"Hehehe, I'm not a devil—I'm a demon~" Ye Feng grinned widely with a sinister laugh before charging at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King once more.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Rip—"
In an instant, the ice shattered, and flesh flew everywhere.
The sounds of teeth armor and bones shattering echoed continuously.
"No… NOOOO!!!"
"BOOM!!"
The Evil Orca King was completely pinned to the ground by Ye Feng, forced to detonate the "Thunder Pearl" in its grasp out of desperation.
A terrifying mushroom cloud erupted!
The entire ice surface trembled violently, leaving behind a massive crater over a kilometer in diameter!
The sheer destructive power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Thunder Pearl was horrifying.
Deep within the crater, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King lay in a mangled, bloody heap, a gaping wound on its abdomen bleeding profusely.
In the distance, Ye Feng stood up from the ground, shaking his head slightly. The phantom image of dragon scales flickered across his body—clearly, he was completely unharmed.
Only the immense shockwave and deafening explosion had left his ears slightly numb.
"H-how… is this possible…"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was utterly terrified to see Ye Feng completely unscathed even after its Thunder Pearl's self-detonation.
"Nothing's impossible. So-called 'Million Year Soul Beast'—just a worthless lump of trash."
Ye Feng flicked his wrist and slowly strode toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
His towering three-meter frame was now four to five times larger than the whale king's current form, the overwhelming pressure driving the beast to the brink of despair.
"Human… I admit your strength. But if you think you can take my Soul Bone, I won't let you have it!"
With those words, knowing escape was impossible, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King gritted its teeth—and attempted to detonate its entire cultivation in a final act of defiance!
"Did I permit you to self-destruct?"
Ye Feng's expression darkened as he activated the [Genesis Divine Domain]—forcibly altering the rules—prohibiting self-destruction.
Self-detonation was, after all, a type of Soul Skill, and thus could be restricted.
"What's happening… Why can't I control my power… This can't be…"
Just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King tried to muster all its energy for a mutual demise, it realized something was obstructing the detonation—rendering it completely impossible.
"You… It's you! What did you do to me?!" The whale king stared at Ye Feng in horror, its heart drowning in despair…
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, it had never encountered such a bizarre human.
The only being it had ever feared was the Sea God of old.
But now that the Sea God had ascended, it believed nothing in this world could threaten it—only to discover someone even more terrifying than the Sea God himself.
Before it could process this revelation, Ye Feng closed the distance in an instant, landing several brutal punches.
"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Each devastating strike tore through flesh and bone.
In mere moments, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's life was utterly extinguished.
And with its death—
A terrifying surge of energy erupted from its body.
"Hummm—"
The whale king's energy could no longer sustain its shape-shifted form. A boundless blue light flashed, revealing the corpse of a colossal demon whale over a hundred meters long.
A golden-red Soul Ring slowly emerged from the corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The massive Soul Ring, over fifty meters in diameter, radiated the unique pressure of a 990,000-year Soul Beast.
Nine golden patterns coiled around the golden-red Soul Ring, representing its terrifying age.
"A 990,000-year Soul Ring… What a pity, just one step short~" Ye Feng couldn't help but feel regret upon seeing it.
Just a little more, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could have truly reached the million-year mark.
At this point, 99% of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body had already reached a divine level—only the final step remained to break through and become a true Beast God!
However, that final step was like an insurmountable chasm for it.
And even if it had succeeded, it would have had to endure a divine-level Heavenly Tribulation—something it absolutely could not have survived.
The reason the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had lived so long was likely due to the Sea God's schemes.
As the god of the ocean, the Sea God governed the rules of this domain, greatly weakening the power of the Heavenly Tribulation and allowing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to grow to this level—all to serve as nourishment for the Sea God's successor.
Even without Tang San, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would have inevitably perished, destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation.
And after its death, another 900,000-year Soul Beast would have risen from the depths to dominate these waters…
Until the Sea God's inheritor appeared, slaying it and seizing this immense opportunity.
"Since Tang San hasn't grown strong enough yet, I'll just have to claim this opportunity for myself~"
Ye Feng smiled faintly before pressing his hand against the 990,000-year Soul Ring before him.
"Buzz—"
Boundless Soul Power surged into his body, while a powerful "Soul Shock"—carrying the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's endless resentment from its dying moments—relentlessly assailed Ye Feng's mind.
"Scram."
With a slight tremor of his Mental Strength, Ye Feng's spiritual sea instantly shattered all of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lingering hatred.
His Mental Strength was already nearing the peak of the Spirit Domain Realm. One more step, and he would reach the legendary God Origin Realm.
In terms of Mental Strength, he was practically at the pinnacle of this world—naturally, he had no fear of a mere remnant of resentment.
As for his physical constitution, that went without saying.
Endless energy from the Soul Ring poured into Ye Feng's body.
Not only that, but Ye Feng also discovered that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso bone had been drawn in by the million-year Soul Ring, merging into his body as well.
"What the—? Is this torso bone really this bizarre?"
Ye Feng was inwardly surprised.
He remembered that when Tang San absorbed this thing, the Soul Bone had also been taken in alongside the Soul Ring.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's torso bone hadn't granted Tang San any Soul Bone Skills—instead, it had elevated his Domain to its utmost limit.
"Well, improving my Domain isn't bad either…"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment. His Domains could all fuse together, so a comprehensive enhancement wouldn't be unwelcome.
...
...
As he absorbed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Soul Ring, the most obvious change was the continued unsealing of Ye Feng's Bloodline, now approaching 60%.
In just ten minutes, Ye Feng had completely assimilated this 990,000-year Soul Ring.
"Boom—"
A faint tremor ran through Ye Feng's aura as his Soul Power directly broke through to level 71—then continued skyrocketing!
72!
73!
79!
80!
"Max level again?!"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, pleasantly surprised by this unexpected outcome.
On one hand, his own accumulation was substantial enough that even absorbing a normal Soul Ring would allow him to break through to level 75 or above.
Additionally, with the boost from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's super Soul Ring, his cultivation directly soared to level 80!
Beneath Ye Feng's feet, the seventh Soul Ring slowly emerged!
And at this moment, the seventh Soul Ring was not 990,000 years, but a dazzling golden million years!
