"I have a way."
Ning Rongrong's sudden voice echoed, startling the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King standing beside her.
The voice did not come from her mouth; it appeared directly in his consciousness.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King immediately grew wary.
They had a cooperative foundation, but mutual trust? Neither the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nor Ning Rongrong herself believed in that.
Before he could question her, the voice rang in his mind again:
"Don't worry, I can't do anything to you."
"As an auxiliary-type soul master, being able to transmit my voice to someone I've buffed is perfectly normal, right?"
Hearing this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's expression remained unchanged, but he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
He cooperated with Ning Rongrong only because he had no choice.
Those ruffians from Sea God Island kept wanting to harm him—was he not allowed to fight back?
Still, compared to the Sea Princess and the others, he feared Ning Rongrong far more.
Which auxiliary-type soul master could consecutively slay five soul beasts over 100,000 years old without even breathing hard?
If that was "auxiliary," who knew how terrifying her actual combat power could be.
"I can make the Sea Princess freeze for roughly one second—only her body, not her spirit."
"Do you have a way to kill her?"
"One second…"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell into thought.
"There's a good chance, but I can't guarantee one hundred percent."
The Sea Princess was a soul beast with extremely strong spirit. Who knew if she had some special defensive skill?
"That's enough." Ning Rongrong's voice sounded in his mind again. "I want her soul ring and soul bones. No problem, right?"
They had an agreement before, but a soul ring and bones over 600,000 years were still very tempting to Ning Rongrong.
She might not need them herself, but one never knew.
"Fine." After a long silence, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nodded.
He only wanted his injuries healed. As for becoming a god—since that was impossible now, there was no need to be desperate and devour everything in sight.
"Very good."
"The Sea Princess is at your 9 o'clock direction, 1,732 meters away."
"I'll restrict her movement in ten seconds. There's only one chance. If she's prepared, we probably won't get another."
"No problem?" Ning Rongrong continued transmitting while glancing sideways at the calm-looking Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"This… which direction is 9 o'clock?"
Ning Rongrong: "…"
Ignorance is terrifying.
After all that explanation, you didn't understand a thing!
With no other choice, Ning Rongrong spent a moment teaching him with simple terms he could understand.
"So that's the direction? Why show off like that!" the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King inwardly complained. "Humans always add weird unnecessary things."
"Yes, yes." Ning Rongrong's eyelid twitched. "In short, ten seconds from now your attack must land, and preferably at close range. That way she won't escape."
"Understood."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nodded.
The sneaky human and beast finalized their plan.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King took a large step forward. Countless electric arcs surged around his body, causing even his hair to stand slightly on end.
"Hah!"
"Purple Lightning Orbs!"
The secret technique combining lightning and water—purple lightning orbs—quietly hovered in all directions. Though he couldn't locate her himself, with Ning Rongrong's confirmation he poured in full power.
On the other side, the Sea Princess's expression grew grave.
She didn't know what the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was up to, but the churning thunder energy within her domain made even a half-god like her feel palpitations.
"No wonder this fellow survived the combined assault of Bo Saixi and Tang Chen."
"This strength truly surpasses mine by quite a bit."
As she spoke, she didn't even notice the bead of cold sweat sliding down her temple.
"Hmph, so what if it's a wide-area skill?"
"Within my vast Ice and Snow Domain, everything you do is futile."
Though inside her domain, her mental power extended outward allowed her to sense extremely far.
"At most five minutes, and those two will arrive."
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Ning Rongrong, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—just enjoy yourselves a few more minutes."
Suddenly, the Sea Princess felt her body grow sluggish.
Her expression changed drastically.
"Not good—space solidification! No, there's also time!"
"Damn it!" Her pupils contracted as she tried to react.
But time and space acting together slowed even her thoughts.
"Demonic Whale Domain!"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King erupted with terrifying pressure. Bang bang bang—dense cracks instantly appeared across the Ice and Snow Domain. In the blink of an eye it shattered. The Demonic Whale Domain possessed binding power.
The already sluggish Sea Princess could now barely move at all.
"Bastard!"
"Despicable!" The Sea Princess cursed furiously, desperately circulating her soul power with her spirit.
She had been too confident in her own mental strength—certain she would detect any attack and that she could stall until Bo Saixi and Tang Chen arrived.
The only thing she miscalculated was that Ning Rongrong actually possessed time abilities.
Almost the instant the Demonic Whale Domain formed, the purple orbs that had been hovering around flashed with lightning and water radiance and rushed toward the Sea Princess from every direction at unbelievable speed.
As a Limit Douluo-level soul beast, her body was incredibly tough.
Even after being struck by countless purple orbs and letting out pained wails, she did not die immediately.
As more and more purple orbs gathered, even the Demonic Whale Domain began to destabilize.
Scorching lightning pierced the sky, directly tearing a massive hole in the domain.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A violent thunder pillar over a hundred meters thick appeared where sky and sea met, practically connecting ocean and heavens.
The light lasted two and a half minutes before gradually fading.
At this moment, the Sea Princess was charred black, as if roasted over-roasted.
Her body emitted the smell of grilled fish.
"You… you despicable…!"
Though her body smoked, the Sea Princess's rage seemed ready to swallow Ning Rongrong and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King whole.
"Despicable is the epitaph of the despicable." Ning Rongrong's words fell.
A silver-white flying sword shot from behind and slashed toward the Sea Princess's neck.
Shiiing—
Crimson blood sprayed out. Her face showed disbelief and unwillingness.
Her body and head, severed in two, plop plop fell into the churning sea.
A blood-red soul ring rose into the air.
The blood-colored ring dyed the surrounding air red.
Ning Rongrong controlled the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to receive the soul ring and soul bones.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King reverted to his original form, opened his bloody maw, and swallowed the Sea Princess's corpse along with the surrounding sea soul beast corpses and seawater in one gulp.
"Stop!"
The moment the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King swallowed the Sea Princess, an extremely furious voice came from afar. Hearing it, he paused devouring the surrounding flesh and blood.
His enormous eyes stared fixedly at the place where sea met sky.
Ning Rongrong's gaze shifted slightly as she murmured, "They're finally here—Bo Saixi, Tang Chen!"
