Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

Its enormous eyes were a deep, dark blue, with a cold, unfathomable quality, exuding innate arrogance, vigilance, and ferocity.

At this moment, those giant eyes were fixed on Yang Jian in mid-air, their gaze deep and full of scrutiny and vigilance.

A deep, resonant roar, like muffled thunder in the deep sea, echoed across the vast ocean and sky, causing the waves to tremble violently: "Human, what do you want to do?"

The sound reverberated, carrying a dense, fierce pressure, sweeping across the seas and stirring up huge waves.

Yang Jian hovered in the air, looking down calmly at the enormous creature on the sea surface, his expression indifferent and without the slightest ripple.

In an instant, he accurately identified the creature by its aura, size, scales, and soul power level.

With over 700,000 years of cultivation, dark blue scales, and a unique, dark, and violent aura from the deep sea, it perfectly matches the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—this is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's consort, the future Demon Emperor who will dominate the seas and rule over a region!

Yang Jian pondered to himself, never expecting that before he could find the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he would encounter its mate first.

But then he thought again, if the Demon Emperor was lurking in this sea area, then the Deep Sea Demon Whale King must not be far away, most likely cultivating in the nearby deep sea. This chance encounter actually saved him a lot of searching time.

Having made up his mind, Yang Jian no longer hesitated.

He slightly raised his right hand, made a grasping motion in the air, and a sharp-looking, three-pointed, double-edged sword instantly appeared, landing steadily in his palm.

The silver-white divine weapon's blade was clear and bright, its sharp edge gleaming, and wisps of razor-sharp light burst forth from its blade, tearing through the surrounding sea breeze, exuding an extreme aura of killing intent.

Facing the Demon Emperor, who had cultivated for 700,000 years, Yang Jian made no unnecessary probing, said no pointless words, and hesitated in the slightest.

He knew that high-level soul beasts were already mature in mind, and any further negotiation was useless. Only a battle of strength could determine the outcome and obtain the soul ring.

Yang Jian slightly lowered his wrist, exerted force with his arm, and suddenly slashed down at the giant whale on the sea below with his three-pointed double-edged sword!

This strike was swift, decisive, and ruthless, displaying its deadly power.

In order to accurately test the opponent's strength, reserve a backup plan, and avoid a fatal blow, Yang Jian deliberately suppressed his own power to 30%, leaving enough room for maneuver and negotiation.

A refined, pure silver-white blade of energy shot through the air, tearing through layers of sea breeze, leaving a dazzling and sharp white light that landed precisely on the sea surface.

Boom—!

The sharp blade energy cleaved through the surging waves, leaving a long, deep trail on the sea surface, and swept straight toward the Demon Emperor's body.

The violent aftershocks of the blade energy slammed into the Demon Emperor's hard, dark blue scales. The dull, heavy impact resounded throughout the ocean, causing the surrounding waves to churn and explode violently.

The giant whale's pupils suddenly contracted violently, its eyes instantly filled with extreme shock and fear.

It had no idea that this seemingly young human powerhouse would attack so swiftly and domineeringly, and that the power of his sword aura, with only 30% of its strength, was already terrifying, far surpassing any human soul master it had ever encountered.

A life-or-death crisis instantly gripped his mind, and the Demon Emperor dared not be careless in the slightest.

Its enormous body suddenly retreated violently, its heavy form rapidly shifting across the sea, creating ring after ring of huge, circular waves.

Giant waves spread wildly outwards from its body, surging and crashing in all directions. The white waves piled up and rolled, creating a tremendous spectacle that shook the entire sea area violently.

The moment he dodged the fierce blade of energy, the Demon Emperor flew into a rage, unleashing a deafening roar that echoed through the sky, filled with boundless ferocity and fury: "Roar—!"

With a roar and a thunderous sound, the seawater trembled, and the entire ocean instantly became violent and turbulent.

The Demon Emperor opened its massive maw, and a pure, condensed dark blue energy beam suddenly condensed within its dark and deep mouth.

The beam of light was thick and domineering, its entire body a deep blue, carrying the dark power accumulated over millions of years in the deep sea and its ultimate penetrating power. It tore through the air with a piercing whistling sound, shooting straight toward Yang Jian in mid-air!

The blue light pierced the air at extreme speed, instantly traversing dozens of meters of sea and arriving in front of Yang Jian. The attack was fierce and there was no way to avoid it.

Yang Jian's gaze was calm and his mind was steady. He remained completely unfazed in the face of the domineering beam of light that was hurtling towards him at lightning speed.

With a swift and graceful movement, he barely managed to dodge the deadly attack by using the exquisite footwork of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

The dark blue beam of light, which passed by, failed to hit its target and instead shot straight into the high-altitude clouds.

The next instant, a deafening roar shattered the sky!

A thick blue beam of light exploded hundreds of feet in the air, and endless dark blue energy scattered and flew everywhere, turning into billions of tiny, bright blue light spots that fell all over the sky, like a beautiful but deadly blue rainstorm that covered the entire sky.

With his attack missing its mark, the Demon Emperor's ferocious rage intensified, and his offensive continued unabated.

It opened its massive maw once more, and the dark power deep within its mouth frantically gathered, compressed, and condensed.

A rapidly spinning, extremely condensed dark blue energy sphere slowly took shape. The sphere was filled with a dark blue light, and its surface was wrapped with fine lightning and water patterns. It contained terrifying explosive power, and the surrounding air was torn apart and distorted by its power.

call out--!

The compressed energy sphere suddenly shot out, drawing a sharp parabolic trajectory in the air, carrying a world-destroying force, and slammed into Yang Jian in mid-air!

Before the sphere of light even arrived, a terrifying pressure had already set in, and the chilling energy currents forced the surrounding waves to sink and give way.

Yang Jian held the three-pointed double-edged sword with a calm expression, and with a light flick of his wrist, he was extremely swift and skillful.

A condensed and pure silver-white blade of energy flew out and struck the core of the dark blue energy sphere with perfect precision.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the domineering energy sphere was instantly cleaved in two and exploded in half.

Two powerful streams of dark blue light instantly scattered and diverged, crashing down to the left and right sides of the sea.

Boom! Boom!

Two earth-shattering explosions rang out almost simultaneously!

The stream of light that crashed into the sea exploded with a deafening roar, creating two giant water columns tens of meters high. White water splashed everywhere and fell freely. The powerful impact caused the entire sea area to tremble violently and the waves to surge endlessly.

Both offensives were thwarted, and the Demon Emperor was thoroughly enraged, unleashing his full ferocity.

Its massive, cumbersome body now displayed extreme agility and speed. Its enormous body twisted, circled, and crashed on the sea surface, each turn creating towering waves tens of meters high, layer upon layer of waves crashing relentlessly towards Yang Jian in mid-air.

Chapter 262 Patience

The Demon Emperor's offensive proceeded without the slightest hesitation or pause.

It hovered in mid-air over the vast sea, its massive whale body trembling slightly, and a violent energy continuously brewing deep within its throat. Each surge of energy caused the air currents within a hundred miles of the surrounding sea to churn violently, and the sea surface to sink and collapse layer by layer.

A dark blue energy beam broke through the confinement and shot out from its giant mouth.

The beam of light spanned several meters in diameter, its entire form condensed and pure, without a trace of impurity. In the instant the energy circulated at high speed, the air along its path for thousands of meters was continuously scorched by extreme heat, causing layers of distorted ripples to appear in the spatial plane, and the void patterns to flicker and shatter continuously.

The high temperature spread rapidly along the beam of light, and the surrounding water mist instantly vaporized and dissipated. A strong, hot and dry atmosphere filled the air, and the fishy sweetness of the sea salt was completely scorched and spoiled by the high temperature.

Before the first beam of light even reached the battlefield, the second wave of attack that the Demon Emperor had spoken of had already taken shape.

Dozens of perfectly round and full bursting orbs of light rose into the air one after another. Inside each orb, surging dark blue soul power rolled, and the energy patterns on the surface flowed rapidly, constantly compressing and accumulating power.

Each sphere of light carries a terrifying explosive force capable of tearing mountains apart and shattering solid rock. Spatial cracks are faintly growing on its surface, indicating that the energy contained within has long since broken through the constraints of conventional soul power.

The Demon Emperor's attack frequency continued to surge, the density of his attacks layered upon each other, and the explosive power steadily increased.

The speed of energy condensation broke through the limit. Just as a beam of light pierced the sky from the giant maw, the nascent form of the next beam of light had already taken shape deep in its throat, seamlessly connecting without any gaps.

The exploding light spheres were no longer fired in batches, but instead surged out in large numbers, densely covering the entire airspace in front of Yang Jian, blocking all horizontal and vertical movement paths.

The deep blue beams crisscrossed and sped through the air, with tiny sparks of energy constantly bursting out at the points where the beams met. Every spark that landed could blast a hole several feet deep into the sea.

The dense and boundless energy attack completely covered the entire combat airspace, sealing off all escape routes with no blind spots.

Countless violent energy streams intertwined and overlapped, forming an impenetrable energy suppression layer in mid-air.

The oppressive layer, heavy and imposing, slowly descended with an overwhelming, all-encompassing power.

The Demon Emperor's intentions were extremely resolute. With a relentless and ferocious offensive, he imprisoned Yang Jian in mid-air over this sea area, crushing his defenses with absolute energy, and finally achieving a decisive victory by severely injuring, defeating, and annihilating him.

A furious onslaught descended from the sky, filling the heavens and earth with a ghostly blue light, its power shaking the vast ocean for miles.

High in the air, Yang Jian stood tall and graceful, his movements precise and controlled.

A massive surge of violent energy swept in, reaching within three zhang of him, yet his mind remained calm and undisturbed, his aura showing no fluctuation or disorder.

Extreme panic and oppression filled the entire battlefield, but where he stood, there was calm and tranquility, and his mind was clear.

The first thick, dark blue beam of light pierced the air, accompanied by a deafening roar as it hurtled towards the entrance.

Yang Jian lightly tapped the air with his feet, and his figure suddenly slid sideways for several feet.

With precise displacement, he avoided the impact of the core of the light beam, his body narrowly missing the scorching beam.

The beam of light, carrying extremely hot air, swept across his robes. The fabric was instantly scorched and hardened by the intense heat, and the sound of it tearing through the air continued to ring out. Fine scorch marks were burned on the edges of his robes.

The residual heat seeped into his skin through the gaps in his clothes, bringing waves of burning pain, but it couldn't shake his posture in the slightest.

Immediately following, three explosive orbs of light formed a triangular formation, locking onto his vital points and charging towards him simultaneously, blocking all angles of evasion.

Yang Jian suddenly exerted force in his waist, his body flipped in mid-air, his muscles and bones moved silently, and his figure drew a neat and smooth arc in mid-air.

The three orbs of light swept past the airspace beneath him, grazing the soles of his shoes as they sped away.

After the ball of light landed, it exploded simultaneously on the sea hundreds of feet behind it.

The violent energy explosion created a giant wave tens of meters high, and the ring-shaped air waves spread out in layers, powerfully propelling Yang Jian's figure forward a few feet more steadily.

The aftershocks of the explosion swept in all directions, causing waves to surge across the sea, with tiny droplets splashing for miles around, and the shockwaves lingered for a long time.

Before the aftershocks had subsided, a new and even more intense wave of energy surges followed, with layers upon layers of blue light blocking the entire airspace, the density of the attack far exceeding that of the previous waves.

Yang Jian's wrist trembled slightly, his palm exerted precise force, and the long sword at his waist swung out smoothly.

The extremely refined and sharp sword energy burst forth, carrying pure and powerful soul energy, precisely aligning with the energy beam that was sweeping across the front.

The blade energy and the beam of light collided head-on, and the two extremely violent energies instantly clashed and exploded.

A tremendous burst of energy shook the sky, and the roar pierced through layers of wind and waves, echoing across thousands of miles of sea.

Scattered energy fragments flew rapidly in all directions, and tiny, eerie blue light spots fell like rain, all landing on the sea surface below.

Each tiny fragment falling into the water creates a ring of fine spray, and as the spray accumulates, the entire sea surface ripples with endless waves.

Yang Jian twisted his wrist again, and the blade swung rapidly in quick succession. His movements were fluid and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.

Three more condensed sword energies flew out of the body one after another, evenly spaced and with balanced force, precisely locking onto three explosive light orbs that attacked simultaneously.

Three sharp explosions rang out in succession, and the three terrifying orbs of light were shattered head-on by the blade energy.

The dazzling, blinding flames of the explosion stretched out in front of him, and waves of scorching energy surged and spread in layers.

All the energy aftershocks and scorching heat waves from the explosion were completely blocked and deflected by the invisible soul power barrier around him, and could not touch the hem of his clothes at all.

Throughout the entire offensive and defensive standoff, Yang Jian consistently employed defense, evasion, and precise parrying as his core tactics.

He never actively used his soul power to launch a strong attack, nor was he in a hurry to break the deadlock or injure the enemy.

On the surface, the battle appeared to be a passive maneuver, with him retreating step by step, but in reality, he had already firmly grasped the rhythm and trend of the entire battle.
