Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Of course, I'm not speaking up for it. To us soul beasts, the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is undoubtedly very evil because they generally devour marine creatures, that is, sea soul beasts, to increase their own strength. But the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is beneficial to humans because it keeps this sea in a state of relative peace."

"In that case, I think I understand that the sea god only blinded one of its eyes, rather than directly annihilating the deep-sea demon whale clan that relied on devouring other sea spirit beasts for survival."

“If something exists, it must have its reasons. I didn’t understand it before, but after following you, Xiaoqing, for so many years, I have gradually come to understand that everything is mutually reinforcing and restraining. Today, you killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which is definitely a good thing for the creatures in this sea area, but it may not be a good thing for humans.”

"Sister Ayin, if I release the tiger back to the mountain and let this million-year-old sea spirit beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, go free, wouldn't that be bad for your spirit beast race in the long run?"

"Xiaoqing, you're so innocent! Do you really expect a tiger and a rabbit to be friends? Or do you expect a whale and a blade of grass to be friends?"

"Sister Ayin, if I didn't mishear, are you calling me stupid?"

"Xiaoqing, don't worry about these details. The relationships between our soul beast race are far more complex than those between you humans. A tiger, a ferocious beast, can never be friends with a rabbit unless they secretly covet her body."

As Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin spoke, Dong Qing barely managed to lift his head from her embrace and looked at the million-year-old sea spirit beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not far away.

After much deliberation.

He still managed to release the hundredfold gravity suppression from the gravity field, sparing the life of this million-year-old sea spirit beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Everything exists for a reason. The city of destruction and slaughter... Tang San, the evil soul masters who will proliferate in later generations, you deserve to die!"

While cursing Tang San in his heart, Dong Qing couldn't help but feel that it was good that the guy died.

.........

Chapter 579, One punch severely injures, two punches are fatal.

Half an hour passed.

Blue Silver Emperor A Yin's emotions returned to normal, and his transformed form returned to Dong Qing's chest.

Actually, she didn't want to be so emotional, but pregnant women are naturally more sensitive, and that older woman [Lan Fuzi] just now liked to reopen old wounds, which made her unable to control her sadness.

Having just dealt with Blue Silver Emperor A Yin's emotions, Dong Qing was about to go into the sea to continue his deep-sea body tempering for the day, which was also the reason why he came to the Demon Whale Sea.

As for the incident of smashing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it was just a very insignificant little episode.

Perhaps for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Today was a very harrowing day for it. It barely managed to survive from Dongqing's clutches. This day would be etched in its memory for tens of thousands of years to come.

Although it was cruel, that's how some things are. What was an incredibly profound day for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was just a trivial interlude for Dong Qing himself.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King valued his life and fortune more than anything else, but the single tear in the eye of Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was worth even less.

However, just as Dongqing entered the sea, two slender and graceful figures followed closely behind him, about five meters away.

Dong Qing didn't even bother to turn his head, knowing that the people behind him were the mature and beautiful woman [Demon Emperor] and the youthful older sister [Blue Buddha], a mother and daughter whose true forms were 100,000-year-old deep-sea demon whales.

The terms "100,000-year-old soul beast" and "100,000-year-old soul ring" are just general terms; the soul power cultivation level and the age of the soul ring are not necessarily 100,000 years.

Just like Dong Qing's sixth spirit ring, this spirit ring has an ultimate spirit ring age of 999,999 years.

However, if it cannot break through the one million year limit of the soul ring, then it will always be a one hundred thousand year soul ring, and at most the soul skills it produces will be extremely close to a one million year soul skill.

This is also why Dongqing's sixth soul skill, the Burning Heaven and Scorching Sun Fist, is so terrifying.

One punch can cause serious injury, two punches can be fatal, and three punches can send someone straight to their death.

Moreover, after the relatively unknown support-type titled Douluo, Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, used a percentage-based support-type soul skill to amplify Dong Qing's soul power and soul skill power.

This is why Dong Qing could crush a million-year-old sea spirit beast with just his soul power and soul skills, without even using his terrifying physical strength.

As for the mature and beautiful woman [Demon Emperor] and the youthful older sister [Blue Buddha], don't be fooled by their apparent weakness in front of Dong Qing; they are not simply 100,000-year-old sea spirit beasts.

Their strength far surpasses that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. One has 700,000 years of soul power cultivation, and the other has 300,000 years of soul power cultivation. Both are terrifying ferocious beasts capable of devouring a cute little girl like Xiao Wu in one gulp.

Their true forms are deep-sea demon whales, making them the absolute rulers of this ocean.

This ensured that the number of sea spirit beasts in the ocean did not exceed one order of magnitude, while also protecting all humans in coastal cities from the disasters caused by an overabundance of sea spirit beasts.

As for the Great White Shark Clan, including its patriarch Bai Xiuxiu, in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, they were nothing more than a lucky race that had received the protection of the first Sea God.

........

In the Demon Whale Sea, at a depth of 500 meters, atop a scorched rock.

For most people, even wearing a heavy diving suit and descending to a depth of 500 meters in the ocean, gazing at the endless darkness below, they would feel an indescribable fear of the deep sea.

This fear from the deep sea makes you feel like you're in a confined space, unable to escape no matter how hard you try, surrounded by seawater—a feeling that's indescribable.

Most importantly, the ocean is unfathomable, harboring many terrifying creatures unknown to humankind. For those who cannot swim, the deep sea is more like a terrifying, dark abyss.

However, for Dongqing...

This so-called fear of the deep sea has absolutely no impact on anything.

He was completely calm, gazing at the bottomless dark abyss below, utterly unconcerned about the unease it brought, even though countless deep-sea monsters were silently watching him from below.

Just now.

A mature and beautiful woman, the Demon Emperor, approached and stood close to Dong Qing, her gaze coldly fixed on the dark abyss below. She knew that those things were mindless thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts.

These ancient sea spirit beasts resemble octopuses, with each tentacle measuring hundreds of meters in length. Although their spirit power level is not high, they reproduce at an astonishing rate, with tens of millions of them being bred every year.

This is just one example. Many sea spirit beasts with low spirit power levels but extremely fast reproduction rates are basically cleaned up by spirit beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale, which act as cleaners.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is a nightmare for these sea spirit beasts, but for humans, it is they who have maintained the peace of the ocean for thousands of years.

Of course, inevitably, during the process of the deep-sea whale clan devouring and hunting,

They may also inadvertently devour human soul masters who hunt soul beasts at sea, but compared to the sea soul beasts they devour, the number of humans they inadvertently devour is less than one in a billion.

"Master...should I devour them whole? So that these mindless creatures won't bother you."

The mature and beautiful woman, the Demon Emperor, crouched down, trying to keep herself the same height as Dong Qing, before leaning forward and whispering in his ear.

Dong Qing turned his head away and ignored her. He was studying the first level of the Undying Scripture, the Undying Skin, and the precautions for deep-sea body tempering. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with her.

"Mom, we... there's no need to do that. The soul power fluctuations emitted by Prince Dongqing... Master just now actually frightened them. Even if we kill them now, they definitely won't dare to come and cause trouble." The young lady [Lan Fuzi] said with a heavy heart.

Seeing that Dong Qing was ignoring her, a hint of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the mature and beautiful woman [Demon Emperor], but there was nothing she could do. She dared not provoke this little demon king who was capable of killing a million-year-old sea spirit beast with a single punch.

She could only begin educating her own daughter, the teenage older sister [Lan Fuzi].

“Ah Lan, although you are exceptionally talented and have 300,000 years of soul power cultivation at a young age, you do not know how to use your racial talent to accelerate your soul power growth. I’m afraid that in tens of thousands of years, you will not even be able to reach my current soul power cultivation level.”

"Moreover, killing is not as evil as you imagine, especially between different races. Killing tends to be righteous. There is a saying among humans that goes, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.'"

"Just because everyone is called a Sea Soul Beast, or belongs to the Soul Beast category, does that mean our Deep Sea Demon Whale clan must treat these Sea Soul Beasts, who only know how to reproduce and have no brains at all, as our own?"

"Ah Lan, do you know what you're doing?"

"What you're doing now is like asking humans to treat all those domestic animals like chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, and fish as fellow members of their own kind, trying to persuade them not to eat meat and to just eat seaweed like you do."

Speaking of it.

The mature and beautiful woman, the Demon Emperor, was also speechless. She couldn't understand why her daughter, the youthful older sister, Lan Fuzi, couldn't accept the practice of devouring other races of sea spirit beasts.

It's just a meal. You don't like eating meat, but you want to forbid others from eating meat. If she weren't your own daughter, she would be ready to hit you right now.

"Mom, I just... I didn't... I just... I don't like seeing the soul beast race fighting amongst themselves, only to have humans benefit from it all in the end." The young and beautiful older sister, [Blue Buddha], said somewhat hesitantly.

Hearing her say that, Dong Qing, who had been sitting on the rock wall studying the first level of the Undying Scripture, the Undying Skin, which involved deep-sea body tempering, completely ignored the mother and daughter.

At this moment, he could no longer bear it. He could tolerate his grandmother, but not his aunt. This kind of vegetarian-like existence made him feel as if he had returned to the Super God Universe.

At that time, he couldn't help but argue with vegetarians online because he was disgusted by these weirdos who didn't eat meat themselves and didn't allow others to eat meat.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Suddenly, a white lotus lamp appeared above Dongqing's head, emitting a faint, warm white light that isolated him from the surrounding seawater and created a three-meter by three-meter open space on a rocky cliff five hundred meters below the seabed.

no way.

Dong Qing didn't want to use his free microphone [mental communication], and he couldn't speak underwater, so he could only speak normally by summoning the Lotus Lantern; otherwise, seawater would rush in as soon as he opened his mouth.

The sound of gentle slapping rang out.

Under the questioning gazes of the mother and daughter, Dong Qing said coldly, "What an idiotic woman. For your Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, devouring the sea spirit beasts of other races in this sea area is just eating. It's not cannibalism. You don't eat them yourself, but you won't let others eat them either. I really... seeing someone like you makes me angry."

It's not surprising that he was angry.

Animals have life, but plants don't?

These vegetarians preach a seemingly coherent theory of vegetarianism, but in reality, they don't truly regard plants as living beings.

Are we taking advantage of their inability to speak? Or are we taking advantage of their inability to bleed and cry? Or perhaps, we are simply selectively ignoring this fundamental issue.

Most living beings in the world, from the moment they are born between heaven and earth, are inherently eating smaller ones, and smaller ones eating even smaller ones. As long as they do not eat their own kind, they are not inherently wrong.

Tigers eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and grass eats their carcasses.

All of this is a natural cycle, an interpretation of the principles of heaven and earth.

"I... Your Highness Dongqing... Master, I am yours now, why are you saying this to me!" The youthful older sister [Lan Fuzi] said aggrievedly.

She is simple-minded and easily deceived. Even though she is not young, she has been protected by the mature and beautiful woman [Demon Emperor] since childhood, and is ignorant about many things.

Otherwise.

In that future timeline that has completely disappeared, she would not fall in love with the enemy who killed her own mother, nor would she choose to sacrifice her own life for him.

of course.

You could say she's stupid, that she's love-struck, or that she's an unfilial daughter.

"I really don't want to talk to you anymore. Every time I say something to you, you get all wronged, as if I've done something bad to you."

Done.

Dong Qing turned away and continued studying the first level of the Undying Scripture, the Undying Skin, in his mind. He couldn't be bothered with the woman who always put on a pitiful expression.

Upon witnessing this scene.

The mature and beautiful woman, the Demon Emperor, immediately brightened up. She brazenly walked to Dong Qing's side again and whispered, "Master, A Lan is just still immature, and I don't feel comfortable letting her travel alone in the human world."

"If you teach her more in the future, Master, I believe that with her intelligence, she will definitely understand that for humans and most soul beast races, eating other races is just an ordinary thing."

Dong Qing glanced at the mature and beautiful woman beside him, the Demon Emperor.

He hadn't intended to speak, but seeing the woman's expectant eyes, even knowing she was acting, he couldn't help but say something in the end.

"She's hopeless. This kind of person is just mentally unstable. I don't have time for her, and I'm too lazy to teach her. By the way, don't get so close to me." Dong Qing said this calmly.

next second.
