Chapter 491: Qian Daoliu Burns His Life, Yu Tianlin Arrives
With Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu fighting at full strength, the three of them barely managed to restrain the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, creating an opportunity for the Spirit Empire's forces to retreat while fighting.
However, they were only barely holding him back.
As the battle continued, the pressure upon them grew increasingly overwhelming.
Of the three, Bibi Dong possessed the greatest raw strength and wielded a Divine Artifact. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's attacks left her somewhat disheveled, she could still maintain a relatively stable position.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, on the other hand, relied on borrowing the power of the sun to amplify themselves. Only through this enhancement could they barely contend with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The moment their connection to the sun was severed, their strength would immediately return to its original level.
And that was exactly what the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did.
After becoming a God, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength had undergone a terrifying qualitative transformation.
Even Bo Saixi, whom he had once regarded as a formidable opponent, was no longer his match. He had broken through the Sea God's power she borrowed without expending much effort, leaving him with the loneliness of standing at the peak.
Therefore, when confronted by three opponents who could barely contend with him by joining forces, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not immediately use his full strength.
Instead, he toyed with them out of interest.
Now that the battle had continued for some time, that interest had completely faded.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King began to fight seriously.
Once he stopped holding back, dealing with the power of the sun borrowed by Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue became extremely simple.
With a single thought, overwhelming purple light erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and enveloped Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu.
The moment they were swallowed by the purple light, the three felt as though they had fallen into an enormous vortex.
A strange force bound their bodies, making even the slightest movement incredibly difficult.
That was not all.
The blazing golden flames surrounding Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, which had appeared after they borrowed the sun's power, were instantly extinguished.
The two of them suddenly discovered that they could no longer sense the sun at all.
"It's a Domain!"
Bibi Dong was the first to react. She shouted toward Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu on either side of her, "Use your Domains! We'll break through it together!"
As her voice fell, Bibi Dong immediately released her Death Domain.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue acted at the same time, expanding their Angelic Domains.
However, even with all three Domains layered together, they could not break through the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain.
They could only barely maintain a small area less than ten meters wide around themselves.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth.
A white halo surged from her body as she activated the Slaughter God Domain as well.
Yet if three Domains had failed, would four make any difference?
Obviously not.
The three of them remained firmly suppressed.
"I've lost interest in you."
A ferocious smile appeared on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face.
"All of you can die now!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately charged toward Qian Renxue, who was closest to him, and brought the demonic trident down upon her.
Suppressed by his Domain, Qian Renxue's movements were heavily restricted and her speed had fallen drastically.
Meanwhile, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's speed was terrifyingly fast.
She could only watch helplessly as the trident descended toward her.
Bibi Dong was beside Qian Renxue. Since she had activated two Domains, the restrictions upon her were slightly weaker, allowing her to move with difficulty.
She thrust the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe forward, attempting to block the strike for Qian Renxue.
However, it accomplished little.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King merely adjusted the trajectory of his trident slightly, knocking the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe aside before continuing to strike toward Qian Renxue.
Just as Qian Renxue was about to die beneath the attack, brilliant sacred light suddenly erupted within the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's dark purple Domain.
Boom!
Intense golden flames abruptly rose from Qian Daoliu's body.
The flames seemed to possess no temperature, yet they illuminated the entire vast Domain at that moment.
It was as though Qian Daoliu had replaced the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and become the center of the Domain.
Qian Daoliu had chosen to burn himself.
He ignited not only his Spirit Power, but also his body, his soul, and everything he possessed.
This sacrifice had originally been intended to guide Qian Renxue through the final trial of the Angel God's inheritance.
However, with Qian Renxue on the verge of death, Qian Daoliu could no longer concern himself with that future.
As a servant of the Angel God, he bore the responsibility of guiding the inheritor of the Angel God's position and had received numerous blessings from the Angel God.
Now, by burning everything he possessed, Qian Daoliu unleashed terrifying power.
At this moment, he briefly crossed the barrier of the Divine Rank.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain could no longer restrain him.
His figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Qian Renxue.
The longsword formed from sacred flames rose in his hand and collided with the descending trident, forcibly blocking the attack.
"You're burning your life to fight me?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression instantly darkened when his certain-kill strike was stopped.
"What use is that? This is nothing more than a moment of brilliance. In a short while, you will die without even a place to be buried."
Qian Daoliu did not respond.
His lips moved slightly as he transmitted a final message to Qian Renxue.
Then, the longsword of sacred flames in his hand slashed outward, tearing open a crack in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain.
"Xue'er, Grandpa believes that you will definitely become the Angel God..."
Hearing her grandfather's voice, Qian Renxue fell into a daze.
Bibi Dong, however, reacted instantly.
She grabbed Qian Renxue and rushed through the opening in the Domain.
After escaping from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Domain, Bibi Dong knew that Qian Daoliu's current state could not last for long.
She decisively pulled Qian Renxue away and fled into the distance.
No matter what, leaving this place as quickly as possible was their best option.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was far too powerful. They had no way to deal with him now.
They could return for revenge after becoming Gods.
Just as cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes while she contemplated her future revenge, a figure suddenly appeared before them and blocked their escape.
"Bibi Dong? Qian Renxue?"
"You actually managed to hold on until now. That wasn't easy."
Bibi Dong was far too familiar with that voice.
She immediately glared at the newcomer and gritted her teeth.
"Yu Tianlin?!"
That was right.
The person who had arrived was Yu Tianlin.
The reason the Heaven Dou Empire had previously established defensive positions along its western coast was to prevent the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from launching a sudden attack.
However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had not attacked the Heaven Dou Empire first. He had started with the Star Luo Empire and then moved northward, making his movements easy to predict.
Under these circumstances, Yu Tianlin naturally had no reason to continue waiting for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to come to him.
He immediately headed south and rushed toward the Spirit Empire's coastal region.
Now, he had finally caught up.
