an felt that the illusory sea serpent seemed to be emanating endless coiling power, and its huge head appeared unusually agile, with a pair of sharp teeth that seemed about to bite Yang Ping'an's arm.

Yang Ping'an had fought many demonic soul beasts, but he had never seen any soul beast with better combat skills than this illusory sea serpent. Its reaction speed was as fast as lightning.

With a cold snort, Yang Ping suddenly produced five steel claws on his right hand. These were golden dragon claws that had evolved over 100,000 years. The blades of the golden dragon claws were extremely sharp, making them the nemesis of this kind of powerfully defensive soul beast.

Yang Ping'an and the illusory sea serpent transformed into golden and black beams of light, relentlessly trying to attack each other, causing the entire ocean to tremble.

After nearly ten minutes, neither side seemed to have any advantage. After all, this was the deep sea, the home ground of the illusory sea serpents, and even Yang Ping'an's strength was suppressed by the deep sea.

Suddenly, Yang Ping'an's right arm bone flashed with soul power, and he instantly appeared in front of the illusory sea serpent. He used all his strength to grab it with his claw, which was the attack skill of the Golden Dragon Claw: Heaven-Tearing Strike. Especially after the Golden Dragon Claw evolved to 100,000 years, its power seemed to have been qualitatively improved, as if it could tear everything apart.

Unexpectedly, the illusory sea serpent seemed to understand the power of Yang Ping'an's move. Its entire body suddenly emitted endless black light, as if it wanted to merge with the darkness. Its figure seemed to disappear rapidly and eventually turn into nothingness.

Even though Yang Ping'an's move was unexpected, it was still dodged by the illusory sea serpent. Yang Ping'an was also surprised. Normally, even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would not be able to dodge his attack, but it was easily neutralized by the illusory sea serpent.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but admire it. Although this illusory sea serpent was much weaker than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, its ability to appear both real and illusory made it even more difficult to kill than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

But this only fueled Yang Ping'an's fighting spirit, and he burst into a wild laugh. He knew that the more powerful a soul beast was, the more powerful its soul skills would be. The illusory sea serpent in front of him was so outstanding that it could definitely give him an extremely powerful soul skill.

Yang Ping'an immediately used his ninth soul skill: Golden Dragon Overlord Body, his entire body became incredibly majestic, and even his eyes revealed a hint of ferocity. This was the territory of the Illusory Sea Serpent, and he couldn't let him escape under any circumstances, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

Although the illusory sea serpent in front of him could turn into nothingness to evade his attacks, it was still a living being after all, and soon transformed back into his original form.

Moreover, this illusory sea serpent seemed extremely ferocious. Even with the strength Yang Ping'an displayed, it transformed into a black shadow and attacked. In just an instant, Yang Ping'an felt as if his entire figure was enveloped by the giant serpent, and he seemed to be subtly eroded by darkness.

However, Yang Ping'an couldn't care less and swiped again. This time, although the illusory sea serpent didn't vanish into nothingness, its huge tail swung over, and there seemed to be a binding force in the shadows.

In just a moment, Yang Ping'an's entire body seemed to be entangled by the giant snake, and his body seemed to be filled with boundless power, as if all the bones in his body were about to be crushed.

But Yang Ping'an just smiled and said, "Fine, very well. Since you dare to pester me, I wonder if you can still achieve the ethereal form at a time like this?"

Yang Ping'an's left hand flashed, and a giant golden Titan serpent seemed to appear in the deep sea. It was faintly coiling around the giant illusory sea serpent, seemingly capable of crushing the enemy as well. This was Yang Ping'an's left arm soul bone skill two, Titan Golden Annihilation.

The illusory sea serpent seemed to understand the power of Yang Ping'an's move, and its entire body seemed to turn dark again, as if it wanted to use the illusory ability again.

Just then, Yang Ping'an grabbed the illusory sea serpent's body tightly with his hands like claws, and squeezed it with all his might. The sound of bones breaking could be heard coming from the illusory sea serpent, as if he was about to tear it in two.

The illusory sea serpent seemed to be in pain, and disregarding the excruciating pain, it transformed into a dark aura, forcibly etherealizing its body.

In particular, a strange image came to Yang Ping'an's mind, as if a giant snake was coiling towards him, seemingly heading straight for his spiritual sea.

Yang Ping'an let out a cold snort, and the entire space seemed to shatter. His mind instantly returned to normal, but the illusory sea serpent took the opportunity to dodge his attack.

"This is quite interesting. I didn't expect it to be able to use mental attacks. Even a top-tier Title Douluo would probably be easily affected. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier soul beast."

It should be noted that the only ones who could make Yang Ping'an feel threatened by mental attacks were the Evil Emperor and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Unexpectedly, this illusory sea serpent in front of him was actually a mental-type soul beast. Especially in terms of attack, it was probably stronger than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and even only slightly inferior to the Evil Emperor.

The Evil Emperor is known as the soul beast with the strongest spiritual power in the Douluo Continent, and it can even be said to be the creature with the strongest spiritual power, which shows how powerful this illusory sea serpent is.

Moreover, Yang Ping'an deliberately allowed himself to be entangled by the illusory sea serpent in order to seize his physical form, but the illusory sea serpent's reaction speed and strength were beyond imagination.

Yang Ping'an roared, "Since you want to play with mental power, then I'll play along with you."

As Yang Ping'an finished speaking, the head soul bone instantly appeared. The entire deep sea seemed to be suppressed by a strange spiritual force. It was the spiritual pressure that Yang Ping'an exerted after using the head soul bone. In terms of spiritual power, Yang Ping'an had reached the level of level 100, which was incomparable to any Limit Douluo in the Douluo Continent.

But the illusory sea serpent in front of it seemed unwilling to have its spiritual power suppressed. Its eyes emitted a black beam of light, which seemed to split the entire seabed in two, and the entire space seemed to be completely frozen.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about that. His entire body instantly turned black, and three red, one black, and three red spirit rings appeared at the same time. His sixth spirit ring flashed, and the entire space seemed to be enveloped by a huge spatial bone dragon. Right in the center was the first of the sixth spirit ring of his main body: Bone Prison.

Neither the illusory sea serpent nor the black light seemed to be able to resist within the Bone Prison. The black light pillar disappeared without a trace, and even the illusory sea serpent's true form seemed to be suppressed by the Bone Prison and could no longer become ethereal.

Yang Ping'an seized the opportunity and with a powerful tear from his golden dragon claw, the entire illusory sea serpent was cut in half.

Seeing that the illusory sea serpent seemed to have been hit hard, Yang Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. The illusory sea serpent in front of him was indeed dangerous enough.

But at that moment, the illusory sea serpent's body suddenly underwent a strange change. Previously, its aura seemed to have plummeted due to being severed, but now both sections of its body simultaneously vanished into nothingness. Finally, all the black energy coalesced, and before Yang Ping'an could react, the illusory sea serpent had already appeared outside the Bone Prison. (End of Chapter)
