"You really killed a Beast God?"
Mo Hui's words left Qingling utterly shocked. She truly hadn't expected that Mo Hui could kill a Beast God while still a mortal.
Immediately, Qingling frowned and said, "No, even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was weak, after surviving the heavenly tribulation, he was a genuine God. The power of your move might have reached the God-level, but it couldn't have killed him!"
Although Mo Hui's aura and his rapidly increasing cultivation level all indicated that he should have indeed killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, how could a mortal slay a God?
One must know that Gods and mortals are completely different levels of life; the gap between them is too vast.
Even if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had just entered the God-level, it wouldn't work!
Perhaps with the divine artifacts on his person and Pidgeot's God-level attack, Mo Hui could cause some trouble for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but to kill him? That was absolutely impossible!
Suddenly, Qingling seemed to understand something.
Could it be… Wind God made a move?
Yes, it must be. She knew that the God Realm couldn't possibly allow a Spirit Beast in this World to become a God. So there was a trump card after all!
Just as Qingling thought she was about to reach a conclusion, Mo Hui's next words directly denied her conjecture.
"If it were before fighting you, Qingling, then naturally I couldn't have."
Mo Hui smiled slightly and said, "But after fighting you, Qingling, I realized my own strength was still insufficient, so I spent over half a year creating a ultimate move. I originally intended to use it as a trump card when fighting you, but I didn't expect the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to experience it first instead."
Upon hearing this, Qingling was immediately stunned. What kind of move could grant a mortal the ability to kill a God-level being?
"You're telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I'll be prepared and you won't be able to pass the Eighth Trial?" Qingling raised an eyebrow, looking at Mo Hui with a half-smile.
"Not afraid!"
Mo Hui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Because I have enough confidence in this move of mine!"
As he spoke, the illusory figures of Pidgeot and Gyarados immediately appeared behind Mo Hui. Then, the two merged, and in just a moment, a bird-like figure with a white body and wing-like hands appeared before Qingling.
This was precisely Mo Hui's strongest trump card currently, the Self-Spirit Fusion Skill, Lugia!
"This is the aura of a God!"
Upon seeing the Lugia before her, Qingling placed one hand to her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
Compared to when he fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Lugia Mo Hui unleashed at this moment was undoubtedly stronger. The aura it emitted even made an experienced God-level expert like Qingling feel a strong threat.
After a moment of surprise, Qingling couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect a mortal to be able to use such a move. Wind God truly found a good successor. Judging by the aura emanating from your move, even I might not be your opponent now."
In Qingling's eyes, what Mo Hui fused through the Spirit Fusion Skill was already indistinguishable from a God. Although its origin was different from the Gods she had encountered before, it was equally noble.
If there was any drawback, it was the lack of a corresponding God Position, but Mo Hui was going to inherit Wind God's God Position, so that wasn't a problem.
"However…"
Then, Qingling's admiring gaze suddenly changed, and she continued, "No matter how strong your power is, the process still needs to be followed. Come on, let me see what power this ultimate move you specifically prepared for me possesses."
After speaking, Qingling immediately transformed back into her original form as the Windless Qingling Bird and began to fight the Lugia that Mo Hui had transformed into.
The Windless Qingling Bird had broken through many years ago and had once fought Wind God. Her strength was naturally not comparable to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and both sides possessed the Wind Avatar ultimate move. For a time, the two fought an extremely intense and close battle.
However, this deadlock abruptly ended when Mo Hui unleashed Delta Airflow.
After multiple rounds of improvements by Mo Hui, Delta Airflow was now no different from Wind God's Datong Wind, and in some sense, it was even superior to Wind God's Datong Wind.
The reason Wind Avatar could ignore the opponent's attacks was essentially by relying on the high energy level of the transformed energy; lower-level energy cannot affect higher-level energy.
However, Mo Hui, now transformed into Lugia, was already at the God-level in terms of rank, and the Delta Airflow unleashed by Lugia was naturally also God-level!
God-level Delta Airflow was enough to refine any God-level energy of the same rank, let alone Qingling's wind-attribute God-level energy. This was also one of the reasons why Qingling lost to Wind God.
She believed herself to be a favored child of the World's wind-attribute energy, capable of immunity to any wind-attribute energy attacks, and thus Wind God's nemesis. But how could Wind God, being Wind God, be simple?
Why could Wind God create a divine artifact like the Wind Stabilizing Pearl? Because the Wind Stabilizing Pearl itself was a manifestation of Wind God's own abilities.
Wind God not only possessed the ability to be immune to wind-attribute ultimate moves that Qingling had but also possessed the ability to utterly destroy wind-attribute energy that Qingling lacked.
Wherever Datong Wind passed, all matter in the World would be transformed into wind. This was Wind God, an old-school first-rank God.
However, although Wind God, as an old-school first-rank God, was very powerful, he would still be suppressed in rank when facing a God King-level expert.
And due to the rules of the God Realm, it was not impossible for Wind God to continue to grow stronger, but it was extremely unlikely. This was also one of the reasons why Wind God was willing to agree to Sea God's request.
After fighting for a while longer, Qingling, who felt she had no chance of winning under the Delta Airflow, transformed back into her human form and said to Mo Hui, "You win!"
"You flatter me!"
Upon hearing Qingling's words, Mo Hui immediately dispelled the Spirit Fusion Skill and cupped his hands to Qingling.
The next moment, the Wind God's mark on Pidgeot's head suddenly shone with a brilliant blue light. The blue light continuously extended, enveloping both Pidgeot and Mo Hui entirely.
At the same time, Mo Hui and Pidgeot both heard Wind God's voice.
"Wind God's Eighth Trial: Completely defeat the Windless Qingling Bird, complete!
Reward: Wind God affinity increased by thirty percent, all of Pidgeot's spirit ring cultivation years increased by thirty thousand years!"
In an instant, the spirit ring belonging to Pidgeot on Mo Hui's body was revealed. After receiving the ten-thousand-year reward from Sea God's Eighth Trial, Mo Hui's Pidgeot's spirit ring had already become six black, two red, and one blue.
And under Wind God's thirty-thousand-year reward, Pidgeot's spirit ring once again underwent a change. Not only did the colors of Mo Hui's first five spirit rings become deeper, but the sixth spirit ring now even had a hint of red.
Evidently, after multiple increases in cultivation years, the spirit ring originally obtained from killing the fifty-thousand-year Undying Azure Eagle was now only a step away from reaching one hundred thousand years.
