Chapter 305: The Hunt for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King

Qian Renxue's fighting spirit was burning fiercely, and it soon ignited Dugu Yan's as well.

"Yes! We'll make Chen bow to our charm! We need to ascend to godhood as soon as possible—I absolutely must make that 'beast' crawl out of here on his knees!" Dugu Yan's eyes blazed with fire. Making Li Luochen suffer had become her obsession.

If she couldn't strike back at least once, her heart would never find peace!

With that, the two women entered the Demon Whale Sea.

Dugu Yan raised her head, looking up at the golden sun in the sky, and let out a resounding dragon roar. The piercing sound tore through the heavens like an arrow. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks could all clearly sense Dugu Yan's battle intent surging at an exponential rate, quickly reaching a terrifying level.

A faint golden glow emanated from her body—not the power of her martial soul, but rather her skin itself.

After recovering from her battle with Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan's body had grown even stronger and more resilient, bringing her closer to the level of a god.

Though this faint light was still far from matching the radiant gold of Qian Renxue, it signified that Dugu Yan was no longer purely human—she had truly become a demigod.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was no weaker. She unleashed a long, piercing cry, reminiscent of her sixth soul skill, Angelic Roar, radiating immense power.

The surrounding creatures felt their soul power trembling under the pressure.

The sheer magnitude of Dugu Yan's fully released dragon roar was overwhelming. Its penetrating sound shattered the heavens above and plunged into the depths of the sea. Amidst this deafening roar, Dugu Yan charged into the Demon Whale Sea first.

In her right hand, the Sea God Trident pointed diagonally at the ocean's surface. Her eyes were filled with an aura of absolute dominance. Her purple-blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her sleek blue outfit exuded a striking heroism. On her forehead, the trident mark glowed with blinding golden light, resembling a third eye.

Close behind her, Qian Renxue followed suit, diving into the sea. Though the ocean wasn't the natural domain of the Six-Winged Angel, she didn't believe that a mere body of water could restrain her.

The Angelic Holy Sword in her hand shone like the sun, its brilliance undimmed even underwater!

The two women's roars also startled countless sea soul beasts in the surrounding waters of the Demon Whale Sea.

It had been countless years since anyone dared challenge the majesty of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. This sudden appearance of challengers shocked the sea soul beasts immensely.

In their minds, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was an invincible and terrifying entity! And yet, these challengers were mere humans. Many sea soul beasts surfaced, watching the two women floating in the sky from a distance.

The smarter ones retreated further away, while the braver ones cautiously approached the edges of the Demon Whale Sea. Of course, none dared enter the forbidden zone itself.

The crystal-clear sea gradually began to change. The originally sky-blue waters deepened, and the waves within the Demon Whale Sea grew calm, starkly contrasting with the turbulent waters of the surrounding area. This serenity neither spread outward nor allowed any disturbances to affect it. The thick atmosphere seemed to slightly warp the air itself.

Deep Within the Demon Whale Sea, a Mysterious Space

Two enormous whales were playfully teasing a small, young whale.

"Hmm? Husband, someone is approaching. Their presence is incredibly strong—it's making me feel uneasy," the Demon Queen sensed a formidable aura.

"Hahahaha, my dear! Our family's opportunity has arrived! This is the presence of a god—it must be one of Poseidon's inheritors. If I devour them, I will surely ascend to godhood!

Wife, stay here and wait for me. I'll go and deal with those two humans. Once I break through to the divine beast level, I'll take you and our child to ascend to the god realm and enjoy eternal life!"

With that, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King turned and left. As his wife, the Demon Queen had complete confidence in her husband's abilities.

For now, she focused on watching over their daughter.

Once he left this space, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King flicked his tail, and a column of blue light suddenly emerged, shooting rapidly toward the surface.

*Boom!* A massive blue light pillar, five meters in diameter, erupted from the sea without warning. In an instant, it reached beneath Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan sneered. Her left hand transformed into a dragon claw, and she condensed a bluish-purple dragon shadow.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Golden Azure Dragon Soul!"

A colossal azure dragon phantom surged forward, colliding with the blue light pillar. The dragon shadow pierced through the pillar and struck deep into the ocean.

The resulting explosion came from the seawater crashing back into the ocean. Dugu Yan stood steadily in midair, not even swaying, as she effortlessly countered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attack and retaliated with her own soul skill.

In truth, the reason Dugu Yan dared to challenge the overwhelmingly powerful Deep Sea Demon Whale King—who likely surpassed ordinary Limit Douluos—was due to two key advantages: the Light of the Sea God and the dragon's might imbued in her martial soul!

Despite the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's immense strength, it was still a sea soul beast. The Light of the Sea God was a legacy ability from the ancient Sea God who once ruled the oceans. With this alone, Dugu Yan held a significant advantage. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's unparalleled control over the ocean became far less effective against her.

Moreover, Li Luochen had mentioned that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was in the process of transforming into a dragon in order to surpass a million years of cultivation. Anything related to dragons would naturally be suppressed by Dugu Yan's martial soul—the Golden Azure Dragon.

The hierarchy within dragon-kind was extremely strict! While the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's transformation into a dragon had significantly boosted its power, it also came with limitations.

For example, tens of thousands of years ago, during its battle with Di Tian, its newly acquired dragon bloodline had been completely suppressed by Di Tian. Had it not been for its superior cultivation and the advantage of fighting in the ocean, it might have easily perished.

Facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, though still under immense pressure, one thing reassured Dugu Yan: this time, she had brought help. Qian Renxue possessed genuine Limit Douluo-level strength.

Before obtaining her divine artifact, Qian Renxue had single-handedly defeated all the venerable elders of the Spirit Hall. Even when the elders combined forces, she had triumphed over all of them except for Qian Daoliu and Gold Crocodile Douluo, both Limit Douluos.

The elders' pride had been utterly crushed once again. Each of them struggled with their dao hearts after being so thoroughly defeated by someone of the younger generation.

Of course, some were fortunate. For instance, Tyrant Douluo and Qian Jun Douluo later broke through to Level 97, while Qing Luan Douluo began sensing the threshold of Level 98.

All in all, the elders gained something from the experience, but it also served as undeniable proof of how terrifying Qian Renxue's combat prowess truly was.
