The calamity clouds dissipated.
But the sea soul beasts within a few hundred miles all felt as though the blade of heavenly punishment still hung above their heads.
Looking at the blood-red sea surface and the countless soul rings rising, Li Yu muttered softly, "This... can't be wasted."
He then waved his hand, and [Asura] appeared, with its fourth soul ring flickering.
A blood-red furnace appeared, which was then held in his palm. Immediately, a terrifying suction force emerged from within.
The terrifying stench of blood from hundreds of miles of sea was drawn into the furnace, which then began to refine it, converting it into [Asura]'s power.
Of course, this would take some time.
Li Yu mind shifted, and the natural life domain covered him, hiding his aura while spatial folds concealed his figure.
Finally, his gaze shifted to Tang Chen and Bo Saixi, who had already retreated to the edge of Sea God Island.
At this moment, Bo Saixi had once again regained some of the Sea God's [authority].
Tang Chen's aura was also terrifying, but the Asura God Sword he held seemed to be trembling.
It appeared he could barely hold onto it.
"Even so, do you still want to serve Him?" Li Yu spoke, his voice echoing over the seemingly endless sea.
How they reacted didn't concern him.
They couldn't escape, so there was no need to worry about them for now.
His gaze focused on abyss under the sea, and he said, "I'll give you three breaths. Either I kill you, or you come out yourself."
After speaking, he emotionlessly began to count, "Three... two..."
Before he could say "one," the sea began to churn, and the massive figure of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King emerged.
"Your divine powers are vast, but I am a million-year-level super fierce beast. Can you give me a little face?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke in a mixture of flattery and humility.
"..." Li Yu was momentarily silent.
At least the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a true million-year soul beast, but why did it look like this?
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Yu finally uttered these three words.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King awkwardly smiled and said no more, quietly waiting on the side.
He had already witnessed Li Yu power, and he had already made up his mind.
At this point, revealing himself was the final decision.
But since Li Yu had not spoken, he just waited.
Half an hour later, Li Yu raised his hand, and the power of the natural life domain descended, followed by spatial folds.
In an instant, both Li Yu and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King "disappeared" from the sea surface.
"This is..." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at the suddenly appearing figure of [Asura] and his pupils constricted.
From [Asura], he faintly sensed an aura that was even more terrifying than the Thunder God's.
This wasn't the strength that was visibly displayed, but the inner power level.
"Let's begin." Li Yu didn't waste words, and seven soul rings rose beneath [Asura]'s feet.
Five red, one blood-red, one Fire gold—these seven soul rings seemed to crown [Asura], causing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body to tremble.
This combination of soul rings opened his eyes wide and made him realize Li Yu extraordinary power.
"Glurp~" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King swallowed and then leaped into the air. A blood-red beam of light rose from his body and spread out, enveloping [Asura].
He had begun his sacrifice!
This was the sacrifice of an unmatched divine beast that should have had the title of "Beast God."
Unlike other beasts' sacrifices, this one was under the concealment of Li Yu power.
Above the sea, which had just calmed down, a blood-red vortex appeared again.
The blood-red beam of light reached from the sky to the sea, showing its terrifying might.
"What's happening now?" The sea soul beasts below were now numb. They wanted to say, "Destroy it, I'm tired!"
On the edge of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi and Tang Chen looked at the blood-red beam with complex expressions.
"According to what Li Yu said, this phenomenon means that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been completely subdued and has already sacrificed himself to Li Yu," Bo Saixi whispered.
"Even gods can't threaten her. I fear that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to hurt her!" Tang Chen's expression was equally complex.
Behind them, the Seven Sacred Pillars stood guard, including Sea Dragon Douluo and six other powerful beings. They all stood side by side, solemnly watching the distant blood beam.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's conversation had not been hidden from them.
Thus, they heard everything clearly and realized that Sea God Island might be facing a great calamity.
How could such a terrifying person exist?
Why has the Sea God remained silent until now?
They were confused, not knowing that, more than half an hour ago, the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi, had already been abandoned by the Sea God they respected.
"What should we do?" Bo Saixi asked herself.
Li Yu words still echoed in her ears.
She couldn't help but ask herself, "With such a Sea God, do I still want to serve Him?"
But, the power still descended upon her, and she was once again shackled by fate.
It seemed there was no resistance, nor could she resist.
Buzz~
At this moment, a buzzing sound rang in Bo Saixi's ears. She paused and looked toward the source of the sound.
She saw Tang Chen's trembling hand, now unable to hold on any longer.
His hand loosened, and the blood-glowing Asura God Sword slipped from his grip, heading straight for the blood beam!
"You..." Bo Saixi opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"To lose to her isn't unjust," Tang Chen spoke bitterly, and his aura began to rapidly fall.
The power of "Asura" that had been on him completely dissipated at this moment.
Even the Asura domain had "transformed," becoming the Killing God domain.
...
Boom!
The terrifying force spread, shaking even Li Yu.
The sacrifice of the million-year soul beast indeed opened his eyes.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body collapsed, and a brilliant golden eighth soul ring successfully formed.
Li Yu eyes locked onto the front, and he raised his hand, sending a burst of natural life energy. A green willow branch grew, and a green bud fell from it.
Then, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's divine consciousness solidified and transformed into a soul spirit.
At the moment of reaching a million years of cultivation, his mental power had already transformed, though without the baptism of the thunder tribulation, his power was lacking considerably.
At the same time.
A complete and brilliant blood-red torso bone appeared.
And...
[Level: 99]
[Ascension]: [Level: 99/99 [Completed]]
[Elemental Authority: 3/9]
[Second Martial Spirit: Asura]
[Soul Rings]: [...] [Eighth Soul Ring] Divine-Level [Magic Whale Fury Slash: Manipulating extreme water power, the Magic Whale strikes with fury, slashing the enemy, ignoring their defense.]
[Magic Whale Dragon King Destruction: Condensing blood soul power into the Magic Whale Dragon, leaping to strike, with the power of self-destruction to kill.]
[Asura God Sword: Condensing Magic Whale blood, merging with the Asura aura, forming a divine sword of Asura.]
[Asura Black Hole: Devours the enemy, collapsing from within.]
Li Yu scanned the list, his eyes filled with astonishment and delight.
Four soul... divine skills!
Unexpected, yet also within reason.
But, this was not the most crucial part. The sacrifice of the million-year soul beast, the transformation of [Asura], was what truly mattered!
