In the vast and boundless sea of the spirit, a giant whale is cautiously escaping.
As it fled, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how did these humans find me? I was hiding so well."
He originally intended to hide in the soul bone and ambush Qing Mu at the crucial moment to seize Qing Mu's body.
To his surprise, Qing Mu's spiritual power far exceeded his expectations, directly sweeping over the soul bone and forcing him to flee into Qing Mu's spiritual sea to hide carefully.
Suddenly, he noticed a giant ice scorpion lying not far away, doing something that surprised the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"This is the aura of a soul beast. Could it be that there is another one of its kind who shares the same thoughts as me?"
Thinking this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was overjoyed. If he could join forces with the other party to fight against that human, perhaps he would still have a chance to survive.
So the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately swam towards the direction of the ice scorpion.
Soon, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King arrived beside Ice Emperor and shouted at her, "Hey, friend, you must also be trapped in this human's spiritual sea, right? Why don't we join forces to kill that human, and then we can take control of this human's body together?"
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor glanced at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, then shouted to the sky, "Qing Mu, there's a soul beast here that wants to take you down!"
Rumble—
The next instant, a hand that blotted out the sky appeared and slowly descended toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King tried to escape, but found that his body was imprisoned and he couldn't even move. He could only watch helplessly as the sky-covering hand fell.
The Deep Sea Demon King's eyes widened as he angrily addressed the Ice Emperor beside him, "Why? We're all the same, so why are you willing to become a human's heir..."
However, before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could finish his question, the sky-covering palm slammed down, turning him into dust with a single blow.
"Hmph! I'm going to follow Qing Mu to the God Realm in the future. What level are you to dare say you're on the same level as me!"
After the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died, Ice Emperor snorted lightly, seemingly disdainful of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's dying words.
Then Hyotei transformed into a young girl, used her spiritual power to conjure a rocking chair, and lay down on it.
She was very satisfied with Qing Mu as she was now, and all she had to do now was wait for Qing Mu to ascend to the God Realm and revive her.
"Alas~ It's a pity that after Sister Xue Nu obtained that 100,000-year-old snow lotus, she should have been able to pass the seventh heavenly tribulation with almost certainty. Otherwise, it would have been a good choice for her to sacrifice herself to Qing Mu along with me."
Lying in the rocking chair, Hyotei sighed softly.
She felt the same way; if she could do it herself, who would risk sacrificing themselves?
Speaking of this, Hyotei thought of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. "I wonder where that ice silkworm went. If I had been able to catch it and devour it back then, I should have survived the fourth great tribulation by now, right?"
Achoo!
Deep within the Lake of Life in the Starry Sky Forest, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sneezed.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm scratched its head, puzzled, "I'm almost a million-year-old soul beast, how come I'm still sneezing? Could it be that I've been eaten too much by those people and my body has deteriorated?"
But after a moment of hesitation, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook her head violently:
"No, no! Tianmeng, how can you have time to think about these things? It's not easy for these demons to not eat me. I have to cherish this opportunity and get the Wisdom Soul Ring technique out as soon as possible!"
Choosing a human to become his intelligent soul ring was the method that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm came up with to get rid of and take revenge on Di Tian and his group.
Unfortunately, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's own combat ability was too poor, so if she wanted revenge, she could only rely on others.
On the vast ocean, the corpse of a giant demonic whale, over two hundred meters long, floated on the surface, emanating a terrifying aura.
On the corpse of the demonic whale, a young man dressed in a dark green robe sat cross-legged with a furrowed brow. Beside him, a beautiful woman in red quietly watched him.
Besides the beautiful woman in red, there was also a toad with flowers on its back watching the surroundings warily, protecting the boy.
After an unknown amount of time, the boy's brows relaxed, and a powerful surge of soul energy emanated from his body, sweeping across the surroundings.
However, the people beside him at this moment, whether it was the beautiful woman in red or the toad carrying the flower, were both exceptionally powerful, so this fluctuation of soul power naturally had no effect on them.
Immediately afterwards, the boy opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and laughed, "Level 98! This Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul bone is indeed a good thing."
That's right, with the help of the Azure Bull Python's 100,000-year soul bone and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year soul bone, Qing Mu has leveled up yet again.
The total amount of soul power in Qing Mu's body now is almost twenty times that before he broke through to the title level. Even when he activates the Taijing Super Mega Venusaur state, Qing Mu can continuously release special moves and no longer has to worry about running out of soul power.
Poseidon, witnessing this scene, was completely numb.
After all, what else could she say about someone who broke through to the peak of level 96 immediately and then broke through to level 97 and 98 in just a few days?
Fortunately, this matter is finally over.
Poseidon immediately said, "Lord Qingmu, now that you have finished your business, please come back to Seagod Island with me. Lord Seagod has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qingmu: "It's possible, but I have a question."
"What's the problem?" Poseidon asked, puzzled.
"It must take quite a while to inherit the position of the Sea God, right?"
Seeing that Qing Mu's question was about this, Poseidon pondered for a moment and replied, "Most of the trials of the Sea God's test are nothing to Lord Qing Mu at the moment. However, some trials require time. Ideally, it should be completed in two or three years."
As the high priest, Poseidon naturally knew what the sea god's test was.
Upon hearing this, Qing Mu shook her head. "Then I'm sorry, High Priest, I have some matters to attend to and need to return to the mainland."
What Qingmu was referring to was naturally killing Bibi Dong. After all, Bibi Dong has mental issues, and who knows when she might have an episode? It's better to deal with her sooner rather than later.
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, Poseidon frowned, but said without hesitation, "Then I'll go with you. Perhaps I can help you with something."
"Since the High Priest is willing to come with me, that would be wonderful."
Seeing that Poseidon had volunteered, Qing Mu smiled slightly. Now he no longer needed to worry about the safety of his family.
