Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Seagulls soar across the sky, swoop down into the sea, skillfully snatch a fish in their mouths, flap their wings, and take flight.

The Black Pearl ship landed on Silver Whale Island, where the Qin family grandfather and grandson led Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi to their small fishing village.

The fishing village was small, with just over three hundred people. Qin Hai, as a five-ring Soul King, held a high position in the village. He recounted his fishing experience to the villagers and urged them to replenish the Black Pearl's supplies for its long-distance voyage.

Qin Yu took Ling Qiuxi to see the statue of the Azure Sea Silver Dragon Whale in the center of the fishing village, while Qin Hai invited Ling Bai into his home to draw up a sea map for their return to Douluo Continent.

Hanging in the main hall is a huge nautical chart that clearly shows the marks of time, with Silver Whale Island as the center and the surrounding sea areas, islands and continents clearly marked.

"Brother Ling, this route was taken by my ancestor, traversing six seas before finally landing in Lingyang City." Qin Hai drew a line.

"Five of the six sea areas are safe sea areas like the Bluefish Sea Area, while only the Tyrant Sea Area has a 100,000-year-old Tyrant Squid."

The 100,000-year-old giant squid is inherently lazy and far weaker than the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, so it probably won't cause you any trouble.

"Lingyang City...a coastal city of the Douling Empire."

Ling Bai studied the nautical chart, then lightly traced a new route with his fingertip and asked, "Uncle Qin, what's the sea situation like along this route?"

"Let me see..."

Qin Hai glanced at it and couldn't help but gasp:

"We have to cross two more sea areas than Lingyang City. Of the eight sea areas, only one is a safe sea area. The other seven have at least one 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast guarding them!"

Whirlpool seahorses, deep-sea vipers, blue-striped octopus kings… Oh my god, and the Demonic Sea, the ocean ruled by the Demonic Orca King, a forbidden zone for humans!

Qin Hai was terrified, unable to imagine how Ling Bai had made his choice, as every step he took seemed to be treading on a landmine!

The next second, he suddenly realized something: "Wait, Brother Ling, your destination doesn't seem to be a city, but the far north of the Douluo Continent!"

"We are from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the far north is closer to home," Ling Bai said casually.

Upon entering the Sea of ​​Spirit, Xue Di felt a warmth in her heart. Ling Bai knew that she missed Bing Di and Bing Xiong Wang, so he took her home to visit her old friends.

Sea Soul Masters don't mean they know nothing about Douluo Continent. Qin Hai had heard of the terror of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. Judging from Ling Bai's posture, it seemed he intended to traverse the Far North. The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitated, saying:

"The prerequisite for entering the far north is to cross the icy sea, which is ruled by the mermaid race. Their queen is called the Sea Princess, who has cultivated for over 600,000 years and is one of the most ferocious beasts in the sea."

Mermaids are generally friendly, but they are devout followers of the sea god. The old man, if he may be so bold, thinks this route isn't safe enough; perhaps… we should try another one.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King repeatedly proclaimed Ling Bai to be the Demon of the Sea, making his journey back to Douluo Continent destined to be extraordinary. Silver Whale Island worships the Azure Sea Silver Dragon Whale, but only reveres the Sea God, not truly believing in him, which is why Qin Hai spoke out to dissuade him.

"You're oversimplifying things, Uncle Qin. Princess Ruohai obeys the Sea God's orders; no matter which sea she goes to, she will lead her mermaid clan in pursuit," Ling Bai said calmly. "I'm determined to walk this path. All sea spirit beasts are welcome to court death..."

Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Ling Qiuxi... so many people in the family will all need 100,000-year soul rings in the future.

While Ling Bai, the sea spirit beast, felt a little embarrassed to take advantage of the Star Dou Great Forest, he felt no pressure whatsoever; the more the merrier.

If the sea princess dares to come, Ling Bai wouldn't mind turning her into a sea bull.

Since Ling Bai had made up his mind, Qin Hai couldn't say anything more and drew up a detailed map of the eight sea areas along the route from Silver Whale Island to the far north.

"We won't bother you any longer, lest we bring trouble to Silver Whale Island. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning," Ling Bai said, taking the nautical chart.

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Today is the annual Silver Whale Festival on Silver Whale Island. Brother Ling and Miss Ling must attend tonight! We'll pray for your success at sea!"

"it is good."

Ling Bai left the Qin family to search for Ling Qiuxi, attracting the attention of many villagers along the way. Sea Soul Masters, especially those from remote areas, rarely saw land Soul Masters. In their eyes, Ling Bai was as rare as a giant panda, and a giant panda with an extraordinary appearance.

After wandering around for a while, they finally found Ling Qiuxi and Qin Yu under the statue of the Silver Whale in the center of the fishing village. They were sitting opposite an old woman.

The old woman was extremely old, her body shriveled with age, her deep-set eyes filled with the wisdom of time. Her hands, as dry as firewood, held Ling Qiuxi's fair and delicate hands, as if observing something.

A shadow fell over her head. Ling Qiuxi looked up and, seeing a familiar face, didn't bother to get up: "All done?"

"Um, what are you doing?"

"Fortune telling."

Ling Qiuxi said matter-of-factly, "Xiaoyu said the High Priest's divination is very accurate, so I'll have my marriage fortune told."

"superstitious."

Ling Bai sent a telepathic message with a look of disdain: "You're quite the talent for fortune telling, Imperial Beast!"

After a long pause, the High Priest of Silver Whale Island slowly spoke: "May everything go well for you, young lady; may your wishes be fulfilled."

Ling Qiuxi nodded in satisfaction and gave Ling Bai a wink, as if to say, "See? I told you I was right!"

"This is an ancient divination technique from Silver Whale Island. Brother Ling, why don't you give it a try?" Qin Yu strongly recommended.

"...Then let me calculate my future prospects."

Ling Bai opened his right hand, and the high priest examined him for a moment. His expression changed from calm to wrinkles, and a deep shock flashed in his eyes.

"Young man, this is the appearance of a celestial being; you have the potential to become a god."

Amazing!

They scoff at the idea of ​​a mere marriage, yet firmly believe in the potential to become a god!

The high priestess smiled. Although she was an old Soul Emperor nearing a hundred years old and possessed some divination abilities, she could never possibly predict the future of the Chosen One and the Divine Beast of Destiny.

It was just that they could tell Ling Qiuxi had someone she liked, and Ling Bai was exceptionally talented, so they said the nice things.

This way they're happy, and she's happy too.

The fishermen on Silver Whale Island attach great importance to the Silver Whale Festival, after all, the silver dragon whale of the sea is their faith, and they are making preparations for the nighttime sacrifice with great enthusiasm.

The two experienced the local customs and culture they had never seen before, and Qin Yu warmly presented them with clothing with distinctive local characteristics.

Ling Bai changed into a plaid short-sleeved shirt, while Ling Qiuxi wore a gray and white floral skirt that revealed her navel. They exuded exotic charm and youthful vitality. Her long, golden hair was blown by the sea breeze, resembling smooth golden silk.

Holding chilled coconut juice in their hands, the two walked slowly along the coastline, leaving a trail of footprints of varying depths on the soft sand.

The beach is surrounded by the azure ocean, with its transition from deep blue to light white creating distinct layers as you approach. Those who have never seen the sea in person will never know that seawater can have so many different colors; the waves, the sand, and the distant sea surface combine to form a beautiful, terraced landscape painting.

The sea breeze carried a hint of saltiness and coolness. Ling Bai gently held Ling Qiuxi's hand, his fingertips landing in his palm, making light circles. A faint, ticklish sensation, like a weak electric current, quickly spread throughout his body.

Ling Qiuxi gave a soft hum and gripped Ling Bai's hand even tighter. After 15,000 years of life, she finally saw these novel things: beaches, the sea, and islands.

She enjoys the romantic feeling of walking on the beach, and even more so, she enjoys the people who accompany her on those walks.

The enormous sun gradually sank, and the azure sea was tinged with a warm red. The two stood on the beach, their faces flushed by the afterglow of the setting sun.

After the tide receded at sunset, many hermit crabs carrying heavy shells appeared on the beach as they foraged for food. Ling Qiuxi squatted down, picked one up, and gently shook it. The hermit crab fell out of its shell and hurriedly fled.

"Life is like a hermit crab; when you show your soft side, someone will always deliver a fatal blow."

She smiled, flicked her wrist, and the snail shell, like a streak of light, landed right next to the hermit crab, its eyes sparkling like stars.

"If it were you, I think I would be willing to show my softness."

"Such a strong artistic vibe, it doesn't seem like you." Ling Bai was slightly surprised.

Ling Qiuxi glared at him angrily. The little princess of Xingdou Culture Co., Ltd. had been insulted!

She took a big sip of coconut juice and shouted towards the sea and the sunset:

"Humans are so troublesome, with so many rules!"

"You don't like the human world anymore?" Ling Bai asked with a smile.

"No, the human world is great." Ling Qiuxi shook her head, sat on the beach hugging her knees, "It's just too complicated. In the soul beast world, you can just snatch whoever you like and mate with them."

I used to think that as long as I beat all the women around you, I could have you forever.

Later I realized that humans are different from spirit beasts. Strength alone is far from enough; one must also have a heart. The ultimate power of the golden dragon is completely useless when it comes to emotions.

Actually, I've always missed the time in the Star Dou Great Forest, when you only had me by your side...

"Now, you're the only one by my side."

Ling Bai turned Ling Qiuxi's head so that she looked directly into his eyes. The sea breeze caressed their faces, gently ruffling their hair. Ling Qiuxi saw her entire self reflected in Ling Bai's eyes.

"There's an old saying in the human world: do whatever you want, and leave the rest to retribution," Ling Bai said softly.

"Too many people's fates are like fallen leaves, Qiu Xi, you must rise up, like golden rain."

On the vast, boundless blue horizon, moonlight gently spread like fine gauze, weaving an extremely tender picture. Ling Qiuxi's eyes sparkled with a bright light as she forcefully lifted Ling Bai's chin and kissed him deeply.

"That's exactly what I want!"

Just as the golden dragon was unleashing its domineering power on the angel, a figure came bounding over:

"Brother Ling, Sister Ling, the ritual has begun... Wow!"

The shocking scene dealt a heavy blow to Qin Yu's pure and innocent heart, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Ling Qiuxi and Qin Yu locked eyes, and Ling Qiuxi's cheeks instantly flushed red. She grabbed Ling Bai's collar and shook him wildly.

"Damn it, why didn't you warn me!"

"Let's be reasonable. How can I remind you if you've shut me up..."

"It's all your fault! Take this Golden Dragon Fist!"

On the way back to the village, Qin Yu would occasionally peek at the two of them, chuckling to himself. As expected, he went off-topic, his mind automatically conjuring up a long-running drama.

A great love that the world cannot accept!

The Silver Whale Festival ceremony naturally takes place beneath the statue of the Silver Whale of the Sea, where fishermen offer sacrifices and pray devoutly. The high priest lights a bonfire, dancing and waving his cane with great enthusiasm; it's hard to imagine that an elderly man with difficulty walking could have such agile dance moves.

Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi watched the sacrificial ceremony quietly. The auspicious beast was not unique.

The golden hawksbill turtle is also an auspicious beast, whose power of good fortune protects the Star Dou Turtle Clan. Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, it can only serve as a mascot, and must stay in one place for many years to gather good fortune.

The Azure Ocean Silver Dragon Whale is stronger than the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, but it is still among the ordinary auspicious beasts and cannot compare with the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

There can only be one Imperial Auspicious Beast in the world. No matter how powerful the Silver Dragon Whale is, its fortune is ultimately below that of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, which will protect the Silver Whale Sea from the heavens.

Suddenly, a song filled the air, melodious and ethereal, as if it had come from ten thousand years ago, carrying a sense of detachment from the world.

"This...this is the song of the Silver Whale of the Vast Ocean!"

The high priest knelt tremblingly, tears streaming down his face: "Three hundred years have passed, and the Silver Dragon Whale of the Azure Sea has not abandoned its believer! Quickly, bow down to the statue!"

The fishermen of Silver Whale Island excitedly kowtowed to the statue of the Silver Dragon Whale in the vast sea, and the statue responded to their calls.

The sound of the waves crashing against the earth echoed in everyone's ears. A silver light descended from the sky, and the light of heaven and earth gathered in one place. People saw a giant wave rising high on the sea behind the statue!

The giant silver whale, over 100 meters long, makes the Demon Soul Great White Shark King look like an underage child in front of it, and the water is split in two in front of its huge body.

"A sea spirit beast with nearly 500,000 years of cultivation..." Ling Bai's eyes darkened slightly.

The silver dragon whale turned around, its body moving with great elegance, its light shimmering, the white waves it ripped out frozen in time, the faint light reflecting off the sky illuminating the silver-haired woman's flawless and beautiful face.

The silver-haired woman used her soul power to help the fisherman up. Her silver eyes gazed gently at Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi, lingering on the latter for a few more seconds, before she spoke:

"Welcome to Silver Whale Island."

The fishermen of Silver Whale Island were all in tears, while Ling Bai and Ling Qiuxi exchanged a meaningful glance.

"Angels, Emperors, I apologize for bothering you. We have encountered some trouble in the Silver Whale Sea. Could you please lend a helping hand?" The silver-haired woman spoke softly.

"What's the trouble?"

"Three hundred years ago, an evil soul beast broke into the Silver Whale Sea and wreaked havoc. I tried my best but could only barely seal it at the bottom of the sea. Now the seal is about to break. If it is released again, the creatures of the Silver Whale Sea will probably be completely wiped out."

"The Silver Dragon Whale of the Vast Ocean, a mythical creature that protects the land..." Ling Bai looked at her coldly.

"As an auspicious beast, I have a responsibility to protect the Silver Whale Sea."

"Then can you explain to me what's going on with this uncontrollable evil aura emanating from you?"

"Blood energy?" The silver-haired woman was taken aback.

In the next instant, Ling Bai's figure disappeared from the spot, and with a loud bang, the silver-haired woman was sent flying backward until she fell into the sea and turned back into her original form!

The Silver Dragon Whale of the Vast Ocean no longer concealed its evil aura; its black and red pupils emitted a dazzling light, like a searchlight in the night, even surpassing the bright moon hanging high in the sky!

The giant mouth of the Silver Whale opened, revealing its scarlet oral cavity and rows of sharp teeth.

"roar--"

The tides changed course under the roar of the silver whale, unleashing a terrifying tsunami!

"I had prepared a big gift for you in the deep sea, but I accidentally ate too much today, and you found out."

Auspicious beast! Auspicious beast! I've long since given up on being some worthless auspicious beast! I protect the peace of the ocean, but who will protect me through the five hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation?!

Only by devouring, the more I devour, the stronger I become. The Azure Ocean Silver Dragon Whale is a thing of the past.

I am... the Sea-Devouring Evil Dragon Whale!

A mythical beast has fallen into evil!

The Sea-Devouring Evil Dragon Whale!

P.S.: I'm taking the day off tomorrow. I've been traveling for two weeks, so I need a break at the end of the month~
