Poseidon and Tang Hao communicated along the way and soon arrived at the edge of the Demon Whale Sea.
Below, Xiao Bai and her clan members felt a strong sense of reverence toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and quickly stopped.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the true King of Ocean Spirit Beasts.
When Xiao Bai, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, was born, she was taught by her elders never to approach the Demon Whale Sea.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was most likely already dead, these spirit beasts were still very afraid.
Poseidon, Tang Hao, and Xiao Bai began inspecting the edge of the Demon Whale Sea.
They saw that the sky here was no longer covered by overwhelming dark clouds but had turned into a clear, azure blue. The seawater was also no longer as deep and pitch-black as before.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Devil Whale Domain no longer exists!"
Without hesitation, Poseidon took a step forward and entered the Demon Whale Sea.
Then, relying on her control over the ocean, she released her own Domain.
Poseidon's Martial Soul was the Sea God, and she was the Sea God's representative on the Douluo Continent.
In the ocean, she was an invincible existence.
At this moment, she immersed her spiritual power into the sea, instantly enveloping the entire Demon Whale Sea.
Naturally, no signs of battle could be seen on the sea's surface. After all, the ocean was not like land, where traces of combat would remain.
Poseidon could only continuously deepen her spiritual power into the seabed.
Soon, she made a discovery.
There were signs of damage to the seabed, and the traces of battle were very intense.
"Xiao Bai, the enemy is no longer here. Take your clan members and search the depths of the seabed. Do not overlook any clues!"
Poseidon instructed the Demon Soul Great White Shark below.
"Yes, High Priest!"
With a flick of her tail, Xiao Bai dove directly into the depths of the sea.
"The opponent has already left. Even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King performed a Sacrifice, absorbing the Spirit Ring couldn't be this fast!"
Poseidon sent the Demon Soul Great White Shark to search because she didn't believe the opponent could leave so quickly.
But with her spiritual power and control over the ocean, she found nothing.
"It seems it really is that Evil Soul Master you mentioned. His concealment ability is unparalleled—even I couldn't detect him!" Poseidon praised.
She believed that if Bibi Dong were here, she might have discovered something. However, from the moment they noticed the disturbance to their arrival, the Evil Soul Master had vanished without a trace in a very short time.
It was truly eerie.
Tang Hao wore a bitter smile, never expecting that in the ocean, the opponent could still evade Poseidon's detection.
This enemy was too terrifying, and Tang Hao felt a sense of despair rising within him.
Perhaps only if his grandfather became a God could they possibly deal with this opponent.
He desperately hoped that the Demon Soul Great White Shark would find the Evil Soul Master underwater.
In a battle on the ocean, he believed that as soon as the opponent revealed himself, he would be no match for Poseidon. If they could use Poseidon's power to kill this Evil Soul Master, then Xiao San would be safe in the future.
Tang Hao thought cunningly.
Deep in the sea, Dugu Feng had long anticipated that Poseidon would come to investigate.
Therefore, after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King performed the Sacrifice, he immediately sank to the seabed and used the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover.
The Vast Sea Cosmos Cover enveloped both him and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
It shielded all traces of their presence, rendering Poseidon's search fruitless.
As for the Demon Soul Great White Shark entering the seabed to search, it posed no threat whatsoever to Dugu Feng.
Whether it was the Emerald Dragon Snake or his own spiritual power, both could clearly sense the movements of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, allowing him to avoid it in advance.
Absorbing a Spirit Ring while on the move was not something Dugu Feng was doing for the first time.
Moreover, this was a sacrifice—a sacrifice with the cooperation of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The more cooperative the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was, the more Dugu Feng suspected that this million-year Spirit Beast was up to no good.
It was likely waiting to seize his body when he became a God, just as it had once faced Tang San.
Unfortunately, it still underestimated the power of his Overlord Venom.
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Sea of Spirit was controlled by the Overlord Venom.
Every strand of its spiritual power had already been tainted by the Overlord Venom, so how could it possibly escape Dugu Feng's control?
Dugu Feng paid no mind to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's petty schemes, knowing full well that it would end up losing more than it gained in the future.
Ignoring external influences, Dugu Feng remained focused on absorbing the Spirit Ring.
Within the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover, his entire body was in its most relaxed state.
All three of his External Soul Bones had manifested.
Both the Scorpion Pincers and the Fox Tail were engraved with golden patterns.
They exuded a noble aura, similar to the Spider Emperor Wings on his back.
Indeed, these two External Soul Bones had finally stepped into the Divine Level at this moment.
Originally, the Scorpion Pincers were already close to the Divine Level. When he evolved into a Titled Douluo, they underwent an energy refinement, making their advancement to the Divine Level expected.
The Fox Tail was originally still some distance away from the Divine Level, but Dugu Feng's evolution this time was too earth-shattering.
His Soul Power evolved to the Titled Douluo level, and the Eight-Colored Poison Pill evolved with Bloodline Power, benefiting Dugu Feng's entire body.
The Fox Tail, connected to Dugu Feng's spine, also absorbed immense amounts of energy.
This time, it became the part that benefited the most, directly catching up with the Spider Emperor Wings and Scorpion Pincers to become a Divine-Level External Soul Bone.
Dugu Feng grew fonder of these golden External Soul Bones the more he looked at them. Each External Soul Bone was equivalent to a Divine Tool in his hands.
And he had three of them.
The combat power these three External Soul Bones unleashed during close combat with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King satisfied Dugu Feng greatly.
Now that the Scorpion Pincers and Fox Tail had also evolved into Divine Tools, if he were to engage the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in battle again at this moment,
relying solely on these three Divine Tool External Soul Bones, Dugu Feng could easily handle the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Aside from the External Soul Bones, Dugu Feng's six Spirit Bones were finally complete. The last missing piece, the Left Leg Bone, was also filled by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's sacrifice.
What pleasantly surprised Dugu Feng even more was the improvement in the quality of his Head Soul Bone.
The process of improvement was also peculiar.
Just as the Left Leg Bone integrated into his body, the six Spirit Bones connected as one.
They were: the Head Soul Bone of Spiritual Wisdom, the Azurewood Jade Dragon Right Arm Bone, the Netherworld Poison Crocodile Left Arm Bone, the Unicorn Eel Torso Bone, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King Left Leg Bone.
Aside from the Head Soul Bone, the other five Spirit Bones were all over a hundred thousand years old.
The connection of the six Spirit Bones directly expanded the blood-red armor originally formed by the Eight Spider Lances,
turning it into Full Body Armor.
The Full Body Armor covered him from head to toe, leaving only his eyes exposed.
In reality, this was an Energy Armor formed by the Spirit Bone Energy of the six Spirit Bones.
The armor was entirely condensed from scorching energy, but on the surface of his body, it appeared as solid, exquisite armor.
This energy flowed back and forth among the six Spirit Bones.
Then, Dugu Feng felt the quality of the Head Soul Bone of Spiritual Wisdom continuously improving. With each cycle of energy flow, its quality increased by a fraction.
Until it finally became a 100,000-Year Soul Bone.
Could it be the influence of other Soul Bones?
Dugu Feng speculated that the six Soul Bones had coalesced into armor, causing a qualitative transformation in the essence of these Soul Bones.
After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's left leg Soul Bone was already close to the Divine Level.
The fusion and interaction of six high-quality Soul Bones had all enhanced their quality.
The Head Soul Bone of Spiritual Wisdom was originally 80,000 years old, and with a slight improvement, it reached 100,000 years, making its enhancement even more noticeable.
