At this moment, the terrifying Bone Dragon above the sky was like a true dragon emerging from the abyss, soaring through the heavens, wandering freely, and rising to the highest peaks! Endless power condensed within the Bone Dragon's mouth; it was a blend of eight fearsome elements, a power of annihilation sufficient to defy all order.
"Primordial Annihilation Wave!"
The Orca King's skill also suddenly manifested as a hundred-meter giant axe—it was none other than the Evil Spirit Orca Axe!
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's stun was about to end, a pillar of annihilation light erupted from the Bone Dragon's mouth. Simultaneously, the earth-shattering giant axe fell, and the killing array formed by the Sword-Dragon Eight Wings descended at the same time.
'I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!!'
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's terror reached its peak. It truly felt the crisis of life and death, and the soul power within its body circulated frantically. At the very instant it successfully condensed its soul power, the endless attacks fell.
*Boom! Boom!! Boom!!*
"Argh!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a mournful wail. The head struck by the annihilation pillar was nearly half obliterated, its massive tail was severed by the giant axe, and the killing array pierced its remaining eye.
The whale emitted a world-shaking cry of agony, releasing its resentment and pain. However... it did not die!
"Human! I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!" The remnant body of the whale actually let out a thunderous roar. Terrifying energy began to condense, followed by an explosion.
That's right—it intended to self-detonate! The previous attacks had left its body crippled. Although it could use its devouring ability to recover, it didn't have that much time. To avoid becoming Gu Xuan's meal and plaything, this deep-sea overlord, who had dominated the ocean for countless years, resolutely chose to self-detonate! It intended to take Gu Xuan down with it!
Yet Gu Xuan showed not a hint of panic. Instead, he became even more confident—an absolute confidence in his own strength.
"Seeking to break the net while the fish dies? A pity. The fish will certainly die, but the net will definitely not break."
Accompanied by Gu Xuan's murmur, a surge of golden light suddenly erupted from the Bone Dragon's surface. Simultaneously, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt as if the space surrounding it had been frozen. Not just space, but time as well! Under the dual restriction of time and space, the whale discovered with horror that it could not move. It couldn't even trigger its self-detonation.
This was exactly the power Gu Xuan used after his Gold Level Second Awakening: Spatial Imprisonment and Time Imprisonment!
Already comparable to a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo, after his Gold Level Second Awakening, his mental power and soul power felt as if they were on the verge of breaking through a certain limit to reach a new height, though his actual rank was not yet sufficient to shatter that barrier. However, at this moment, the increase in Gu Xuan's strength had reached a terrifying level, far surpassing the tier of a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo. If a specific rank had to define it, it would be a Demigod!
"Wanting to self-detonate? That won't do. However, I can let you feel the pain and terror of a self-detonation!"
Gu Xuan murmured. Terrifying elemental power went into a riot. Eight elements, which had reached their ultimate state due to the Gold Level Second Awakening, swept toward the whale.
"Fire Scorch!"
"Ice Freeze!"
"Thunder Refinement!"
"Storm Gale!"
"Dark Energy!"
"Evil Rupture!"
"Time Stop!"
"Space Restrict!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had been prepared for death, suddenly let out a more sorrowful groan of agony. Eight different powers converged on its body; it felt as though it could not die even if it wanted to, its body subjected to horrific ravaging and pain!
"Kill me! Kill me quickly!!!"
The whale's soul emitted a wail, but Gu Xuan remained unmoved.
"I give you two choices: die, or become my Soul Spirit just like them!"
As the words fell, a wave of mental fluctuation shot out from the Bone Dragon's eyes. The method of the Soul Spirit, the fusion process of the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Evil Spirit Orca King, and the reason their strength had increased were all domineeringly transmitted into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's mind through mental power!
This was the terrifying aspect of mental power at the Demigod level; he could directly transmit what he wanted the opponent to see through mental power, and the opponent had no way to refuse. It was somewhat similar to an initiation. Having received the information from Gu Xuan's mental power, the whale felt as if it had personally experienced the fusion of the Soul Spirit method, gaining a clear understanding of how to merge.
At this moment, the whale's soul seemed to be suspended. Although in unbearable pain, it was still incomparably shocked by the Soul Spirit method.
'How is this possible?! How could such a method exist?!' was its first thought.
That thought flashed by, followed immediately by wild joy. If it became Gu Xuan's Soul Spirit, with his talent and strength, wouldn't it be able to follow him to reach that realm it had dreamed of in the future?
"So... so this is my opportunity?" the whale murmured in agony. "But why didn't you bring it out earlier? You made me suffer such torture!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King quickly realized that it wasn't that the opponent hadn't brought it out earlier, but that it had been too arrogant and insisted on looking for a beating! But it no longer mattered. Compared to becoming a mere soul ring and soul bone, it was much more willing to survive—especially since there was a huge chance of following Gu Xuan to achieve Godhood!
The temptation was too great—so great that the whale didn't even dare to hesitate, fearing Gu Xuan wouldn't take it! No one knew its ambition and loneliness. For the sake of its ambition, it could cast everything aside, for it saw hope for the nightmare of soul beasts being unable to achieve Godhood within this human!
"I am willing... to become your Soul Spirit and be driven by you!" the whale said sincerely to Gu Xuan, enduring the pain.
Gu Xuan no longer hesitated, for he could truly feel the whale's sincerity at this moment. Deactivating his Martial Soul Avatar, the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Evil Spirit Orca King returned to his mental sea. The Sword-Dragon Eight Wings were retracted, and Gu Xuan's body slowly landed upon the whale's tattered remains.
Gu Xuan looked up toward Gu Rong. "Grandpa, protect me!"
Gu Rong and Chen Xin were still in a state of shock. When Gu Xuan had released his Martial Soul Avatar just now, they felt like ants facing him. Hearing his voice now, the two finally snapped out of it. It turned out their only role was to protect him while he meditated...
And even though they were acting as protectors, once their mental power swept out, their expressions became awkward. Because of the battle between Gu Xuan and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not a single living aura remained within a hundred miles of the surrounding sea, except for those sea soul beasts that could not move. Their protection felt quite redundant, as there was simply no one to guard against.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin looked at each other and shared a bitter smile, but more than that, they felt gratified. Gu Rong chuckled. "Xuan'er has grown up. It looks like the future of us old men will depend on this boy!"
Chen Xin nodded. Though he felt a bit helpless, he was in an excellent mood.
