Chapter 474: Luring the Whale Out to Sea
"I don't mean anything else."
Yu Tianlin smiled slightly in response to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's question and said, "I just heard that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has profound cultivation and is only a step away from becoming a Deity. So, I assume your Spirit Ring must be extraordinary as well."
"You're after my Spirit Ring?"
Hearing Yu Tianlin covet his Spirit Ring, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was not immediately angry. Instead, he asked with some confusion, "I can sense that you should be rank 97, right?"
The implication was clear.
With your current cultivation, aren't your nine Spirit Rings already full? Why would you want my Spirit Ring?
"That's right. My nine Spirit Rings are already full."
Yu Tianlin nodded.
"However, I know that human Spirit Masters need to attach a tenth Spirit Ring to break through to rank 100."
Yu Tianlin was, of course, talking nonsense.
He was just looking for an excuse to fight.
After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King definitely could not be persuaded to cooperate with his plan, so he still had to beat him into submission.
"You want to use my Spirit Ring to help you become a Deity?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately laughed.
"That's impossible."
Twenty thousand years ago, he had personally witnessed how a human broke through to the Deity level, so he knew that Yu Tianlin's idea was fundamentally wrong and absolutely could not succeed.
"That's not necessarily true."
Yu Tianlin was noncommittal.
"Regardless, you just need to offer your Spirit Ring."
"What arrogance!"
Originally, he had not wanted to bother with Yu Tianlin, but Yu Tianlin's repeated talk of "Spirit Ring" and "offering" finally angered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
After a low roar, an unparalleled surge of immense energy erupted from his head.
At that moment, nine bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the vast dark clouds that had gathered because of his appearance.
The nine purple lightning bolts were all incredibly massive, each as thick as a water vat, and struck directly at Yu Tianlin.
As a Sea Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not only possessed the Water Attribute, but also mastered the Thunder Attribute.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was shrewd.
Seeing Yu Tianlin hovering in the air, he knew that Yu Tianlin was constantly on guard against him mobilizing the power of the sea to launch an attack from below.
So, he directly did the opposite, using the Thunder Attribute to draw heavenly lightning to strike from above, hoping to seize the initiative in the upcoming battle.
It had to be said that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's plan was quite good.
But attacking Yu Tianlin with lightning...
That was completely showing off in front of an expert, like displaying a sword in front of Guan Yu.
Even if he had recently gained some of the Dragon God's abilities, Yu Tianlin was still most familiar with the power of the Thunder God.
Sensing the nine lightning bolts striking toward him, Yu Tianlin's mind moved.
Just as the nine lightning bolts were about to hit him, their trajectory slightly shifted, causing them to brush past his body.
Not only that, Yu Tianlin also added something to them.
The originally purple lightning began to glow with a faint golden light. Then, the nine bolts converged into one, concentrating all their power before striking down directly at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King floating on the surface of the sea.
Although his attack had backfired, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's reaction was extremely swift.
Intense blue-purple light surged, instantly enveloping his massive body and condensing into a layer of strange blue-purple crystal.
Under the protection of the blue-purple crystal, the giant purple-gold lightning bolt enhanced by Yu Tianlin did not strike the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body. Instead, it was blocked.
After blocking the lightning, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately counterattacked, thrashing violently in the sea.
His massive body instantly leaped from the surface of the sea, and his tail swung toward Yu Tianlin.
Blue-purple energy surged out from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tail in a fan shape, sweeping toward Yu Tianlin.
Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, demonstrating the immense energy contained in this strike.
Facing this attack from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Yu Tianlin slowly raised his right dragon claw, which was imbued with seven colored light, directly using the Dragon God Claw.
A low dragon roar sounded toward the sky.
Behind Yu Tianlin, a giant seven colored dragon shadow appeared, truly possessing some of the Dragon God's might.
Yu Tianlin made a grasping motion in the air, and a giant seven colored dragon claw appeared out of nowhere.
It instantly crushed the fan shaped blue-purple energy attack coming toward him, then continued to attack the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
This strike from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was just a normal attack, while Yu Tianlin had used Dragon God Claw, a powerful move.
Breaking it was clearly not a problem.
However, this strike from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also weakened a great deal of the Dragon God Claw's energy.
He then immediately sprayed out a giant blue light pillar from the blowhole on his back, completely neutralizing Yu Tianlin's Dragon God Claw.
The man and the whale, one in the air and one in the sea, exchanged several rounds of blows, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Yu Tianlin did not immediately take out the eight colored dragon horn because he was not confident in killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the sea.
So, it was better not to use it yet, lest he scare the Deep Sea Demon Whale King into hiding in the sea and refusing to fight.
He now needed to lure the Deep Sea Demon Whale King out of the sea. Only then could he use the power of the eight colored dragon horn to deliver the decisive blow.
With the intention of luring him out, Yu Tianlin merely fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to a stalemate, constantly drawing heavenly lightning to attack.
Although this caused no real harm, it was extremely insulting.
After all, the dense clouds in the sky had all been summoned by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but Yu Tianlin was now using the lightning in those clouds to attack him.
This act of doing work for someone else was hard not to ignite his anger.
After shattering another lightning bolt, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw Yu Tianlin standing in the air, refusing to come down, and finally could not take it anymore.
You won't come down?
Fine!
Then I'll go up!
As the absolute king of the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had only suffered a setback from the Sea God twenty thousand years ago. At any other time, he did whatever he wanted.
How could he tolerate Yu Tianlin continuing this way?
Centered on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a large area of the surrounding sea surged violently, finally forming a giant blue-purple whirlpool with a diameter of over ten thousand meters.
In the center of the whirlpool, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's two hundred meter long body rapidly shrank.
As his size changed, the immense energy within him was violently compressed.
Not long after, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body disappeared, replaced by a humanoid figure over three meters tall.
"Finally transformed into human form?"
Seeing this scene, Yu Tianlin could not help narrowing his eyes.
A massive body was not suitable for close combat.
Now that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had transformed into human form, he was clearly preparing to rush out of the sea and fight Yu Tianlin.
But I can't rush.
I'll raise my altitude later, making him even farther from the sea to be safe.
