After hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone sat on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and began to cultivate, while the other two Deep Sea Demons circled around them. Yang Xiong also started to organize the gains he had made beside the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
By absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Million Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, Yang Xiong's strength had significantly increased; his Soul Power level had already reached Level 98.
It's worth noting that when Yang Xiong left Sea God Island, he was already at Level 92, but he had not absorbed any Soul Rings since then. Afterward, he also absorbed the top-quality Dragon Bones from the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
With the absorption of the Million Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, his physical quality received a tremendous boost. Due to the sacrificial nature of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the torso Soul Bone perfectly fused with his entire body. The previously missing torso bone was now complete, and all his bones could form a perfect armor.
Especially the three External Soul Bones, all of which had reached the Hundred Thousand Year level. The Ice Fire Dragon Claw had also reached this level, possessing not only extreme ice and fire effects but also being incredibly sharp, comparable to a Divine Artifact.
The Dark Tortoise Armor finally underwent a transformation under the Heavenly Tribulation, evolving like a tortoise-type Soul Beast into the Black Tortoise Armor, achieving an unimaginable level of defense.
Under the blood-red lightning of the world's rules, it seemed as though Yang Xiong underwent body refinement once more, suffering countless injuries and recovering repeatedly. He felt as if he had been tempered a thousand times, entering a new level, even his Martial Soul reached a new stage.
Now, Yang Xiong felt that just relying on his body, he had already reached the pinnacle of this world, capable of surpassing the Limit Douluo.
His Domain also changed; the original Slaughter Domain was tempered under the Heavenly Tribulation and, with the enhancement of the Million Year Soul Ring, finally evolved into a true God-tier Domain, transforming from the Slaughter Domain into the Asura Domain.
Most importantly, the Ninth Soul Ring Soul Bone granted him a total of eight Soul Skills, each with astonishing power, showcasing the rare Million Year Soul Skills.
The first skill of the Ninth Soul Ring: Demon Whale Gaze, a mental domain skill that traps enemies as if they were submerged in deep water, restricting their mental strength.
The second skill: Thunder Halberd, which allows the user to condense a hundred-meter-long halberd to attack enemies, possessing extreme water and lightning attributes, capable of locking onto targets with mental power and triggering massive lightning explosions.
The third skill: Asura Thunder Annihilation, which summons terrifying heavenly lightning that can devastate everything.
The fourth skill: Demon Whale Wrathful Dragon Transformation, an extreme amplification skill that, when activated, grants the user the power and defense of a Million Year Demon Whale, resembling a deity.
The first skill of the torso Soul Bone: Whale Emperor's Guard, which forms a purple armor around the body, providing absolute defense.
The second skill: Boundless Sea, which allows the user to harness the power of the ocean to counter enemies, trapping them with water elements.
The third skill: Demon Whale Wrathful Wave Slash, an ultimate single-target attack skill that combines water and lightning attributes to break through all defenses.
The fourth skill: Demon Whale Mirror Annihilation, a defensive control skill that transforms all surrounding energy into azure crystals, capable of blocking and reflecting all energy attacks, trapping enemies in a mirrored world where their vision and mental power are completely obstructed.
Yang Xiong carefully observed these eight Soul Skills and couldn't help but marvel at their immense power, truly befitting Million Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills.
From these eight skills, it was clear that they included mental attack skills, mental control skills, extreme amplification skills, as well as absolute water and lightning attribute offensive skills, making them incredibly versatile, with each skill possessing unique effects.
With just these eight Million Year Soul Skills, he could completely contend with a Limit Douluo, and if he used them to their fullest potential, he might even stand a chance against a deity.
When Yang Xiong returned to the Spiritual Sea, the originally blood-red Spiritual Sea had undergone a significant transformation.
In addition to the original Golden Giant, there was now a massive Deep Sea Demon Whale and countless blood-red lightning bolts.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King transformed back into his middle-aged form, appearing much gentler than before.
"Yang Xiong, I have just transformed into a Million Year Soul Beast and am still unaware of the characteristics that come with it, so I made some mistakes."
Yang Xiong asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem? I feel like my strength has greatly increased, and I could even fight a god now."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded, "Considering your current physical quality and Soul Ring configuration, you can barely reach the strength of a god, but unfortunately, I miscalculated."
"Normally, if a Million Year Soul Beast sacrifices itself, in addition to the original increase in Soul Power and the Soul Ring and Soul Bone skills, it can also grant you an additional attribute-less Martial Soul."
"Unfortunately, during the Heavenly Tribulation, I didn't have time to think about that. Plus, since I have extreme lightning attributes, the Heavenly Tribulation unexpectedly entered your body and soul, leading to the second round directly shattering."
"On the contrary, the Heavenly Tribulation entered the position of your second Martial Soul, so you now possess the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, which is the blood-red energy in this Spiritual Sea. However, this energy can only attach to you and cannot be used to absorb a Soul Ring."
After hearing this, Yang Xiong carefully felt the changes in his Martial Soul. His Asura Martial Soul was now enveloped in blood-red lightning, possessing terrifying destructive power, as if it were an innate ability of the Martial Soul.
Though Yang Xiong had previously mastered lightning energy, it paled in comparison to the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Now, the Heavenly Tribulation power attached to his Asura Martial Soul seemed to surpass even the ultimate lightning power, capable of unimaginable destruction, as if it embodied the rules of this world, capable of destroying everything.
Yang Xiong felt that as long as he mastered this Heavenly Tribulation power, it was akin to grasping the rules of this world; everything in the world felt like mere ants beneath his control.
"Thank you, senior. I am very satisfied and fond of this Heavenly Tribulation power. Compared to a so-called second Martial Soul, I prefer to solve everything with my own strength and to make my body even stronger."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King nodded, "Having a dual Martial Soul does have its advantages, but switching between the two remains an issue, not to mention the potential rejection between them."
"This Heavenly Tribulation is like your second Martial Soul; although you cannot obtain a Soul Ring, it has already fused with your Martial Soul and body, even better than a second Martial Soul. After all, you lack neither skills nor ability."
Yang Xiong carefully observed the Heavenly Tribulation power he had mastered, feeling as if he had undergone a baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation. He sensed a deeper connection with the rules of Douluo Star, making him more familiar with the world's rules.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Xiong finally spoke, "Senior, what do you plan to do now? Should your wife and daughter accompany me back to the Body Sect?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought for a moment before responding, "Yang Xiong, I have spent my life vying for the position of Sea God, and I want to meet the Sea God once."
"As for my wife and daughter, you can arrange that as you see fit. However, this world is quite chaotic right now, and I prefer them to live in the deep sea for the time being; it might be relatively safer that way. Once you become a god, we can make further arrangements, and perhaps our family can reunite then."
Yang Xiong nodded, "That's fine. Your wife's strength is not inferior to yours. In the deep sea, even a god may not be able to deal with her."
"Coincidentally, I also have some matters to attend to at Sea God Island, so I can resolve that along the way."
Time flew by, and three days quickly passed.
Under the communication of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the mother and daughter reluctantly left the place and returned to the deep sea.
Of course, Yang Xiong specifically told them not to reveal themselves to the public before he became a god, as it could attract unwanted attention.
The massive corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King exuded powerful divine power, attracting countless sea soul beasts, but they were all deterred by Yang Xiong.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and the others were cultivating fiercely around the corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It felt like a sea of divine power, and everyone was frantically absorbing the divine energy, rapidly increasing their Soul Power.
In just three days, everyone experienced significant improvements, generally raising their Soul Power by about two levels.
Among them, Ning Rongrong finally reached Level 90. After absorbing the God-Bestowed Soul Ring from the Spiritual Sea, her Soul Power reached Level 91, making her the second Titled Douluo in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the true number one support Soul Master in the continent.
Oscar had reached Level 89, just one step away from becoming a Titled Douluo. He was filled with confidence, believing he could become the first Food System Titled Douluo in history.
His older brother, Yang Wei, had reached Level 88, while Shui Bing'er had achieved Level 84, and Huo Wu had reached Level 83. Feng Xiaotian had also attained Level 89.
Qin Shuang had similarly reached Level 81.
Yang Xiong looked at the massive corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He only took the Whale Pearl and Whale Jelly, ignoring everything else.
According to what the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had said, it had lived its entire life in the ocean. Now that it was dead, its body would return to the sea, which could be seen as a way to repay the ocean for its nurturing.
Yang Xiong was well aware that the Whale Pearl from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a Divine Artifact comparable to the Seagod's Heart, and the Whale Jelly was an exceptionally rare treasure.
Considering the size of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Whale Jelly alone weighed over a thousand pounds. If it were kept in the Body Sect, it could definitely cultivate countless powerful experts.
