Chapter 475: Surprise Attack, Taken Down in One Go
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, in human form, stood over three meters tall. He had long dark blue hair, and his entire body was covered in armor made of dark purple crystals, making him look incredibly mighty.
"Human, you have completely enraged me."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked expressionlessly at Yu Tianlin and said, "Fine. I have been stuck at the final hurdle for many years. Perhaps your flesh and blood can help me break through."
As he spoke, the massive purple vortex behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King gradually converged, finally floating in front of him and solidifying into a fist sized gem, which embedded itself into the armor on his chest.
Yu Tianlin immediately recognized that this gem was likely formed from the blowhole on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's true body.
Although it contained immense energy, it was also the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's weakness.
After transforming into human form, a purple halo suddenly rippled from the gem on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's chest.
As the purple light swept across, the surrounding space instantly solidified.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King seized this opportunity to charge directly at Yu Tianlin.
This was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain skill, capable of effectively restricting opponents.
Yu Tianlin immediately felt a sense of his physical body being bound.
However, this was not a problem for Yu Tianlin.
His Divine Rank physical body erupted with an incredibly powerful force, directly shattering the feeling of restraint.
He swung a dragon claw fiercely at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had already rushed before him.
It was evident that a hint of astonishment flashed across the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face at Yu Tianlin's actions, but his reaction was also swift.
Vortices gathered in his hands, and he clapped them back toward Yu Tianlin.
After a single clash, both men retreated rapidly.
"Divine Rank physical body?!"
Quickly halting his retreat, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King uttered these words.
His Domain's surprise attack just now would have solidified even a demigod's body for an instant, yet Yu Tianlin had moved as if completely unaffected.
This clearly indicated that his physical strength had already surpassed that of a demigod, proving it to be a true Divine Rank physical body.
In the clash just now, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had also confirmed this point.
"You're not bad either."
Yu Tianlin slowly spoke.
If he himself now possessed a true Divine Rank physical body, then ninety nine percent of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's physical body had also transformed to Divine Rank, only a hair's breadth away from being truly Divine Rank.
Achieving a true Divine Rank physical body was not easy.
Yu Tianlin was simply lucky, with the blessings of numerous heaven-defying Spirit Bones, allowing him to reach this level.
Someone like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who could only rely on himself, had tempered his physical body for so many years, yet still could not break through that barrier.
However, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was slightly inferior to Yu Tianlin in terms of physical strength, he surpassed Yu Tianlin significantly in terms of energy.
That was why their clash just now ended in a draw.
Their mental force levels were the same. Yu Tianlin's physical body was stronger, while the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy level was stronger.
Therefore, if they did not rely on external objects, their overall strength was essentially equal.
They were well matched opponents.
"Divine Rank physical body. Very good. Excellent!"
After a brief moment of shock, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gaze toward Yu Tianlin immediately turned greedy.
"If I devour you, it might truly help me break through that barrier."
If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's feelings toward Yu Tianlin had merely been anger before, now that anger had transformed into covetousness.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had actually cultivated to his limit long ago, but he lacked the confidence to pass the final Heavenly Tribulation, which was why he remained stuck before the Divine Rank.
If his physical body could reach the Divine Rank level, his confidence in passing the final Heavenly Tribulation would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Immediately, a colossal phantom of the Deep Sea Demon Whale appeared behind him.
Purple light surged from his body, then converged upon his hands, forming two dark purple eight edged plum blossom hammers.
With the twin hammers in hand, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's aura immediately soared.
He let out a loud roar and charged toward Yu Tianlin.
Yu Tianlin responded with his dragon claws.
At his current realm, even without a weapon, his dragon claws could rival any weapon and would not be inferior to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pair of eight edged plum blossom hammers.
However, despite being equally matched in theory, Yu Tianlin found himself at a disadvantage under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attacks, occasionally being sent flying backward by the two large hammers.
Witnessing this, the Snow Empress, who had been quietly observing from a distance, could not help curling her lips.
"That idiot actually lost his temper. Didn't he notice that he's getting farther and farther from the sea?"
Indeed, although Yu Tianlin was occasionally sent flying backward by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attacks, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had not noticed that every time Yu Tianlin was sent flying, his position would subtly rise a little higher.
Originally, they had been fighting at an altitude of five hundred meters above the sea, but now the battle altitude had increased by about a thousand meters and was still gradually rising.
A thousand meters... that should be enough.
While fending off the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attacks, Yu Tianlin calculated silently and felt that he could make his move.
At this altitude, if he suddenly launched an attack, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would not be able to instantly return to the sea.
With his plan decided, Yu Tianlin did not hesitate in the slightest.
Eight colored light surged throughout his body, and the ancient eight colored dragon horn appeared on his head.
"This is..."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had been swinging his hammers in attack, instantly had a drastic change in expression.
He felt an intense sense of danger from the suddenly appearing eight colored dragon horn.
Divine Artifact!
It's definitely a Divine Artifact!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared wildly in his heart, while his physical body moved rapidly, diving directly toward the sea below.
He believed that as long as he could plunge into the sea, even if Yu Tianlin possessed a Divine Artifact, Yu Tianlin would absolutely be unable to harm him.
Unfortunately, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's actions were very decisive, his speed was clearly not as fast as the eight colored dragon horn.
As he dived to a position only two or three hundred meters from the sea, under Yu Tianlin's control, the eight colored dragon horn shot forward like a streak of light.
It arrived later, yet reached first.
It directly pierced through the two eight edged plum blossom hammers he had held in front of him and stopped before the dark purple gem embedded in his chest armor.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's dive came to an abrupt halt.
Under the illumination of the eight colored dragon horn's light, several tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the gem on his chest.
This gem was the strongest part of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body after transforming into human form, but it was also his weakness.
If this gem were completely shattered, it would mean his demise.
Even with just a few cracks appearing now, it was already somewhat dangerous for him.
"Don't move around. I don't want to kill you, so you'd best cooperate a bit."
Just then, Yu Tianlin's voice came from a distance.
"Fly upward. Increase the distance from the sea."
