Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Just as everyone was marveling at this, three balls of red light and one ball of pale golden light suddenly exploded. It was the soul bones of the three demonic tiger whales that were over 100,000 years old and the ferocious beast-level demonic tiger whale king that exploded.

Two soul bones were enveloped in a pale golden light. This ferocious beast-level demonic whale king had actually dropped two soul bones, a rare pair of twin soul bones.

Yan knew that only Bibi Dong had this luck, having obtained a pair of 100,000-year-old arm bones, while Bai Xiuxiu had obtained left and right leg bones, which were the most likely soul bones to be obtained from the Demonic Tiger Whale lineage.

The Demon Orca King dropped a pair of soul bones, while the other three 100,000-year-old Demon Orcas each left behind a left and right arm bone and a skull, which reminded Yan of a certain rumor.

It is said that when a Soul Master kills a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, unless all six of their main Soul Bones are already full, the Soul Bone that drops will definitely be a Soul Bone that is not what they already possess. In other words, there will be no situation where they get nothing. As long as they kill the beast, they will definitely get a Soul Bone that they can use.

Yan originally thought it was just a legend, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation today. Bai Xiuxiu has suddenly collected five main soul bones, and with the Ice Emperor who is likely to have a torso bone, her six main soul bones are now complete.

"That old sea god is really cunning, how sour!"

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu's bright smile, Yan secretly envied her while also admiring the old Sea God's scheming.

That's right, Bai Xiuxiu's mission this time was definitely planned by the Sea God, just to help this girl get a better soul ring configuration and a body full of soul bones.

Among the gods who left behind their legacy in Douluo Continent, only the Sea God had the resources to do this. The sea is teeming with soul beasts, and those with over 100,000 years of cultivation are terrifyingly numerous. Let alone a set of six divine armor pieces over 100,000 years old, collecting several more wouldn't be a problem.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Bai Xiuxiu was immersed in the joy of acquiring soul rings and soul bones when she noticed Yan looking at her. This reminded her of something, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"Bai Xiuxiu, what are you thinking about?"

Yan immediately understood that Bai Xiuxiu had misunderstood, and without further explanation, he aimed at her little bottom and gave her a whack. He had already decided that he would teach this future ocean goddess a lesson that night, so that she would understand what the master's authority meant.

"Xiuxiu, hurry up and absorb these soul bones!"

Xiao Bai was more excited than anyone else, and hurriedly shouted to Bai Xiuxiu, urging her daughter to quickly absorb the five soul bones. These five soul bones were all of the 100,000-year level, and if Bai Xiuxiu could successfully absorb them, her own foundation would definitely increase significantly.

Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor also looked at Bai Xiuxiu expectantly. They had decided to form a soul contract with Bai Xiuxiu. The stronger the master of this contract, the greater the benefits they would receive in the future.

"Brother Yan, are you still missing any soul bones?"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't rush to absorb the nutrients. Instead, she kept Yan in mind, blinking her beautiful eyes at him, her meaning clear: he shouldn't be polite.

"Xiuxiu, my soul bone is already full, I don't need it anymore. Only when a soul beast's soul ring and soul bone are combined can it obtain the greatest benefits."

While feeling touched, Yan politely declined Bai Xiuxiu's offer. His entire body was already fully developed, and he had several external soul bones, so he naturally didn't need these additional soul bones. "By the way, before you absorb them, it would be best if you completed a soul contract with the Ice Emperor."

These soul bones mostly contain the remnants and resentment of these demonic orcas. Trying to suppress them yourself would easily lead to problems.

Chapter 582 The Demon Whale Sea

"I have no problem with it, and it's a good suggestion."

On the crimson sea, Ice Emperor responded to Yan's suggestion. She had already decided to bind herself to Bai Xiuxiu, so she naturally didn't mind reaching the contract ahead of schedule.

Yan's suggestion was also very reasonable. Bai Xiuxiu had just made a breakthrough in her cultivation and needed to recover. At this time, absorbing the soul bone would bring another round of cultivation improvement, which could easily shake her foundation.

Unlike soul rings, soul bones don't have time limits, so there's no need to rush. As for Xiaobai's earlier anxiety, it was entirely due to worry; now that he's calmed down, he understands that Yan's suggestion was the best one.

They discussed the matter for a while longer and then began to arrange for the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm to come and clean up the mess. This time, in the great battle against the Demon Orca swarm, they not only annihilated their opponents but also suffered no casualties themselves, making it an absolute resounding victory.

The biggest contributor to this was undoubtedly Yan, and he naturally took the lead in the distribution of spoils. All the surviving demonic whales were sealed and transported to Wuhun City by Yan's Flying Dragon Mech, where they will be given to Bibi Dong to enhance the strength of the Wuhun Hall.

As for the remaining corpses, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, they were all immediately given to the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to feast on.

As for the soul rings condensed in mid-air, suitable experts from Seagod Island were arranged to come over. If they could absorb and refine them, they would; otherwise, there was nothing that could be done.

Although Yan was quite skilled in soul tools, he hadn't yet been able to research a device that could preserve soul rings, and could only watch them dissipate helplessly. This pained Yan, who always abhorred waste, and he wasn't very happy even when he teased Bai Xiuxiu at night.

……

On Poseidon Island at night, in a house near the Temple of Poseidon, Yan held the sweaty Bai Xiuxiu in his arms. Although they had just fought a fierce battle, the mere Poseidon girl was no match for him, and she was still full of energy and vigor.

"Xiuxiu, when are you planning to complete your soul contract with the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor?!"

While holding the little beauty in his arms, Yan also set his sights on two ice and snow beauties. Although the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor did not sign a soul contract with him, Bai Xiuxiu was his person.

Bai Xiuxiu often calls him "master." Her little pet's contracted companion is also his, so it's normal for her to be thinking about it and having some expectations, right?

“Master, Sister Bing’er and Sister Xue’er have very high cultivation levels. I still need to work hard to cultivate for the time being.”

Bai Xiuxiu responded obediently. This girl called him Brother Yan in public, and in bed she called him Master directly. It's just that the two of them are both a bit busy now and don't have much time to spend together. This makes Yan miss those days when he rode on his bike during the day and... cough cough.

"Xiuxiu, the next test the Sea God is giving you should involve the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, right?"

Yan casually toyed with Bai Xiuxiu's shimmering hair. He couldn't resist touching the girl's snow-white body, and soon he was tempted to do something naughty again.

"Um... I... I haven't..."

Bai Xiuxiu never expected that someone would go so far. They had only been gentle and affectionate for a short while before they started exercising their master's rights again. It was simply outrageous.

After a long while, Bai Xiuxiu, panting heavily, whispered, "Master, it seems that the Sea God's assessment didn't involve the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Where did you get this information?"

She was almost rendered speechless by Yan's antics, and only after resting for a while did she have time to check the remaining assessment results.

With the completion of the six trials of the Sea God, the remaining three trials were not too difficult. These were to pull out the trident of the Sea God, gain the approval of the High Priestess Poseidon, and finally, the ninth trial of inheritance. These were not difficult for Bai Xiuxiu.

When Yan learned of this situation, he was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that Bai Xiuxiu's test was so different from Tang San's version of the Nine Trials of the Sea God in the original novel. Compared to Tang San, who had to fight to the death with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Bai Xiuxiu's test was much easier.

However, comparing the relative circumstances of both sides, perhaps Bai Xiuxiu's situation is more normal. The divine assessment is for selecting an heir, not for finding a way to kill the heir.

Tang San encountered numerous dangers simply because he wanted to break the rules and leave Seagod Island early. In addition, Poseidon was unwilling to sacrifice herself, and most of the Seven Sacred Pillars were also loyal to Poseidon. That's why Tang San's trials were so troublesome.

As for the final battle against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, that can be considered a benefit given to him by the Sea God, just like Bai Xiuxiu's battle against the Demon Orca pod this time, which was specifically a gift to him.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a million-year-old soul beast. Under normal circumstances, even a level 100 god like Qian Renxue wouldn't have the ability to kill it.

However, the ocean in Douluo Continent is the domain of the Sea God. With his help, even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is just a million-year-old soul beast, or even a true divine beast, it will inevitably die.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King probably foresaw this outcome, so he sent his wife and daughter away first, and later even hid his soul in the soul bone to try to possess Tang San.

Unfortunately, he couldn't outwit the cunning old sea god when it came to scheming and plotting, and ultimately met a miserable end.

Yan, lost in thought, suddenly asked, "Xiuxiu, do you mean that the Sea God isn't going to interfere with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, right?"

"Brother Yan, is there a problem? The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been very well-behaved all these years, just staying in the Demon Whale Sea without causing trouble, but his strength is too great and he is not easy to deal with."

Bai Xiuxiu nestled in Yan's arms. The girl had recovered considerably and no longer called him "master." She whispered, "I think as long as he can inherit the divine position normally, dealing with that Deep Sea Demon Whale King shouldn't be a problem."

"Wow! The future goddess of the ocean, so confident!"

Yan lifted Bai Xiuxiu's smooth, fair chin and teased her with a light laugh. After the two played around for a while, he continued, "Xiuxiu, do you think I'll encounter trouble from the ocean if I go to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

"Brother Yan, are you going to fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

Bai Xiuxiu was startled by Yan's words and was about to offer some advice when Yan spoke again.

“Xiuxiu, I’m just one spirit ring away from advancing further, but as you know, there are very few high-level earth-attribute spirit beasts on the continent. And with my current strength, I don’t really care about ordinary 100,000-year spirit beasts or even ferocious beasts anymore.”

Yan's voice was full of anticipation, "Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there are probably only a handful of ferocious beasts that can interest me. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has nearly a million years of cultivation, making it one of the best targets."

Bai Xiuxiu was speechless after hearing Yan's words, but these were not his true thoughts. Yan did want to assess the abilities of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but he had no intention of making it his ninth spirit ring for his second martial soul.

Yan's own martial soul has two attributes: earth and fire. The earth attribute is fine, but the fire attribute is countered by the water attribute that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is most proficient in. Although that guy's cultivation is high enough, Yan has a better target and is not prepared to settle for it.

His decision to take action against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was based on multiple considerations. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had been cultivating for nearly a million years, and this excellent tonic was something that he could use, but others could. It would be best to have it in his hands.

There was another matter he wanted to confirm, which concerned the situation in the Abyss Plane. In the original Douluo Continent novel, a key element in the Abyss's descent was the priests of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Holy Spirit Cult's leader, the Demon Emperor, was the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, another ferocious beast of a million years.

Of course, she probably doesn't have a million years of cultivation yet, but that's not important. What's important is that Yan needs to confirm whether they have already made contact with the Abyss Plane. If this information is used well, Yan's subsequent plans can proceed more smoothly.

As for why he didn't tell Bai Xiuxiu the truth, it was naturally to find a reasonable excuse. After all, the Abyss Plane is uncertain, and it's not suitable to expose it now.

“Brother Yan, if you’re planning to take action against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, then there’s no problem.”

Bai Xiuxiu nestled obediently in Yan's arms and whispered, "Since the Demonic Orca Clan was wiped out, our Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan has developed rapidly. The coastal areas of the West Sea are all under the control of our Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, and the area surrounding the Demon Whale Sea is our territory."

Ordinary people couldn't possibly attack the Demon Whale Sea, but it wouldn't be a problem for Brother Yan. He could discuss it with his mother and have her lead his brothers and sisters to blockade the Demon Whale Sea, and then no marine creatures would dare to interfere.

Bai Xiuxiu's answer pleased Yan greatly. Since the master was happy, he naturally wanted to reward the little pet. There was still a long time left in the middle of the night, and he could slowly let her know how capable she was.

……

In the Western Sea of ​​Douluo Continent, beyond the Demon Whale Sea, ten-thousand-year-old demon soul great white sharks, each ten meters long, are driving numerous marine creatures away from this area.

This blatant clearing operation made many marine creatures uneasy, but they didn't dare to enter the Demon Whale's territory to inform the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Among the three dominant species in the near sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is actually the most ferocious. The Demon Orca pod only provoked public anger by slaughtering a large number of marine creatures, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King directly devoured all the creatures in the entire sea area. There were hardly any creatures breathing in the vast Demon Whale Sea.

Such a ferocious deep-sea demon whale king naturally had a bad reputation among marine creatures, and no sea spirit beasts tried to help this ferocious beast, so the demon soul great white shark cleared the area very smoothly.

"Kid, if you really want to provoke that guy, why don't you wait until Xiuxiu becomes a god, or have the high priest join in? That way, you'll have a better chance of success."

Surrounded by numerous demonic great white sharks, Bai Xiuxiu and Yan stood on the back of Xiao Bai, who had transformed into a giant white shark. Xiao Bai was trying to persuade Yan, as she, as one of the three overlords of the near sea, knew very well the power of the deep-sea demon whale king and was worried that Yan would make things worse.

Chapter 583 The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King

"It's alright, I don't even consider the mere Deep Sea Demon Whale King a threat."

At the center, surrounded by numerous Demon Soul Great White Sharks, Yan stood confidently on Little White's back, leaving Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King beneath him, speechless.

This Holy Son of the Spirit Hall loves to brag, but even though his daughter has become a Chosen One, she still falls for his act. It's really... Little White helplessly flapped her fins, while on her back, Yan flew into the sky after saying goodbye to Bai Xiuxiu.

A burst of intense yellow light erupted in the sky, followed by a beam of light that descended from the heavens and pierced between the sky and the sea. Amidst the endless radiance, a yellow crystal giant, over a hundred meters tall, crashed into the sea.

With a deafening roar, the massive commotion naturally awakened the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the master of the Demon Whale Sea. A violent tremor suddenly swept out from the deep sea, and Yan, whose feet were radiating light from the ocean, immediately felt a threat coming from below.

Vast areas of the yellowish-brown sea were blasted into fragments, and endless, surging waves crashed violently against the impact. Even giants standing a hundred meters tall on the sea were thrown more than ten meters into the air, their yellowish-brown surfaces undulating incessantly beneath their feet.

Further away, the once calm seawater began to churn violently, and a thick column of water, more than fifteen meters in diameter, shot into the sky, distorting the air and directly bombarding the yellow crystal giant that had been raised by more than ten meters. Clearly, this was intentionally done by the creature beneath the sea.

Yan raised his right hand and waved it, easily shattering the giant wave. Then, a large area of ​​yellow light rippled out, and an area with a diameter of over a thousand meters on the originally turbulent sea surface immediately calmed down.

The sea surface centered on Yan turned completely yellow, as flat and solid as a piece of land in the sea. No matter how many waves that thing under the sea stirred up, it could not affect this place at all.

The creature beneath the sea realized it had met its match and finally revealed itself. Amidst the churning of the seawater, a massive body, resembling a small island, slowly rose from the water.

The moment he appeared, all the surrounding seawater was bathed in a thick blue light, the blue spreading through the void and turning everything into one color. At that moment, it was as if heaven and earth had turned upside down; the blue sky and white clouds were the earth, and the sea had become the azure sky.

The enormous body that emerged from the sea was even larger than the demonic killer whale king they had encountered before, exceeding two hundred meters in length. Its entire body was sapphire-like in color, and it had two huge eyes on its head.

However, where his left eye should have been was just an empty hole over three meters in diameter; he was blind. His remaining right eye was now turned towards the sky, its cold gaze fixed on the flames within the giant's body, on the head of that hundred-meter-tall giant.

After it appeared, it moved slightly, and a large expanse of seawater parted, revealing a huge tail that rose from behind, carrying a distorted blue light, and slammed heavily onto the sea surface. Hundreds of millions of water droplets shot into the sky, and a sudden storm of wind and rain shot towards Yan.

A strange curtain of water, shimmering with blue and purple light, reflected across the sky. Hundreds of millions of water droplets were more terrifying than sharp arrows, threatening to reduce everything in their path to dust.

"Insanity."

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's repeated probing, Yan not only didn't feel valued, but instead felt that this guy was too arrogant, actually using such tricks to deal with him.
