Yu Tianming was born with the triple elements of wind, fire, and lightning. Along with the wood and earth elements gained from the soul bones of the Mountain Dragon King and the Sky Azure Bull Python, and finally the purple lightning absorbed from Ah Zhi, they all merged into his soul skill—Sky Azure Divine Lightning.
Multiple elements fused into one, transforming into dazzling white lightning that erupted simultaneously from the three dragon heads with a thunderous roar.
The three lightning beams quickly converged into a massive pillar of lightning over fifty meters in diameter. In the blink of an eye, it crossed several kilometers and struck directly at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Faced with this rapidly incoming lightning, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's colossal two-hundred-meter body couldn't dodge in time. But as a 990,000-year soul beast, it possessed a surprising agility that defied its bulk. Twisting in mid-air, it condensed a layer of blue-purple energy on its massive whale tail.
The moment the Sky Azure Divine Lightning collided with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the white lightning instantly exploded, covering a hundred meters around the whale and making time seem to halt in that instant.
Moments later, the brilliant white light faded, and the residual energy vaporized the surrounding seawater within hundreds of meters, creating a white mist that blanketed the entire surface of the Demon Whale Sea.
In his Martial Soul True Body form, Yu Tianming lightly flapped his wings, unleashing a ring-shaped hurricane that blew away the lingering mist, revealing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King once more.
The Sky Azure Divine Lightning, formed from multiple elemental fusions, didn't strike the whale's body directly. Instead, it left a charred, circular mark on the tail that was protected by the blue-purple energy.
After tens of thousands of years without injury, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt its wound and its eyes flickered with red fury. Despite its high resistance to lightning from its dual water and lightning attributes—and with 99% of its body already at the divine level—how could it be hurt by Yu Tianming's attack?
A hoarse voice echoed from the depths, "If that's your full strength, then today will be your last."
Floating high above, Yu Tianming sneered at the beast below. "Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you're nothing but a moving target to me. Out of respect for your hard-earned cultivation, sacrifice yourself now and I'll preserve your soul."
"You think you've already won? Don't be so cocky!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was thoroughly enraged. Its furious roar shook the Demon Whale Sea.
At the same time, intense blue-purple light erupted around it, transforming into a dazzling crystal shell that encased its massive form.
In less than a heartbeat, the crystal shell exploded, shattering into countless blade-like fragments. These fragments formed a swirling vortex in midair. Within it, the two-hundred-meter-long beast was gone, replaced by a solemn-faced middle-aged man.
Because the crystals contained not just water and lightning energy but spatial power as well, Yu Tianming did not approach recklessly.
He could only watch as the countless fragments condensed into a deep purple set of armor on the man's body.
This full-body armor consisted of a breastplate, pauldrons, abdominal guard, battle skirt, and limb guards, seamlessly joined. In the center of the breastplate, a fist-sized purple gem pulsed with energy so intense it repelled Yu Tianming's spiritual sense within a meter—a truly strange phenomenon.
At the edge of the Demon Whale Sea, Ah Zhi gasped. "Energy Armor! Back when Lord Sea God ascended, he fused energy with his body to form a divine armor and transformed his martial soul into the Sea God Trident. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is only one step away from becoming a god!"
Bo Saixi, as the High Priestess of the Sea God, understood this more than anyone. Her face turned grim. "Other soul beasts lose strength when taking human form, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King channels unstable energy into armor, retaining the power of its beast form."
Worried for Yu Tianming, Ah Zhu anxiously turned to Bo Saixi. "High Priestess, as a Limit Douluo, fight with Tianming! Together you can defeat it!"
Bo Saixi shook her head helplessly. "Even at Rank 99, this battle is beyond me. If I intervene rashly, I'll only hinder him."
Though she too stood at the edge of divinity, Bo Saixi could now feel the vast power gap between peak mortals and gods.
In the heart of the Demon Whale Sea, the man and the beast faced off, suspended a thousand meters in the air.
Even facing the humanoid whale king, Yu Tianming remained calm. "Oh? You took human form—can't handle the pressure anymore?"
Grinding his teeth, the Whale King growled, "Arrogant brat! You have no idea the depth of my million-year foundation!"
In truth, its defenses couldn't hold against Yu Tianming's strange lightning. Remaining in its giant form only made it an easier target. So, it had no choice but to transform.
Now that the whale was in human form, it was Yu Tianming in his massive dragon body who became the target.
"Die!" With a roar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King attacked first.
Dozens of purple orbs of energy appeared, surrounding Yu Tianming. Their immense energy dyed the sky purple.
Yu Tianming sensed their composition—70% water, 30% lightning, with a hint of spatial energy. 'This fellow matches Ah Zhi more than I expected—no wonder she got the Sea God's Eight Trials. Too bad he's going to die in my hands.'
The orbs formed in just half a breath. Without giving him time to think, the purple orbs rained down like a meteor shower. With a 50-meter-long dragon form, there was no way to dodge.
But Yu Tianming never intended to dodge. Nor did he dismiss his Martial Soul True Body. These attacks were no threat to him, while in this form, his own damage output was unbearable for the whale king.
Under the crowd's gaze, the three-headed, two-tailed dragon stood tall in the sky, spreading its wings wide.
Explosions roared endlessly as the purple orbs engulfed his massive body. Inside his skeletal frame, space trembled and crackled with violet lightning.
Yet the whale king showed no joy. In fact, he panicked and turned to flee.
He had once battled Poseidon. When the Sea God threw his trident, the whale felt a fatal crisis and only escaped with the loss of one eye.
Now, despite being nearly divine himself, facing Yu Tianming gave him the same dread. The further he fled, the more intense the danger became.
As he neared the sea, the sense of doom peaked—like Death's scythe was at his throat.
He stopped and turned back, eyes blazing with madness.
Placing both hands on the gem in his armor, he made a heart-holding gesture.
A massive energy wave surged out. With a thunderous boom, his armor exploded into countless shards that swirled around him.
Each shard merged into the surrounding space, and his aura rose to an unimaginable height.
Bo Saixi quickly shielded herself and the girls. "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has fully unleashed his million-year foundation. He might've reached a god's level temporarily. Their battle is ending."
As if to affirm her words, the humanoid whale king roared, "Show me your real strength! Let's see who wins! Time-Space Shatter!"
With his roar, the blue-purple space shattered like glass. Seawater rushed in, forming a massive whirlpool.
Meanwhile, the purple explosions around Yu Tianming finally cleared, revealing his unscathed dragon body, glowing with a multicolored halo.
Looking at the shattered space surrounding the whale king, Yu Tianming opened his three dragon mouths and uttered, "True Dragon Soothes the World."
As the words fell, all his auras vanished, and a blinding light bloomed in the broken space.
Moments later, the light faded, and space slowly restored itself.
The whale king, battered and stripped of his defenses, floated above the sea. Blood at his lips, he looked up at Yu Tianming. "Was that divine power? Why didn't you use it from the start?"
Yu Tianming thought to himself: This is 'True Dragon Soothes the World', my strongest single-target attack from the Sky Azure Bull Python. It's most effective on small forms, not a massive beast.
The whale's human form was a mere two meters tall—a million times smaller than its original body. Only now could the energy density reach its peak.
To prevent escape, Yu Tianming had spent a long time charging this attack in dragon form. Even if the whale king briefly touched the divine realm, without armor, how could it survive divine wrath?
Yu Tianming returned to human form and hovered a hundred meters above the dying whale king. "Because I'm a god."
Villains die from talking too much. He'd never reveal the truth about his soul skills.
"Hahaha! So this is divine power!" The whale king laughed wildly.
As he laughed, he shakily raised his hands to his mouth, forming a megaphone, and let out a long, sharp howl.
With the roar, a beam of white energy shot skyward. The hoarse cry soon turned into a dragon-like roar, and the sea winds echoed in response.
"Watch out, that's the whale king's core breath!" Bo Saixi cried out.
But it was too late. The beam moved faster than her words.
Yu Tianming sensed Bo Saixi's panic and guessed the warning. Still, he simply raised his left hand and met the beam.
The moment the white gas touched his palm, a massive suction force appeared, as if a black hole opened. The core breath was instantly absorbed.
Looking down, the whale king had reverted to its giant whale form, now a corpse. A golden-red soul ring hovered above it.
Perhaps because it had briefly entered the divine realm before death, its ring flickered between golden-red and pure gold—a rare sight.
Its half-energy body began to dissolve, coloring the surrounding sea blue-purple.
Yu Tianming frowned. Though unsure how to use this corpse, he decided not to waste it and casually stored it in the Mountain Dragon King's space.
