Half a month later.
Mo Hui opened his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and felt a lingering fear.
As expected, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's consciousness was indeed hidden within the Spirit Bone, attempting to find a suitable opportunity to seize Mo Hui's body.
Fortunately, Mo Hui had been meticulous enough in his initial inspection, forcing out the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's remaining consciousness.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was, after all, a god-level powerhouse. Although he had been severely injured by Lugia's vortex attack previously, his will remained incredibly strong. Mo Hui's battle with him was not smooth, but the opponent was ultimately a rootless duckweed with no subsequent replenishment, and was eventually worn down and killed by Mo Hui.
However, Mo Hui's mental force was severely depleted as a result, and his complexion was somewhat pale.
Although Mo Hui's mental force was severely depleted in that battle, he was not without gains.
Through the soul confrontation with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the absorption of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's remaining mental force origin, Mo Hui's own mental force was greatly enhanced, even surpassing veteran Limit Douluos like Poseidon.
Furthermore, after absorbing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million-year torso bone, Mo Hui's level finally broke through to ninety-ninth rank, with the next step being becoming a god.
Feeling the changes in his body, Mo Hui was both delighted and somewhat dazed.
In fact, Mo Hui had not anticipated achieving such accomplishments today. In just twenty years, he had become the pinnacle Limit Douluo of this World, and had even slain a high and mighty god.
At the very beginning, he had merely wanted to become a Spirit Master and receive some subsidies from Spirit Hall to live a better life.
A moment later, Mo Hui shook his head and tidied up the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse.
Even after more than half a month, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse showed no signs of decay. Even the surrounding Blue Silver Grass had undergone some changes due to the energy emanating from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse.
Upon seeing this, Mo Hui couldn't help but muse, "This place could also be called a dragon's resting place. If I were to leave the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse here indefinitely, perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years, this place could become a treasure land similar to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Of course, leaving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse here for hundreds or thousands of years was impossible. With such benefits, Mo Hui would certainly take it with him.
Soon, Mo Hui found the most valuable items from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King: whale glue, whale brain, and whale pearl, and stored them in his spirit tool.
Then, Mo Hui beckoned to Pidgeot beside him and said, "Pidgeot, grab this Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse. We're returning to Sea God Island."
"Pidgeot~"
Hearing Mo Hui's words, Pidgeot nodded.
Pidgeot's eighth spirit ring lit up, and his body rapidly expanded, instantly soaring to over a hundred meters.
At the same time, Mo Hui also flew onto Pidgeot's back. Pidgeot then grabbed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse, flapped his wings, and flew towards Sea God Island.
Above the sea, a green meteor sped by—it was a large bird named Pidgeot flying at high speed.
… … … …
In front of the Sea God Hall steps, Ning Rongrong was struggling to climb the stairs, with Poseidon's urging voice occasionally coming from the side.
"Is this all you're capable of? It's been twenty whole days, and you've only ascended forty steps. You should know that when your master challenged the Sea God's Light back then, he ascended three hundred and sixty steps in a single day."
Upon Poseidon's words, Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, swiftly circulated the path from the "Seven-Colored Glazed Body" manual, and barely managed to take another step upwards.
When Ning Rongrong first began climbing the Sea God's Light, she also complained bitterly, but she soon discovered that the process of climbing the Sea God's Light was the most suitable place to cultivate the self-created Spirit Ability called "Seven-Colored Glazed Body" that Mo Hui had given her.
With the assistance of the Sea God's Light, she had already mastered the first layer of the Seven-Colored Glazed Body and was now striving towards the second layer.
It was precisely because of the Seven-Colored Glazed Body's help that she was able to ascend these forty-one steps; otherwise, with her original body, she would at most only be able to ascend twenty-something steps.
Seeing this, Poseidon, in front of the Sea God Hall, couldn't help but nod inwardly. For a Spirit King-level auxiliary Spirit Master, being able to achieve this was already very impressive; she was indeed a genius capable of receiving a Black-level Six Test.
The Black-level Six Test was already the highest level of examination below the ultimate examination. Among the current Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos, only Sea Dragon Douluo had a Black-level Six Test.
However, in the next instant, Poseidon's beautiful face suddenly changed, and she said, "This is the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! This might, could it be that he has already passed the ninth heavenly tribulation and become a Beast God?"
The sudden appearance of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's aura greatly startled Poseidon. If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already become a god, then what about Mo Hui, who had gone to challenge him earlier?
However, just as Poseidon ascended into the air, preparing to use the remaining Sea God divine force within the Sea God Hall to confront this powerful incoming enemy, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Senior Poseidon, it's me!"
The next moment, a giant Pidgeot suddenly appeared above the Sea God Hall, clutching the corpse of a purple-gold giant dragon in his talons.
And Mo Hui was precisely standing on Pidgeot's head.
"Mo Hui, have you completed the eighth test?"
Looking at Mo Hui and Pidgeot who had suddenly appeared before her, Poseidon was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.
Mo Hui nodded and said, "I had a slight advantage. I barely managed to kill this Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
Saying that, Mo Hui had Pidgeot put down the Deep Sea Demon Whale's corpse.
"Rumble~"
The next moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse fell from the sky, landing on the open ground in front of the Sea God Hall, making a sound like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
This sudden movement startled Ning Rongrong, who was in the middle of her test, and she lost her balance, being bounced away by the Sea God's Light.
Whoosh~
Poseidon came before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse, looking at the massive dragon-shaped corpse emanating a powerful aura, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Judging by the corpse's form and the aura it emitted, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had clearly succeeded in transforming into a dragon and becoming a Beast God.
Yet, even so, he was still killed by Mo Hui. Just how powerful had Mo Hui become?
Or… did a god intervene?
For a moment, a trace of bewilderment flashed in Poseidon's eyes; her Worldview was somewhat collapsing.
Moreover, what made Poseidon even more curious was that Mo Hui had clearly completed the eighth test, so why hadn't she received a notification?
However, what she didn't know was that her Sea God was currently facing immense trouble and temporarily had no energy to observe what was happening in the lower realm.
