Chapter 493: A Battle to Decide Victory, Defeat, Life, and Death!
As soon as Yu Tianlin finished speaking, the purple-gold first Spirit Ring surrounding him lit up.
Countless lightning spheres appeared one after another, their number reaching ten thousand in the blink of an eye.
Yu Tianlin's first Spirit Ring could condense one additional lightning sphere for every hundred years of its age.
When he first named his First Spirit Skill Thunderous Might, he had imagined that one day, he would be able to instantly condense ten thousand lightning spheres.
One lightning sphere for every hundred years.
Ten thousand lightning spheres required a million-year Spirit Ring.
When Yu Tianlin first set this goal, raising his first Spirit Ring to the million-year level had seemed like an impossible fantasy.
Yet now, he had truly accomplished it.
With a single thought, all ten thousand lightning spheres surged forward under Yu Tianlin's control, sweeping toward the Deep Sea Demon Whale King like an endless torrent.
"Nothing but petty tricks!"
Faced with Yu Tianlin's powerful attack, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King merely curled his lips in disdain.
He raised the trident in his hands, and an enormous amount of seawater instantly appeared before him. It gathered into a massive tsunami that surged toward the torrent of ten thousand lightning spheres.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Sea God Trident? What a waste of a precious treasure."
"The Sea God once showed me kindness. His Divine Artifact cannot be allowed to remain in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hands."
When they confronted the Silver Dragon King, the Sea God had personally used this Divine Artifact.
Back then, the Sea God Trident had shone with brilliant golden light in the Sea God's hands.
Now, however, its surface was covered in dark purple demonic patterns, clearly the result of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corruption.
Yu Tianlin immediately decided to reclaim the Sea God Trident.
Not long ago, when he faced the terrifying Silver Dragon King, the power the Sea God had left within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud helped him block her attack, effectively saving his life.
Although this outcome had been part of Yu Tianlin's calculations, it was undeniable that the Sea God had saved him.
Therefore, Yu Tianlin could not simply stand by and allow the Sea God Trident to remain under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's control.
As these thoughts flashed through Yu Tianlin's mind, the torrent of lightning spheres collided with the massive tsunami.
Although both attacks were purple, Yu Tianlin's lightning spheres flickered with golden radiance, while the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tsunami carried traces of black light, making the two forces easy to distinguish.
The lightning spheres and the tsunami collided violently, constantly annihilating each other.
At first glance, the two attacks seemed evenly matched.
However, Yu Tianlin's brows gradually furrowed.
With his current eyesight, how could he fail to understand the situation?
Although Thunderous Might could hold its ground for now, it would ultimately be unable to overpower the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tsunami.
Thunderous Might was one of Yu Tianlin's strongest attacks, but the tsunami unleashed by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was clearly not weak either.
Furthermore, it had been enhanced by the Sea God Trident.
It was not surprising that its power surpassed Thunderous Might.
After realizing that Thunderous Might could not give him the advantage, various colors of light immediately surged across Yu Tianlin's body.
A spear nearly three meters long appeared in his hands.
The spear possessed eight different colors, and faint dragon-shaped patterns shimmered across its surface, radiating a strange and mysterious light.
This long spear had been transformed from the eight-colored dragon horn.
Previously, the eight-colored dragon horn had resembled raw material for a Divine Artifact rather than a complete Divine Artifact itself.
While Yu Tianlin cultivated above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the eight-colored dragon horn was stimulated by the power of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, as well as the power of the Thunder God's Heavenly Tribulation.
Under the influence of these forces, it gradually began to transform.
After being nurtured for half a year, it finally took the form of a long spear.
Yu Tianlin did not understand why it had transformed into a spear rather than a great saber like the original Dragon Slaying Saber.
Could it be because he had always enjoyed stabbing people with the eight-colored dragon horn?
Regardless, the transformation had finally been completed.
A spear was perfectly acceptable, as long as it was a Divine Artifact.
Yu Tianlin had also given this Divine Artifact a name.
The Thunder Dragon Spear.
The moment the Thunder Dragon Spear appeared, Yu Tianlin gripped it with one hand, raised it behind him, and charged directly toward the tsunami.
Although Thunderous Might had been annihilated, it had also consumed most of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's tsunami.
Yu Tianlin swept the Thunder Dragon Spear forward, and the remaining waves instantly dispersed without affecting him in the slightest.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King did not evade Yu Tianlin's spear as it tore through the waves.
Instead, he raised the Sea God Trident and met the spearhead directly with the tip of the trident.
Point collided with point.
Boundless power gathered and erupted between the tip of the spear and the edge of the trident.
Yu Tianlin and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King both trembled while gripping their respective Divine Artifacts.
However, in the next instant, they tightened their hands and forced their weapons to remain steady.
They both understood that whoever was driven back during this clash would immediately fall into a disadvantage.
Neither Yu Tianlin nor the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could accept that.
Yu Tianlin wanted to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and eliminate all future trouble.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wanted revenge against Yu Tianlin.
Neither was willing to retreat.
Instead, both continued increasing the force behind their weapons.
Yet once again, the two sides remained evenly matched.
Although Yu Tianlin's Thunder Dragon Spear was superior to the Sea God Trident in quality, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cultivation was higher than Yu Tianlin's.
Each possessed their own advantages and disadvantages, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to be evenly matched.
However, precisely because of this, Yu Tianlin smiled.
When the Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw the faint smile appear on Yu Tianlin's face, an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly rose within him.
The feeling quickly became stronger.
In the next moment, Yu Tianlin revealed the source of that unease.
The powers of the Fire Dragon King's right arm Spirit Bone, the Water Dragon King's left arm Spirit Bone, Thunder God's Judgment, and Dragon God Claw were activated simultaneously.
All four powers poured into the Thunder Dragon Spear.
They travelled along the spear shaft and converged at its tip.
Seeing Yu Tianlin unleash such a powerful move, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King naturally refused to fall behind.
He immediately activated his own power, causing the numerous demonic patterns covering the Sea God Trident to erupt with brilliant purple light.
However, beneath that purple radiance, a trace of golden light quietly emerged.
The previously smooth flow of the dark purple energy suddenly faltered.
It lasted for only a brief instant.
Yet that instant was enough.
The power gathered within the Thunder Dragon Spear erupted violently, causing the Sea God Trident to tremble uncontrollably.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was alarmed by this sudden development, but he still gripped the trident tightly.
Then, the powers of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' arm Spirit Bones, Thunder God's Judgment, and Dragon God Claw spread from the Thunder Dragon Spear into the trident.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hands shattered under the impact.
The Sea God Trident was forcibly knocked from his grasp and sent flying away.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the cause of your defeat is the Sea God Trident."
"Never casually wield a Divine Artifact that does not belong to you."
More than half a year ago, Yu Tianlin had taken the Angelic Sacred Sword from Qian Renxue.
Yet he had never once attempted to use it.
How could there be no reason for that?
The same principle applied to the Sea God Trident.
Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had forcibly subdued it through his powerful cultivation, doing so had planted a hidden danger.
Under ordinary circumstances, the Sea God Trident could enhance his combat strength.
However, during a true battle where both sides fought with everything they possessed, that hidden danger would inevitably emerge.
And in a battle of this level, even the slightest problem could prove fatal.
Under the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's horrified gaze, the Thunder Dragon Spear pierced directly toward him.
