The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King didn't expect that the human Soul Master before it could actually withstand its powerful strike.
Yan knew that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wouldn't be so easily defeated.
So, after receiving the blow, taking advantage of the moment it was unsteady, Yan proactively launched his counterattack.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's massive body could maximize its own energy output, but that was also its weakness. Its overly large size meant it had no advantage in speed when facing Yan.
Its broad back and hard skull formed a formidable defense, but the tail was its weakest point.
Yan's figure vanished like a phantom from his original position, instantly crossing several hundred meters, appearing directly above the massive body's tail of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze. On the sea surface, only Yan's resolute and determined gaze remained, and the slightly widened eyes of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, shocked.
"Die, Demonic Whale King!"
Yan let out a low roar, and the crimson-gold flames on the Fire God Sword surged violently, carrying a heat sufficient to incinerate all things, and slashed fiercely at the giant tail of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"Boom!"
At the instant the sword edge touched the tail, a deafening explosion erupted, as if an invisible giant hammer had slammed into the sea surface, raising towering waves.
The surrounding seawater seemed to be ignited in that moment, glowing with waves of red light.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King let out a painful roar, its massive body shuddering violently from the intense pain.
Its giant tail was slashed by the Fire God Sword, leaving a charred-black crack, and a pungent scorched smell spread through the seawater.
However, as the overlord of the ocean, the vitality of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was beyond imagination.
Receiving such a strike only stirred up an even stronger fighting spirit within it.
"Human, you know nothing of my power. You think this can kill me? What a delusional fantasy!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suddenly swung its body, attempting to sweep Yan away with its enormous tail.
Its frenziedly thrashing tail stirred up layer upon layer of giant waves, mixed with violent lightning attacks, making it hard for Yan to get close.
The sixth spirit ring on Yan's body suddenly lit up, and the crimson-gold figure split into two.
The main body, wielding the Fire God Sword, flew to the front of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, while the clone remained at its tail.
Facing two flame lords at once, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was startled, but quickly calmed down.
It knew that the one in front was Yan's main body, while the one behind was a clone.
The one holding the Fire God Sword was clearly the greater threat, so focusing on him would suffice.
As for the clone behind, it only needed to prevent him from approaching easily.
But it still underestimated the situation.
Yan's main body, like a war god wreathed in flames, wielded the Fire God Sword and launched a fierce attack on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Crimson-gold flames tore through the air, rushing straight toward the giant skull of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"Roar~"
The Demonic Whale King roared in fury, its massive body rolling on the sea surface, sending out wave after wave of blue water blades with overwhelming momentum toward Yan's main body.
At the same time, its enormous tail madly slapped the sea surface, trying to swat Yan's clone into the endless abyss.
Utilizing his advantage in speed, Yan's main body and clone used the teleportation skill of his left leg soul bone, freely shuttling through the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's frenzied attacks with ease.
After several rounds of intense confrontation, the attack power of Yan's main body showed no signs of diminishing.
At the same time, he was secretly maneuvering the clone to silently approach the injured tail of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
The clone tightly held a small, exquisite jade bottle, which contained the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This spring water contained the purest extreme cold and extreme heat poison between Heaven and Earth. Once it touched a living organism, it could trigger unimaginable pain and destruction.
While the Demonic Whale King's attention was drawn by the main body, the clone moved swiftly, uncorking the bottle and gently tilting it. The crystal-clear spring water scattered like fine rain, instantly seeping into the wound.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body trembled violently, pain clearly written on its face. Its massive body twisted intensely from the clash of two extreme forces.
"Ah——!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a shrill scream. The extreme cold and heat poison of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well rampaged through its body, as if countless sharp blades were slicing through it, and tens of thousands of icy spikes were freezing its blood vessels.
Its power began to spiral out of control, and its ferocious attacks became chaotic and disorganized. Its massive tail slammed against the sea surface, splashing water that was laced with threads of white mist and red glow — a manifestation of the intertwining of ice and fire.
"You evil human, what exactly have you done to me?!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King roared furiously, while simultaneously channeling its soul power to resist the invasion of the extreme cold and heat poison into its internal organs.
After all, it was a Nine hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even when invaded by the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it still possessed the strength to resist.
Yan withdrew his clone, stood firm in mid-air, and stared at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Taking advantage of the time it was fending off the poison, he rapidly recovered the soul power he had expended in the battle.
"Demon Whale King, let me tell you the truth. That spring water I used contains the power of the bones of the ancient divine beasts, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. With your current body, you simply cannot resist their invasion for long. Accept your death obediently, and the pain will be less."
"Divine-level soul beasts, Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was greatly shocked.
Although the dragon race had already perished, they were still beings revered by all soul beasts.
Looking at Yan, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly thought of something and burst into laughter.
"You still miscalculated. Once I devour you, I'll be able to ascend to the divine level and completely transform myself. Then I won't need to worry about being unable to resist the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's bones, haha~"
"Demon Whale King, your obsession really runs deep. At your speed, you can't even touch me. How are you going to devour me?"
"Hmph! Then I'll erase your speed advantage completely!"
As soon as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's words fell, its enormous body began to spin.
A tremendous energy burst forth suddenly, making it impossible to approach.
Immediately afterward, a massive blue-purple vortex appeared on the surface of the sea, intertwined with purple lightning. That violent energy became even more terrifying.
As the furious energy compressed wildly, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's two-hundred-meter-long massive body gradually disappeared from Yan's sight.
Yan knew that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was transforming into a human form.
This was exactly what Yan had wanted he had deliberately provoked it to force its transformation.
After transforming, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's speed and defense would reach their peak, but its overall strength would not be as powerful as its original form.
As expected, when the sea gradually calmed down, a middle-aged man with a rugged face appeared in front of Yan.
He was over three meters tall, with long deep blue hair. His entire body was covered in a crystalline deep purple armor, with no visible seams or joints.
At the center of his breastplate, there seemed to be an embedded deep purple gemstone. Within the gem swirled a rotating energy, appearing extremely eerie
