Chapter 72: The Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan
Sea Dragon Douluo and others beside her also showed solemn expressions.
Although the Mermaid clan did not interact much with Sea God Island, they respected each other... Before the ripple brought by the Sea Princess could subside.
The golden light of the heavenly curtain suddenly became profound and majestic.
"Boom boom boom!"
A majestic and vast aura, as if carrying the weight of the entire ocean, permeated the air.
The Soul Power fluctuations contained within that aura.
Made all previously appearing Soul Beasts pale in comparison!
The projection formed by the golden light was an elegant and powerful deep blue giant whale.
Although her body was not as mountainous as her husband's, she was still incredibly massive, her streamlined body containing explosive power.
Star-like light points shimmered on her deep blue skin.
A pair of wise and gentle eyes gazed at the World.
A soft blue halo surrounded her, perfectly resonating with the rhythm of the ocean.
[soul beast power ranking list, Seventh Place: Deep Sea Demon Whale (Demon Empress)!]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 600,000 years]
[Affiliation: Sea Territory]
[Evaluation: The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing nearly 700,000 years of profound foundation, controlling the rhythm and power of the ocean, she is the most noble empress in the deep sea.]
[Reward: Soul Beast age increased by 60,000 years, Ocean Origin affinity greatly increased, purity of controlled ocean power increased, innate skill — Devour, Semi-Divine Artifact — Heavenly Sea Divine Sword!]
"Six... Six hundred thousand years!!"
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, could it be another powerful Soul Beast!"
"Such a powerful aura... Is this the majesty of the Deep Sea Empress?"
"Seventh place! A 600,000-year-old Soul Beast only ranks seventh?"
...Deepest part of the Sea Territory.
In a vast blue divine Domain.
The Demon Empress elegantly swayed her deep blue body, feeling the descending reward, her eyes showing joy.
She turned to look at her even larger, more profound, and terrifying husband beside her — the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, gently transmitting Spiritual fluctuations.
"Husband, it seems this heavenly curtain is fair."
"However, with my current strength, I only rank seventh. The Soul Beasts on the Continent are not simple!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, like a small continent, undulated slightly as he said solemnly.
"This heavenly curtain's reward is indeed miraculous. After absorbing the golden light that just overflowed, I feel like my Bottleneck seems to have loosened."
In his giant single eye, a wise and expectant light flickered.
The Demon Empress accepted the baptism of the golden light, her age increased to 660,000 years, and her perception of the Ocean Origin became clearer.
The ocean power she controlled also became purer.
She said to her husband with anticipation: "Husband, with your 990,000 years of Cultivation, you are only one step away from a million years. The top spot on this soul beast power ranking list must undoubtedly be yours."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a series of low laughs, stirring the surrounding seawater: "Perhaps. I am indeed looking forward to what kind of reward this heavenly curtain will bestow."
"Perhaps. That million-year threshold will be reached this time."
Star Dou Great Forest, bottom of the Lake of Life.
Di Tian's expression became completely solemn: "600,000 years, Demon Empress, the strength of the Sea Territory is indeed not to be underestimated."
The Red King's three heads all quieted down.
Xiong Jun's tyrannical aura also subsided a little.
A 600,000-year Cultivation, coupled with the inherent power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, was enough to make even these Ferocious beasts feel a strong threat.
Gu Yuena's usually calm purple eyes also flickered slightly, and she murmured softly: "The foundation of the ocean indeed exceeded my expectations, Di Tian, our plan may need to be more cautious."
Di Tian respectfully bowed his head: "Yes, Master."
Spirit Hall, Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu gazed deeply at the Demon Empress's projection on the heavenly curtain that had not yet dissipated, and slowly said: "The Sea Territory. This is the most worrying existence."
Gold Crocodile Douluo's expression became even more solemn upon hearing this: "Big Brother, why do you say that?"
"These Ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are already terrifying enough. Is there an even stronger existence in the Sea Territory besides the Mermaids and the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan?"
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Do you remember the battle between Bo Saixi and me on the vast ocean back then?"
Several Priests immediately held their breath.
That was a legendary duel decades ago.
The Peak battle between two level 99 Limit Douluo on the vast ocean is still circulated in the Spirit Master's world to this day.
"On the vast ocean, Bo Saixi, with the help of the ocean's power, had almost inexhaustible Soul Power."
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a hint of emotion.
"What impressed me even more was that beneath the bottomless seawater, I felt countless powerful auras."
Azure Luan Douluo couldn't help but ask: "Stronger than these Ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head: "At that time, it was impossible to judge accurately, but one thing is certain — the area of the ocean is several times that of the land, and the complexity of the environment far exceeds our imagination."
He paused, his tone becoming even heavier: "Moreover, Sea Soul Beasts are almost undisturbed by human Soul Masters. Think about it, Soul Beasts on land have to face countless Soul Masters hunting them, and those that can grow to 100,000 years are as rare as Phoenix feathers and Kirin horns."
"But in the deep sea? Except for the Soul Masters on Sea God Island who undergo trials, almost no one will venture deep into it to hunt Soul Beasts."
Demon Subduing Douluo suddenly realized: "High Priest means that Sea Soul Beasts have a more stable Cultivation environment?"
"Precisely so."
Qian Daoliu affirmed.
"They can Cultivate peacefully in the deep sea for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even longer."
"No natural enemies, no human threats, only needing to face internal competition within the ocean."
"Under such an environment, it's imaginable what terrifying existences would be born."
Guangling Douluo gasped: "So, it's very possible that there are older and more powerful Soul Beasts in the Sea Territory than these Ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Qian Daoliu looked solemnly at the heavenly curtain: "This heavenly curtain has helped us a great deal, at least allowing us to understand some of the Sea Territory's strength."
Several Priests exchanged glances.
They all saw the shock and worry in each other's eyes.
They, who originally thought they stood at the Peak of the Continent.
Only now truly realized how vast this World was, and how many unknown powerhouses were hidden in the shadows.
Qian Daoliu finally concluded: "Let's continue to watch. This heavenly curtain will tell us how many unknown secrets are still hidden on this Continent."
The Priests responded in unison, and when they looked at the heavenly curtain again.
Their eyes now held an unprecedented solemnity.
The Sea Territory, an existence that had always been regarded as a distant background, had now risen in their hearts to the same level of danger as the Star Dou Great Forest.
All forces on the Continent were completely numb at this moment.
Ferocious beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest emerged one after another.
And the overlords of the Sea Territory also appeared consecutively.
Each one older, each one more terrifying in strength.
The Far North had only seen two appear, and that was already astonishing.
Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... All human forces clearly realized.
How ridiculous and one-sided their so-called dominance of the Continent was in front of these truly ancient Soul Beast overlords.
The waters of the Douluo Continent were ten thousand times deeper than they imagined!
Top six!
Only the top six remained!
What other powerful Soul Beasts were there in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sea Territory?
The entire Continent, amidst endless shock and anticipation, awaited the final revelation of the Peak!
