Splash! Splash! Splash!
The surface of the sea churned violently, massive waves surging into the sky. Both the heavens and the ocean seemed to be shrouded in an ominous ink-like darkness.
The dense atmosphere was so suffocating it felt as though the very air was distorting.
Bai Xiuxiu, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, didn't dare to breathe heavily. The entire shark froze in fear, petrified and unable to move.
From the depths of the ocean, an enormous whale surfaced, its colossal body exceeding 200 meters in length. Its entire form gleamed like sapphire, and its head bore two massive eyes, each over three meters in diameter.
Although one of those eyes had been blinded by the Sea God, disrupting its symmetrical beauty, this imperfection only added to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's menacing and imposing aura.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Zhou Yi scrutinized the massive creature, clearly pleased with his soon-to-be flagship ride.
Once he rode this beast, he thought smugly, he'd be the epitome of swagger and dominance.
"Human, are you the Sea God's inheritor?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single remaining eye fixed on Zhou Yi. As for Bai Xiuxiu, the mere 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, it completely ignored her.
After all, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was nothing more than a lapdog of the Sea God.
Given that Zhou Yi arrived atop this lapdog and was clearly here to cause trouble, it was reasonable for the whale to assume he was the Sea God's inheritor.
This assumption was further solidified by the fact that Zhou Yi had reached Rank 100.
Without inheriting divine power, how could any human Soul Master possibly achieve Rank 100? In the whale's view, Zhou Yi's ultimate mission was likely to slay it, claim its soul, and ascend to the Sea God's divine throne.
"I have no interest in inheriting the Sea God's power!"
Zhou Yi's eyes gleamed with interest as he continued to size up his chosen mount. "But I am very interested in you!"
"How amusing!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was taken aback. A human Soul Master uninterested in the Sea God's inheritance? That was truly unexpected.
As for Zhou Yi's claim of being interested in it, the whale didn't take it seriously.
It assumed Zhou Yi merely coveted its soul bones—after all, which Soul Master didn't?
"Boy, you may have reached Rank 100, but you lack a divine throne. Here in my territory, do you truly believe you can claim my soul bones?"
The whale's deep voice resonated like a roar from the depths of the ocean. Its enormous single eye locked onto Zhou Yi, radiating an aura of menace and sharp intensity.
"To reach Rank 100, you are indeed the most monstrous Soul Master since the Sea God. However, you should not have come to my domain to act recklessly or attack me.
"Today, you will remain here. Once I devour you, perhaps I will finally break through the final barrier."
"How naïve!"
Zhou Yi sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "The God Kings of the Divine Realm have forbidden soul beasts from ascending to divinity. You can't overturn their will. Do you honestly believe you can become a god? What a ridiculous dream!"
"Is that so? My body is already 99% divine. Devouring you will complete the final 1%, allowing me to become the first-ever Demon God!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared furiously. It refused to believe it couldn't ascend to godhood. Its massive tail lashed out, sending waves of blue-violet energy crackling through the air, ripping the very fabric of reality apart.
"Qilin Arm!"
Zhou Yi clenched his fist, his right arm swelling as mysterious patterns emerged, exuding an aura of unparalleled strength.
With a single punch, Zhou Yi shattered the electric energy and struck the whale's massive tail directly.
Though his fist was diminutive compared to the whale's enormous tail, the unleashed power was earth-shattering, shaking the heavens and terrifying the gods.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt an unimaginable, indescribable force overwhelm it, as if its entire body was about to shatter.
Its colossal form spun uncontrollably, hurtling out of the water. The 200-meter-long whale flipped through the air repeatedly!
"Bastard!"
The whale was mortified, humiliated to its core. A human had launched it into the sky with a single punch, leaving it twirling mid-air like a ragdoll.
"Bull Demon Fist!"
Before the whale could retaliate, Zhou Yi activated the second soul skill of his right arm's soul bone. A massive fist imprint struck the whale squarely on the head.
The retaliatory energy the whale had just gathered dissipated instantly, and it was once again sent flying, spinning uncontrollably through the air.
"Curse you!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a rising urge to cry.
"Oh my heavens…"
Bai Xiuxiu's mouth gaped open, her fish eyes widening in disbelief.
The terrifying Deep Sea Demon Whale King, ruler of the ocean, was being thrashed like a sandbag by Zhou Yi.
"Martial God is truly invincible!"
"Martial God forever reigns supreme!"
Already a devoted fangirl, Bai Xiuxiu now looked at Zhou Yi with fanatical admiration. In her eyes, he could do no wrong—even if he demanded her devotion entirely, she wouldn't hesitate for a second.
Just like those obsessed fangirls from a previous life swept up in the craze.
Crackle!
Terrifying violet lightning continuously gathered on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, attempting a counterattack.
Yet these strikes were utterly ineffective against Zhou Yi.
Protected by the Thirteenth-level Water-Fire Golden Bell Shield, Zhou Yi could stand there and let the beast attack him all it wanted—its efforts would be in vain, even against his passive defenses.
"Qilin Kick!"
Zhou Yi ascended into the sky, raising his right leg before stomping down fiercely.
With a flash of earthen-yellow light, an enormous Qilin leg manifested, as massive as a pillar holding up the heavens. It smashed down directly onto the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head.
Boom!
The sea surged with waves a hundred layers high, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was instantly driven into the ocean floor.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, do you now understand the gulf between you and me?"
Standing tall, Zhou Yi's colossal Qilin foot pressed down on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's head. He looked down upon it and declared in a resounding voice:
"I haven't even used my full strength, and yet you've already fallen. Submit to me, and I'll spare your life!"
"In your dreams!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was both furious and terrified, filled with a suffocating sense of humiliation and helplessness. It could tell Zhou Yi wasn't even fighting at full power,
But it was completely outmatched.
"I am the true sovereign of the seas! Even if I can't defeat you, I can still escape!"
With a violent struggle, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dove downward, breaking free from the Qilin foot's suppression. Its massive tail swung forcefully, propelling it forward like a streak of light.
Its speed surpassed even the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai.
"You think you can escape from me?"
Zhou Yi dove into the water, a water dragon materializing beneath his feet. Riding the dragon, he harnessed the currents of the boundless sea, catching up to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in an instant.
Neither soul beasts nor Soul Masters of the Douluo Continent truly understood what it meant to follow the Dao!
Zhou Yi's Thirteenth-level of Water-Fire Golden Bell Shield had already begun to grasp the profound essence of the Water-Fire Dao. Within the water, his speed and power not only remained undiminished but instead grew even stronger.
"How is this possible?"
As Zhou Yi caught up, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes widened in disbelief, its entire body trembling uncontrollably.
