Xiao Bai relaxed and said, "Given the status of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, as we approach, it will definitely want to kill us all."
The Demon Soul Great White Shark emerged from the sea, and Ye Yu and the others took a deep breath, facing the blue sky. The air was fresh, moist, with a hint of salty fishiness.
Ye Yu and the others were already accustomed to the taste of the sea.
Tang San said solemnly, "I'll go first."
"Hmm, Xiao San, go for it."
Liu Guai encouraged him, still a bit worried inside. After all, Tang San was going alone, and perhaps the Demon Soul Great White Shark would attack them. But would Tang San still be alive when he returned?
Tang San's body shimmered with a faint golden light. His body was already a demigod body, as it had been tempered far beyond the Six Monsters.
Tang San ate a sausage that duplicated Bai Shenxiang's Soul Techniques, sprouted wings, and flew rapidly towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's territory.
Even though the faint light couldn't compare to Qian Xue's brilliant gold, it also signified that he was no longer purely human, but truly a demigod body.
As he approached, Tang San dived into the seawater, his aura reaching a peak, eyes fierce, with blue hair flowing, a white robe, and a trident's golden light shining on his forehead, like a third eye.
The nearby Sea Soul Beasts were astonished that a human dared to come here. No one had dared to challenge the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for hundreds of years.
They all watched, but no one dared to approach. That was definitely forbidden territory.
"Hmph, courting death."
A low voice burst forth from the sea, echoing across the land. Tang San frowned, his blood quivering due to the sound wave, feeling rather unwell.
"Your words are premature," Tang San looked toward a hundred meters ahead, at the gigantic Deep Sea Demon Whale King, about a hundred meters long, completely black like a whale, with a body flowing with faint golden energy.
"Hmph, even the Sea God's chosen one cannot run wild on my territory. You can stay, perhaps swallowing the Sea God's inheritor could help me break through that final barrier."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was excited, having been stuck at this final barrier for who knows how many years. Originally, he thought he would never have hope in this lifetime, but now hope appeared before him.
That final barrier was extremely desirable to him, and at this moment, hope emerged. Even for someone like him, who has lived for so long, he couldn't help but feel excited inside.
Tang San broke into a cold sweat, "I want to see if you can swallow me, or if I will destroy you."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King laughed as if hearing the biggest joke.
"Your Soul Power is around level ninety-six, your body strength is decent, approaching demigod level. But only forty percent of your body has transformed to divine level, while ninety-nine percent of my body has reached divine level! Your strength is far inferior to mine. Even with a Divine Artifact, without the Heart of the Sea God, can the Trident of the Sea God really match me?"
Concerning the Sea God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King naturally knew something, and excitedly said, "Let me consume you and replenish that final one percent, to become the unprecedented true Beast God!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King swung his body, purely physical attack. A flick of his tail raised a towering tsunami, hundreds of meters high and its diameter beyond sight, pressing toward Tang San, covering the sky and hiding the sun.
Tang San's body, tough and resilient, charged directly into the tsunami, then pierced through it. The Trident of the Sea God swung out, clashing with the whale's tail, resulting in a thunderous explosion shaking the sea.
Both the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Tang San retreated, somewhat surprised, "It seems you not only have a Divine Artifact but also learned the Trident of the Sea God's exclusive Divine Skills. However, it is futile, you will die."
Tang San snorted coldly, "Your power, equivalent to a human's ninety-ninth level peak, can't kill me unless you become a God."
"Hmph, do not compare me with humans at the ninety-ninth level peak. I have lived millions of years in this ocean, and for a hundred thousand years, I have been merely one step away, akin to your human ninety-ninth level peak Unparalleled Douluo. Having survived for another hundred thousand years, do you think my strength is just level ninety-nine?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San frowned.
"I have always been unable to transcend because I lack the position of the Divine Mansion. But you, the Sea God's inheritor, have delivered yourself. Consuming you, I will become the new Sea God."
Tang San instantly understood, without any buildup, suddenly, his entire being transformed into a stream of light, his entire Soul Power concentrated on the Trident of the Sea God. He also ate a Sturdy Golden Fly, further enhancing his power.
Meanwhile, from afar, seven rays of light shot into the sky, shining towards Tang San like a rainbow across the sky.
Clearly, Ning Rongrong was using the Nine Treasures Glaze Tower to support.
Ye Yu couldn't actively assist, but others weren't restricted.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body was enormous, it was extremely agile. The tail instantly lashed out, colliding with the Trident of the Sea God, no longer careless. Instead, the physical attack was now mixed with its energy.
Boom!!
With an earth-shattering roar, Tang San suddenly felt as if his entire skeleton was about to fall apart. Yet the Trident of the Sea God struck fiercely at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tail, leaving three bloody marks on the tough whale tail skin, and blood splattered, dyeing a hundred-meter sea area red.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King thrashed in pain, but Tang San wouldn't let himself be easily thrown off, enduring the pain, triggered the Light of the Sea God to further embed the Trident.
Simultaneously, the evolved golden Eight-Spider Spear emerged from his back, stabbing into the whale tail.
At the same time, he activated his absorption ability and poison, the whale tail's thrashing was less fearsome.
The Golden Fly, Ning Rongrong's amplification now made the Trident of the Sea God weigh a million pounds, not something easily thrown off. Tang San's Eight-Spider Spear stabbed in, climbing toward the body like a spider, and everywhere a leg inserted, that place would cave in, clearly energy was being absorbed.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King floundered vigorously but couldn't shake off Tang San, thus transformed into human form, the body converted into energy, shrinking instantly, escaping from Tang San.
Transforming into human form would slightly reduce strength, but to break free, it was the only option. Yet even in human form, he felt it was sufficient.
The enormous Deep Sea Demon Whale King vanished, transforming into a middle-aged man, three meters tall, with deep blue long hair cascading down his back. He wore purple armor that appeared crystalline, composed of chest armor, shoulder armor, abdominal armor, battle skirt, and limb armor, with no visible seams. The high collar armor protected his neck.
Behind him, there appeared a purple swirling stream, spinning smaller, condensing into a jewel-sized energy orb, embedded in the center of his chest armor, shining with purple light.
From afar, Xiao Bai was extremely amazed, "Indeed, very frightening. I wouldn't last three minutes against him. He has reached near god-level, a quasi-god status. When the Sea God became a God, he could fuse energy with himself, forming armor as a Divine Artifact, and the Martial Soul transformed into the Trident of the Sea God. Although he cannot yet do this, he can transform energy into armor, which is terrifying, just one step away from becoming a God."
Dai Mubai frowned, "Transforming into human form, as he is now, his strength hasn't decreased at all. Xiao San miscalculated. This Deep Sea Demon Whale King is much stronger than we imagined."
The human-formed Deep Sea Demon Whale King glanced disdainfully at the distance, "Daring to come here, seems he didn't come alone. But do you think bringing a group can kill me? Just a bunch of rabble. However, they do offer considerable help to you, so I will clean them up first!"
The human-shaped Demon Whale King transformed into a purple stream of light, directly rushing over, somewhat surprised because Tang San didn't move. Instead, he hovered in mid-air, arms crossed.
"What is that kid thinking? He's abandoned his companions?"
