Human transformation!
This also announced that the second round of battle between them was about to begin!
The next second, the layer of blue-purple crystals that had condensed on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body burst opened, and a massive blue-purple vortex instantly formed in mid-air.
The shattered crystals were like sharp blades, filled with powerful cutting force, possessing both water and lightning attributes.
These crystals were actually the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Nuclei, a dual Soul Nucleus of water and lightning attributes.
The power of the two great Soul Nuclei rapidly contracted, intensely squeezing and continuously compressing in violent rotation, ultimately transforming this energy into the purest energy armor!
The terrifying energy contained within armor condensed and compressed from a million-year-level of energy was unimaginable.
Even Shi Quan's divine soul could barely see through the core energy within it.
It wasn't that Shi Quan didn't have an opportunity to interrupt this compression and condensation process, but if he were to rashly interrupt it, the million-year-old power compressed to its extreme would instantly become chaotic.
Not to mention whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could survive, Shi Quan himself would suffer extremely severe injuries.
"Kid, you've angered me."
The blue-purple light converged, and a middle-aged man with an ancient face appeared in mid-air.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you couldn't gain an advantage in your home territory, and now you've transformed into a human and come into the air, losing your geographical advantage.
What makes you think you'll win?"
Shi Quan's voice was calm, and the man and the whale stood in confrontation in the air, their gases unwavering.
"And I have armor too!"
After a slight pause, Shi Quan's voice resonated again as he surveyed the energy-condensed armor on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.
Black and white intertwined armor emerged on Shi Quan's body, enveloping him, magnificent, grand, and majestic.
"Then let's see whose armor is harder, yours or mine!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a low roar, suddenly raising his right hand, and purple orbs of light appeared around his body.
In just an instant, they densely covered an area of several hundred square meters.
Each orb of light locked onto Shi Quan, and the massive energy fluctuations instantly turned the sky on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's side purple, and it was even slightly twisting.
A piercing sound of rushing air erupted; from condensation to emission, in just a single breath's time, the tens of thousands of purple light orbs had already smashed towards Shi Quan like a meteor shower.
Their speed could only be described as lightning fast.
Although he couldn't win the energy contest, when he came to the sheer abundance of his own energy, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feared no one or any beast!
Even Di Tian was slightly inferior to him!
Shi Quan had no intention of dodging, his powerful Divine Thought directly spread out, and with a raised hand, streaks of dark flowing light instantly flew out.
Strangely enough, the moment these flowing lights touched the purple orbs, the purple orbs instantly collapsed and then exploded with a loud bang.
Boom boom boom!
The purple orbs exploded one after another in the air!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression shifted slightly.
He had intended to rely on his advantageous energy and the explosive power of his lightning-attribute attacks to blast Shi Quan to death.
However, these lightning beads exploded directly before even reaching Shi Quan, greatly reducing their power.
He noticed that the dark flowing light energy wasn't powerful, but the moment his lightning beads came into contact, the flowing light seemed to contain a distorting gravity that directly caused the stable power within these lightning beads to collapse and then explode.
How exquisitely profound must one's mental strength be to wield spiritual power with such ingenuity?
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't help but be started, and in that brief moment of surprise, all the lightning beads in mid-air had already exploded, once again revealing Shi Quan, who was enveloped in a verdant green protective shield.
Although the momentum was astonishing, these lightning beads didn't even make contact, so the offensive they caused was naturally limited, and in the end, they didn't inflict any damage on Shi Quan.
The moment Shi Quan was revealed, a blue giant Dragon, enveloped in a golden light, flew out from amidst the lightning!
Life Dragon Soul! This was precisely the Spirit Ability that the Sky Azure Bull Python brought to Shi Quan, and at the same time, it also incorporated the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan and the gravity control amplification from the Titan Giant Ape Spirit Bone.
"Break for me!"
A massive purple light emerged from behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Looking at the Azure Dragon ferociously attacking him, the purple light transformed into a gigantic Deep Sea Demon Whale phantom.
As his fist slammed out, the phantom's enormous head crashed forward with immense force.
Boom—, the gigantic whale head fiercely collided with the Azure Dragon.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's accumulated energy from a million years was undoubtedly enormous.
The moment the fist and Dragon met, the huge Azure Dragon surrounding the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan instantly dissipated.
But how could the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan, which had absorbed massive Power Of Faith, be so easily obstructed?
Nourished by the Power Of Faith, the Xuanyuan Dragon Spine had already become a Divine Artifact.
Its sharp blade directly pierced through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's armor.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's reaction and combat experience were undoubtedly rich.
The moment a sharp pain came from his fist, he threw another punch, directly blasting the Xuanyuan Dragon Spine away.
"It's actually a Divine Artifact!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's shock intensified, then he roared, "Don't think you can defeat me just because you have a Divine Artifact!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw that while Shi Quan's spirit power was not as profound as his own, his application of it was extremely subtle.
Coupled with this powerful Divine Artifact, winning with a long-range energy advantage was almost impossible, especially since Shi Quan was continuously absorbing the power of the sea to replenish himself.
A resounding long cry erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth, and a massive Deep Sea Demon Whale phantom emerged, accompanied by a stream of white Qi like a bolt of silk.
"Dan Qi?"
With a raised hand, as the Xuanyuan Dragon Spine rapidly flew back, a vertical demonic pattern appeared between Shi Quan's eyebrows.
Blood light brewed, and the next second, the blood light transformed into a crimson beam of light that flew directly towards the white Qi!
external Spirit Bone Evil Eye, Spirit Ability, Light of Destruction!
Boom—
The crimson light beam directly enveloped the white Qi, melting everything in its path.
The Dan Qi spat from his mouth was forcefully melted by Shi Quan's Light of Destruction, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body also swayed violently, a hint of bloodlust flashing in his eyes, clearly affected.
He had thought the Divine Artifact was Shi Quan's trump card, but he never expected Shi Quan to possess such a powerful destructive Spirit Ability.
An enraged roar erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mouth, but he could only roar in futility.
Seeing his Dan Qi destroyed, he could only settle for the next best thing: the enormous Deep Sea Demon Whale phantom behind him condensed into a massive orb of light, then detached from his main body, instantly transforming into two gigantic purple war hammers!
Since he couldn't gain an advantage in long-range attrition, he decisively chose close-quarters combat.
He had originally intended to infuse his Dan Qi into these purple war hammers to enhance their power, making them strong enough to contend with the Divine Might of a Divine Artifact.
However, Shi Quan seemed to have read his mind, forcefully erasing his Dan Qi and rendering his elaborate plan useless!
Now, he could only settle for the next best thing: integrating his own power into giant hammers, fully containing his energy, and flying towards Shi Quan at extreme speed.
"Close-quarters combat is your most mistaken choice!"
Shi Quan's eyes burst with brilliant light, and his figure flashed, catching up, the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand gleaming with golden light.
As the two were about to collide, Shi Quan's body flickered like an illusion.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King only felt a blur before his eyes, and Shi Quan had already appeared at his side, the Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand slashing diagonally, its sharp blade already at his waist.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King stood his ground, letting Shi Quan's Xuanyuan cut towards his waist, and swung the purple giant hammers high, smashing them fiercely towards Shi Quan's chest.
How could Shi Quan not see through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's intentions?
Knowing that his weapon was at a disadvantage, a head-on clash would naturally put him at a disadvantage.
With his Spirit Beast's powerful physical strength advantage, he chose to exchange injuries, wanting to see who could last until the end.
Just as Shi Quan said, close-quarters combat was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's most mistaken choice!
The Xuanyuan longsword lifted upwards, instantly erupting with a powerful gravitational pull.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly felt a strange force forcibly diverting his two hammers.
After the sharp blade made a scratch on the giant hammer, the blade quickly moved towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gripping hand.
The sound of metal clashing echoed, and the armor on his palm erupted with sparks of exploding energy.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly swung the other hammer towards Shi Quan.
The agile and sharp Xuanyuan long blade immediately drew a graceful arc in the air.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pair of purple giant hammers had no technique whatsoever; their only strength lay in their sheer force and weight.
In front of Shi Quan, a master of martial arts, it was undoubtedly like a child brandishing a knife and spear in front of him, completely showing off one's incompetence before an expert.
Every move, in Shi Quan's eyes, was full of flaws!
"Give up, you are no match for me!"
The sharp blade slashed again, and after only three short exchanges, fresh red blood dripped from his right hand, and Shi Quan directly disarmed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's purple giant hammer in his right hand.
"Damn it!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes grew fiercer.
"Hmph!"
With a loud cry, his body erupted with intense purple light, "Demonic Abyss Roaring Sea!"
Terrifying energy exploded, and the surrounding purple-gold light instantly erupted like a geyser, attempting to forcefully create distance between himself and Shi Quan.
In the previous confrontation, he could still hold his ground to some extent, but in close-quarters combat, he was completely and utterly crushed from beginning to end.
Life Guard Shield!
A verdant green light shield appeared around Shi Quan, nullifying the rampant energy, while the Sacred Dragon Eight Wings behind him burst forth with brilliant radiance.
At the same time, his left leg erupted with dark green light, which instantly transformed into branches that bound the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
"Domain Ability, Instant Eternity!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was just about to retreat, suddenly felt the energy circulation within his body abruptly halted.
The next second, a brilliant golden light tower through the energy tide, sweeping past his neck.
Intense pain instantly assailed his body, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King subconsciously clutched his neck.
"I held back," Shi Quan's voice came, "otherwise, your other eye would also be blind."
"Shut up!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared in anger; how could his arrogant self be willing to lose to a young human like this?
Purple lightning arcs crackled around him.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I know you're unwilling, but this battle should come to an end."
As he spoke, a vast figure materialized from the ethereal light behind Shi Quan, and a terrifying mental force pressure erupted from the Xuanyuan Dragon Spine in Shi Quan's hand.
"To be honest with you, my Soul has already achieved Divine Rank, and my Martial Spirit has also Cultivated to its limit.
The only difference between you and me is the accumulation of spiritual power.
In all other aspects, I am no weaker than you, and even stronger.
The Blue Silver Emperor Tree Martial Spirit I fought you with is not even my strongest Martial Spirit."
"Do you think you still have the capital to contend with me?"
With a raised hand, powerful divine soul force permeated the air, and a brilliant golden demonic pattern vertical eye appeared between his eyebrows.
Fate's Lament!
Soul Deprivation!
These two Spirit Abilities were precisely the Spirit Abilities brought by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Deprive physical defense, deprive Soul defense.
"Damn it!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gritted his teeth, quickly turned, and flashed away to dodge, while simultaneously diving into the deep sea.
Because of the Martial Spirit switch, the sea of vines in the ocean had disappeared.
If he entered the sea, he would still have a chance to resist!
Powerful divine soul force locked onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and two brilliant golden lights instantly enveloped him.
"Ah!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a painful roar.
The powerful mental force pressure instantly made the Deep Sea Demon Whale King feel a splitting headache.
His entire body exuded an unprecedented feeling of weakness, as if his spirit power-condensed armor had vanished, and his Soul was trembling even more.
Solidified mental force emerged in Shi Quan's eyes, and an unprecedented sense of deadly crisis instantly permeated the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's chest, sending shivers down his spine.
He had a premonition that he would not be able to withstand Shi Quan's mental attack.
"I surrender!"
In the face of Life-or-death crisis, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally uttered these three words in despair.
The surging mental force solidified, then slowly dissipated.
Shi Quan withdrew his divine soul force and said to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, "A bet is a bet, Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you should know what to do next."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked up at Shi Quan's slowly descending figure, his gauze complex.
"Lost is lost."
I will abide by the wager.
"This is the method for the evolution of a soul spirit.
At that time, I will hide in the shadows and not show myself.
You yourself will transform your power into a soul spirit and then become the power of my loved one.
This should not be difficult for you."
Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could autonomously transform into a soul spirit, so it wouldn't be difficult for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, with his strength, to achieve this.
"No problem."
After receiving the message Shi Quan transmitted, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also nodded in agreement.
Life energy emerged, helping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King fully recover from his internal injuries, and the surrounding sky also returned to normal.
"Lie low."
In the future, you will be glad I gave you this choice, and you will understand what kind of opportunity this is for you."
With that, Shi Quan's figure also vanished from his original spot.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at the departing Shi Quan, his expression complex, "Perhaps he really can lead the World to a higher level."
Accompanied by a long cry, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King once again transformed into his massive form, crashing into the sea surface, stirring up countless turbulent waves, and then quietly submerged into the deep sea.
No one or Spirit Beast knew that such a fierce battle had just erupted in this sea area...
