Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"The Demon Emperor? The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife should still be in the Demon Whale Sea. I saw her at least several decades ago."

Di Tian, ​​flapping his enormous dragon wings, flew above the sea and spoke in a deep voice to Ye Qi'an on his back.

"Now that we've met, things are much easier. The Demon Emperor is the soul spirit candidate for my last soul ring. I believe she and the Sea God are sworn enemies. As long as I extend an olive branch, she will surely join our bandwagon." Ye Qi'an's eyes gleamed with confidence as the sea breeze whistled past, ruffling his hair.

Di Tian nodded slightly, his massive body slicing through the sky as he gave a deep reply: "Lord Golden Dragon King, do not underestimate the Demon Empress. Although she is driven by hatred, she is shrewd and may not agree easily."

Ye Qi'an smiled faintly: "It's alright, I have my own plan. First, we'll go to the Demon Whale Sea to investigate. If we can find the Demon Emperor's weakness or something she cares about, she won't have to worry about not cooperating with us. If this soul ring is successfully obtained, my strength will definitely reach a new level."

Di Tian said nothing more and accelerated his flight toward the Demon Whale Sea.

Beneath the turbulent sea, a powerful aura seemed to be slowly awakening, as if sensing the approaching uninvited guest. Meanwhile, Ye Qi'an, atop Di Tian's back, calmly and intently pondered strategies to deal with the Demon Emperor.

Half an hour later, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian's flying speed gradually slowed down. Without needing to be reminded, Ye Qi'an knew that they had approached the Demon Whale Sea and were only a short distance away from their destination.

"Alright, Di Tian, ​​that's enough for now. Leave the rest to me. Tell the others to adjust their state. As long as the Demon Emperor agrees to join us, I will begin the final bloodline sublimation. I will completely integrate the Golden Dragon King's bloodline into myself. How much you can absorb depends on you." Ye Qi'an took a deep breath and said, as ten soul rings beneath him shone brightly one after another.

Di Tian nodded slightly, and his enormous body gradually turned into light particles, disappearing back into the third soul ring.

Ye Qi'an slowly descended onto the sea surface. With one step, a thick layer of ice formed beneath him. Ye Qi'an stood on the ice, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the Demon Whale Sea.

"Demon Emperor, come out. I know you're here." Ye Qi'an's voice echoed across the sea, carrying an undeniable majesty.

After a long while, ripples spread across the sea surface, and a huge black shadow slowly emerged. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mountain-like body broke through the water, and seawater poured down from her body like a waterfall. Her cold eyes were fixed on Ye Qi'an, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Human, why have you trespassed into my territory?" The voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was like thunder, causing the sea surface to tremble slightly.

Ye Qi'an remained calm and slowly said, "Demon Emperor, I have come here to make a deal with you. I am well aware of your hatred for the Sea God. I am the Golden Dragon King, a descendant of the Dragon God, and I am currently plotting to fight against the God Realm. If you are willing to become the soul spirit of my last soul ring, once I have accomplished my mission, I will help you completely annihilate the Sea God's lineage and avenge your humiliation."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a burst of maniacal laughter: "What makes you think I would believe you? You humans have always been cunning and deceitful."

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly, releasing a trace of the Golden Dragon King's aura. A powerful and pure force spread across the sea surface. "Demon Emperor, you should be able to sense the strength and purity of this power. I have enough strength and determination to oppose the God Realm. Moreover, I also know some information about your husband, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which might interest you."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes instantly sharpened, and her massive body trembled slightly: "You dare threaten me?"

Ye Qi'an quickly waved his hand: "It's not a threat, I just want you to understand that cooperation is a win-win situation."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stared at Ye Qi'an, his wariness undiminished, but now tinged with hesitation and curiosity. "Tell me," he said, "what is this so-called secret of my husband? If you utter a single falsehood, I will ensure your bones are never found."

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly, and after gathering his thoughts, said, "I think you know better than I do what happened back then. Ten thousand years ago, that human achieved the dual godhood of Sea God and Asura God. During the Sea God's final trial, he killed your husband, making him the last spirit ring of his spirit. When that human became a god, your husband tried to resist, but the Sea God's divine will completely obliterated his soul..."

Ye Qi paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't need to say more about what happened next. With the appearance of the two gods, the sea was stabilized. Your husband completely disappeared from Douluo Continent, leaving you and your daughter alone to live a lonely life in the Demon Whale Sea."

Ye Qi'an's words struck the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's heart like a heavy hammer. Her huge body trembled slightly, and pain and resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Hmph! How could I not know all this, you wretched sea god..." the Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared, his voice creating even higher waves.

"But I can help you pull your husband's soul back from the river of time and resurrect him, provided that we destroy the entire divine realm," Ye Qi'an said.

Upon hearing this, the anger and hatred in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen were instantly replaced by shock and a glimmer of hope. Her enormous eyes were fixed on Ye Qi'an, as if trying to see through the truth in his words.

"You say you can resurrect my husband? Do you have such heaven-defying power?" The voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King trembled slightly, and the seawater around his massive body churned violently.

Ye Qi'an's expression was firm: "Of course I can do it, because I am now at the peak of God King, and stepping into the River of Time is not a problem. If I can go further, then the hope will be even greater."

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but that glimmer of hope also grew stronger.

"Hmph, you claim to be at the peak of the God-King realm? That's empty talk. What evidence do you have to prove you have such ability?"

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was tempted, she remained vigilant. Her enormous body cast a large shadow on the sea surface, and the seawater became increasingly turbulent due to her emotional fluctuations.

Ye Qi'an slowly raised his hands, his soul power surging. In an instant, a vast and boundless aura of a divine king spread outwards from him. This aura contained the domineering and majestic power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, seemingly capable of crushing everything in the world. The clouds above the sea were churning rapidly due to the impact of this aura, and the surrounding seawater seemed to be under invisible pressure, retreating in all directions to reveal a large expanse of sea.

"You felt it, didn't you? This is the power of my peak God-King level. The reason I dare to promise to resurrect your husband is based on this power and my deep understanding of the rules. Although the River of Time is mysterious and unpredictable, as long as one has enough strength, one can touch its mysteries. And I am at the critical stage of this breakthrough. Once the God Realm is destroyed, I can reshape the rules and have absolute confidence to pull your husband's soul back from the River of Time and help him rebuild his physical body, so that you two can be reunited." Ye Qi'an's expression was solemn, and his words revealed an undeniable confidence.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen was deeply shocked by the powerful aura of a god-king. She knew that such strength was not fake, but it was not so easy for her to completely believe it.

"Even if you possess such power, how easy is it to destroy the God Realm? Those are incredibly powerful beings; what makes you think we can do it?"

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly: "What is the God Realm? The Dragon God back then was the God of Gods. Now, the Silver Dragon King and I are both here. As long as we complete the final Dragon God test, we will become the Dragon Gods and restore the Dragon God's majesty once again. Even if we are no match for them, I still have trump cards that can easily turn the tide."

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes. She hadn't expected Ye Qi'an to have such a grand scheme and trump card hidden within.

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy. How could the Dragon God's Trial be so easy to complete? Besides, even if you could truly become the Dragon God, the God Realm wouldn't sit idly by. They would definitely do everything in their power to stop you, and then it would be another fierce battle with an unpredictable outcome." Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was already somewhat shaken, he still voiced his doubts. His massive body swam slowly on the surface of the sea, creating waves.

Ye Qi'an remained calm and unhurried as he said, "The Silver Dragon King and I have endured many hardships and accumulated sufficient resources along the way. Now, we are only one step away from success. If you can become my soul ring spirit and provide me with this crucial assistance, our chances of success will greatly increase. As for the God Realm, they are currently preoccupied with their own problems, and I have discovered that Douluo Continent has severed its connection with the God Realm."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen remained silent for a moment, gazing at the turbulent sea, her mind replaying Ye Qi'an's words. The hope of her husband's resurrection was within reach, but the risks involved were immense. She turned to look at Ye Qi'an again, her eyes filled with determination.

"Alright, Ye Qi'an, I'll believe you this time. But remember this: if you dare to deceive me in the slightest, I will make you pay a terrible price, even if it costs me my life, I will never let you go!" The voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King echoed on the sea, carrying an undeniable ruthlessness.

Ye Qi'an nodded and said, "Demon Emperor, rest assured, I will not let you down. After you become my soul ring spirit, we will join hands and stride forward toward the goal of destroying the God Realm and resurrecting your husband. I can promise you that the Sea God is at your disposal."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded slightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "I hope you can keep your word. That Sea God, I will definitely make him taste a fate worse than death."

Ye Qi'an said solemnly, "Demon Emperor, rest assured, I will keep my promise. Now, please complete the fusion of this soul ring and soul spirit with me. After the fusion, our powers will be more compatible and we can better prepare for the subsequent plans."

"Come to me first, and I'll take you to my palace. My daughter is there too. You'll ensure her safety, won't you?" the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said hesitantly.

Ye Qi'an nodded without hesitation: "Demon Emperor, rest assured, now that I have reached a cooperation agreement with you, I will protect your daughter. Your daughter is my daughter, and I can also be her godfather."

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes flashed with surprise, then he nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the promise.

"Hmph, I hope you can keep your word. If anything happens to my daughter, I won't care about cooperation or not; I'll make you pay the price," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King said in a deep voice, though his tone had softened somewhat compared to before.

Having said that, her massive body slowly approached Ye Qi'an, the seawater rippling with her movements. Ye Qi'an leaped and landed steadily on the broad back of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King then darted into the depths of the sea at incredible speed, the surrounding seawater rushing past like streaks of light. Soon, a magnificent underwater palace appeared before them, radiating a soft glow, surrounded and guarded by various strange marine creatures.

Upon entering the palace, Ye Qi'an immediately felt a dense aura of soul power wash over him. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King led him to a spacious hall, where a small and adorable figure was curiously observing them. This was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's daughter, who, having not yet reached the age of 100,000, could not yet take human form.

Ye Qi'an looked at the tiny deep-sea demon whale, a gentle smile on his face. He squatted down, releasing a gentle wave of divine power, and said softly, "Little guy, don't be afraid. With your godfather here, no one can bully you. Demon Emperor, does the little guy have a name?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at his daughter with a hint of affection in his eyes and slowly said, "Her name is Lan Fuzi. She loves to play here and knows very little about the outside world."

Lan Fuzi seemed to sense the gentleness in her mother's words, and gently swayed her small body, her eyes continuing to look at Ye Qi'an with curiosity.

Ye Qi'an gently patted Lan Fuzi's head and said with a smile, "What a nice name. Since it's our first meeting, your godfather has something for you."

After saying that, he bit his finger, and a drop of golden blood slowly floated out, flying towards Lan Fuzi under Ye Qi'an's control.

This drop of blood contains the powerful strength and pure bloodline energy of the Golden Dragon King, which is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for Lan Fuzi.

Lan Fuzi watched curiously as the drop of golden blood approached. When the blood touched her forehead, it instantly merged into her skin. In that instant, Lan Fuzi's body trembled slightly, a faint golden light emanating from her. Her aura also began to subtly change, and her originally pure and innocent eyes gained a touch of liveliness and depth.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King watched nervously from the side. Seeing that Lan Fuzi was not uncomfortable and even showed signs of benefiting, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"The Soul Beast form is not conducive to cultivation. Hmm... let me think. Then let's give the little guy a few more years of cultivation so that he can advance to a 100,000-year Soul Beast."

As Ye Qi'an spoke, he formed hand seals, and divine power surged around him, forming golden rune chains that extended toward Lan Fuzi.

Lan Fuzi sensed the approaching power, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes, but she gradually calmed down under her mother's reassurance. Golden rune chains gently wrapped around Lan Fuzi's body, slowly infusing her with a powerful and pure cultivation energy.

As her cultivation continued to flow, Lan Fuzi's body began to emit an increasingly dazzling light. Her figure also swelled slightly, and her originally petite body gradually became more robust, with her aura becoming increasingly powerful.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King watched intently from the side, his heart filled with anticipation for his daughter's future growth.

With Ye Qi'an's help, Lan Fuzi's cultivation progressed at a meteoric pace. Time slowly passed, and the light within the palace continued to shine. Finally, after a powerful surge of cultivation energy, Lan Fuzi successfully broke through to the 100,000-year cultivation level. In an instant, her body was enveloped in a dazzling halo, and then slowly transformed into human form.

In her human form, Lan Fuzi possessed long, deep-sea blue hair that cascaded freely down her back. Her skin was as white as snow, and her exquisite face was adorned with a pair of large, bright blue eyes. Her gaze held both the lively depth of a marine creature and the wisdom and serenity that came with her breakthrough in cultivation. She wore a long blue and white dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, making her appear like a sea spirit descended to earth.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at her daughter's human form with eyes full of love and surprise. She swam to Lan Fuzi's side and gently nuzzled her.

Lan Fuzi nestled beside her mother, turned to look at Ye Qi'an, and said softly, "Thank you for your help, godfather." Her voice was as clear and melodious as the sea breeze rustling through seashells.

Ye Qi'an smiled and nodded: "Little Buddha, you don't need to be so polite. You have a long road ahead of you, and your godfather will continue to protect you as you grow."
