Diving once again into that gloomy, icy deep sea a thousand meters down, Yu Qing swallowed another Formless Nirvana Glazed Leaf without hesitation.
A moment later, his figure, Aura, spirit power fluctuations, and even his very sense of presence were compressed to near nothingness. He completely transformed into a formless, traceless phantom in the deep sea, perfectly merging into this eternal darkness of the silent World.
His gaze, like that of the coolest hunter, locked onto a lone ten-thousand-year Evil Orca lazily patrolling the outskirts of the whale pod.
Approaching silently, he flicked his fingertip.
A pale pink rosemary pill, emitting a strange sweet fragrance, accurately sliced through the seawater and shot soundlessly into the slightly opened giant mouth of that Evil Orca!
The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering its mouth, and the majestic medicinal power erupted instantly!
The massive body of that ten-thousand-year Evil Orca suddenly stiffened, its patrolling movements came to an immediate halt, and its fierce eyes quickly became unfocused and confused at a visible rate. Finally, it completely lost all luster, becoming hollow and dull.
[Remember this site's Domain name. Choosing Taiwan novels is the first choice to enjoy anytime.]
In just two or three breaths, it completely lost consciousness. Its massive body, as if drained of all strength, slowly suspended in the seawater, falling into the deepest slumber.
"The effect is outstanding!" Yu Qing praised inwardly.
The next moment, he moved!
His figure closed in instantly like a Gui Mei! The triangular military bayonet in his hand, quenched with countless potent poisons and flashing with a ghostly green cold light, turned into a lightning bolt of death, accurately piercing into the relatively fragile eye of the Evil Orca, going straight through to the brain!
Quenched on the bayonet was a composite Ice-Fire strange poison that Yu Qing had meticulously prepared using the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a base, supplemented by dozens of rare poisonous substances! Its toxicity was so violent and overbearing that it was enough to instantly poison even a Spirit Douluo level expert!
However, the life force of the Evil Orca was truly terrifyingly strong! Even with its brain pierced and the poison instantly corroding its entire body, it took a full five minutes before its life Aura finally dissipated.
A deep black ten-thousand-year spirit ring slowly condensed and emerged from its corpse.
Yu Qing's movements were as fast as lightning. With a sweep of his mental force, he quickly took the spirit ring into the System Space. The entire process was clean and silent. The other Evil Orcas swimming or resting nearby noticed almost no abnormality; they perhaps thought their companion had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
"Hehe, Tang San's method for dealing with these guys in the original work is indeed useful..." Yu Qing laughed inwardly.
Without the slightest pause, his gaze, like a precision scanner, quickly locked onto the next target—a sixty-thousand-year Evil Orca with even more powerful energy fluctuations and a larger body!
A repeat of the process, extreme efficiency.
Approach -> Launch rosemary pill -> Wait for unconsciousness -> Triangular bayonet fatal strike -> Collect spirit ring -> Hide and retreat.
One... two... three... Yu Qing was like a skilled deep-sea assassin, efficiently and coldly harvesting lives in the silence and darkness.
He prioritized high-value targets over fifty thousand years old that were alone or on the edge of the pod.
Soon, four powerful Evil Orcas with cultivation between sixty thousand and seventy thousand years followed in the footsteps of the first. Their massive bodies floated silently in the dark seawater, as if they had merely fallen into a sweet dream. Only the tiny hole on their foreheads, oozing traces of black blood, signaled the end of their lives.
Inside the System Space, four more precious ten-thousand-year spirit rings were added.
Yu Qing's movements became more and more proficient, and his courage grew. He raised his targets to the more core and powerful existences in the pod—ninety-thousand-year Evil Orcas!
Existences of this level were already Elder-class powerhouses in the pod, with strength comparable to human Titled Douluos and even more acute perception.
The process was still thrilling, but the result was still successful!
The effect of the rosemary pill on the ninety-thousand-year Evil Orcas was somewhat reduced; they took longer to fall into slumber, and their struggling consciousness was stronger. But under Yu Qing's precise timing and thunderous fatal attacks, they still failed to escape the fate of being hunted.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Three ninety-thousand-year spirit rings, containing majestic energy and as black as ink with faint blood streaks on the edges, were collected into Yu Qing's pocket one after another.
"Ten! Ten spirit rings over fifty thousand years, that's enough!" Yu Qing was excited. Inside the System Space, ten black spirit rings emitting powerful fluctuations floated quietly. This was one of the greatest gains of his trip!
"Ten high-level Evil Orca spirit rings, I wonder what kind of powerful Vicious Beast spirit ring they can eventually synthesize?" This thought flashed through Yu Qing's mind, but he quickly suppressed this expectation and cast his cold and sharp gaze toward the very center of that dark water, at the largest black shadow entrenched like a deep-sea demon god—
The hundred thousand year Evil Spirit Orca King!
The final prey, and also the most dangerous target of this trip!
"Plan A... I hope it succeeds. If not, I can only activate Plan B..." Yu Qing took a deep breath of cold seawater and adjusted his state to the optimum. Like the most patient assassin, he began to slowly approach the Evil Spirit Orca King.
The closer he got, the more terrifying that suffocating pressure became! The evil, violent, and overbearing Aura naturally emitted by the Evil Spirit Orca King seemed to form an invisible Domain, making the surrounding seawater viscous and heavy.
Yu Qing pushed the effect of the Formless Nirvana Glazed Leaf to the limit, like a drop of ink merging into water, silently sneaking to the diagonal upper side of the Evil Spirit Orca King's massive head.
An opportunity! The Evil Spirit Orca King seemed to be in a semi-dormant state, its giant eyes half-open and half-closed, its breathing long.
Now!
That pale pink rosemary pill appeared at Yu Qing's fingertip again. With an extremely ingenious technique, he accurately flicked it toward the slightly twitching nostrils of the Evil Spirit Orca King! He hoped the pill would be inhaled into its body with its breath!
However—
At the very moment the rosemary pill was about to enter!
A sudden change occurred!
Those originally half-closed giant eyes, like blood-colored lakes, suddenly snapped open! Rage, vigilance, and extremely fierce light burst from the eyes!
"Roar—!!!"
A majestic Aura, far more concentrated, more evil, and more terrifying than before, erupted from the Evil Spirit Orca King's body like a volcano that had accumulated for ten thousand years! Dark red evil energy instantly dyed a large area of the surrounding sea!
It had actually sensed the danger at the last moment!
That rosemary pill was instantly shaken into powder by this erupting Aura and dissipated into the seawater!
"Who is it?! So audacious! You dare to plot against this King?! You even dare to slaughter this King's clansmen?!" The Evil Spirit Orca King's enraged roar was like a physical sonic wave, spreading crazily through the deep sea, shaking the surrounding seawater violently!
Its massive mental force swept through the entire pod like a storm! It immediately discovered those few floating corpses of its clansmen who had lost their life Aura!
"Roar!!!" Endless rage and killing intent instantly filled its consciousness! Its giant head suddenly turned, and its cold, brutal gaze crazily scanned the surrounding darkness, trying to find that hidden killer!
Yu Qing cried out "What a pity!" in his heart, but his reaction was extremely fast! The moment the Evil Spirit Orca King's Aura erupted, he knew Plan A had completely failed! Without hesitation, his figure was like a startled needlefish, rapidly surfacing toward the sea level! At the same time, he unhesitatingly activated Plan B!
"Life Golden Leaf, Possess!"
Buzz!
Dazzling golden-green light flashed on Yu Qing's body for a moment, and the Life Golden Leaf Martial Soul possessed him instantly! Although the spirit rings did not appear due to the Formless Nirvana state, the power of the seventh spirit ring was already being triggered!
Seventh Spirit Ability: Martial Soul True Body
After activating the Martial Soul True Body, the Life Domain erupted like a tide with Yu Qing as the center, like a life bomb dropped into the deep sea, instantly covering a range of over a thousand meters!
In this dead, cold, and killing-filled dark deep sea, this suddenly appearing, extremely pure life Aura was like the brightest lighthouse in the dark night, instantly attracting the attention of all existences!
In the Evil Spirit Orca King's massive blood-colored eyes, which were originally in a state of enraged madness, the rage was instantly replaced by a surge of extreme shock, greed, and heat!
"Such... such a pure and massive Life Origin?!!" Its simple mind was instantly filled with this irresistible temptation! "Devour it! As long as I devour this power, I will surely be able to survive the next Heavenly Tribulation! My strength will skyrocket! I might even... even have the capital to challenge that Old freak, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!!"
Killing intent was overridden by greed! It no longer cared to search for that tiny killer. Its massive caudal fin swung violently, tearing through the seawater. With an unstoppable and terrifying Aura, it frantically chased after the source of the life energy eruption—Yu Qing, who was rapidly ascending!
Yu Qing pushed his speed to the limit, rushing toward the sea surface like a gold-green stream of light tearing through the darkness. The Evil Spirit Orca King followed closely behind. Everywhere it passed, the seawater churned, forming massive underwater vortices!
A life-and-death chase in the deep sea instantly unfolded!
Yu Qing's Martial Soul True Body state and Life Domain were fully active, consuming a massive amount of spirit power. However, he didn't care, as his Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores rotated frantically, providing a continuous stream of power.
Half an hour later!
"Splash—!!!"
Yu Qing's figure broke through the sea surface like a sharp arrow, soaring into the night sky! Cold air instantly flooded his lungs. He suspended in mid-air, his body still surrounded by a dense radiance of life, like a bright lamp in the dark night.
He quickly scanned his surroundings to confirm his position while fully operating his Cultivation Technique to recover his consumed spirit power, standing ready for the confrontation.
Just fifteen minutes later!
The sea surface below suddenly churned violently as if boiling! A terrifying vortex with a diameter of over a hundred meters formed abruptly!
The next moment!
"Boom—!!!"
A massive dark shadow, carrying a spray of water and overwhelming ferocity, suddenly broke through the vortex and soared into the sky!
It was that hundred thousand year Evil Spirit Orca King! Relying on its powerful strength, it actually managed to briefly leave the seawater and suspend in mid-air! Those blood-moon-like giant eyes were locked tightly onto the tiny yet enticingly scented Yu Qing in front of it!
"Human!!!" Its voice was like thunder, filled with violence and greed. "Did you think that by leading me to the sea surface, you would have a chance of winning?! Foolish! Obediently become my sustenance!!"
Yu Qing hovered in the air. Facing this terrifying mountain-like beast, there was no fear on his face; instead, a cold Battle Intent emerged.
"Who wins and who loses, we'll only know after the fight!"
Before his voice could fade, the spirit power within Yu Qing's body erupted!
"Star Burning Battle Method! Open!"
Boom!
A dazzling purple-gold Aura suddenly ignited from within his body! His Aura skyrocketed instantly, climbing steadily! The spirit power around him became incredibly violent and scorching, like a star about to explode!
"You're looking for death!" The Evil Spirit Orca King roared, its giant mouth opening. A Dark Red Destruction Light Beam, condensing extreme evil and destructive energy, blasted toward Yu Qing like a heavenly punishment! Wherever it passed, space itself slightly distorted!
Yu Qing's figure flashed, disappearing from the spot instantly like Gui Mei, narrowly avoiding this destructive strike! The light beam fell into the distant sea, exploding into a hundred-meter-high wave!
"Your speed isn't slow! Let's see how many times you can dodge!" The Evil Spirit Orca King roared. Its massive body swayed, and its giant meteor hammer-like tail, carrying the terrifying power to tear through space, swept across! Simultaneously, a thick dark red Evil Domain spread around it, attempting to erode and suppress Yu Qing's Life Domain!
Yu Qing dodged and maneuvered rapidly in the air, the Star Burning Battle Method granting him extreme speed and explosive power. However, he soon discovered that this Evil Spirit Orca King was extremely cunning. Its attacks were heavy and powerful, yet it could always draw upon the seawater below at critical moments to form barriers or vortices, skillfully neutralizing part of Yu Qing's attack power. It was extremely difficult to deal with!
"I can't delay! This must be settled quickly!" Yu Qing's eyes sharpened as he made a decision in his heart!
He suddenly formed a mysterious hand seal in front of him! The purple-gold Aura around him frantically converged toward his hands!
"Star Luo Hand, Suppress!"
Buzz!
In the sky, the starlight seemed to suddenly brighten! A Giant Starlight Hand, condensed from countless dazzling purple stars, appeared out of air! Runes flowed upon the giant hand, carrying a terrifying will that suppressed the universe and sealed all things, as it ruthlessly grabbed toward the Evil Spirit Orca King below!
The Evil Spirit Orca King's pupils constricted as it felt a massive threat. It roared and spat out an even thicker destruction light beam to resist, while simultaneously drawing upon the surging seawater to form a shield!
However, that giant star hand seemed to ignore these obstacles, penetrating the light beam and the water shield, accurately grasping the massive Evil Spirit Orca King in its palm!
Countless star runes instantly lit up, transforming into purple Chains of Order that wrapped around the Evil Spirit Orca King's entire body! A powerful force of suppression and sealing erupted, instantly suppressing the violent spirit power within its body and immobilizing it!
"Roar!!!" The Evil Spirit Orca King was both shocked and furious, struggling frantically. The Chains of Order rattled, but it was unable to break free for a moment!
"Now!" A cold light burst from Yu Qing's eyes!
His figure instantly appeared above the head of the temporarily immobilized Evil Spirit Orca King. His right fist clenched tightly as all the power within his body—spirit power, blood vitality power, Star Power, and even the explosive power of the Star Burning Battle Method—frantically condensed!
"Four Forms of Star Shattering: Annihilation!"
He threw a punch! It was silent, yet it contained absolute destructive power! The punch's force penetrated the hard skull, and the hidden energy and explosive power, like countless miniature bombs, instantly poured into the Evil Spirit Orca King's brain and core!
The Evil Spirit Orca King's massive body suddenly stiffened, its struggling movements coming to an abrupt halt.
The next moment—
"Boom!!!!!!!"
An extremely muffled yet World-shaking explosion erupted from within its body! Its mountain-like body suddenly burst open from the inside! Countless fragments of flesh, bone, and organs flew in all directions, as if a giant and cruel blood-colored firework had bloomed in mid-air!
In its blood-colored giant eyes, the final, unbelievable shock and fear remained, before the light in them completely faded.
A bright red spirit ring, radiating overwhelming energy fluctuations and terrifying pressure, slowly emerged from the center of the shattered corpse! Simultaneously, a Torso Spirit Bone shimmering with dark red light also dropped out.
Yu Qing suppressed the churning blood vitality and the massive consumption within his body, quickly stepping forward to collect the hundred thousand year spirit ring and the hundred thousand year spirit bone into the System Space.
"Whew... Finally settled..." He let out a long sigh of relief. The continuous high-intensity outbursts and calculations had left him feeling a hint of exhaustion. Just as he was about to turn and leave this place of trouble—
Suddenly!
An indescribable, vast, and majestic terrifying pressure, as if integrated with the entire ocean, descended from the sky without any warning!
Yu Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and the blood in his entire body seemed to freeze in an instant! He felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible, ten-thousand-fathom deep sea, making even breathing extremely difficult!
He struggled to lift his head and looked toward the direction the pressure was coming from.
In the distance, under the cold moonlight, a graceful and tall figure had quietly suspended in the night sky at some unknown time.
She wore a magnificent red gown that seemed to be woven from the most brilliant sunset. Her sea-blue long hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, flowing with a mysterious luster under the moonlight. Her face was breath-takingly perfect, yet it carried a divine majesty that looked down upon all living beings with indifference.
Most striking was the scepter in her hand, which was taller than she was, entirely golden and inlaid with a massive blue gemstone at the top! The scepter radiated holy fluctuations as vast as the sea, as if it held the authority over the entire ocean!
She stood there quietly, yet she seemed to be the center of the whole World, making even the moonlight and stars pale in comparison.
A voice, cold and pleasant, yet containing unquestionable majesty and a faint killing intent, slowly drifted over like the tide, clearly ringing in Yu Qing's ears:
"Land Spirit Master. Since you dare to come to the sea area of my Sea God Island to hunt Spirit Beasts and disturb the Holy Land... then, stay here forever."
Yu Qing's pupils suddenly constricted to the extreme!
His expression instantly became incredibly grave and unsightly.
He recognized the visitor's identity—the spokesperson of the Sea God in the mortal World, the Rank 99 Peak super Douluo—the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi!
