Chapter 440 Controlling the Soul
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's pupils contracted sharply, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered.
The Spirit World!
They really are invaders from another dimension!
No wonder the other party's aura was so unfamiliar and so powerful.
It has a completely different power system from Douluo Continent and the God Realm!
A storm raged within him!
An envoy from an unfamiliar, high-level plane possesses such terrifying strength.
This is enough to prove that the overall strength of the spirit realm is probably no less than that of the god realm, and may even be stronger than the god realm!
And their goal was to control the entire Douluo Continent!
Despite the fact that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has always been an enemy of human soul masters and is determined to seek revenge.
But he was, after all, a soul beast of the Douluo Continent, having lived on this continent for tens of thousands of years. This was his home, his foundation.
He can be an enemy of humanity and vie for continental hegemony, but he will never allow invaders from other dimensions to meddle in or control his homeland!
A surge of anger instantly ignited from the depths of his heart, overwhelming his fear.
His face remained expressionless; he neither immediately refused nor nodded in agreement.
His mind raced as he considered countermeasures, his eyes cold, his divine power subtly circulating, ready to strike at any moment.
He knew in his heart that once he revealed all the information about Douluo Continent, the Spirit Realm army would definitely launch a large-scale invasion.
At that time, all living beings on the Douluo Continent, including humans and soul beasts, will become slaves of the spirit world, their lives and deaths not in their own hands.
He and the Demon Emperor ultimately could not escape death!
"This is the only way!!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King silently thought to himself, quietly protecting the Demon Emperor as he slowly retreated.
At the same time, the power of his bloodline was instantly activated, and he began to frantically mobilize the ocean power around him!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
In an instant, the entire endless sea began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding seawater seemed to come alive, surging wildly along a specific trajectory.
A massive amount of ocean primordial power surged into the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like a tidal wave!
His aura surged wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A faint blue divine light surrounded him, and the fluctuations of his divine power grew stronger and stronger.
All of this is thanks to the reward from the previous God Ranking – the Heart of the Ocean!
During this period, he cultivated diligently day and night, and finally completely refined the Heart of the Ocean, which was a reward from the Heavenly Curtain!
It has gained the approval of the Ocean Spirit!
From then on, he was able to temporarily and greatly enhance his strength by drawing upon part of the power of the sea, just like Poseidon of Poseidon Island.
...
The Netherworld Envoy observed the changes in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, sensing the strong resonance between him and the surrounding seawater, as well as the rapidly escalating aura emanating from him.
A hint of surprise finally flashed in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow with interest and murmured to himself.
"Hmm? Interesting. A mere native is actually able to gain the recognition of the ocean power of this plane and enhance its strength by borrowing the power of the sea."
"You seem to be hiding quite a secret."
"It seems I made the right choice in this trip. I'm sure I can get all the information I need from you."
Despite his surprise, the Netherworld Envoy showed no fear; on the contrary, he became even more interested.
In her eyes, even with the power of the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was still just a slightly stronger ant that could be easily suppressed.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King ignored the words of the Nine Netherworld Envoy, his gaze growing increasingly solemn.
Knowing that further words would be pointless, he drew his divine weapon—the Abyss Blade!
The long sword was drawn, its blade jet black, shrouded in dense abyssal divine power, radiating a chilling killing intent.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King gripped the Abyss Divine Blade, his aura exploding outwards, reaching the peak of his combat power, ready to fight to the death at any moment!
The Nine Netherworld Messenger watched as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King appeared to be facing a formidable enemy and was preparing to attack.
He instantly understood his choice, a deep disdain and mockery curling at the corner of his lips as he spoke indifferently.
"It seems you intend to put up a stubborn resistance and refuse to cooperate obediently. If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the hard one."
"With your meager strength, you dare to make a move in front of me? Your courage is truly commendable."
"Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all resistance is futile."
After he finished speaking, the Netherworld Messenger said no more!
His eyes turned slightly cold, and his vast and boundless aura of the Divine Emperor Realm erupted instantly!
"boom!"
Without any fancy moves, the mere vibration of his aura made the entire deep sea seem to freeze in time.
The seawater stopped flowing, and space froze!
All surrounding energy and laws were completely suppressed!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was about to make a move, suddenly froze.
He felt an irresistible, invisible force instantly and completely seal off his body.
From the physical body to the soul, they were completely unable to move an inch!
Even the divine power and bloodline power circulating within his body were forcibly suppressed and stagnated!
He wanted to wield the Abyss Blade and harness the power of the ocean.
No matter how hard they struggled, it was all in vain!
My body felt as if it were nailed to the void, and I completely lost control of it!
The Demon Emperor, standing to the side, was also locked in place by this divine emperor's pressure, his body stiff and unable to move.
His face was filled with despair and helplessness.
"How is that possible!"
"How can he be so strong!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was completely overwhelmed by despair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The mere release of his aura completely imprisoned him, leaving him no chance to struggle.
Is this their true strength?
Even though he used the power of the ocean and unleashed his full combat strength, he was still no match for his opponent!
He frantically tried to guess the other party's realm: God King Realm?
Impossible! Even a god-king couldn't suppress him with just his aura!
Could it be?
An absurd yet incredibly real thought instantly surfaced in his mind.
Could this person's strength be the Divine Emperor Realm that he only learned about from the Heavenly Curtain?
It's over!
Just when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was in despair!
The Netherworld Messenger walked slowly to him, looked at him casually as he was imprisoned, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Why bother? Why force me to resort to such methods?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand, and a faint trace of eerie divine power gathered at her fingertips.
With a gentle touch, it landed directly on the forehead of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
A trace of malevolent divine power instantly invaded the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
It caused no harm, but directly imprisoned his soul and consciousness, and took control of his mind.
The next second, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes, which were originally full of anger and struggle, instantly turned black and empty!
He was completely listless, his whole being dazed, like a walking corpse.
Completely losing their autonomy, they became puppets controlled by the Nine Netherworld Messengers.
Upon seeing this, the Netherworld Messenger casually released the restraints on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body.
She looked at him indifferently and slowly asked a question, her voice carrying a bewitching power.
"Now, tell me, who is the strongest person in Douluo Continent? What are the top forces?"
"He told us all the important information about the mainland, word for word."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, in a daze, had no expression on its face and stared blankly ahead.
He spoke slowly and mechanically, revealing all the information about Douluo Continent.
"Douluo Continent is a plane where human soul masters and soul beasts coexist. There are many forces on the continent, mainly human forces such as Beidou Academy, Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Seagod Island, as well as the Star Dou Great Forest, which is dominated by soul beast forces..."
"The strongest person on the continent is Lu Xiao, the dean of Beidou Academy, whose cultivation has reached the God Emperor Realm. He is the strongest person in this plane... Beidou Academy has two God Emperor Realm warriors and many God King Realm and God-level experts. Its foundation is unparalleled on the continent..."
"..."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King made no attempt to conceal anything in his words.
From the distribution of power on the continent to the realm of top experts, and all the information on the God Ranking, everything was told to the Nine Nether Envoy in its entirety, without missing a single word.
...
Meanwhile, in the void ten thousand meters above the deep sea.
A golden figure concealed itself within the spatial rift, perfectly masking its presence.
Silently watching everything that was happening in the deep sea below.
This person is none other than Sun Wukong, who was sent by Lu Xiao to monitor the messengers of the Nine Netherworlds!
He carried the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) on his shoulder, and his golden monkey fur fluttered slightly in the void.
The monkey looked down at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who was being controlled and revealing information by the Nine Netherworld Messenger, with great interest, but his face was full of boredom.
"Sigh, what on earth is this woman up to? Going through all that trouble just to gather information? How utterly boring!"
Sun Wukong muttered to himself, scratching his ears and cheeks, his heart filled with anxiety.
"I, Old Sun, am getting impatient. Let's get started! This is the perfect opportunity for me to stretch my muscles and have a good fight!"
He had long yearned for a thrilling and exhilarating battle.
Now that they've finally found a worthy opponent at the God Emperor realm, all the opponent does is gather information.
He felt incredibly frustrated because they didn't lift a finger.
However, he kept Lu Xiao's orders in mind: since the other party had not done anything to harm Douluo Continent, he absolutely could not act rashly.
They could only patiently hide in the void, quietly watching the Nine Netherworld Messenger's every move, waiting for the best opportunity.
