"Sixth Spirit Ability, Scale Shot!"
In the air, Mo Hui transformed into Gigantamax Mega Gyarados, and countless blue-gold scales appeared around his body, attacking the thick lightning serpent that struck down from the sky like a storm.
"Pidgeot~"
On the other side, the Gigantamax Mega Pidgeot continuously used Air Blade and Cutting Wind Wheel to resist the heavenly tribulation striking down.
While Mo Hui resisted the rapidly shooting lightning tribulations, he was also somewhat speechless.
Originally, after realizing that this lightning tribulation was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth heavenly tribulation, Mo Hui had intended to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to prevent him from dying under the tribulation, thus losing his nearly million-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone.
But what Mo Hui hadn't expected was that the second lightning tribulation came so quickly, descending just as he was about to dive into the water to deliver a fatal blow to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Left with no choice, Mo Hui had to help the Deep Sea Demon Whale King block this second lightning tribulation, but this intervention made things worse.
The lightning tribulation not only grew larger but also became more frantic, even treating him as an accomplice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, attacking him as well.
Helplessly, Mo Hui could only first deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lightning tribulation and then go find the Deep Sea Demon Whale King after the tribulation passed.
A Spirit Beast's ninth heavenly tribulation is the final calamity before becoming a God, and this tribulation is different from the other eight; it includes not only a lightning tribulation but also a human tribulation.
The combination of human tribulation and lightning tribulation, two completely different calamities, makes it almost impossible for a Spirit Beast to pass the ninth heavenly tribulation, with a success rate of less than one percent.
Moreover, even if a Spirit Beast barely manages to pass, the God Realm will quickly learn of the Spirit Beast's ascension to Godhood and directly dispatch a Divinity to kill the Spirit Beast.
Therefore, unless one can hide the news of their ascension to Godhood, a Spirit Beast becoming a God on the Douluo Continent is a death trap. Of course, if you are like Xiao Wu, who has familial ties, that's another matter.
Originally, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human tribulation was Tang San, but now, due to Mo Hui's arrival, the World line has changed, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human tribulation has become Mo Hui.
However, in the original work, Tang San was able to directly kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; Tang San's Bodhi Blood was only a secondary reason, the main reason was that the Asura God, that old fellow, secretly intervened.
Without the Asura God's help, even with Ning Rongrong's buffs and the Clear Sky Hammer's eight rings exploding simultaneously, Tang San could not have directly destroyed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy armor, or even damaged it; at most, he would have caused the Deep Sea Demon Whale King some internal injuries.
And if the energy armor was still present, it would be a fool's dream for Tang San's Bodhi Blood to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Although Bodhi Blood can ignore defense to a certain extent, it is ultimately just a mortal technique and has its limits.
It might be possible to injure the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but to kill him with it is simply impossible.
"Life is full of uncertainties. I originally came here to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but I didn't expect that I am now helping the Deep Sea Demon Whale King resist the heavenly tribulation that is meant to take his life."
Mo Hui sighed with a hint of emotion, thinking,
According to the current situation, Mo Hui is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's human tribulation, but due to various coincidences, Mo Hui, this human tribulation, is now pitted against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's lightning tribulation.
This has led to a peculiar situation: whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King can pass this ninth heavenly tribulation entirely depends on whether Mo Hui, the human tribulation, or the lightning tribulation is stronger. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, on the other hand, is left out of it.
After observing for a while, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King also vaguely guessed the current situation and immediately pondered, "Should I take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to escape quickly? With my control over the sea, as long as I get out of the Sea God's radiation range, it's basically impossible for them to find me!"
Thinking this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately began to try, and soon he swam very far away.
But just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King thought he had finally escaped danger, a thick bolt of heavenly lightning suddenly struck down, instantly blasting a large hole in the Deep Sea Demon Whale's energy armor.
This scene immediately stunned the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; his energy armor was shattered in a single blow!
One must know that his energy armor, at its peak, was a God-level defense. Even though it had been weakened slightly from being shattered by Mo Hui's attack just now, it could still be considered almost the strongest defense below a God.
But this level of defense, shattered by a single bolt of heavenly lightning to such a large extent, then…
Immediately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised his head and looked at the sky full of heavenly lightning, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.
Could he truly pass the dozens of bolts of heavenly lightning striking down every second? Was this truly a million-year tribulation, or a tribulation of death specifically targeting him?
At the same time, Mo Hui, who had already arrived above the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, cursed, "Damn Deep Sea Demon Whale King, don't you know this lightning tribulation is your heavenly tribulation? You even want to run, are you trying to die?"
The intensity of this lightning tribulation required Mo Hui to exert his full strength to deal with it, let alone the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
Didn't he see that Mo Hui had even resorted to using both Spirits in battle mode? Even during his recent fight with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at his peak, Mo Hui had only used one Spirit.
Mo Hui could even say with certainty that currently, only he on the entire Douluo Continent had the ability to block this lightning tribulation for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King; otherwise, even if the now-strengthened Poseidon, Qian Daoliu, and the peak Tang Chen attacked together, they wouldn't be able to resist for long.
Each strike of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth heavenly tribulation lightning reached the limit of attack intensity below a God, and because it was nurtured by heaven and earth, it subtly carried the might of a God.
And Mo Hui had to face such attacks more than a dozen times per second.
If not for Mo Hui possessing Delta Airflow, which is almost equivalent to Da Tong Wind, even Mo Hui would have found it difficult to block every single strike.
After more than an hour of relentless bombardment from the heavenly tribulation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's ninth heavenly tribulation finally ended.
And at the moment the ninth heavenly tribulation ended, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly felt the barrier that had previously obstructed him disappear.
Instantly, a dazzling blue-purple light erupted from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body, and the lightning and water dual-attribute energy within him underwent a transformation, changing from ordinary energy into divine essence.
His divine body, which was originally ninety-nine percent complete, became a full hundred percent. Along with this, he successfully transformed into a dragon, and his race changed from Deep Sea Demon Whale King to Deep Sea Demonic Dragon.
Feeling the changes within himself, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was momentarily stunned before his heart swelled with ecstasy.
He had become a God, he had become a God!
A moment later, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised his head, looked at Mo Hui with an arrogant expression, and said in a nearly condescending tone, "Kid, seeing as you helped me resist the ninth heavenly tribulation, hand over your Sea God's inheritance to me, and I will give you a chance to follow me!"
