"How can he be faster than me?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes were filled with disbelief, fear, and confusion as it watched Zhou Yi, riding atop a water dragon, leisurely keeping pace beside it.
Zhou Yi wasn't a Sea God—so how could he be so swift in the ocean?
"Faster!"
"Keep running!" Zhou Yi laughed, his gaze teasing and full of mockery.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, possessing dual water and thunder attributes and a million years of cultivation, unleashed its immense power. A wave of energy surged forth, like a tempest crashing over the sea.
"Sky-Splitting Sword Technique!"
Zhou Yi, who had already retracted his martial soul, gripped the hilt of the Frost Defying Sword. With a sudden draw, a brilliant sword light, beyond description in words, cleaved through the air.
It was as if the entire world, the boundless ocean itself, had been compressed into a thin sheet of paper—and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was but a small fish within.
The sword light was like scissors, slicing through the "paper."
The sky and sea split silently into two halves.
A wound over a hundred meters long slashed across the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body, turning its belly upward and staining the waters red with its blood.
Were it not for Zhou Yi's restraint, that single strike would have bisected the whale entirely.
Even so...
The resilient life force of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was pushed to its limits. It was barely alive, incapable of even the slightest movement.
Its singular eye was filled with shock, horror, and utter disbelief.
That sword...
It was too terrifying.
Too overwhelming.
It shattered all its pride, leaving a mark on its soul that would never fade.
"Ah..."
Bai Xiuxiu quickly caught up, only to be stunned at the sight of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, nearly split in two. Her mouth gaped wide enough to fit a person.
Zhou Yi approached the fallen leviathan, casually patting its massive head. He said, "Follow me from now on, and reaching godhood will be the least of your achievements."
With that, Zhou Yi activated the soul skill from his left arm bone: Spring of Life.
Rich green light enveloped the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and its ghastly wound, over a hundred meters long, began to heal visibly.
In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the injury had fully recovered. While it appeared slightly weakened from the energy expenditure, it was otherwise unharmed.
A surge of blue-purple light erupted from the whale, its energy rapidly condensing.
Moments later...
The colossal, 200-meter-long Deep Sea Demon Whale King disappeared. In its place stood a middle-aged man with a commanding presence.
Standing over three meters tall, his deep blue hair cascaded down his back. He was clad in a crystalline, deep purple suit of armor, composed of a breastplate, shoulder guards, abdominal plates, a battle skirt, and limb armor—all seamlessly fused without visible joints.
A high-standing neck guard protected his throat, and he wore a semi-enclosed helmet adorned with fish-gill patterns on its sides.
The moment he appeared, all energy in the vicinity seemed to converge upon him.
Behind him, a massive deep purple vortex emerged, slowly rotating as it floated forward. The whirlpool condensed at the center of his chest armor, transforming into a fist-sized gem.
Even in its solidified state, the gem pulsed with swirling energy, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Kneel before your master!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's gaze toward Zhou Yi was filled with reverence, fear, and worship. Dropping to one knee, he bowed respectfully.
"Excellent. You've made the right choice!"
Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction, tossing a Transformation Pill to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"This is my gift to you. You'll understand its effects once you consume it."
"Thank you, Master!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King hesitated only briefly before swallowing the pill.
Zhou Yi's power was absolute—he had no choice. Even if it were poison, he would have had to consume it.
"This pill…"
The whale's expression shifted, filled with shock as it began to absorb the pill's effects.
Seeing that it would take time for the pill to fully work, Zhou Yi took out another Transformation Pill and handed it to Bai Xiuxiu.
"Xiuxiu, this is the gift I promised you. It will allow you to fully take on human form without losing your cultivation. It won't hinder your future progress in the slightest."
"This... this is too precious!"
Bai Xiuxiu hesitated, swallowing nervously. Under Zhou Yi's firm gaze, she finally accepted the pill and consumed it.
Quickly, a cocoon of white energy enveloped her.
Three hours later...
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King finished absorbing the pill's effects, emerging completely transformed. His body and soul felt rejuvenated, as if he had been reborn.
"Thank you for your divine grace, Master!"
Kneeling again, the whale expressed heartfelt gratitude. Any doubts about Zhou Yi's intentions vanished.
In its heart, Zhou Yi's power was now far beyond comprehension—more terrifying than even the Sea God.
Cracks began to form in the cocoon surrounding Bai Xiuxiu, signaling her successful transformation. Zhou Yi immediately isolated the area, while the Deep Sea Demon Whale King tactfully turned away.
With a crisp crack, the cocoon shattered, revealing a stunning young woman. Her long, sky-blue hair shimmered like crystal, and her deep blue eyes mirrored the profound depths of the ocean.
Zhou Yi handed her a white gown. Her fair cheeks blushed crimson as she quickly dressed.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Bai Xiuxiu, flustered, clutched her skirt hem as she bowed shyly.
He'd seen everything—how embarrassing!
"Let's go back!"
Zhou Yi took her hand and commanded the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who promptly reverted to his massive whale form.
Standing atop the leviathan's head, Zhou Yi exuded boundless confidence as he declared, "Onward, to Sea God Island!"
The ocean roared as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King sped through the water like a sword, heading toward Seagod Island.
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, was frantic.
"Where's Xiuxiu?"
Upon waking, Xiao Bai had been informed that Bai Xiuxiu was missing. Despite scouring the surrounding area, there was no trace of her.
"Where could she have gone?"
"The Evil Demon Killer Whales has been subdued, and there's no danger nearby…" Xiao Bai frowned deeply.
Beside her, the Sea Maiden Douluo tried to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Xiao Bai. Xiuxiu is strong—perhaps she's just wandered off."
"If only my husband were here, he'd surely find her…"
Dong!
Before she could finish speaking, Sea God Island's alarm bells suddenly rang out.
"Something's wrong!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo's expression shifted as she hurried off, with Xiao Bai following close behind.
Soon, the island's strongest gathered, including Bo Saixi, who stood radiant and imposing with her staff in hand.
"High Priestess, what's happening?" the Sea Dragon Douluo asked, confused.
"I sense no immediate danger."
Bo Saixi's azure eyes gazed solemnly at the sea.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is coming!"
