Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan wrapped his arm around Bai Xiuxiu's slender waist, leaned forward slightly, and gazed into the distance. "This is the Blood Whale Sea. The name is quite fitting. Are those demonic orcas in that direction?"

He sensed the target with a slight effort and found it. A subtle oppressive force was hidden in the distance. His mental focus penetrated into the seawater and he felt that the rolling blood waves in the distance were full of malice. Powerful auras were faintly visible in the shadows of the seawater.

Yan continued forward with Bai Xiuxiu, his eyes narrowing and flashing with light. Suddenly, everything in front of him became clear, and one after another, demonic orcas appeared in his field of vision.

These demonic killer whales were larger on average than the demonic killer whale pods that Yan had previously planned to wipe out. They had blue-black stripes on their bodies, which provided excellent camouflage in the ocean.

They all carried a bloody aura, and each possessed a powerful presence. In his perception, there were at least a hundred deep-sea killer whales here, and none of them had a cultivation level below ten thousand years. There were probably five or six of them that had a cultivation level above one hundred thousand years.

There was also an aura as deep and dark as a prison, which must be the Demon Orca King. It had the aura of lightning tribulation on its body. Although it could not compare to the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, it was definitely a ferocious beast.

This group of demonic orcas is far stronger than the Demon Soul Great White Sharks of Seagod Island. If Bai Xiuxiu only brings the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to exterminate them, she will simply be sending them to their deaths and will have no chance of winning whatsoever.

Chapter 580 The Ferocious Beast Orca

"Xiuxiu, provoke them a bit."

After surveying the sky for a moment, Yan assessed the situation and figured that dealing with these demonic orcas wouldn't take much effort, so he had Bai Xiuxiu take the initiative to provoke them.

A blue light emanated from Bai Xiuxiu's body, followed by a miniature Demon Soul Great White Shark that flew out of her body and plunged into the sea. Then, the phantom of the Demon Soul Great White Shark swam rapidly, its powerful spiritual intent instantly bursting out into the distance.

This mental message was quickly received by the distant pod of demonic killer whales, which, in human terms, meant, "Come here!"

Soon, bursts of angry and powerful energy erupted from the distant sea. Faced with the provocation of their nemesis, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the Demon Orcas were enraged and determined to make this little shark pay the price.

Almost instantly, the vast seawater seemed to boil and surged rapidly, with towering waves churning the entire area. One after another, enormous demonic killer whales charged madly toward them.

Yan's figure slowly descended, his body gradually turning into a golden crystalline light in mid-air. Incredibly dense blood energy surged from his body, forming a tangible yellow halo that illuminated a large area of ​​the sea, turning it into a yellowish-brown expanse.

He stood on the sea, the earthen-yellow water as solid as the earth, supporting his massive body that was over a hundred meters tall. The angular, earthen-yellow giant displayed his powerful aura, and the demonic orcas that were charging towards him subconsciously slowed down.

Sensing his powerful aura, they immediately slowed down, watching the changes in his body from a distance. Yan, in his true form as the Earth Sovereign, shifted his body, needing to familiarize himself with this state.

He rarely uses this form in battle, or rather, he is more accustomed to using the domineering fire giant form rather than the more defensive earth overlord form.

However, since they were currently in the ocean, which was not the domain of fire, the Earth Lord was still quite capable, which is why he used the true form of his second martial soul.

The Earth-attribute body of the Earth Ruler is closer to real flesh and blood. In the state of a hundred-meter giant, powerful and massive blood energy surges through his body, giving Yan a feeling of being filled with power.

A glint flashed in Yan's eyes, and he raised his right hand, making a grasping motion forward. Instantly, the surrounding sea began to undergo a dramatic transformation.

Yan simply grabbed with his right hand, and the change in gravity in the air created a vortex. The seawater spun violently and rushed towards the vortex, with large swaths of seawater surging into the sky and creating huge waves.

In this situation, a huge whirlpool appeared in the entire seawater. The demonic orcas that were already nearby immediately felt the enormous suction coming from the front and panicked, trying to struggle.

Since Yan had made his move, he naturally wouldn't hold back. With his second martial soul having all ten thousand years or more spirit rings and his martial soul true body reaching the eighth spirit ring state, he was naturally not someone that a small group of ten thousand-year-old spirit beasts could withstand. In an instant, the entire ocean was turned upside down.

The seawater surged and roared, and one after another, the demonic orcas flew swiftly towards Yan's direction. In the next instant, they were sucked into the whirlpool. Although only seawater was swallowed, the demonic orcas sucked into the whirlpool instantly lost their ability to resist.

Yan is not one to waste things. So many ten-thousand-year-old demonic tiger whales could give the Spirit Hall a small boost, so he has to collect them and bring them back.

Just then, streaks of red light suddenly lit up in the distance. At first, they were just tiny red dots, but soon these tiny red dots rapidly enlarged in the air.

In the distance, the several demonic orca kings with cultivation levels exceeding 100,000 years made their move. Huge red light blades cleaved through the wind and waves, splitting the turbulent seawater in two and forcibly cleaving the whirlpools apart. The red lights then flew to Yan's front.

A yellow light rose from Yan's body, and a series of explosions rang out in the air. The crimson aftershocks shattered many waves, and many demonic orcas that were caught in the whirlpool were brutally dismembered. The spreading blood made the sea area even more bloody.

All the demonic orcas that had been sucked into the vortex were ejected, and the red light was annihilated in the explosion.

Several enormous figures appeared in Yan's field of vision. The first one, a giant beast a hundred meters long, was particularly eye-catching. It swam towards Yan at a slow but very steady pace.

This demonic orca king not only has deep blue stripes, but also dark red blood-red stripes. With a body a hundred meters long and a strong aura of blood, this demonic orca king is definitely a ferocious beast.

As the Demon Orca King appeared, more Demon Orcas surrounded it from all directions. The surrounding seawater surged, and whirlpools began to appear in the ocean, but this time they were not formed by Yan, but by the Demon Orca King on the other side.

At this moment, it was like the master of the sea, and its disciples and followers were scattered in the distance, observing the movements here.

However, Yan could also sense that there were several unusual creatures hidden in the deep sea trying to get close to his feet. They were several other demonic orcas with cultivation levels exceeding 100,000 years.

"Humans?"

A chilling voice rang out, the Demon Orca King seemingly devoid of any emotion, "You and that Demon Soul Great White Shark will both become my food. Your life force is very strong, very suitable for me. If I eat you, I might be able to evolve again, to the million-year level..."

Yan's lips curled into a cold smile. "You're very confident and quite bold, but in my opinion, the one who's going to ask for food is you."

"Suffer to death!"

The Demon Orca King seemed to have no patience. With a roar, its mental power exploded, and in the next instant, seawater surged up and flew out, with whirlpools rushing straight towards Yan in the sky.

As these whirlpools drifted, they merged with each other, quickly forming a massive vortex. This vortex was blood-red, and the stormy waters it stirred up were also red, vividly illustrating what a bloody storm truly meant.

Yan's eyes emitted yellow and red light respectively, and one could vaguely see countless sea spirit beasts and vengeful spirits wandering within them, wailing and screaming incessantly, their voices chilling to the bone.

The massive vortex didn't force Yan to retreat an inch. He simply stretched out his hand, and the defensive light of the Mountain Dragon's Might continued to spread, directly shattering the entire vortex. Immediately afterward, a blinding yellow light erupted, and Yan unleashed a powerful punch towards the sea below.

Boom!!!

The demonic orca in the distance and Bai Xiuxiu in Yan's arms could clearly see that as Yan's punch landed on the sea, a huge burst of light and shadow erupted. Then, the undulating yellow light instantly spread and stirred up thousands of giant waves, directly blasting the three-headed demonic orca king out of the sea.

The instantaneous shockwave from Yan's powerful gravity-controlled punch caused a huge change in the entire underwater world. The earthy yellow gravity stirred the seawater, creating a frenzied pressure attack. The omnipresent pressure immediately severely injured the three-headed demonic orca king, which lost its ability to fight after flying out of the sea.

The aura that Yan unleashed in that instant was truly astonishing. The nearby demonic orcas all hurriedly fled into the distance, trying to escape at incredible speed. They were driven by instinctive fear, a fundamental instinct for survival.

In the next instant, all the seawater within a radius of dozens of nautical miles seemed to boil and erupt violently. In an instant, the entire ocean became a chaotic mess, and everything transformed into the most terrifying aura in a flash.

Everything within this area, including the endless seawater, was instantly reduced to dust. The demonic orcas in the closer range were all swept away and scattered, unable to control their bodies at all.

However, the ferocious beast-level demonic orca king was quite powerful, remaining motionless in the sea, its body unmoved by the raging waves around it.

"Roar~~!"

Suddenly, the Demon Orca King made a strange sound in the seawater. Then, its massive body lit up and turned into a dazzling blood red. After turning halfway, it suddenly spun around, and a shocking red light cleaved through the seawater, instantly reaching Yan.

Yan's second martial soul true form clenched his fist and slammed it down. The fist, mixed with the light of the mountain dragon, clashed fiercely with the tail of the demonic tiger whale king. The violent collision once again made the sea boil.

The two enormous bodies clashed in the deep sea, engaging in close-quarters combat. The Demon Orca King, always extremely proud and arrogant, now showed signs of damage in several places after each collision.

Yan's second martial soul was incredibly resilient. The Demonic Tiger Whale King's body clashed with Yan multiple times, but instead of gaining any advantage, it was left with numerous wounds.

Blood rippled in the seawater, and the demonic orcas not far away became even more agitated after smelling the blood. It was the blood of their chieftain, who was now at a disadvantage.

These demonic orcas were surprisingly loyal; despite the danger, they charged forward recklessly, their eyes red with fury, eager to join the battle.

However, most of these creatures have less than 100,000 years of cultivation. If they rush into a battlefield that is at least at the level of ferocious beasts, the result is predictable. In such an intense battlefield, they will only be courting death.

The aftershocks of the collision were enough to blast the demonic orcas into clumps of minced meat, and the seawater that had just filled the area was quickly stained red.

This is when the ferocity of the Demon Orca race is revealed. The more Demon Orcas fall in battle, the more Demon Orcas rush in. And the first thing they do upon arrival is to devour the corpses of their companions.

The Demon Orca King sensed that things were going badly; Yan was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Vast areas of the sea had become a scene of carnage. Then, Yan unleashed another punch, yellow light scattering into the ocean, and large numbers of Demon Orcas rolled belly-up under the terrifying sonic shockwave.

The Demon Orca King was also paralyzed by Yan's gravity control. He, who was always fearless, felt a deep-seated fear rise into his heart. In that instant, he had no choice but to flee.

However, it was too late for him to have such a thought. A burst of intense light suddenly erupted, piercing through the body of the Demon Orca King in the next instant. Golden light swept across its massive body, tearing a huge gash in its flesh.

Chapter 581 Bai Xiuxiu's Luck

In the crimson sea, the ferocious orca king, a beast of terror, let out mournful howls. The immense pain, while terrifying, also fueled its ferocity.

In this state, it unleashed all its power to save itself. A powerful dark red light suddenly exploded, and then the large red tail behind the Demon Orca King spewed out red light, carrying its body away in the distance like lightning.

The demonic orca king chose to flee. Although it was extremely angry at the damage Yan had caused it, it clearly understood that its own survival was the most important thing. At this moment, it didn't even care about its disciples and grandchildren, and fled alone into the distance.

Yan did not attempt to pursue, but instead released a wider range of yellow light, freezing the entire pod of demonic orcas.

The Demon Orca King suddenly spread its fins, propelling its body like giant oars paddling across water. The fins slammed together, creating a vacuum around its body, and it fled into the distance like lightning.

But at that very moment, two white figures suddenly rushed in from the side without warning, crashing into the side of the Demon Orca King, which was fleeing at high speed. Large areas of seawater froze instantly. With Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor attacking at the same time, the Demon Orca King had no chance of escape.

"Xiuxiu, go over there and deal with that guy."

Yan looked down and saw that Xiao Bai had led the main force of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to arrive, and directly threw Bai Xiuxiu down.

A huge white shadow broke through the sea and caught Bai Xiuxiu. Xiao Bai carried his daughter and rushed towards the battlefield where they were besieging the evil orca king.

With a wave of her hand, the Snow Empress sent a massive ice sword crashing into the Demon Orca King. The beast roared in pain as blood gushed from the wound that Yan had previously opened. Its body was thrown sideways by the impact, and then it was violently rammed by Little White.

Little White moved with astonishing speed in the seawater, shooting towards the Demon Orca King like a meteor. At only twenty or thirty meters long, she was pitifully small compared to the Demon Orca King, who was over a hundred meters long. But what could she do when the Demon Orca King had no power to resist at this moment?

Xiao Bai's fierce ramming sent it flying out of the sea, only to plunge it into another attack. Xiao Bai, Bing Di, and Xue Di provided support for Bai Xiuxiu, while the Demon Orca King was gradually bleeding out, its condition deteriorating.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yan slowly opened his arms and sank into the sea. Countless earthen-yellow divine lights emerged from the sea, and the terrifying aura instantly covered the entire area within sight.

The teardrop-shaped crystal on his wrist, shimmering with nine-colored light, emitted a soft halo. Streaks of yellow light instantly transformed into dragon shadows, and with the flickering of the nine-colored light, the dragon shadows seemed to come alive, full of spirituality.

These hundreds of dragon shadows instantly formed a sealing array, preventing the demonic tiger whale horde from breaking through no matter how hard they charged.

Through the Dragon God's Tear on his wrist, Yan was able to temporarily mobilize dragon souls for his own use. These dragon souls merged with his domain, transforming into the magnificent scene of a thousand dragons reviving.

This was Yan's first attempt at using this ability. He had specifically gone out to deal with the horde of demonic orcas, intending to test his skills. This initial test was remarkably effective; the mere horde of demonic orcas couldn't even begin to gauge his limits.

The demonic orca clan, which had been fighting fiercely, finally quieted down. They sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Yan, and the threat posed by the hundreds of dragon shadows filled them with even greater fear.

After a brief silence, these ferocious creatures suddenly fled in the opposite direction like madmen, only to discover to their horror that it was too late to escape.

Yan pushed his hands out forcefully, and a thousand dragon shadows rushed out simultaneously. The dragons danced and churned the seas. Even Yan was inexplicably shocked by this magnificent scene.

The horde of demonic tiger whales was completely swallowed up by the thousands of dragon shadows without any resistance, and more than a hundred demonic tiger whales were directly stunned. The three heavily injured 100,000-year-old soul beasts fared even worse, basically on their last breath, and were casually tossed by Yan towards the battlefield where Bai Xiuxiu was.

No~~~

Amidst the Demon Orca King's unwilling roar, Bai Xiuxiu delivered the final blow, killing all four soul beasts, including the Demon Orca King, with cultivation levels exceeding 100,000 years. At that moment, the voice of the Sea God also rang out.

"The sixth trial of the Sea God, the chaos of the Demonic Tiger Whale, has been passed. Rewards: a Demonic Tiger Whale King Soul Ring and Soul Bone of the ferocious beast level. The Soul Rings of Demonic Tiger Whales with more than 100,000 years of cultivation will be distributed equally according to their age."

A beam of orange-gold and three beams of bright red light swept directly toward Bai Xiuxiu's body. The girl felt a jolt throughout her body, and then she felt her soul rings changing one by one.

Bai Xiuxiu's six spirit rings increased to seven, and an orange-gold spirit ring appeared in her seventh spirit ring position. Immediately afterwards, the remaining three bright red spirit rings flew towards her, and the six spirit rings in front of her changed color at the same time.

This ferocious beast-level demonic orca king has nearly 300,000 years of cultivation, making it a true ferocious beast. Its orange-gold spirit ring is something only Yan can possess in the entire Douluo Continent.

The other reward was even more astonishing: the three 100,000-year spirit rings would be equally distributed among Bai Xiuxiu's other six spirit rings. This might seem like a loss, given that they were three 100,000-year spirit rings, but for Bai Xiuxiu, it was an absolute stroke of luck.

Bai Xiuxiu herself possesses 100,000 years of cultivation, so the first six spirit rings were entirely transformed from her own cultivation, which is probably the optimal spirit ring combination under normal circumstances.

The three 100,000-year spirit rings were evenly distributed among Bai Xiuxiu's six spirit rings, with each spirit ring receiving approximately 50,000 years of cultivation. This directly turned five of her spirit rings black, her fifth spirit ring glowed with a hint of red, and her sixth spirit ring turned bright red.

Five black, one red, and one orange-gold soul rings—Yan was green with envy at Bai Xiuxiu's soul ring configuration. He knew that the old Sea God's Nine Trials included an option to increase the lifespan of soul rings, potentially by as much as 50,000 years at once.

This means that once Bai Xiuxiu completes the Sea God's assessment and increases the age of her spirit rings, she will have at least six 100,000-year spirit rings plus three orange-gold level ferocious beast spirit rings.

Yan worked himself to the bone, and even with his second martial soul, he only received this treatment. This shows how incredibly lucky Bai Xiuxiu truly is; that old Sea God is genuinely good to his successor.

Bai Xiuxiu's soul ring configuration not only made Yan envious, but also stunned everyone else. Is this something a normal human could do? Oh, is this a soul beast in human form, or a successor of the Sea God? Then it doesn't matter.
