"This is the place."

Qian Renhan hovered above a stretch of ocean, his blood-red eyes shrouded in a violet glow—none other than the Tang Sect's secret art, Purple Demon Eye, which he had seized from Tang San. And it wasn't just the first layer, Insight Stage—he had already reached the peak of the third stage, the Mustard Seed Realm.

The Purple Demon Eye is cultivated by absorbing the faint strands of violet energy produced during sunrise. Tang San's absorption of this energy had been passive, allowing the violet light to flow naturally into his eyes. But Qian Renhan was different. From the moment he sensed this energy, he had aggressively gathered it using his Fallen Angel spirit, accelerating his training to extremes.

If Tang San were a straw sipping violet energy, then Qian Renhan was an industrial water pump. Coupled with his already formidable spiritual power—and further enhanced by his use of Autumn Water Dew, which strengthens vision—he had reached the peak of the Mustard Seed Realm in just one month. If it weren't for the time consumed integrating the Xuantian Technique with the Angel Meditation Method, he would've already reached the highest level of the Purple Demon Eye.

Qian Renhan focused his spiritual power through his eyes. His gaze penetrated the ocean's surface, and for the first time, he saw the true form of the Demonic Killer Whales. Compared to other sea creatures, they were massive—thick-bodied and full of brute strength. Their skin was a deep gray-black, and their disproportionately large heads bore terrifying, blade-like teeth that were visible whenever they opened their jaws. Their dark-red eyes radiated a savage aura. In this entire region of the ocean, not a single other creature could be seen swimming—an indication of the demonic Killer Whales' dominance here.

There were around two to three hundred Killer Whales in total, most of them fully grown. Among them, one beast stood out—over thirty meters long and immensely massive, floating in the center of the pod. A faint metallic sheen shimmered across its gray-black skin. There was no mistaking it—this was the Demonic Killer Whale King.

"This blood energy… this soul power… it has to be you." 

Qian Renhan's left hand surged with crimson killing intent. Two blood-red spirit rings appeared beneath his feet as the Shura Sword spirit manifested in his hand. The surface of the sea beneath him began to depress under the weight of his violent aura.

Buzz!

The release of killing intent immediately alerted the Killer Whales. Dozens of Demonic Killer Whale Kings stirred in agitation.

The Demonic Killer Whale King quickly looked up at the black-clad man floating in mid-air, its pupils narrowing as it locked eyes on the two 100,000-year spirit rings. "A human Titled Douluo… Two 100,000-year rings… Twin spirits… He's here to kill me and steal my ring!"

"Clan, with me! We will eliminate this human Titled Douluo!"

The Demonic Killer Whale King let out a piercing screech. Though it clearly understood Qian Renhan's terrifying power, as the ruler of the most savage race in the sea, it would never retreat without a fight.

Over a hundred Killer Whales roared in unison, trailing closely behind their king. The surrounding sea, spanning ten thousand meters, churned like boiling water.

With the Demonic Killer Whale King in the lead, the horde surged forward. Their tails whipped rapidly, crimson soul power flaring as they formed protective barriers around their bodies. Then, all at once, they opened their massive jaws and charged at Qian Renhan.

From below, it looked like a colossal blood-red spear was piercing out of the sea toward the sky.

"Futile resistance."

Qian Renhan's expression didn't waver. He raised the Shura Sword and swung down—one mighty slash. A sword light a thousand meters long tore through the air and collided with the incoming blood-red spear.

There was no deafening explosion or flashy aftermath—just pure annihilation. The sword energy easily shredded through the soul power barriers created by the Demonic Killer Whale King and a dozen high-level Killer Whales. The slash then cut straight toward the king itself.

"Impossible!"

The Demonic Killer Whale King roared in fury, but the sword energy swept through it with overwhelming force, obliterating its body in an instant. The dozens of Killer Whales behind it were also nearly wiped out by that single attack.

In one blow, Qian Renhan had eliminated nearly one-third of the entire Demonic Killer Whale race.

The sea beneath Qian Renhan's feet was nearly dyed red with the blood of the Demonic Killer Whale King. Across the ocean's surface floated countless ten-thousand-year spirit rings and one spirit ring radiating with overwhelming energy—it was a hundred-thousand-year ring.

Despite the massive number of high-level rings going to waste, Qian Renhan felt little emotion. He had his own goals. He didn't hunt soul beasts out of bloodlust, but only on the condition that they didn't seek death on their own. That sword strike had been aimed solely at the Demonic Killer Whale King. The others—those too slow to escape or who had chosen to follow their king into battle—were simply collateral. Their deaths had nothing to do with him.

It was no different than when his battle with Di Tian unleashed devastating energy waves that leveled a large portion of the Star Dou Great Forest. Countless soul beasts had been killed in the aftermath of that clash as well.

Without hesitation, Qian Renhan sat cross-legged atop the severed corpse of the Demonic Killer Whale King and began absorbing its hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, on a remote island…

This island was divided into eight distinct regions, blessed with eternal spring. Lush, tender vegetation thrived in abundance, and magnificent cities dotted the land. This was Seagod Island—the sacred land of oceanic spirit masters.

At the center of Seagod Island stood a colossal palace, towering over a thousand meters tall. Inside, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened—eyes that had remained closed for countless years. Their owner turned her gaze toward a distant location.

She was kneeling with hands clasped in reverence before a statue. Her figure stood about 1.8 meters tall, completely enveloped in flowing robes. Her long white hair cascaded freely down her back, nearly reaching the ground. Though she appeared no older than thirty, her beauty stemmed not only from her features, but from an aura of nobility, elegance, and gentle warmth.

This was Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Seagod Island.

Bo Saixi carefully perceived the distant disturbance. Joy briefly flickered across her face, only to fade into disappointment.

"A stranger… an unfamiliar Limit Douluo. That area seems to be the Demonic Killer Whale King's territory."

"Could they be here to help a junior hunt for a spirit ring? I must send someone to investigate."

Rising to her feet, Bo Saixi extended her right hand. With a single pull, a golden scepter over three meters long appeared. The scepter glowed with the same golden brilliance that had just flashed in the sky. It was adorned with intricate magical engravings, ending in a spear-like diamond-shaped tip. Five inches below the tip, a flawless golden gem was embedded into the shaft, gleaming in her grasp.

"Sea Dragon. Xiao Bai."

Bo Saixi stepped out of the palace, gently striking the ground with her scepter as her serene voice echoed across the island.

"High Priestess," the two replied in unison.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark transformed into human form and, along with the strongest of the Seven Sacred Pillars—Sea Dragon Douluo—kneeled before Seagod Mountain.

Bo Saixi ordered calmly, "Go investigate the identity of this unfamiliar Limit Douluo. Under no circumstances are they to develop hostility toward Seagod Island."

"As you command, High Priestess." ×2

Sea Dragon Douluo summoned his spirit, and together with the Demon Soul Great White Shark, they sped off toward the Demonic Killer Whale King's domain.

Half an hour later, Qian Renhan opened his eyes. He had fully absorbed the Demonic Killer Whale King's hundred-thousand-year ring. In addition, a new soul bone had formed on his left leg.

"The gap between Rank 98 and Rank 99 really is enormous. Just one hundred-thousand-year ring and a soul bone were only enough to push me to the peak of Rank 98."

Qian Renhan stood and looked off into the distance. "Time to deal with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's essence was composed of water and lightning. Its innate ability was devouring. Water bore a loose connection to the ice element of his Fallen Angel spirit, but lightning—lightning was the nemesis of darkness and evil. It could only be used to strengthen his Shura Sword spirit.
