Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The Body Sect hadn't been this lively in a long time. The celebration lasted all day, only coming to an end as night fell.

Finally, Poisonous Death announced, "Today's celebration is now over. Everyone may leave. Second Elder, please see His Majesty Mu Lian off on behalf of my brother and me!"

Afterwards, everyone left the main hall of the Body Sect.

"Yuanba, Yumou, Aotian, the three of you come again tomorrow morning." Before Long Aotian and his family left, Du Bisi gave them this instruction.

"Yes, Grand Master, I understand." After replying, Long Yuanba took his wife and son home.

The next morning, the family of three arrived at the sect's main hall again, where Du Bisi and Du Busi were already sitting inside.

Upon seeing the three arrive, Du Bisi said, "Yuanba, Yumou, Aotian, please sit down and make yourselves at home. Don't be shy."

"Now that Yuanba and Yumou have been promoted to sect elders, according to sect custom, as sect elders, you can receive a top-grade soul bone as a reward."

"You may accept these two soul bones!"

With a wave of his hand, Du Bisi conjured two soul bones radiating a powerful light in mid-air. Although their aura was slightly weaker than that of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's head soul bone, the difference was only slight.

"These two soul bones, one is the torso soul bone of the 93,000-year-old Golden Crocodile King, and the other is the head soul bone of the 95,000-year-old Jade Bird King, are extremely compatible with you two."

Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou didn't stand on ceremony and cupped their hands, saying, "Thank you for the Grand Sect Master's reward."

Then, Long Yuanba accepted the Golden Crocodile King's torso soul bone, and Ao Yumou accepted the Jade Bird King's head soul bone.

Du Bisi turned to Long Aotian and said, "Aotian, you contributed the most to my recovery this time. Master, I'll give you a weapon as a gift."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and another weapon appeared in mid-air.

It was a knife, one meter long, engraved with cloud patterns. The cloud patterns were sapphire-like in color and outlined a soul beast in the shape of a whale, with its mouth wide open as if it were roaring.

The knife doesn't look like a weapon at all; instead, it's as exquisite as a work of art.

Upon seeing this, Poison Immortal spoke up, "Brother, why haven't I seen this knife before? Where did you get it?"

Poisonous Death spoke up, "This sword is called the Devouring Heaven Sword, and it was passed down from our master before his death. There's a story behind this sword."

"This knife was stolen by my master from the evil spirit master."

"This matter dates back more than a hundred years. At that time, you were still young, and I had just reached the level of Title Douluo. Back then, our Body Sect's Sect Master was still Master."

"Once, my master went away for a long time, and when he returned, he had suffered a serious injury."

"My master told me that when he was traveling, he passed by the west coast of the Sun and Moon Continent and suddenly discovered an unusual aura. The place was filled with death and vengeful spirits. My master was suspicious, so he carefully investigated along the coast."

"This investigation uncovered a shocking secret in a valley."

"It turns out that a group of evil soul masters actually built a huge altar in this valley. On the altar was a huge sea soul beast in the shape of a whale—the Deep Sea Demon Whale. The Deep Sea Demon Whale was completely dead, and death energy permeated its corpse. Just from that overwhelming death energy, Master judged that the Deep Sea Demon Whale was no less powerful than the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest when it was alive."

"Not weaker than the Beast God Emperor Tian?" Upon hearing this, Poison Undying exclaimed in surprise.

The Beast God Di Tian is the king of all soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. His strength surpasses that of all soul beasts and soul masters on the Douluo Continent, and he is even stronger than the Limit Douluo.

If it is no weaker than Di Tian, ​​then was this Deep Sea Demon Whale a million-year-old soul beast in its previous life?

Long Aotian pondered that there were only two deep-sea demon whales that could rival Di Tian: one was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago, who was killed by Tang San during the Sea God's Trial; the other was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife, who would become the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult ten thousand years later.

It seems that the corpse of that deep-sea demon whale should be the corpse of the deep-sea demon whale king from ten thousand years ago. It's just a mystery how the corpse of the deep-sea demon whale king ended up in the hands of the evil soul master.

Poison Must Die continued, "Besides the corpse of that deep-sea demon whale, there were many other soul beast corpses, and even countless human soul master corpses mixed in."

"From the corpses of these soul beasts and soul masters, blood energy and soul power continuously emanated, surging towards the corpse of the deep-sea demon whale in the center of the altar. After absorbing this vast blood energy and soul power, the aura of the deep-sea demon whale did not become stronger, but instead became weaker, as if something within its body was constantly devouring this blood energy and soul power."

"Gradually, the corpses of the soul beasts and soul masters surrounding the altar were devoured, and the corpse of the deep-sea demon whale was also devoured until only its skeleton remained. Inside the corpse of the deep-sea demon whale, there was actually an evil blade."

"Although that evil blade looks completely devoid of any ferocity, my master knows that it is merely a return to simplicity, with its true power hidden within."

"Master was shocked that these evil spirit masters would defy the world and use such evil methods to refine evil weapons."

"Because the evil sword had previously devoured the deep-sea demon whale and countless soul beasts, the energy contained in the soul master's blood and soul power far exceeded that of the so-called level nine soul tool. Master was worried that these evil soul masters would use this evil sword to cause disaster on the continent. Therefore, Master took advantage of the moment when the evil soul masters were relaxed after completing the evil weapon's refinement and quickly seized the evil sword."

"But those evil spirit masters were extremely well-protected. Although my master managed to snatch the evil sword from them when they were off guard, he was also surrounded by the evil spirit masters."

"Although Master is very powerful, the evil spirit masters are numerous and powerful, so Master was inevitably injured."

"Strangely, after Master was injured, his blood energy was absorbed by the evil blade in his hand. After the evil blade was stained with the blood energy of a living person, it seemed to be sharpened, and its ferocious aura intensified."

"Master, despite his injuries, used the awakened Gold-level power of his original martial soul. Wielding the Evil Blade, his combat strength increased greatly, and the Evil Soul Master was unable to defend against him for a time. Only then did Master escape from the Evil Soul Master's encirclement."

"My master, carrying that evil blade, returned to the Body Sect despite his severe injuries."

"My master told me about these things and handed the evil sword to me. However, due to his severe injuries, he ultimately could not hold on and passed away."

"At that time, my second brother was still young and his strength was still limited, so I did not tell you these things."
